Chapter 39: Genes
After visiting the biological laboratory, everyone chatted enthusiastically. "Da Shuai and Zhiqi have been praising you in my ear, and they are almost hearing the cocoon. Do you see anything in this circle? Wen Lin asked with a smile on her face.
Chen Zhang and Lin Sen already knew from their minds that this was a genetic computer, and they looked at it carefully with thirst for knowledge at the beginning, and after glancing at each other, they put out the five big words "gene computer" in the air through magnets.
"Yes, this is the magnet you developed, I heard the boss mention it." Although I have heard about magnets, I am still shocked to see it with my own eyes, "The answer is very accurate, many people's understanding of genetic engineering stays in the fields of gene sequencing and disease treatment, and genetic computers belong to the cutting-edge technology of genetic engineering, and it seems that you are involved in a wide range of fields." ”
"We had just come out of a dead end and were faced with a huge wall. After reading Aunt Lin's genetic computer, you may be able to find inspiration in this field. ”
"Do you want to explore the generation of consciousness? Tell us about your understanding of it? ”
"Self-adaptability to environmental change."
Wen Lin nodded with satisfaction: "Based on neural networks and deep learning, algorithms can also reflect this ability, but when dealing with complex problems in more dimensions, more powerful computing power is required, and quantum computers and gene computers are two different exploration directions based on silicon-based life and carbon-based life." What you have just seen is the highest level of genetic computing, which involves technologies such as neuronal brains, DNA computing, nanorobots, and DNA storage. But so far, there is no way to achieve self-upgrading and iteration in the true sense, and human intervention is still needed, and it is not awareness. ”
Zhou Zhiqi said: "Since it is to serve human beings, I think that human intervention is not a bad thing, but it is necessary to distinguish the difference between intervention and manipulation. ”
"With the current capabilities of genetic computers, it can indeed help you solve some complex computing problems in more dimensions." Wen Lin looked at Zhou Zhiqi after speaking: "Zhiqi, this is your strength, if you don't work hard, you will be caught up by others." ”
Regarding Lin Sen's willingness to get involved in genes, Zhou Zhiqi was surprised and delighted, and said shyly: "Mom, I don't know if others have caught up with me, I just know that I have been chasing you." ”
"You see, now there's a place for you." Wen Lin looked at the happy Zhou Zhiqi, and her heart was much more steady.
"With the current level of science and technology, as long as the results are known, it is not difficult to reverse the process, but it is difficult to form a complete set of system engineering. The hardware and software of the gene computer are the gene map, and we have the gene map of the whole species. Modern warfare takes place not only in the macroscopic real world, the virtual world, but also in the microscopic genetic world. Our genetic technology, coupled with magneton technology, can build a defense system based on macro and micro levels. ”
"Genetic war? Does it refer to biological warfare? ”
Zhou Zhiqi replied: "Yes, for example, what we usually refer to as virus transmission, through the invasion of artificially created viruses, the first wave is to attack the immune system, causing the first damage. Even if the immune system eventually defeats the virus, using the storage properties of DNA, the human-edited gene fragments carried by the virus will be recorded into the DNA by our immune system and contaminated our DNA, and the purpose of DNA contamination can also be achieved through genetically modified crops. By burying this artificially edited gene, it can be activated from the host under certain conditions, so as to achieve a certain purpose. ”
"These artificially edited genes are weapons in the microcosm, and the genetic wars that take place in the microcosm. At this stage, you can start with neuronal brains and DNA computing, and try to make general-purpose encoders and decoders that connect silicon-based and carbon-based lives to improve computing power, which is also the topic of our current research, and take precautions. ”
"Good!"
