Chapter 534: Computational seed science is officially born!(1/2)
Seed science was officially established in 1876 and has developed for more than 150 years. However, almost all research is conducted through a combination of biological theory and repeated experiments. Most of the people present are experts in seed science, regardless of their theoretical and experimental experience.
All are extremely rich, but I have never heard of anyone trying to deduce DNA mutations from a mathematical level!
So when Qin Ke said this, everyone was stunned.
This...is this possible?
If anyone else had said this, everyone would have laughed at him for not overestimating his abilities and being too whimsical.
But the person who said this was Qin Ke. With Qin Ke's attainments and reputation in mathematics, no one in the room dared to speak easily, and their expressions unconsciously paid more attention to him.
Professor Yan's back was also soaked with cold sweat. He forced himself to calm down and kept comforting himself: It is absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible, to use mathematics to deduce the results of DNA mutations. There is currently no relevant theory at all, let alone
People have done it!
Under the attention of everyone, Qin Ke asked someone to find a large whiteboard. He stood on the stage, picked up an oil-based pen, and started writing with the pen as a sword.
The fog of truth that no one had ever touched was cracked open for the first time, revealing the vaguely distant avenue.
"According to the catastrophe theory proposed by the French mathematician Rehom, the following equation can be listed: dt/)^2..."
As rows of increasingly complex mathematical equations appeared on the big whiteboard, the audience became quiet after a brief commotion. Most people looked at each other, and then saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
The relationship between biology and mathematics is far less close than the relationship between physics and mathematics. To put it bluntly, except for people who are really interested in biology, it is often people who are not outstanding in mathematics and want to engage in scientific research who choose biology.
as a professional direction.
In the process of biological research, there are not many opportunities to use mathematics, let alone advanced mathematical knowledge. Therefore, the older the biological experts are, the more mathematical knowledge they forget.
Looking at the lines of mathematical calculations written by Qin Ke, more and more people are in a state of confusion, and more and more people are not aware of the seriousness.
An old professor with a bit of gray hair asked the scholar friend next to him in a low voice: "Do you understand?"
"I only understood the first ten lines...what about you?"
"You are better than me. I can only understand the first eight lines."
Another old expert who heard the conversation between the two smiled bitterly and said: "You are all better than me. I only understand the first line of Chinese."
Amid countless whispers, exclamations, and shocked gazes, Qin Ke's mathematical calculations continued to flow out smoothly. At this time, except Ning Qingyun, who could still hold her white chin and smile to understand all Qin Ke's derivation processes,
No one among the more than two hundred people present could understand what Qin Ke was writing.
The first big whiteboard was full, and Qin Ke changed it to another one. Almost five minutes later, Qin Ke stopped writing, pointed at the final number on the second whiteboard and said:
"Please see, everyone, the final mutation rate of b9 was calculated to be 9.98 per 10,000, which is approximately equal to one in a thousand. And through the proof of the random function, we can conclude that within the range of natural numbers, random values are uncontrollable. This proves
The mutation of b9 is random and uncontrollable. In addition, this genetic equation has no real solution, that is, it cannot be inherited by the next generation. At this point, I have completed all the derivation, is there anything else you don’t understand?”
It was so quiet under the stage that you could hear a pin drop.
There is only one thought left in everyone's mind:
I don’t understand anything about what you wrote!
Of course, they knew one thing. From the comparison between Qin Ke's calm and confident expression and the pale face and sweat-covered Yan Fulong next to him, they knew that Qin Ke's conclusion was correct, and Yan Fulong was actually informed.
Yes, this is deliberately concealed.
Qin Ke smiled and said: "Since there is nothing you don't understand, I won't waste everyone's time with unnecessary explanations."
Everyone: "..."
Qin Ke turned to look at Yan Fulong: "Professor Yan, is my evidence sufficient? If you have any doubts about my derivation process, you can take a photo at any time and send it to any mathematician in Xia for evaluation. If
If there are any mistakes or omissions, I will publish them in the newspaper to apologize to you."
Given Qin Ke's current status as holding the Xia Guochen Prize in Mathematics, the Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics, and the Cole Prize in Number Theory, being able to say such a thing naturally shows that he is 100% confident.
Yan Fulong's face was ashen and he wanted to make excuses, but he didn't know where to start.
Qi Pingyi, the president of the association, said: "Okay, this is the end of Professor Yan's report. Let's start the next round of reports."
In fact, he didn't understand Qin Ke's derivation process, but sometimes he didn't need to understand, he just needed to know how to make a judgment.
Yan Fulong rolled off the stage in a gray manner, and Maoqing Seed Group was all disgraced. The chairman, general manager and others all looked embarrassed, but it was not directed at Qin Ke, but at Yan Fulong.
How dare Yan Fulong use such little tricks to trick them!
Thinking of the huge bonus given to Yan Fulong every year, the two people's faces became even more ugly.
Compared with the embarrassment of the representatives of Maoqing Seed Group, Sang Yijiang, the chairman and general manager of Danong Seed Industry, was overjoyed. He has always cooperated happily with Qingning Technology, and is also considered a friend with Qin Kening Qingyun, and with Mao Qingyun.
Qing Seed Industry Group also has a competitive relationship, so it is natural to see Maoqing Seed Industry Group suffer such a situation.
With this episode, the atmosphere of the following reports was obviously much more down-to-earth. Some reporters mentioned the experimental data in passing and did not dare to stay on the PPT page at all. The audience gave out knowing smiles.
Knowing that these reporters felt guilty, they were afraid that Qin Ke, who was sitting in the audience, would pull out their tails.
Qin Ke did not say anything anymore, but as long as he sat here, he was the biggest deterrent.
The person in charge of the jury in the first row quietly smiled at Qi Ping, the president next to him, and said, "What a formidable young man. Qin Ke sat here and completed the preliminary screening for us."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Qi Ping smiled for a while and said nothing. The projects of those with a guilty conscience can be directly crossed out from the candidate list, which indeed reduces the judging workload of the jury.
.
At the same time, he also had some vague expectations in his heart. The next report was about Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun. What kind of new trend would these two young people who constantly surprise people bring to the seed industry?
Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun's report meeting was near noon. It was the last report in the morning, and in a sense it was the finale.
When the emcee read out, "Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun will give academic reports next," the audience quickly fell silent, and countless complex eyes focused on the two outstanding-looking young men and women on the stage.
To everyone's surprise, it was Ning Qingyun who stepped onto the podium.
Ning Qingyun wears a pure white mink fur top, paired with simple jeans and canvas shoes. Her simplicity exudes a sense of purity unique to a girl, and she stands out among the attendees who are at least forty years old.
Facing countless eyes, Ning Qingyun took a deep breath and started her report with a beautiful girl's voice:
"Hello everyone, my name is Ning Qingyun. The topic of today's report by Qin Ke and I is - 'Computational Seedology'."
Hearing this unfamiliar term, everyone present looked at each other. Generally speaking, the reports here are biased towards the application level, and few are purely theoretical. And "computational seed science" is obviously biased towards theory.
Topic report.
Just listen to Ning Qingyun continue to speak into the microphone: "As we all know, currently seed science is mainly promoted by basic theory and experimental trial and error. Relatively speaking, compared with the ever-changing computer science, materials science, medical science, etc., seed science is mainly driven by basic theory and experimental trial and error.
The development of science is obviously very slow. This is because planting experiments take too much time and the time cost of trial and error is too high. Facing infinite possibilities, we can only rely on basic theory, experience and even scientific research intuition, and rely on scientific knowledge.
Only with a certain amount of luck can we produce excellent new seeds, which naturally makes the probability of success very low and the development of the discipline extremely slow."
"Qin Ke and I usually focus on mathematical theories and have some experience in computers, so we thought about whether we could use mathematical methods to conduct mathematical analysis, supplemented by computers to establish mathematical models, and finally deduce the method with the highest success rate in seed cultivation.
New directions and even detailed experimental plans can save countless manpower and material resources, especially time costs. Fortunately, we have initially established a relevant theoretical system. This is the topic of our report today, and we named it—
—Computational Seedology!”
Wow! Ning Qingyun’s words shocked everyone in the audience. Countless people’s eyes widened, and some even stood up subconsciously!
Nowadays, many emerging disciplines have been established using computers and mathematics as tools, such as computational physics, computational chemistry, etc., including subdivided computational materials science, computational fluid dynamics, and the emerging computational biology.
But computational seed science is unheard of and unseen!
The two extremely young students in front of them actually claimed to have created a new theory, and could use mathematical data analysis methods, mathematical modeling and computer technology to deduce new directions with the highest probability of success in the development of new seeds, and even
Is it a detailed experimental plan?
is it possible?
Under countless looks of shock, confusion, and disbelief, Ning Qingyun, who was a little nervous at first, has completely calmed down. She continued calmly: "Just now, my partner Qin Ke has used practical examples to teach me
Everyone has shown the tip of the iceberg of computational seed science. Yes, the core of computational seed science is to conduct in-depth analysis and exploration of DNA, study and apply the characteristics of DNA, and deduce how it mutates, whether the probability of mutation is high, and how it is inherited and whether it is.
There will be generational decay and so on..."
It turns out that Qin Ke’s previous derivation process is part of computational seed science!
Everyone present who was originally unaware of this could not help but look excited. Anyone with a little discernment could see the huge potential of this newly created discipline.
Time slowly points to noon. Logically speaking, although the noon report period is the finale, it is also the time when the audience is most likely to get tired and distracted. However, the new theoretical disciplines mentioned by Ning Qingyun are too amazing, so I don’t care if I am present.
Whether they understood or not, everyone concentrated and listened carefully. Many people even took notes desperately, waiting to be reviewed and digested later.
Ning Qingyun's report is slowly coming to an end. In fact, her report is relatively concise, and many details are not mentioned, because once it is unfolded, it cannot be finished in half an hour, and it would take two days and two nights to finish it.
.
She just briefly explained the main ideas, meanings and methods of computational seed science, and this part alone lasted about twenty minutes.
Everyone present seemed to understand it, but they could still understand the core content, but they just didn’t know how to apply it, let alone whether this newly created theory was practical.
But in the last ten minutes, Ning Qingyun responded to their questions with examples.
In conjunction with the PPT switched by Qin Ke, Ning Qingyun used a beautiful girl's voice to explain how to use computational seed science to deduce and design a new tomato seed cultivation plan.
Due to time constraints and technical confidentiality issues, the details are also not stated, but the self-consistent logic, clear ideas, clear deduction steps, and even specific cultivation plans are enough to make the seed science experts present feel excited.
!
They are all extremely experienced connoisseurs and top experts in the industry. As long as they understand the mathematics and modeling part as "this is the difficult but correct part of mathematics" and then focus on the content of seed cultivation, they can keep up with Ning Qing.
Jun's explanation rhythm, and finally marveled at the huge power of computational seed science!
"At present, we have not achieved many results through computational seed science. The five new tomato seeds that were launched three or four months ago are preliminary experimental products. The above is the content of our report today. Thank you everyone!"
