"Lei Hua, which province is the top student in the college entrance examination in biology department this year?" some people recognized Lei Hua, but they were not too surprised. Here, we can see the top students in the college entrance examination from various provinces and cities every year.
They are more interested in Lei Hua''s question. Everyone wants to know how Du Xingyu cloned T-Rex.
Du Xingyu nodded and said, "the process of cloning Tyrannosaurus Rex is not the content of this class. If you want to know, you can pay attention to my starlight account, called creator vlog, which records my process of cloning Tyrannosaurus Rex in detail."
Hearing his words, some students have picked up their mobile phones and started searching.
"Professor Du, my name is Li mo. I want to know how you study? I don''t think you are much older than us. Why can you know so much knowledge?" asked Xueba, a studious student.
Du Xingyu smiled and said, "everyone has their own suitable learning methods. I believe you can come to this school. You must be students with learning ability better than ordinary people. My learning methods will be described one by one in the next courses."
"Teacher, my name is Feng Xuan. I want to know what our course" Research on biological computers "is about? In the course introduction, it only says research on biological computers." another student asked.
"Well, someone finally got to the point," said Du Xingyu. "My course, just like the name of the course, is to study how to make a biological computer, or how to make an ''artificial brain''!"
"In this course, I will study and discuss relevant knowledge with you."
"I explained in advance that this course covers a wide range of subjects, such as genetics, genetic engineering, cell biology, biochemical engineering, computer knowledge, etc. if you find it difficult, you can give up this elective course."
"Those who give up can leave in advance." Du Xingyu said and looked at the classroom.
But the whole classroom, hundreds of students, some of whom are not biology students, did not leave.
Du Xingyu waited for dozens of seconds. Seeing that no one left, he said, "OK, let''s continue."
Du Xingyu began to talk about the design principle of biological computer and what needs subdivision research.
"Our first stage is to design biochips," said Du Xingyu. "Biochips are also divided into gene chips, protein chips and so on."
"Here, we will not discuss the gene chip for the time being. Our first step is to study the ''memory chip'' in the protein chip. That is, the memory chip in which information is stored in the protein and can be checked by the human brain at any time!"
"You can imagine that we have made such a protein memory chip and transplanted it into our body. Our brain can read the contents of the memory chip at any time."
"You may not remember this information all your life, but you can remember it all your life through a small protein memory chip! This will change the knowledge system, learning style and lifestyle of the whole mankind!"
"I''ll go. It sounds too high-end. I don''t understand!" Du Xingyu''s learning goals confused these bullies of beiuniversity.
"Yes, how can our other courses be so difficult?"
"Don''t talk about you, I''ve been studying for three years, and our professor hasn''t thought about it!" said a graduate student, who also came to listen to Du Xingyu.
"Can this thing really be designed?" student Song Qing wondered.
"Don''t count on it. This course is learning, not really making!" roommate Yu Boyi said.
"This kind of difficult is what I want to learn!" Lei Hua listened with interest.
Du Xingyu''s class is an afternoon. During this period, if students want to go to the bathroom, they can leave by themselves through the back door.
But because he spoke very vividly and his knowledge was easy to understand, few students were willing to leave the whole process.
"The amount of information stored in a gram of DNA can be equivalent to one trillion CDs, and the storage density is 100 billion to 100 billion times that of disk memory. We don''t have to worry about the amount of information storage... Biological nerves have good parallel distributed storage memory and generalized fault tolerance... After establishing the information storage model, we can start to study the mechanism of neural information reading Du Xingyu said here and stopped.
"It''s time for today''s class. We''ll continue in the next class about neural information reading."
Du Xingyu was going to finish class, but the students refused.
"Teacher, I still have questions to ask!"
"Teacher, go on! We have time!"
"Professor Du, don''t go!"
Du Xingyu smiled helplessly and said, "students, I''m not only going to give you a lecture, but also to verify this knowledge. In my laboratory, I''m trying to make protein memory chips. So if there are still problems, you can discuss them with each other or email me."
"By the way, I still lack some odd jobs in my laboratory. Do you want to go to work study?"
"My teacher, I!"
"I''m going!"
"I sign up!"
"Teacher, I''d like to go, no money!" the students shouted excitedly and raised their hands for fear that Du Xingyu wouldn''t see it.
"There should be some labor remuneration." Du Xingyu selected several people, including freshmen, sophomores and juniors.
"Ha ha, I was chosen!" Lei Hua was also one of the people chosen by Du Xingyu. He was very excited on the way to the canteen.
"I really envy that you can go to Professor Du''s laboratory to do chores!" Song Qing and others envy that this is a rare opportunity for them.
"I just want to know if Professor Du''s memory chip can really be made!" Lei Hua said. "This is an invention better than cloning Tyrannosaurus Rex and in vitro organ cultivation!"
"Really, as long as this thing appears, mankind will completely change!"
"I think it''s hanging!" Tao Liqun said. "Although Professor Du is really powerful, this memory chip is too complex!"
"How can we make proteins record the information we need? How can we make brain nerves read it?"
"Didn''t the professor say? The next class will talk about neural information reading. When will the next class be?" Yu Boyi looked at the class schedule, "ah? How can it be two weeks later? Professor Du''s class schedule is too few!"
"You must call me next time!"
……
Du Xingyu''s first class at Peking University not only had a large number of students, but also attracted the attention of the society.
Because he said in class that the first step for him to study biological computers is to study memory chips.
The topic of memory chip has aroused heated discussion among netizens.
"Worthy of Du Xingyu, the direction of each study is so arrogant!"
"I hope Professor Du can develop it early, so I don''t have to recite words and texts hard!"
"Blow it? It sounds too sci-fi!"
"This is just the name of the course. No one really thinks he can study it?"
There are even foreign biologists commenting on this matter. Huro, a biological scientist from Central Asia, said: "My team has been studying biochips. If protein chips are built in a working test tube, they can perform simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. But if they are in organisms, I''m sorry, I want to say that at present, humans don''t have the technology to let the brain read biochips."
……
Du Xingyu''s research continues and progresses rapidly. He has obtained the information storage mode of protein analysis by using the human body data information of scientific and technological simulator. The arrangement and combination of bases on protein will become the "basic number" of biological computer. Different sequences represent different characters.
The brain nerve, through the transmission of certain molecules, can read this information.
The prototype of the first protein memory chip appeared on the science and technology simulator.
This is a chip smaller than a silicon-based chip. It is small enough to be implanted into cells!
To turn it from simulation to reality, Du Xingyu needs some mechanical devices to manufacture protein microarrays and complete it bit by bit.
"What information did the first memory chip choose?" Du Xingyu was thinking. He selected several goals according to the storage size of the memory chip.
The first step for everyone to be born is to learn pronunciation and words. If the memory chip can let people directly remember all languages, human beings will have more time to think and do creative work.
Du Xingyu first selected information in six international languages, Chinese, English, France, Russian, Arabic and Spanish.
As a memory chip, it can store not only text information, but also acousto-optic information.
Later, Du Xingyu specially chose a set of modern encyclopedia, which covers many disciplines and aspects of knowledge.
Words, language and encyclopedia knowledge, the content that human beings need to remember for a lifetime, will be stored in this protein gene chip.
When it is implanted into the human brain, the nervous system can read this information. It can immediately turn an ordinary person into an upper knowledge of astronomy and a lower knowledge of geography.
Of course, this does not mean that the person implanted with the memory chip will become a genius, because these information is only "known", which is equivalent to that he can search at any time and carry countless books with him, which does not mean that he "understands" and "uses".
This is just like that after reading a book, everyone gets different results. Some people can forget after reading it, some can learn to imitate, and others can draw inferences from one instance and bring forth the new.
……
In continuous research and manufacturing, the first memory chip was finally manufactured by Du Xingyu.
It is a colloidal ultra-small "film". If you put it on the desktop, you can''t see it carefully.
The memory chip can be implanted into the human body and connected with nerve cells to transmit information to the brain through the exchange of information molecules.
In order to facilitate implantation, Du Xingyu made extremely fine processing of the connection between the chip and the nervous system. In this way, the memory chip does not need to be implanted into the cerebral cortex, but can be implanted in any part of the human body, as long as it is connected to the nervous system.
At the end of Du Xingyu''s fourth class, he announced the news to the students.
"Dear students, I have studied the protein memory chip. This memory chip stores the languages of six countries and a set of modern encyclopedia."
"Is there anyone willing to try and implant this chip? I assure you that there is no need for brain surgery and there will be no side effects. It is just some protein. It can be completed only by doing a small minimally invasive operation on the skin, and I will implant this chip myself. Are there any volunteers?"
