Chapter 349 The Loudest Slap
"Gene chip?! The chip you're talking about is a gene chip?!"
Looking at the protein film in the petri dish, Mr. Wang's face turned red with excitement.
No wonder Lin Chen said he was going to develop chips, but he ended up creating a gene editing tool first!
So that was his real purpose!
While Old Wang was incredibly excited, Lin Chen smiled from the side.
The research on gene chips went much more smoothly than he had expected.
Since the completion of the new gene-editing tool, the development of gene chips has been progressing at breakneck speed.
Using the new gene-editing tools, Lin Chen quickly identified the protein molecule gene information of the virtual gene chip in the dream laboratory.
Subsequently, through exhaustive comparison, the corresponding protein molecule was quickly found in reality.
It's quite amazing that the protein molecules that make up these gene chips actually originate from cancer cells.
Cancer cells are abnormal cells. Compared to normal cells, the proteins on their cell membranes have changed for some reason, becoming abnormal antigenic proteins.
This protein is a key raw material for making gene chips.
When Lin Chen discovered this, he never expected that the key to creating gene chips came from cancer.
Fortunately, I started my research on gene chips right away. If I had waited more than ten years to start researching gene chips, I was afraid that I would have had trouble even finding the raw materials.
Because by then, cancer will probably have been completely eradicated.
"Incredible! Lin Chen, you are amazing! This gene chip will probably usher in a new era!"
Old Wang was still looking at the gene chip in front of him, his eyes filled with a passion for science.
"Professor Wang, would you like to take a look at my paper? I've already written a bit of it."
Lin Chen had originally planned to show Professor Wang his unfinished paper on gene chips.
The other party quickly shook their head and waved their hands.
"No, this is of utmost importance. You can't show it to anyone easily, and neither can I!"
"Besides, even if I looked at it, I probably wouldn't understand it. You should ask someone else in the hospital."
After saying that, Old Wang looked at Lin Chen with a gratified expression.
Although his achievement this time has nothing to do with mathematics.
Old Wang, however, still felt honored.
China has always been dependent on others for chip technology.
They paid a heavy price and suffered many losses for this.
However, the gene chip that Lin Chen developed this time will fundamentally reverse this situation.
No wonder that kid said those things on the news back then.
He actually did it!
The dominance that Americans have achieved through silicon-based chips will be completely shattered by Lin Chen's gene chip!
"Lin Chen, letting you come to our Longke University was the wisest decision I ever made!"
Patting Lin Chen on the shoulder, Old Wang asked, "Now that you've already developed the gene chip, why didn't you report it to your superiors sooner?"
"I want to wait a little longer. The chip has been made, but something is still missing."
Lin Chen scratched his head.
The gene chip in front of the two of them is probably finished.
Lin Chen had tested it; as long as nucleic acid molecules were added to the chip, the bioelectrical signals would be transmitted into the chip, causing it to start operating.
Once the chip is operational, it will release DNA information chains to the outside world.
To explain using modern computer terminology.
Nucleic acid molecules are like input devices such as keyboards and data cables, while DNA information chains are like memory and hard drives.
What Lin Chen hasn't yet solved is how to read the data in the DNA information chain and convert it into a data format that humans can understand.
Because the underlying data structure of gene chips is completely different from that of conventional computers.
A completely new underlying interaction program needs to be redesigned.
It may even require designing a new machine language that is compatible with gene chips.
Lin Chen has been researching this all these days.
And some progress has already been made.
In reality, some people have already conducted research on this kind of gene chip, and have even written gene algorithms suitable for gene chips.
This algorithm was proposed by American scientist John Holland in the 70s. It represents the solution to a problem as individuals, and multiple individuals constitute a population. By simulating the genetic and evolutionary process of organisms, it iteratively optimizes the individuals in the population and gradually finds the optimal solution or a near-optimal solution to the problem.
With basic algorithms in place, biological computers are just one step away from the final step: gene coding technology.
The technology itself is not difficult.
The challenge lies in needing a gene coding database that contains all DNA information.
Fortunately, Lin Chen was already researching human DNA information.
What he needed this time was DNA information, specifically information about the mutated proteins in cancer cells.
Compared to human DNA, this protein information is much simpler.
Lin Chen has temporarily modified the automated DNA information analysis device he made in the dream laboratory to analyze mutated proteins.
I believe that a complete database should be established soon.
He originally planned to wait until all of this was completed before formally reporting his new achievements to his superiors.
However, Mr. Wang was unaware of these things; in his view, a single gene chip was sufficient.
"Hey kid, stop hiding it! There are so many nasty comments out there, aren't you going to give some kind of response?"
"This gene chip is the loudest slap in the face you've given to those monsters and demons!"
Lin Chen: ? ? ?
After listening to Old Wang's explanation, Lin Chen realized the recent criticisms directed at him.
Because much of the research on gene chips can only be conducted in the dream laboratory, he has actually spent most of his time sleeping these days.
He even moved a bed into the lab specifically for this purpose so he could sleep comfortably.
In other people's eyes, Lin Chen just locks himself in the laboratory and conducts research day and night.
Little did people know that he was actually afraid of others being curious about how he could achieve results even while sleeping during the day, so he had no choice but to sleep in the laboratory.
That's why Lin Chen sometimes didn't go online.
Seeing the sarcastic remarks from those people on Weibo, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Since so many people are waiting for my chip, I'll show it to you first!
So, that very night, Lin Chen finished his thesis.
This paper is again in duplicate.
In one of the documents, Lin Chen described in detail the manufacturing process of the gene chip, including every step and every piece of data.
This is internal information directly handed over to Longke Institute.
The gene industry is of great importance, and Lin Chen has no intention of keeping this technology to himself.
Since he's making gene chips to help China deal with the US blockade,
He naturally planned to hand over the gene chip technology directly to the state.
The other paper is the one Lin Chen intends to publish publicly.
Just like the one he sent to Nature before, Lin Chen deleted the entire preparation process, keeping only the various capability data of the gene chip and the laboratory test data.
The main theme is something that leaves foreign researchers both desperate and eager to learn.
