These technologies are going to take a long, long iife.

Whether it is abroad or at home, past or present, the pursuit of longevity has never stopped, but so far has never been successful. So the question is, what is the reason that prevents human life from prolonging? The author roughly sorted out, found that people can not live a long life is mainly suffering from disease, hunger and environmental pollution, so that mankind can only regret the end of their own lives. So the question comes again, is there any technology that can solve the problem? I am pleased to tell you that the answer is biological digital technology!

Everyone has the perfect gene.

In the future, a similar "born" bad excuse is never to mention a disgrace, because from the moment you were born, the body's genes have been "reformed" completed. This is not an empty talk or fantasy, because the singularity Incubator's Cambrian Genomics company has created the world's first DNA laser printer to produce one of the worlds ' most synthetic genes, allowing scientists to modify and repair them to ensure that children do not receive future breast cancer, The gene for cystic fibrosis and Huntington's disease. Do you know? Breast cancer alone kills 500,000 people worldwide every year! It is conceivable that if we can completely end this disease, we can save how many lives.

Maybe you think it's just a printer, but I have to tell you, it's really big. At present the scientific community wants to get a synthetic DNA of the cost is very high, such as a human DNA base pairs of the cost of up to 300 million dollars, which makes every year a number of scientific institutions thus deterred, many studies to pause. The use of this DNA laser printer will be reduced by 1000 times times the cost, only 300,000 dollars can be completed, a full savings of 299.7 million dollars, this price enough to buy 3.5 Boeing 737 aircraft.

The printer uses cheap lasers to quickly sort DNA by having fast moving properties, allowing researchers to synthesize large, inexpensive DNA in a short time. The current global use of synthetic DNA is expected to save $1 billion a year, enough to allow three DNA laboratories to start cutting-edge research.

The lab can "grow" beef.

(founder father and son are discussing the research results)

Although hunger is now slowly being eradicated, 805 million people are still starving on earth every day. They don't say eat meat every day, can fill belly already amitabha. It has been proved that the traditional way to solve the problem of hunger is almost impossible, but the use of biological digital technology can be used to "plant" meat in the laboratory, no longer need to keep a variety of livestock to obtain meat.

The modern Ranch company is the "pupil" of the singularity incubator, and its researchers have successfully used 3D printers and tissue engineering to breed beef and pork in the lab in 2011. They only need 700 million beef cells (seemingly large in size, actually small enough to be visible to the naked eye) to produce a steak in less than one months. This steak is a real meat, not another protein substitute. The co-founder also fried a lab-made artificial pork and ate it on the spot in a Ted speech in 2011. In the future, the technology will be more mature and universal, the laboratory production of various meat will no longer be a dream, which will effectively alleviate the world's imminent demand for meat consumption.

In fact, the laboratory "kind of" meat to alleviate not only the food crisis, environmental protection also has a great contribution. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, animal husbandry emits 14.5% of the world's total greenhouse gases, equivalent to 144 million tonnes of oil. If all animal husbandry is converted into laboratory "seed" meat, then in the case of producing the same weight of meat. The lab is less than 99.7% of the land and 94% of the water, the entire process of greenhouse gases will be reduced by 98.8%, the impact of the big will make you surprised.

Bacteria to restore the Earth to its original appearance

(Damage caused by water pollution)

With the continuous advancement of the process of human industrialization, the earth has been transformed beyond recognition, with the ensuing environmental pollution has become the greatest threat to human survival, including water pollution and soil pollution is the most imminent problem. At present, the most serious culprit of water pollution and soil pollution is chemical pollution. When chemical waste is emitted and stacked randomly, our water and soil are infected and have a lot of ripple effects.

Such a situation in developing countries is very common, clearly yesterday or a Blue brook, today is already cloudy and unbearable? If in the past, facing the polluted water we can do is to stop the source of pollution, and then only stare expect the water source of self recovery. But now scientists from the United States have developed a man-made bacterium using biometric technology to help clean up water. You don't look at it as a bacterium far away from it, in fact, bacteria are also good or bad. The bio-digital technology developed by bacteria can disrupt a toxic chemical called polychlorinated biphenyls, when PCBs encounter "strong bacteria" there is no hiding place, can only wait to perish, let your impression of the stream again crystal clear.

Bacteria are also targeted to improve soil pollution. A bacterium called Geobacter, discovered by a Michigan State University team that its ability to eat uranium, has certainly given hope to many areas where nuclear leaks have occurred, such as the release of the bacterium into the soil and water after the Fudao nuclear spill in Japan, Can reduce the serious threat posed by nuclear leakage.

From Qin Shihuang sent Xufu to the ocean for the elixir of life. Now scientists clearly threaten human survival by means of biometric digital technology, and the desire to prolong it has never ceased. Today, the so-called elixir of antiquity has been proven to be unreliable, so we will want to place it in the biological digital technology. 10 years ago, bio-digital technology for the industry is a strange vocabulary, and today, it has become the industry's unique technology flow, perhaps in the next 10, it will become one of the most development and extension of biotechnology. Every advance in biological digital technology always gets us closer to the nature of things and achieves the same result by changing the process of shortening things, which means that many of our conventional perceptions will be broken in the future.
