My Life Simulator

The matching protein molecule has been found.

Lu Li's universal gene chip, or biochip, is about to come out.

Saying goodbye to Liu Qin, Lu Li hurriedly returned to the laboratory.

"Huh? Didn't you go on a date with Liu Qin? Why did you suddenly come to the laboratory?"

Professor He was surprised when he saw Lu Li hurried back to the laboratory.

"Haha! Liu Qin is my lucky goddess!"

Lu Li said with a smile, "Just now, I suddenly had inspiration and suddenly found my way."

"Oh? That would be great!"

Professor He's face was full of joy, "It seems that it's not without benefits to fall in love and show affection! Okay, I won't disturb you!"

As a joke, Professor He turned and left the laboratory.

The reason for leaving the laboratory is not to watch Lu Li's experiments. This is because...Professor He is worried that his existence will interfere with Lu Li's thinking and affect Lu Li's performance.

Inspiration, or ideas, this thing is very mysterious. An accidental influence, maybe the train of thought is broken.

Just like a writer's creation, when he was writing in a fascination, the phone rang, and he answered a call, maybe... The train of thought was broken, and Calvinka took a long time.

That feeling, like when the pressure on the bladder was being released happily, was suddenly blocked, and it was simply ecstasy.

Lu Li sat in front of the computer desk, closed his eyes, and consciously entered the virtual laboratory.

In the virtual laboratory, Lu Li saw the results of protein molecular comparison.

There are several types of proteins that have similar characteristics to the protein molecules in the virtual biochip.

One is yeast protein. Another is transcriptase. In addition, Lu Li also saw a special protein...prion.

Prions are not viruses, they are special protein molecules. But... this thing is more terrifying and scarier than a virus.

Zombies are already well known.

However, in people's minds, zombies only exist in movies and cannot exist in reality.

However...you are wrong!

Prions can make real zombies!

The Milikan zombie deer incident and the mad cow disease incident in England were caused by prions.

After prion infection, the virus parasitizes in the brain of the organism, eroding the brain into numerous holes, like a sponge full of countless holes.

This results in the loss of much of the organism's brain function, leaving only a frenzied aggression and instinct to eat.

Does it look like a zombie?

Moreover, there is absolutely no cure for prions. Because... Prions are not viruses at all, just a special protein molecule.

Fortunately, apart from the individual cases of human infection with prions in England, there have been no cases of prions infecting humans in other places.

Speaking of which, you may not believe it. In the human gene chain, the No. 20 gene fragment actually contains the antibody gene for anti-prion.

Scientists speculate that maybe in the distant past, prions once broke out among humans, or maybe... once there were zombies everywhere!

Seriously terrified!

Now, in the gene chip protein molecular comparison conducted by Lu Li, the prion has been compared.

Not so much, right?

Shouldn't it be a gene chip made of prions?

Lu Li shivered all over.

Even if biological computers cannot be researched, prions cannot be used to make protein molecules of gene chips.

In case of a Resident Evil crisis, where am I going to cry?

Leaving aside the prion, Lu Li virtualized yeast protein and transcriptase protein and began to do fusion experiments.

Under the electron microscope, the two protein molecules were floating in the culture medium and had nothing to do with each other. They were completely strangers.

Normally, the two proteins are not compatible at all and do not interact with each other.

Therefore... the protein molecules required by the gene chip should also need to be synthesized by some means.

Lu Li turned his head to look at the prion displayed on the monitor next to him, and frowned slightly.

Is it really necessary to use prions?

Lu Li's face was full of helplessness. I wouldn't use such a dangerous thing as a prion to kill me.

uh... so delicious!

The next moment, Lu Li virtualized a prion and added it to the previous culture medium.

And then...the effect is very different.

Prions appear to be a catalyst, and when prions are added to the culture, yeast proteins and transcriptases cause a violent reaction.

The two proteins are rapidly decomposed and rapidly fused to form a new protein molecule.

Take out this brand new protein molecule, compare the molecular structure again, and then... 100% match!

It worked!

Lu Li has prepared the protein molecules needed to construct the gene chip. Biological computer, has succeeded!

In the process of preparing this protein molecule, prions only play a catalytic role and do not participate in the reaction.

Therefore, the biochemical crisis that Lu Li was worried about did not exist.

Next, Lu Li continued to prepare protein molecules.

Through experiments, Lu Li found that as long as the prepared protein molecules are put into the culture medium, it acts as a demonstration, and the yeast protein and transcriptase will have a chain reaction and automatically fuse to form new protein molecules.

This is even better, no prions are used, and the danger is no longer there.

At this point, the rest of the operation is very simple.

Lu Li put hundreds of millions of yeast proteins and transcriptases in a beaker full of culture medium, and then added the prepared protein molecules.

Then...the yeast protein and transcriptase fuse automatically.

Before long, a thin protein film formed in the beaker, which looked like the film inside an egg shell.

After taking out this film, Lu Li put it on a glass slide, dripped it into the culture medium, added nucleic acid molecules, and observed it with an electron microscope.

On the screen of the electron microscope, Lu Li saw that the bioelectric signals propagated by nucleic acid molecules were passed into the gene chip composed of numerous protein molecules, and the "switch effect" of the protein molecules was activated, and the chip began to operate.

In the next instant, the chip protein molecules began to release DNA information chains.

So far, the biological computer has been successfully constructed.

Protein molecules form chips, nucleic acid molecules form input devices and data lines, and DNA information chains are storage devices, that is, memory and hard drives.

But... there's a problem here.

That is, how to read data from the hard disk of the DNA information chain and convert it to the display.

This requires redesigning a low-level data interaction program.

This underlying data interaction program is the current cutting-edge technology in the computer field - genetic algorithm.

It is not difficult to rewrite the machine language in the way of genetic coding.

In theory, genetic algorithms have appeared, and genetic coding technology has also appeared.

It's just...because the interpretation of the gene has not been completed, this gene encoding technology naturally cannot be put into practical application.

For Lu Li, things that exist in theory can be virtualized.

"Virtually create a decoder and integrate the gene coding database."

With a thought, something similar to a "light cat" appeared on the test bench.

The next step is simple.

Lu Li virtualized various components and began to assemble the computer.

It is similar to the normal computer structure, except that the silicon-based chip is replaced by a gene chip, and a decoder is added to link the input and output devices.

After assembly, Lu Li opened the program interface, wrote a program to calculate pi, and started running.

As soon as you hit the Enter key, the data on the screen scrolled like a waterfall, and it was calculated to hundreds of millions of digits in an instant.

"It's done!"

Lu Li smiled. Gene chip, or biological computer, declared a success!

Of course, Lu Li also needed to call up the gene encoding database in the decoder to read it and write down the underlying data.

Unfortunately, the data in the virtual lab cannot be copied out with a U disk, and I still need to memorize it by rote...

Huh? It seems...there are other ways.

This virtual laboratory exists in my brain, rooted in my mental consciousness. So... my mind connector, can it be copied?

With a thought, Lu Li opened the mind connector.

Sure enough!

Mind Connector really can connect virtual labs.

Lu Li hurriedly used the thinking connector to copy the underlying data of the genetic code that had just been virtualized into his memory.

Get it done with just one click!

Exiting the virtual lab, Lu Li opened his eyes.

In front of him is his laboratory at Fudan University.

In the laboratory, Lu Li repeated the experimental process in the virtual laboratory to prepare the protein molecules for constructing the gene chip.

And then... Lu Li did not continue with the remaining steps.

After preparing protein molecules with practical application value and constructing a film-shaped gene chip, Lu Li began to carry out various tests.

Test the computing power of the gene chip, test the speed of information transmission, test the ability to withstand interference, and test the ability to automatically repair after damage.

After all the test items were completed and all the test data were recorded, Lu Li started writing the thesis.

"A novel gene chip based on biological protein switch effect."

Lu Li wrote two copies of this paper.

One is internal information. Lu Li described the manufacturing process of the "switch protein" in detail. Every step and every data were written in great detail and accuracy.

Another paper was published publicly.

In this published paper, Lu Li deleted the preparation process of the switch protein.

It only describes the computing power, information transmission speed, anti-interference ability and automatic repair ability of the "switch protein" in detail, and also lists the detailed experimental detection data.

After finishing this, Lu Li raised his eyes to check the time. Now...it's the afternoon of the second day.

Well, indulging in scientific research is irresistible.

Lu Li smiled, took out his mobile phone and called Professor He, "Teacher, I wrote another paper, please take a look."

Results again?

When Professor He received this call, he was both joyful and amazed.

This kid Lu Li is really too strong!

After hanging up the phone, Professor He called Lu Li, the life assistant who was guarding outside the laboratory, again, "Lu Li has finished his research. Go and prepare food for him, and bring it over quickly."

"OK!"

The life assistant hurriedly got up and hurriedly prepared meals for Lu Li.

Professor He turned around and walked into the laboratory, and said to Lu Li, "Don't be in a hurry when doing research. It's not right to forget about eating and sleeping, you should pay attention to your body!"

"Inspiration came, but I couldn't hold it back. I'll pay attention to it in the future."

Lu Li replied with a smile, and handed the printed paper to Professor He, "Teacher, take a look."

"What did you research again?"

As Professor He spoke, he reached out and took the thesis materials.

At first glance at the title, Professor He shivered.

Gene chip?

What the hell! You are going against the sky!

Professor He took a deep breath and looked down at the paper.

This paper is very detailed, describing the artificial synthesis process of a brand-new switch effector protein molecule. Every step and every data are very detailed.

In the second half of the paper, Lu Li also listed various testing data and performed various tests on this gene chip.

Obviously, Lu Li has developed a truly practical gene chip technology.

"Where is the chip? Where is the gene chip you made?"

Professor He asked Lu Li excitedly.

"there!"

Lu Li pointed to a coin-sized protein film floating in the petri dish, and said to Professor He, "That's the gene chip!"

"It's really done! It's really done!"

Professor He looked at the protein film in the petri dish, and his face flushed with excitement.

In terms of chip technology, Huaguo has always been at a disadvantage. Whether it is a civilian chip, an industrial chip, or even a military chip, there is a big gap compared with the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

This disadvantage of being controlled by others has caused China to suffer a lot.

Now... the gene chip developed by Lu Li has fundamentally reversed the situation. It can even be said that Lu Li has created a new era!

The dominance of silicon-based chips will be shattered, and Lu Li's gene chip will surely create the future!

"Lu Li, being your teacher is the greatest honor in my life."

Professor He raised his eyes to look at Lu Li, and was filled with emotion.

With Lu Li's achievements, he will surely leave a splendid imprint on human history. His name will surely be remembered in history.

It's really... an honor to be his teacher!

In the beginning, how could I be so lucky to find Lu Li as a student? It's just like a dream!

"Lu Li, the successful gene chip research is an epoch-making great achievement."

Professor He reached out and patted Lu Li on the shoulder, "Gene chips will definitely change the world, and gene chips will surely usher in a new era. And you... are the father of gene chips, the founder of a new era!"

Uh...the father of the gene chip?

So, who the hell is a gene chip?

Lu Li touched his head, "Teacher, don't say that. Father of the gene chip, don't say such a name."

The name of the "Father of Gene Chip"... Lu Li always felt... a little weird.
