Chapter 591: The Mystery of Human Origin (I)
When the world participated in the cracking of human genes, our country's strength was not strong, and the level of science and technology was not high. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info especially in terms of gene technology, it is a lot behind. Abroad formed a good scale as early as the eighties, and our country supported it in the 863 program, and it was only in the nineties that a certain scale was formed. In general, our country has been lagging behind for a long time.
It was in such a situation that our country participated in the work of genetic cracking and completed the task ahead of schedule.
Now, it's time to re-verify our level at that time, and everyone can't help but be nervous.
"It's over 10,000 base pairs, and there are no errors." Huang Lao looked at the data and said with a smile: "Our error rate is indeed not more than 1 in 10,000. ”
More than 10,000 did not have a single error, not that there were no errors later. There may be a couple of mistakes in the future, but it's a good start, and it's something to be happy about.
"More than 20,000, and still no mistakes." Wu Lao said with a smile.
The crowd was even happier, and the 20,000 were not wrong, which was indeed very good news.
"It's 30,000 soon, and there is a wrong rate." Huang Lao was originally full of expectations, thinking that reaching 30,000 would not make a mistake, but he didn't expect it, and immediately discovered a mistake.
"There is only one error in 30,000, which is much lower than the announced error rate, which is worth rejoicing." Ye Chen comforted.
"As a scientist, no one likes to make mistakes." Huang Lao's face was full of regret.
Ye Chenxin said that this is too demanding, right? The requirement of that year was that the error rate was less than 1 in 10,000, which was 1 in 30,000, and you were still not satisfied?
With the level of science and technology in our country back then, this is a very happy thing.
Over time, more and more base pairs were corrected, and more and more errors were found.
"We've got 1 million bases right, and we've made 31 errors, which means that our error rate is within 1 in 30,000, which is much better than the published data." Everyone finally had a general idea.
After testing a million of them, there are only 31 errors, which is a proper error rate of 1 in 30,000, which is much better than the standard of 1 in 10,000.
I believe that the difference in error rate will not be too big.
Sure enough, until the test was completed, the error rate did not exceed 1 in 30,000.
"With the technical conditions of our country at that time, it is very good to have such a result." Ye Chen knew very well the situation in our country back then, and it was rare to have such a result.
"yes." Although Huang Lao is still a little regretful, he is still satisfied.
"That's good news, but the bigger good news is that we're so advanced and so efficient that it won't take much time for us to get all the sequencing done." Wu Lao was very happy and said: "In particular, the powerful performance of the super light brain is the biggest help." ”
Human genes need to be cracked, and a lot of calculations are required, which requires supercomputers. Back then, a company bought the world's third-fastest supercomputer in order to crack the gene.
The computing speed of Super Optical Brain exceeded 30 trillion times, which was tens of thousands of times that of the world's third fastest supercomputer, and the computing power was extremely powerful. With such a powerful boost, it will not be too difficult to complete the correction work, the efficiency will be very high, and the time will be greatly reduced.
"yes. Let's move on to the correction. Huang Lao said very much in anticipation.
"Here, correct the data in the United States." Wu Lao proposed.
At that time, the United States was an extremely important participant and organizer in cracking the human gene, and it can be said that it was precisely under the promotion of the United States that there was a global joint action to crack the human gene.
Therefore, it is necessary to correct the data of the United States, and it is still a top priority.
"A mistake. That's just over 8,000 base pairs. Huang Lao shook his head, his face full of regret.
"America loves to brag." Ye Chen despised the United States.
"It is true that the technology of the United States was more advanced than ours back then, but Americans prefer to be pompous and may not be responsible for doing things." Wu Lao doesn't feel very good about the United States.
Although the United States has always regarded itself as democracy, freedom, human rights, and equality, and has promoted American values all over the world, in fact, the United States has blown a lot of.
Soon, 100,000 base pairs were corrected and nine errors were made.
If this is calculated, the error rate in the United States will be around 1 in 10,000. No wonder the standard was set at 1 in 10,000 that year. Zhuang Lao commented.
The United States was extremely important in cracking human genes back then, and the standard was naturally set by the strength of the United States, so as to show the strength of the United States.
Although the calibration is very efficient, the calibration of three billion base pairs is also extremely large, and it is impossible to obtain results in a short period of time.
Ye Chen stayed here. The fathers of hybrid rice, they have their own work to do, and they can only come over when they have time.
Soon, a month passed, and the correction was finally completed.
"The results of the correction are out, and the lowest error rate is in our country, less than 1 in 30,000. Secondly, it is the United States, less than one in 10,000. And then there are the little devils, stumbling up and down in one of eight thousand. Then, there are the countries of Western Europe, which are a little worse than the little devils. Huang Lao announced the results.
Bang Bang Bang!
Warm applause rang out, and everyone was very happy.
At that time, with the level of science and technology in our country, it was rare and happy to be able to rank first on the list.
The mistakes of the United States are not bad, and they do not exceed 1 in 10,000. The error rate of the little devil is mostly the same, only 1 in 8,000. Western Europe is even worse, one in seven thousand.
"The little devil was not known as the world's second largest economy back then, but a global technological power, why is it so bad?" Ye Chen has always had no good impression of the little devil, and he is very disdainful.
"The little devil's second-largest economy in the world has a lot of water, okay?" Zhuang Lao shook his head and said, "When the United States sheared sheep, it forced the little devil to appreciate the exchange rate by half. According to the exchange rate, the GDP of the little devil doubled all at once, and it became the second largest economy in the world. This face is very glamorous, and it sounds good to say, but the little devil's economic recession has not recovered until now. ”
The United States forcibly cut the little devil's "sheep **** forced the little devil's currency to appreciate sharply, and the consequences were very serious, the little devil's economy has been in recession, and it has not recovered until now, and it is still struggling in the downturn.
"As for the science and technology of the little devil, such a cow and that cow, in fact, it is only in a few aspects, like our country to build a perfect industrial system, to build a comprehensive scientific and technological system, the little devil is not playable." Zhuang Lao then despised the little devil.
Zhuang Lao's words did not mean to exaggerate at all.
In today's world, the country with the most complete industrial system is our country, and our country has all the industrial sectors according to the latest classification of the United Nations. On a global scale, there is only one Celestial Empire, and there is no other semicolon. Even the United States has not reached this level of perfection, and some industrial sectors are missing.
Even the big brother of the Western world, the United States, is like this, not to mention other countries.
The little devil's technology back then seemed to be very good, so he could only play in a few aspects, such as cars and home appliances. Now, as soon as the Celestial Empire exerts its strength, the little devil appears in its original form. Originally, the little devils were the first in terms of high-tech exports in Asia, but now they don't even have half of the Celestial Empire. Moreover, the gap is getting wider.
This incident fully shows that the little devil is congenitally deficient, and it is normal for this situation to occur.
"As for the countries of Western Europe, not to mention, congenital deficiencies. The small size of the country, the small population, the lack of resources, and the lack of potential limit its development. Zhuang Lao continued.
Western European countries have always regarded themselves as developed countries, but in fact, it is really hard to say whether some Western European countries have such strength. However, there is a big boss, the United States, who wants to bring these Western European countries in to form a club of developed countries.
"Thankfully, we made the correction, but if we had applied it directly, it would have been troublesome and would have come up with the wrong result." Huang Lao stroked his forehead and said with a happy face.
"That's right." The crowd nodded their heads in agreement.
Come to think of it, the fact that the data error rate of the little devils and Western European countries is so high that it will definitely lead to wrong conclusions.
"Now that I'm done calibrating, do I want to publish the data?" Wu Lao asked.
"It can be announced." Xu Lao thought for a while and said, "It's just that we have to take advantage of the opportunity to slap these countries hard and make them lose face." ”
"That's right. The United States, in particular, has always prided itself on cracking genes, and if it is slapped in the face, it will make the United States very uncomfortable, right? The crowd was very much in favor.
The United States likes to be in the limelight and whitewash itself, and if it can make the United States lose face, everyone will be very interested.
Ye Chen disagreed, and said, "I will suggest to the state that this data will not be released." ”
"Not announced? Why? Xiaoye, this is a good time to fall on the face of the United States. The crowd disagreed.
"It's just a face, and there is not much to lose." Ye Chen smiled and said, "Think about it, in addition to how many errors we have in these data, do foreign countries know?" I don't know! Abroad uses wrong data to calculate and study, which will make foreign countries waste a lot of money. Wouldn't it be better to let them go further and further down the wrong path? Isn't it much better than having a face? ”
Everyone's mouths were wide open, and they wrinkled their brows and thought about it.
"Not bad!" After a while, the crowd shouted in approval.
Ye Chen's method is very damaged, and it also hurts so much that there is nothing to say abroad.
Just falling on the face is just an ugly face for the United States. However, there were no real losses. Think about it, how much manpower, material and financial resources will be wasted by letting foreign countries go further and further down the wrong path? When you find out that there is a mistake after you have wasted a lot, what will be your expression at that time?
Gene technology is already one of the hottest technologies in the world, and foreign countries have invested heavily in the development of gene technology, and the more they invest, the greater the loss.
"Ye Dong, he is worthy of being a black-hearted profiteer, this idea is not an ordinary loss!" Xiao Lingyue's good-looking eyebrows furrowed, despising Ye Chen.
She knew best how black-hearted Ye Chen was. If nothing else, let's just say that he is super light-brained, he is so dark.
"How do you speak?" Ye Chen glared at Xiao Lingyue and said, "We can also mislead foreign countries. ”
"Sure enough, it's a black-hearted profiteer!" Everyone sighed in unison.
