Chapter 241 Biosensors

Chen Yuan is very familiar with the opium, and he is also very familiar with the spiritual opium.

But the reason why the virtual world is addicted is that in people's hearts, we can do many things that cannot be accomplished in reality. Day after day work bottlenecks, endless life problems, and unsustainable emotional high points, each of which makes us doubt the meaning of our own existence.

In virtual stories, these are nothing. There is no need to squeeze into the car to work, no need to eat, no matter who you want to love, anyway, if you miss it, there is a next time, just a button or a program restart. It will neither make us lose anything nor hurt our vitality.

People who are addicted to games have some escape from reality. Confused young people can find their favorite characters in it. Greasy middle-aged uncles can fill their hormonal blood tanks with game coins. Older people can find their youthful and glorious appearance. At that time, their legs and feet are strong and their bodies are flexible...

Chen Yuan's thoughts were flowing constantly. He looked at Nuwa beside him, "Is the existence of spiritual opium necessarily bad?"

"I don't know if you have ever seen the number one player. In the film, the Federation in 2045 is the most reasonable real world to escape. The Great Depression and the food crisis, everyone's only desire is to survive. The hero lives in a slum in the container building in reality. His parents failed to withstand the famine. He could only live with his aunt. She also gave him a irritable muscular scumbag who waved his fists at him at any time and used all the house money to upgrade the game equipment.

In the oasis, he is one of the six most famous Easter Egg Hunters, and a big guy friend. They fought side by side, overcome one difficulty, achieved the enviable record and gold coins of millions of people, and were supported by countless fans.

In the Oasis World, Edge is a mecha maniac. He can repair the equipment that is damaged to the point of being too damaged in ten minutes. With his super high skills and talent, he resurrected the steel giant, and the various modified tanks in the garage were overwhelmed. But in reality, he was just a thin black woman."

Chen Yuan paused, "As for the heroine Samantha in the game, she is a beautiful and lively girl. She is smart and sexy, and exudes charming charm from the inside out. However, in reality, her father owes usury because of being addicted to games, and was eventually pulled by the game training company to do tasks to pay off his debts, and unfortunately died during this period. Her right eye also has a big brown birthmark, and she is very unconfident about her appearance. The Xiu, who is galloping around and powerful, is just an 11-year-old child..."

"Do you think their escape from reality is correct?" Nuwa looked at him with interest.

"It's not like this that everyone seems to have reasons to escape, but not everyone is a loser who lacks courage. After all, having friends is not a failure." Halliday, the designer and creator of the "Oasis", the big shot behind the movie, and Spielberg, the real director, are all patients with severe game addiction, and sometimes they can't even tell the difference between virtual and reality.

"You only know what I let you know, you only know what I want you to know, and that's not me." To borrow a sentence from the principal in Harry Potter: Yes, this happened in your mind, but that doesn't mean it's not true.

Despite this, the real world is the only reality. As Halliday said: "Even if reality scares me and makes me suffer, I can only have a good meal in reality." Because, reality                                                                                                          

Nuwa dragged her hands dignifiedly and walked forward a few steps. "You also know that the entire Oasis Kingdom is virtual, but it is constantly reminding its players to interact more with people in reality, establish relationships with them, and feel the brightness of the breeze and the moon. Looking back at the clues to finding the three keys, each of them is repeating this core idea."

The key to the first level is "look back". Even if you are an extremely brave enemy of thousands of people and have tried your best after experiencing the storm, you still cannot pass the gate of the Vajra. You have never lacked courage to move forward in your life. What is valuable is that you look back from time to time and look at the path you have walked, and you may have different surprises.

The meaning of the second level is more obvious. To be precise, it is a confession to the real world, and it is the confession of the master Halliday to the woman he loves most in reality. He has been avoiding others and entering his heart, escaping intimate relationships, not daring to kiss his girlfriend, escalating the relationship, and therefore missed her forever.

The game is a series of entanglements of rules, code instructions, and it is precisely because of this that it ensures that it runs in an orderly manner. However, the godfather of the real world, Hari Di, is the most disgusting rule, so if you want to get the jade key, you cannot think according to the rules and regulations in reality. This is why the 101 company's agent training has been successfully completed and cannot find clues. The male protagonist Woz obtained a coin reward from the director of the archives by understanding a detail in Hari Di's life and finally knew the door to victory.

However, many netizens believe that it is not important to deliberately emphasize reality and virtuality.

But Nuwa thinks that's not the case. Reality is reality, and virtuality is virtuality. If you can't even tell the difference, it would be too terrible.

"For you." Nuwa took out a round badge instrument from behind.

"What's this?"

"Biosensor. Made of spider silk."

The strong toughness of spider silk is a well-known feature, but Chen Yuan is not sure that it can also be used to make biosensors.

This is a sensor developed using the light-guiding properties of spider silk to measure indicators of human blood sugar and other biochemical analytes.

Generally speaking, glucose sensors are crucial for diabetic patients, but these devices are often invasive and not cost-effective. In contrast, spider silk has attracted much attention for its excellent photomechanical properties.

To make sugar sensors, the biosensor collects the razione spider silk and wraps the spider silk with a diameter of only 10 microns with a photocuring resin, and then cures it to form a smooth protective surface. Based on the above materials, ancient humans created an optical fiber structure with a diameter of 100 microns, with the spider silk as the core and the resin as the cladding. Then, they added biocompatible gold nanolayers to enhance the sensing ability of the optical fiber.

This process forms a linear structure at both ends. To use optical fibers for measurement, one end is immersed in a liquid sample and the other end is connected to a light source and spectrometer. This enables the refractive index of the solution and uses it to determine the type of sugar and its concentration.

Research has shown that spider silk can be used to determine the concentration of fructose, sucrose and glucose based on the change in the refractive index of the solution. Spider silk is very suitable for this application because it not only transmits light like an optical fiber, but is also very strong and elastic.

Sugar sensors that are placed on Earth with spider silk as raw material will be expected to be used in therapeutic strategies in implantable medical devices and biomedical applications.
