Chapter 525: An Amazing Discovery

The number of a pb seems to be very large, but for a fifth-level civilization, it is just a drop in the bucket.

In a sense, the magnitude of the number jù storage can also reflect the level of development of a civilization.

For example, for human beings before the information revolution, the only medium for storing information was books, but how much information can a book really store?

1MB is already a huge book.

With the development of semiconductor integrated circuit technology, the amount of information that human beings can store has been greatly improved. The storage space of computer hard disk has gradually developed from the original KB, MB, GB, TB to the level of PB.

In the 21st century, a small USB flash drive can hold all the historical documents that have been recorded in China.

But for now, petabyte-class storage systems are very rare, and the fastest supercomputer in human operation, Tianhe-2, has a hard disk capacity of only 12.4 petabytes, and it is still for all fields of scientific research.

In fact, only a very small number of Jù-intensive research areas require petabyte-scale storage systems, such as human genome engineering, molecular biology studies of proteins and chromosomes, and so on.

Therefore, the 1 petabyte number Jù data obtained from the Kahn spacecraft is very valuable to both Chen Xin and Steel.

Five minutes later, the on-board computer on the rover had completed all the counts.

Chen Xin began to use the intelligent program in the guò computer to retrieve, sort, and arrange these data and data.

The steel hammers have been translated into Chinese during the transmission process, which greatly facilitates Chen Xin's retrieval.

More than 30 percent of these materials are logbooks of spacecraft, which contain holographic projections of major shipping routes, living planets, black holes, neutron stars, and space turbulence in the Great Magellanic Cloud. It opened Chen Xin's eyes greatly.

It's a pity that this kind of information is too high-end and is of little use to Chen Xin in a short period of time.

Among the remaining materials, there is no research literature on the Higgs boson and gravitational field that Chen Xin hopes to see, and there is not even a word in this regard.

Otherwise, Chen Xin makes use of these materials. With the help of the scientists on the earth, it may be able to help the steel hammer break through the bottleneck of the second-level civilization and enter the ranks of the third-level civilization. Once promoted to the third-level civilization, steel hammers can no longer be limited by materials, and some highly intelligent industrial machines can be manufactured on a large scale. This is both for steel and for humans. It's all a great thing.

However, Chen Xin is not without gains, he has found a lot of research reports on the earth's life in these miscellaneous materials.

And the first research report that Chen Xin clicked on scared him a lot.

This is a research paper on T4 bacteriophage.

T4 bacteriophage is a type of virus, which is harmless to humans because of its simple structure, clear genetic background, easy proliferation, and harmlessness. It is one of the most thoroughly studied model organisms to date and the most widely used in virology and molecular genetics research.

It stands to reason that human beings have studied such a simple creature deep enough, but after seeing the research paper of the Karn civilization, Chen Xin was still shocked.

On the first page of this paper, there is a 3D projection of the T4 bacteriophage magnified, which is 1.5 meters high, similar to that of a spider. The exterior looks lifelike and dreamlike.

In fact, it has been magnified a million times.

The planet is not without electron microscopes with a magnification of a million times and used for biological research. But Chen Xin is sure that humans simply cannot draw such a detailed model of the T4 bacteriophage.

And when he also found that the T4 phage on the holographic projection can continue to be magnified, ten times, a hundred times, and finally he can even see the molecular structure of amino acids on the protein shell of the T4 phage, and the atoms such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur are clearly visible.

And that's not even the most amazing. In this report, Kahn scientists have studied bacteriophages down to the microscopic particle level. In an attempt to explain the metabolism, growth and development and genetic variation of bacteriophages from a quantum perspective, there are many terms that cannot be translated. Because human research has not reached this kind of course at all, there is naturally no corresponding scientific terminology for it.

But there is no doubt that this report is many times more advanced than the current biotechnology of mankind.

If you show it to the top biologists on the planet, I'm afraid it's like reading a book from heaven.

In fact, even in the field of biochemistry, biologists on the earth are far from being able to analyze complex organisms down to the molecular level, and use pure chemical theories to explain and predict biological phenomena.

Not to mention quantum physics.

Finally, a sentence from the report caught Chen's attention, and the Kahn scientists believed that phages were very suitable for the cultivation of gene drugs, and they proposed to apply them to the Kahn gene medicine system.

Chen Xin memorized this detail in mind, and previously said that carbon-based civilizations are unique in biological research, and even use them to confront the silicon-based life alliance.

At the time, he was still a little strange, but after reading this report, he vaguely understood.

Next, the steel hammer made some new discoveries, it found a holographic drawing of the spacecraft inside the spacecraft, which not only marked the power area, living area, scientific research area, storage area and internal rail transit system of the spacecraft, but also the mission description of the spacecraft.

According to the above, this spaceship should belong to the second ship of the Kahn Explorer-class scientific research spaceship, which is mainly used to find some low-level life planets in the universe, obtain the genetic information of organisms on these planets, and expand the gene pool of the Karn civilization.

Of course, in the process, there are also some not-so-friendly bloody scenes.

Even if technology has advanced, humans are no different from animals to the Karn civilization.

According to the Carbon-Based Alliance for Life Pact, carbon-based civilizations below level 3 are not considered members of the Alliance.

When he saw this, Chen Xin's heart moved, and he asked: "Gangyi, in the carbon-based life alliance, is every civilization looking for a new life planet to expand the gene pool of this civilization?"

said: "Yes, old bean, is there anything wrong with this?"

Chen Xin was a little worried: "If the earth is discovered by other carbon-based civilizations, will it be regarded as their biological gene pool?

The steel hammer was a little hesitant and said, "Hehe, old bean, this ...... Possibly...... But for now, you don't have to worry!"

Chen Xin frowned and said: "What do you mean don't have to worry for the time being, do you have something to hide from me?" (to be continued) R580
