"DNA hard drive?" Hou Zhijie took a deep breath when she heard this. "Similar experiments have indeed been verified in current academic laboratories."

"And in terms of storage density, DNA hard disks are a popular future massive data storage. In theory, one kilogram of DNA hard disk can store all the information in the current world. However, there are still too many difficulties in this technology that have not been overcome. The synthesis speed is slow, the synthesis cost is high, the inability to read and write quickly, and the inability to read and write randomly."

"However, it is enough to be able to artificially synthesize 10 kilograms of DNA and keep it for so long. Based on these alone, it is enough to judge that the technological strength of the alien intelligent creatures that made this box is more advanced than ours. It is very likely to create a practical DNA hard disk." Hou Zhijie said along Cheng Xiang's idea, "If this is the case, then a 200g DNA hard disk in a single small box should be able to store 400 million TB of information."

"If the content can be parsed out! Even if it is only one thousandth or one thousandth of useful information, it will bring immeasurable value." Hou Zhijie said this and his breath became very tight.

Grab and grab. Cheng Xiang also became solemn at the same time.

Indeed, as Hou Zhijie said, if this is really a hard disk, a hard disk of DNA data left by alien smart creatures, then the value in it is absolutely incalculable.

The 400 million TB of data is enough to store one-fifth of all human information on Earth. Such a massive amount of information, even if partly complete and partly useful, is a huge mountain of gold waiting to be excavated.

In particular, this is still information left over from an alien intelligent civilization.

No one knows what will be stored in such a data hard drive.

The information stored here may be the wisdom group of other civilizations, civilization and social sciences, which may contain the understanding of the universe by higher-level civilizations, research on themselves, and their scientific and technological achievements.

Too much space to imagine.

Two civilizations with a large difference in technology levels, even a toy that is universal in the eyes of high-level civilizations, is full of learning and research value in the eyes of low-level civilizations.

Silence for a few seconds.

Cheng Xiang and Hou Zhijie looked at each other and deeply felt the huge possibility and endless imagination space. Maybe there is important information about solving the genetic lock problem.

After dozens of breaths, the two of them tried to calm down.

"We have to adjust the research plan."

"The research team can be divided into two parts. Some of them study these gene characteristics according to the previous idea and according to the biological direction to find out whether there are any gene fragments that meet the biological characteristics. The other group can assume that these DNAs are storage media, and then use the idea of ​​biological storage media to find their rules."

"It should be like this," Hou Zhijie agreed, "I'll make arrangements now."

Soon, the research team previously selected immediately divided the new tasks under the arrangement of Hou Zhijie. At the same time, Hou Zhijie made a brief report to the superior agency. In addition, through the secret channel, he urgently applied for more than a dozen information storage experts to come to assist.

With this important new discovery about the mysterious box, the huge value that may exist cannot be paid too much attention to it. So on that night, eight information storage experts were in place, and the rest were on the way.

In a blink of an eye, four days have passed.

The new data received today has been delivered to the space center.

Cheng Xiang skillfully copied the project files in the hard drive to the computer and double-click to open them.

"If the genetic data in the last 10 numbered boxes are still successfully compared with the gene sequences in the previous 39 boxes, then we have previously guessed that the same information is stored in these 49 boxes, and we should be able to make a positive conclusion." Cheng Xiang said.

Hou Zhijie, who was standing aside, nodded in agreement. At the same time, the information storage expert standing aside also nodded at the same time, "That's right, although the data in the first thirty-nine boxes have a lot of wear and vacancies in individuals, overall, it should be confirmed that it is the same data."

"If the genes in the next 10 boxes can still match, then we can be completely sure that the 49 small boxes in this box store the same gene, and 49 stores are backups for each other. This is also the most common data disaster recovery and fault tolerance when storing data."

"In this way, the previous guess that this box is a piece of information storage medium is even more likely!"

The research is not considered certain before it is fully verified.

The comparison work of KAnzongyI.cc has been going on for five days, and Cheng Xiang is already very familiar with it, and he has summarized the newly obtained data documents into the local computer engineering library.

Select all numbered documents and start comparing!

With the help of supercomputing, the entire calculation process took only ten seconds, and the result was already concluded.

Everyone looked at the calculated statistical results.

The result is exactly the same as the incremental comparisons in the previous few times.

After excluding interference factors, the same part is five nine.

A joy flashed in everyone's eyes, and Cheng Xiang took a deep breath and stood up. "So far, we can make a sure conclusion that the genetic maps in these forty-nine small boxes are certainly the same."

Hou Zhijie was also filled with joy when she heard this.

六文 Variety Literature kanzongyi.cc 六文. "And, according to the research progress of another group, no obvious biological gene characteristics have been found yet."

"In other words, the possibility of this genetic map being a data storage medium is getting higher and higher."

The people around had no objection to this conclusion.

Seeing that everyone had no different opinions, Cheng Xiang immediately continued: "Since that's the case, we need to clarify our next work on this matter."

"Before we want to perform real data analysis, we must have a good reason to exclude that these genes are recorded as biological genes."

"Director Hou." Cheng Xiang looked at Hou Zhijie.

Hou Zhijie immediately stood up straight.

"I need you to evaluate the most suitable sampling and testing plan in the shortest time. And notify the space center as soon as possible, so that they can operate the scanning equipment on Mars according to our needs and extract the sample data fragments we need."

"yes!"

"Remember, be sure to seize the time. In addition, I remember that in our current Martian space orbit, there are spacecrafts with the ability to return to the Martian orbit. The Mars base also has the ability to send ground items into the Martian orbit. Immediately consult the space center and transport the box from Mars back to Earth as soon as possible."

"How much time do we have to draw a conclusion before that time period of time, with the fuel stored by the spacecraft now staying on Mars space orbit."

The distance between Mars and Earth is at least 50 million kilometers, and the farthest is as long as 400 million kilometers. During this voyage, the spacecraft needs to consume valuable fuel whether it is changing or accelerating. If the fuel is not enough, the only result is to lose the spacecraft forever, not to mention transporting back the important things preserved in the spacecraft. Therefore, this time must be determined from the beginning.
