The ocean has always been attractive to human beings. Since ancient times, mankind has never stopped exploring the ocean, but little is known about it. For example, the Mariana Trench, the deepest place on earth, has never been set foot there because humans can't dive into the deep sea. So some people think it would be nice if human beings could breathe freely on the seabed like marine life. With the progress and development of science and technology, scientists have made this idea a reality.
20 16 the science and technology Committee of the advanced research fund launched a project called? Liquid breathing? In the new project, scientists will develop a set of special equipment, which can be used to help astronauts and pilots without being affected by high pressure and producing symptoms such as difficulty breathing. At the same time, it can also help divers to better explore the underwater world without worrying about losing their lives due to lack of oxygen.
According to the observation data of scientists, the distance that humans can dive at present is about 70 meters below the water surface, and then they will appear? Decompression disease? However, where are the scientists? Liquid breathing? In the project experiment, through a magical capsule device, the animals in the experiment can breathe freely for half an hour below 500 meters, and there will be no production at all? Decompression disease? .
20 17 this magical technology was officially announced and named? Liquid medium breathing project? Simply put, it is to use oxygen-enriched liquid instead of breathing air. Not only in the field of aerospace and deep diving, this technology plays a huge role. At the same time, scientists also said that in the medical field, premature infants can not breathe spontaneously and other problems can also be passed. Liquid medium breathing project? Deal with and solve effectively. If it goes well, this new technology that can change the way humans embrace the ocean will come out around 2020. At that time, diving into the deep sea will no longer be a dream.
So, how did scientists find that oxygen-enriched liquid can replace air? In fact, as early as the beginning of the 20th century, scientists discovered through experiments that some animals such as hamsters can breathe freely in liquid (hyperbaric oxygen combined with salt solution), but it can't last too long, otherwise it will destroy the active substances on the surface of alveoli, leading to breathing difficulties.
After research, scientists believe that this may be caused by the imperfect hyperbaric oxygen salt solution. Therefore, through research, scientists have successfully discovered a new substance, perfluorocarbon. Through experiments, scientists were surprised to find that the experimental mice were still very healthy after being put into perfluorocarbon solution for 20 hours. So after years of research, what about total liquid breathing technology? It really took shape and succeeded. Next, scientists will do experiments on apes. If all goes well, mankind will soon be able to use this new technology!
