Chapter 392 Biological Information
The Federation has been committed to the study of life and found that the underlying life structures of more than a dozen races in the Federation are actually similar.
The reason for this is very simple.
First of all, most life, or 99.99% of life, is carbon-based life, because carbon-based has the most complex and varied combination methods, as well as the utilization and compatibility of other substances, and it is superior to other elements in all aspects.
For example, the commonly mentioned silicon-based life is afraid of oxygen, and it is easy to oxidize into silicon dioxide, which is the so-called sand, in oxygen. It is also afraid of water and is easy to collapse and decompose in water.
Faced with these most common substances in the universe, they cannot resist. Even if such creatures are born, it is difficult to complete evolution in billions of years, not to mention that the speed of evolution of these lives themselves is far less than that of carbon-based.
Perhaps there will be silicon-based and other elemental life in extremely low-level life, but it is impossible for silicon-based life to exist in higher life, especially in the life environment that has evolved into an extremely complex ecosystem. There will be no "natural life forms other than carbon-based life" in higher civilizations.
Moreover, after reaching advanced civilization, most life forms cannot abandon the carbon-based characteristic, because carbon-based is still the best choice, and nothing is more suitable for building life than it.
The only thing that may have an impact on carbon-based is the self-made elements of Level 2 civilization. In fact, the Federation has begun to study self-made elements that can replace carbon, but the reason is still the same, why should it be replaced?
Carbon can accomplish anything, so it is meaningless to spend a huge amount of money to replace it with another element at this time.
Billy said to the researchers in front of him: "Now that we have this premise, everything will be easy to solve."
"There are many ways to combine carbon-based materials, but there are not many ways to succeed."
"It's like a person can face many choices in society, but he can only choose one path to achieve the peak. The incomplete ones will be eliminated, which also leads to the great similarity of life in the universe."
"Humans are eukaryotic organisms, and the Kates are rhombus organisms. The rhombus of the Kates is a rhombus with a hard shell on the outside and a structure composed of liquid and fibrous substances like mycelium on the inside. In fact, they are very similar. They can all be called cells, but the cell patterns are different. The underlying logic is actually the same. It's like Let's look at a dragon and a mouse. They look very different in appearance and their internal structures may also be very different, but their functions are actually the same. "
"And the flying civilization we see is not a creature beyond our cognition. It still has obvious characteristics of carbon-based life. Is it possible that it is not? Of course it is possible. Maybe I guessed wrong, but that doesn't matter."
"What we have to do is to try. Trying is the best way to solve the problem. If we don't try and rely solely on imagination, we can't get the final answer."
"We assume that flying civilizations are carbon-based life. I need to mention here that I am sure of it, but we assume here that they are carbon-based life, so how can a carbon-based life be lured? "
"Obviously, we have this knowledge. , carbon-based life is a greedy beast. Every gene, every nucleic acid, every nitrogenous base, pentose, and phosphate group is craving for energy. This cannot be eliminated. We can satisfy it, but we cannot erase this desire. "
"And how to find this energy? Through information, food information. "
"Every race in the Federation has different tastes, but we react the same way to what we like and don't like. We feel pleasure when we like to eat, and pain when we don't like to eat. Continuous evolution has allowed us to distinguish the taste of these two things. "
"For example, the human race, this is the most typical. The human race will feel sweet when eating high-energy things such as sugar, and will feel bitter when eating 妁之(a new species), because it contains toxins that are harmful to humans, and many medicines are the same. These toxins make humans feel a strong bitter taste when taking medicine. Why? Because most medicines are designed to stimulate the body and stimulate the body's immune system to solve the disease, rather than the medicine itself repairing the parts damaged by the disease. "
"Having said so much, I want to tell you that information is important to carbon-based organisms, so why don't we simulate this information, no matter what, just find a piece of information that flying civilizations can't resist. "
"Then our products will specialize in these things, which may be similar to their own civilizations, but you have to know that the desire of organisms to explore the unknown is crazy, and we only need to do so, and we will always get some feedback. "
This long paragraph makes people think that he is a scholar.
However, Billy Fen Si is indeed a biologist, although he is only a two-star biologist, but his understanding of these basic knowledge is enough to support him to make these judgments.
In fact, this is not a difficult problem. Maybe any guy who has attended elementary school can understand it, but no one uses it in war, and no one will perform this task at such a high cost.
Billy Fen Si is the absolute commander here. He can make these decisions, which seem a bit like a simple plan for kindergarten house-playing.
But sometimes simplicity is useful.
For example, many extremely detailed and meticulous plans in movies and novels do not exist in reality. As people get older and their understanding of the world deepens, most people will know that the world they live in is actually very simple.
A very large plan may be thought of by a boss or a boss in 10 minutes, and success or failure depends mostly on luck, followed by the subsequent filling of the plan.
Billy Point Four does not even need to simulate this plan in the virtual world, because the simulated results can only be used as a reference, and it does not determine the final results.
The plan was implemented.
However, the process of getting the results is quite long. There are countless ways to combine information, and every slight difference in dosage may cause some information to change from good to bad.
Especially because they can't see each other, they can only guess which one the other likes at this time, so these plans need repeated experiments, repeated and repeated, and lured back and forth once, twice, and three times.
Billy Point Four waited for nearly 3,000 years before finally getting what he wanted.
