Technology's opening live broadcast to build rockets

Since the United States proposed the concept of biocomputers in 1983, all countries have been studying biocomputers.

Naturally, China also has it. Academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have systematically studied biomolecular computers and molecular circuit conceptual diagrams.

Du Xingyu also specifically asked the teacher to contact the academician and read his research materials.

"Are you Du Xingyu? You are indeed a hero!" In a biotechnology research institute in the south, Du Xingyu met this academician. His name was Geng Zhe, and he was seventy-five years old this year.

"Mr. Geng, it's like this. I am very interested in your research on biomolecular computers and molecular circuits, so I specially asked the teacher to learn from you." Du Xingyu knew that standing on the shoulders of those who came before him would be faster than groping by himself. Much.

"It's rare that there are still people who are interested in biological computers." Geng Zhe said happily, "Since the rapid development of quantum computers, the scientific community has paid much less attention to biological computers."

"If there are young people who are willing to study this aspect, of course I will tell you everything." Geng Zhe said, "But my methods are from more than ten years ago. Now the United States and Germany are more advanced in this aspect than my research back then. A lot.”

While Du Xingyu was waiting for his laboratory to be completed, he was studying with Geng Zhe at the Biotechnology Research Institute in the south.

"The molecular circuit I designed is actually a kind of computer bionics!" Geng Zhe said, "Using the characteristics of biomolecules to produce effects similar to computer circuits."

"The data storage and computing power of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) far exceeds that of the silicon chips currently used in computers. DNA and RNA, the genetic molecules that encode instructions for life activities, can store more data than conventional memory chips. Test tube-shaped The biological computer contains a large number of genetic material fragments, and each fragment is a micro-computing tool, so the biological computer can perform thousands or even millions of calculations at the same time."

"If you want to build a biological computer, you must first master the physiological operating principles of organic molecules... Secondly, you must have a deep understanding of the structure and thinking patterns of the human brain."

Du Xingyu nodded while writing it down.

"These are my previous research notes. I have been researching them these days. Together with some information obtained from abroad, it will be enough for you to ponder for a while." Geng Zhe handed him a lot of information.

Du Xingyu spent two months digesting this information.

Two months later, he said goodbye to Geng Zhe.

"Mr. Geng, your research is very useful to me. I'm going back." Du Xingyu said goodbye, "If I have the latest discoveries, I will definitely contact you in time."

"Okay." Geng Zhe said with a smile, "I have spent my whole life and have never really realized even the simplest biological computer. If you can realize it, my research will not be in vain!"

…

When Du Xingyu returned to Peking University, his laboratory was basically completed, and except for some particularly expensive customized equipment that had not yet been delivered, it was already able to carry out work.

As a result, the top international laboratory named "Du Xingyu Biological Laboratory" was officially launched on the Peking University campus.

"First, I have to develop a protein chip that can store information and be received by the human brain." Du Xingyu has already started working.

He started designing a "protein microarray" on a technology simulator.

Each protein represents a piece of information, and countless proteins combined into a microarray are an information carrier. And this information carrier is the memory chip!

It is equivalent to the "memory" in the computer and can be used to store data.

In order to study the information represented by proteins and the way the brain reads information, Du Xingyu must study the operating rules of the human brain.

Fortunately, the technological simulator has recorded all physiological information of the human body in the fourth dimension, otherwise it would be difficult for Du Xingyu to figure out the mechanism.

…

More than a month has passed and the new semester of Peking University has begun.

Having just left high school, top students from all over the country have started their first year of college career.

In the freshman dormitory, several biology students were choosing courses.

In addition to the required courses, they also need to take several elective courses to complete advanced studies and credits.

"Lei Hua, what elective course are you going to take?" one of the students, Yu Boyi, asked.

"I'm very interested in "Financial Planning." said Lei Hua. He was the science champion in a certain province this year and chose the relatively unpopular biology department. "I heard that it will be difficult to find a job in the biology department. It is good to learn some financial management knowledge. of."

"I plan to take a psychology class." Roommate Tao Liqun said.

"Psychology? Are you still interested in that?" Lei Hua asked curiously.

"A bit, I heard there are many girls in psychology...hehe." Tao Liqun said with a smile.

"Okay, brother, introduce a few to us then!" Yu Boyi gave him a "you know" look.

"Don't you all choose elective courses for this major?" Song Qing, the last roommate, asked curiously.

"I have learned enough courses in this major. Of course, I should choose electives from other majors and hobbies." Lei Hua said, "This will be interesting!"

"Yes, I think so too, so I plan to take "Two-Dimensional Cultural Studies" as my second elective course," Yu Boyi said.

Here, in addition to formal professional courses and extended elective courses, there are also a wide variety of elective courses, which are offered by some professors according to their interests.

"Hey, I saw that this department has an elective course." Song Qing looked at the course schedule on the school's official website and said, "Do you have any applications for the course "Biological Computer Research"?"

""Biological Computer Research"?" After hearing this name, several people were a little uninterested.

"Not interested." Yu Boyi shook his head.

"It's better to take a psychology class. I heard that this teacher will also teach you how to fall in love!" Tao Liqun said.

"I will not take the courses in this department as electives." Lei Hua said simply.

"But..." Song Qing hesitated and said, "The teacher of this course is Du Xingyu."

"Du Xingyu?" After hearing this name, several people became excited.

Lei Hua immediately asked excitedly: "Is it really Du Xingyu? The Du Xingyu who cloned Tyrannosaurus rex and grew human organs in vitro?"

"Yes, look, it's written on the class schedule!" Song Qing pointed to the computer screen.

Lei Hua read it carefully, and sure enough the name "Du Xingyu" was written in the column of the teacher.

"It's decided, I want to sign up for this course!" Lei Hua said decisively.

"Ah? Didn't you say you don't want to take electives from this major?" Song Qing asked.

"This is different!" Lei Hua said, "Do you know why I came to Peking University to study biology? It's because of Du Xingyu!"

"When my college entrance examination results came out, Qinghua University, Jiaotong University, and foreign universities all wanted to admit me. In the end, I chose here because of Du Xingyu!"

As the top scorer in a province's science college entrance examination, Lei Hua was eagerly sought by many colleges and universities. In the end, he chose Peking University, and he did not choose the most popular majors such as finance and artificial intelligence. This is the reason!

"Du Xingyu is my idol. Think about it, what he does is so meaningful! As long as I can take his class, I am willing to give up all other electives!"

"Me too!" Tao Liqun also said, "The biology department is a relatively unpopular major. I read in the news that the biology department has become a popular major this year. It's not because Du Xingyu is famous. Many people are interested in the biology major. He would be a fool if he didn’t attend his class!”

"Add me, I will choose this course too!" Yu Boyi said.

"Okay, let's all take this course." The four people in the dormitory all decided to take this course.

…

When Du Xingyu attended class for the first time, he was slightly shocked by the scene in the classroom.

Although before class, he already knew that his class this year was the one with the most choices among all the electives.

But Du Xingyu really didn't expect that there would be so many people!

The large classroom, which can accommodate hundreds of people, is full of students! Even the corridor was filled with stools, making it impossible to squeeze in.

There are not only freshmen, but also many sophomores and juniors, and even many graduate students.

Fortunately, Du Xingyu is someone who has seen big scenes. He has experienced things like aliens attacking the earth. What does this mean? He walked to the podium calmly.

"It's Professor Du!" As soon as Du Xingyu arrived, the classroom boiled with excitement. Many students stood up to watch and shouted.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Du Xingyu waved his hand while wearing a loudspeaker.

The students were of good quality and immediately became quiet, but their excited expressions still did not stop. They all looked at Du Xingyu curiously, wanting to know what kind of person he was.

"Professor Du is so young and handsome!" Several female students whispered.

"Yeah, and he's very mysterious. He's achieved so much and turned down so many international medals!"

"I wonder if Professor Du has a girlfriend?"

"Hello everyone, I am Du Xingyu, the teacher of your "Biological Computer Research" course." Du Xingyu said, "Today is my first time teaching, and it seems that the students are very supportive."

"As soon as I came in, I heard several female classmates secretly talking about my appearance, and even wanted to introduce me to my girlfriend. They were really enthusiastic."

After Du Xingyu said the first sentence, the students all laughed and the atmosphere in the classroom became lively.

"I suggest that you don't pay too much attention to my personal problems, but pay more attention to biological sciences. I think that in the next few decades, biological sciences will become one of the most important disciplines in the world! You are lucky to choose Take this course.”

"Before the formal class, I would like to ask everyone, what do you hope to learn from my class?"

"You can raise your hand to speak. The student who speaks will introduce his or her name first."

After Du Xingyu finished speaking, dozens of hands immediately raised in the classroom.

Du Xingyu randomly clicked on one, and a dark-skinned male student who had just gone through military training stood up and said, "Hello, teacher, my name is Lei Hua. I want to know how you cloned the Tyrannosaurus rex?"
