Chapter 605: Fear of Being Dominated by a Suitcase
The technology of nanorobots sounds like science fiction, but it has been partially applied in real life.
Of course, these applications are still a long way from the ideal omnipotent "micro human doctor".
So far, the nanorobots created by humans can only perform some simple behaviors and are mostly in the laboratory research stage.
For example, various microscopic etching operations are performed on a micron-level chip.
But Xu You is obviously not satisfied with the results of this experimental stage. What Xu You hopes to see more is the realization of more powerful applications.
Xu You tried to simulate the scenario of nanorobots controlling totipotent stem cells in his brain, but did not get satisfactory results.
"No... I don't know enough about nanorobots. Moreover, according to the size of nanorobots, in order to achieve sufficient computing power, a large number of nanorobots are needed in the body."
One or a few nanorobots are simply unable to organize the massive activities of human cells.
In order to realize Xu You’s ideal scenario, it would probably require tens of thousands or even more nanorobots.
"Let's first learn about all the information we can get related to nanorobots."
At this time, Xu You suddenly thought of someone.
Professor Peng Jun from the School of Information at Jijing University.
When he was an undergraduate, it was with the guidance of Peng Jun that Xu Youcai began to get started in informatics, and gradually grew into an expert in informatics, and even achieved world-renowned achievements in the field of quantum computers.
Even though Peng Jun did not give Xu You much direct guidance, he still pointed Xu You in the right direction.
"I don't know how much Professor Peng Jun knows about nanorobot technology, but even if Peng Jun doesn't work on this, he should be able to help me find a way."
Thinking of this, Xu You decided to go find Peng Jun.
As teachers at Jijing University, Xu You’s office is not far from Peng Jun’s office.
Xu You asked Cui Ying to help confirm that Peng Jun was indeed in the office, and then he went there alone.
"Teacher Peng!"
After seeing Peng Jun, Xu You greeted Peng Jun with a smile.
After not seeing him for a few years, Peng Jun's hair had become grayer and he looked a little older.
"Academician Xu, please take a seat!"
When he met Xu You, Peng Jun's attitude was very respectful, just like the feeling of a subordinate meeting his superior.
"You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Peng. Just call me by my name."
"That won't do. You are much higher than me in terms of rank now. You can't just call me by my name like you did a few years ago."
Xu You didn't like this very unfamiliar feeling of awe, which made him feel like there was some gap between them.
However, Xu You could understand Peng Jun's feelings, so he said:
"Well, since we are both teachers at Jijing University, we can just address each other as teachers. Is that okay?"
Peng Jun thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with this.
No matter how high the level is, it is always right to be called a teacher.
"Okay, then let's do as Teacher Xu said. I wonder what Teacher Xu wants to consult about this time?"
Xu You did not exchange pleasantries with Peng Jun and got straight to the point :
"I wonder if Mr. Peng knows about the technology of nanorobots? "
When talking about nanorobots, Peng Jun's eyes lit up and he seemed full of confidence in this field.
"You've got to say it, Mr. Xu. You've found the right person this time. My team is working on a nanorobot project, and we are at the forefront of the world in related research. Unless there is another team doing related research in secret, you won't find an expert who knows more about nanorobots than I do."
Peng Jun acted as if "no one knows nanorobots better than me", which made Xu You laugh.
"That's great. Mr. Peng, could you please tell me some inside information?"
Hearing Xu You's question, Peng Jun couldn't help but look embarrassed.
But after thinking about it, Peng Jun made a decision.
"Normally, the details of this kind of project would not be disclosed easily. But if this is what Teacher Xu wants to know, I will tell you everything I know."
Xu You holds a very high status in the country's academic community. Even without applying, Xu You has the right to know all the academic information he wants to know.
After all, Xu You has been considering various scientific issues from a strategic level. Learning more cutting-edge research information will help Xu You better carry out scientific strategic planning.
As he spoke, Peng Jun told Xu You about the nanorobot project he was working on. While listening, Xu You asked questions he wanted to know.
"Regarding the preparation of nanorobots, we commonly use methods including electrodeposition technology, physical vapor deposition technology, self-curling technology, controllable assembly technology, 3D printing technology, bio-hybrid technology, etc. These technologies have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, the nano-scale motors we are using now are prepared by 3D laser printing technology..."
Peng Jun patiently explained to Xu You various related issues, including the preparation, driving methods, programming methods, applications, etc. of nanorobots.
Xu You listened carefully to Peng Jun's explanation, while his brain was thinking quickly, further organizing and expanding the knowledge.
Before I knew it, several hours had passed.
"Professor Peng, it's time to go to dinner. You still have a class tonight."
At this time, Peng Jun's assistant came in and reminded Peng Jun.
Only then did Xu You notice the passage of time and felt a little embarrassed .
"I didn't expect time to pass so quickly. Mr. Peng, please go eat first so as not to delay your evening class."
After all, this was just a personal favor that Xu You asked Peng Jun to do. It would not be good if it disturbed others too much.
"It's okay. Teacher Xu can always find me if he needs anything. If necessary, I can also give Teacher Xu all the relevant information directly."
Hearing this, Xu You's eyes suddenly lit up.
Peng Jun realized that he had fallen into his old habit of being too polite, but the words had already been spoken and there was no way to take them back.
"Since you said so, Mr. Peng, I will obey your order. I wonder if Mr. Peng's materials are in paper or electronic form, and how many are there in total?"
Thinking of the fear he felt when he was dominated by Xu You's suitcase, Peng Jun now felt a chill on his back.
"Well... there are both paper and electronic versions, and the total number is quite large. Teacher Wu, come and help me sort them out."
The assistant beside Peng Jun took a look at Peng Jun and was sure that Peng Jun wanted him to organize the information, so he had to do as he was told.
