Chapter 949 The Chip of Life

The chips that give the squid intelligence are very... magical.

The substrate of this chip is a polymer material that is extremely difficult to decompose. But after being treated with a dilute hydrochloric acid solution, this polymer material can be decomposed by several common digestive enzymes, which is very convenient.

For Earth creatures, the most common dilute hydrochloric acid solution is naturally "stomach acid". But now, the higher organisms on the entire Earth have become extinct, and the remaining organisms that can produce stomach acid are basically not as big as this chip.

According to common sense, this chip is difficult to degrade in seawater, and even if the squid dies accidentally, it can be recycled.

Of course, the real key is not this material.

There is an independent genome in this substrate.

Yes, this chip has its own, independent, genome.

These genomes are completely artificial, built from scratch by physical means, and then quickly replicated by biological means.

If the Six Dragons Cult had not yet mastered the means of creating chromosomes from scratch, perhaps this thing could even have its own chromosomes.

The genome inside the chip can participate in protein synthesis, transcription, and replication. However, the chromosomes in these chips cannot operate independently and must be provided with energy by an external enzyme system.

The surface of the polymer chip is inlaid with a large number of polar protein particles. These protein particles are like the bipolar transistors of the chip, burning the pre-written program. The intracellular enzymes in general cells cannot affect the polar particles on the surface of the chip.

Only the "computing enzymes" born inside the chip can operate the enzymes on the surface of the chip, which is equivalent to the self-update of the deep learning system.

The chip will also release transmitters or electrical signals to transmit complex information to the nerves.

This is a...

It may be a bit strange to say this. But this chip is essentially an organelle. It is an organelle that can operate in the intracellular environment like mitochondria.

Each individual fiber of the squid comes from a neuron. At present, perhaps only the nerve cells of the squid can accommodate such an outrageous organelle.

And the squid optic nerve, cranial nerve, ganglion of the arms and legs, astral nerve, mantle nerve and other parts have such chips implanted. These chips are also connected to each other by artificial wires, which is equivalent to re-drawing the net across the original nervous system of the squid.

Judging from the number of genomes, the complexity of the genetic information of this chip is quite low, with little redundancy, poor robustness, almost no evolutionary potential, and the shell cannot be self-replicated. It is a standard design product.

However, it is the first purely chemically driven intelligent device designed by humans.

The performance of this chip is actually weaker than that of conventional chips, and due to the characteristic of "playing a role in cells", it is currently only available to squids. The Six Dragons Cult is also developing the exploration of "using chordate nerves and chips to build cross-cellular structures", but the Holy Lord has no follow-up information, so it is hard to say what is going on.

It is more like a conceptual product to verify the theory.

The Six Dragons Cult is exploring the mysteries of "the boundary between cells and non-cells, life and non-life", "the origin of life", and "the origin of intelligence".

Of course, the original program pre-set in this chip can be reproduced with conventional prosthetic chips.

However, the process of "chip computing enzymes" operating polar protein particles on the surface of the chip is difficult to simulate directly with algorithms.

That kind of chaotic chemical process is a bit too computationally intensive for traditional computers.

But this happens to be related to the important learning process of squid personality formation.

If the initial program of this biochip is directly recorded with a conventional chip, and then the chip is self-updated by relying on a general deep learning algorithm, the final product may be very different from the final product of the biochip.

I don’t know whether the squids can accept their compatriots with conventional chips.

It’s really strange to think so.

The "intelligent squid" is the result of "metal-based squid" plus "Six Dragon Cult biochip". If the "Six Dragon Cult biochip" is replaced with a "conventional prosthetic chip", can the new intelligent squid become a group with the original intelligent squid?

Maybe.

Perhaps the only thing that really matters is the "original program" that gives the squid intelligence.

Oh, that’s not right.

There is another new problem.

The implantation method of this biochip is very special. Its pre-entry program, its implantation method, and a whole set of technologies are all developed around the characteristics of the biochip itself.

This structure may be closely related to the existing personality of the intelligent squids.

To be on the safe side, Xiangshan decided that it was more important to get the full set.

The production process of this type of biochip is extremely complicated. At this stage, it may be safer to get a complete set of production equipment.

Xiangshan of Sagittarius AI once felt that this thing gave him a bit of "Ogon" feeling, and the reason was not complicated.

This thing is similar to "Ogon", both of which are "dojo in a snail shell".

Humans are still in a state of "half-understanding" about life as a whole.

However, the Six Dragons Cult is truly "imitating life" - with the existing knowledge framework, theoretical technology to do it.

Use the simplest reaction chain to run the most complex system as much as possible.

Even the "wisdom" and "dignity" far exceeded their expectations.

Xiangshan respects those squids.

After copying the technical information he wanted, Xiangshan walked quickly to the back of the cabin, dragging more than 240 heads behind him. The back of the cabin is the translucent nest of the squids. Behind the communication window, the squids huddled together, waiting for their fate to come.

Xiangshan took out a display screen and attached it to the glass window. The display screen quickly changed patterns and told the squids about their purpose in the language of these squids.

Afterwards, Xiangshan took out several bottles of non-Newtonian fluid protective fluid and squids from behind, put the squids into those cabins, and handed them the display screen with translation software recorded in it, so that the squids could talk to each other.

Then, he walked to a huge instrument.

Between the magnetic chain weapons and minerals, pieces of metal were shot out by Xiangshan at a very high speed, piercing the submarine shell.

The traces left by these metal pieces formed a circle, and then Xiangshan's gun stirred and completely pierced the shell. The shell and the machine fell out together.

In the distance, a big whale was calling and slowly approaching.
