In the past, science fiction was always devoted to discovering a special material, sometimes finding a special element on the periodic table, adding a lot of magical properties, or using a special fantasy technology, such as light speed thrusters, plasma orbits Cannons and holographic objects teleported over long distances, stunned us.
But.
------------------------------------------ Gorgeous dividing line
if Tomoko is locked What about our quest to the subatomic level?
The only thing we can use and manipulate is the molecular chemical bond. What can molecular chemical bonds do? How far can we advance technology without the cosmic truth of the four forces in one? Don't be superstitious that there will be miracles in the back of the periodic table. The reason why there are few elements with particularly large atomic weights is that their lifespans are too short. Let's take a closer look at the power of permutations and combinations.
Officially began to see the real technological power that may appear in the next hundred years in the film.
In the spaceship that Smith was on, we saw a lot of support skeletons similar to animal bones. The spaceship has a rough metal outer shell, but has an inner skeleton similar to animal bones. After the crash, we saw a large number of broken skeletons, all of which were fibrous sections. I have to say, this is most likely a near-future ship skeleton model.
Our bones, including those of fellow vertebrate birds, are more load-bearing and more resistant to bending than a single metal of the same weight. Because there are a lot of fibrous tissue components in bones, protein tissue and minerals are mixed together, which has sufficient hardness, sufficient bending strength, and toughness. Calcium, phosphorus, carbon, oxygen and other main elements combine to create material properties that are completely different from their original properties.
The structure of this spaceship is very reasonable, and there is no structure beyond the current scientific and technological common sense. Disc-shaped main compartment, surrounded by seats and aisles, and a transparent display in the cab (note that before Smith Jr. went to the officer's office to accept a non-promoted Ranger's office, the display was a very common opaque display.) Map display It is a needle-like dense arrangement of entities showing that the bulkheads use a lot of soft, flexible and lightweight fabrics, and the hatches are closed with soft films. What I vaguely see is that the crew employs a number of biologists, physicists, Experts in materials science have given a very reasonable sci-fi condition for an interstellar spacecraft. The leather body backpack and the bulkhead are all soft storage compartments. I have to applaud the tech advisors for this film, this is the spaceship of the near future. The previous two designs, or the cabins full of gleaming instruments, metal doors and glass windows everywhere, or clean and simple as if they were washed, do not meet the heights that technology can achieve in the past 300 years. The former is the height of technology in the past, the latter is the height of mastering deeper technology, and we are currently moving towards the type of cabin in this film.
The crashed spacecraft in the film, especially the tail, gives a panoramic view, you can see that except for the hard outer shell, the rest of the interior is basically biomimetic materials, soft fabrics, biofilm-like membranes, and details full of fibrous structures. . All of them indicate the direction of material mechanics towards bionics.
Why do bionic materials such as dermal fibers and porous structures have such great magic power? In fact, to put it bluntly, the precision of biological factories is much higher than our current manufacturing industry. principle, but the approach has already been explored. For operations at the atomic and subatomic levels that are more refined than biological factories, we don’t even know exactly where the gates are, because quantum phenomena are not yet involved at the molecular level. There is no way to perform manufacturing-like operations at the sub-atomic level.
Finally, let’s discuss two simple questions: Is it really unnecessary for monsters that hunt humans to have visual functions in all wavelengths of electromagnetic waves? It's really inconvenient too. At the stage when humans have all kinds of powerful bionic weapons, is it difficult to get a rifle with far-infrared detection function? At the stage of technology that can generate wormholes by itself, can't detect a large piece of meteorite?
To sum up, the plot of this film is qualified, the emotional sideline is very exciting, and there are small technological bugs, but it is harmless. The most powerful is the various details. Thanks to the hard work of the technology consultants, it also shows a development path for our future technology. At least we have a bright future before we achieve full control operation at the subatomic level- ---The future of material bionics.
