Chapter 1107 Technological Involution and Leap

What Palmion actually told Frey was an idea that Frey Knight had no ability to verify.

How should I describe the research in this direction...

Inspiration is very worthless, but consumption costs money. (Assuming that there is still a general equivalent of "money" in this era.)

To put it bluntly, the whole process is to use this kind of scientific research inspiration of "mix graphene and bird poop, and then write a paper."

In the early 21st century, "graphene" was once a research hotspot in the field of chemistry. Since graphene was discovered in 2004, it has been widely used in various fields, including sensors, transistors, flexible displays, desalination, aerospace, new energy materials, and electrocatalysts. Taking the direction of "graphene doping as an electrocatalyst" as an example, different graphene synthesis methods combine single doping, mixed doping, SEM, XPS and even synchrotron radiation characterization of various elements, plus electrochemical properties. Improve, and finally sublimate the value of the research at the end of the article, and it will be a high-level paper.

Until 2020, a chemist from the University of Toronto mixed bird poop with graphene and published a paper "Can any poop improve the performance of graphene?" As written in the article, considering that there are 84 reasonable and stable elements (excluding noble gases and carbon), 84 articles can be written on graphene doped with one element; 3486 combinations can be found for doping with two elements, doping We can publish 95,284 articles with three elements, and the number can be close to 2×10^6 with four elements.

There is a poem that says: If your thinking is not clear, add some graphene; if your submission is not smooth, add some perovskite.

You can't say that this is not a meaningful direction, but in terms of the "technical content" of "inspiration", this is really...not very clever.

In a sense, it is just about converting mental work into physical work.

But this kind of physical labor also has a relatively high threshold in a certain sense.

You have to be able to find so many cutting-edge transformation technologies, and you have to have the conditions to implement them one by one.

Let’s just say the former. Cutting-edge cell-level transformation technology, which one is not a secret? Before being open sourced by Xiake, these technologies will be locked and will never be transferred to the grassroots level.

And Niyaguti has been active nearby these years, and she also wants to find an opportunity to open source.

As one of the deputy leaders of the Forge of Life, Palmion was able to obtain relevant technical information and implement it one by one.

To be honest, this is simply the best outcome Xiangshan expected.

In fact, Xiang Shan also thought about taking out some of his own cells in the knight's base, and then testing the compatibility of these cells with existing transformation technology. Test after test, you can always find the right solution.

This can bypass even the most complex research.

Humanity has not yet fully mastered life.

However, firstly, this requires massive supplies, secondly, this requires massive supplies, and thirdly, this requires massive supplies.

In short, Niaguti never considered this possibility in the first place.

Palmien used his own resources to directly solve Xiang Shan's biggest concern.

Xiang Shan was more concerned about another issue.

"This...is the quantity of special sample A-RG-13 really enough?"

This involves another issue.

Xiangshan has not found the synthesis path of that mysterious cytoskeleton, nor does he know the conditions for its activation.

The only thing confirmed is that the synthesis path and decomposition path of this substance are closed under normal conditions. Under normal conditions, the cells of special sample A-RG-13/Xiangshan neither produce it nor decompose it. Moreover, the conditions for opening these paths are also "unknown".

Perhaps cells can synthesize it under certain conditions. Perhaps it is the result of another externally injected synthetic substance that breaks down within the cell. There are many technical achievements in these two directions.

In other words, even if the special sample A-RG-13 is cloned, the cloned nerve cell sample will not carry that special cytoskeleton. Xiangshan's cells, which have abnormally proliferated due to a strange genetic disease, do not contain this type of cytoskeleton inside.

Xiangshan couldn't extract neurons from his brain all day long. Even if modern biotechnology can already cultivate neural stem cells in vitro and fill them in a targeted manner, it cannot withstand such harvesting.

This resulted in a limited total number of special sample A-RG-13.

Of course, after the artificial neural circuit is implanted, it is necessary to adjust the neural network and remove a small number of nerve cells to optimize the neural network and release the internal pressure of the brain.

After absorbing the legacy of the Eighth and Ninth Martial Gods, Xiangshan himself had this need, so he took the initiative to remove a small part of the inactive neural circuits. Over a period of time, the brain's compensatory mechanism will concentrate the use of this part of the circuit on more efficient artificial neural circuits as much as possible.

Which part needs to be removed and which part needs to be retained needs to be determined through long-term monitoring and recording.

It's all accurate to the cellular level.

Xiangshan only handed over less than a thousand neurons this time, and there is no way to increase it in the short term.

If they had found a way to synthesize this cytoskeleton, they would have been kicked out long ago.

"Don't you know?" Palmien smiled, "The most sophisticated instruments can test 'coexistence or not' on a single cell. As long as the cells have not died after the new transformation technology is implanted, it can be proved The technology does coexist. And specialized enzymes can reverse the process."

This is not necessarily the enzyme that restores the enzyme. The function of Danase is to restore the growth state and repair damage. However, for things such as special protected skeletons and artificial organelles, which have decomposition pathways that do not necessarily exist within cells, enzymes cannot help.

The breakdown pathways for some intracellular artifacts simply don't exist. They require external input of the corresponding enzymes to complete their breakdown.

In this process, a single neuron can be used repeatedly.

Most mature cell-level transformation technologies will also develop reduction means while developing transformation methods. Of course, these are two projects.

Just like plain water can significantly inhibit cancer cells outside the body, cancer cannot be cured in such a simple and crude way in the body.

The reaction paths of many substances in cells are drawn on the diagram, which is a complex network, and one move affects the whole body. Although the specificity of enzymes is very high, how do you know whether the enzyme you designed has only absolute specificity, relative specificity, or stereoisomeric specificity?

Even from a design perspective, an enzyme can indeed target only one substance. But the enzyme itself should be broken down by other enzymes in the cell—a safety requirement. The enzyme used for reverse surgery must have a decomposition path within the cell, otherwise something may go wrong.

In fact, the technology on Xia Ke's side is not very standardized, and it is easy to leave hidden dangers in related aspects. This type of enzyme, which is designed but has no decomposition pathway, accumulates too much and is a burden to the cells.

"Although I have heard that you on the 'shore' are rich in resources..." Xiang Shan tried his best to synthesize a "jealous" tone, "but this is too rich. I never thought that it could be like this...such... …”

"You will have it in the future too." Palmien was very confident. He patted Frey on the arm in encouragement.

According to the custom among scientific knights, since Knight Frey shared so much with him, he, Palmion, should give something back. Parmion deliberately threw a direction that the Frey Knights absolutely cannot spend the resources to advance at this stage.

In fact, this can only be regarded as part of Palmion's project.

——You see, Knight Frey is also satisfied, right?

Palmion thought this, and the guilt in his heart calmed down a little.

Perhaps out of a "compensation" mentality, he even introduced many technical details to Frey in detail.

The kind that knights can't get.

Yes, according to regulations, this kind of thing cannot be made public at will. However, that is a taboo set by the Gene Bank Defense Force United Temple.

Who are they? A scattered member of the Six Dragons Sect!

Do you still need to abide by these things when communicating with other members of the Six Dragon Sect?

And Xiang Shan became more and more emotional.

If everyone in the Six Dragons Cult and even the Scientific Research Knights were like Lord Palmion, the situation of the knights might be very different.

Following Palmion, Xiangshan also gained a deeper understanding of what "cell-level transformation technology" looks like today.

Compared with what Palmion shows now, the Yawgmoth of three hundred years ago was just a patchwork of building blocks.

Or it should be described this way, Yawgmoth just figured out the operating rules of the machine, then found a few available instructions, performed a database merge, and then "It just worked".

Perhaps before Yawgmoth excitedly displayed that cell, thousands of groups of cells had died in his culture dish.

And to this day, humans still do not understand every line of code in the two merged databases-the Earth Biological Database and the Oloran Biological Database. This was originally a billion-year-old shit mountain.

But they have been able to accurately enter a few lines of code, and then inject drugs as instructions to activate it.

There are also some modifications, even using magnetic particles to physically change the electromagnetic properties of local cells.

Dojo inside a real conch shell.

how to say……

It's very involution. And the meaning of the roll is unclear.

Countless R\u0026D costs have been spent just to improve a single bit of performance.

And this improved brain performance may not be controlled by consciousness.

Brain modification is obviously supposed to prepare for a new round of "cognitive revolution", but it is just a means.

But now, even Xiangshan has to keep up with this trend and continue to pile up information in his mind.

"No, if you think about it carefully, we have other directions." "Fanatical" said, "We can explore the cognitive revolution while improving performance, allowing consciousness to fully control the improved performance."

"Benchmark" Xiang Shan was very melancholy: "I sigh again, these two hundred years..."
