119 - The first scheme failed

When Chen Chen entered the power main control room, Xiao X had already finished "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" for Chen Chen.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes", released in 2011, tells the story of the protagonist who invents a viral drug called ALZ-112 in order to treat his father's Alzheimer's disease.

The principle of this drug is to regenerate and repair the cranial nerves by infecting the human brain with artificially concocted viruses.

However, many people must not understand the specific principle, in fact, you can make an analogy.

In 2015, scientists in Germany discovered a special gene that is only found in modern humans and close relatives of humans - ARHGAP11B.

This large list of genes helps brain stem cells to multiply, allowing the brain to produce more neurons during development and to develop higher cognitive abilities such as 'thinking' and 'language'.

In other words, it is very likely that it is because of this gene that humans can break out of the food chain and climb to the top of nature.

In order to further study the function of this gene, the German scientists conducted an experiment: through genetic engineering, they implanted this gene into the embryos of mice to observe what happens to the mice that have obtained the "fruit of wisdom".

And the results are also very encouraging, these genetically modified mice have seen a significant increase in brain capacity after birth.

You must know that the cerebral cortex of ordinary mice should be very smooth, looking like a peanut, but after being transferred to this human gene, it has to be squeezed and folded because of the large increase in surface area, and the cortex folds like the human brain.

Therefore, the ARHGAP11B gene plays a crucial role in the development and evolution of the nervous system.

(I just don't know if these mice escaped from prison at the end of the experiment, if they succeeded, maybe a realistic version of "Rat Ball Rise" will be staged in dozens or hundreds of years later, hehe)

The ALZ-112 virus in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is the same principle, which prevents the death of nerve cells caused by Alzheimer's disease by transferring alternative genes into the brain, so that brain nerve cells can be rejuvenated.

And the plot of the movie is very similar to the experiment above, the protagonist of the movie carried out this experiment on a chimpanzee, and as a result, the chimpanzee greatly increased his intelligence, and even gave birth to a child "Caesar" who became the culprit of the demise of human civilization.

Although the means are different, the purpose is the same.

However, the reality can only modify the genes of biological embryos, but cannot modify the genes of adult organisms, because the trillions of genes in adult organisms cannot be changed.

That's why retroviruses appear in the movie, a means of changing genes throughout the body.

The same is true for T-viruses, G-viruses, and DX-1118 viruses.

Back to reality, Chen Chen pulled out the charging USB flash drive, plugged it into the computer, and then tried to drag the downloaded movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" into the USB flash drive.

Boom!

However, an unexpected voice came, and this movie, which seemed extremely scientific, was rejected by the USB flash drive......

Chen Chen raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't believe it, and tried again.

But the result is still the same.

emmmm……

Chen Chen thought about it, took advantage of the USB flash drive not paying attention, and lightly clicked on the name "Rise of the Planet of the Apes .mp4", and suddenly the cursor flashed, and Chen Chen quickly changed it to "Dream of Red Mansions .mp4", and then quickly dragged it to the USB flash drive.

Boom!

Well, an attempt to fool the USB flash drive failed.

It seems that this movie does not conform to the core values of the USB flash drive.

Chen Chen shook his head helplessly, and without the slightest surprise, the first step failed.

In fact, as long as you know a little bit about biology, you can understand that the movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" does have a lot of pseudoscientific elements, such as the protagonist's father.

The protagonist's father is himself a mid-stage Alzheimer's disease patient, and in the middle stage, a large number of brain cells in this disease will die, and even if the remaining neurons are saved by ALZ-112, the brain function damage and memory loss caused by this disease are impossible to recover.

Therefore, it is impossible to achieve the situation in which the protagonist's father directly returns to a normal person in the movie.

Also, the reason why the human brain is smart is not only because of the degree of complexity, but also because of the size of the human brain, which is three times the capacity of the chimpanzee, so it is impossible for the chimpanzee in the movie to directly reach the level of human IQ.

In addition, even if there is a virus designed to modify the brain of a chimpanzee, this virus may not be able to modify the brain of other species of orangutans.

Just like ALZ-113, a virus that can increase the intelligence of chimpanzees but is lethal to humans, ALZ-113 is unlikely to have the effect of "enlightenment" not only in the movie, but also orangutans, gorillas, bonobos and other orangutans.

The origin of this movie is the ALZ-113 virus, without which nothing will happen, but this virus is beyond the capabilities of the real virus, could it be, this is the truth that the movie can't be dragged into the USB flash drive?

The origin of the movie?

Chen Chen thought about it and downloaded a movie again.

"Deep Sea Shark".

The film is also related to Alzheimer's disease, but it treats the symptoms by extracting proteins from the brains of sharks.

According to the practice in the movie, directly dropping a few drops of protein on brain cells can activate dead brain cells for 6 seconds, in Chen Chen's opinion, this is no longer science fiction but fantasy.

And the result did not surprise Chen Chen, and the move to drag "Deep Sea Shark" into the USB flash drive still failed.

Seeing that the first plan he envisioned was a complete failure, Chen Chen no longer thought about this, he plugged the USB flash drive back into the charging port, and then found an address book in his mobile phone.

After thinking about it, Chen Chen dialed the phone directly.

"Mr. Edwards?"

"I'm Chen Chen."

"I have a mission that I don't know if you'd be interested in accepting, it's about making a movie."

"Yes, the storyline is provided by me, I need a famous screenwriter, a famous director, and a group of famous movie stars to interpret the storyline I provide and successfully release it, at least 100 million box office."

"Of course, the sooner the better, and it is best not to exceed three months from the writing of the script to the release."

"I will invest the funds myself, 1000 information points, it is impossible to have more."

"Happy ...... cooperation"

Immediately, Chen Chen hung up the phone.

Chen Chen contacted a family named Edwards in North America.

The Edwards Consortium, a well-known financial giant on Wall Street, has industries including but not limited to electronics, optics, space, missiles and other electronic industries, and most importantly, the entertainment industry.

The Edwards family owns shares in more than 200 Hollywood studios, equivalent to one-fifth of Hollywood.

And Chen Chen contacted one of the three helmsmen of the Edwards family, and the member who came to participate in the meeting at that time, Robert Edwards.
