Chapter 607: Nanorobots Based on Biological Cells
After all, nanorobots are meant to enter the human body to perform tasks, so the choice of materials is very particular.
The materials currently used in nanorobots are those that have no side effects on the human body.
"Teacher Peng, if we still keep the current materials, can nanorobots exist in the human body for a long time without any side effects?"
"Without considering other issues, just from the perspective of materials, it is indeed unlikely to produce other side effects. However, because many of these materials are degradable, it is difficult for them to exist in the human body for a long time."
Because when they are designed, nanorobots will only perform one or several tasks. When the task cycle ends, the life of the nanorobot also comes to an end.
"I see. If we want the nanorobots to be able to exist in the human body for a long time , we need to replace them with materials with better performance."
"Yes. Mr. Xu, the second question is about the energy of the nanorobots. To achieve the effect you requested, we also need to allow the nanorobots to continuously obtain energy. Our current nanorobots have already stored energy before the patients take them."
"So, we need to allow nanorobots to obtain energy from the human body so that they can continue to exist in the human body?"
"That's right. Although nanorobots use only micro-nano motors, they still consume energy. The energy they carry will be exhausted within a few days to more than ten days. How to make nanorobots obtain energy from the human body is also a problem that needs to be solved."
Peng Jun discussed with Xu You several technical issues that needed to be addressed by nanorobots, and Xu You also communicated with Peng Jun very seriously.
What made Xu You feel appreciative was that although Peng Jun was not able to solve these problems yet, he gave Xu You some possible directions for solving these problems based on his own experience, so that Xu You would not be at a loss as to where to start.
"Thank you, Mr. Peng, for clearing up my doubts. I won't bother you any more."
"You're welcome, Mr. Xu. You can always come to me if you have any questions."
Peng Jun naturally answered all of Xu You's questions, even though Peng Jun still didn't know what Xu You was going to do.
After returning to his office, Xu You closed his eyes, organized the information he got from Peng Jun, and began to think deeply.
According to Peng Jun’s suggestion, if you want to create nanorobots that can exist in the human body for a long time, it is best to use natural biological materials.
Natural biomaterials refer to biomaterials produced under natural conditions.
These mainly include natural fibers, biological tissues, structural proteins, and biominerals.
These materials have good biocompatibility and will not cause any impact on the organism even if they exist in the body for a long time.
However, Xu You always felt that there should be a better direction.
"Um?"
At this time, Xu You suddenly had another idea.
“Is it possible to make a nanorobot based on biological cells?”
Even Peng Jun did not mention such an idea just now.
Compared with natural biomaterials, biological cells have higher biocompatibility and can easily obtain continuous energy from the body, allowing them to exist in the body for a long time.
However, no one has ever gone in a similar direction, so Xu You can only explore on an unknown path.
Fortunately, Xu You has a powerful assistant, the quantum computer.
"With this information, it should be enough for a quantum computer to learn." Xu You thought.
Xu You had tried to use quantum computers to help design nanorobots before, but even Xu You himself didn’t know enough about nanorobots, so naturally he couldn’t let the quantum computer complete the learning process.
After obtaining the knowledge taught by Peng Jun himself, Xu You has the confidence to let quantum computers take on more important responsibilities.
Xu You came to the Suanjing Quantum Laboratory and established a brain-computer connection with the Suanjing quantum computer.
In the state of brain-computer connection, Xu You can directly transfer the knowledge he has mastered to the quantum computer without any translation process.
And the transmission of this information is not just one-way. Xu You can also get a reply from the artificial intelligence of mathematics.
"You have fully understood it, right? Then I'll leave the calculations and modeling to you."
The power of artificial intelligence lies in the fact that as long as it is given enough information and a clear problem, it can automatically start looking for solutions to the problem.
In terms of learning speed and problem-solving ability, artificial intelligence is far superior to humans, but it does not yet have a high degree of freedom to decide the direction of its own research.
Xu You believes that artificial intelligence that is subject to certain restrictions is safer.
If the degree of freedom of artificial intelligence is too high, then humans will really be threatened by artificial intelligence.
…
"Teacher, Wenkun said that uncle's leg has recovered very well. Can we take some time to go over and take a look?"
"Okay, then let's go to the hospital after lunch." Xu You agreed.
Although the recent projects have not been fully completed, they have all entered the right track and are expected to produce results in the near future.
Xu You is not only concerned about Luo Yong's recovery, but also wants to know whether this treatment plan for regenerating severed limbs can achieve the desired effect.
After all, this is a revolutionary application in the field of stem cells. Once its feasibility is proven, tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of people may be able to enjoy the benefits of this project in the future.
After lunch, Xu You and Lin Shi went to the hospital together.
Luo Wenkun was already in the hospital. When he saw Xu You and Lin Shi, his face was filled with joy.
"You guys are here. Look, my dad's legs have grown well. The doctor said that after some time of adaptation, he will be able to walk again."
As he spoke, Luo Yong stretched out his legs and showed them to Xu You and Lin Shi.
Looking at Luo Yong's new leg, Xu You and Lin Shi were also happy for Luo Yong from the bottom of their hearts.
The newly grown leg looks very tender, and is obviously a different color from the other leg, exuding a youthful vibe.
Because it has not yet fully developed, this leg is shorter and , and there is much less leg hair.
"Uncle, how do you feel now?"
"I feel great. The itching has subsided a lot and my fever has gone away. This new leg feels completely different from the prosthesis. It's obviously another leg growing on my body."
