Leaving from Academician Chang Huaxiang's office, he got into Zheng Hai's car with the genetic structure analysis data of Class A Martian bacteria.
"Where to go, professor."
In the driving seat, Zheng Hai turned his head and asked habitually.
"Go to the research institute... no, go home first."
After thinking about it, Xu Chuan changed his mind. He could wait for things on Xinghai Research Institute. Anyway, Wen Yuanhang and senior executives were there. Now he is hiding the genetic structure of Class A Mars bacteria.
The secret is more interesting.
If it is really as Professor Chen Wenze said, then this invalid gene is likely to hide the secret from the alien advanced intelligent civilization.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing that you may need to help with."
Thinking about it, Xu Chuan suddenly remembered another thing, raised his eyes from the analysis data report in his hand, and looked at Zheng Hai who was driving.
"What's wrong, professor?" Zheng Hai looked at the rearview mirror and asked.
With a low tone, Xu Chuan said: "About the leakage and infection of Mars bacteria at Yuehua Taiwan Research Base this time, please ask someone to check who is causing the trouble behind it."
For him, if he had not touched the bottom line, he would have rarely paid attention to such things.
Just like the international community's evaluation of him, the media in England and Mi have been promoting the theory of threats all day long.
Especially after the aerospace competition began, China strategically invested huge funds in related fields, but could not get the corresponding returns, and believed that his existence would sooner or later lead the entire China into the abyss.
There is even a small country that has been researching the origin of the surname "Xu" all day long, believing that the surname Xu originated from them, revealing all kinds of incredible certifications in public and secretly.
He has always regarded these things as jokes and will not take them to heart.
However, this does not mean that he doesn't care about everything.
Just as the Washington Times slandered him in his mathematical achievements, this time the Martian bacteria leak and infection at Yuehuatai base also touched his bottom line.
Driving the vehicle smoothly, Zheng Hai nodded and said, "We are already investigating this matter. There are already some clues, but it will take some time to be completely sure."
The matter of Yuehua Taiwan Research Base is no longer just a problem with Mars life research projects.
Even if everything else is aside, the other party is calculating Xu Chuan behind his back and trying to infect Martian bacteria, he has already touched the country's bottom line.
It is difficult to find the specific truth with the Xinghai Research Institute and the Xiashu Space Base alone. After learning the news, Zheng Hai contacted the country immediately and organized special personnel to conduct a comprehensive investigation and tracking.
No matter what, it is inevitable that you will have to pay a price to dare to cause trouble in the international cooperation project organized by China, especially this kind of disaster that affects more than 100 lives and interferes with all mainstream countries in the world!
When Xu Chuan heard that Zheng Hai was already tracking and investigating the matter, he asked, "Who is causing trouble behind the scenes?"
Zheng Hai: "At present, all the clues point to the Johnson & Johnson Group in the United States."
When Xu Chuan heard this name, he was slightly stunned, frowned and asked, "Johnson?"
He really didn't expect that this company would be causing trouble behind it. After all, in the past, he had no conflict with this company.
Zheng Hai nodded and said, "It is not completely certain yet. It is not ruled out that there are people hiding deeper behind it, but all the clues of investigation are pointing to this company. However, the interweaving of interests behind Johnson & Johnson Group is quite complicated, and specific
It will take some time to find out who is causing trouble behind the scenes."
Xu Chuan: "Okay, please notify me if there is a result."
"Okay professor, is there anything else?"
"Not yet."
.........
With the genetic structure analysis data of Class A Martian bacteria, Xu Chuan returned to the villa at the foot of Purple Gold Mountain.
In the study, he connected to a small household supercomputer, uploaded the relevant analysis data to the computer, and then shouted.
"Xiao Ling, help me separate the genetic structure data of PIA·17-PIV·26, and then sort them differently according to the primary genetic structure, secondary genetic structure and each set of codon sequences."
After the words came, the AI academic assistant responded on the wall cabinet in the study.
"Received, Master~!"
"I'm leaving it to you, I'll wash my face first." After responding, Xu Chuan walked towards the bathroom, preparing to wash his face first and wake up before studying these things.
"Okay, I'll work hard!(??????)??"
Xiao Ling's voice came, and a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Chuan's mouth.
If there is any secret hidden in the genetic gene of Class A Martian bacteria, at least it must find the rules that exist in it.
He should be quite good at deciphering such things.
......
After wiping off the water stains on his face, Xu Chuan sat in front of the computer and clicked on the data that the AI assistant had sorted out for him.
What caught his eye was the primary structure of the regular invalid gene structure of this A-class Martian bacteria.
For carbon-based life on Earth, the primary structure of DNA refers to the connection and arrangement of four 'nucleotides'.
This structure represents the chemical composition of DNA molecules, determines higher morphology, and plays a role in storing and transmitting genetic information in organisms.
If we use biological knowledge from high school to briefly describe it, it is a polynucleotide chain formed by four deoxynucleotides (dAMP, dCMP, dGMP, dTMP) in a certain arrangement order and connected through phosphodiester bonds.
In the college entrance examination, this is a must-have biological knowledge point.
Of course, the regular invalid gene structure of this type of Mars bacteria in front of us is no exception. Judging from the analytical data, it also has two different polymers that are similar to nucleotide structures as the starting point and
Terminal point to insert the overall structure.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! If he is not wrong, if the so-called secret really exists, it must be preserved in these regular arrangements of genetic bases.
Looking at the experimental data parsed by Xiao Ling on the screen, Xu Chuan fell into deep thought.
Perhaps it is not difficult to unravel this secret, but he has to find the most critical key.
"Xiao Ling, help me sort out the number of multiple phosphate groups bound by each nitrogen-containing base in the primary structure, and then sort it for me."
After thinking about it, Xu Chuan tried to give a research direction.
Perhaps the number of phosphate groups hides the other party's information.
After all, the invalid gene structure of this rule is marked so obvious in Class A Martian bacteria. If there is really some information inside, the civilization that stores this information should not have too complicated decryption methods.
Many science fiction novels will write that mathematics is the only common law of the universe known so far, and the same mathematical law and formula can be connected.
Maybe he can study it through this direction.
Regardless of whether this idea is right or not, he must try it first. Try it first and then judge right or wrong. It is more cost-effective than useless thinking and wasting time.
"Received, Master!(??w??)?"
Xiao Ling's voice came, and with the help of a small supercomputer center arranged in the basement, this kind of stripping work was easy for AI academic assistants.
Soon, the number of multiple phosphate groups in the entire primary structure was peeled off separately according to his requirements.
02,05,08,08,07,01,06,03......
Looking at the numbers on the screen, Xu Chuan frowned. The numbers on it had no regularity at all, as if they were randomly marked.
At least he couldn't see any information hidden inside.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan said, "Xiao Ling, help me convert this information through binary."
10,101,1000,1000,111.........
After staring at the numbers on the screen for a long time, Xu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the back of the chair, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
When communicating with another intelligent civilization, according to the fifth type of contact code, it is best to exchange information in a most primitive and understandable way between both parties.
Without understanding the scientific, cultural customs and other aspects of both parties, the more primitive the information used for communication, the better.
For example, a photo is stronger than a USB drive that carries several TB of information.
After all, only God knows that aliens do not use binary computers. Even if they use them, they may not necessarily have USB interfaces, right?
Of course, the above situations are limited to the situation where they can contact each other.
What if this is the case now?
On the basis that another intelligent civilization left information, the two cannot communicate and can only rely on another civilization to decrypt the remaining information, what should we do to know what the above information is?
Is his research idea wrong?
Perhaps it is also possible, after all, the A-type Martian bacteria can be modified through gene editing technology so that it can transform the host and mutate it in another direction, and can also survive in the harsh environment of Mars.
Civilization is probably not as low as possible.
If you want to compare, perhaps this civilization that manufactures Class A Martian bacteria may be higher on the technological level than the human civilization on Earth.
Not to mention the rest, even if these Martian bacteria were not left behind by the Martian civilization more than one billion years ago, but by other alien civilizations on Mars, it was at least two hundred years ago.
It has been nearly two centuries since humans can observe space and Mars.
In any case, at least this type of modified Martian bacteria should have existed on Mars for two centuries, and the civilization that can transform it is enough to lead the technological disadvantage of two hundred years compared to the current human civilization.
"No!"
"Maybe my idea is right, but the wrong thing is that I lack some other conditions."
Thinking about it, another possibility came to Xu Chuan's mind.
Putting aside the mathematical symbols created by humans, no matter from which angle, mathematics is the common language of the universe.
Because it is a powerful language for describing and explaining natural phenomena, various phenomena and laws in the universe can be accurately described and predicted through mathematical equations and models.
Even if the symbols used by advanced alien wisdom civilizations are different from those of human Arabic numerals, at least the underlying truth of the universe, such as 1 1 = 2, and the law of conservation of mass and energy are common.
Perhaps in some areas that humans have not yet known, such as the realm of dark matter, space outside the universe may not be applicable, but at least in the current universe composed of observable real matter, they are common.
Of course, the expression may be different between different civilizations, but just like the pictures and videos written by computers, no matter what they show, at least at the bottom, it is composed of strings of 0 and 1
of.
Thinking about it, Xu Chuan bit by bit from the perspective of cosmic truth, how to do it to write the information he needs to express in a bacterial genetic structure.
"Perhaps, cognition in the macro sense may have to be abandoned first."
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
For any living being, the understanding of this world is first completed through its own sensory system.
Not to mention the different wisdom civilizations derived from different planets, even different species on the same planet cannot have the same understanding of the universe.
Therefore, for cognition in the macroscopic sense, the sensory system of organisms is the standard for understanding the world.
The laws of the universe that humans believe are actually based on the reference system of human civilization on Earth (also understood as restrictive), that is, the human senses are used as the standard.
And from a scientific point of view, it does not have universality across species.
Because different species have their own sensory systems (scale or reference systems).
For example, the definition of day and night by owls, bats, etc. is completely opposite to that of us humans (the rotation of the earth);
Cicada larvae are buried underground for several years (prime numbers such as 1, 3, 5, 7, 17) before they will mature in midsummer, so their definition of years (which humans use the earth to rotate one circle to define).
There are also many animals that perceive color (i.e. light) completely different from that of humans...
Therefore, alien mathematics and understanding of the laws of the universe (law) are highly likely to be inconsistent with those of the Earthlings.
For example, computer systems built by aliens based on their concepts of life may use ternary systems, or decimal systems or other calculation methods.
This is because for any intelligent creature who relies heavily on the sensory system as a reference, the laws of mathematics will vary greatly in the classic world they live in.
After all, from another perspective, mathematics is just a tool invented by humans, and the most core symbols and operation rules are created by humans.
So I think that using mathematics to analyze language problems between different civilizations is extremely difficult, because the core symbols and operation rules may be completely different.
Different advanced intelligent biological civilizations may have different languages, different habits, different forms, and different levels, but as long as you live in this universe, everyone's basic understanding of the universe is undoubtedly the same.
Of course, the basic cognition mentioned here refers to cognition at the micro level, not in the macro sense.
