At the end of 2077, Yawgmoth stood among the exquisite models in the sky.
That is a visualized amino acid and modifying group. On the side of each bond and each group, there is a visualized Markov process to reveal to Yawgmoth the possible collapse direction of this long chain.
According to the rules of the second law of thermodynamics such as the principle of energy variation, this unstable long polypeptide chain will eventually fold spontaneously until it reaches a stable state.
This "folding" process is magical. Polypeptide chains and simple modifying groups can fold into a wide variety of proteins. These proteins can even be regarded as molecular-sized mechanical parts, with countless mechanical parts snapping together.
Carry out less precise but complex mechanical operations, and all life activities are based on this.
Complex eukaryotes even have specialized organelles to assist in the folding of polypeptide chains.
The order and folding method of all polypeptide chains, including information on "structures that assist polypeptide chain folding", can all be transcoded into binary or quaternary information and recorded by DNA or RNA.
DNA naturally contains "the elements that make its own existence possible."
Decades ago, this process was almost invisible to humans. Nature encapsulated the entire process with a method called "tiny" and stuffed endless abandoned codes and BUGs into the source code.
Yawgmoth's work decades ago is equivalent to providing humans with the working principle of "life" - he is like an engineer at the beginning of the 20th century, disassembling the logic gates from an alien computer, and then
Understand the working principle of this thing and deduce the operation process of the computer from a theoretical level.
Before this, humans were just using black boxes to test the functions of specific genes one by one.
After that, the map of biology suddenly became complete. Human beings were surprised to find that they were not fighting independently, but opening up their horizons on a complete map.
But now, the laws of life are further analyzed. Human beings suddenly understand how this chemical-based language works. The rapid progress of biology seems to be ignited overnight.
And when human beings "customized" neurons that are more suitable for electronic circuits, making the human brain and computers more closely integrated, human intelligence has been greatly improved.
This is how a new round of "cognitive revolution" begins.
Human beings before and after the "cognitive revolution" were completely different. The gap was as big as "being able to use fire" and "being unable to learn to use fire". A small number of ultra-conservatives who resisted this change lived in cities all over the world.
In the reservation area, mankind has ushered in a new round of rapid development.
Biology has received another round of improvement in this process.
For humans who have made a leap in cognition, the "huge and incomprehensible data" in the eyes of old humans suddenly become "simple laws". Hundreds or thousands of symbols, in their eyes, have the simplicity of a seven-note
Speed. Any complex data instantly has the beauty of a "music".
In fact, these things have always had rhythm, but the smallest unit that makes up this "rhythm" exceeds the upper limit of old human's intuitive memory, so humans cannot detect this beauty.
Just like summer insects cannot speak of ice.
On this basis, some people start from the function of the genome and reverse the entire process of life from top to bottom. Some people try to reconstruct the blueprint of life from the bottom up.
And this huge success is gathering in front of Yawgmoth.
Yawgmoth had a feeling that he was transcending the "physical layer" of life. The "inner layer" of the life process was being exposed in front of him.
——Soon, soon...
Yawgmoth felt dizzy. He unplugged the data cable behind his ears and rubbed his temples.
At this time, he suddenly felt in a trance.
——Is this year really... 2077...
Some parts of the memory became ambiguous at this moment. Yawgmoth suddenly wasn't so sure.
It's really strange. Some mysterious sense of dissonance suddenly appears.
Looking back on the history of the past ten years, Yawgmoth immediately felt a sense of confusion. To use an earlier historical metaphor, these ten years are equivalent to... the paper jointly published by Mendel and Morgan on the first day.
, and then Darwin also published the theory of evolution on the same day. Hermann and Wundt discussed the physiological phenomena of nerves in the next few days. A week later, Watson and Crick discovered the double helix, and three days later they invented the central dogma.
The supplement to the central dogma was completed within five days. In the next week, humans invented optogenetic technology, which can directly interfere with some physiological activities of the brain.
Such a violent advance is simply like...
When he came to his senses, Yawgmoth was already sitting at the dining table.
Xiang Shan slowly tore open a pork rib, and the gravy flowed across the one-meter-long wooden dinner plate. Xiang Shan put on insulated gloves and placed a piece of rib with cartilage on the plate in front of Zhu Xinyu, and at the same time told Yawgmoth
Said: "This is the magic of wisdom, Yog."
Zhu Xinyu's eyelids drooped slightly, with a smile on her face, she picked up the chopsticks and ate the steak in small bites.
Only then did Yawgmoth remember. It should be time for an internal dinner within the Superman company.
What did he just say... sighing to Xiang Shan about the rapid progress in biology recently?
Xiang Shan then gave a piece of steak to David. David also bowed slightly.
Xiang Shan continued: "You opened a door, remember? The alien spacecraft sent the key."
In the 1930s, an alien spacecraft brought some biological samples. What's even more amazing is that those biological samples were actually divided into eight different but connected systems.
On Earth, life only happened once - all life on Earth has only one common ancestor, the same primitive creature. However, the civilization that created the alien creation may have eight different origins.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is like a "Super Rosetta Stone" falling into the hands of humans. On the eight sides of the stone, there are eight kinds of words that humans cannot understand at all.
In a high-level language, eight applications with almost identical functions were written.
——That's not right... Instead of guessing that the creatures on a planet have eight different origins and use eight different enzyme systems, it is better to guess that this is a scientific research ship that has collected species samples from eight planets...
——But, if a civilization’s unmanned spacecraft can collect species samples from eight living planets, shouldn’t the technology level of this civilization be far superior to humans... Why... back then, everyone agreed... that spacecraft’s technology
The level is even more backward than that of humans back then...
…
Xiang Shan then gave a piece of steak to David. David also bowed slightly.
Xiang Shan continued: "The 'huge possibilities' are a sea of suffering made up of probabilities. But the power of wisdom can enable us to survive this dark ocean. It is the compass and the North Star."
Yawgmoth had forgotten what he had just thought. He stared at Ingrid. Ingrid lowered her eyelids, raised the plate with both hands, and caught the steak that was being offered to the mountain.
Yawgmoth couldn't help but ask: "Why are you so respectful to him?"
A mysterious smile appeared on Ingrid's face: "This is a tribute to the 'Emperor of Liberation'..."
…
Xiang Shan then gave a piece of meat steak to David. David accepted it happily, then grabbed it with his hands and chewed it without any care. Zhu Xinyu and Ingrid were playing around.
Xiang Shan smiled: "The 'huge possibilities' are a sea of suffering made up of probabilities. But the power of wisdom can allow us to survive this dark ocean. It is the compass and the North Star. Do you know BB(n)?"
