Chapter 550 Difficulties
In a dedicated laboratory.
Li Qingye used the gene memory recording device to record the prepared relevant knowledge into the genes of the experimental cells bit by bit.
The principle of this genetic memory recording device is actually a derivative technology developed after figuring out how genes remember data.
More than a dozen related laboratories have developed decoding technology and entry technology through genetic coding technology.
However, compared with genetic memory decoding technology, genetic memory recording technology still has some problems.
For example, the problem Li Qingye is facing now.
Several assistants operated the equipment, but the input speed was as slow as a turtle for only 10G of content.
When Li Qingye saw the progress , there was no anxious look on his face, because this was within his expectations.
Genetic memory recording and brain cell are two different modes.
The interactive communication between biochips and brain cells is based on the transmission of brain waves and neuronal signals, which are fast, vague, and forgettable.
The recording of genetic memory will change part of the genetic sequence. This is a fundamental recording and will basically not be forgotten unless the genetic sequence responsible for recording information is destroyed.
Li Qingye calls this gene responsible for recording information the "memory gene."
Typically, these memory genes are placed in recessive regions of the gene sequence.
In fact, humans, like many animals and plants, have a large portion of genes that seem to be useless. These genes generally have no effect in the human body.
However, after extensive research by researchers at Sapiens, the basic situation of human genes has been figured out.
Human genes can be divided into dominant genes and recessive genes, with the proportions of 35% to 37% and 63% to 65% respectively.
Among them, the vast majority of memory genes are recessive genes, and the memory genes of dominant genes only account for about 3 to 9%.
This phenomenon causes humans to have an inexplicable fear of certain animals or objects.
In fact, this is a manifestation of a small part of ancestral memory from ancient times being activated.
Humans are relatively weak in this area.
In other animals, such as elephants, migratory birds, and whales, most of their memory genes are in a dominant state, so they can acquire more memories.
This is actually an evolutionary choice.
The reason why humans abandoned the inheritance of this genetic memory is that humans developed language.
Although animals have a simple voice communication mechanism, it is difficult for them to pass a lot of information to the next generation through sound, and they can only rely on genetic memory.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage of genetic memory inheritance is that the knowledge is fixed and does not require hands-on teaching, which increases the survival rate of the cubs; the disadvantage is that genetic inheritance is not 100%, memory loss may occur, and genetic memory will form an instinctive reaction and can only be passed down from one generation to the next. In addition, the information of inherited memory is also very limited.
The advantages of language and writing inheritance are that the information density is relatively high, the information carrier can be separated from the organism itself, and it can be inherited one-to-many; the disadvantages are that the cub breeding cycle is too long, and they cannot hunt and live independently in their infancy. Without the protection and education of the previous generation, the survival rate is too low. Even if they barely survive, they will degenerate into savages.
The genetic memory inheritance that Li Qingye wants is not the original model of animals, but one that eliminates some shortcomings.
For example, problems such as low information density, memory loss, fuzzy memory, and slow input speed.
"Chairman, entry is complete."
Li Qingye glanced at the time. It took him 3 hours and 24 minutes to record 10G of data into the memory gene. He shook his head and said, "It's too slow. It seems that we must improve the recording method."
As for why we don’t use the interactive communication method between biochips and brain cells to record information into memory genes.
The reason is very simple, because the memory of the brain cells of an organism will not be 100% recorded by the memory genes, this is fuzzy memory.
This situation is ultimately caused by the brain's self-protection mechanism.
Most of the memories in human life will be forgotten, and only those profound contents can be recorded.
Li Qingye had activated the memories of his ancestors and knew this very well.
Among his ancestors' memories, only the important contents will remain.
Things like eating a bowl of rice today or drinking an extra glass of water yesterday are unlikely to be recorded by the memory genes.
Unless one day you are on the verge of death due to lack of water, the memory gene will record this information.
Based on his own situation, Li Qingye summed up a rule, that is, the more threatening the content is to life safety, the more likely it will be recorded by the memory gene, and the more trivial the matter is, the less likely it will be recorded.
Why do humans generally feel uncomfortable when they see snakes?
This is because in ancient times, human ancestors saw their companions being bitten to death by poisonous snakes. This great terror between life and death would stimulate the brain cells of the survivors and engrave this memory into their genes.
This mechanism of focused memory and forgetting made it very difficult for Li Qingye to enter information accurately.
The modern knowledge system is very large and also interconnected, especially knowledge in the field of science.
If the input information is inaccurate or missing information, the host will not be able to form a complete knowledge system after the memory gene is activated, and will have to learn again and fill in the gaps.
Li Qingye looked at the report that had just been decoded and entered 10G of data. However, only 1.3G of the decoded information was accurate, and the rest was a bunch of garbled codes and invalid data.
13% accuracy, this does not guarantee inheritance at all.
This technology cannot be put into practical use until the accuracy reaches 99%.
After all, literary works, music, etc., can still be used if some content is missing.
But even a 1% lack of scientific knowledge is a very serious problem.
Science must be rigorous and precise, this is a hard requirement.
However, there is a certain degree of uncertainty in the recording of memory genes.
Now Li Qingye is troubled by this problem.
Putting down the report in his hand, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of green tea.
The bitter fragrance calmed him down a little.
He put down his teacup, leaned back in his chair, and sighed, "Things like memory and genes are indeed the most difficult to deal with."
Sanjibada Layal quickly rubbed his shoulders.
The other assistants continued to work hard, checking various experimental data.
Suddenly, the door of the laboratory slowly opened, and a middle-aged man in gray-white protective clothing walked in and respectfully reported to Li Qingye:
"Chairman, there is a problem in the forest of Pangu Realm. Here is the investigation report."
Li Qingye raised his eyebrows and took the tablet. He flipped through a few pages and then a surprised expression appeared on his face: "It seems that the effect of environmental pressure is unexpectedly good!"
"Chairman, do we need human intervention?" the middle-aged man asked quickly.
Li Qingye thought for a moment and said, "Intervene? No, continue to observe. As long as there is no threat to the protection system, let it develop naturally."
"I understand." The middle-aged man nodded.
However, Li Qingye added: "After you go back, ask the security department to make a targeted plan."
"yes."
