For scientists in the normal world, the most troublesome thing about DNA storage is that whether it is inputting information in chess or reading information out of it, the equipment required is extremely complicated and takes a long time, and the efficiency It is very low and has no way to be compatible with existing computer systems.
There is nothing to say about the efficiency of DNA itself in storing information. This molecular-level storage efficiency has surpassed almost all existing storage devices.
But biologists in this world do not have this problem. After understanding the gene sequence, Frank Lee can already directly read the gene sequence. This is after they completed the sequencing of a complete gene. Frank Lee Ability mastered.
In other words, it was not that he couldn't read it before, but he could sense it, but he couldn't match the number, couldn't tell which base was which, or even couldn't tell which one was DNA. But now he can directly read genes and edit and write them directly. This means that for him, neither reading nor writing is a problem.
As for copying and backing up, this is the simplest thing for DNA, because self-replication is almost the instinct of this material, and there is almost no need for modification in this regard to achieve the effect of a normal information storage device.
This information can be injected into human cells, and only a few cells may be needed. You can store this information and carry it with you. It is more convenient than things like mobile phones. As long as you are a biologist, you can read the huge information stored in your body at any time. Maybe one finger can fit the entire library.
It's a pity that biologists will not be contaminated by the hidden sages. Otherwise, the hidden sages will be pouring knowledge crazily over there, and the biologists will convert the knowledge poured into their minds into base codes and store them in their own cells. In the body, I am afraid that even if the hidden sage empties his own knowledge, he may not be able to fill a person with it.
After Lan Nuo thought about the feasibility, he immediately informed Frank Lee of his idea: "When you store information, you must also remember to classify the information and make a directory to facilitate your own retrieval. You should know that the directory is What a concept.
In the future, if you store a huge library of information in your body, you will need to retrieve the required information. Otherwise, you will have to read all the information every time, and you will not be able to extract useful information a few times. .
And you can clip the pieces of information you need into the directory. Then let him transcribe a piece of RNA when needed, because the base pairs themselves match each other. It will automatically find the corresponding field in your database, and then fit it. If you continue to look from this position, it will be the piece of information you need to search for. "
"Wonderful!" Frank Lee had never thought about this before. His talent was more in biology, and he was very inexperienced in how to manage a database. At this time, he realized that he seemed to have too many things. Need to learn.
Lan Nuo thought more than him. Since biologists can easily store information through cells, can they perform calculations through cells?
Logically speaking, the conventional way of computing through cells is to build a structure like the human brain, that is, complex neurons, and then calculate information through the interaction between each neuron.
But with this method of calculation, information is not stored inside the cells, but in the neural network. That is to say, the accuracy of the neural network of the human brain is actually far lower than that of the chip. After all, the volume of cells is much larger. Far beyond the molecular level, the accuracy of today's chips is infinitely close to the nanometer level. However, human brain thinking is not limited to the cellular level, so it is difficult to simulate it through chips.
But now that biologists’ control capabilities have reached the genetic level, can they develop a biological computer that is more microscopic and more efficient than the cellular level? If possible, the world's scientific and technological development path can completely take shortcuts. It is self-evident how important computers are to the development of modern science and technology. Today's scientific research results are almost impossible to break away from computers. If you want to improve technology to a higher level, level, huge computing power is even more essential.
The two people's project had started to go astray without knowing it. Fortunately, Lan Nuo had not forgotten the business. After the modified virus began to replicate itself on a large scale, he found a test field and conducted experiments on part of the wheat.
Biologists can see directly what the wheat will look like as it matures after being sprayed with the chemical. So are the drugs created successful? You can basically tell it at a glance.
The first ones created were basically failures, either withering quickly or growing without fruit. There are also many that have inherited wrong traits, and the fruits they grow cannot be used as food at all.
But this failure is nothing to biologists. It would be better to say that there were such obvious changes for the first time. It’s already boosting morale.
Under normal circumstances, the sprayed virus should not cause any changes at all, which is a normal phenomenon. At most, some plants will be directly poisoned by the virus.
The changes before us mean at least one thing, that is, their transformation of the virus was successful. This virus does affect plants. And directly modify the mature body of the plant, infect the entire plant in a short time, and modify their genes.
“The next step is to screen out the most stable and effective virus. We now need to let wheat inherit the two characteristics of corn.
One is the efficient utilization of carbon dioxide and water. Corn is a C4 plant and its utilization efficiency of water and carbon dioxide is very high. This is also one of the important reasons for its high yield. More importantly, it is precisely because of its high utilization efficiency of water and carbon dioxide that it can grow in relatively barren areas such as mountains, and its viability is significantly better than other food crops.
The other is the fruit gene of corn. Find out the part that makes the fruit expand, and the gene that grows multiple ears on the same plant. In this way, the wheat we cultivate may grow multiple ears, and The ears of wheat were larger than they are now. This is no longer as simple as doubling the yield. The planting of a new generation of wheat seeds in the future will undoubtedly have better results than this generation. This will greatly solve the food problem. It also has important implications for a recent initiative within our organization. "
The Mo family has quite good relationships with a large number of farmers in the suburbs and can purchase grain directly from them. However, the number of these farmers is actually not too large. If it were just for this strike, it would support the consumption of more than 100,000 workers in the city. In fact, it is not enough, let alone harvesting a wave of profiteers in the city.
But if a drug that can significantly increase production happens to be developed at this time, that would be another matter. Now the two of them are constantly getting closer to this drug. So far, the effect is very good. As they By constantly adjusting the genetic sequence of the virus, the plants sprayed with these drugs are getting closer and closer to their target appearance.
In a recent test, the two saw that most of the wheat that had been sprayed with chemicals quickly absorbed water from the soil in the next month, began to grow taller, and developed in the gaps between the leaves. More ears of wheat came out. As for the plant itself, the plant itself is generally thicker than before. Even if the original wheat plant was relatively thick, it was generally not as thick as a farmer's little finger, but now it is generally thicker than a thumb. It's been a circle. Also growing in size along with it are the ears of wheat, the original ears of wheat. It is composed of wheat grains arranged closely together, and now after the mutation, there is a corn cob-like structure inside, and the wheat grains have become embedded on it. On average, each ear of wheat can grow Twelve rows of wheat grains, both in row number and length, have far exceeded the previous level. This is no longer a two or three times increase in output.
If this kind of thing were placed in a world without extraordinary power, it would definitely be called a scientific miracle, but it is not that exaggerated here. After all, the mushrooms of various flavors created by Frank Lee in the original work are actually Much more outrageous.
It grows up to smell like beef, and it grows into a type that can be milked. Even Lan Nuo has no idea how to create such a thing.
"Well... it seems that it's basically done. It's finally completed. I didn't expect the wheat to grow so big. In another month, each of them will be taller than me. In that case, wouldn't the yield per mu be higher than Is the corn still high?”
It must be admitted that when the yield is equal, wheat is a better food crop than corn. Both in terms of storage and nutritional value, it is relatively higher, not to mention the taste in long-term consumption. Perhaps Some people may think that corn tastes better than pasta, but these people are undoubtedly a minority when compared to the entire human population.
As for the current improvement, in terms of yield per mu, this mutant wheat can only be said to be a few percent higher than corn, but its value is much higher, and if the annual output is taken into account, the improved crop growth cycle will be shorter. Adjust the planting time. With the relatively warm climate of the Loen Kingdom, it is entirely possible to plant two seasons a year.
In the final analysis, the greatest significance of the current temporary improvements is to use this strike to overturn the table, win benefits from factory owners, and allow workers to organize themselves and have their own power.
And how did the Lannos do it? It is naturally necessary to organize demonstrations and preach their moral principles in the city. After all, if you don't occupy the high ground of public opinion, others will naturally occupy it, so you must firmly grasp it.
But many things don’t make sense just because you say them, and people will believe them. Even if many things are right, some people may not do them. Otherwise, why would some people say that the way to get rich is written in the criminal law?
Therefore, the Mohists naturally want to use practical actions to prove that what they say is correct, and to use practical actions to prove that labor creates wealth.
And now they have successfully organized more than 100,000 people, and they have enough food to ensure that these people can have food and clothing for at least a month. Of course, they cannot feed them in vain. Even if they are relieving the victims, they have to work for relief. There is so much manpower, and among them there are many skilled workers from all walks of life, why don’t we start practicing as soon as possible?
In the East District of Backlund, with the tacit consent of the royal family, the Mo family purchased a large area at a relatively cheap price, and then organized these workers to renovate and demolish the original old and dilapidated buildings, dredge and rebuild them. Part of the drainage system in the East District and high-rise buildings with better construction conditions will be used in the future. Even if the strike is over and the two sides reach a compromise, the Mohists will have a number of high-quality assets in their hands, and these houses can be rented to nearby residents at a very low price. Workers, it does not take long to recover costs, and it can further unite workers and use facts to explain their ideas.
It is not just residential buildings that are under construction, but also many factories. After all, with so many people gathered together, it is not in vain. When building these factories, we have already made an agreement with the workers, whether they are residential buildings or factories. , they are all participating in the stock with their own labor, and their future income can be divided into dividends. The more they build, the better the quality, the more dividends they can expect in the future. The calculations are clear, and they are all working for themselves. Although the level of fatigue is sometimes even higher than working in a factory, the enthusiasm is really low.
The powerful organizational ability of the Mohist family was fully demonstrated. No one in the entire Loen Kingdom dared to say that they could manage more than 100,000 people in an orderly manner without using extraordinary power, and showed such strong productivity.
Lan Nuo is not in a hurry at all. This group of factories mainly does not compromise quickly, so he will not take them to play. Lan Nuo is now skillfully building a coal and steel industrial complex. Once this thing is completed, it will be like a virus. The same crazy expansion, plus they also control the chemical plant and the input channels of many raw materials. If these factory owners really fight with him to the end, then Backlund will not need them anymore. Lan Nuo can definitely Leave these people alone and do better than all of them combined.
If before when these workers were marching in the streets, singing loudly and spreading throughout Backlund, the factory owners and nobles who had suffered losses were still despising this group of bottom-level forces, now some people are already feeling bad.
The Mo family's organizational skills are simply outrageous, and I don't know what magic tricks they used to make these striking workers take the initiative to work, and have fun while doing it. The efficiency is astonishingly high.
Nowadays, the renovation of a large area of the old city in the East District is about to be completed. The planned employee community has complete infrastructure and is as tidy as even compared to Queens. Moreover, it can be said that the residents in the community are very convenient to commute to and from get off work. The corners are basically factory areas, and these factories are being established rapidly. The Mo family has enough knowledge reserves and enough capital reserves to purchase and modify various equipment.
At this time, some of these factory areas have been completed and put into production.
