Chapter 845 Biology Expert
Because it will take time to transport the soil samples from Mars back, Xu You does not want to wait quietly for a month, but hopes to rush forward the progress of the experiment as much as possible.
According to the information transmitted back by the Mars probe, it is enough to carry out a lot of work. There is no need to wait for the soil samples to be transported back before starting all the work.
"Okay, Academician Xu, we will now prepare for the establishment of the project team."
After Xu You finished expressing his thoughts, Xu You's suggestion was accepted very smoothly.
Now Xu You has a very high prestige in the entire Blue Star. Even if some ordinary people have some seemingly incomprehensible ideas, no one will easily question them.
After returning to Blue Star, Xu You had a good night's rest at home. Early the next morning, Xu You received the news that the project team had been established.
Xu You took Lin Shi and Severi to meet with the members of the project team and explained his ideas and plans.
"This time, the content of our research is to understand the origin of organisms, the impact of various conditions on them during their development, and to find the essence of evolution. This topic seems very huge, and it has been the subject of Blue Star biology for so many years.
The content has not been clarified since..."
Xu Youyan described his thoughts in a concise and concise manner. The others listened to Xu You's speech very carefully and recorded something from time to time.
Xu You now has a very high reputation and status in the entire Blue Star, which provides Xu You with great convenience. At the same time, this makes almost everyone behave in a low-level manner in front of Xu You.
posture, for fear of offending Xu You.
After a pause, Xu You continued:
"It's like this. In fact, from a mathematical point of view, the processes from inorganic matter, to organic matter, to macromolecular organic matter, amino acids, proteins, and finally to simple single-cell organisms, can all be understood as events of extremely small probability.
Without intervention, the occurrence of various situations is random, just like a discrete random distribution. But if we find the causal relationship, we can greatly increase the probability of the results we need, thus
Let this time be greatly shortened..."
"As expected of Academician Xu, he explained such a complex issue clearly in just a few words."
"Well, please ask."
If you just study related issues, although it is very difficult, it is not completely impossible.
However, Xu You's goal is still too ambitious. It can even be said that it is absolutely impossible to achieve with current technology.
"Well, that's basically what it means. The natural development of the planet is like randomly throwing a basketball many times. Only a few can get into the basket. But if we sum up the shooting skills and determine the direction and strength, we can make it
The accuracy of throwing will be greatly improved. The time required to score the same number of balls will also be greatly reduced."
"Based on our latest information, it is basically certain that life existed on Mars. If possible, I hope we can reproduce the process of the emergence of life in the laboratory."
After explaining the core idea of the entire experiment, Xu You asked everyone to take a short break and assigned their respective tasks to the project team members.
Because being able to ask such a question proves that the expert understands his own ideas very seriously.
Such a result is largely related to Xu You's choice to study at Heqing College of Jijing University, where he can communicate directly with the top scholars in various majors and absorb the most cutting-edge knowledge in various industries.
Including scientific research discussions, even if other experts have their own ideas, they may not dare to put them forward in front of Xu You.
After Xu You's explanation, everyone finally understood Xu You's thoughts.
After all, everyone present is a world expert in the field of biology, and no one is an ordinary person.
"Of course, while we are improving the accuracy of our 'shooting', we must also increase the number of balls thrown each time. In this way, we hope to complete this almost impossible task within a limited time.
."
The fact that Xu You was able to come up with these ideas this time has a lot to do with Xu You's strong mathematical foundation.
After listening to the expert's question, Xu You, instead of being angry, felt a little happy about the question.
"I probably understand. What you mean, Academician Xu, is to use a more intensive and more focused experimental method to reduce the time required for the success of the experiment, right?"
Because in the fields of biology and medicine, Xu You has conducted very in-depth research on stem cells, pioneered the technical branch of human organ regeneration, and greatly increased human life expectancy. These results let everyone know that Xu You actually has
I still understand biology very well.
After hearing Xu You's words, everyone's expressions began to change.
After listening to Xu You's explanation, everyone became confident in completing this experiment.
"Academician Xu, I know this idea is very great, but I still want to ask a question first."
Although Xu You is not an expert in biology in the strict sense, everyone knows Xu You's status in the scientific community and dare not have any contempt for Xu You.
Xu You believes that the biggest difference between himself and other experts is that he is proficient in various subject areas and is a true interdisciplinary scholar.
Xu You calmly agreed to the expert's question without any emotional fluctuations.
"Yes, this is a good question. In fact, when I was thinking about this, I also thought about the same problem, but I already have a solution."
"Academician Xu, according to your idea, as long as the internal and external conditions of the planet are suitable and given enough time, life will definitely be born. But this time may last for hundreds of millions of years. How can we recreate it in the laboratory?
Where are these?"
"What is the method? Please give me some advice, Academician Xu!"
Xu You described his own ideas for solving this problem in a way that he understood.
Through Xu You's previous brain simulations, Xu You has determined some of the necessary factors needed to form life.
From the perspective of the necessary elements on the planet, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other substances are all essential.
From a temperature perspective, the temperature on the surface of the planet needs to be relatively suitable. It cannot be too high or too low. The temperature difference should be as small as possible, and the temperature fluctuations should not be too large.
If the temperature on the planet is too high or too low, it will be difficult to carry out the required chemical reactions to generate the materials needed for the birth of life.
