As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 150 Deep Blue Storage (4000 words)
"We can each contribute five magic coins and purchase the biological storage technology together."

“The promotion and popularization of this technology can be operated in the form of a joint venture.”

China and Russia are in a state of banding together for warmth. At least they will not turn against each other over a technology.

No matter how great the benefits of biostorage technology are, no party will violate the cooperation.

Moreover, China has had a very good reputation in this regard for a long time, at least it has never openly cheated others.

For example, the Webb telescope was previously led by America, but later it was found that the funding gap was getting bigger and bigger, so it had no choice but to bring in the European Space Agency and the United States Space Agency.

After the cosmic coordinate system and magic coin mining method came out, American turned against us.

The Europa Union also had a similar experience. Before the LHC, scientists from various countries worked together. As a result, due to the unique particles contained in the soul, the Europa Union directly expelled scientists outside the Europa Union.

At least the China Sky Eye has only stopped opening to the public, and the projects that were previously approved can still proceed as usual.

In comparison, China's credibility is much better.

You have only heard of others cheating China of its money, but you have never heard of China cheating other countries of their money in commercial cooperation projects.

The benefits of being kind are reflected at this time, and Russia is willing to trust China.

After lengthy negotiations, the two sides reached a cooperation agreement.

Both parties contributed five magic coins each, which China would exchange for biological storage technology.

The two parties established a joint venture, each holding 50 percent of the shares. The companies set up headquarters in Yanjing and Moscow respectively, without affecting each other's operations.

From the perspective of economic benefits, China obviously gave up some of its benefits. In return, China exchanged biological storage technology.

Because the scale of China's market is definitely larger than that of Russia, biological storage can only be promoted within the two countries in the early stages.

If the profits are evenly distributed, the Russian market's contribution is obviously not as great as that of the Chinese market.

After the two countries reached a cooperation agreement, Western countries were still wrangling with each other, even though America and Europe share the same origin.

But I still can't believe him.

There are too many cases in American history where people have no bottom line in pursuit of profit, and Europe has been cheated more than once.

England is stirring up trouble in this matter, and they don't want the Europa League and America to reach a cooperation.

On the contrary, England hopes to return to the Europa League. England wanted to leave the EU because it saw no hope in staying in the Europa League.

The European Union does not have the ability to integrate the European continent, but is becoming increasingly divided internally.

Rather than staying there and being exploited by poor countries, it is better to remain deeply economically bound to the European Union, but without having to support the poor countries in the European Union.

I'm talking about those little brothers in Eastern Europe.

England is also an old scumbag who only wants to take advantage of other people's markets and labor resources for free and is unwilling to give in return.

And now they want to return to the Europa Union because the developments in the past two years have shown that the Europa Union has made a great step forward towards substantive integration.

The most important thing is the advantage of combining magic with technology, which everyone can see clearly.

China has made rapid progress in genetically modified seeds, and all countries have their own magic brains, so they are naturally very clear about what is going on.

This is an improvement on this point alone. The Magic Brain can analyze the quality of genetically modified seeds only by sensing, compared to the previous method of waiting for the seeds to be planted, various control group experiments, and gene fragment analysis.

The improvement in efficiency is comparable to the evolution from an abacus to an X86 server.

There has been such progress in this one niche area alone, what about other areas?
Whether it is magic coin mining or completing bounty missions, it is not something that can be accomplished by a single small country.

Population is the foundation, and in this game, satisfying a certain number of talent base is the foundation.

Aerospace is a systematic project.

England is unwilling to get together with Japan and the Kangaroo Country. They hope to return to the European Union and cannot let Germany and France control the European Union.

England will also join in.

Therefore, England hopes to take advantage of the exchange cooperation of biological storage technology to return to the Europa League.

So they are causing trouble in the negotiations between America and the Europa League.

He privately talked to the Europa Union, claiming that he had three magic coins in his hands and could give the right to use these three coins to the Europa Union, and he must have used the magic brain exchange rights himself.

As long as the Europa League is willing to let them return to the Europa League.

As for the fact that two of the three magic coins were shared with Japan and the Kangaroo Country, England did not mention it at all.

If Japan knew about England's outrageous move, would it think that it could also use this opportunity to join the European Union? Would it be so easy to achieve the dream of leaving Asia and joining Europe that it has longed for two hundred years?

England's shit-stirring skills are truly the best in the world.

Companies jointly held by China and Russia have already been registered and established.

"I have been thinking about exchanging technical information from the magic forum. How does Merlin give it to us?
Is it to inject the memory directly into your brain?
This may be a bit difficult.”

"We can only say that there is this possibility. We will know it naturally after you exchange it."

The Russians have used up all the magic brains associated with the five magic coins, and they have used them all on mathematicians.

The purpose is to make mining better.

As mining progresses, scientists are increasingly aware that the Haber problem is ultimately a mathematical problem.

Astronomical observations only play a supporting role.

Among the Chinese scientists who possess the magic brain, one of them is specifically responsible for the exchange of biological storage technology this time.

The consciousness awakening magic forum interface, the old-fashioned BBS interface gave him the illusion of going back many years.

“Manufacturing methods and theoretical basis of biological storage, 10 magic coins”

“Confirm Exchange”

Seeing the balance of 10 magic coins being cleared, the scientists, who knew how hard it was to earn magic coins, felt heartbroken.

It is easier to spend than to save.

"www.magic.com/******
Please go to the designated address to download. The data will be available for one day, after which the address will automatically become invalid. Key: *********"

Jiang Yan waved to the researchers outside the room and said, "You can stop observing the equipment now."

China has had doubts, suspecting that the exchange technical information will be directly instilled into the brains of the exchangers.

So what kind of technical means is used to achieve this information transmission method? Is it a more advanced communication method?
Like the current mainstream mobile Internet, people use radio waves to transmit information.

If biological storage technology data automatically appeared in Jiang Yan's brain, was this achieved through some kind of wave?

Therefore, the time of exchange was carefully chosen and placed in a high-tech laboratory with complete observation equipment selected by the Anomalous Affairs Management Bureau.

Russia also sent scientists to participate.

When Jiang Yan entered the observation room, researchers from both countries were holding their breath in front of the observation equipment outside, trying to peek into the secret of converting signals into brain nerve signals.

In their opinion, the ability to access the magic forum after possessing the magic brain actually means that Merlin has converted specific signals into brain nerve signals in some way.

Especially after the soul was observed, scientists on the Blue Planet tried to observe what this signal was that could be seen directly in people's consciousness.

We have thought of many methods, but none of them seem to work, as we simply cannot observe it.

As for the manufacturing methods and theoretical basis of biological storage, it is obvious that this document contains a lot of information.

If it appears directly in Jiang Yan's brain, the instantaneous amount of information transmitted will be very large. What if it can be observed?

To use an analogy, it is like a small fish swimming under the sea. People cannot observe any abnormalities with the naked eye, but when a shark swims under the sea, people can observe the splashes.

What if we find this signal and also find Merlin at the same time?
Everyone still has high expectations.

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, the researcher in charge of the connection opened the door and walked in: "Mr. Jiang, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yan said helplessly: "Merlin gave me a website and a key. The manufacturing method and theoretical basis of biological storage can be downloaded directly from the website."

"Merlin seems to know what we want to do."

When other researchers found out, they started talking about it:
"URL download? This is more like a forum."

"It's worthy of the old-fashioned BBS style. The old BBS forum downloads were like this, with a direct URL link."

"Merlin must be from Blue Star. These subtle habits are too similar to those of Blue Star people. And he must have been born before BBS forums became popular."

“As a natural carrier of genetic information, DNA provides a stable, efficient and sustainable data storage solution.”

“Since the beginning of life on the blue planet, nature has solved the problem of how to pass on information to the next generation in its own way:

It stores the information that defines an organism in a unique sequence of four bases (A, T, C, G) within a tiny molecule called deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and has done so for 30 billion years.

As an information carrier, DNA molecules have many advantages over traditional storage media.

Its high storage density and potentially low maintenance costs make it an ideal alternative for information storage."

“The ability of a medium to store information is measured using the Shannon information index, since DNA molecules are heterogeneous polymers composed of linear chains of deoxyribonucleotide monomers.

Each monomer adopts one of the four bases A, T, C and G, and the specific arrangement (i.e. sequence) provides a certain amount of information.

According to the definition of Shannon information, the maximum amount of self-information (H) that a single base can contain is
The dependence of self-information on the base distribution is given in Table 1, where a is the “deviation from the probability distribution,” i.e., the difference between the frequency of a base occurrence and the mean frequency of 0.25.

“For a DNA molecule, if each of the four bases corresponds exactly to itself, then H (X|Y) = 0, I (X;Y) = 2 bits/base, and the average mutual information in the transmission is equal to the source entropy, which gives an upper limit on the amount of information transmitted.

However, in the process of writing and reading DNA sequences, information can be distorted, resulting in mismatches between the input set X and the output set Y, which reduces the average mutual information during transmission. For example, if the probability that each base corresponds to three other bases besides itself is 1/10.

Distortion in base readings greatly reduces the effectiveness of information transfer in DNA.

Average mutual information (the probability that a base is incorrectly read as one of the other three bases) for different transmission error rates mi, assuming 2 bits/base input. The average mutual information has a certain correlation with the input basis deviation and the transmission error rate.

We can somehow avoid this error and fully utilize the storage efficiency of DNA molecules."

“Adding error-correcting codes to stored data in DNA. The proposed approach uses a storage model where a dataset is represented by an unordered set of M sequences, each of length L. Errors in this model are loss of entire sequences and point errors within a sequence, such as insertions, deletions, and substitutions.

We derive Gilbert-Varshamov lower bounds and spherical upper bounds on the achievable cardinality of error-correcting codes in this storage model.

We further propose explicit code structures to correct errors in such storage systems that can be efficiently encoded and decoded.”

(The above is very simple. It is adapted from a review on DNA storage technology in a certain issue of Volume 2020 of National Science Review in 7, and is mainly simplified.)
The essence of biological storage technology is actually to utilize the characteristics of four different types of bases in DNA and use this chain to store information.

The laboratory product independently developed by Bluestar sounds great, but it has many problems.

The biggest problem lies in the reading and writing of information. Reading is easier, but writing information into DNA molecules is quite complicated. This kind of equipment is expensive and difficult to use. If you want an ordinary person to write information into a DNA molecule, he or she will need at least several months of training.

Others need several months of training to use DNA storage, so I might as well use a hard drive.

The biological storage technology provided by Merlin is a product that can be directly put into large-scale commercial use.

The more important point is that Merlin provided in the technical data a way for magic to affect matter at the microscopic level, and scientists realized that this is the most valuable.

China and Russia have jointly established a research and development team, which aims to reproduce the biological storage technology in reality as soon as possible, while conducting research on the subject of how magic affects the microscopic world.

The biological storage technology provided by Merlin, after expert evaluation, was found to require the use of magic in the key steps.

Therefore, the R&D team does not need to have such high requirements for confidentiality and can just keep key information confidential.

Of course, the confidentiality agreement still needs to be signed.

Among them, how to realize the reading and writing of DNA molecular information and how to avoid erroneous writing.

Some completely new materials are involved here.

The equipment for producing this new material requires the mage to control the key components with his will at a microscopic level.

Therefore, as long as this step is stuck and there is no spell model and implementation path, it will be useless even if others get all the other technologies.

It's useless if you can't produce this material.

In April, Deep Blue Memory Co., Ltd., jointly established by China and Russia, was listed, and senior executives from Yangtze Memory Technologies were directly transferred to take up the positions.

Originally, China wanted to name it Kunpeng Storage, but this name had already been used by Hua Weixian, and considering that Russia was involved, it was not a good idea to use an animal from Chinese classical mythology.

Finally, everyone compromised and named it Deep Blue Storage.
