Chapter 123 Chinese Gene Bank

Therefore, most of the hundreds of billions of Xia Yuan will be used to buy graphics cards to build Bitcoin mining machines, which will then serve as data computing centers.

In addition, it is necessary to purchase hard disks and solid-state disks to establish a data storage center and build ancillary supporting facilities.

Finally, they had enough money to acquire Huada Gene Company and recruit scientific researchers to develop consciousness output helmets, etc.

After all the calculations, Xingtu Technology actually doesn't have that many billions of Xia Yuan in savings, and it is estimated that the liquid funds on its books will only be a few hundred million Xia Yuan.

Of course, saving money is not the purpose of Xingtu Technology. Even if he can save money, Lin Feng will find a way to spend it.

Because money is meant to be circulated, depositing money in a bank is just a bunch of data, no matter whether the money is deposited in the name of the company or in the name of the individual.

So even if he could save money, Raymond Lam would find a way to spend it.

Either used for research and development, or used to purchase equipment, or used to improve the living environment of oneself, hometown or even the country.

Of course, it was still too far to talk about these things. After making sure that there was sufficient funding, Lin Feng finally launched the acquisition plan.

Therefore, Xingtu Technology began to meet with the founding team of Huada Gene to discuss the acquisition of a controlling stake in Huada Gene.

Not long afterward, the incident was accidentally exposed by a senior executive of Huada Gene, and then caused a sensation in the Daxia technology circle.

Because the Huada gene is too important to Daxia.

Although this company's annual revenue is only a few billion Xia Yuan, and its actual total market value does not exceed 20 billion Xia Yuan, and at most 30 billion Xia Yuan, this company has made too many achievements in genetics.

Sequencing of part of Daxia genome (1%), International Human HapMap Project (10%), Rice Genome Project, Silkworm Genome Project, Chicken Genome Project, Anti-SARS Research, Yanhuang No. Project...

In 2011, Daxia officially approved the Huaxia Gene Bank Project of Huada Gene Company.

The so-called Chinese Gene Bank Project is to record the genes of all species within China so that if the species becomes extinct in the future, they can be resurrected through genetic technology.

Of course, in addition to these, establishing the Chinese Gene Bank has other uses.

For example, genetic modification technology, gene editing technology, gene optimization technology, gene repair technology, gene enhancement technology, gene computer technology, gene storage technology...

In order for these genetic technologies to be realized, they all require a huge amount of genetic data as a basis.

It's just like building a pyramid requires countless bricks as the foundation. Rome was not built in a day, and the pyramid was not built in a day either. It is made of countless bricks.

Among them, each brick on the bottom layer is an important cornerstone. Although each brick is inconspicuous, it plays an important role in the process of pyramid construction.

Among them, the Huaxia Gene Bank Project not only preserves the genetic tissues of all species in Daxia for a very long time on a practical level.

Another purpose is to sequence all the genes of the species, just like the Human Genome Project, and then preserve them permanently in the form of data.

With these genetic data, when gene editing technology is qualified in the future, it may not be impossible to revive them!
So the Chinese Gene Bank may seem unimportant, but in fact it is quite important. It is the most important treasure house for mankind's future.

Of course, the establishment of a gene bank has both advantages and disadvantages. While humans enjoy the benefits of genetic technology, they will also face disadvantages. Because with the current gene editing technology of humans, it is actually possible to simply edit genes and even artificially create corresponding gene fragments.

For example, transplanting a certain gene fragment into another genome, just like the genetically modified crops that are now practical and grown on a large scale.

The bad aspect of this is if the genetic data of a certain human race is leaked on a large scale and a certain organization has the gene editing technology.

Then they can use gene editing technology to create a terrible virus that is only useful to that race, thus achieving a horrific effect that is only effective for that race and ineffective for other races!
Under such circumstances, as the only company qualified to establish a gene bank, Huada Gene Company is naturally trusted and valued by the Daxia government.

After all, since we are qualified to establish the Chinese gene bank, the genetic data we possess is naturally not of one person, but of the entire Daxia race.

If Huada Gene leaks the genetic data of the Daxia race overseas on a large scale, the harm to the Daxia race will be extremely great and terrifying.

Because this may lead to the development of a terrible super virus overseas specifically targeting the Daxia race.

Although according to the current situation, even if the super virus is developed, it may not really leak out. After all, if you can do it, others may do the same.

In the end, everyone will be like holding a mushroom bomb. Although everyone holds it, no one dares to actively use it.

But we should be prepared for the worst. Who knows if there will be a moment of confusion? And who knows if there will be an accidental leak?

Under such circumstances, Xingtu Technology actually wanted to acquire Huada Gene Company.

As the incident was exposed by the media, it caused a sensation in the technology media circle for a while, and even overseas technology media were reporting on it.

People are speculating about Xingtu Technology's intentions and want to know what Xingtu Technology is trying to do.

……

Shenzhen, Huada Gene Headquarters.

"What do you think about Xingtu Technology's intention to acquire Huada Gene?"

At this time, Wang Jian, the thin and gray-haired head of Huada Gene, asked the company's senior executives present.

There was no expression on his face at this moment, and no one could guess his opinion on this matter from his expression and words.

"I think this is a good thing. Xingtu Technology's artificial intelligence technology is very powerful. If we can use their artificial intelligence technology, our research speed will be doubled."

The person speaking at this time was Academician Yang Ming, one of the three founders of Huada Gene, and was mainly responsible for research and development.

He has led Huada Gene to participate in the Daxia Human Genome Project, the International Human Genome Project, the International Human Haplotype Project, the International 1000 Genomes Project, the International Cancer Genome Project...

In addition, he has made important contributions to the research of the first Asian genome, human pan-genomics, ancient human genome, and intestinal meta-genome.

It can be said that Academician Yang Ming is the super star of Huada Gene Company. His contribution to the development of Huada Gene to its current level cannot be ignored.
