Chapter 1040 Artificial Intelligence
Use computers to assist in scientific research, with artificial intelligence being the first.

For example, in protein structural biology, scientists have used artificial intelligence to predict the complex structure of proteins.

Google has a company called DeepMind that uses artificial intelligence to conduct scientific research in biology, and it has made outstanding achievements in this regard. The company has built an artificial intelligence model called AlphaFold 2. This model has successfully solved a problem that scientists have been struggling with for decades - predicting the structure of proteins from amino acid sequences.

Since its establishment, Alpha Fold 2 has been used in a large number of scientific applications, and more than 190 million people from about 200 countries have used the Alpha Fold 2 model. For example, pharmacists use it to apply antibiotic resistance, find new treatments for diseases such as malaria, develop new targeted drugs, protein research, etc. These studies will help people better understand diseases and develop new drugs faster.

In the field of protein research, "AlphaFold 2" greatly shortens the time for manually determining protein structure, demonstrating the powerful auxiliary role of artificial intelligence in scientific research.

In the past, a top scientific research team could only analyze the structures of a dozen proteins a year, but AlphaFold 2 can analyze hundreds of millions of proteins at a time. The time advantage of this efficiency is simply not of the same dimension.

Artificial intelligence not only has huge advantages in the prediction of protein structure, but also has huge advantages in the design of protein structure.

There are only a limited number of protein types in nature. In order to achieve some special purposes, researchers hope to create new types of proteins, such as using some new proteins to achieve the purpose of curing diseases. Similarly, artificial intelligence models also have huge advantages in this regard. It can design a completely new protein structure that does not exist in nature in a very short time. If human beings are asked to complete this work, it will take a lot of manpower and time. At present, a scientific research team at a university in the United States has taken the lead in this regard.

Yang Ping thought that if scientists' ideas and methods could be expressed through artificial intelligence models, its power would be amazing. This is equivalent to having a powerful "system" to assist researchers in scientific research.

Thinking of this, Yang Ping's plan was already very clear in his mind. He wanted to use the knowledge he had mastered to build an artificial intelligence model to assist scientific research. For example, if a certain harmless bacteria carrying the K factor were to be done manually, it would take ten or twenty years to get results. However, with the help of artificial intelligence, the optimal structure might be obtained in a few minutes.

If you want to build a model, you must rely on the integration of mathematics, computational science and biological knowledge. In this regard, Yang Ping, who speaks Chinese as his native language, has a natural advantage. He has read a large number of monographs and papers in the system space, and all these papers were translated by the system at that time. This is equivalent to Yang Ping reading almost all the world's excellent books and papers in Chinese. The interdisciplinary advantage of Chinese is unmatched by any other language in the world.

Yang Ping assigned this project to Director He because this artificial intelligence model must be based on Director He's digital human, so as to achieve many goals in medical research.

When Director He received Yang Ping's project, he thought it would be difficult to complete it on his own, so he joined forces with Nandu University and Nandu University of Science and Technology to build an artificial intelligence model. Nandu University is strong in mathematics, and Nandu University of Science and Technology has accumulated a lot of experience in artificial intelligence. The three universities joined forces to learn from each other and build this artificial intelligence model. As for the issue of money, with Yang Ping's support, that was not a problem at all.

Yang Ping now has a very clear idea in his mind, which is to use artificial intelligence to build a real "system", improve the efficiency of scientific research, reduce detours, and reduce the number of trial and error.

Yang Ping looked at the time and decided not to rush home after get off work. He could also go to the stem cell laboratory and talk with Tang Shun about the latest scientific research progress.

Tang Shun recently recruited some new people, and I don't know how the team is cooperating. Li Yingtong, the top stem cell talent introduced from the United States, has not made any moves, and I don't know what she thinks now and whether she can be retained.

Yang Ping actually thought about whether to keep Li Yingtong, and finally he thought that Tang Shun had the ability to keep her. If it were someone else, Yang Ping would not dare to take the risk, but for Tang Shun, if not 100% sure, at least 80% sure that he could keep Li Yingtong.

When they arrived at the stem cell laboratory, Tang Shun was in a meeting. Yang Ping didn't want to disturb them, so he found an office to rest for a while and wait for the meeting to end.

Since Tang Shun took over the laboratory work, he has managed the laboratory in an orderly manner. Not only has he recruited a large number of top talents and enabled these talents to work closely together, but he has also opened up many channels for the laboratory to make money, allowing a large amount of funds to flow into the laboratory continuously.

Yang Ping is very satisfied with Tang Shun's work. He is a high-end talent with high IQ, EQ and financial intelligence.

About ten minutes later, Tang Shun came to the office to see Yang Ping after the meeting: "Professor Yang, sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's nothing serious. I just came over to take a look and chat with you. Are you busy?" Yang Ping said.

Tang Shun knew that Professor Yang would come over to take a look whenever he had time, so he said, "I just wanted to come over to see you. I have something important to report to you."

"What's the matter?" Seeing Tang Shun's excitement, Yang Ping guessed that this was a big deal.

Tang Shun immediately opened the folder in his hand: "It's like this, professor. Our stem cell laboratory is preparing to launch a new business for the whole world. We have temporarily named this business the Anti-Aging Rejuvenation Plan. It's like this. We plan to use stem cell technology to help the world's wealthy people fight aging, prolong their lives, and increase their vitality. Currently, many stem cell teams in the world are doing this work, but their technology is far inferior to ours. Especially in stem cell culture technology, we are the best in the world. Now with our new technology, we can quickly and safely culture a large number of high-quality stem cells. In addition to being used for scientific research, there are a lot of surplus of these stem cells. So I plan to launch a stem cell anti-aging treatment project, with a starting price of 10 million US dollars for one treatment. This project is conservatively estimated to bring us tens of billions of US dollars in revenue each year, so that our laboratory does not need donations at all and can have a steady stream of funds."

A project brings in tens of billions of US dollars in revenue. This is definitely a big project. Money makes things easier. Yang Ping always believes in this truth. To produce results in scientific research, it actually means piling up money and talents. So Yang Ping instantly became interested.

Yang Ping thought about it carefully and felt that Tang Shun’s “rejuvenation” project was reasonable and legal. It used stem cells to delay human aging and improve human health, which was a good thing.

This kid has a pretty good brain. Not only is his scientific research successful and his team well managed, he can also make a lot of money. It was really lucky that he went to Japan to pick up such a rare talent like Tang Shun.

"Making money is a good thing, but don't forget our original intention. My original intention is scientific research, not making money. Making money is just a means, not an end." Yang Ping tapped the desk lightly.

Tang Shun said confidently: "Professor, please rest assured that we will not forget our original intention. Scientific research is our main business, and making money is just a derivative sideline. Without our leading main business, how can we derive these profitable sidelines? The sideline business can make money and feed back to the main business. Only in this way can a virtuous circle be formed. The rich have money, and we have technology. We each take what we need. In this way, they can continuously provide us with scientific research funds, and we can go further."

Yang Ping didn't say anything, thinking about something. Tang Shun thought Yang Ping disagreed and asked, "Professor? What's the problem?"

Yang Ping thought for a while before speaking: "Well, this is a good idea, I support you, go for it boldly. But the price you are giving is too conservative. When you become famous in the future, the price will go up, or you can create different prices. High-priced projects will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, so that we can quickly introduce wealth and let wealth flow into our scientific research. Recently, I asked Director He to start using digital humans as medical agents to develop artificial intelligence in the medical and biological fields, which requires a lot of money. So you should set up this project as soon as possible, get it up and running as soon as possible, and continuously divert funds to our scientific research funding pool." Tang Shun breathed a sigh of relief. The professor was even more ruthless than himself. He started with such a big move. A professor is a professor. He stands high, sees far, and acts ruthlessly.

"Please tell me in detail about your rejuvenation plan." Yang Ping was very interested in hearing the details of the plan, and he decided to listen carefully to the details of this project.

Tang Shun immediately waved to the door: "Yingtong, come here!"

Li Yingtong immediately walked in from the large office outside with a document in her hand.

Tang Shun explained to Yang Ping: "Li Yingtong is now my secretary. Let her introduce you to the details of this project. We have held several meetings to discuss it. Everyone agrees. Now we are waiting for you to make the final decision."

"You have your own autonomy and don't need me to make the final decision, but I can also express my opinions." Yang Ping corrected Tang Shun's misconception about making the final decision.

"Go ahead!" Yang Ping raised his hand, signaling Li Yingtong that she could start speaking.

Li Yingtong blushed slightly and began to introduce the specific plan of the project to Yang Ping. In fact, Li Yingtong has also had a deep understanding of Yang Ping, the big boss, during this period. Yang Ping is a rare genius in the world, which makes Li Yingtong very impressed. It is a happy thing to be able to work under such a person.

Looking at Li Yingtong's current good condition, it seems that Tang Shun has tamed her, Yang Ping thought to himself. Yang Ping couldn't help but feel a little happier. Li Yingtong is a top talent in the field of stem cells. If she can stay and join Sanbo's team, she and Tang Shun will work closely together and they will definitely be the golden partners in the world's stem cell field.

Li Yingtong began to introduce the details of the "Rejuvenation Plan". She had clear ideas and gave a comprehensive introduction to the details of the entire plan in concise language. During the period, Yang Ping raised several very core questions, and her answers were very insightful.

After the introduction, Yang Ping had a basic understanding of the project. In fact, the use of stem cell technology to delay aging has become popular all over the world. Many wealthy people don't care about money at all and spend a lot of money just for a stem cell treatment to delay aging.

Because this project is very profitable, the field of stem cell therapy is currently mixed with good and bad, and many people who do not have the technical capabilities are cheating under the guise of stem cells, making it difficult for people who really need it to distinguish between the real and the fake. If top stem cell technology can be applied to the health care of the wealthy, it may be a good way to redistribute wealth.

Yang Ping nodded after listening to it: "Very good! I don't have any other good suggestions. I just want to say one thing, we must develop a strict application process to ensure the safety of stem cell applications, such as avoiding contamination and low quality."

"Next we will develop a complete operating procedure, and we will also investigate the more successful laboratories in the world and learn from their experience," Tang Shun said confidently.

After Li Yingtong finished her report, she left Yang Ping's office. After Li Yingtong left, Yang Ping signaled Tang Shun to close the office door.

"Dr. Tang, what's going on with Li Yingtong?" Yang Ping asked. Tang Shun used to call Li Yingtong "Dr. Li", then called her Li Yingtong, and now calls her Yingtong. There must be something wrong here.

At that time, Yang Ping gave Tang Shun a death order, requiring him to capture Li Yingtong's body and heart. Recently, he has been too busy and doesn't know how Tang Shun's secret mission is progressing. Now is a good time to find out the situation.

When Yang Ping asked this, Tang Shun's face turned slightly red.

Yang Ping was very surprised. This guy usually handled more than a dozen girlfriends with ease, but now he was blushing? What was going on?

"Yingtong is pregnant now, and we are planning to get married. I haven't had time to report this to you yet." Tang Shun said with a blushing face.

So fast?
Tang Shun is getting married?
Will his dozen girlfriends agree? Especially those Japanese women, will they not come and cause trouble? Will it cause an international dispute? Will a group of women besiege the Sanbo stem cell laboratory?
A series of questions came to Yang Ping's mind, but after thinking about it for a while, Yang Ping thought that the scene should be different at that time: when Tang Shun got married, his dozen girlfriends gathered around a table, having a great time, and finally bowed to Li Yingtong in unison: "It's really troublesome! Please take care of Tang Shun for us."

"Are you going to get married?" Yang Ping asked curiously.

"Yes, Yingtong agreed to stay. If I ask, she is willing to quit her job to become a full-time housewife and help me have many children." Tang Shun looked a little shy when he said this.

"Really?" Yang Ping couldn't believe his ears. "I don't want to be a full-time wife. It would be best if I could work together with you and achieve earth-shaking results in the field of stem cells."

Tang Shun himself expressed his plan: "I think so too."

"I don't have to pack up and leave now, right?" Tang Shun said with a smile.

Yang Ping gave Tang Shun a thumbs up and said, "You have made great contributions to our team, but you must handle the relationship with the big family well, and never let it affect your work, let alone cause major international disputes."

Tang Shun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Professor. I promise I won't cause you any trouble."
