By the time the entire operation was completed, all the hemangiomas in the monkey's body had disappeared, leaving no trace of wounds.
"I declare the operation a success!"
Following Professor Huang's announcement, the laboratory immediately cheered.
Soon, the small smart device company held a press conference.
At this press conference, Professor Huang, as a representative of the laboratory, announced that the laboratory has developed a mature and usable surgical nanorobot, which can be used to treat various cancers, trauma, internal injuries and other diseases.
There is no doubt that this press conference immediately caused a huge stir in the international medical community.
The number of downloads of papers written by Professor Huang once surged.
No way, this news is a great shock to both the medical experts and the micro-robot experiments in various countries.
The country of Choudras has just developed a 40-micron robot, but you have already developed a 100-nanometer robot? Are you still mature enough to invest in surgical treatment?
This really subverted the imagination of many scholars.
After all, the gap between the two is too big.
In fact, the progress of this surgical nanorobot is beyond their imagination.
In the factory of Xiaoxiao Intelligent Equipment Company in Binhai City, the surgical nanorobot factory has been completed and put into production.
The production method of this kind of surgical nanorobot is very different from other robots.
As long as the AI intelligence has permission and issues special instructions, this kind of surgical nanorobot can replicate itself.
This is much easier and cheaper than using other machines to create nanorobots.
Therefore, the so-called surgical nanorobot factory does not have many high-tech production lines at all, but only huge metal tanks.
These metal tanks are filled with nanoscale carbon particles and maintenance fluid.
As long as a certain number of nanorobots are put in, a large number of nanorobots can be copied very quickly.
As this kind of surgical nanorobot is undergoing clinical testing in major hospitals, Professor Huang has obtained a new design plan.
Naturally, this design plan is not a surgical nanorobot, but a mechanical repair nanorobot.
This kind of mechanical repair nanorobot can repair various mechanical damages in a short time and has a wide range of applications.
To put it bluntly, this thing is a bit like the nanorobots used by advanced civilizations in the interstellar space on interstellar battleships, which can repair damaged parts of the ship at any time.
However, the research difficulty of this kind of nanorobot is much higher than that of surgical nanorobot.
Its environmental adaptability and movement speed are very demanding, and it also requires fast copying capabilities.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to complete the task requirements in a short time.
Take a destroyer as an example. If its underwater part is penetrated by a missile, the nanorobots must have strong pressure resistance if they want to repair the hole. Otherwise, the influx of seawater will destroy the nanorobots. The repair task simply cannot be completed.
The same is true for airplanes in the sky. Once they are penetrated, the difference in air pressure between the inside and outside will inevitably cause airflow impact. If the nanorobots cannot resist this pressure, they will naturally be useless.
Therefore, the structure of this kind of nanorobot is naturally different from that of surgical nanorobots.
Fang Xiaoyue designed it into a spiral tube shape.
To put it bluntly, these nanorobots are tiny carbon nanotubes.
They can rotate with each other and tighten like snails to achieve high compressive strength.
And they can use the carbon powder carried in the hollow structure to quickly replicate to achieve the purpose of quickly repairing the machine.
It is said that the research of this kind of mechanical repair nanorobot is very difficult, but the design plan in Professor Huang's hand is almost as detailed as teaching you how to make a mechanical repair nanorobot step by step.
Therefore, during the entire manufacturing process, Professor Huang felt more relaxed than ever before.
Of course, it was precisely because of previous experience that the mechanical repair nanorobot was developed in just a few days.
However, these mechanical repair nanorobots did not hold a press conference like the surgical nanorobots.
Instead, it was secretly provided to the Xuanyan Kingdom's military and even large shipbuilding plants.
No way, this thing is too cutting-edge.
As soon as the Xuanyan Army heard the news, they came to the door and demanded that it be listed as a prohibited export product.
This is not surprising, anyone with some knowledge knows how powerful this thing is.
Whether it's a fighter jet or a warship, using this thing is simply an unsinkable bunker!
You make a hole, I will fill a hole.
Especially after Professor Huang gave the military representatives a detailed introduction to the applicable environmental range of this mechanical repair nanorobot, the military representatives' eyes widened.
Simply put, this kind of mechanically repaired nanorobot can operate normally in an environment between minus 50 degrees and 300 degrees above zero.
In other words, as long as the ambient temperature does not exceed this range, the nanorobots can function.
This temperature range basically covers the operating temperature range of fighter jets and warships.
And Professor Huang also said that after a while, the second generation of mechanical repair nanorobots can be developed, and their adaptable temperature range will be wider.
Military representatives also know that as nanorobots are updated from generation to generation, they may be able to directly repair various engines in high-temperature environments.
In that case, this kind of nanobot would be terrifying.
Even if the fighter jet is hit by an engine, it will not fall down.
Of course, whether this thing is good or not depends on the actual usage.
Therefore, under the arrangement of the Xuanyan Kingdom's military, a special test was conducted on the sea.
In addition to military representatives, there were also representatives from major ships and aircraft factories participating in this special test.
This is not surprising. Once this thing is put into mass production, its initial customers will definitely be these two industries.
After all, if other industries use this kind of mechanical repair nanorobot, the cost is still a bit high.
And it's not very necessary.
For example, household appliances such as refrigerators and televisions cannot be repaired by nanorobots.
On the other hand, agricultural harvesters and various construction machinery can be used, but again, the price-performance ratio is not cost-effective.
Only airplanes and ships really need this kind of nanorobots to ensure safety.
Everyone boarded a small frigate at the port, and the small frigate was towing an obsolete torpedo boat behind it.
The small frigate took the lead and rushed ahead, heading for the test site more than a hundred nautical miles away. The torpedo boat's engine had long been dismantled and could only be dragged forward by a few thick steel cables.
This type of torpedo boat only has a tonnage of 100 tons, but because too many were built in the past, many are still sealed in the warehouses of major naval bases. Therefore, they were used as target ships for maritime performances in the past and were barely used as waste. .
The same is true this time. This torpedo boat is the target ship.
Arriving at the relatively calm test site, the torpedo boat was unhooked from the steel cable and parked in one place.
The small frigate stopped after sailing two nautical miles away, waiting for the next order from the test command.
At this time, several plastic barrels installed under the deck of the torpedo boat had been activated.
It looks like the gray plastic bucket is filled with nanobots.
This plastic bucket looks inconspicuous, but it is a high-tech product combined with nano-robots.
After the AI intelligence detects damage to the torpedo boat, the plastic bucket will release nanorobots to repair the torpedo boat.
Of course, this is just a test now.
This kind of plastic bucket may not be really suitable for the release of nanorobots.
In short, now everyone just wants to see if the nanorobots can really repair the damaged torpedo boats.
Whether it is a horse or a mule, you will know if you pull it out and run around.
Soon, the order from the test command was issued.
The 57mm naval gun of the small frigate quickly rotated and locked onto the target ship in the distance, and then fired ten armor-piercing rounds in one breath.
It can be said that it is easy for a naval gun controlled by a modern fire control system to hit a fixed target 2 nautical miles away.
These ten armor-piercing shells hit various parts of the torpedo boat, and one even hit the underwater part of the torpedo boat.
Suddenly, the turbulent seawater poured into the torpedo boat along the holes made by the armor-piercing projectiles.
But at this moment, those nano-robots had been activated, and balls of black liquid were sprayed out, and then blocked the holes. Then the nano-robots multiplied rapidly. In less than a second, Just plug up those holes.
Then the small frigate approached the target ship, and more than a dozen materials experts immediately went down to the target ship to conduct performance tests on the filled holes.
After a few hours of testing, a test report with clear data was released.
After seeing this test report, the military representative turned over the first few pages with experience and looked directly at the comprehensive evaluation at the end of the report.
No way, he couldn't understand the previous data, but he could understand the final comprehensive performance evaluation.
"The overall performance of the hull after filling is 40% stronger than before?"
The military representative was dumbfounded: "This means that if these nanorobots are used to build a warship, it will be stronger than current ship steel?"
In response to the military representatives' questions, the materials experts nodded, but also said that this was unrealistic.
They didn't know how much this kind of nanorobot cost, but it would definitely be much more expensive than marine steel.
This will cause the cost of the battleship to be much higher than the budget.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyue was unaware of these discussions.
If he knew, he would chuckle.
Now the cost of building this kind of mechanical repair nanorobot is actually not high, because it itself can be copied!
This is much lower than the cost of marine steel.
The real trouble with using such nanorobots to build warships is that there are not enough carbon particles.
Such carbon particles, which are as small as just a few carbon atoms, are currently only produced in nuclear fusion reactors.
This results in a low yield of carbon particles.
Even if all the carbon particles were used to replicate nanorobots, the annual output would only be enough to create a nanowarship with a tonnage of 5,000 tons.
And building such a nano-warship is of little significance from a military perspective.
Because even if it is stronger than an ordinary warship, it will still cause damage when hit by missiles and other weapons.
This cannot be escaped.
Therefore, in terms of the current cost of nanorobots, the cost of using them to build warships or something like that is too high.
However, in fact, Fang Xiaoyue is already conducting experiments in this area.
Building warships or something like that, even for experiments, consumes too many nanobots.
But it is still possible to make nano-armor, nano-robots, etc.
The nanorobots mentioned here refer to nanorobots composed of nanorobots.
If the experiment is feasible, then all existing robot production lines will be eliminated.
Because robots built with nanorobots can be adjusted in size or purpose at will, unlike robots coming off the robot production line, they can be as big as they are and used for what they are used for, and it is difficult to transform them.
Of course, in addition to this, he is also planning to build a large number of nuclear fusion reactors near gas stars to extract carbon particles.
However, carbon particles are only the final product of nuclear fusion reactors, and the huge energy generated by nuclear fusion reactors will also be wasted.
After all, even if many robot factories are built around the gas star, it will not consume much energy.
So his attention turned to antimatter.
Antimatter, many people know what it is.
To put it bluntly, it is the anti-form of matter.
For example, positrons and negative protons are both antimatter.
When they meet positive matter, they will annihilate each other and completely lose their mass, thus releasing extremely powerful energy.
This energy is much greater than nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.
In fact, humans have far more contact with antimatter than imagined.
For example, a small amount of antimatter arrives at the parent star every day in the form of cosmic rays or high-energy particles. When they enter the atmosphere, they can reach a density of 1-100 per square meter.
Of course, this density is still very small compared to the entire planet.
Even the bananas we often eat release a positron every 75 minutes.
This phenomenon occurs because bananas contain small amounts of potassium-40.
Potassium-40 is a natural isotope of potassium that releases positrons during decay.
Humans in this world also began to study antimatter more than thirty years ago.
According to scientists, the place with the highest density of antimatter in the universe should be around black holes.
When a large number of cosmic rays and high-energy particles hit a black hole, they will produce a large amount of matter and antimatter near the event horizon. Due to the influence of strong gravity, matter will be sucked into the black hole, while antimatter will gather near the event horizon. , forming an antimatter cloud.
Of course, since no one has ever been able to sail to a black hole, this is just a hypothesis for now.
