The core area of the Space Ranch Breeding Center has a large number of various instruments and robots. Unlike other areas, there are also people, real people.
The core area is composed of many small independent laboratories, as well as some mature breeding production lines.
After listening to the instructor's brief introduction, Su Zhe and the other five walked in the independent laboratory areas. These independent laboratories are mostly robots and only a few are real people.
According to the narrator, after a while, Space Ranch will undergo a comprehensive upgrade, which will focus on these robots and real people.
After upgrading, these robots will become more advanced, and they will be able to do more things. It is not said that they can do all the work of humans, but it is almost the same.
Then there are real people. After the upgrade, real people will no longer be resident in the space ranch unless necessary. All real people will be replaced by remote-controlled humanoid bionic robots.
Su Zhe and the other five knew something about these, after all, these upgrades were directly related to them.
It’s not just the space ranch that needs to be upgraded, the space farm, space fishery, and Biosphere No. 1 must also be upgraded.
Not only these, almost all celestial devices that have been in service for a long time will be upgraded or iterated.
In the final analysis, technology is developing too fast. For example, this time, with the advent of brain machines and the iteration of humanoid bionic robots, all those in the past will be eliminated one by one.
When proton nuclear fusion devices and cold nuclear fusion become available, it will be another major technological iteration. Under the leadership of the commentator, Su Zhe and the other five entered a small laboratory.
There are only three robots in this laboratory. These three robots are busy and have no response to the arrival of Su Zhe and the five others. They are still doing what they want to do.
Su Zhe and the other five walked around this small laboratory, and after the commentator's explanation, they understood what this laboratory was about.
The function of this laboratory is very simple, that is, gene sequencing. The same is true for gene sequencing, which is now much more advanced than previous technology.
To put it simply, current gene sequencing only needs to put the sequencing target into the equipment, and the sequencing process can be completed in just ten seconds.
It's the same as people taking X-rays in the past. As for the principle, it is extremely simple, and different materials absorb and emit electromagnetic waves with different wavelengths.
This is not just simple sequencing, even the spatial organization of genetic material can be detected.
Fan Xiaoming stood at the entrance of the laboratory, swiping his hand across the space in front of him, and a new picture appeared in front of the five people. It was a 3D spatial map of the complete gene sequence of the cow's spermatogonia that had just been measured.
With Fan Xiaoming's thoughts, the picture is constantly changing. What functions does the corresponding genome have, the process of genome expression, etc.
Seeing this, Zuo Dajun sighed: "It's just now. In the past, we had technology like this, which could detect these easily. With this technology, our medical technology has achieved a qualitative improvement." Speaking of which, it is actually thanks to Su Zhe and Ning Changsheng.
It is these two people who have improved detection technology by several orders of magnitude, not only at the micro level but also at the macro level.
Related detection technologies are used in a wide range of applications, ranging from SS-defense systems to atomic detection.
The current detection accuracy has reached the atomic level. There are some shortcomings of this technology, that is, the penetration is poor. There is nothing we can do about it. This is the disadvantage of electromagnetic waves, or photons themselves.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile on his face: "Of course, with current surgical operations, as long as you wear specific equipment, you can see people transparently, and you can see changes in the human body as small as atomic levels. There is no obstacle at all. If this is still possible If something goes wrong, there's nothing you can do." Such equipment has been promoted a long time ago and has been iterated many times.
By now, those surgeons have basically been laid off, and most of them have simply been replaced by medical robots.
Nowadays, the treatment of patients is quite simple. The first thing to do is to detect the whole body at the atomic level to create a digital file, which is actually a digital person.
The next step is to analyze the digital people. The diseases that have occurred can basically be detected instantly. Once detected, it will be easy to deal with, and treatment can be carried out according to the specific situation.
If there is an undetermined cause, my dear, you have won the lottery, and thousands of experts will be consulted.
Again, as long as it's not the kind that dies on the spot, it won't die. Even if it can't be completely cured, there is no problem in saving life.
Xu Zhengping nodded with a smile and said: "Today's medical methods have developed to a level that was unimaginable in the past. To put it simply, the life span of a person now depends on the life span of the brain. How long the brain can run healthily will determine the life of the person. How long can you live?”
"Yes! This is the current situation, but science and technology are constantly developing. When we fully analyze the mechanism of the brain, it will not be without problems to achieve brain immortality." Fan Xiaoming smiled,
"We can use partial replacement of brain tissue to achieve brain immortality, and the same is true for the human body. Of course, this is a stupid method. I would rather see human immortality achieved at the genetic level." Fan Xiaoming said At that time, I was quite confident.
The analysis of the brain and the analysis of human genetic material are always in progress. In theory, after the complete analysis of human genetic material, it is a certainty that humans will achieve immortality.
Zuo Dajun looked at the changing genetic genes of cattle in the picture in front of him and said with a smile: "Why, we have made a big breakthrough in the analysis of human genetic genes, or we have completed the analysis of human genetic genes. Fan Xiaoming waved his hand and said: "We are still far away, but what is certain is that there is no problem in completing the analysis of human genetic genes in our lifetime, but I don't know if it will be possible to achieve immortality as I think." Bao Qi was thinking about it and said: "This is only a matter of time. It is 80% feasible to achieve immortality." A few people chatted about the small laboratory and walked around the laboratory area. Several people came Arriving at a relatively larger laboratory.
There are five robots and one real person in this lab. This man was quite enthusiastic when he saw Su Zhe and the other five people coming in.
Speaking of which, this person is still a student at Lingzhou University of Technology. The student warmly received the five Su Zhe people and introduced the functions of this laboratory to them.
This laboratory is cultivating bovine spermatogonia, a specific, experimental culture. After introducing these, Xu Zhengping, as the principal, became concerned about the student's life here.
The student answered truthfully, saying that they were students on a rotating basis, and that they would only stay here for a month, and then they could choose to return to Earth.
He also said that there is no difference between here and on earth.
"There is actually not much difference between here and on Earth. The food, drink, and accommodation are similar. Laboratory work is also easy. Most of the time it is a brain-based job. The main job is actually to come up with ideas and do innovative work. , as for those repetitive tasks, they have been completely replaced by these robots. If there is a bad thing, it is that we live in Ecosystem No. 1, and we have to waste a few minutes flying back and forth every day when commuting to work. At first, it felt quite novel. Yes, I don’t feel it now, and I still think it’s a waste of time. I think it’s enough to find us a place to live in the space ranch. It’s not necessary now. I heard that we people won’t need to stay here in the future. Use remote control bionics. The robot has replaced it, so I can just lie down at home. By the way, there is also a brain computer. When will we be able to use the brain computer? I watched the whole conference of the brain computer. This brain computer is so powerful. Now, there are also upgraded humanoid bionic robots. With the brain-computer, there is no need for the tablet in my hand, and the game cabin can also be eliminated. ..." Su Zhe and the other five listened to what this student said After chatting for a while, a few people left the laboratory.
I walked around the laboratory area again and learned that the laboratories here basically serve artificial uterus technology, or are supporting laboratories for artificial uterus technology.
The laboratory area is also divided into zones, and the experimental subjects in each zone are different, including cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, as well as some animals in the grassland ecology, such as weasels and marmots.
After leaving the laboratory area, Su Zhe and the other five came to the breeding production line area. The first thing a few people visited was the cattle breeding line.
The first thing you see is a large cell culture area, to be precise, the culture area for bovine oogonia and spermatogonia.
It is mainly the proliferation and development of these oogonia and spermatogonia that form egg cells and sperm. After these formed eggs and sperm pass the examination, they will go to the next area and the fertilization area.
Zuo Dajun looked at the thousands of invisible identical devices in front of him and said with some surprise: "This... how many different oogonia and spermatogonia are there, the number is a bit scary!" These eggs The device for culturing primary cells and spermatogonia is not large, only about the size of a large teapot. It is transparent, and some of its interior can still be seen.
Several other people couldn't answer this question, but the commentator gave an accurate answer. There are millions of different types of oogonia and spermatogonia in this area.
Hearing this, several people were surprised. This is just the same breed of cattle. If other breeds of cattle are included, the calculation will be even more.
Hearing this, Zuo Dajun asked another question, directly asking the commentator: "How are these oogonia and spermatogonia obtained? It cannot be obtained by surgical means." Zuo Dajun had just finished speaking. , Su Zhe and Fan Xiaoming all laughed.
Fan Xiaoming said with a smile: "Dajun, this is not a year ago. There are many ways to obtain oogonia and spermatogonia, and surgical extraction is too backward. Don't tell me that you don't know about nanobots. They were speculated in the past." We realized the big and very popular nanorobot a few months ago. Let me show you how the nanorobot obtains oogonia and spermatogonia." As he spoke, Fan Xiaoming waved his hand in front of him, and the screen appeared is a nanorobot that has been magnified many times.
These nanorobots were put into the cattle's feed and entered the cow's body along with the feed. Then, these nanorobots entered the cow's body fluids and finally entered the cow's blood vessels.
As time went by, these nanorobots came to the designated area. Some nanorobots surrounded the target cells, and some nanorobots began to work together to transport them. Finally, these nanorobots and the target cells were excreted out of the body together with the cow urine.
After quickly watching the whole process, Zuo Dajun was extremely surprised.
"It's only been a year, and we have become so awesome. This method of collecting oogonia and spermatogonia is completely harmless to cows. This method can only be said to be awesome. I am Wanwan I didn't expect it to be this way." Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "Army! Don't always hang around mechas and the like. Learn more about other technologies. You have to know that half a year ago we collected data from all over the world. All technologies and related research materials, coupled with the liberation of the domestic labor force, and those with some basic knowledge have joined in scientific research work, and it is not surprising that technological development has advanced by leaps and bounds." After the asteroid impact incident, the country has obtained With all the valuable research data in the world, coupled with the increase in scientific researchers, technology is developing rapidly.
Zuo Dajun smiled sheepishly and said: "I was thinking about how to obtain eggs and sperm for the population increase plan. It was a bit troublesome as in the past, after all, there were a lot of them, right? Only when I saw this did I realize that what was used was not eggs and sperm at all. , are oogonia and spermatogonia. I was thinking about how to obtain oogonia and spermatogonia, but I didn't expect it to be so simple." Compared with the acquisition of sperm, the acquisition of egg cells is much more troublesome and requires surgery. .
Of course, this was in the past, and now it is much easier to obtain egg cells. At first, he thought that this artificial uterus technology was like the in vitro fertilization in the past, which directly used eggs and sperm. Now it seems that he is being conservative.
Relatively speaking, it is more direct and simple to collect oogonia and spermatogonia. Once obtained, it can last for a long time.
The most important thing is that after collecting egg cells and sperm, their genetic material is basically determined, but it will be different after collecting oogonia and spermatogonia.
In addition, oogonia and spermatogonia can increase through proliferation, and the genetic material of the eggs and sperm they produce is also diverse.
Taken together, it is much better to use oogonia and spermatogonia than to use eggs and sperm. Fan Xiaoming smiled and said: "That's because you are overthinking it. It is much more straightforward to collect oogonia and spermatogonia, leaving all the trouble." Zuo Dajun nodded with a smile and said with some surprise: "Look at it this way, that's Isn't it true that as long as we have enough resources and energy, we can increase the population without limit?" Fan Xiaoming nodded and said, "Theoretically, that's the case."
