Chapter 395 Simulation
The Federal Academy of Sciences, compared with 400 years ago, today's Federal Academy of Sciences is larger in scale and covers a wider area. It even built an ecological balance circle like the Pluto base in the underground base. The reason for building such an ecological balance circle is not because of the supply of materials to the entire Federal Academy of Sciences, but because it is used to simulate other cosmic civilizations and life planets in the universe for scientific research.
And now, Su Yichen is standing in this ecological balance circle, looking at the surrounding environment.
"The entire ecological balance circle is run by three intelligent brains. As long as you have planet data, you can simulate the ecological state of each planet. On the other hand, this ecological balance circle is composed of 12 module structures. They can be combined and operated in one piece, and can also be split and run separately." Professor Shi Lei, president of the Federal Academy of Sciences, introduced to Su Yichen, with great pride in his words. You must know that this ecological balance circle looks similar to the ecological balance of each base, but has considered more details, especially scientific research, and has done more meticulously.
These words made Su Yichen have a strong interest, especially the fact that each module operates independently, is independent and can merge with each other. From this point, it can be seen that the main purpose of the Federal Academy of Sciences to build this ecological balance circle, and it has natural advantages in studying the formation states of various cosmic civilizations and life planets.
"Look at this area." Professor Shi Lei casually pointed out an electronic screen, which showed the range of 12 modules on this electronic screen, one of which is in a corner of the entire ecological balance circle, and there is a special label on this module: "This module was just completed last month. The ecological environment of the entire area is completely arranged according to the original ecological planet you are in the Andromeda system, and the distribution of the plants inside should be restored as much as possible according to the data."
"Well, it's exactly the same?" Su Yichen asked.
Professor Shi Lei smiled and said, "It is impossible to be exactly the same, but there is no problem with the similarity of more than 98% according to the adjustment of the intelligent brain."
This made Su Yichen laugh at the same time. Indeed, the differences between the two planets cannot be exactly the same. On Earth, the Federal Academy of Sciences can only try its best to replicate. However, to what extent can the copy be completed, and whether it is more than 98% as Professor Shi Lei said, Su Yichen still has to see it in person.
What's more, his main purpose of coming here today was to go to this area in person. They immediately took a special communication vehicle and changed into a special space suit. Shortly after the vehicle passed through a special passage, Professor Shi Lei told Su Yichen and the others had arrived.
Getting off the car and stepping on the land under his feet, Su Yichen looked around and was shocked by the ecological environment here at first sight. If it weren't for Professor Shi Lei's previous words, he even thought he had returned to the original ecological planet he had passed by before, everything around him would be like what he had encountered, including the sand dunes standing and the lake not far away, and the forest on the other side of the lake. This was almost what he and Luo Yan saw when they landed on that planet.
The Federal Academy of Sciences used the data brought back by Su Yichen to completely simulate part of the original planet, and even the plant part here was completely cultivated catalytically based on plant samples from the original planet. Not to mention the composition of the air, it is exactly the same as in the data. If there is a difference, there may be only the gravitational part, and there are also differences in the ionosphere barrier of the atmosphere.
"How about it?"
Professor Shi Lei asked with a proud smile.
Su Yichen couldn't help but praise: "It's much better than I thought. I really didn't expect you to be able to do this."
Professor Shi Lei nodded happily. Su Yichen's praise made him very happy. Unfortunately, the animals here are not as good as those of the original planet. Only a few herbivores were cloned by genes. As for those huge and extremely vicious carnivores, the Federal Academy of Sciences did not start copying them to consider security issues.
But what made Su Yichen feel the difference was that although the cloned herbivores looked similar to the samples he collected on the original planet, he always felt a little different in terms of body conditions or other aspects. He looked at several herbivores drinking water by the lake and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"It seems you have discovered it too." Professor Shi Lei followed Su Yichen's gaze and couldn't help but sigh: "Inviting you here is one of the reasons. We replicate according to the sample genes you provided, and the replication results are as consistent as 99.9% in the data. But the problem is that there are great differences in the final body shape, including bone structure. This is something we cannot understand and cannot be solved no matter what."
"What are the specific cloning steps?" Su Yichen is not a genetic expert, but he still asked. Professor Shi Lei explained it to him in detail. After listening to Professor Shi Lei's explanation, at least Su Yichen did not find any problems, because whether it was the environmental factors during cloning or the biological cultivation considerations, the Federal Academy of Sciences of the Earth did it very carefully. Even in this area, which could almost be simulated by fakes and realities, it was considered comprehensively, but the final results were still very different.
"Have you tried cloning a carnivore?" Su Yichen thought about it for the time being and couldn't think of any negligence. He couldn't help but ask from a different angle.
"On the one hand, it is a security issue, and on the other hand, to be honest, the gene cloning failed." Unexpectedly, Professor Shi Lei told him such an answer.
"Failed? How could it be..."
"This is exactly what we are confused about. Look at this..." Professor Shi Lei pointed out the electronic screen out of thin air, showing an image of an embryo. This embryo is a cloned embryo of a carnivore. The image is played in a fast-forward manner, with chronological notation on it. However, as the image is played, Su Yichen clearly could see that when the embryo died inexplicably while it gradually matured, and not only was it an embryo, but almost all the embryos collected from carnivore animals were like this. This was simply incredible.
Could it be that the drugs and genes in clonal catalysis conflict? Professor Shi Lei denied this question. If there is any conflict, herbivores will not succeed. The Federal Academy of Sciences has even tried to culture embryos without catalytic drugs, but all failed without exception, which makes it even more unreasonable.
"Our scientists have tried many times, but the result has always been like this. We don't understand where the problem lies, so I would like to ask for your opinion." Professor Shi Lei shrugged helplessly.
Su Yichen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was a physicist and electronics scientist, not a biologist, and had no detailed research on genetic engineering. Moreover, Su Li was already assisting this project when the Federal Academy of Sciences carried out this project. With Su Li's ability, he failed to solve these problems, so what's the use of him?
However, since Shi Lei asked him, Su Yichen carefully considered the possible problems. When he looked up at the sky, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
“Ionosphere!”
"Ionosphere?"
"Yes! It's the ionosphere!" Su Yichen pointed to the sky and said, "The original ecological planet has a very unique ionosphere structure. Maybe it's the change caused by this reason. But this is just my guess. I can't guarantee it."
"Ionosphere..." Professor Shi Lei thought about it and shook his head. Here they have tried their best to simulate and restore the state of the original ecological planet, but the simulation of the ionosphere alone cannot be achieved. You must know that the ionosphere is a relatively special environment, and it is also related to the atmosphere of the planet, including sunlight, radiation and other factors outside the planet. On the earth, the earth has its own unique natural environment, so a complete simulation is impossible. Moreover, because of the special environment of the ecological balance circle and the special changes in the ionosphere, it is also impossible to accurately grasp it.
"It would be too difficult..." In an instant, many solutions flashed in Professor Shi Lei's mind. But they were soon overturned one by one by one. According to Su Yichen's idea of the ionosphere, then the Federal Academy of Sciences had only one complete possibility of simulation. That is, to find a terrestrial planet in the universe alone and transform this terrestrial planet in a targeted manner to achieve a natural environment that is exactly the same as that original planet, and then conduct a biological cloning experiment in this case.
But if you want to do this, the price is extremely huge, and the time it takes is extremely long, and there is another problem. What if you fail in the end? Then all your investment and efforts are meaningless.
Not only Professor Shi Lei thought of this, but actually Su Yichen also thought of this. They shook their heads at the same time and rejected this possibility in their hearts.
Looking at Professor Shi Lei who was a little depressed, Su Yichen suddenly said something, which made Professor Shi Lei's eyes lit up.
"Yes! This is a solution, why didn't I expect it!" Professor Shi Lei said happily.
Su Yichen's suggestion is very simple, that is, the exploration plan of the Andromeda system that is currently negotiating with the Blue Star civilization. The determination of this plan is already a foregone conclusion. If the plan is really implemented, then the Earth civilization will travel through the wormhole with the Blue Star civilization to the Andromeda system. The original planet is not too far from the other end of the Andromeda system wormhole. If it is possible, only some scientific personnel need to be sent to conduct cloning experiments on the original planet. If the cloning can be successfully cloned, it means that there is no technical problem, and the reason lies in the particularity of the planet itself.
This is a simple rule of exclusion. Although such rule of exclusion also requires great investment and even takes a certain risk, the investment and time it takes is much smaller than the direct transformation of a terrestrial planet. However, Su Yichen still disagrees with the implementation of the Federal Academy of Sciences according to this plan. I don’t know why he always has some concerns about the Andromeda system. Perhaps it is because Garen’s warning and reminder that from the bottom of his heart, he resists the exploration and development of the Andromeda system.
However, in Professor Shi Lei's opinion, this is the most convenient and convenient method. What is more important is that the particularity of the original ecological planet, especially the special circumstances of those living things, has aroused great interest from the Federal Academy of Sciences. After Su Yichen and his friends came back, the data of the captured little guy and the person who died in the spacecraft made the students and genists in the Federal Academy of Sciences pay great attention to it. They believe that this is another way of evolution of a creature, and it is a completely different direction from the evolution of biological sciences in the Milky Way. If the mystery of this evolution can be understood, then perhaps humans on Earth can obtain another path of evolution from it, thus creating an unprecedented future.
In fact, at the beginning, Su Yichen and the others thought so, but they were not as fanatical as these biologists and genomicists.
Professor Shi Lei was very excited after being reminded by Su Yichen. He couldn't wait to ask the President for this question, and it would be best to finalize the matter during the negotiations with the Blue Star Civilization. Su Yichen did not accompany Professor Shi Lei to leave, but stayed alone in this area. He walked alone by the lake, looking at the surrounding scenery, and herbivores who had no natural enemies who were lazy drinking water and food.
After walking around, Su Yichen found a stone and sat down, then took out something from his pocket, pressed the button on it, and a sound that could not be heard by the human ear was heard from all directions. The herbivores around him suddenly looked a little uneasy. Not long after, a figure that was almost invisible to the naked eye flew from the depths of the forest toward the lakeside.
The herbivores seemed to be greatly frightened and suddenly fled in all directions, while Su Yichen continued to sit still, but his eyes looked at the figure.
The figure suddenly stopped about ten meters away from Su Yichen, and then looked at Su Yichen with a complicated gaze. There was fear, vigilance, fear, nostalgia and intimacy in this gaze. This gaze was almost impossible to reveal from the eyes of animals, but reality was so wonderful.
"Why? Don't know me anymore?" Su Yichen stood up with a faint smile, looking at the figure. The other party was the little guy he captured on the original planet. Now, the little guy has been sent to this place to ban it. He also wore a special collar around his neck. This collar does not hinder any of its activities, but only gives it certain constraints to avoid attacking ordinary people entering here.
