Chapter 321: Chapter 161: A Tool for Plausibility (Part 2)

Over the past half-year, Jiang Miao had crammed a great deal of computer science knowledge. He had a photographic memory and could learn all sorts of new things at an incredible speed.

However, he didn’t design a new piece of software from scratch. Instead, he directly "borrowed" the analysis software from a major biotechnology and gene-sequencing company, gave it a new look, and integrated it with the technology and databases of other companies, along with some of the genetic principles he had deduced himself.

During the Spring Festival holiday, Jiang Miao took advantage of the time off to secretly complete this gene analysis tool.

This tool could be used to rapidly analyze the gene sequences of microorganisms, plants, and animals.

Hearing that Hailufeng Company possessed such a gene analysis tool, Professor Wang connected the dots, and it all started to make sense. He grew a little curious. "General Manager Jiang, how fast and accurate is this gene analysis tool?"

Jiang Miao explained smoothly, "Our soybean gene database is quite comprehensive. The gene sequences of 1,000 soybean samples can be fully analyzed in about 20 to 50 hours, with simultaneous matching against the database. Based on our current research, the accuracy is around 90%. This allows us to quickly screen for soybean varieties that have a high concentration of beneficial genes."

"That fast? And with such high accuracy?" Professor Wang was floored.

He knew, of course, that this kind of analysis would still require researchers to perform a secondary review, but even so, it was more than ten times faster than traditional breeding methods.

Of course, this was all contingent on having an efficient tool and a comprehensive gene database. Otherwise, you would just end up with a huge pile of meaningless gene sequences.

To get highly accurate results from a metagenomic analysis system efficiently, there were three prerequisites:

An analysis model.

Computational power.

And a gene database.

All three were indispensable.

As things stood, humanity’s computational power was barely sufficient.

But in terms of analysis models and gene databases, there was still significant room for improvement.

Jiang Miao’s analysis model was, on one hand, borrowed from the models of other scientific research institutions and biotechnology companies. On the other hand, he had deduced 37 genetic principles himself. By incorporating just a portion of these principles into the analysis model, he could dramatically increase its accuracy and speed.

As for the data for the gene database, he could simply use the genetic information stored by his appraisal panel.

The only troublesome part was that Jiang Miao had to manually enter the contents of these gene sequences into the database one by one.

But what could he do? The appraisal panel was fused with his soul’s dark matter, and there was no technology that could accurately read brainwaves, let alone a brainwave data-transfer device.

Even if such technology existed, Jiang Miao wouldn’t use it. After all, who would dare to casually use a device that could read their mind, especially when they had a massive secret to hide?

The tool was currently working very well. It was especially useful for people like Shuya, who understood genetic principles but didn’t have an appraisal panel. She could use this tool to further increase her research efficiency.

Of course, another purpose of this tool was to serve as the technical justification for the various new crop varieties and agricultural products that Jiang Miao was rapidly developing.

After all, as Hailufeng Company launched more and more new products, the outside world’s attention on it was growing by the day.

Jiang Miao had to provide a plausible explanation.

And the existence of this tool would also cause Jiang Miao’s importance to skyrocket.

In fact, Jiang Miao had already reported the importance of this gene analysis tool to the higher-ups through He Youwei’s channels. The authorities were already organizing relevant experts to come for an inspection.

The inspection was tentatively scheduled for November of this year.

This timing was chosen specifically to verify the effectiveness of the gene analysis tool in the field of soybean breeding. As long as Hailufeng Company’s experimental soybean fields in Monan were successful, the technical inspection team would come immediately.

If the results were truly that impressive, the gene analysis tool would certainly be placed under strict protection. It might even be assigned its own dedicated large-scale supercomputer. In the future, besides its creator, Jiang Miao, and people like Lin Shuya, anyone else who wanted to use the tool would have to go through a rigorous approval process.

Even if the tool was currently only useful for a select few crops and farm animals, it was still a monumental achievement, not to mention that Jiang Miao could continue to improve it.

...

The two sides talked for half an hour.

Professor Wang was completely overwhelmed. He found Jiang Miao to be incredibly formidable; he had all sorts of biological knowledge at his fingertips, and the professor could barely keep up with his train of thought and pace.

The PhD students, meanwhile, looked utterly bewildered. At first, they could understand parts of the conversation, but as the discussion became more and more technical, only Professor Wang and two senior researchers were able to barely keep up with Jiang Miao.

CLANK CLANK...

A server from the restaurant pushed a food cart in.

Seeing this, Professor Wang heaved a sigh of relief. ’The food’s finally here,’ he thought. ’I almost couldn’t keep up. How is that guy Jiang Miao’s brain even wired? He’s a monster.’

Professor Wang and the others looked exactly like students who, after being called on by the teacher, were saved by the bell.

Jiang Miao noticed their micro-expressions and chuckled to himself. ’If I don’t blow you all away, how am I supposed to establish my genius persona?’
