Chapter 308: Divine means

These scientists are immersed in studying the research objectives on the test bench, which is also specially manufactured, and a scanning probe microscope is placed on the test bench.
This is a miniature robotic arm with nanometer size accuracy, that is, even if the robotic arm is a huge machine, as long as its end manipulator can complete the task of nanometer operation, this type of robotic arm can be Called "nano robotic arm."
Scanning probe microscope is a kind of nano robotic arm, and scanning probe microscope can be divided into three types: "scanning tunneling microscope", "atomic force microscope" and "scanning near-field optical microscope".
The most famous application case is that in 1990, ibm scientists first used scanning probe microscopes to gradually move 35 xenon atoms adsorbed on the nickel surface and arrange them into the word "ibm". This kind of atom transfer Technology is considered to have laid a historical foundation for the production of nano robots.
At this time, everyone is using a scanning near-field optical microscope. Because the nano robotic arm already has a foundation in reality. Although it is expensive and requires high precision technology, the hive itself is very advanced in the field of nanotechnology. It is not difficult to make such a robot arm. The finished product is a lot more advanced than the most advanced nano robotic arm in the world, and the nano robots that deal with the day when the earth stalls are completely out of the question.
Seeing that the scientists were still immersed in their research, Zhang Heng walked directly to Louis, who directed the people to study. At this time, Louis also saw Zhang Heng, and quickly reached out to welcome him. He immediately expressed concern after shaking hands with Zhang Heng, "mr. Zhang , Is your body okay? "
"Rest assured, since I have the ability to bring the nano-robot back, it means that these things can't hurt me." Zhang Heng nodded, no matter where, the more capable people will be more respected, at this time Louis is in The importance of the hive is no less than that of top scientists such as Yan Ronghua and Luo Jincheng, and Louis is in a period of rapid accumulation. It is likely that the future achievements will be above the top four scientists. Zhang Heng treats this person with good looks, too. Will not put on the boss's shelf.
"That's good, actually I'm really surprised." Louis was excited. "Did you know? We just disassembled more than a hundred robots, but found that the internal structure of this robot is extremely complicated, even more than t- The 800 is more complicated, which almost upends our perception of nanobots! "
"In our cognition, because nano robots are extremely tiny, they should not have too complicated structures, because the more complicated the structure, the higher the cost of manufacturing, and the nano robots need tens of thousands of tens of thousands of things. Only 10,000 or more can complete a certain task. Such workload and capital expenditure are almost impossible for us! "
"However, after a general analysis of the functions of the nano-robot components you brought back, we found out that the other party actually has the ability to copy itself. Then we came to understand that it turned out that for the creators of this nano-robot, they It only suffices to make a nano-robot, and the remaining nano-robot will soon be copied as the robot devours more and more materials. It can be said that in addition to the material cost, the manufacturing cost of the new nano-robot It's zero! "
"It's amazing!" Louis couldn't help but sigh. "We're not thinking about using robot self-replication technology to expand the number of nano-robots, but there are two big limitations-first, nano-robots want to replicate A similar kind of work requires a lot of work, just like a human being has to design a bionic person that is no different from human beings. It can't be done without months or even years of effort. "
"Then, it's a matter of materials." Louis continued, "there are strict requirements on the selection of nano-robots. In fact, we have found artificial compounds on the parts of nano-robots, and their shell is an inorganic metal material. Manufactured with a melting point of more than 3000 degrees Celsius, just this can make them completely immune to high temperatures of thousands of degrees, while the body contains dozens of materials. At the same time, they have melting modules, building modules, and can convert light energy The technology contained in the powered micro-solar modules even exploded our electronic mosquitoes and flying sticks. "
"But I remember that these nano-robots only became so much by swallowing tungsten gold. Where did those tungsten gold go?" Zhang Heng couldn't help frowning, and this question has always puzzled him. If this is just a movie, Zhang Heng can also say that this is a bug when making a movie, but when the movie becomes a reality?
"That's what I'm about to emphasize." Louis also showed an incredible admiration, he hesitated, couldn't help but make a mystery, "Do you know how artificial elements were born?"
"You mean ..." Zhang Heng couldn't help shrinking his pupils and whispered, "Change the number of protons in the nucleus?"
"Yes, this nano-robot uses this method to change all the swallowed substances into what they need, and then builds and assembles them, splits them into two, divides them into four, and devours everything. ! "
Zhang Heng couldn't help showing a shocked look, although he also faintly guessed this possibility, but after this possibility was verified, Zhang Heng was even more shocked—forcibly interfering with the microscopic particles of the proton level, which is already godlike Even if it was Madam Curie who first used the method of function, she only used the method of "atomic addition" to change one substance into another.
The so-called atomic addition is that when the atomic nucleus of element 84, plutonium, splits, it will eject its "fragment", the helium nucleus, at a very high speed. In the helium nucleus, it contains two protons. So they used the helium as a "cannonball" and "fired" on the metal aluminum plate. In the end, a miracle occurred, and the metal element aluminum turned into phosphorus.
This method with too many restrictions is a bit tricky, but in the era when science was extremely underdeveloped in the last century, this achievement even exceeded the achievements of Zhang Heng's invention t-1, and laid the foundation for the human to complete the periodic table. The solid foundation so that physicists later invented the cyclotron, also known as the atomic cannon.
But now, the nano-robot has the ability to change the material structure at will, so that one element becomes another element, and the method is much easier than the atomic cannon and other methods. If this technology Can be grasped by Zhang Heng, then Zhang Heng's potential will expand in an instant.
The so-called gold and stone of the ancients was nothing more than that. (To be continued.) 2k novel reading network
