"Hello, professor."

After remembering what the professor had just said, Xu Xiaobai put away his notebook and followed.

Walking out of the corridor, the old professor looked at Xu Xiaobai with a humble and confident look on his face, and asked with a smile: "Can you show me your laptop?"

"Can."

Xu Xiaobai nodded, took out the pen on the notebook, and handed the notebook over to the old professor.

The professor looked through pages carefully, especially when he saw the passage of Xu Xiaobai writing about the evolution of ant population on his way, which was actually a record of the space ant colony. The professor read it carefully twice.

After a long time, the professor closed the notebook and handed it back to Xu Xiaobai. He couldn't stop admiring it in his eyes and asked, "What's your name? Are you interested in being my graduate student?"

"Forehead!"

Xu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Professor, my name is Xu Xiaobai, but I'm afraid it's not possible to be your graduate student.

I am just a high school graduate and not a college student. I am just interested in biology, so I often come to listen to classes.”

From the professor's actions just now looking through the notebook, Xu Xiaobai knew that the space ant records written in the notebook in a conjecture tone has attracted the professor's attention.

"this......"

The professor didn't expect that Xu Xiaobai was not a college student, so hesitated and asked, "How did you come up with the guesswork about the evolution of ant colony in your notebook?"

"Professor, this is how it is. As social insects, the types of ant colonies are determined by pheromones, which determine the gene expression and development direction of ants.

In this case, I think if the ant colony flew out from the same ant colony will slightly change the genes of one of the ant colonys, and then because they were originally flew out from the same ant colony, they all came from the same eggs laid by the same queen.

This way, the pheromone emitted by the queen of ant colony that only slightly changed the genes should also be sensed by the original normal ant colony, which stimulates them to evolve as well.

If there are more ant colonies flying out of the same ant colony in an area, one of the ant colonies will stimulate other ant colonies after mutating and evolving. In the end, the entire ant colony will affect each other, and all ant colonies will enter the peak period of mutation evolution.

This trend of mutation evolution should continue until their mutations have evolved deep enough until the ant colony in this area completely differentiates from the genetic level into two different ants, and this situation will not be suspended."

Xu Xiaobai explained the situation of the ant colony in the original bead to the professor.

This is what he intends to use as a guess to ask the professor, with the purpose of showing his talent and preparing for deeper questions.

However, Xu Xiaobai did not expect that before he could use this record to ask the professor and lay the foundation for his next question, he accidentally caused the girl to call him out because he became handsome, so he asked the professor to call him out, and he achieved his goal in advance.

But this is better. In this way, it won't seem more abrupt if he asks questions later.

"Based on your guess alone, even if the experiment was not successful in the end, it would be enough to make you my graduate student.

It’s just a pity that you have never been to university and have no university foundation in other disciplines. Biology graduate courses are too difficult for you. If I make you my graduate student, it will harm you.”

After listening to Xu Xiaobai's explanation, the professor thought for a while and finally sighed deeply.

He was regretting Xu Xiaobai's inspirational talent in biology.

Inspiration also requires corresponding basic knowledge to be tested and perfected. Xu Xiaobai graduated from high school and for many years he had forgotten his original knowledge. If Xu Xiaobai started studying university courses from scratch, he may not have any grades in his 30s.

This will not only waste Xu Xiaobai's talent, but also Xu Xiaobai's current life will also be destroyed.

"Professor, interest is the best teacher. I am quite interested in biology. Maybe I will play it out if I think about it myself. Even if I don't have grades, it's better to treat it as an interest. It's better than playing games often at my age."

Xu Xiaobai, who was not interested in graduate students, smiled and comforted Professor. He said that he turned the notebook in his hand to the end, showed the questions he had prepared in advance to the professor, and asked: "Professor, I found out after searching the information online.

If a certain gene of a organism is suddenly changed, a gene is implanted into a organism, or a gene is replaced by a organism, there will always be a high probability that a gene will collapse.

It seems that genes can only adapt and change themselves so that they will not have a high probability of gene collapse. Artificial transformation is always inevitable. What is going on? How can we avoid such a situation?"

With the previous proof of Xu Xiaobai's inspirational talent, the professor was not surprised by this issue. He thought about it and said: "Your question involves genetic modification and gene optimization.

Genetic transformation is an international cutting-edge biotechnology. Everyone is currently exploring it, but this phenomenon is easy to understand. Do you know what computer programs are?"

"I know." Xu Xiaobai nodded.

"You can regard biological genes as an evolutionary computer program. The creation of a program requires first building a program framework, then dividing it step by step, and finally implementing it line by line of code.

Each line of code can be regarded as a gene. If some codes have problems, the program will have loopholes. If some codes change, the changed code will cause internal conflicts of the program, resulting in program crashes.

This is also the reason why artificial transformation, implantation, and replacement of genes are likely to cause gene collapse.

Because we only understand the gene framework of this organism, such as how many chromosomes it has and how many gene bases it has, but we don’t know what each gene has. If changing this gene will conflict with another gene in the organism, it will lead to gene collapse.

If the gene bases of a organism are in units of billions, they will definitely lead to a high probability of gene collapse and death.

Natural mutation evolution is like the self-adjustment of a program. The program itself must know what the function of each line of code that constitutes itself and what kind of code it will conflict with. Therefore, natural mutation evolution easily leads to gene collapse."

After listening carefully to the professor's words, Xu Xiaobai thought about it and asked: "That means that if we want to optimize and transform the genes of organisms at will and not let the genes collapse 100%, we must first understand the role and information of all genes in this organism, and then we can talk about further transformation and optimization?"

“Yes, that’s what it means!

Only when you fully understand the program Gene and every piece of its code can you optimize the program and add various new functions to the program."

"Then I understand, thank you professor."

A faint excitement flashed in Xu Xiaobai's eyes.

"It's okay, the young man is good, much better than other young people. If you have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me any questions. Don't waste your interests."

After knowing that Xu Xiaobai was not a student, the professor also changed his name, but at the same time he also appreciated Xu Xiaobai's pleasure in learning more and more.
