Galactic Garbage Station

Chapter 216: Spider Silk Applications

When he drove home from downtown, Su Jing called to order the best fitness equipment.

When he saw the martial arts gym fitness equipment, Su Zheng had some heartbeat, such exercises as running, standing up and pushing up. Although he could also exercise his body, if he had fitness equipment to cooperate, it would definitely work better. In particular, you can practice boxing legs with sandbags.

Of course, for the time being, it was just an order. It was not delivered so quickly. After all, the building is not renovated yet and there is no place for it to be delivered. Once built, it will be placed on the second floor. Anyway, the collection will not occupy the entire first floor, and a small gym is more than enough.

In the early morning, as always, Su Jin washed his clothes, ran over and had breakfast before entering the overtime garbage dump. First look at the seeds cultivated, the tomatoes, strawberries and ginseng seeds planted in the spiritual stone slag have all germinated, and have grown into seedlings. The tomatoes and strawberry seeds planted in ordinary soil have rotted. As expected by Su Xuan, these tomato strawberries from the mortal cultivation of immortals can only survive in the spiritual stone slag. Ginseng seeded in ordinary soil is not rotten, but has not yet sprouted.

In addition, plants such as spiritual grass, willow tree, bamboo, golden tea flower, seven-leaf ginseng (in order to distinguish from ordinary ginseng, Su Qian will have seven pieces of double-leaf ginseng from the perfect world, named seven-leaf ginseng), under the cultivation of spiritual stone slag, grow fast and beautiful. Cannibal vines blossom more flowers every day, allowing Su Qian to cheat several more flowers every day.

“This spirit stone slag is really good for planting. ”

Su Zheng will then sow several precious plant seeds prepared in the morning, also in a basin of spiritual stone slag, ready to be transplanted when they germinate. The plan to rely on spiritual stone slag for the cultivation of precious plants to make money is officially under way.

The silkworm in the box, like a normal silkworm, only eats and sleeps and eats. The day is bigger than the day, but the distance to spitting silk should not be so fast, some more time.

“Well, where's the spider? ”

Su Zheng glanced at the other box, but saw that the inside was full of spider webs. He could only obscure and see a giant spider corpse that was half broken. At first glance, 11 small spiders were not visible. However, he found that 11 spirits were hidden inside and each one was as big as his fist. Spiders have the same kind of eating nature, but the giant spiders haven't finished eating, there's more food; the spirits have been tamed by Su Xin, and the spiders get along quite harmoniously, so these eleven have not eaten together.

Su Zheng took a closer look. The spider web that was later added to the box was obviously much thinner. It should have been spit from the little spider. The web that the giant spider initially spit on was invisible and probably eaten by the little spider.

“I forgot to study it before. This spider web is so powerful, I wonder if it will be useful? ”

Su Zheng is accustomed to picking up garbage, so he knows the logic of becoming a treasure, not to mention that this spider web does not look like waste at first glance. When he turned his head, the first thing he thought about was, when the eleven spiders had grown up, they were netted, they were inside the overtime garbage station, they were sealed up, and they were accidentally slipped out by little animals.

“Find out what spiderweb can do. ”

Su Zheng took out his cell phone and searched the internet. He didn't know. After searching, he was shocked. Turns out the spider was covered in treasure. The spider is drugged and has the function of detoxification and swelling. It mainly treats the symptoms of sores, ulcers, poisonous snake worm injury, stroke mouth distortion, pediatric storm, premature atrophy and other conditions. Spider venom, which has a unique effect on the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage and epilepsy, blocks potassium and calcium ion channels in nerve cells and has a neuroprotective effect on stroke patients. Spider silk, a produced oral solution of the web, has a significant effect on neurological diseases.

Of course, none of these effects are direct and have to undergo layered medical processing, so they are not very useful for Su Qian. Spider silk, however, has some other effects that are of great interest to him.

According to the study, the physical properties of spider silk have a very obvious advantage over silk silk. In terms of mechanical strength, spider silk fiber is similar to the highest strength, such as carbon fiber and high compact fiber, but its toughness is significantly superior to that of the aforementioned fibers. As a result, spider silk fiber has broad application prospects in the areas of defence, military (bulletproof vests), architecture, etc.

According to scientist research experiments, a string of spider wire is stronger than the same thick stainless steel bars. It can withstand 5 times more weight than steel without breaking. While some spider silk is as thin as hair, don't underestimate its ability and function. Also, the spider silk is very elastic, a spider silk with a diameter of only one in 10,000 millimeters that can be stretched more than twice as long to break.

However, natural spider silk originates mainly from the mesh and yields are very low, and spiders have the same personality to eat together and cannot be farmed as densely as silkworms, so the yield of spider silk from natural spiders is limited. Ordinary spider silk is only about a micron. To get a pound of spider silk, you need to capture more than 600,000 spiders, so by collecting spiders to cut the spider's stomach out the silk fluid, and then spinning it manually, it's too expensive and not very feasible.

To solve this dilemma, the National Army Biochemistry Command Center in Massachusetts, USA, and Nexia Biotechnology, Quebec, Canada, spinned spider silk protein from sheep's milk into artificial genetic spider silk, also known as biosteel, by extracting the spider gene from the spider and implanting it into the goat. Artificial genetic spider silk produced in this way is 4 to 5 times stronger than steel and has silkworm-like softness and shine that can be used to make premium bulletproof vests. Biosteel has a wide range of applications and can also manufacture protective shields for combat vehicles, tanks, radar, satellites and other equipment.

“Little spider silk, so magical, or just plain spider silk, what would it be like if these spider silks from Mortal Cultivation were processed? ”

Su Zheng was a little excited. At first, the silk spit from the giant spider was thicker than ordinary spider silk, but it was only about a millimeter in diameter. However, Su Zheng used more than 200 kg of power to pull it out. It didn't mean anything at all, but the whole net just came off.

Su Zheng got a small spider web down, these spider silks were only a few millimeters thick, the spider silk was divided into transverse and longitudinal threads, the transverse threads were spiral threads, they were sticky, they were responsible for sticking to the prey, the longitudinal threads traversed the spiral threads, they were not sticky, but they were high in strength and acted as a support for the spider web.

Su Zheng took a transverse wire, touched it sticky, and stretched, stretched, and stretched with both hands. The spider wire was stretched and thinned constantly, meaning that it was not broken, until it was too thin to be seen, it finally broke. Another longitudinal filament was removed, which was slightly slippery to the touch, but when stretched, it was obvious that it felt resistance, put on gloves, worked hard, used more than 100 kg of force, and the hands were a little red before finally tearing apart.
