Unparalleled True Technology

Wen Ming has been thinking about a question, that is, can dinosaurs really be 'resurrected' by him?

Different from the knowledge of the protagonist botanist in The Martian, and also different from the technical knowledge of Apple in Steve Jobs, the knowledge in Jurassic Park is actually black technology.

Although The Martian is a sci-fi film, in the process of landing on Mars, all technologies are achievable. It can even be said that they are all technologies that already exist in the real world. And Apple's technical knowledge is a product that has been marketed. Wen Ming also used Apple's related products in his previous life.

These are all achievable, even if Wen Ming doesn't get knowledge from movies like a dream, they can all be realized in the real world.

What about 'resurrecting' dinosaurs?

In Jurassic Park, humans extracted the living dinosaur blood from the prehistoric mosquito body in prehistoric amber, and then extracted the DNA of the dinosaur, and then resurrected the dinosaur with genetic technology.

It sounds like this is not difficult to do, and it makes sense, after all, the current level of technology has reached the level of cloning sheep, test-tube babies, and even human cloning. The earth's biological gene bank also exists, and it has collected the genes of almost all organisms on the earth, including humans.

The purpose is that one day when the earth faces a catastrophic disaster, the earth's biological gene pool can be used to reproduce the existing organisms on the earth.

But in fact, dinosaurs died out in the Cretaceous Period 65 million years ago, and it is simply impossible to obtain animal genes 65 million years ago by natural means. Moreover, the requirements for the living environment of dinosaurs are completely different from the existing living environment of human beings. Even if they can be resurrected, it is impossible to survive.

So, your idea is only suitable for making movies.

Cui Chuanming sat in the reception room of the office, looked at the two people opposite him and said unceremoniously: Mr. Wen Ming, I have heard your story, and I know that you have made a lot of money now. There's more money.

But we are people who are really engaged in academic research. We are not the kind of people who randomly find an unknown project, solicit research funds everywhere, and then take the research funds as our own, and dismiss investors with a sentence of research failure. You, can Do you understand me?

Cui Chuanming was very polite. Logically speaking, he was older than Wen Ming and others. After all, he was already a researcher at Harvard University, and Wen Ming and David were only freshmen at Harvard University at this time.

It can be seen that Wenming's reputation is really great on the campus of Harvard University, and he has already dropped out of school to start his own business, and has achieved success.

Is it really impossible?

Wen Ming felt very dissatisfied with Cui Chuanming's polite attitude and unkind words, because if it was impossible to resurrect the dinosaur, then he would no longer be able to dream again, which meant that he would surely die.

Cui Chuanming looked at Wen Ming's expectant eyes, sighed and said: Mr. Wen Ming, we are all Chinese. There is an old saying in China that when a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, his eyes are full of tears. I really don't want to use this inconceivable project to defraud you of your fellowship.

Some of the technical means you just mentioned are really impossible to realize. Let's not talk about how we get the genes of dinosaurs, just like what you said just now, using the genes of existing organisms to make up for the defects of dinosaur genes, it seems It seems like a very reasonable technology, but it is actually impossible to realize.”

When it comes to his major, Cui Chuan is obviously very serious.

The gene itself is very complicated. A complete DNA contains 3 billion genetic codes, which is the most basic module of life. Do you know how long it takes to read through the 3 billion genetic codes? Moreover, these Not all genetic codes are useful. In the process of life evolution,

Will choose the best and the best. Did you know that 99% of the genetic code in our DNA is the same as that of chimpanzees?

There is only a 1% difference, and there are two different species, humans and chimpanzees. Need I tell you the difference between humans and chimpanzees?

We have human beings as a reference. If we want to clone humans, it will take a long time of research and capital investment, and the success rate is still very low. But what about the 'resurrection' of dinosaurs? We don't have living dinosaurs as references at all. You Tell me, how to identify the genetic code in those DNA? How to avoid, take 1% difference to create two different species?

Although David majored in medicine, he also belonged to the category of biology, so he could understand what Cui Chuanming said.

As for Wen Ming, after getting the knowledge of those experts in Jurassic Park, he naturally knew that what Cui Chuanming said was very reasonable.

However, why do the knowledge and processes obtained in the movie seem to be realizable?

Wen Ming feels very strange now, he is like a person who buys lottery tickets, Cui Chuanming told him that it is absolutely impossible to win the first prize for 100 draws in a row, and everyone else told him it was impossible, even he I also feel that it is impossible to achieve.

But in his dream, he dreamed that he had won 100 lottery lottery jackpots in a row, and he could even remember the numbers of each lottery clearly.

More importantly, he had already bought the first prize number in the first issue of the dream, and he won it. So, will the next 99 numbers win the first prize as in a dream?

It is acceptable and understandable to win the first period, but it is a myth and a legend if it wins 100 consecutive periods.

Wen Ming was silent, but Cui Chuanming did not stop, and continued: Mr. Wen Ming, many people want to fulfill their dreams in a certain period after they have money. Your dream is to see the resurrected dinosaurs. I am very grateful for this. can understand...

Hearing the word dream, Wen Ming suddenly reacted: Is it time for me to think about whether black technology can be realized? No, there is no way I can retreat now, I have to resurrect the dinosaurs, if I can't resurrect the dinosaurs, then I may die anytime after five years. Most importantly, if I successfully resurrect the dinosaur, it means that the black technology in the movie can also be realized in reality. If the black technology can be realized, then, will I dream of a black technology movie that cures cancer? ? At that time, can I heal myself?

After thinking about this, Wen Ming suddenly interrupted Cui Chuanming's words.

Mr. Cui Chuanming, I know that because of your status as an assistant researcher at Harvard University, you are unwilling to accept a risky research plan, or in other words, a research plan that many people think is nonsense.

Wen Ming stood up, looked at Cui Chuanming and said, Actually, I know very well that my dream is unlikely to come true, but what if it cannot be realized? We think it is impossible to achieve, so why don't we do it? The progress of science requires fantasy. , we are fantasizing now, but one day after many years, can't our fantasies become science?

Wen Ming took out a recently printed business card from his pocket and put it on the reception table. Wen Ming smiled at Cui Chuanming: If you and your supervisor want to participate in this 'incredible' research project, then, Please contact me as soon as possible.

Cui Chuanming was stunned by Wen Ming's words, watching Wen Ming and David leave the reception room, Cui Chuanming felt a little turbulent in his heart.

Yes, the progress of science requires illusions. Can the illusions now become science in the future?

Just like today's TV, Internet, airplanes, etc., for ancient people, fantasy is nothing more than that.

However, there is really no way to 'resurrect' dinosaurs.

After being silent for a while, Cui Chuanming picked up his mobile phone and dialed his tutor's number.

As soon as the call was connected, Cui Chuanming heard his mentor say: Cui, it's incredible. Did you know that they discovered prehistoric mosquitoes, which have been preserved in amber for at least millions of years. The exact time needs to be tested. Hello. ? Choi, are you listening?
