Forehead...... This September, I'm going to face one of the big things in my life, and that's getting married! So lately, I've been very busy with wedding photos, banquet bookings, and so on. In order to ensure that the time comes, I may have to accumulate some manuscripts this month, so this month can only maintain a minimum update of 6000 per day, and I will add updates from time to time! I hope you can bear with me, and give a few more monthly passes! If you don't subscribe, do you also help subscribe to a few chapters? It costs a lot of money to get married, and ants have been very tight lately!

********

Jin Xiaoqiang was stunned by Dr. Herris's words, and he couldn't speak at all.

This discovery is really too good, he just thought that this biological cell was just a simple cell, a cell that only obeyed his orders, but he didn't expect that after Dr. Herris's research, this kind of cell has such a bright future.

Biological computer, a kind of artifact that human beings have studied for a long time, but in the eyes of many people, such an artifact is simply unattainable, and can only exist in mythological stories, or science fiction novels.

Thinking of the benefits that this kind of biocomputer can bring, Jin Xiaoqiang felt a little trembling all over.

"Doctor...... Doctor...... Can you tell me a little bit about the role of this cell in biocomputers......

Jin Xiaoqiang spoke with a few trills, no wonder he behaved like this, because the news of Dr. Herris really shocked him.

"Alright! Let me tell you about it...... Well, where to start? Let's start with the biocomputer! ”

Dr. Herris was also thrilled, and all this time, the role of this biological cell had only existed in his mind. He had never told anyone else about it, after all, this conjecture was unusually shocking even when he first found out, and although he didn't ask about the world, it didn't mean that he didn't know the importance of this biological cell.

Of course, he didn't dare to take out such an important thing and talk nonsense, so he could only wait until Jin Xiaoqiang came over and discussed it with him.

"The concept of this biocomputer is different from the kind of biochip that is circulating on the market today. The concept of a biochip is to assemble a large number of nucleic acid or protein fragments of known sequences in an orderly manner on the surface of a tiny substrate and analyze the corresponding components of the specimen to be tested by reacting with the labeled nucleic acid or protein molecules. This kind of chip is mainly used in biology, quarantine science, medical pharmacy, etc., which is completely different from what we call a biological computer. ”

As soon as Dr. Herris mentioned this scientific knowledge, he immediately turned red, the old guy is an out-and-out technical controller, and when he mentions this kind of thing, he is naturally energetic.

"And the biological computer we are talking about is a complete one. Computers that can perform logical operations like today's computers are just the mainstream computers on the market now, and they use high-purity silicon wafers in the core chips, but the biological computers we mentioned use biological cells in the chips. ”

Dr. Herris is talking about hand dancing. Jin Xiaoqiang glanced left and right, and it happened that the position they were in happened to be in the corner of the laboratory, and no one paid attention to it, and the other people in the laboratory were doing their own jobs at this time. The people who can join this laboratory are some technology controllers and Frankenstein, and they all have a common characteristic, that is, they are very obsessed with the science and technology of their major, but they are a little indifferent to other things.

So at this time, these people, no one noticed at all. Jin Xiaoqiang and Dr. Herris are secretly communicating something here.

But Jin Xiaoqiang still felt that this was not the place to talk, so he pulled Dr. Herris upstairs.

"Doctor, this is not the place to talk, let's find a quiet place. Talk and talk. ”

At this time, the doctor also noticed that the place where they were talking was a little different, so he followed Jin Xiaoqiang upstairs, and on the top floor of this experimental building, there were places such as a lounge and a meeting room specially arranged for Dr. Herris.

Originally, Jin Xiaoqiang bought a villa for Herris in the city and wanted him to live somewhere, but Herris, who had a strange temper, said that he didn't want to go anywhere, he was only willing to stay in his laboratory every day, and he could even say that he would not leave his laboratory day and night. …,

I came to Dr. Herris's reception room upstairs, and sure enough, like Dr. Herris, it was a mess everywhere, and the daily miscellaneous items in it were piled up in a mess, but some of his experimental reports, and books, were indeed neatly stacked.

The doctor himself is unkempt and doesn't mind, but he doesn't want anyone else to clean up for him, because he doesn't want outsiders to come into his lab, so it's just a mess.

They went to the reception room, each found a place to sit down, and then Herris began to talk again.

"Misterkin, you know that the working principle of computer chips now is to insert components of silicon wafers into an integrated circuit, and use the current between the components to open and close to complete the conversion between 0 and 1, and complete the logical operation set by our human beings. The large size of the integrated circuit, as well as the density of the components on it, and the switching response speed between the components, are the key to determine the computing speed of the chip. ”

Dr. Herris gave a general introduction to the principle of the current computer chip operation, Jin Xiaoqiang is also a highly educated college student, although he is not a computer major, he does not understand the principle of the computer, but his ability to accept is still very strong, and it is easy to understand the principle of the computer chip that Dr. Herris said.

He nodded at Dr. Herris and motioned for him to continue.

"And the computers we use now will have a limit, and this limit is the limit of the central processing unit where the core of this computer is located. As early as the 67s of the last century, when human scientists were constantly studying computer chips, they had actually foreseen this, and finally the founder of Intel, Gordon. Based on this foresight and his own observations, Moore summed up a Moore's law, that is, every 18 months, under the condition that the price remains the same, we can load twice as many transistor components on the same integrated circuit, and the computing speed will be twice as fast, which is the speed of information technology. But some people have made the same prediction, that is, Moore's law will be broken in 2007, because by 2007, there will be no such breakthrough in the loading speed of our integrated circuit crystal components, because on the same specification of integrated circuits, such crystal density has reached the limit. ”

Dr. Herris is not only an expert in biological sciences, but also a master of computers.

Jin Xiaoqiang listened to Herris Bosch's words, and nodded in agreement, in fact, in the past few years, the transistor loading on the integrated circuit has reached the limit, otherwise it would not be launched in the next few years, what dual-core, quad-core and so on CPU.

"On the same specification of the circuit, some people have made a speculation that at most only 250,000 transistors can be loaded, if more are installed, it will greatly affect the speed of integration and computing because of the problem of heat dissipation. But if you use a biological computer, there is no such problem at all. The concept of biological computer, in fact, was announced by the Americans in 1983, their concept is discovered through the study of cytology, we know that protein is an important part of the cell, especially on the cell wall, almost all of them are composed of protein, and the communication between hundreds of millions of cells, and the communication of the cell is by the switch of the cell wall, and then let the medium continue to circulate, which constitutes our life state. Since then, human scientists have begun to study how proteins complete the selection of on and off. They plan to find a suitable protein to replace silicon wafers and make chips to complete the design of biocomputers. ”

Dr. Herris explained that Jin Xiaoqiang has basically understood the basic principle of biological computer chips, and to put it bluntly, it is to find a suitable protein to replace silicon wafers, because the heat dissipation problem of silicon wafers makes him reach a certain limit when composing integrated circuits.

But if you find the right protein, then these heat dissipation and so on are not a problem.

"Think about it, the original silicon wafer is the most important combination on the integrated circuit, but if the appropriate protein molecule is replaced, then one of his storage points is only the size of a molecule, in other words, on the integrated circuit of the same size, the storage capacity of the chip using protein molecules as the combination will be hundreds of thousands of times that of the silicon wafer computer chip, or even hundreds of millions of times, and its heat dissipation problem is much easier to solve than the heat dissipation of the silicon wafer. And because they use biological cells, they also have a self-healing function, which means that if the biochips are damaged, they will be able to repair themselves, and they will be more durable than the current silicon wafer chips......"

Speaking of this, Dr. Herris was a little crazy with excitement, as if he had seen the era of biocomputer technology.

"Uh...... Doctor, what about the problem of producing this biocomputer......

Since it is such a good pen, but it has not yet been made, there must be a problem that has not been solved.

"Uh...... The main reason is that we have not found a suitable large cell material to make this kind of chip, you must know that the current large cells are easy to inactivate, deteriorate, and damage and so on, so the stability of biological cells is definitely a key ...... for the research and development of biological computers."

"So is it appropriate for a biological cell like ours now?"

"It's really suitable, they have good stability, a high survival rate, and they are very self-healing, and they are not easy to spoil......"
