Chapter 290: DNA Data Storage Technology
Zhang Chen was very satisfied, he didn't expect Xiaozai to bring him such a big surprise. First\./Hair\./More\./New'.. Hand. Machine. edition
As for the other functional genes, Zhang Chen didn't plan to let them go.
One of the most attractive is the gene of brain domain development.
There's a reason why the boy is so smart.
At the genetic level, now that there are sequencing comparison results, it can be interpreted at the genetic level.
After these things are done.
Zhang Chen began to deal with the problem of DNA data storage technology.
DNA storage technology uses synthetic DNA as a storage medium.
Then, according to specific coding rules, data such as text, documents, pictures, and even sound and images are converted into DNA sequences.
This kind of storage technology is urgently needed in the current era of big data.
The amount of data across the globe is growing every year.
According to authoritative forecasts, by 2025, the global data volume will reach 175 zettabytes.
This unit of measurement is estimated to be not well understood by many people.
For example, 1 zeabyte saving is equal to 1024 exabytes, and 1 exabyte is equivalent to a high-definition video that can only be broadcast in 36,000 years.
It is expected that by 2035, the data volume will exceed 1,000 zettabytes.
With such a huge amount of data, there is generally no way to save it at all.
Even if the data of 175 zettabytes in 2025 is 175 zettabytes, about 98% of the data will not be saved.
And Zhang Chen sees new hope today, this DNA storage technology will bring a new dawn to data storage.
He didn't know how much data there was in the advanced database.
But Sun Tao told him that this database can only be brought by a computer blessed with the brain system.
It can be seen that the data of the advanced database will definitely not be less.
And such a huge amount of data, with a thing smaller than a USB flash drive, can be completely put down.
This made Zhang Chen a little surprised.
He searched accurately in the points mall.
It was found that this DNA storage product is not very expensive.
The specific selling price is related to the storage capacity, and the storage equipment with large reserves is more expensive.
The cheapest one only needs 100 points to store 1 Yaobyte of data.
1 Yao byte is 1024 zettabytes.
The starting capacity of the DNA storage equipment in the system is based on Yao.
This 100-point storage device can put down all the data of the entire earth in 2035.
Zhang Chen was overjoyed, the data storage market seemed to be completely monopolized by himself.
What Seagate Samsung hard drives, will become historical antiques.
After spending 100 points, Zhang Chen exchanged it for a mini USB flash drive the same size as storing a high-level database.
After the exchange, he immediately began to simulate the means of production.
Again, this surprised me again.
Because the points of this simulation have reached a terrifying 100,000 points.
This was the first time Zhang Chen had encountered this.
There is such a big difference between the price of the product and the cost of simulated means of production.
However, this is probably related to those storage devices that have a larger reserve.
He took a closer look, and the most expensive DNA storage device was sold for 10,000 points each.
In this way, it seems that the integration of this simulated means of production is also excusable.
However, after the simulation, it should be the means of production with the most high-end storage equipment.
Otherwise, Zhang Chen felt a little undrawn.
You still have to try it to find out.
Ruthlessly and directly spend 100,000 points, and the system will soon give a full set of production materials for DNA storage equipment.
He quickly flipped back until he saw that the information contained a storage device that cost 10,000 points, and then he was relieved.
100,000 points is not a small amount for the current Zhang Chen.
In fact, DNA synthesis is the key to this technology.
And DNA synthesis. (More exciting on the next page!) )
, which is the key common underlying technology of synthetic biology.
What Zhang Chen is learning now is synthetic biology, and the various synthesis technologies mentioned in it can just be applied to the production of this product.
The DNA storage device produced by the system, from research and development to application, is actually the result of the joint efforts of many people.
Compared with the current state of technology, the cost of DNA synthesis is too high.
This Zhang Chen can find a solution from the systematic version of "Synthetic Biology".
Some of the knowledge nodes he has learned are enough to solve this problem and ensure the accuracy of DNA synthesis.
Accuracy at the time of synthesis is the key to DNA storage technology.
Otherwise, the stored data may be lost.
In addition, reading data too slowly is actually a big problem with DNA storage technology.
Paired with a DNA storage device, there is a data identifier.
This product is worth 10,000 points, but it only takes 20,000 points to simulate its full set of production materials.
Zhang Chen casually simulated this set of production materials.
In fact, theoretically speaking, the current level of science and technology can completely use DNA to store some data.
It's just that the storage density is not high.
With today's technology, it takes about a kilogram of DNA to store the data of the world today.
The storage device produced by the system, the size of a small USB flash drive, the cheapest storage device, can store the world's data by 2035.
This storage technology is closely related to the intelligent brain system.
Now the brain system is blessed to ordinary computers.
It's a bit like using a cannon to fight mosquitoes, and it can't give full play to the advantages of the intelligent brain system.
Once there is DNA storage technology and identifier, massive data can be written into the brain system in a very short time.
In this way, we can give full play to the terrifying computing speed of the intelligent brain system.
Zhang Chen sorted out all the production materials of DNA storage products and identifiers.
A list of equipment and consumables is available.
However, some equipment and materials need to be manufactured through synthetic biology and the use of some other materials.
Before that, Zhang Chen also needed to produce these equipment and materials independently.
According to the supply feedback provided by Zhang Yue, he estimates that it will take about the middle of this month to complete these things.
This is also just in time to prepare all the equipment and materials before the completion of the park.
Once the plant is ready, it can be put into production immediately.
As for the research and development of this technology, it can be completely left to Bruce.
The old man of synthetic biology who dug up can now finally be entrusted with the important task.
With Bruce's experience in this area, he can completely provoke this girder.
Zhang Chen took the sorted production materials and found Bruce.
At this time, Bruce was discussing the problem with Yuan Pei.
And again, it's about bioenergy.
It seems that this academician from abroad is also more interested in the project of bioenergy.
Of course, Zhang Chen would not stop this kind of behavior.
As long as these elders want to, they can even take on multiple projects.
Discussions like this are more likely to move the project forward.
There are many times when someone else's casual words are likely to bring about an unexpected epiphany.
