Chapter 1049 Two completely different paths for the development of an interstellar civilization.
When Xu Chuan received a call from Secretary-General Stafanomak, on the other hand, a press conference from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences was also being held simultaneously.
Compared with the recent Physics Awards and Chemistry Awards announced on different dates, these two natural science awards were announced on the same day this year.
The reason is very simple. The winners of the two Nobel Prizes are the same person.
In view of this factor, the selection committees of the two houses of Materials and Chemical Engineering decided to put the announcement time together after discussing with each other.
Anyway, they have broken the rules and are not afraid of being shocked.
Of course, in addition to this, they also hope to have the honor of the double prize in materialization and chemical industry
It is precisely because of this that when the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry this year was announced, the whole world was in full swing.
After the press conference to announce the Nobel Prize, domestic and foreign media forwarded the relevant news as soon as possible.
In less than an hour, the news that Xu Chuan won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry directly became a hot search on major Internet platforms.
【Damn it? Did Sichuan God win the award again? 】
【Mom! The Physics Award and the Chemistry Award were actually awarded to one person at the same time? This should be the first time in history that someone has won a different type of Nobel Prize, right? 】
【For the first time, Madame Curie won the Physics and Chemistry Awards in the last century, but it was not in the same year. In addition, there is Linus Pauling, who won the Chemistry Prize and the Peace Prize, but you know the Peace Prize, you don’t want it. 】
【If you won the Physics Award and Chemistry Award in the same year, can the Nobel Prize be awarded like this? curious. 】
【In theory, it should not work, but the regulations are for breaking this thing itself. It is natural for the Sichuan God to win two Nobel Prizes. I feel that no one is more worthy than him! 】
[If you include the 18-year physics award, Chuan Shen has already won three! Moreover, the reason for this award is the contribution of the unified theory of strong electricity, but he also has the results of dark matter particles and room temperature superconducting materials that can win the Nobel Prize (if it is issued), which are all wholesale Nobel Prize medals, good guy. 】
【Did no one care about Professor Weiteng? ! He finally won the Nobel Prize and achieved the Monofi double prize! ! ! ! 】
[Smile with your eyes squinted, and the student won the Nobel Prize with his tutor. What kind of story in science fiction? I'm so laughing. 】
[There is also Professor Deliney, a mathematician who won the Nobel Prize. In this way, there are three Nofi double prize winners at once. 】
It has to be said that the news that the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Physics and Chemistry Prizes to the same person in the same year was like pouring cold water into a hot oil pan, causing fierce discussions all over the world.
After all, there are only a handful of scholars in this world who can win two Nobel Prizes.
Looking at the Nobel Prize has been established in 1895 for more than 100 years, there are only five people.
Not mention that I got it in the same year.
Being able to win one Nobel Prize in two different fields means that the winners must make the world's top scientific research results in at least two huge scientific fields.
Presenting the difficulty of Linus Pauling's Chemistry and Peace Prize, only Madame Curie has done this in all mankind.
Moreover, she got it in the early 20th century, which is much less difficult than entering the 21st century.
After all, with the development of human civilization, the progress of science and technology and academic research, and the increase in the amount of knowledge in various disciplines are almost unimaginable to ordinary people.
Take physics as an example, pure physics has five major subjects: classical mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, electromagnetics, relativity, and quantum mechanics.
The multidisciplinary physics also includes seven majors: chemical physics, geophysics, economic physics, atmospheric physics, biophysics, medical physics, and astrophysics.
The two major categories add up to 12 disciplines, and under these twelve disciplines, almost every one of them has sub-disciplines that can continue to be subdivided like branches.
If we really want to count, the twigs of contemporary physics have exceeded the three-digit number and are moving towards the four-digit number.
For most scholars, it will take more than ten years or even a lifetime to achieve the ultimate in one of these three-digit twigs and gain the recognition of other physicists.
Even for most scholars, they cannot reach the forefront of a certain branch field, and have the ability to expand this frontier area forward for a little bit.
So after entering the 21st century, it is really too difficult to win the Nobel Prize in different major fields.
At the same time, the other side.
Xiashu Space Base, brought the mission to the Space Administration Director Wu Yuankang left after learning about the situation from Xu Chuan.
In the office, Professor Chen Wenze of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who came over with the latest research and experimental data on Mars, knocked on the open door and walked in.
"Academician Xu, Academician Chang."
After saying hello, he looked at Xu Chuan, with a deep envy in his eyes, and congratulated him with a smile: "Congratulations to Academician Xu for winning this year's Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry."
As a scholar, the Nobel Prize can be said to be his lifelong pursuit.
Of course, to be precise, it should be a lifelong dream.
Because he has never regarded the Nobel Prize as his goal.
After all, dreams can be imagined, but the goal is to pursue and work hard to achieve.
Although sometimes he fantasizes that he can be recommended to be selected as an academician of the Academy of Sciences before he is fifty, he never thought that he would win the Nobel Prize.
Because with his academic achievements, it is too far from the Nobel Prize.
As the highest award recognized by the academic community at present, winning this medal means that the winners can be rampant all over the world and no longer have to worry about scientific research funds and complex interpersonal relationships.
However, it was such a medal that he could never imagine. The scholar who was nearly ten years younger than him had already won three!
Three! A total of three pieces have refreshed the history of the academic community and created the number of new historical monuments!
How can this not be enviable?
On the sofa, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Thank you, I am indeed a little surprised. I didn't expect that the jury of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences would be so extraordinary that it would award me two medals at the same time."
Hearing this, Professor Chen Wenze said curiously, "If you say two Nobel Prizes, you should be able to bring 28 family members and friends to the Nobel Prize dinner."
Xu Chuan looked at him and smiled, "Do you want to go?"
Hearing this, Chen Wenze touched his head and laughed, "This is a Nobel Prize dinner. It is estimated that more than 99% of the people in the world have never attended, so he must have wanted to go!" After a pause for a moment, he smiled and said, "If there is any extra, can I apply for a place?"
"Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not enough. Academician Xu will help take two photos and let me experience it remotely."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Then I'll give you a quota. I probably won't use that many of the 28 quotas attached to the Nobel Prize."
In fact, let alone 28 quotas to attend the Nobel Prize Dinner, even 14 are enough for him.
After all, although he has many friends, he has only a few friends.
In order to find a way to treat Martian dysfunction infection during this period, the person in front of him did help him a lot. He was in charge of the International Mars Life Research Project instead of him, just treat it as a reward for him.
Hearing Xu Chuan's words, Chen Wenze's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Thank you, Academician Xu!"
After chatting about the Nobel Prize, Chen Wenze handed the experimental report he brought over to Xu Chuan and Chang Huaxiang one by one, and spoke up.
"About the research on Mars' dead rock bacteria, the infected personnel at Yuehua Taiwan Research Base have been injected with immune protein drugs. Except for the four astronauts who were most seriously infected, the physical indicators of others have returned to the scope of normal people."
"As for the silicon-based alienated structure of Liu Yang and Jiang Xinlin, we still need to wait for subsequent observation to confirm whether the normal human structure will be restored over time."
"In addition."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
After pausing, he looked at Xu Chuan and then said, "A study on the infection of Martian dysfunction animals. Through the infected mouse body tissue sections and live experimental observations, we have initially confirmed the infection pattern of this bacteria."
"If it is in terms of the infection pattern and its relationship with the host, this is a form that has not appeared on Earth, neither a bacteria nor a virus."
Hearing this, Xu Chuan looked over curiously: "But I remember correctly. Judging from the previous experimental data, its relationship with the host is a parasitic relationship, right?"
"After entering human cells, this kind of Martian life completely relies on host cells to survive and reproduce."
Professor Chen Wenze nodded and explained, "Yes, if it is simply from this perspective, Martian dysfunction is a virus type."
"But the biology community often needs to judge the species of a organism from multiple aspects."
"Although the impact of viruses on the host is multifaceted and there is a relationship of 'coordinated evolution', from the perspective of the host, this synergistic evolution is passive."
"Because the means of immunity or killing the corresponding virus, the host cell will die."
"There is different from the Martian dysfunction. It does require host cells to provide nutrients for reproduction and survival. But in the process of parasitism, it is like wearing a stealth cloak, and it is difficult to directly contact the host's immune system."
"In the process of parasitism, it will also synthesize a hormone with the nutrients of the host cell."
"In the process of parasitism, it will also synthesize a hormone with the nutrients of the host cell."
"After releasing this dead rock hormone, it will enter the host's body fluid circulation, and then participate in the host's metabolic activities."
"And this hormone can also enter the bone-like tissue structure, structure with the free metasilicic acid in the host body, and produce a brand new silicone protein."
"This is also the reason why silicosis mutations occur in the body structure of humans infected with the Martian dead rock bacteria. It is very different from the transformation of native cells that we previously speculated."
"So it is completely different from the viruses on Earth."
"And if one life form is to be divided into it, a new classification should be established for it from the current observed situation."
Speaking of this, Professor Chen Wenze looked at Xu Chuan, with a deep envy in his eyes.
Although the classification of a type of organism should be a matter within the biology community in theory, if we are most qualified to divide the species of this Martian dead rock bacteria, there is no doubt that the person in front of us is.
After all, Martian deadworm was discovered in the manned fire-mounting project led by him, and he also found the method to treat this Martian bacteria infection. "Symbiosis, dead rock hormone, metabolic alienation, something interesting~." Listening to Professor Chen Wenze's explanation, Xu Chuan touched his chin with an interesting look in his eyes.
After thinking for a while, he looked at Professor Chen Wenze and asked, "Can you find which genetic structure is controlling the synthesis of this hormone?"
Chen Wenze nodded and said, "It should be no problem, it just takes some time."
After a pause, he continued, "The genetic structure breakthrough of the genetic structure of the squatta worm has been made. In the future, we will conduct gene editing experiments for each complete genetic fragment to understand what different functions will be brought by different fragments."
The genetic genes of the squatta worm in Mars are indeed much more complicated than conventional virus bacteria, but it is much easier to understand their functions compared to editing experiments for every human gene fragment.
In particular, coding sequences that can produce proteins usually account for less than five percent of the number compared to non-coding sequences.
Just as humans have much fewer genes than originally expected, the exons, that is, the coding sequences that can make proteins, account for only about 1.5% of the total length.
And the exons of this Martian dysfunction, namely coding sequences, are obviously fewer than humans, and it takes less time to decipher them.
Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Then I'll leave you a task."
"Simply put, it is to find this gene fragment that controls the synthesis of silicon-based proteins, analyze it, and understand its working principle. Then, try to use carbon, calcium or sulfur structures to replace the original fragments through gene editing technology."
Hearing this, Professor Chen Wenze's eyes moved, as if he was thinking of something. He took a deep breath and looked over, and couldn't help asking, "You are this."
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "If the side effects of Mars' dead rock bacteria can be solved, then this is a new evolutionary direction for humans."
After a pause, he continued, "For humans who have begun space exploration, facing planets with various complex environments in the universe will be the most common thing in the future."
"Compared with the entire universe, the adaptation environment of human bodies is indeed too single and fragile. It can only survive on a fixed type of planet."
"And now there is another way in front of us."
"If human civilization really wants to leave the earth, then in addition to finding an alien planet suitable for survival and transforming an alien planet with similar conditions to make it liveable, it may also be a way for humans to actively evolve and adapt to different alien environments."
"Maybe it may seem that it is a great violation of ethics and morality, and it will also cause great controversy."
"But this does not prevent us from making technical reserves first."
