For scientists in the normal world, the most troublesome thing about DNA storage is that whether it is inputting information into chess or reading information out of it, the equipment required is extremely complicated and takes a long time.
The efficiency is very low and there is no way to be compatible with existing computer systems.
There is nothing to say about the efficiency of DNA itself in storing information. This molecular-level storage efficiency has surpassed almost all existing storage devices.
But biologists in this world do not have this problem. After understanding the gene sequence, Frank Lee can already directly read the gene sequence. This is after they completed the sequencing of a complete gene. Frank Lee
Ability mastered.
In other words, he might not be unable to read it before, but he could sense it, but he couldn't match the number, couldn't tell which base was which, or even which one was DNA. But now he can directly read genes,
You can also edit and write directly. This means that for him, reading or writing is not a problem.
As for copying and backing up, this is the simplest thing for DNA, because self-replication is almost the instinct of this material, and there is almost no need for modification in this aspect to achieve the effect of a normal information storage device.
And this information can be injected into human cells. It may only require a few cells. This information can be stored and carried with you. It is more convenient than things like mobile phones. As long as you are a biologist,
You can read the huge information stored in your body at any time. Maybe one finger can hold the entire library.
It is a pity that biologists will not be contaminated by the hidden sages. Otherwise, the hidden sages will be crazily pouring knowledge into their minds, and the biologists will convert the knowledge poured into their minds into base codes and store them in their own cells.
In the body, I am afraid that the hidden sage may empty out his own knowledge, but it may not be able to fill a person full.
After Lan Nuo thought about the feasibility, he immediately informed Frank Lee of his idea: "When you store information, you must also remember to classify the information and make a directory to facilitate your own retrieval. You should know that the directory is
What concept.
In the future, if you store a huge library of information in your body, you will need to retrieve the required information. Otherwise, you will have to read all the information every time, and you will not be able to extract useful information a few times.
.
And you can put the information fragments you need in the directory. Then let it transcribe a piece of RNA when needed, because the base pairs themselves match each other. It will automatically find the corresponding fragment in your database.
field, and then fit it together. If you continue to look back from this position, you will find the piece of information you need to search for."
"Wonderful!" Frank Lee hadn't thought about this at all before. His talent was more in biology, and he was very inexperienced in how to manage a database. At this time, he realized that he still seemed to have too many things.
Need to learn.
Lan Nuo thought more than him. Since biologists can easily store information through cells, can they perform calculations through cells?
Logically speaking, the conventional way of computing through cells is to build a structure like the human brain, that is, complex neurons, and then realize the calculation of information through the interaction between each neuron.
But with this method of calculation, the information is not stored inside the cells, but in the neural network. In other words, the accuracy of the neural network of the human brain is actually far lower than that of the chip. After all, the size of the cell is much larger.
Far beyond the molecular level, the accuracy of today's chips is infinitely close to the nanometer level. However, human brain thinking is not limited to the cellular level, so it is difficult to simulate it through chips.
But now that the control capabilities of biologists have reached the genetic level, can we develop a biological computer that is more microscopic and more efficient than the cell level? If possible, the world's technological development path can completely take shortcuts. Computers
It is self-evident how important it is to the development of modern science and technology. Today's scientific research results can hardly be separated from computers. If you want to improve technology to a higher level, huge computing power is indispensable.
The two people's project had started to go astray without knowing it. Fortunately, Lan Nuo had not forgotten the business. After the modified virus began to replicate itself on a large scale, he found a test field and conducted experiments on part of the wheat.
Biologists can directly see what the wheat looks like after it is matured after spraying the drug. So whether the drug created is successful? Basically, it can be seen at a glance.
The first ones that were created were basically failures, either withering quickly or growing without fruit. There were also many that inherited wrong traits, and the fruits that grew could not be used as food at all.
But this kind of failure is nothing to biologists. It is better to say that there is such an obvious change for the first time. It is already a morale booster.
Under normal circumstances, the sprayed virus should not cause any changes, which is a normal phenomenon. At most, some plants will be directly poisoned by the virus.
The changes in front of them at least mean one thing, that is, their transformation of the virus is successful. This virus can indeed act on plants. It can directly transform the mature body of the plant, infect the entire plant in a short period of time, and transform them.
of genes.
"The next step is to screen out the virus that is the most stable and effective. We now need to let wheat inherit the two characteristics of corn.
One is the efficient use of carbon dioxide and water. Corn is a C4 plant and its use efficiency of water and carbon dioxide is very high. This is also one of the important reasons for its high yield. More importantly, it is precisely because of its utilization of water and carbon dioxide.
Its high efficiency allows it to grow in relatively barren areas such as mountains, and its survivability is significantly better than other food crops.
The other is the fruit gene of corn. Find out the part that makes the fruit expand, and the gene that grows multiple ears on the same plant. In this way, the wheat we cultivate may grow multiple ears, and
The volume of wheat ears is larger than now. This is no longer as simple as doubling the output. The planting of a new generation of wheat seeds in the future will undoubtedly have better results than this generation. This will greatly solve the problem of food
Question. It also has important implications for a recent initiative within our organization."
The Mo family has quite good relationships with a large number of farmers in the suburbs and can purchase grain directly from them. However, the number of these farmers is actually not too large. If it were just for this strike, it would support the consumption of more than 100,000 workers in the city.
In fact, it is not enough, let alone harvesting a wave of profiteers in the city.
But if a drug that can significantly increase production happens to be developed at this time, that would be another matter. Now the two of them are constantly getting closer to this drug. So far, the effect is very good. As they
By constantly adjusting the genetic sequence of the virus, the plants sprayed with these drugs are getting closer and closer to their target appearance.
In a recent test, the two saw that most of the wheat that had been sprayed with chemicals quickly absorbed water from the soil in the next month, began to grow taller, and developed in the gaps between the leaves.
More wheat ears came out. As for the overall plant itself, it is a bit thicker than before. Even if the original wheat plants were relatively thick, they were generally not as thick as a farmer's little finger, but now they are generally thicker than a thumb.
It's a circle. Also growing in size are the ears of wheat. The original ears of wheat were made up of wheat grains arranged closely together, but now the mutated individuals have a corn cob-like structure inside.
The wheat grains have also become embedded on it. On average, twelve rows of wheat grains can grow on each ear of wheat. Both the number of rows and the length have far exceeded the previous level. This is no longer a two or three times increase in output.
to the extent.
If this kind of thing were placed in a world without extraordinary power, it would definitely be called a scientific miracle, but it is not that exaggerated here. After all, the various flavored mushrooms created by Frank Lee in the original work are actually
Much more outrageous.
It grows up to taste like beef, and it grows into a type that can be milked. Even Lanno has no clue how to create such a thing.
"Well... it seems that it's basically done. It's finally completed. I didn't expect the wheat to grow so big. In another month, each of them will be taller than me. In that case, wouldn't the yield per mu be higher than
Is the corn still high?”
It must be admitted that when the yield is equal, wheat is a better food crop than corn. Both in terms of storage and nutritional value, it is relatively higher, not to mention the taste in long-term consumption. Perhaps
Some people will think that corn is more delicious than pasta, but compared to the entire human population, these people are undoubtedly a minority.
As for the current improvements, in terms of yield per mu, this mutant wheat can only be said to be a few percent higher than corn, but its value is much higher, and if annual output is considered, the improved crop growth cycle will be shorter.
Adjust the planting time. With the relatively warm climate of the Kingdom of Loen, it is entirely possible to plant two seasons a year.
In the final analysis, the greatest significance of the current temporary improvements is to use this strike to overturn the table, win benefits from factory owners, and allow workers to organize themselves and have their own power.
And what did the Lannos do? Organize parades and preach their moral principles in the city. This is naturally necessary. After all, if you don’t occupy the high ground of public opinion, others will naturally occupy it, so it must be firmly held
Get a grip.
But many things do not make sense and people will believe them. Even if many things are right, some people may not do them. Otherwise, why would some people say that the way to get rich is written in the criminal law?
Therefore, Mohists naturally want to use practical actions to prove that what they say is correct, and to use practical actions to prove that labor creates wealth.
And now they have successfully organized more than 100,000 people, and they have enough food to ensure that these people can have food and clothing for at least a month. Of course, they cannot feed them in vain. Even if they are relieving the victims, they have to work for relief.
There is so much manpower, and among them there are many skilled workers from all walks of life, why don’t we start practicing as soon as possible?
In the East District of Backlund, with the tacit approval of the royal family, the Mo family purchased a large area at a relatively cheap price, and then organized these workers to renovate and demolish the original old and dilapidated buildings, dredge and rebuild them.
Part of the drainage system in the East District and high-rise buildings with better construction conditions will be used in the future. Even if the strike is over and the two sides reach a compromise, the Mohists will have a number of high-quality assets in their hands, and these houses can be rented to nearby residents at a very low price.
Workers, it does not take long to recover costs, and it can further unite workers and use facts to explain their ideas.
It is not just residential buildings that are under construction, but also many factories. After all, with so many people gathered together, it is not in vain. When building these factories, we have already made an agreement with the workers, whether they are residential buildings or factories.
, they are all participating in the stock with their own labor, and their future income can be divided into dividends. The more they build, the better the quality, the more dividends they can expect in the future. The calculations are clear, and they are all doing it for themselves.
Although the level of fatigue is sometimes even higher than working in a factory, the enthusiasm is really low.
The powerful organizational ability of the Mohist family was fully demonstrated. No one in the entire Loen Kingdom dared to say that they could manage more than 100,000 people in an orderly manner without using extraordinary power, and demonstrated such strong productivity.
Lan Nuo is not in a hurry at all. This group of factories mainly does not compromise quickly, so he will not take them to play. Lan Nuo is now skillfully building a coal and steel industrial complex. Once this thing is completed, it will be like a virus.
The same crazy expansion, plus they also control the chemical factory and the input channels of many raw materials. If these factory owners really fight with him to the end, then Backlund will not need them anymore. Lan Nuo can definitely
Leave these people alone and do better than all of them combined.
If before when these workers were marching in the streets and singing loudly, which spread throughout Backlund, the factory owners and nobles who had suffered losses were still despising this group of bottom-level forces, now some people are already feeling bad.
The Mo family's organizational skills are simply outrageous, and I don't know what magic tricks they used to get these striking workers to take the initiative to work, and even have fun while doing it. The efficiency is astonishingly high.
Nowadays, the renovation of a large area of the old city in the East District is about to be completed. The planned employee community has complete infrastructure and is as tidy as even compared to Queens. Moreover, it can be said that it is very convenient for residents in the community to commute to and from work. Going downstairs
The corner is basically a factory area, and these factories are being established rapidly. The Mo family has enough knowledge reserves and enough capital reserves to purchase and modify various equipment.
At this time, some of these factories have been completed and have begun production.
