你應該已經聽過開頭介紹六百次了吧。

I got a question sent over to me that stopped me in my tracks.

有人問了我一個問題，讓我當場愣住了。

Dear Blocko, why won't Ohio let me build a house out of bread?

親愛的 Blocko，為什麼俄亥俄州不准我用麵包蓋房子？

Did this person try and they got stopped by Ohio.

是這個人試過了，結果被俄亥俄州阻止了嗎？

Did Ohio come in and stop this person from building elsewhere for some reason?

還是俄亥俄州跑來阻止這個人在別的地方蓋房子，是為什麼呢？

I'm sure there are laws in place to stop people from building bread houses in any state.

我確定每個州都有相關的法規，來阻止大家蓋麵包屋。

In an effort to keep people safe, governments have developed a set of laws about how buildings can be constructed.

為了確保大家安全，政府制定了一系列關於建築如何建造的法律。

These are known as building codes, which encompass a wide range of rules about things like structural integrity, fire safety, and

這些法律稱為建築規範，涵蓋了結構完整性、消防安全和

All things that a house made of bread would clearly violate.

這些都是用麵包蓋房子顯然會違反的。

Even one of the world's hardest breads, hardtack, wouldn't be up for the task.

就連世界上最硬的麵包之一，硬餅乾，也無法勝任這個任務。

It's baked four times to remove all the water content and can last for years.

它會烤四次以去除所有水分，並且可以保存多年。

It's so hard that the soldiers who had to eat it called it sheet iron crackers.

它非常硬，以至於不得不吃它的阿兵哥們稱它為鐵皮餅乾。

But even this bread softens and gets moldy when wet.

但即使是這種麵包，遇水也會變軟發黴。

It's also well known for attracting bugs and other pests.

它也以吸引蟲子和其他害蟲而聞名。

Another nickname the soldiers gave to it was Worm Castle.

阿兵哥們也給它另一個綽號，叫做蟲堡。

And bug palace or not, we also all know what happens to bread when it burns.

而且不論是不是蟲子的宮殿，我們都知道麵包燒焦後會怎樣。

Now, I don't know if this person is still trying to build a house out of food in Ohio, but

現在，我不知道這個人是否還在俄亥俄州試圖用食物蓋房子，但是

I actually did find something that might do the trick.

我其實找到了一些可能辦得到。

More specifically, I'm talking about the network of branched tubular threads in fungi known as mycelium.

更具體來說，我指的是真菌中分支管狀線的網絡，稱為菌絲體。

This network transports nutrients from the environment to a fungi such as a mushroom.

這個網絡會將環境中的養分運送到像蘑菇這樣的真菌。

Kind of like how the roots of a tree transport nutrients to its fruit.

就像樹根把養分輸送到果實一樣。

Architects and engineers have been experimenting with building structures from this natural material, and it's surprisingly easy.

建築師和工程師一直在嘗試用這種天然材料建造結構，而且出乎意料地容易。

They begin with a mold, add a growing medium for it to eat, and

他們會先準備一個模具，加入一些讓它吃的生長介質，

In just a few days, the mold will be filled.

After it's dried out, it'll be a lightweight, super strong material that can be used for structure, insulation, furniture, a mars living structure, you name it.

乾燥後，它會變成一種輕質、超強韌的材料，可以用於結構、保溫、傢俱、火星居住結構，什麼都可以。

Researchers are still working on making it a more practical replacement for common building materials such as concrete.

研究人員仍在努力讓它成為混凝土等常見建築材料的實際替代品。

Like concrete, mycelium is water, mold and fire resistant, but

和混凝土一樣，菌絲體具有防水、防黴和防火的特性，但

it falls behind in terms of strength and weather resistance.

在強度和耐候性方面則稍遜一籌。

While concrete has a compressive strength of 4,000 psi, a mycelium brick only has a strength of 3.30psi, although relative to its weight, which is just 43kg, it's pretty strong.

混凝土的抗壓強度為 4,000 psi，而菌絲體磚的強度僅為 3.30 psi，不過相對於其僅 43 公斤的重量來說，它已經相當堅固了。

One research team stacked 10,000 mycelium bricks into a 13 meter tall tower that survived its three month trial.

一個研究團隊堆疊了 10,000 塊菌絲體磚，建造了一座高 13 公尺的塔，成功通過了為期三個月的試驗。

But the best part is that this material is very eco friendly.

但最棒的是，這種材料非常環保。

For one, they dramatically cut the amount of fossil fuels needed during the fabrication process of typical building materials.

首先，它大幅減少了製造傳統建築材料時所需的化石燃料。

They are also a convenient way to recycle waste products, since the growing medium can be things like agricultural byproducts or even demolished buildings.

而且，它們也是回收廢棄物的好方法，因為生長介質可以是農業副產品，甚至是拆除的建築物。

And the mycelium structures themselves are 100% biodegradable.

菌絲體結構本身更是 100% 可生物降解。

A team at MIT actually created the first occupied building made from mycelium bricks.

麻省理工學院的一個團隊實際上建造了第一棟由菌絲體磚建造的有人居住建築。

So Ohio might stop you from building a bread house, but

所以俄亥俄州可能會阻止你建造麵包屋，但

maybe, just maybe, in your lifetime they'll encourage you to build a mushroom house.

也許，只是也許，在你這一生中，他們會鼓勵你建造蘑菇屋。

But I love finding the science in the silly.

但我喜歡在無釐頭中尋找科學。

So let me know in the comment section below.

所以請在下方的留言區告訴我。

Right now, do you have any other questions, silly or not, that I can answer in a future video?

現在，你還有其他問題嗎，不管是不是無釐頭的，我可以在未來的影片中回答？

Ask away and click like on some of the ones that you find really interesting.

儘管問，然後把你覺得很有趣的問題按讚。
