生物工程蜘蛛絲產量創下歷史新高
Bio-engineered spider silk production hits record levels
在2026年4月，生物技術領域達成了一項重大里程碑，Kraig Biocraft Laboratories在單月內生產了超過1.3公噸的生物工程蜘蛛絲。
In April 2026, the field of biotechnology achieved a major milestone as Kraig Biocraft Laboratories produced over 1.3 metric tons of bio-engineered spider silk in a single month.
與其他使用微生物發酵的公司不同，該團隊利用基因工程改造的蠶來自然地生產纖維，並利用現有的養蠶基礎設施。
Unlike other companies using microbial fermentation, this team uses genetically engineered silkworms to produce fiber naturally, utilizing existing silk-farming infrastructure.
蜘蛛絲以其比鋼鐵更強韌、高度具備彈性且生物相容性高等特性而聞名。
Spider silk is famous for being stronger than steel, highly elastic, and biocompatible.
從歷史上來看，大量生產蜘蛛絲是不可能的，因為蜘蛛具有領地意識且會相互殘殺。
Historically, mass-producing it was impossible because spiders are territorial and cannibalistic.
它在高效能紡織品、國防應用（如防彈裝備），以及醫療領域（如手術縫線和組織工程）中具有巨大的潛力。
It has massive potential in high-performance textiles, defense applications like ballistic gear, and medical fields for surgical sutures and tissue engineering.
隨著製造成本下降，這種生物基纖維正從利基研究走向廣泛的商業用途。
As manufacturing costs drop, this bio-based fiber is moving from niche research toward widespread commercial use.
