Lu Zhou looked at Xu Wenhao excitedly leaving the office. He smiled and shook his head. He then picked up the analysis report on the table.
The results of the analysis were quite interesting.
The first was the liquid food sample.
Even though Lu Zhou didn't do any research on biology, he still knew a little bit of basic knowledge. Moreover, when Researcher Xu wrote the abstract, it was written in a relatively simple language, so he could understand it.
According to the composition analysis results, this liquid food contained almost all the nutrients needed by the human body. It also contained a special active substance that could improve the activity of the human intestinal flora and the absorption function of the intestinal tract. It could maximize the absorption of all nutrients and reduce the excretion of metabolites.
In other words, if this thing replaced three meals a day, one might not poop once in three days, but they would urinate more frequently.
For astronauts, excretion was a top priority. This thing was worthy of the title "artifact".
Especially the active substance that promoted digestion and absorption. In addition to being used in aerospace food, it could also be made into things like digestive tablets or as a health care product to promote digestion.
As for the toxicological test of this active substance, clinical experiments on mice did not show any obvious toxicity. As for experiments on humans, Xu Wenhao hadn't done it yet, but Lu Zhou speculated that there shouldn't be any problems.
After all, considering the level of civilization in the future, the clinical trials and pharmacological tests required for a drug component from research and development to marketing would only be more complicated than it was now.
Worrying about "food safety" was purely unnecessary.
After reading the report on liquid food, Lu Zhou turned the page of the report in his hand and continued to read the report on Future Coke.
This part of the report was a little longer, about a dozen pages long.
In addition to testing the ingredients themselves, Xu Wenhao also conducted clinical trials on several interesting substances contained in it on mice.
It was worth mentioning that, as Lu Zhou had guessed, this Future Coke did have the effect of enhancing athletic ability, and the effect was not just a little bit.
However, there was one thing that was a little different from what he had expected. There was not a large amount of taurine in it, but a special amino acid substance instead.
The amino acid was chemically stable and insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol. It belonged to a special non-protein amino acid that existed in a free state after being ingested into the human body and did not participate in the synthesis of biological proteins.
This amino acid has a special R group, which makes it easier to bind to insulin receptors, promote cell uptake and utilization of glucose, and accelerate glycolysis.
In addition, the amino acid could also accelerate the secretion of various glands in the human body, increasing the human body's metabolic level and the excitability of nerve cells for a certain period of time.
Most importantly, ingesting this type of amino acid would not produce any toxic side effects!
As for how Lu Zhou knew …
Nonsense, he didn't even know how many times he had drunk it.
"This thing is simply a stimulant … and the kind with no side effects."
Lu Zhou put down the report in his hand and couldn't help but exclaim.
He was only curious about one thing, and that was whether the Energy Potion that the system rewarded him with contained the same ingredients.
Unfortunately, these things were all drunk by him while he was burning his liver. If he wanted to test it, he would have to wait until later.
After reading the two composition analysis reports, Lu Zhou thought for a bit and opened his laptop. After thinking for a bit, he opened a document and wrote two drafts of the patent documents.
Even though he didn't plan on selling cola, the interesting substances found in the two composition analysis reports had other uses.
Regardless of whether or not they would be used in the future, Lu Zhou planned on registering these two things as patents.
The two patent drafts didn't take up too much of his time. This kind of thing didn't require him to write too much detail. Star Sky Technology had a professional patent management team that could take care of the trivial and detailed work.
Considering how the patent office was taking care of Star Sky Technology, many of the approval procedures could be simplified. It wouldn't take too much time to get the patent.
After finishing all of this, Lu Zhou leaned back in his office chair and stretched. He was about to put the two reports aside when a pop-up window suddenly popped up on the lower right corner of his screen.
[Master, you have mail. ()】
"I got it."
Lu Zhou sat up from his office chair and clicked on the link sent by Xiao Ai. He quickly entered his work email.
The email was from Yang Xu.
Lu Zhou didn't even have to think about it to know that the material analysis of that piece of cloth was done.
After downloading the pdf electronic report, Lu Zhou opened it and read the contents of the report line by line. He looked more and more interested.
Especially when he skimmed through the abstract and saw the transmission electron microscope image in the report, he had a look of disbelief on his face.
"… Unbelievable."
He saw that with nanoscale photography accuracy, threads that were countless times thinner than hair were intricately intertwined, forming a solid net-like structure.
The material of the threads was none other than carbon nanotubes with six-grid patterns on the surface and special surface groups!
No wonder this thing was so tough and had such extraordinary thermal conductivity. It was basically "kneaded" by carbon nanotube fibers!
Also, according to the mechanical performance tests such as compression and tensile resistance, the final data on the paper was quite perfect.
Even though Lu Zhou hadn't tested it with a weapon, according to the data on the paper, even an assault rifle would find it difficult to penetrate the carbon nanofiber woven material with a thickness of more than 2.2 mm.
If a layer of ceramic fragments was added to the back of the fabric to disperse the impact of the bullet, it would be an invulnerable bulletproof vest.
Lu Zhou couldn't help but feel emotional.
"Using this material to make clothes, this is such a waste."
The SG-1 superconducting material used in the Pangu reactor was a similar material to carbon nanotubes. However, it could only be used in a controllable fusion device or a superconducting magnet in a collider. Ordinary medical equipment might not even be able to afford it.
However, someone was using carbon nanotube fibers that were thinner than SG-1 material to make clothes. This level of luxury was unimaginable to Lu Zhou.
If this material was used in the shipping and industrial fields, it would be like high-performance cables. If it was used in the military field, it could be made into bulletproof vests, bulletproof liners for tank armor, or even fighter jets. If it was used in the aerospace field, it would be even more useful. Lu Zhou couldn't even count how many times it would be used …
Of course, it was also possible that in the future, or in the aliens that were dozens of light-years away, this material would become very cheap.
Just like how aluminum was as expensive as gold a hundred or two years ago, aluminum was so cheap that it could even be used to make cans.
But at least for now, it was hard for Lu Zhou to imagine such a waste.
In short, this material was a treasure.
He had indeed underestimated that piece of clothing when he had first drawn it!
Lu Zhou immediately had an idea. He stood up from his office chair.
The Lunar Orbit Space Station project was about to be launched.
If this material could be used on the Lunar Orbit Space Station, it would undoubtedly be a huge help to the entire project!
