Chapter Thirty-Seven: Failure in the Mission, Glory in Defeat [Ask for Recommendation Votes!] 】
Xue Wang browsed the information quickly, but the more he looked at it, the more cold he felt.
"Artificial life" is a very "new" technology, and on May 20, 2010, a scientific research team from a private research institute in the United States announced this achievement to the world.
This work was first carried out in 1995 and was not completed until 2010.
Fifteen years may not be a long time for the course of science. But for a project, for the people who do the project, it is no longer easy to run a super long marathon.
However, even so, their so-called "artificial life" is not completely artificial, they only make one thing, the DNA of this cell.
The DNA they made themselves replaced the original DNA in the cell, and after the replacement was completed, the cell was still able to reproduce normally, which means that their research was successful.
As it happens, the cells they were trying to create were all mycoplasma, which was undoubtedly good news.
Although there was not much time left for the mission, Xue Wang still wanted to keep trying.
He followed suit and basically repeated the group's experimental procedures.
Based on the DNA of Mycoplasma fungoplasma fungus sequenced by the experimental team, he synthesized it into one DNA fragment after another according to the sequence information, and when all the fragments were synthesized, all the fragments were spliced together to form the full-length genome of Mycoplasma funcoplasma.
At this point, the DNA can be said to be manufactured.
"Thirty-nine minutes left......"
"Twenty-three minutes left......"
"Nine minutes left......"
The task technique time in Xue Wang's brain began to gradually increase, and the sense of oppression became more and more sufficient.
But Xue Wang didn't pay attention to this, and all his energy was focused on synthesizing DNA fragments.
Although he was a little too rude when making amino acids, he still found a convenient and labor-saving way to make DNA fragments after experiencing protein synthesis and now making DNA fragments.
Although the process was not very fast and not very comfortable, it felt like embroidering cross-stitch to Xue Wang, or weaving patterns with several colored ropes of different colors.
As long as you knit according to the map, you can complete it.
"Fifty-three seconds left......"
Xue Wang's first DNA fragment has been synthesized to the last section.
Under his obsessive eye, this piece of DNA, though short, was extremely subtle.
"Ten seconds left......
In the last section, there is only one node left.
"One second left......"
DNA fragment synthesis successful!
When Xue Wang was sincerely proud of himself, he received a system prompt, "The mission failed." ”
However, despite the failure of the mission, it was still a failure.
I, Xue Wang, act, why should I be dominated by the system?
I'm not Paplov's dog, I react to everything instinctually.
I never thought about smoothing out that uneven red dot on WeChat.
I've never been watching small videos all the time, and I can't stop watching time.
Why is it that when the system gives me a task, I have to pounce like a dog, catch the owner's thrown frisbee, and wag my tail and wait for the reward like a handout.
Xue Wang almost never experienced the meaninglessness of wasting time.
I see, I learn, I gain.
He won't be like some people who play games all day, turn off the computer and feel lost, reflect on the fact that he wasted a day and did nothing, and swear that he will not play games tomorrow! The next day, I still turned on the computer on time and started the game on time.
Although the mission failed, Xue Wang felt that he had gained a lot.
"Mission: Find the sprout of life!
Duration of the mission: forty-eight hours.
Task Status: Failed.
Analyze the cause of task failure......
Dynamically adjust the difficulty of the task......
Difficulty adjustment......"
"Mission: Create the sprout of life!
[Indelible will is the foundation of civilization progress; Never-ending curiosity is the greatest exploration! 】
Duration of the mission: 100 days;
Current Progress: 0/1;
Complete the progression to obtain the Planet Level 3 Chest.
Current total civilization value: 220.
Note: The final interpretation right belongs to the system. ”
"Huh?"
Xue Wang looked at the updated task prompt and was a little puzzled, "No punishment?" And that's the end of it? ”
He silently read the words like chicken soup with a slogan, as if he had realized something.
Is this system a task that was modified because of its own practices and ideas? The task issued by the system is not to aimlessly torture the person who owns the system, but has a clear purpose, such as creating civilization?
If the purpose of this system is really to create civilization, and it also has the knowledge and ability to act to create civilization, why not do it on its own? Instead, ask yourself to do it?
If you can create a civilization with such a magical system, create your own civilization and make it simple.
Don't......
What rules restrict them from creating civilization directly, and they can only do so through this indirect method?
If that's the case......
Could it be that his sphere is not just a virtual existence, but a real planet in a corner of the universe?
Everything you do will be mapped to the real planet through the projection of this ball?
If that's the case, it's as if you've become the creator of this planet.
It's just that...... The earth under your feet, there is no such master?
Xue Wang thought of this divergently, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
In the moment of cold sweat, he thought of even more......
Human civilization may be the civilization created by the owner of the earth in order to increase the value of civilization.
Xue Wang also knew that this was just his own wild speculation and blind thinking, but he still felt a strong sense of insecurity.
That's too conspiracy, isn't it......
He laughed a few times like a barbell, still remembering the task that had been postponed to a hundred days.
Although 100 days may seem like a long time, it took the American team 15 years to complete the artificial DNA replacement.
Even if the trial is repeated, it will definitely take a lot of time.
Although he can control many aspects of the ball, he can also see the structure of DNA or proteins directly.
But...... It is almost impossible to accomplish this task on your own.
Xue Wang's gaze fell on his mammoth head gold, why should I do it myself? Why not find a professional to do it?
Even if you burn money in scientific research, your own mammoth elephant head gold is enough to burn for a while.
As for where to find professionals?
Xue Wang remembered the UP master who edited his video, which seemed to be called "E. coli grows slowly".
