Chapter 1052: Two completely different paths for the development of an interstellar civilization.
When Xu Chuan received a call from Secretary-General Stafan Nomak, on the other hand, a press conference from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences was also being held simultaneously.
Compared with the announcement of Physics and Chemistry Prizes in previous years on different dates, these two natural science awards were chosen to be announced on the same day this year.
The reason is very simple. The winners of the two Nobel Prizes are the same person.
Taking this factor into account, the selection committees of the two houses of Materials and Chemical Industry decided to put the announcement time together after discussing with each other.
Anyway, they have broken the rules and are not afraid of being shocked.
Of course, in addition to this, they also hope to materialize the honor of double awards.
It is also because of this that when the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry this year was announced, the whole world was in full swing.
After the press conference to announce the Nobel Prize, domestic and foreign media forwarded the relevant news as soon as possible.
In less than an hour, the news that Xu Chuan won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry directly became a hot search on major Internet platforms.
【Damn it? Has Sichuan God won the award again?】
[Mom! The physics and chemistry awards were awarded to one person at the same time? This should be the first time in history that someone has won a different type of Nobel Prize?]
[Not for the first time, Madame Curie won the Physics and Chemistry Prizes in the last century, but it was not in the same year. In addition, Linus Bowling, who won the Chemistry Prize and Peace Prize, also won the Chemistry Prize and Peace Prize.
, But you know the Peace Prize, you don’t want dogs.
[Can the Nobel Prize be awarded in this way after winning the Physics Award and Chemistry Award in the same year? Curious.]
[Theoretically, it shouldn't work, but the regulations are for breaking this thing itself. It is natural for the Shenshen to win two Nobel Prizes. I feel that no one is more worthy than him!]
[If we count the physics awards for 18 years, Chuan Shen has already won three! And the reason for this award is the contribution of the unified theory of strong electricity, but he also has two items such as dark matter particles and room temperature superconducting materials.
If you can get the Nobel Prize for 100 points (if you give it), you will be wholesale of the Nobel Prize medal, good guy.]
[Did no one care about Professor Weiteng?! He finally won the Nobel Prize and achieved the Monofi double prize!!!]
[Smile with your tutor, and the student won the Nobel Prize with his tutor. What kind of story in science fiction? I was so laughed to death.]
[There is also Professor Deliney, a mathematician who won the Nobel Prize. In this way, there are three Noble double prize winners at once.]
.........
It has to be said that the news that the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Physics and Chemistry Prizes to the same person in the same year was like pouring cold water into a hot oil pan, causing fierce discussions all over the world.
After all, there are only a handful of scholars in this world who can win two Nobel Prizes.
Looking at the Nobel Prize has been established in 1895 for more than 100 years, there are only five people.
Not to mention that I got it in the same year.
Being able to win one Nobel Prize in two different fields means that the winners must make the world's top scientific research results in at least two huge scientific fields.
This difficulty, putting aside the Linus Pauling Award for Chemistry and Peace Prize, only Madame Curie has done this in all mankind.
Moreover, she got it in the early 20th century, which is much less difficult than entering the twenty-first century.
After all, with the development of human civilization, the progress of science and technology and academic research and the increase in the amount of knowledge in various disciplines are almost unimaginable to ordinary people.
Take physics as an example. Pure physics has five major subjects: classical mechanics, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, electromagnetics, relativity, and quantum mechanics.
Multidisciplinary physics also includes seven major subjects: chemical physics, geophysics, economic physics, atmospheric physics, biophysics, medical physics, and astrophysics.
The two major categories add up to 12 disciplines, and under these twelve disciplines, almost every one of them has sub-disciplines that can continue to be subdivided like branches.
If we really want to count, the twigs of contemporary physics have exceeded three digits and are moving towards four digits.
For most scholars, it takes more than ten years or even a lifetime to achieve the ultimate goal in a single twig field of these three digits and gain the recognition of other physicists.
It's right.
Even for most scholars, they simply cannot reach the forefront of a certain branch field and have the ability to expand this frontier area forward for a little bit.
So after entering the 21st century, it is really too difficult to win the Nobel Prize in different major fields.
.........
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Xiashu Space Base, and came to the mission with the Space Administration Director Wu Yuankang had left after learning about the situation from Xu Chuan.
In the office, Professor Chen Wenze of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who came over with the latest research and experimental data on Mars dead rock bacteria, gently knocked on the open door and walked in.
"Academician Xu, Academician Chang."
After saying hello, he looked at Xu Chuan, with a deep envy in his eyes, and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations to Academician Xu for winning this year's Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry."
As a scholar, the Nobel Prize can be said to be his lifelong pursuit.
Of course, to be precise, it should be a lifelong dream.
Because he has never regarded the Nobel Prize as his goal.
After all, dreams can be imagined, but the goal is to pursue and work hard to achieve.
Although sometimes he fantasizes about being recommended to be selected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences before he is fifty, he never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize.
Because with his academic achievements, it is too far from the Nobel Prize.
As the highest award recognized by the academic community at present, winning this medal means that the winners can be rampant all over the world and no longer have to worry about scientific research funds and complex interpersonal relationships.
However, even such a medal he could not even imagine, the scholar who was nearly ten years younger than him had already won three!
Three! The whole three have refreshed the history of the academic community and created the number of new historical monuments!
How can this not be enviable?
On the sofa, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Thank you, I was really surprised. I didn't expect that the jury of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences would be so extraordinary and would award me two medals at the same time."
Upon hearing this, Professor Chen Wenze said curiously: "If you say two Nobel Prizes, you should be able to bring 28 family members and friends to the Nobel Prize dinner together."
Xu Chuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Do you want to go?"
Hearing this, Chen Wenze touched his head and laughed: "This is a Nobel Prize dinner. It is estimated that more than 99% of the people in the world have never attended it. They must have wanted to go!"
After a brief pause, he smiled and said, "If there is any extra, can I apply for a place?"
"Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not enough. Academician Xu will help you take two photos and let me experience it remotely."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Then I'll give you a place. I probably can't use that many of the 28 places that come with the Nobel Prize."
In fact, not to mention the 28 places to attend the Nobel Prize dinner, even 14 are enough for him.
After all, although he has many friends, he has always had only a few friends.
During this period, in order to find a way to treat Martian dysfunction infection, the person in front of him did help him a lot. He was in charge of the International Martian Life Research Project instead of him, just treat it as a reward for him.
Hearing Xu Chuan's words, Chen Wenze's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Thank you Academician Xu!"
After chatting about the Nobel Prize, Chen Wenze handed the experimental report he brought over to Xu Chuan and Chang Huaxiang one by one, and spoke up.
"About the study of Martian dead rock bacteria, the infected personnel at Yuehua Taiwan Research Base have been injected with immune protein drugs. Except for the four astronauts who were most seriously infected, the physical indicators of others have returned to normal people.
The category of
"As for the silicon-based alienated structure of Liu Yang and Jiang Xinlin, we still need to wait for subsequent observation to confirm whether the normal human structure will be restored over time."
"in addition....."
After pausing, he looked at Xu Chuan and then said: "A study on animals infected with Mars, through the infected mouse body tissue sections and live experimental observations, we have initially confirmed the infection pattern of this bacteria.
.”
"If it is in terms of the infection pattern and its relationship with the host, this is a form that has not yet appeared on Earth, neither bacteria nor virus."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chuan looked over with some curiosity: "But if I remember correctly, judging from the previous experimental data, its relationship with the host is a parasitic relationship, right?"
"After entering human cells, this kind of Martian life relies entirely on host cells to survive and reproduce."
Professor Chen Wenze nodded and explained: "Yes, if it is simply from this perspective, Martian dysfunction belongs to the virus type."
"But the biology community often needs to judge the species of a organism from multiple aspects."
"Although the impact of viruses on the host is multifaceted and there is a relationship of 'coordinated evolution', from the perspective of the host, this co-evolution is passive."
"Because the host cell dies without evolving immunity or killing the corresponding virus."
"The Martian dysfunction is different. It does require host cells to provide nutrients for reproduction and survival. But during the parasitic process, it is like wearing a stealth cloak, and it is difficult to directly contact the host's immune system.
”
"And during the parasitic process, it also synthesizes a hormone with the help of nutrients from the host cell."
"After releasing this dead rock hormone through parasitic cells, it will enter the host's body fluid circulation and participate in the host's metabolic activities."
"And this hormone can also enter the bone-like tissue structure, structure it with the free metasilicic acid in the host, and produce a brand new silicone protein."
"This is also the reason why silico-mutation of the body structure of humans infected with Mars. It is very different from the transformation of native cells that we previously speculated."
"So there are two completely different forms of life than the virus on Earth."
"And if it is to classify it a form of life and classify it from the current observed situation, it should be established for a completely new classification."
Speaking of this, Professor Chen Wenze looked at Xu Chuan, and his eyes were filled with envy.
Although it should theoretically be an internal matter in the biology community, if we are most qualified to divide the species of this Martian dead rock fungus, there is no doubt that the person in front of us is the one in front of us.
After all, Martian dysfunction was discovered in the manned fire-mounting project led by him, and he also found the method to treat this Martian bacteria infection.
"Symbiosis, dead rock hormone, metabolic alienation, something interesting~."
Listening to Professor Chen Wenze’s explanation, Xu Chuan touched his chin with an interesting look in his eyes.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Professor Chen Wenze and asked, "Can you find out which genetic structure is controlling the synthesis of this hormone?"
Chen Wenze nodded and said, "It should be no problem, it just takes some time."
After a slight pause, he continued: "The genetic structure breakthrough of the genetic gene structure of the squatta bacteria has been made. In the future, we will conduct gene editing experiments on each complete genetic fragment to understand that different fragments will bring
What's the different functions."
The genetic genes of Mars Fertilizer are indeed much more complicated than conventional virus bacteria, but it is much easier to understand their functions compared to editing and experimenting with each human gene fragment.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially the number of coding sequences that can make proteins usually accounts for less than five percent compared to non-coding sequences.
Just as humans have much fewer genes than originally expected, the exons in them, that is, the coding sequences that can make proteins, account for only about 1.5% of the total length.
And the exons of this Martian dysfunction, namely coding sequences, are obviously fewer than those of humans, and it takes less time to decipher them.
Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Then give you a task."
"Simply put, it is to find this gene fragment that controls the synthesis of silicone proteins, analyze it, and understand its working principle. Then, try to use carbon, calcium or sulfur groups through gene editing technology.
Structures to replace the original fragments.”
Hearing this, Professor Chen Wenze's eyes moved, as if he had thought of something. He took a deep breath and looked over, and couldn't help asking, "You are..."
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "If the side effects of Mars' dead rock bacteria transforming and alienating human structure can be solved, then this is a completely new evolutionary direction for humans."
After a pause, he continued: "For humans who have begun space exploration, facing planets with various complex environments in the universe will be the most common thing in the future."
"Compared with the entire universe, the adaptation environment of human bodies is indeed too single and fragile. They can only live on a fixed type of planet."
"And now there is another way before us."
"If human civilization really wants to leave the earth, then in addition to finding an alien planet suitable for survival and transforming an alien planet with similar conditions to make it liveable, it may be a way to make humans actively evolve and adapt to different alien environments.
.”
"Maybe it may seem that it is a great violation of ethics and morality, and it will also cause great controversy."
"But this does not prevent us from making technical reserves first."
