From black technology to super engineering

On June 20, the International Space Joint Conference was held as scheduled.

The meeting lasted for five days. During the five days, the bosses from all over the world conducted several rounds of consultations, exchanged opinions frankly, and finally reached an important consensus that was hailed by the media as "determining the destiny of mankind".

Namely: Human civilization has entered a brand-new historical stage of star civilization stage.

At the meeting, it was clearly proposed that human beings should abandon confrontation in the fields of interstellar exploration and space development, and at the same time establish an effective cooperation mechanism to undertake the common program of pushing the entire human civilization to a higher and happier future.

Based on this program, several space-oriented organizations were announced to be withdrawn, and a brand new military organization of the "Human Space Joint Defense Convention" was established.

The organization will set up two base camps, the earth base camp is permanently located in the Shanghai stock market, and the space base camp is permanently located on the moon-the space base.

At the same time, the meeting also announced that the Canglan Star joint scientific expedition team will be established to lay the foundation for the future interstellar colonization plan of mankind.

In addition, the meeting also proposed cooperation plans in various fields such as energy and food, and set the goal of comprehensively solving the problem of global human hunger within five years.

In the end, a group photo with the leader in the middle and Mao Mei standing beside him was used as a news photo by all media in all countries.

When the press release was released, the entire Internet immediately became agitated.

...

In Ye Ming's office, Zhou Xiangnan was taking his two sons, chatting with Ye Ming.

Hmm... His twin sons, who are over three years old this year, especially like to play with Ita.

And Ita also likes human cubs very much, and had a great time playing with the two little guys.

"From now on, our national flag may never be separated from the C position." Zhou Xiangnan said with a smile to Ye Ming.

"That's inevitable." Ye Ming held the teacup and looked at the other party with a smile - he could probably guess what this guy Zhou Xiangnan had in mind when he came to find him.

Since the establishment of the new "Taiyue" and the announcement of the formation of a joint scientific research team to go to the blue star, almost everyone in the brain-computer center has become active.

Let's put it this way, facing the temptation of the afterglow of another interstellar civilization, any scientific researcher cannot refuse it.

Don't look at Zhou Xiangnan who usually shouts loudly, saying that he refuses to introvert and resists overtime, but he arranges a lot of work for his graduate students-this guy is really a madman in materials science.

Hmm... It might also have something to do with Sheng Fei being under the same roof.

At present, Sheng Fei has become the academic leader of the new generation of materials science in China, the kind who takes the lead, and as a scholar in the same field, he is naturally competitive.

At the very least, it must become a "double jade".

At present, materials science is mainly focused on chip materials, and a large number of achievements have been produced. For example, Sheng Fei's group has produced a new material called artificial muscle, which has extremely high strength and strong strength. Plasticity and wear resistance, currently Jizhi Technology has begun to use this material to try to build new robots. According to Sheng Fei's vision, this artificial muscle material can also be used to replace human mechanical prostheses in the future.

But Zhou Xiangnan believes that according to the current conditions, biological materials are still almost meaningless.

However, after Ye Ming mentioned that the technology tree of the Canglan Star had reached the biological field, his mind became active.

Using the biotechnology of the Canglan Star people to realize the re-evolution of human biological science—even if it is just a guess at the moment, once it succeeds, it will definitely push human beings to a higher level again.

You said, how could he be willing to miss this kind of opportunity?

It's just...

Everyone knows that Ye Ming's back door is the most difficult to get through.

Zhou Xiangnan looked at Ye Ming with burning eyes: "Mr. Ye, whether it's a joint scientific examination or something, we must be in the leadership position, right?"

"Well, of course." Ye Ming was not in a hurry, and smiled and said to the other party: "Although the final candidate and plan have not been determined yet, our people must account for at least two-thirds."

"Hmm... so what kind of major do you need?"

"Astronomy and cosmology are definitely required, followed by biology, medicine, geology, archaeology, mechanics, nuclear physics, etc."

"What about the material? Not in the material field?" Zhou Xiangnan said eagerly, "Look at the ingenious design of Canglan Star's spaceship..."

"I think that's it. Besides, the preliminary analysis has come out, and it's just high temperature resistant steel."

"Uh... what is it called..."

Seeing his anxious look, Ye Ming couldn't help laughing: "Old Zhou, are you willing to give up your son?"

"What can I be reluctant to do?" Zhou Xiangnan glanced at his son who played around Ita and didn't know his last name: "Is this the time to talk about the love between children?"

"..."

Ye Ming smiled and shook his head.

Of course he said that on purpose just now-how could it be possible that experts in the field of materials science are not needed?

Among other things, the carrier material of the biological circuit channel on the spacecraft is currently unknown.

Moreover, the field of chip biomaterials is currently hot, and Zhou Xiangnan is one of the authorities in this field. In the eyes of outsiders, Professor Sheng Fei's reputation and achievements may be even better, but in the Brain-Computer Center, everyone knows that, Zhou Xiangnan was no match for Sheng Fei in terms of scientific sense or ability.

All he lacked was a little luck.

It's just that the matter of crossing the wormhole for the first time is not as simple as going to heaven.

"Old Zhou, don't get excited, go back and think about it, and then wait until the specific preparation notice comes."

"You mean to let me go to PK?"

Ye Ming was delighted when he heard the word PK: "How can organizational considerations be called PK? It must be a comprehensive consideration... and even I can't open the back door!"

Zhou Xiangnan was unconvinced after hearing this: "Nonsense...what about Mogu?"

As his words fell, Mo Gu's voice came from outside the door: "Lao Zhou has something to do with me? He's still chewing his tongue..."

Zhou Xiangnan turned his head and saw Mo Gu standing at the door, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"..."

Watching Zhou Xiangnan leave with the two babies, Mo Gu smiled and shook his head.

"I asked you to open the back door?"

"Um."

"No wonder, I see him taking his son with him these days, probably because he wants to spend more time with him." Mo Gu straightened his hair and sighed softly: "His lover has not been in a good mood these two days, It seems that there are many discussions at home."

"If you have a family, you will definitely not be so free. But what should I say... In fact, this kind of opportunity... let alone you, I don't want to miss it." Ye Ming said with emotion.

Mo Gu burst out laughing.

These days, she is in a particularly good mood.

First of all, Ye Ming agreed with her to go there - of course, there is a premise that the country has proposed this plan, and secondly, the country has really proposed this plan, and she is currently the only confirmed candidate.

Therefore, there was Zhou Xiangnan's unconvinced rhetorical question before.

"Forget it, just stay here honestly, and wait until we pioneers have made our way—by the way, isn't there a space city? Do you have a plan?"

"No!" When it came to going to the space city, Ye Ming became depressed.

Before, before the probe flew to the blue star, under Peng Xiaofei's flaunting and bewitching, he had the idea of ​​going on a trip to the sky - as one can imagine, the resistance was enormous.

Even his father drew a line and asked him to get married first!

This method of urging marriage... is also absolutely perfect.

Hmm...fortunately, I didn't mention holding my grandson.

But with the discovery of the Canglan Star, Ye Ming suddenly realized that he had no interest in going to space.

If you want to go, you must also cross the wormhole!

That's three million light years when you close your eyes!

Which scientist do you think can resist this temptation?

I heard it in the morning, it's okay to die in the evening!

"Sister Mo, don't come here to show off, be careful, I am firmly opposed." After being depressed, Ye Ming stared at Mo Gu, and snorted softly: "How is the sequencing work over there?"

"Well... I came here just to talk to you about this." When it came to business, Mo Gu's expression became serious. She crossed her legs and raised Erlang's legs, put her hands on her knees, and looked at Ye Ming: "Today The engineering robot sampled a lot of plants and came back, intending to cooperate with the text deciphering team to carry out biological classification."

Ye Ming nodded, signaling Mo Gu to continue.

——Since the discovery of the "death language" of the Canglan Star civilization, the focus of the entire scientific research work has been fully shifted to deciphering the text.

And this part of the work is divided into two directions and multiple fields.

The first direction is to use the drawing boards with pictures, especially the drawing boards with plant and animal patterns, to recode the text information in conjunction with the collection of animal and plant information.

The second direction is to start with basic subjects.

To be precise, it starts with mathematics.

Because in this universe, no matter how biological forms and physical rules change, mathematics remains unchanged.

No matter what calculation symbol, base system, or form the Canglan Star people use... 1+1 must equal 2, which is a self-evident truth.

Now the progress in these two directions is very fast, especially the second direction, with the assistance of Ita—yes, Ye Ming authorized Ita to retrieve the most core data in his own name, using her computing core To analyze the data infinitely exhaustively.

Hmm...By the way, Ye Ming asked Ita a long time ago, asking her if she knew Canglanxing's writing. Ita's answer was that the permissions and data given to her by the system did not contain any information about Canglan Star.

Even she doesn't have any information about anything other than human civilization.

This also proves that in a sense, ita was indeed a bit of a "blank board" at the beginning of its birth.

With the access of ultra-distance communication, the current Ita has completely copied Aita's database, and can use the computing power of the system to perform calculations and feed back the results to Aita.

The computing power of the system is of course not comparable to the current quantum computing unit of Aita. She can use the super simulation to give the result in minutes, so the progress is extremely fast. At present, the basic calculation symbols and numbers of the Canglan Star civilization have been calculated-the Canglan Star people use octal.

However, the progress in mathematics does not contribute much to deciphering the entire writing system. It mainly depends on the content of the paintings.

Therefore, these days, Mogu's biological team has been collecting and classifying animals and plants.

"Animals, we don't dare to touch other organisms except microorganisms, so as not to pollute the environment in the cabin. But plants, we analyze them after we collect them."

Ye Ming nodded: "Any new discoveries?"

"Maybe." Mo Gu nodded slightly: "We found a lot of small animals gathered under a tall tree species, sucking the gel secreted by it."

Ye Ming was slightly taken aback: "Plant secretions? This... shouldn't be unusual, right?"

The reason why Ye Ming said this is of course because of this phenomenon... there are many of them on the earth.

Not to mention "milk trees", just rubber trees...are all over the world, and even promoted the progress of industry. So far, natural rubber is still used in many fields.

Then on the Canglan Planet, there is nothing wrong with discovering a gel secreted and edible.

"But this gel contains natural enzymes."

Ye Ming was taken aback again, and then his eyes lit up—since Mo Gu came to look for him solemnly, it was obviously not a common sense question.

Yes, natural enzymes are not uncommon on the earth. Many edible plants and animals have natural food enzymes, and they affect the state of food all the time - such as after-ripening of fruits after picking and natural deacidification of cooled meat Tenderization and more.

Moreover, the enzyme Mogu mentioned is obviously the earth standard adopted.

"Say, what enzyme?"

"The enzyme that catalyzes photosynthesis." Mogu exhaled lightly: "The result of the experiment is ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase."

"Huh?" Ye Ming's voice instantly rose: "What about the content?"

"Very high."

"etc!"

Ye Ming raised his eyebrows instantly.

At the beginning, in order to brush up the theoretical level, he had completed all the undergraduate and postgraduate courses of the entire biology and medical disciplines - otherwise he would not be hailed as an all-round genius.

Although he usually claims that "I don't understand much", what he says he doesn't understand just means that he has not worked in this field.

You say he really doesn't understand...that would be a real joke.

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase is currently the biggest obstacle for human beings to carry out artificial starch!

If... the output of this thing can be made into that of natural rubber...

"Tell me first, are you really sure?"

"Sure - I know what you're thinking, but I think we should pay more attention to the biological characteristics of those small animals that eat this enzyme-containing gel." Mo Gu's eyes sparkled: "You said, is there a possibility that these animals can synthesize food by themselves by eating this enzyme? Even, they can perform photosynthesis?"

Ye Ming exhaled lightly, then nodded slowly.

He knew that the flora and fauna on this planet cannot be simply recognized from the earth's biosphere.
