Chapter 444: The Dawn of Artificial Starch

On June 20, the International Space Joint Conference was held as scheduled.

The meeting lasted five days, during which the bosses from all over the world held several rounds of consultations, frankly exchanged views, and finally reached an important consensus that was hailed by the media as "deciding the fate of mankind".

That is, human civilization has entered a new historical stage of star civilization.

At the meeting, it was clearly stated that mankind should abandon confrontation in the fields of interstellar exploration and space development, and at the same time establish an effective cooperation mechanism to undertake the common program of pushing the entire human civilization to a higher and happier future.

Based on this program, a number of space-oriented organizations have been abolished and a new military organization of the "Joint Defense Convention for Human Space" has been established.

The organization will set up two base camps, the base camp of the earth will be permanently located in Shanghai, and the base camp of space will be permanently located on the moon - the space base.

At the same time, the meeting also announced the establishment of a joint scientific expedition team of Azure Star to lay the foundation for mankind's future interstellar colonization plan.

In addition, the meeting also put forward cooperation plans in various fields such as energy and food, and set the goal of comprehensively solving the problem of global human hunger within five years.

In the end, a group photo of the leader in the center and Mao Mei standing beside him was used as a news picture by all the media in all countries and in a unified voice.

When the press release was issued, the entire Internet immediately fell into a boil.

……

In Ye Ming's office, Zhou Xiangnan was taking his two sons to Ye Ming.

Well...... His twin sons, who are more than three years old this year, especially enjoy playing with Yin Ta.

And Yin Ta, who also likes human cubs very much, has a lot of fun with the two little guys.

"From now on, our national flag will probably never be separated from the C position again." Zhou Xiangnan smiled at Ye Ming.

"That's inevitable." Ye Ming held the teacup and looked at the other party with a smile - he could probably guess what Zhou Xiangnan was thinking about when he came to find him.

Since the establishment of the new "Taiyue" and the announcement of the formation of a joint scientific expedition team to go to the blue star, almost everyone's minds in the brain-computer center have been activated.

Let's put it this way, face the temptation of the afterglow of another interstellar civilization, but anyone who is a scientific researcher cannot refuse.

Don't look at Zhou Xiangnan's usual slogans, saying that he refuses to roll up and boycotts overtime, but he arranges a lot of work for his graduate students - this guy is really a madman in materials science.

Well...... It may also have something to do with Sheng Fei being under the same roof.

At present, Sheng Fei has become the academic leader of a new generation of materials science in China, the kind that carries the handle, and as a scholar in the same field, he naturally has a competitive mind.

At the very least, it must also become a "double gem".

For example, Sheng Fei's group has given birth to a new material known as artificial muscle, which has extremely high strength at the same time, but also has strong plasticity and wear resistance. According to Sheng Fei's vision, this artificial muscle material can also be used to replace the mechanical prosthesis as a human in the future.

But Zhou Xiangnan believes that according to the current conditions, biological materials are still almost meaningless.

However, after Ye Ming proposed that the technology tree of the Azure Star People had reached the biological realm, his mind became active.

Using the biotechnology of the Blue Star people to achieve the re-evolution of human biological science - even if it is only speculation at present, once successful, it will definitely push humanity itself to a high level again.

You say, how could he want to miss this kind of opportunity?

It's just that......

Everyone knows that Ye Ming's back door is the most difficult to get through.

Zhou Xiangnan looked at Ye Ming with burning eyes: "Mr. Ye, whether it's a joint scientific expedition or something, we must be in a leading position, right?" ”

"Well, of course." Ye Ming was not in a hurry, and said to the other party with a smile: "Although the final candidate and plan have not yet been determined, our people must account for at least two-thirds." ”

"Hmm...... What kind of specialization is required? ”

"Astronomy, cosmology is definitely needed, and then biology, medicine, geology, archaeology, mechanics, nuclear physics, and so on."

"What about the materials? Not in the field of materials? Zhou Xiangnan said with some eagerness: "You see how ingenious the design of the blue star's spaceship is......"

"I think that's it, besides, the preliminary analysis has come out, and it's just a high-temperature resistant steel."

"Uh...... What do you call it......"

Ye Ming couldn't help but laugh when he saw him looking anxious: "Old Zhou, are you willing to give up your son?" ”

"What am I reluctant to do?" Zhou Xiangnan glanced at his son, who was playing around Yin Ta and didn't know anything about his surname: "Is this the time to talk about the love of children?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Ye Ming smiled and shook his head.

He just said that, of course, on purpose – how could it be that an expert in the field of materials science is not needed?

If nothing else, the carrier materials of the biological circuit channels on the spacecraft are currently unknown.

And at present, the field of chip biomaterials is hot, and Zhou Xiangnan is one of the authorities in this field - in the eyes of outsiders, perhaps Professor Sheng Fei's reputation and achievements are better, but in the brain-computer center, everyone actually knows that Zhou Xiangnan is not inferior to Sheng Fei in terms of scientific sense of smell and ability.

All he lacked was a bit of luck.

It's just that this kind of thing of crossing the wormhole for the first time is really not as simple as heaven.

"Lao Zhou, don't get excited, go back and think about it, and then wait until the specific preparation notice comes down."

"You mean to let me go to PK?"

Ye Ming was happy when he heard the word PK: "How can the consideration of the organization be called PK?" It must be considered comprehensively...... And even I can't open the back door! ”

Zhou Xiangnan was unconvinced when he heard this: "Nonsense...... And what about Mogu? ”

As his words fell, Mo Gu's voice came from outside the door: "Lao Zhou is looking for me?" Still chewing on the root of the tongue......"

Zhou Xiangnan turned around and saw Mogu standing at the door, looking at him with a smile on his face.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Seeing Zhou Xiangnan leave with the two babies, Mogu shook his head with a smile.

"Looking for you to open the back door?"

"Hmm."

"No wonder, I have always seen him take his son with him these days, probably because he wants to stay with the child for a while longer." Mo Gu straightened his hair and sighed softly: "His lover has not been in a good mood for the past two days, and it seems that he has discussed it at home. ”

"If you have a family, you must not be so free. But how to say it...... Actually, this kind of opportunity...... Don't talk about you, I don't want to miss it either. Ye Ming also sighed as he spoke.

Mogu chuckled.

These days, she is in a particularly good mood.

The first is that Ye Ming agreed to her past - of course, there is a premise that the country wants to propose this plan, and secondly, the country really proposed this plan, and she is still the only person who is currently determined.

Therefore, there was Zhou Xiangnan's very unconvincing rhetorical question before.

"Forget it, stay here honestly, and wait for us pioneers to make the wayβ€”isn't there a space city? Do you have a plan? ”

"Nope!" As soon as he talked about the space city, Ye Ming became depressed.

Before, when the probe had not yet flown to the blue star, he had the idea of traveling to the sky under Peng Xiaofei's show-off and bewitchment - it is conceivable that the resistance is extremely great.

Even his father drew a line and told him to tie the knot first!

This means of urging marriage...... It's also absolute.

Well...... Fortunately, I didn't say hugging my grandson.

But with the discovery of the Azure Star, Ye Ming suddenly found that he had no interest in going to space.

If you want to go, you must also cross a wormhole!

That's three million light-years when you close your eyes!

What scientist do you think can resist this temptation?

Chaowen said, it's okay to die at night!

"Sister Mo, don't show off, be careful that I resolutely oppose it." After being depressed, Ye Ming stared at Mogu and snorted softly: "How is the sequencing work over there?" ”

"Hmm...... I'm here to tell you about it. As soon as she mentioned the matter, Mo Gu's expression became serious, she folded her legs and crossed Erlang's legs, propped her hands on her knees, and looked at Ye Ming: "Today, the engineering robot has sampled a lot of plants and returned, and plans to cooperate with the text decipherment team to classify the creatures." ”

Ye Ming nodded and motioned for Mogu to continue.

β€”β€”Since the discovery of the "dead language" of the Blue Star civilization, the focus of the entire scientific research work has been fully shifted to the decipherment of the text.

And this part of the work is divided into two directions and multiple fields.

The first direction is to re-encode the text information through those drawing boards with drawings, especially those with drawings of plants and animals, and then cooperate with the collection of information on animals and plants.

The second direction is to start with basic disciplines.

To be precise, start with math.

Because in this universe, no matter how the biological form and physical rules change, mathematics is the same.

No matter what calculation symbols are used by the Blue Star People, what base system is used, and what form of expression is used...... 1+1 must be equal to 2, this is a self-evident truth.

Now the progress in these two directions is very fast, especially in the second direction, with the assistance of Yin Ta - yes, Ye Ming authorized Yin Ta to retrieve the most core data in his own name, and use her computing core to conduct infinite exhaustive analysis of the data.

Well...... By the way, Ye Ming asked Yin Ta a long time ago and asked her if she knew the words of Canglan Star. Yin Ta's answer was that there was no information about Blue Star in the permissions and data given to her by the system.

Not even she has any information outside of human civilization.

This also proves in a sense that at the beginning of Yin Ta's birth, it was indeed a bit of a "tabula rasa".

With the access of over-distance communication, the current Yinta has completely copied the database of Aita, and can call the computing power of the system to perform calculations and feedback the results to Aita.

The computing power of the system, of course, is not comparable to the current quantum computing unit of Aita, and she can use super simulations to give results in minutes, so the progress is extremely fast. At present, the basic arithmetic symbols and numbers of the Blue Star civilization have been deduced - the Blue Star people use the octal system.

However, the progress of mathematics does not contribute much to the decipherment of the entire writing system, and it mainly depends on the content of the paintings.

Therefore, these days, Mogu's biological team has been collecting and cataloguing animals and plants.

"Animals, we don't dare to touch any other creatures except microorganisms now, so as not to pollute the environment in the cabin. But the plants, we collected them and analyzed them. ”

Ye Ming nodded: "Is there anything new?" ”

"Possibly." Mogu nodded slightly: "We found a lot of small animals gathered together under a tall tree species and sucked the gel secreted by it. ”

Ye Ming was slightly stunned: "Plant secretions? This one...... Shouldn't be unusual, right? ”

The reason why Ye Ming said this is, of course, because of this phenomenon...... There are many on the earth.

Let's not talk about the "milk tree", just the rubber tree...... It is all over the world, and even promoted the progress of industry, and natural rubber is still used in many fields today.

Then on the Azure Star, it is natural to find a gel that secretes edible gels.

"But this gel contains natural enzymes."

Ye Ming was stunned again, and then his eyes burnedβ€”since Mo Gu came to him solemnly, it was obviously not a matter of common sense.

Yes, natural enzymes are not uncommon on earth, and many edible plants and animals have natural food enzymes, which affect the state of food all the time - such as the natural acid removal and tenderization of fruits after picking and cooling meat.

Moreover, the enzymes mentioned by Mogu are obviously the standards adopted by the earth.

"You say, what enzyme?"

"Enzymes that catalyze photosynthesis." Mo Gu exhaled softly: "The result of the experiment is ribulose-1,5-bisphosphatecarboxylase. ”

"Huh?" Ye Ming's voice instantly raised: "What about the content?" ”

"Very high."

"Wait!"

Ye Ming's eyebrows instantly raised.

In order to improve his theoretical level, he completed all the undergraduate and even graduate courses in the entire biological and medical disciplines - otherwise he would not be hailed as an all-round genius.

Although he usually claims that "I don't know much", what he says by "I don't understand much" only means that he is not engaged in the field of work.

You say he really doesn't understand...... That's a joke.

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphatecarboxylase is currently the biggest obstacle in the human process of artificial starch!

If...... The yield of this thing can be made into natural rubber......

"You can really be sure of it first?"

"OK β€” I know what you're thinking, but I think we should be more concerned about the biology of the little animals that eat this enzyme-containing gel." Mo Gu's eyes sparkled: "You say, is there a possibility that these animals, they can synthesize food by eating this enzyme?" Even, they can photosynthesize? ”

Ye Ming exhaled lightly, and then nodded slowly.

He knew that the flora and fauna on this planet could not be simply understood by the earth's biosphere.
