From black technology to super engineering - #497 - Chapter 495 Super Mobile Hard Disk
When Li Zongqun made a quick summary and acted in a hurry, Mo Gu didn’t show too much politeness, but directly joined the meeting.
At the same time, Ye Ming also directly retrieved the database and showed the preliminary results of the genetic analysis.
Then…everyone fell silent.
Although the biological gene bank of the Canglan Star has not been fully completed, it has taken a prototype in the past year, so it can be easily judged that the genes of these large carnivorous animals are highly different from the genes of ordinary animals.
To be precise, it was artificially compiled and transformed.
Then, the next thing is “troublesome”-to what extent has the transformation been carried out? How was it modified? Why remodel? These many problems are in front of us.
“According to some of the data we sent back from the sensors implanted in the beasts, we can currently rule out the possibility that they are a group of high-intelligence creatures.” Mo Gu continued to introduce after showing the data: “So we focus on analyzing that part How the modified gene works.”
“Through the analysis of the video footage on the day of the incident, we believe that this action of the Horror Beast fits the behavioral characteristics of well-trained hounds when hunting.”
At this time Director Niu interjected and asked: “But they can’t be trained, right?”
“Yes.” Mo Gu nodded resolutely: “In the past year, our drones and thermal imaging devices have been detecting the Canglan Star, and no signs of artificial heat sources have been found.”
Director Niu asked again: “Is that possible? They were trained by the Canglan Star very early, or reformed?”
Mo Gu glanced at Ye Ming’s direction. She knew that in such a private meeting, she could make bold guesses, so she nodded after pondering for a few seconds: “Our preliminary inference is that the Canglan Star people are based on advanced biological Technology, modified the genes of this creature thousands of years ago to obtain an effect similar to ‘taming’.”
“Although the Canglan Star people are gone now, their genes and missions have been passed down. We can even think that one of their missions is to guard the dungeon.”
Following Mo Gu’s explanation, everyone nodded slowly.
At this time, Director Zhang asked again: “Then why did they run away when they saw the helicopter?”
Mo Gu coughed lightly, and looked at Ye Ming again.
Everyone also looked at Ye Ming.
“I agree with Professor Mo’s initial guess. Since the Canglan Star can write tasks to guide the behavior of individual organisms in their genes, they can also write enough information into their genes, and they will continue perfectly with the genetic material.”
Facing everyone’s eyes, Ye Ming had a serious expression on his face, and slowly replied: “I think that the information carried by so many unknown genes is not just precautions and the logic of performing tasks.”
Director Niu immediately asked, “Then what else?”
“Put yourself in the shoes.” Ye Ming lowered his eyes and said softly after thinking: “Is it possible that they used these animals as mobile hard drives?”
Hearing the word “mobile hard disk” come out of Ye Ming’s mouth, everyone was startled!
“How much data can that store?”
“According to the binary rules of the earth, the data storage capacity per gram of DNA material can reach 215PB.” Ye Ming casually reported the results of this research more than ten years ago: “Of course, this is the theoretical data obtained from the past development of biological memory , and now that quantum memory has achieved a breakthrough, no one is doing this anymore.”
“Then…” Director Niu opened his mouth, but found that his brain was a little dull, and he took a deep breath after a long time: “Does that mean… Canglan Star people can be the inheritance of knowledge? “
Following Director Niu’s question, Ye Ming breathed out slowly.
Everyone looked at him in unison, with extremely complicated expressions on everyone’s faces.
Knowledge can be inherited! What an incredible technology this is…
And such a civilization will be destroyed?
Ye Ming frowned slightly, and shook his head slightly: “I can’t judge.”
Seeing that everyone still didn’t look away, Ye Ming said again: “But I don’t think that knowledge can be inherited is of special benefit to promoting technological progress, because it is very likely to cause the collective of wisdom to stand still.”
After a pause, Ye Ming continued: “Just as I am against the Paradise Project, I think it is important for a civilization to make greater progress and maintain the development of individual wisdom. The Digital Life Project may obliterate this point. “
“Moreover, this kind of inheritance involves the field of brain and consciousness…” Ye Ming shook his head again: “It is more reliable for you to tell me that they have achieved memory implantation.”
Everyone laughed when they heard him say that.
In sci-fi works, all kinds of memory cleansing and memory implanting plots can be regarded as basic exercises… But to actually realize it theoretically and technically, it is simply more difficult than building a space elevator.
“So I tend to think that it’s akin to data backup.”
“Then since the data can be backed up, can it also be interpreted?”
“Well, in theory.” Ye Ming took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes slightly: “I guess they also use binary data.”
“Why?”
“My guess.”
Director Niu: “…”
Of course Ye Ming didn’t guess.
Because when he received the news from Mogu, he had already let Ita go through all the data uploaded by Mogu, and the data completely conformed to the binary structure pattern.
The only thing that is bad now is the encoding mode.
This also proves from the side that the Canglan Star is indeed a good hand in the field of biology.
Next, Mogu introduced the progress of her other work, such as the progress of photosynthetic proteases and SIRT8 longevity genes that Director Niu is particularly concerned about.
Photosynthetic protease has been found in various trees in the jungle, and the next job is to simulate the transplantation of the earth’s environment. If it can be successful… then when the probe returns to the earth, the probe will It will bring the tree species back to the solar system, and first cultivate it on the moon, and then transplant it to the earth after being safe.
After all, there are tens of billions of people on the earth… This thing can only show the advantages of synthetic starch if it is cultivated on a large scale.
As for the longevity gene protein, the current progress has just been tested on monkeys. It will take time to prove whether it has any effect or side effects.
——Even if some people can’t wait, this kind of protein preparation that involves “extending life span” still has to go through the process.
Of course, there is not much time left for Mogu and the others, because the spaceship construction speed of the sky patching project has been accelerated here, and in two months at the latest, six spaceships will pass through the wormhole to replace Canglan Star. galaxy fitted with a door. At that time, another spacecraft will take off simultaneously to welcome the return of the first probe.
