Scientists have discovered long ago that the smart, cunning, selfish genes in the body actually dominate human life. Human life and death, birth defects and tumor diseases are all in this seemingly small gene combination.

With the development of gene technology, people are becoming more and more aware of the importance of genes, and there is a widely circulated saying, "In the agricultural age, the more arable land a country has, the greater its advantage. In the industrial age, the oil, The more energy sources such as mineral resources, the greater the advantage. In the era of life sciences, having more genetic resources and being able to recognize and utilize genetic resources means greater advantages."

In this context, the United States, the European Union, Japan, China and other countries and regions have successively spent manpower, material and financial resources to establish large-scale national genetic databases. In addition, due to the huge benefits of genetic data, companies such as Google and Apple have also established own genetic database.

The biological information data of these gene databases cover most of the known and protein data, which is very helpful for gene research.

Now, with Zhang Wei's order, Beidou has helped him obtain all the data of these genetic databases, and then integrated the data to establish a genetic database belonging to him, which is also the largest genetic database in the world.

The whole process is a breeze, and there is almost no cost, which is the strength of Beidou.

However, for Zhang Wei, this is just the beginning, and he still needs to collect more genes.

As far as he knows, gene sequencing is expensive. In a hospital, it costs 2,000-3,000 yuan to test a few genes, while the cost to test 400-500 genes is as high as 20,000 yuan, and in the United States, the cost is as high as 50,000 yuan. Due to the high price, most ordinary people have not undergone genetic testing. In other words, most people's genes have not been collected by his genetic database.

Therefore, Zhang Wei needs to find a way to obtain the genes of these people.

The most effective way is to reduce the price of gene sequencing and make gene sequencing more convenient.

If it is said that it only costs a few hundred yuan or even no money to do a whole genome sequencing, I believe that many people will be willing to participate in the testing. Because genetic test results can tell people a lot.

For example, users can know whether their children are their own, and whether they have helped Lao Wang raise his son next door; users can also learn about their genetic defects, genetic diseases, and the probability of suffering from certain diseases, so as to take preventive measures; If the relatives of the user have also undergone genetic testing, they can be queried in the database. Using this method, relatives who have been separated for many years can be found, and the situation of child trafficking can be effectively curbed. In addition, users can also use the "Ancestor Analysis" function to know their blood, such as whether they are mixed-race or pure Chinese, which country the mixed-race comes from, and what is the proportion...

As for how to lower the price,

Zhang Wei already has an idea, that is to develop more advanced genetic testing equipment.

In fact, with the advancement of technology, the price of genetic testing has been decreasing rapidly. In 2004, when the Human Genome Project cost 1 billion US dollars to do a human genome test, now it only costs more than 20,000 RMB, which is much stronger than Moore's Law. many.

"Beidou, help me collect the current status of genetic testing technology."

Zhang Wei is a man of action. Once he has an idea, he immediately puts it into action.

"Okay, sir."

Beidou responded, and immediately displayed the relevant information on the virtual screen, "The international gene sequencing technology has mainly gone through four generations, and the current mainstream technology on the market is the second-generation gene sequencing technology, which takes a long time, is expensive, and requires dozens of machines. The third-generation gene sequencing technology, that is, single-molecule DNA sequencing, can produce results in a few hours, and the cost is only about one-tenth of the second-generation sequencer, but there are still many shortcomings. The fourth-generation Gene sequencing technology, that is, nanopore technology, is currently the most promising technology. Once it is put into the market, it is expected to complete genome sequencing at a cost of one hundred dollars within a few hours..."

After Zhang Wei read it, his eyes lit up. The fourth-generation gene sequencing technology can fully meet his requirements. The cost is one hundred dollars, which is more than six hundred yuan. The price is not too cheap. The only consideration is that this technology is covered by a broad patent. But this is not a big problem. As long as you are willing to spend money, are you afraid that you will not be able to buy a patent? Things that can be solved with money are nothing to him.

Zhang Wei is not very good at business affairs, so he immediately contacted Liu Hai, Qin Xiaobu, and Zhang Zhijian and asked them to come to the scientific research building.

Half an hour later, Liu Hai, Qin Xiaobu, and Zhang Zhijian arrived at the scientific research building one after another.

"Dawei, can't it be that there is another invention against the sky?"

After Qin Xiaobu came in, he asked. He was used to it. Basically, every time he came to see Zhang Wei, he could see some black technology.

"I'm currently researching genetic technology..."

Before Zhang Wei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Xiaobu, "Dawei, I remember that when you invited me to join the company last year, you mentioned to me that you wanted to study a genetic evolution technology that would not only Your physical fitness has been greatly enhanced, and your lifespan can also be greatly increased. Are you going to tell us that you have succeeded in your research by letting us come this time?"

Zhang Wei paused after hearing the words, then nodded and said, "Well, it was indeed successful, and I have already used it, and my physique has increased to 2.1 times of the original."

He didn't come to Liu Hai and the others today to talk about this matter, but since Qin Xiaobu mentioned it, it's okay to say it. Thinking about it carefully, it's time for Liu Hai and the others to use the genetic evolution fluid. Moreover, he believed that the three of Liu Hai could keep it secret.

"Gene evolution fluid? 2.1 times the constitution? Increased lifespan?"

Qin Xiaobu's eyes lit up immediately, "Dawei, after using the genetic evolution liquid, has the time to have sex with the girl also become longer, is there any problem with it seven times a night?"

"You bastard, I was really defeated by you."

Zhang Wei glanced at Qin Xiaobu angrily, and said, "The genetic evolution fluid I have developed is to optimize and modify genes to make human genes stronger, so as to achieve the purpose of human evolution. , the user can achieve up to ten times the physical fitness of ordinary people, and the worst effect can also cure many physical diseases including cancer and AIDS, and become healthy from then on.

After the research came out, I conducted human experiments, and the users with the best results not only cured AIDS, but also reached 3.7 times the physical fitness of ordinary people.

In addition, because the genetic evolution liquid can cure the genetic defects and all diseases in the body, and improve the physical fitness, it can make people live healthy all the time. As long as there is no accident, they can live to the theoretical life span, at least 150 years old! "

"Did I hear you right? Cure cancer, cure AIDS, and live to 150!"

Qin Xiaobu was shocked, "Oh my God, compared with anti-gravity flying cars and intelligent robots, the genetic evolution fluid is really awesome!"

"Dawei, is this... is this true?"

Zhang Zhijian's breathing became short of breath, "My parents are already old and seriously ill, and their health is getting worse day by day. You must give me two copies of genetic evolution fluid, and I will send them there. Today! Immediately." !immediately!"

Liu Hai's expression turned serious, "Dawei, if we let the outside world know, everyone will go crazy, let alone cure cancer and AIDS, these two incurable diseases, just being able to live to 150 years old is enough to make people crazy !No one can resist the temptation of longevity, especially those political and business giants who control the world. Their greatest wish is to 'borrow another five hundred years from the sky'. In order to live longer, they can do anything beyond the bottom line!"
