Chapter 1038 Civilization and Decryption~

Leaving Academician Chang Huaxiang's office, he got into Zheng Hai's car with the genetic structure analysis data of Class A Martian bacteria.

"Where to go, Professor."

In the driver's seat, Zheng Hai turned his head and asked habitually.

"Go to the institute. No, go home first."

After thinking about it, Xu Chuan changed his mind. Things at the Xinghai Research Institute can wait a little longer. Anyway, Wen Yuanhang and the senior executives are taking care of it. Now he has hidden information about the genetic structure of the Class A Martian bacteria. more interested in the secret.

If it is true as Professor Chen Wenze said, then this invalid gene is likely to contain secrets from advanced alien intelligent civilizations.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing that I may need your help with."

While thinking, Xu Chuan suddenly remembered another thing. He raised his eyes from the analysis data report in his hand and looked at Zheng Hai who was driving.

"What's wrong, professor?" Zheng Hai glanced at the rearview mirror and asked.

With a low tone, Xu Chuan said: "Regarding the leakage and infection of Martian bacteria at the Yuehuatai scientific research base, find someone to help find out who is behind it."

For him, if it doesn't touch the bottom line, he usually rarely cares about this kind of thing.

Just like the international community's evaluation of him, the British and American media promote threat theories all day long.

Especially after the start of the space race, China has strategically invested a lot of money in related fields, but has not received corresponding returns. It is believed that his existence will sooner or later bring the entire country into the abyss.

There is even a small country that is researching the origin of the surname "Xu" all day long, believing that the surname Xu originated from them, revealing all kinds of incredible certifications overtly and covertly.

He has always viewed these things as jokes and would not take them to heart.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't care about everything.

Just as the Washington Times slandered his mathematical achievements, this time the Martian bacteria leakage and infection at the Yuehuatai base also touched his bottom line.

Driving the vehicle smoothly, Zheng Hai nodded and said, "We are already investigating this matter. We already have some clues, but it will take some time to be completely sure."

The matter at the Yuehuatai Scientific Research Base is no longer just a matter of the Mars life scientific research project.

Even if everything else is put aside, just the fact that the other party is plotting against Xu Chuan and trying to infect him through Martian bacteria has already touched the country's bottom line.

It is difficult to find the specific truth through Xinghai Research Institute and Xia Shu Space Base alone. After learning the news, Zheng Hai contacted the National Security Agency as soon as possible and organized special personnel to conduct a comprehensive investigation and tracking.

In any case, if you dare to cause trouble in an international cooperation project organized by China, especially a disaster that affects more than a hundred lives and interferes with all mainstream countries in the world, you must pay a price!

Hearing that Zheng Hai was already following and investigating the matter, Xu Chuan was not too surprised. He asked, "Who is behind this?"

Zheng Hai: "At present, all clues point to the Johnson & Johnson Group in the United States."

Hearing this name, Xu Chuan was slightly stunned, frowned and asked: "Johnson?"

He really didn't expect that this company would be the one causing trouble behind the scenes. After all, he had no conflicts with this company in the past.

Zheng Hai nodded and said: "It's not completely certain yet. We can't rule out that there are people hiding deeper behind it, but all current investigation clues point to this company. However, the intertwining of interests behind the Johnson & Johnson Group is quite complex. The specifics are It will take some time to find out who is behind this.”

Xu Chuan: "Okay, let me know when there are results."

"Okay Professor, is there anything else?"

"No more for now."

With the genetic structure analysis data of Class A Martian bacteria, Xu Chuan returned to the villa at the foot of Purple Mountain.

In the study, he connected to a small home supercomputer, uploaded the relevant analysis data to the computer, and then shouted.

"Xiao Ling, help me separate out the gene structure data of PIA·17-PIV·26, and then sort them differently according to the primary genetic structure, secondary genetic structure and each set of codon sequences."

As soon as he finished speaking, the response from the AI ​​academic assistant sounded on the wall cabinet in the study room.

"Copy that, Master~!"

"Leave it to you, I'm going to wash my face first." In response, Xu Chuan walked towards the bathroom, ready to wash his face first and wake up before studying these things.

"Okay, I'll work hard!"

Xiao Ling's voice came, and a smile appeared on Xu Chuan's lips.

If there are any secrets hidden in the genetic genes of Category A Martian bacteria, then at least he has to find the laws that exist within them.

He should be pretty good at decrypting things like this.

After wiping off the water stains on his face, Xu Chuan sat in front of the computer and clicked on the data compiled by the AI ​​assistant.

The first thing that caught his eye was the primary structure of the regular and ineffective genetic structure of Class A Mars bacteria.

For carbon-based life on Earth, the primary structure of DNA refers to the connection and arrangement of four types of 'nucleotides'.

This structure represents the chemical composition of the DNA molecule, determines the higher-level structure of a higher form, and plays a role in storing and transmitting genetic information in organisms.

If we use biology knowledge from high school to simply describe it, it is a polynucleotide chain formed by four deoxynucleotides (dAMP, dCMP, dGMP, dTMP) connected by phosphodiester bonds in a certain order.

In the college entrance examination, this is a must-test biological knowledge point.

Of course, the regular invalid gene structure of the A-type Mars bacteria in front of us is no exception. From the analysis data, it also has two different but nucleotide-like polymers as the starting and ending points to insert into the overall structure.

If he is not wrong, the so-called secret really exists, then it must be stored in these regularly arranged genetic bases.

Looking at the experimental data analyzed by Xiao Ling on the screen, Xu Chuan fell into deep thought.

Perhaps it is not difficult to unlock this secret, but he has to find the most critical key.

"Xiao Ling, help me sort out the number of multiple phosphate groups bound to each nitrogen-containing base in the primary structure, and then sort them for me."

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan tried to give a research direction.

Perhaps the number of phosphate groups hides the other party's information.

After all, the invalid gene structure of this rule is so clearly marked in the A-type Mars bacteria. If there is some information in it, then the civilization that stores this information should not have too complicated decryption methods.

Many science fiction novels will write that mathematics is the only common law of the universe known so far, and the same mathematical laws and formulas can be connected.

Perhaps he can study it in this direction.

Regardless of whether this idea is correct, he must try it first. Trying first and then judging right or wrong is always more cost-effective than useless thinking and wasting time.

"Received, Master! (ω)"

Xiao Ling's voice came. With the help of the small supercomputing center arranged in the basement, this stripping work is easy for AI academic assistants.

Soon, the number of multiple phosphate groups in the entire primary structure was stripped out separately according to his requirements.

02, 05, 08, 08, 07, 01, 06, 03

Looking at the numbers on the screen, Xu Chuan frowned. The numbers on it had no regularity at all, as if they were randomly marked.

At least he couldn't tell what information was hidden inside.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan said, "Xiao Ling, help me convert this information into binary."

No mistakes, just one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

10, 101, 1000, 1000, 111

After staring at the numbers on the screen for a long time, Xu Chuan let out a long sigh, leaned back in his chair, stared at the ceiling in a daze.

When communicating with another intelligent civilization, according to the fifth category contact rules, it is best to exchange information in the most primitive way that can be understood by both parties.

In theory, the more primitive the information used for communication, the better, without understanding the various aspects of both parties' science, technology, culture, customs, etc.

For example, a photo is more powerful than a USB flash drive carrying several TB of information.

After all, only God knows whether aliens use binary computers. Even if they do, they may not have USB interfaces, right?

Of course, the above situation is limited to the situation where they can contact each other.

What if it is the current situation?

On the basis of another intelligent civilization leaving information, the two cannot communicate and can only rely on another civilization to decrypt the information left behind. What should we do to know what the above information is?

Is his research idea wrong?

Maybe it is possible. After all, the civilization that can modify the A-type Martian bacteria through gene editing technology, so that it can transform the host to mutate in another direction and survive in the harsh environment of Mars, is probably not too low.

If you want to compare, perhaps the civilization that created the A-type Martian bacteria may be higher in technology than the human civilization on Earth.

Let alone other things, even if these Martian bacteria are not left by the Martian civilization more than a billion years ago, but left on Mars by other alien civilizations, it is at least two hundred years ago.

Because humans have been able to observe space and Mars for nearly two centuries.

In any case, at least this type of modified Martian bacteria should have existed on Mars for two centuries, and the civilization that can transform it is enough to lead the current human civilization by two hundred years of technology.

"No!"

"Maybe my idea is correct, but I am missing some other conditions."

Thinking, Xu Chuan thought of another possibility.

Apart from the mathematical symbols created by humans, mathematics is the universal language of the universe from any perspective.

Because it is a powerful language used to describe and explain natural phenomena, various phenomena and laws in the universe can be accurately described and predicted through mathematical equations and models.

Even if the symbols used by alien advanced intelligent civilizations are different from human Arabic numerals, at least the underlying cosmic truths such as 1+1=2 and the law of conservation of mass and energy are universal.

Perhaps it may not be applicable in some areas that humans have not yet known, such as the dark matter field and the space outside the universe, but at least in the universe composed of observable real matter, they are universal.

Of course, the expression methods may be different between different civilizations, but just like the pictures and videos written by computers, no matter how they appear, at least at the bottom, they are composed of a series of 0s and 1s.

Thinking about it, Xu Chuan considered little by little from the perspective of cosmic truth what he should do to write the information he needs to express in the genetic structure of a bacterium.

"Perhaps, the cognition in the macro sense may have to be abandoned first."

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

For any organism, the cognition of the world is first completed through its own sensory system.

Not to mention the different intelligent civilizations derived from different planets, even different species on the same planet cannot have the same cognition of the universe.

So for the macroscopic cognition, the sensory system of organisms is the scale of understanding the world.

The laws of the universe that humans believe in are actually based on the human civilization on Earth as a reference system (which can also be understood as restrictive), that is, based on human senses as the scale standard.

From a scientific point of view, it is not universal across species.

Because different species have their own sensory systems (scales or reference systems).

For example, the definition of day and night for owls, bats, etc. is completely opposite to that of humans (the rotation of the earth);

The larvae of cicadas are buried underground for several years (prime numbers such as 1, 3, 5, 7, 17) before they metamorphose and mature in midsummer, so their definition of the year (which humans define as one revolution of the earth) will be completely different.

There are also many animals whose perception of color (i.e. light) is completely different from that of humans.

Therefore, the mathematics of aliens and their understanding (method) of the laws of the universe are very likely to be inconsistent with those of earthlings.

For example, the computer system built by aliens based on their life concepts may use the ternary system, or the decimal system or other calculation methods.

This is because for any intelligent creature that relies heavily on the sensory system as a reference, the degree of difference in the mathematical laws in the classical world they live in will also be very large.

After all, from another perspective, mathematics is just a tool invented by humans, and the most core symbols and operation rules are all created by humans.

Therefore, it is very difficult to analyze the language between different civilizations through mathematics, because the core symbols and operation rules may be completely different.

Different advanced intelligent biological civilizations may have different languages, habits, forms, and levels, but as long as they live in this universe, then everyone's basic understanding of the universe is undoubtedly the same.

Of course, the basic understanding here refers to the understanding at the microscopic level, not in the macroscopic sense.

Perhaps, he knows what the other condition may be!
