The reason why Huang Xiuyuan is so concerned about the 3067 Institute is not because the project has improved human combat effectiveness.

Many people have not noticed the fundamental significance of this project.

Whether it is the nanoskeleton or the nanoskeleton layer, they are all projects proposed by Huang Xiuyuan. Although he did not personally participate in the specific research, he still grasps the general direction.

The deep meaning of this project lies in space.

Specifically, it is to allow humans to maintain a long-term life in a weightless environment.

Why can't humans live in outer space for a long time? The core limiting factor is the low gravity environment.

The living environment of human beings is the ground of the Blue Star, and the body is also in line with the Blue Star environment.

The low gravity environment in outer space can cause space syndrome, including osteoporosis, vascular atherosclerosis, muscle degeneration, etc.

These space diseases will generally appear gradually after 8 to 12 months of space life, which may cause fatal damage in serious cases.

Even if centrifuge exercise and special diet regulation are used, the duration of life in space should not exceed the limit of 15 months.

Although astronauts can gradually recover their health through scientific exercise and diet after returning to Blue Star, once they live in space, they exceed the maximum amount and irreversible damage may occur.

Therefore, the astronaut space work period set by the China Space Administration is divided into a maximum of 9 months for professional astronauts and a maximum of 6 months for non-professional astronauts.

For example, Cheng Cunwu, who had previously gone up to the moon, could only work in outer space for up to 6 months at a time, and after returning to Blue Star, the rest adjustment time must not be less than 6 months.

In the early stages of exploring the universe, most of the astronauts were professional or semi-professional.

However, in the middle and late stages, it is necessary to consider the matter of ordinary people going to outer space. If the current astronaut training model is still in the current model, the efficiency will be really too low.

Therefore, the study of human survival in space emerged.

Compared with clueless artificial gravity technology, or centrifugal gravity-machine technology with super-engineered engineering, or gene evolution technology, Huang Xiuyuan attaches more importance to another technology, hydraulic gravity-machine technology.

This is the only space survival technology that he has thought about after thinking about it and thinks it is currently the only space survival technology that can be realized.

He plans to use hydraulic pressure to replace gravity and simulate the effect of the Blue Star gravity on the human body.

So how to implement this technical solution?

First of all, water is incompressible to a certain extent. If the hydraulic pressure is to be enhanced, a large amount of water or other liquid must be needed.

In this way, another problem is that liquid acts on the skin. If the skin is immersed in a liquid environment for a long time, liquid molecules will surely penetrate into the cells, causing the surface cells to die quickly.

Huang Xiuyuan's idea is very simple. Since liquid molecules will penetrate the skin cells of the body, he will cover the skin with a layer of "artificial skin" to separate the epidermis and hydraulic fluid.

Artificial skin technology is not difficult for the current Suiren system. Using nanomaterials can create elastic artificial skin with a waterproof layer.

With artificial skin, it does not mean that hydraulic gravity technology can be put into use.

Because in Huang Xiuyuan's conception, the initial use of hydraulic chambers, pneumatic respiratory system, and artificial skin can ensure that astronauts maintain their health by resting in the hydraulic chamber in space.

However, this method has a inherent limitation, that is, the hydraulic chamber is fixed and cannot ensure that the astronauts are in a hydraulic state while working.

The upgraded version of hydraulic chamber technology is hydraulic armor.

The hydraulic chamber was improved into a set of exoskeleton armor, and the astronauts were soaked in it.

Hydraulic exoskeleton armor technology, to ensure that humans can control it easily, must be as small as possible, and it is best to be close to the body. The optimal ratio of the exoskeleton armor size should be maintained at around 1:1.2.

That is, an ordinary person with a height of 1.8 meters, his exoskeleton armor height should not be higher than 2.16 meters.

Hydraulic exoskeleton armor uses nuclear batteries, which can maintain internal hydraulic and air pressure environment for a long time.

Since we need to keep wearing exoskeleton armor for a long time, the human body's endoskeleton, endosoleum, etc. must be strengthened simultaneously.

Don’t think that exoskeletons have no burden on the human body, especially hydraulic exoskeletons. The weight and pressure of their own are a necessary burden.

Only when the endoskeleton and exoskeleton are strengthened simultaneously can humans be promoted for a long-term life in outer space.

Now hydraulic chamber technology has entered the human experiment stage, but hydraulic exoskeleton technology has not yet mature products.

The main purpose is to miniaturize the gravitational hydraulic pressure, which requires relatively large equipment, and the control of hydraulic pressure must also be as refined as possible.

This system is to be used on the human body. If it is casual, it is a joke about the life of the astronaut.

Fang Hua took Huang Xiuyuan to watch the implantation experiment of the nanoendocorticoid layer.

The mouse fixed on the operating table has been anesthetized by general anesthesia. Nanowires thinner than hair directly penetrated the mouse's epidermis, as if no wound was left.

This is the ultra-minimal invasive technology brought by nanowires. Now there are even nanosyringes that can directly pierce the skin, organ assembly, bones, reach the lesion area, and then inject drug molecules into the lesion.

With the assistance of the computer system, several researchers seemed to embroider the skin of a mouse. Special nanowires were quickly formed in the dermis layer under the needle thread of the robotic arm.

Several robotic arms were equipped with infrared lasers, which were shooting the cortex of the mouse in a daze.

Through infrared light in vivo welding, these nanostructures are completely combined and become a whole.

The nanocortical layer is also integrated with the nanoskeleton. After being connected to each other, it can ensure part of the design effect of this system.

In fact, the nanoskeletons and nanocortical layers at this time are only semi-finished products, and many of the imagined functions have not been completed yet.

Huang Xiuyuan looked at the cost estimates of the 3067 Institute. The current comprehensive cost of a complete set of human nanoskeletons + nanocorts is about 270 million yuan.

This is the result calculated based on the current production of 100 sets, plus the relevant scientific research costs.

If you want to mass production on a large scale, you have to wait for the technology to become more mature. By then, based on the scale of producing more than 100,000 sets, the cost can be reduced to about 2 million yuan per set.

He had expected the cost of the early laboratory, which was very normal.

After all, if you invest tens of billions of Chinese yuan, you will only produce 100 sets of test products. Once the scientific research costs are spread equally, one set will definitely cost several hundred million.

"Ahua, you need to communicate more with the 3058 Institute. The hydraulic chambers on their side have begun to enter the human experiment stage."

Fang Hua nodded: "I understand."

At this time, the implantation surgery on the teenage mouse has been initially completed.

The endoskeleton and the endocorres has been combined together, and in this case, the overall strength of the mouse's body has been increased by several levels.

If a mouse is hit hard with a stick, the cortex and exoskeleton in its body will instantly form a non-Newtonian structure, resulting in the weakening of the attack.
