Chapter 3: Whims
Little Mengsheng has a quirk and likes to be with kittens! The puppies are together, not only hugging the cats and dogs intimately, but also talking to the cats and dogs.
Xiao Mengsheng also has a strange thing, he asks any strange questions, and the adults don't say anything, and it makes you cry and laugh.
For example, he asks his older friends who play with: Why is the child born to the mother and not the father? Can mom have a baby without a dad?
The little friend couldn't answer his question, only shook his head and grinned.
He also often asked his parents this question, which made them unable to answer.
When he didn't get a satisfactory answer, he pouted and got angry and muttered.
"You are all treacherous and refuse to tell me, I will find the answer myself when I grow up."
Dream students go to middle school, except for listening to lectures and eating books. He also has a strong interest in experiments, often sneaking out of the classroom during class, sneaking into the school laboratory unprepared, and sneaking into the experimental equipment.
He is talented and intelligent, and he understands the principles of those experimental instruments at a glance, and he can operate them at a glance. As long as you glance at it a few times and touch it a few times, you can use the instrument with complex structural principles with ease.
When he was in high school, he had the whim to make "Artificial Life" to create small animals.
Artificial life is the dream of scientists, and countless scientists have succeeded one generation after another in order to realize their dreams.
Twelve-year-old high school students actually want to engage in artificial life, which is simply whimsical in the eyes of experts---。
After the idea of giving birth to a dream, I was fascinated and thought about how to realize the dream of artificial life.
In order to realize his dream, he listened to the lectures of the three academicians of the Central Imperial Academy of Sciences on "Nanotechnology", "Genetic Engineering" and "Artificial Life".
After listening to the lecture, Mengsheng was inspired to design a "bioprinter", which is an unprecedented innovative product.
Bioprinters
As the name suggests, it is a machine for printing organisms, and several major countries in the world are concentrating manpower and material resources on the research and development of bioprinters---。
Mengsheng designed a bioprinter and asked his father to arrange for the Kyoto Group to manufacture it.
Wang Zhongxing looked at his son's design and couldn't understand the principle, so he recruited Zhao Gongming, the chief scientist of the group, for consultation.
"Dr. Zhao, my 12-year-old son who is in high school wants to engage in artificial life, what kind of "bioprinter" he actually designed, in my opinion, it is whimsical, please you and a few experts, evaluate this design, is there any applicable value?"
Zhao Gongming is a versatile scientist, he is an academician of the Central Imperial Academy of Sciences, and is employed by the Imperial Kyoto Group.
He led a team of experts from the Kyoto Group to create a series of high-tech products for the group, and the group's prosperity depends on continuous product innovation and upgrading, and his team is also developing the "Bioprinter".
Zhao Gongming received the task assigned by the head of the group and worked with the team to evaluate the whimsical design of the dream---。
The genius of Mengsheng is well known, and his legendary story is like thunder.
Therefore, the team of experts led by Zhao Gongming is not surprised that he was able to design a bioprinter.
This is a new creative design, and it was a huge challenge for the team to evaluate the "fit for purpose" of the bioprinter.
The experts searched separately on the Internet to find out if there were any papers on the "Bioprinter", and the search results, although several countries were also developing them, did not find valuable information.
Zhao Gongming's team booked a table of dinner at the Kyoto Hotel, and the only guest to entertain was the world-famous Mengsheng, accompanied by his father Wang Zhongxing.
Zhao Gongming's team had only one purpose for entertaining, to discuss his genius design with Xiao Mengsheng.
Wang Zhenyu, a dreamer, drove his father, came to the Kyoto Hotel, parked the car in the hotel parking lot, and the father and son held hands to climb to the third floor and walked into the dining room of Chang'e Palace.
Zhao Gongming's team, the father and son who saw it, walked into the dining room and immediately got up to greet each other.
Wang Zhongxing waved his hand and invited everyone to sit down.
After taking a seat, Zhao Gongming's assistant Liu Shuwang beckoned the waiter to serve wine and food.
After the wine and food come up!
Zhao Gongming raised his glass and looked at the immature face of the 12-year-old Mengsheng.
"Today's banquet for Mengsheng to discuss a scientific and technological question, where does the inspiration for the design of bioprinters come from? What is the principle? So that our team can make an accurate assessment of its application value, and we will have a drink together. ”
Cheers after!
Everyone's eyes were focused on Mengsheng's body, expecting him to answer.
Mengsheng clicked his eyelids, made a grimace, and said in a flamboyant tone.
"My design came from a dream, and in my deep sleep, I dreamed of an old man with fairy wind bones, floating into the room from the window and coming to my bed. The old man smiled and said to me, your brain is a zhishi library, and you have to use the knowledge base to invent and create. ”
"I asked, what do you have for inventions? The old man smiled kindly, artificial life is a cutting-edge scientific and technological topic explored and developed by developed countries, you can make achievements in this area, and be prepared to meet the challenges of the future. ”
"I asked how to prepare? The old man said, you design a "bioprinter" and collect "life factors", that is, the raw materials of artificial life, after saying this, he floated away, and I woke up. ”
The old man's words were like a magnet, tugging at my nerves, and I couldn't sleep anymore. Look up at the wall clock on the wall, one o'clock in the morning. ”
"The old man's words inspired me, I hurriedly got up, got dressed, and I began to design, the principle is to use life factors to print organisms."
Zhao Gongming patted Mengsheng's head cordially and said. "Bioprinters, the use of life raw materials, printing life, raw materials are everywhere in nature, is the birth of the earth 4 billion years of evolution, inexhaustible, printing biological objective conditions are available, it depends on whether the printing technology is mature."
"Uncle Zhao, the technical problem can't stop me, I don't have the energy to collect the raw materials of life, ask Uncle Zhao to solve it."
"This is not difficult, you can reach out to my assistant Liu Shuwang and ask for it."
Hearing this, Liu Shuwang looked at Mengsheng and grinned. "Little brother Zhenyu, don't be embarrassed, ensure that the supply is met."
Under the guidance of Zhao Gongming, the Kyoto Group produced a bioprinter, which was the first of its kind in the world.
After the bioprinter was produced, Mengsheng sat in front of the computer to compile and print biological programs.
Through the program, the bioprinter is manipulated to print out the living body.
After the program was compiled, Liu Shuwang collected the materials according to the list of biological materials proposed by Mengsheng and sent them to Mengsheng's laboratory.
The laboratory was built according to Mengsheng's concept, and the experimental equipment was purchased according to the list he proposed, and everything was for the advent of artificial life.
Mengsheng sat in front of the computer and put all kinds of life elements needed to print creatures into the bioprinter, so that they could grow creatures under the command of the computer program.
With everything ready, connect the bio to the computer and press Enter. Dream was born in the quiet of the long night, accompanied by the ticking sound of the pendulum, watching the bioprinter running, staying up! Stay up! Stay up! ---。
As dawn came, the raindrops frantically struck the lattice, and Yume was ready to turn off the fluorescent lamps and sleep.
At the moment when he reached for the light switch, suddenly, Mengsheng saw that the body that had been programmed and designed was like an earthworm, but it was not like it.
At the exit of the bioprinter, I struggled to crawl out, second by second, hard to climb! Crawl! It's like a baby on the verge of childbirth, arching out from its mother's womb.
Crawling out of the printer's exit, opening cloudy eyes, chest heaving and breathing evenly, limbs convulsing spasmodically, a new creature was created.
The creatures printed by the bioprinter are different from the species that evolved in nature, and a living artificial animal is displayed in front of the dream.
The printing creature was successful, and Mengsheng was extremely excited, dancing and jumping with joy in the laboratory---。
As he jumped, he thought that it was not magic to produce "Artificial Creatures" on Earth by printing life based on the knowledge of biology, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and related disciplines he had mastered.
Then I thought that in order to realize artificial life, the first step to make a simple life form is to master the "life switch". When this step is successful, the foundation is laid for the creation of new species, including organisms with human nature, which can be produced using bioprinters.
If a person is born, he can inoculate everyone with "Life Auxin" on his back, so that human beings can photosynthesize themselves like plants and produce energy to feed themselves.
Although he didn't sleep all night, the successful dream of the printed creature was extremely excited, and he didn't feel a little sleepy.
After breakfast!
Mengsheng personally drove Zhao Gongming's team to the laboratory to show his creative achievements.
When the parents heard the news, they also came to the laboratory to appreciate the life created by their son.
Zhao Gongming saw the artificial life printed by the bioprinter, a nondescript creature with a translucent body and placed in a glass tank.
"You've succeeded in your dreams, it's amazing! Terrific! ”
"Uncle Zhao, I just created a life switch, although I am proud, but I am still far from the ideal goal. For example, print large animals, print people. ”
"So, the first step in your research project is to invent artificial life "Switch? Can I understand it that way? Dream Born! ”
Mengsheng laughed loudly, and the laughter rushed out of the window from the house one by one.
"Uncle Zhao understands and makes me proud."
The first step of artificial creatures, Wang Zhenyu created "Life Switch", Zhao Gongming was infected and smiled heartily. "Excellent! Very good! You have a bright future ahead of you, keep fighting and become a great biologist. ”
"I am on a whim to create an artificial life switch, Uncle Zhao, this is not my ambition."
Hearing this, Zhao Gongming was stunned, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Wang Zhenyu with admiration and asked.
"What are your ambitions?"
"Some big people on the planet, who control a multinational group or the power of a country, claim to be the king and hegemon, and oppress the weak. I read Qu Yuan's "Lisao", I was educated, and I had an idea that I wanted to be a "fighter" and fight against the evil and powerful people who dominate the king. ”
To be a fighter and fight against the evil hegemon and powerful person, from the mouth of a 12-year-old boy, everyone present was shocked.
Zhao Gongming's heart fluctuated, and his eyes became more and more eager when he looked at Mengsheng, and even said with a hint of excitement.
"Excellent! Very good! For a long time, the international community has been in turmoil, some powerful people are ambitious, they have monopolized the market, and they have become kings and hegemons in the political arena, making the people's lives miserable. The great "Fighter", against oppression, plunder, aggression. ”
