Chapter 771: Tower of Babel project (middle)

"For the time being, yes."

Pu Guanshui answered like this.

"Our plan spans a hundred years and costs tens of billions of dollars, while the first phase is thirty years. Without the unity and cooperation of the entire mankind, even thirty years, we might not be able to unravel. The mystery of human beings. So we don’t have the energy to study other creatures. But speaking, this thing is well understood. We understand human beings and want to understand other creatures. It’s much simpler. And since ten Since the ninth century, people have done a lot of research on the xìng shape of various animals and plants, so for the time being, there is not much need for in-depth research."

"Thirty years? So in the entire Tower of Babel project, the second phase will take longer? Is this phase more difficult than the first?"

Pu Guanshui nodded: "Our first plan is only to understand, but understanding and transformation are two completely different concepts. It's as if humans have always been able to see the moon, but we landed on the moon for the first time. , But it was the same three years ago."

"Hello, I am a reporter from Fox TV. I would like to ask, what are the specific tasks of this entire project? What benefits will this plan bring to mankind?"

Don't listen to the false, this should be told in the truth.

"Dr. Holly is here to answer this question for everyone."

Pu Guanshui can only let people next to him answer such professional questions.

Dr. Robert William Holly, an American biochemist, was born in Illinois.

He also won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1968 for elucidating the tRNA that links alanine to DNA.

In this plan, Catherine invited a total of five Nobel Prize winners.

In addition to Hal Gebin Korana, Robert William Holly and Marshall Warren Nirenberg, there are also Max Delbruck, who won the award for discovering the replication mechanism and genetic structure of the virus. Salvador Luria.

It is obviously unscientific to draw these people in by relying solely on money, and Catherine does not only rely on money, but also promised these people good laboratory conditions and the ability to participate in this. One of the leaders of this historic plan has such two weapons right.

After all, this is a weapon to uncover the most hidden secrets of mankind. Who wouldn't be tempted by this?

Dr. Holly adjusted the microphone, and then explained: "In the first phase of the Human Genome Project HGP, our main purpose is to decode life, understand the origin of life, understand the law of growth and development of life, and understand the differences between species. To understand the causes of differences between individuals and individuals, to understand the mechanisms of disease and life phenomena such as longevity and aging, and to provide scientific basis for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases."

These people already knew about these contents two months ago, and Catherine was at that time. It is already starting to carry out his own plan.

By now, the preliminary charter and planning of the entire plan have been completed.

——Of course, it was not made by Catherine.

Catherine played a role as a promoter and supporter in this whole plan, although she also knew something like DNA and RNA. But Catherine is only limited to "knowing." For deeper things, Catherine couldn't do it well.

In fact, the main task of the entire HGP (Human Genome Project) is not just what the other party said. It will include human DNA sequencing, sequencing technology, human genome sequence variation, functional genomics technology, comparative genomics, Social, legal, ethical research, bioinformatics and computational biology, education and training purposes.

Among them, the research on the four maps of genetic map, physical map, sequence map and gene map is the top priority.

"Hello. I am a reporter from CBS. I would like to ask. In this whole plan, how is the whole project divided?"

"First of all. We will establish an international cooperation organization-the human genome. This organization will also be the most important and the most important driving force for the promotion of the Tower of Babel project. In addition, we will also establish an auxiliary characterization of the human genome. , DNA sequencing and mapping of selected model organisms, develop new technologies for genome research, improve the ethical, legal and social issues involved in human genome research, and train scientists who can use these technologies and resources developed by HGP to conduct biological research, etc. Wait, this kind of work will be completed by this characterization of the human genome."

"So, the whole plan will be an international plan?"

"It has always been like this. We have widely invited scientists from all over the world to participate in this project, not just in the United States. The federal government is very concerned about this matter. They have widely invited governments and called on states. The government has come to support our plan extensively."

In fact, the United States is considered the country that cares most about this matter. At this time, the federal government is already considering building a national human genome research center.

"Then what if the Soviet Union wants to participate in this plan?"

When the reporter asked, he realized something was wrong.

For Westerners, the word "world" does not include socialist countries such as the Soviet Union. To raise such questions is not only to find faults for the organizers, but also for themselves...

However, Pu Guanshui has the ultimate, or the skill of turning into Tai Chi: "The human genome and the map of human genes are the property of all mankind. This research result should be shared by all mankind and benefit all mankind. This is The consensus of all our scientists from various countries involved in the Human Genome Project."

Universal values ​​are sometimes so easy to use. The sentence "This is not yours, this is all of mankind" can solve all problems and let oneself occupy the righteousness. God knows whether the facts are so easy to use? ,

The universal value is the highest, and the universal value is full!

"If there is a situation in which some sī operating companies apply for patents for their achievements, we will take the most severe sanctions. Humanitarianism will not allow such self-interested situations to occur, and we will let the world Everyone in has the opportunity to stay away from all genetic diseases caused by genes."

If the universal value is not enough, then use the humanitarianism of the big killer.

Universal values ​​may not work all the time, but humanitarianism is definitely something that kills the audience without any suspense.

A few words of Pu Guanshui transferred the original Soviet problem.

"Hello, I am a reporter from ABN (Angel News Channel). I would like to ask, how does this plan benefit us humanity?"

At this time, the audience in front of the TV also became interested in this. For these people, this incident has the greatest impact on them.

"In fact, many human diseases are caused by problems at the genetic level." The speaker is Max Delbrück, who studies viruses and RNA. In a sense, he is the most authoritative answer to this question. .

"For now, many of our diseases are unable to detect the pathogenic mechanism, and there are many diseases that are caused by human problems-such as diseases such as lupus erythematosus syndrome."

He paused, and then continued: “In the past century, the pharmaceutical industry has largely relied on limited drug targets to develop new treatments. For now, nearly 400 drug targets on the market have been It is regarded as a solution to all the drugs on the market. In addition, human means are no longer available. In some cases, drug targets are not the key to solving the problem. Knowing all human genes and proteins will be extremely Large expansion of the search for suitable drug targets can predict that this number will be over several thousand. Because of this, genomic research will be carried out on a large scale in drug research and development."

"Gene diagnosis, gene therapy and treatment based on genomic knowledge, disease prevention based on genomic information, identification of disease susceptibility genes, lifestyle of risk populations, intervention of environmental factors, these will all become our research topics. In fact, In theory, gene therapy can even cure all diseases in this world. The reason why we get sick in many cases is because of the invasion of bacteria and germs and the inadaptability of human beings due to changes in the environment. Non-adaptation can be explained at the genetic level. If we can find a gene that is immune to diseases caused by all organisms and live or implant it in the human body, we will not have to fear tuberculosis and hepatitis B. Such a disease."

The idea is beautiful, but to a large extent, it's just drawing a cake.

However, these Nobel Prize winners, and these researchers who have been working hard for this theoretical result, really regard it as their own goal.

Many times ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the development of this society is because of these researchers who study silently, the whole world will change.

Some people can enjoy their wealth, sit at home safely and use the keyboard to point the country, and even everyone's food, drink, housing, and transportation are all because of the hard work of these people.

Perhaps some people can give the "great man" to Hei Chuxiang (), but some people can't be black.

It has nothing to do with the position, because it is precisely because of these people that humans have a good life.

Well, they are all science students...

With hundreds of millions of propaganda funds and worldwide broadcasts, the Tower of Babel project made the whole world excited.

This press conference lasted nine hours, and it didn't end until the evening.

And this time, the passage that Hal recited at the beginning was called the "Christmas Declaration" and was written into the history book...
