In a petri dish, a small group of translucent cells with a hint of light green was trembling.
That's right, it's trembling, it's trembling visible to the naked eye.
"It's amazing." Lin Sha approached the culture dish curiously and found that the cells and tissues inside were trembling even more.
Fang Ge thought for a while and guessed: "Maybe our brain waves are affecting it."
Excited Jiang Tiansheng nodded:
"It is indeed our brain waves that are affecting it. This proves that cancer cells have been successfully given brain wave sensing protein components, but now we have not given filters and cannot receive brain waves in a directional manner."
Fang Ge was very happy. Although the cells and tissues in the culture dish were like newborns, this represented a new stage in the research and development work. Then she smiled and said:
"Step by step, we have now taken a critical step towards success."
"Xiao Ge makes sense." After Lin Sha and Fang Ge got acquainted, they no longer had the same sense of distance as before.
What's more, Fang Ge's level is really good. Not only does he have wild ideas, but he also has a very solid foundation in biochemistry.
As expected, birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together. Being able to be Academician Huang’s student is extraordinary.
After the breakthrough progress of the brainwave-sensing protein component, Fang Ge decided to split his forces into two groups. Jiang Tiansheng was responsible for continuing to improve the brainwave-sensing protein component, while she, Lin Sha, and Wen Kehan worked on the second component-the brainwave feedback protein component.
attack.
With the sensing component, brain waves can be received; with the feedback component, brain waves can be released.
Both are indispensable, which is equivalent to the fact that the USB flash drive must be able to store information and read information. Neither one will work without one.
With experience in developing brainwave-sensing protein components, Lin Sha, Fang Ge, and Wen Kehan followed suit.
Using cancer cells as the substrate, injecting brainwave feedback hormone and X serum, a set of the most suitable brainwave feedback protein components was developed in less than two days.
The next step is the general direction that international colleagues are working on, protein logic gates (transistors), and protein logic devices (large-scale integrated circuits) integrated by protein logic gates.
The basic input to protein circuits is controlled by CIPHR (cooperatively induced protein heterodimers).
The so-called CIPHR is an aggregate of two different proteins. Each protein corresponds to an input at a specific position. Different combinations are equivalent to 1 at different positions in the circuit.
CIPHR's logic gates are portable, which also means that we can use logic gates to control different biological functions.
Fang Ge and Lin Sha designed four pairs of heterodimer modules to construct two logic gates with different control functions.
Using cancer cells as the basic framework, a protein is embedded in the corresponding nanosite, and then X serum is injected as a fusion coordinator. Through in vitro translation and monitoring of luminescence, it is tested whether the logic gate is open.
If a heterodimer is used, as long as it enters (1), it will generate inhibition (0), which is equivalent to a NOT gate.
If protein monomers are used, as long as any protein enters (1), the original TALE-KRAB binding will be destroyed and the inhibition (1) will be cancelled, thereby realizing the function of the OR gate.
The NOT gate and OR gate are used to control the expression of TIM3 protein, which is detected by flow cytometry.
The above is only the case of two inputs. If the input is increased to 3, it is similar, but more dimers are used, and more proteins are used inside the logic gate.
The test results show that the protein logic gate can be controlled by them, but because the brainwave feedback component and sensing component are not assembled, the protein logic gate control is slow and the response is relatively unresponsive.
However, this problem only requires assembling the brainwave sensing and feedback components inside the cancer cells to achieve rapid control.
Fang Ge looked at the successful protein logic gate and said immediately: "We need to build the first logic device, a filter logic device."
"I agree."
Research and development work has progressed by leaps and bounds. In just one month, the biological computer laboratory will have completed the brainwave sensing components, brainwave feedback components, filters, storage, and central processing units.
Successfully constructed the first set of original biochips.
Inside the culture dish, the previously translucent cell tissue now had a positive green color, like a piece of crystal clear emerald, or jelly would be more appropriate.
In cellular tissue, each cell is equivalent to a chip, and these cells do not exert their true power.
Because their internal core logic (central processing unit) cannot be combined in parallel.
Wen Kehan wrote a set of simple kernel programs for the core logic devices in these cells, mainly to test the floating point computing power of these cell chips.
As for whether it is necessary to write a real biological computer kernel operating system, there is no need.
Why do you say that
Is there any other operating system that is more powerful and comprehensive than the human brain? It only has some built-in auxiliary programs and permission control programs.
Wen Kehan took several auxiliary employees and placed 20 petri dishes one by one into the floating-point arithmetic testing machine.
This machine was specially ordered from Shenguang Instruments and can achieve precise calculations of floating point computing power through brain waves.
Wen Kehan, who was wearing goggles, looked at his watch and then ordered: "Start the test."
The assistant employee pushed the petri dish into the brainwave exchange box and immediately started the floating point arithmetic test.
Looking at the numbers that were beating wildly, Wen Kehan had expected that the computing power of the cell chip would be very powerful, but he did not expect that it would be so powerful.
The floating-point computing power of 4669 to 5341 trillion (trillion) per second is more than three times more powerful than the current large-scale supercomputer.
The most powerful supercomputer at present is Shenguang Instrument's Shenguang-Jupiter large-scale supercomputer, which can reach 1,500 megabits per second.
The problem is that the cell chips in the culture dish have not yet entered the stage of parallel combination. The tested speed is only the computing power of a single cell chip, so there are obvious fluctuations in computing power.
If a coin-sized cell tissue in a petri dish exerts all its computing power, and then aligns it side by side.
Just think about it and you will know how much computing power is hidden in it.
"This is the future of mankind." Wen Kehan handed the report to others.
After reading the report, Fang Ge, Lin Sha, Jiang Tiansheng and others were also shocked by the powerful computing power of the cell chip.
It is so powerful that one cell chip alone is equivalent to three Shenguang-Jupiter supercomputers. A cell tissue the size of a coin contains hundreds of millions of cells.
"As for the parallel framework, we need a team of professional computer programmers to establish a complete parallel computing framework program." Wen Kehan reminded.
After all, he is not a professional programmer. Writing programs by himself is not only slow, but also more prone to loopholes.
Fang Ge also knew that Wen Kehan couldn't handle it alone, so he nodded and replied: "I will apply to Director Wang for a team of programmers to come and support."
With the successful development of cell chips, the next step is to enter a new stage of building biological computers.
Wang Shengqiang looked at the report in his hand and realized that the biological computer laboratory, which had been established for more than two months, had made breakthrough progress.
He immediately contacted Huang Mingzhe to report the incident.
Huang Mingzhe, who was in Lingnan, was surprised by Fang Ge's speed, but he still dispatched a group of programming experts from the Computer Programming Research Institute of Thinking Society and the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering to support him.
