After leaving the graphene project department, Chen Mengchuan's mood became much more complex and deep.
During the evening party, many key members of Tianzhi were present, and everyone was celebrating Xu Zhenglin and Zhang Ying from the bottom of their hearts! This is Tenzhi Technology's first battle out of the earth! In everyone's eyes, a perfect answer sheet has been handed in!
Under the light, everyone in Tianzhi happily discussed, communicated, and imagined the future. It was not limited to the earth and the moon, but more communication was focused on the exploration plan of Mars. Even further away, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, the four largest celestial bodies among Solar System besides the sun, were also full of temptation.
Chen Mengchuan, who had not drank for a while, drank freely. After drinking two bottles of yogurt, Chen Mengchuan broke the drinking record in his life. After 11 bottles of beer, he still ran to the toilet and vomited.
After Xu Zhenglin and Xu Shuwei helped him out, Zhao Wanyu didn't give him any more wine and left him lying on the sofa with sleepy eyes. After the show, Xu Zhenglin and Xu Shuwei carried him to a lounge again, and he slept until dawn.
After being awakened by Zhao Wanyu the next day, Chen Mengchuan sat alone for a long time. Finally, Zhao Wanyu issued a notice and called in the core members of Tenzhi Technology. He hoped that other people could give him some advice.
At around 10 o'clock, everyone gathered again. In a rooftop pavilion in the laboratory, Chen Mengchuan was holding a steamed bun and a glass of tomato juice, sipping and waiting for the others.
Not long after, Sun Zhongyong and Gu Xiaoxiao came to the pavilion first.
"Your body can't drink so much, so don't force it. Every time you drink and vomit, it will hurt your body, do you know?" Sun Zhongyong started nagging him as soon as he saw him. He tried to persuade him several times last night, but he couldn't persuade him to stop drinking.
"I know, Brother Sun." Chen Mengchuan replied with a smile.
"Have you eaten yet? The steamed buns are still hot and the tomato juice tastes pretty good. Let's try it?" Chen Mengchuan said with a smile.
"If you don't want to eat, don't eat. I've already eaten." Sun Zhongyong waved his hand, but still poured himself a glass of tomato juice.
"His body doesn't look weak at all. No matter what he does, brother, you are really getting more and more nagging." Gu Xiaoxiao laughed and took out a steamed bun, tearing it off one by one and eating it.
Sun Zhongyong also poured her a glass of tomato juice.
After a while, Xu Shuwei and Toni appeared in the pavilion with Simba, Chen Xiaoyun, Lü Jianglan, Möbius and Puslin. Finally, Zhao Wanyu came over after finishing the matter.
"I'm here to see you all today for just one thing. I want to hear your opinions." Chen Mengchuan saw everyone gathered and looked around before speaking.
Everyone could see some clues from Chen Mengchuan's expression when he spoke.
"Mengchuan, tell me." Xu Shuwei looked at him seriously and asked.
Several other people also put away their smiles and became serious.
After taking a deep breath, Chen Mengchuan slowly said, "The Graphene Project Department has a new project plan to use graphene to complete DNA sequencing quickly, and finally... realize free editing."
"This? How can graphene be related to DNA?" Sun Zhongyong was stunned for a moment and was the first to ask a question.
"The graphene project department plans to use graphene to create a nanohole with the same size as the width of DNA, and then let the DNA molecules swim through the nanohole. The conductivity of graphene will have different effects when it interacts with the four bases A, C, G, and T of DNA. Based on this, the time it takes for the DNA molecules to pass through can be observed. The very small voltage difference generated during the process can be used to determine which base has passed through the nanohole! In this way, DNA sequencing can be achieved quickly and accurately, and based on the extension of this technology, free editing of DNA can be achieved. "Chen Mengchuan said very slowly.
His words made everyone's expressions change.
"This is too dangerous, and it will not be recognized throughout the world. Chen, I don't think we should open this Pandora's Box!" Möbius frowned and said to Chen Mengchuan.
"Möbius, you are old. Now, mankind is about to enter the interstellar era. If this technology can really be realized, we can even achieve radiation immunity based on DNA technology, even extend human lifespan, change human physique, and become immune to all human diseases! There will always be someone to uncover Pandora's Box, but in our hands, at least it is more controllable!" Puslin was unexpectedly excited.
"Hiss..." Everyone was suddenly pulled into a new dimension by Puslin's words.
"But, by that time, will humans still be humans?" Möbius sighed.
"Chen, I support the research and development of this technology. Human life is too short. Just imagine, if we can be reborn like a lighthouse jellyfish, inheriting all memories and souls, or live for hundreds of years like long-lived turtles, then human technological civilization will undoubtedly be better inherited and continue to evolve. Human life is too short and too short." Puslin was a little emotional, and after finishing speaking, he took a deep breath to adjust his emotions.
"It is not difficult to control DNA sequencing from a technical level alone. But if graphene technology can be added to achieve such fast and accurate sequencing, at least many problems will be solved. Cell cancer, leukemia, and bacterial and viral diseases can all be prevented and corrected. But what Möbius said also makes sense. Are humans who have been improved and re-edited at the DNA level still humans?" Toni pushed up her glasses indifferently.
"International DNA sequencing technology already exists, although it often misses the target, is not perfect, and cannot be very effectively controlled. The risks of various possible DNA virus lesions are difficult to estimate. Even after tampering with these DNAs, will there be new genetic viruses that are unimaginable to humans? Will new variables occur in the modified DNA during human reproduction? These are all unimaginable." Xu Shuwei added Toni's words seriously.
"Brother Chuan, do you recognize this technology in your heart?" Lü Jianglan, who has become a core member, asked calmly. As smart as she is, she believes that Chen Mengchuan already has some answers in her heart.
Her words made everyone look at Chen Mengchuan.
"Open at 55." Chen Mengchuan said slowly, stuffing the last piece of steamed bun in his hand into his mouth.
