Chapter 174: The Principle of Chained Databases
"After the chain database virus invades the brain tissue cells, it will intervene in the high-frequency genetic recombination process of brain cells, and insert into the original genetic material genome of brain nerve cells in the form of retropotons, and finally integrate into a part of the genetic material of brain cells.

"We call this phase 'database consolidation'!" Yang Xi said seriously.
"After completing this stage, the brain cells of the injector have database information, but because the brain cells do not have the property of being passed on to the next generation, the integration of the chain database is contemporary, and when a newborn is born, the injection must be re-administered!"
This is actually easy to understand, because brain cells are not germ cells, so even if they are integrated into brain cells, they cannot be passed on to the next generation.
Zhou Chen bowed slightly: "This kind of intrusion mechanism makes sense, but you haven't talked about the working principle of the chain database yet!" ”
"Don't worry, it's not a step-by-step process!"
Zhou Chen snorted, reached out and stroked a strand of loose hair on Yang Xi's shoulder, and said: "Seeing that you are serious, it feels like a play, so that the chain database exclusive to our earth also has hope of taking shape, can you not be excited?" ”
"Don't get excited, listen to me slowly!"
Yang Xi floated over and rolled his eyes, and said calmly: "After figuring out the invasion mechanism of the chain database, we obtained the relevant fragments of the chain database virus from the integrated brain tissue genetic material through gene sequencing. ”
"By analyzing these fragments and comparing the expression patterns of genes, we roughly divided the functional part of the chain database into several parts, such as promoters, operons, and database expression regions."
"I guess this database expression area is the key area that carries the various technological elements of the Odoto civilization, right?"
Zhou Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
These professional terms are familiar in the field of biology, but he knows that the promoter in Yang Xi's mouth is by no means a promoter in biology, and the operon here is unlikely to be the operon in biology.
As for the database expression region, this is not available in biology, but Zhou Chen can easily associate that this should be the technology of the Odo civilization!
Yang Xi nodded: "That's right, the scientific and technological achievements of the Oduo civilization are stored in the database expression area, but unfortunately, we haven't been able to decipher any information from it, it is kept secret by a strange encoding method, if you want to decipher it, you must know its encryption method!" ”
Zhou Chen nodded knowingly, thinking that this was normal.
No civilization would so easily expose what is a civilization's highest secret.
Next, Zhou Chen understood the role of promoters and operons from Yang Xi's words, the so-called promoter refers to the gene site that can directly activate the relevant technology in the database expression region, it is equivalent to a decryptor, when the outside world triggers it, it will decrypt the corresponding database area.
However, this decoder is usually blocked, and will only be activated when a certain stimulus arrives.
This stimulus is derived from the operon.
Because it can manipulate the control promoter, it is called an operon.
As for how the operon is activated, it comes from the fact that there are many feedback stimuli on the operon.
When we think about a problem, we think we are "thinking", but the process of thinking, or the whole process of thinking, may not be what we think is because our mind is active.
Could it be that our "thinking" is actually just the "result" of a group of complex substances interacting with each other, and we think that we are "thinking" ourselves?
The operon is marked with a variety of key biological discharge modes, which is equivalent to a complex pre-planning book, and when a person who has injected a chain database happens to think about a scientific problem, this discharge mode will feedback to stimulate the operon and activate the relevant parts on the operon.
The operon then acts on the promoter, and the promoter activates the designated position of the database expression area, and then presents the relevant knowledge to the biological discharge, which affects our way of thinking and allows us to see "knowledge".
This is a clear and simplified line, and of course there are many supporting components that are tightly controlled.
However, Zhou Chen can see that the project team led by Yang Xi has indeed conducted in-depth research on the chain database.
Even if there is no ability to decipher the complete technology tree of the Odo civilization now, these principles alone are actually enough to carry out research on the chain database that belongs to the Earth civilization itself.
As for whether it is really possible to decrypt the complete technology tree of the Odo civilization, in fact, Zhou Chen did not have much expectations.
The chain database is undoubtedly the culmination of the development of the life sciences of the Odo civilization, and in this universe, even if it is a civilization that is as high as the Odo civilization, I am afraid that it may not be able to decrypt its database.
"So is the integration of chained databases harmful to the host?" Putting aside the question of whether the database can be decrypted, Zhou Chen asked with interest.
"So far, the experiment has not found any obvious harm."
Yang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said in detail: "We selected pigs with the closest relationship with humans as experimental samples to do experiments, through the injection of a certain proportion of chain database, and then the tissues and organs and genetic indicators of pigs were analyzed in detail, and the results did not find any abnormalities. ”
"Several parallel experiments have been conducted, but none of the experimental samples have shown any anomalous conditions, even if the individual dies normally."
"Then we selected rats and mice for the experiment to do the passage experiment, after more than ten years of culture, from the first generation of injection of the chain database of the parents a total of one hundred and five generations, the first forty generations of each generation of selection of thirty experimental groups, each experimental group of eight experimental mice counted, a total of about 10,000 experimental mice, the subsequent sixty-five generations of each generation of ten experimental groups, the same eight experimental mice in each experimental group counted, a total of 5,000 mice."
"We have done a rigorous organic and genetic analysis of these 15,000 mice, and no obvious adverse phenomena have been found in them."
"This shows that the security of the chained database is tried."
Speaking of this, Yang Xi pulled Zhou Chen's hand as if he was invited, and said with a bright expression: "How about it, I have explained the principle clearly now, should I be given a vice president?" ”
Zhou Chen groaned and asked strangely, "Since you have figured out the principle, why did I see you still discussing together when I came here just now?" Is there still an unsolved problem that you deliberately don't say? ”
"Why!" Yang Xi raised his eyebrows, as if he was very unhappy with Zhou Chen's suspicions.
"We're going to overcomplete the task, the principle of the chain database has been figured out, but the cryptographic mechanism of the Odo civilization still can't be cracked, and we think that the hope of cracking it in the future is not very great, so instead of this, it's better to give up directly......"
"That's what I thought." Yang Xi opened his lips and gave his thoughts: "I think it's time to start the research and development of our own chain database, although our scientific and technological reserves are still relatively small, but at least the chain database has a good role in improving people's learning efficiency." ”
"And the development of a chained database will definitely be accompanied by various difficulties, so it is better to start late than early!"
"Are you going to apply for the project?" Zhou Chen frowned and asked.
"yes!"
"Cai Xiaoxi's research on life extension is said to have made a very big breakthrough, and if I don't work hard here, I will fall behind."
Zhou Chen couldn't help laughing and said, "What are you okay to compare with her?" ”
"Hmph, I'm setting a benchmark for myself, so it's challenging!" Yang Xi's clothes fluttered, and the white coat on her body fluttered gently with her head raised.
Zhou Chen shook his head, but he didn't dampen Yang Xi's enthusiasm.
Instead, he asked, "By the way, you did so many experiments, those experimental rats and mice, and the pigs that were injected with the chain database, how did they end up with it?" ”
"Immediate and humane destruction!" Yang Xi looked at Zhou Chen in some surprise, not knowing why he would ask such an idiotic question.
This is injected into a chained database!
It is not necessary that rats, mice, and pigs will be more intelligent than humans, but if a "new species" is born because of their own carelessness, it will be too troublesome.
Moreover, pigs, as animals closest to humans, are not allowed to do any virus experiments in principle, because once the virus enters the pig's body, it is easy to infect people if it mutates.
Therefore, all biochemical experiments in the Earth Fleet are operated by robots in an isolated state, and after the experiment is over, all experimental samples must be directly incinerated and destroyed.
"Well, the safety measures must be done well, and it is better to have an unsuccessful experiment than to create trouble."
Zhou Chen smiled and told Yang Xi. (To be continued.) )
