As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 231 Magic Network
Ke Chuang Bio's move was completely unexpected. They originally thought that even if Ke Chuang Bio realized that something was wrong, it would not react.

Because the truth system is a very small niche for Kechuang Biotechnology, it basically cannot bring them much revenue.

If the monopoly cooperation between China's core institutions and enterprises were to happen in other listed companies, it would at least result in a daily limit.

But on Ke Chuang Biotechnology, two dots were slightly reddish to show respect.

There wasn't even a splash.

After the specific implementation plan of the truth system came out, the stock forum of Kechuang Biotechnology was even more like this:
"That's it?"

"The annual revenue is estimated to be less than 500 million. This business is a completely political task for Kechuang Biotechnology."

"And the scientific and creative creatures are not dominant. If they were, it would definitely be promising to develop a large-scale reasoning game based on the truth system."

The most liked reply to this post is: "Developing a reasoning game based on the truth system and wanting to get a game license? Dream on."

Zheng Li basically doesn't ask about such trivial matters, and at most it will be mentioned as a sentence in the company's weekly report.

As the company expands and its scale increases, in fact many things will only be summarized to Zheng Li after the results are out.

China also learned about Zheng Li’s further optimization of brain-computer connection technology.

Academician Zhao also had a discussion with Zheng Li about this:
"After the magic brain gradually takes effect, do you feel that your thinking has become more agile?"

“The problems that I couldn’t figure out before, now I can figure them out just by turning around casually?”

Zheng Li replied: "It's amazing. I'm mainly curious about how Merlin did it."

“I observed my own body and discovered new proteins in the cells responsible for nerve transmission.”

As a top scientist, curiosity is basically one of the driving forces of scientific research. If Zheng Li is not curious about his own changes, this is extremely suspicious.

Therefore, after being injected with the magic brain, Zheng Li conducted human experiments on his own clone within Ke Chuang Biology.

Academician Zhao laughed and said, "Haha, this is definitely the effect of injecting the magic brain."

"We name similar proteins Magic Series proteins based on their morphology, and we name them specific models based on their structure."

"But I can tell you one thing: your ability to cast spells is definitely not just achieved by these two extra proteins."

"And when we transplanted these two proteins into the test subjects, they couldn't exist normally and were quickly degraded."

"It seems that the magic series of proteins are incompatible with neuroglobin in normal people's bodies."

Neuroglobin is a protein of the heme protein class that is primarily expressed in the brain and retinal cells of vertebrates.

It binds reversibly to oxygen.

The difference from ordinary hemoglobin is that neuroglobin has only one peptide chain, and the iron of the heme cofactor is six-coordinated when not bound to oxygen, and the other ligand is the distal HisE7 residue.

This protein is a globin sequence that was discovered in 2000 through mining genome sequence data based on the Human Genome Project.

Because of its preferential expression in the nervous system, it is named after the nerve.

This cell has a certain protective effect on neurons and can detoxify reactive oxygen or nitric oxide.

At the same time, neuroglobin can effectively enhance cell vitality under hypoxia and various oxidative stresses.

This substance is a component of the signaling function that transmits the redox state of cells or inhibits cell apoptosis.

Simply put, this thing can effectively protect the human brain neuron cells.

Therefore, the irreconcilable relationship between neuroglobin and magic series proteins surprised scientists.

Because it is obvious that magic protein is the product of injecting magic brain and only appears in the body of a wizard.

Moreover, after using the magic brain, the mage's logical thinking ability and organ perception ability will be significantly enhanced.

During the internal testing process, the mage had a clear three-dimensional spatial perception ability and could effectively perceive the distribution of objects in the entire space even when completely blind.

Various direct and indirect tests have shown that the functional boundaries of a mage's brain have been greatly expanded compared to that of an ordinary person.

Zheng Li's apparent identity is a top scientist in the field of biology, so he naturally reacted:

"So neuroglobin conflicts with the magic series guarantee?"

Academician Zhao sighed and said, "That can't be said. Our knowledge of the human body at the microscopic level is very limited."

"We cannot make this conclusion yet. We can only say that there is no doubt that magic protein and neuroglobin conflict in the bodies of ordinary people."

"But in a mage's body, these two can work together organically. The rate of cell death in a mage is slower than that of an ordinary person."

"Neuroglobin and magic protein are not incompatible."

This is true from an observational perspective, but the conflict between neuroglobin and magic protein still makes scientists feel skeptical.

Could it be that magic is just a way of expanding brain functions in the short term by overdrawing the brain?

However, through observation, on the contrary, the lifespan of users of the magic brain has been extended to a greater or lesser extent.

Take Jiang Yan for example, he was almost dying, but with the help of the magic brain, he lived five more years and is still full of energy.

Therefore, until now, there have been many achievements in observation of the users of the magic brain, but very little is known about the specific principles involved.

"Neuroglobin is a monomer consisting of approximately 150 amino acids with a molecular weight of 16 kDa and a typical globin folding effect."

"At the same time, when neuroglobin binds to various gaseous molecules, such as O2, CO or NO, there are significant structural differences between Hb or Mb and neuroglobin in the absence of external gaseous molecules."

Hb and Mb are pentacoordinate globins in which the iron ion is bound to the four nitrogen atoms of the porphyrin ring and the proximal histidine (HisF8).

Neuroglobin is a hexacoordinate globin: in the deoxy state, the distal histidine (HisE7) in the E helix binds to the sixth coordination position of Fe 2+.

"And the monomer of magic protein-1 is composed of nearly a thousand amino acids, with a molecular weight of 107 kDa."

"But when magic protein and neuroglobin coexist in the human body, the magic protein is huge and cannot defeat neuroglobin in the process of competing for binding iron ions."

“Not only can it not outcompete globin, but it will be broken down by neuroglobin.”

The phenomenon that Academician Zhao described is what they actually observed.

After listening to this, Zheng Li laughed inwardly. Isn't this part of the basic magic education they received?

He could write a whole detailed review on the nature of how the Magic Brain achieves its effects.

It would take Blue Star a hundred years to research the basic knowledge of the Mage Alliance.

There is a huge difference in biological achievements between the two civilizations.

Zheng Li remained calm on the surface: "It's really a magical phenomenon."

Academician Zhao: "Of course it is magical, but there are more magical things. The more we study, the more we realize how insignificant human beings are."

"We still don't have a complete idea of ​​how the magic brain opens up the channel between matter and the brain."

"You should be user number 22 in the magic forum. You don't have to tell me this. I don't care." "But since you used the magic brain, the magic forum will naturally be activated. You have also seen the bounty tasks and exchange knowledge in the magic forum."

"Perhaps we will have a deeper understanding after exchanging the essence of magic."

"Now everyone has a treasure mountain but cannot enter it."

"It was such a pity that Merlin was in Stockholm before. The mages from the Europa League were too cowardly. They didn't even dare to come forward and ask Merlin some questions at the scene."

"I watched Merlin go away."

China is now conducting joint research with the European Union on life-extending drugs.

Therefore, China also learned some inside information about the Stockholm incident two years ago.

As one of the few magicians in China, Academician Zhao naturally possesses much greater authority than Dong Wenxu.

He also wanted to make friends with Zheng Li, not only because Zheng Li was his direct junior, but also because he was optimistic about Zheng Li's future development.

It turns out that Zheng Li's achievements in just five years would be something that no one else could match in their entire lifetime.

Now that Zheng Li is using the magic brain, his future achievements in the field of scientific research will be limitless.

Zheng Li is really too young, only 24 years old. If he can establish a good relationship with him, the potential benefits of this favor in the future can be imagined.

Huaguo currently still has three magic coins that have not been used, and they plan to use them on young people.

China has scarce resources per capita. Everything else is scarce, except for people.

There are too many outstanding talents in various fields, and there are kings of scrolls everywhere. How to divide the three magic brains and how to cover all aspects is a difficult problem comparable to the Goldbach conjecture.

Moreover, many elderly people think that it should not be given to young people. We are still in the front in the queue, so why should it be given first to these young people who have not made much contribution?
It was not until just two months after Zheng Li was injected with the magic brain and achieved another optimization of the brain-computer connection technology that China decided that these three magic brains must be used by young people.

Let’s talk about Academician Zhao’s favor towards Zheng Li.

Judging from the way Zheng Li treated Li Miaomiao, Cheng Gang, Lei Jun and other people who helped him, it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe him as kind.

Therefore, Academician Zhao is willing to reveal as much information as possible to Zheng Li within the scope of his authority.

Zheng Li pretended to be surprised: "Were there magicians from the European Union present at the time?"

Academician Zhao: "Yes, and at that time there were not only magicians from the European Union, but also magicians from America."

"But the magic of these magicians all comes from Merlin's magic brain."

"So far, we have not found any wizard on Blue Star whose magic does not come from Merlin."

"At least we, Russia, and the European Union haven't discovered it."

"England has dug up all their traditional monuments, but has not found any trace of wizards."

When Zheng Li heard this, an idea suddenly occurred to him. He wondered if he could do something based on this.

After his last performance in Stockholm, he felt that this kind of real-world large-scale 3D role-playing game was still very stress-relieving.

It is especially rare to use magic to your heart's content.

Zheng Li plans to make some careful plans.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it’s abrupt or not, as long as the people of Blue Star cannot discover the relationship between these vests and Zheng Li.

While Zheng Li was thinking about it, he verbally echoed what Academician Zhao said, "I also think that the magic we use is completely different from the magic in the myths and legends of Blue Star."

Academician Zhao: "That's right. The magic in Western mythology requires the coordination of spells."

"Whether it's wizards or sorcerers recorded in Latin or magicians recorded in Old English, all of them require spells to exist."

"We have a hypothesis that there used to be a device on Blue Planet that covered an area with aliens. When the brain nerve signals of the Blue Planet people are combined with spells, some of the functions of the alien device can be used."

"Later, as the aliens left or died of old age on the Blue Planet, the alien devices lost their effectiveness as no one maintained them, and then the mysterious events gradually stopped happening."

"The end of the world actually refers to the fact that alien devices are becoming increasingly difficult to be insensitive."

"And now Merlin has come all the way from outer space, bringing with him a more advanced device. This device does not require spells, but only brain nerve signals."

Zheng Li thought to himself, "This is brilliant. Your imagination really opens my eyes."

Magic already exists, there's no need to be so troublesome.

Zheng Li: "This is just speculation. There is such a possibility, but if such a device exists, we can easily observe it."

Academician Zhao seemed to be talking but didn't quite say anything. He paused for a moment, then thought about how Zheng Li was in China and that all his interests were in China. Finally, he spoke.

However, Academician Zhao lowered his voice and said: "If it is a mechanical device, it can indeed be observed."

"But considering Merlin, or the magical civilization's attainments in biology, it is very likely a biological device."

"For example, Merlin placed many similar devices in small organisms, and then formed a magic net all over the blue planet?"

Academician Zhao looked horrified: "We have recently observed a large number of unknown substances in the marine organisms of the Blue Planet. These substances have obviously never existed before."

"There is also the presence of an unknown protein, which is likely Merlin's creation."

"Almost all over the ocean of Blue Star."

"These substances have not yet been observed in living organisms outside of the oceans."

"It's probably Merlin's work."

"It's just that we don't know Merlin's purpose for doing this, whether it's the magic web or something else."

Zheng Li sighed. The people of Blue Star finally discovered the existence of the biological cloud.

“It can actually be observed experimentally,” he said.

"For example, we can capture marine life that has these unknown substances, cast a spell, and observe whether there is any reaction between the spell and the marine life."

"Even magic involves reactions on the material level. We focus on observing the microscopic changes around marine life."

Academician Zhao said with emotion: "You young people are smart. I will start preparing right away."

The phenomenon was first observed by Neon biologists, and then the news was leaked to America. After America discovered it, they notified all the countries that possessed magic brains.

I looked at the subscription data and found that when I wrote commercial content, the subscriptions jumped from 1000 to 1300.
