When Chen Chen entered the power control room, Little X had already finished playing Rise of the Planet of the Apes for him.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes, released in 2011, was about the protagonist who invented a viral drug called ALZ-112 to treat his father's Alzheimer's disease.
The principle of this drug was to infect the human brain with an artificially modulated virus, thereby regenerating and repairing the brain nerves.
However, many people probably don't understand the specific principles. In fact, we can use an analogy.
In 2015, scientists in Germany discovered a special gene that only exists in modern humans and their closest relatives – arhgap11b.
These genes with a long list of names helped the reproduction of brain stem cells, allowing the brain to produce more neurons during the development process, and the emergence of advanced cognitive abilities such as' thinking 'and' language '.
In other words, it was very likely that it was because of the existence of this gene that humans were able to escape the food chain and climb to the top of the natural world.
In order to further study the function of the gene, the German scientists conducted an experiment. Through genetic engineering, they implanted the gene into mouse embryos to observe what changes would happen to the mice that received the fruit of wisdom.
The results were also very gratifying. After these genetically modified mice were born, their brain capacity had increased significantly.
It was important to note that the cerebral cortex of an ordinary mouse was supposed to be very smooth, looking like a peanut. However, after the human gene was transferred, the cerebral cortex had to be compressed and folded due to the large increase in surface area, which resulted in a cortical folding phenomenon similar to that of the human brain.
From this, it could be seen that the arhgap11b gene played a vital role in the development and evolution of the nervous system.
(I just don't know if the mice managed to escape from the prison at the end of the experiment. If they succeeded, maybe in a few decades or centuries, there will be a real-life version of "The Rise of Mouse Ball", hehe.)
The ALZ-112 virus in Rise of the Planet of the Apes used the same principle. By transferring alternative genes into the brain, it prevented the death of nerve cells caused by Alzheimer's disease and rejuvenated the brain's nerve cells.
Moreover, the plot of the movie was very similar to the above experiment. The protagonist of the movie carried out this kind of experiment on a chimpanzee. As a result, the chimpanzee's intelligence greatly increased, and it even gave birth to a child, "Caesar", who became the culprit of the destruction of human civilization.
Although their methods were different, their goals were the same.
However, in reality, it was only possible to modify the genes of biological embryos and not the genes of adult organisms. This was because adult organisms had trillions of genes in their bodies, and it was impossible to modify all of them.
That was why there was a retrovirus in the movie that could change the genes of the whole body.
The T-virus, G-virus, DX-1118 virus, and so on all followed the same principle.
After returning to reality, Chen Chen unplugged the charging USB drive and plugged it into the computer. Then, he attempted to drag the downloaded Rise of the Planet of the Apes into the USB drive.
Dong!
However, there was an unexpected sound. This seemingly scientific movie was rejected by the USB flash drive …
Chen Chen raised an eyebrow as if he did not believe it and tried again.
But the result was the same.
Emmmm …
Chen Chen thought for a moment. While the USB drive was not paying attention, he gently clicked on "Rise of the Planet of the Apes .mp4". The cursor flashed and Chen Chen quickly changed it to "Dream of the Red Mansion.Mp4". Then, he quickly dragged it into the USB drive.
Dong!
Hmm, the attempt to fool the USB drive failed.
It seemed that this movie did not meet the core values of the USB drive.
Chen Chen shook his head helplessly. Unsurprisingly, the first step had failed.
Anyone with a basic understanding of biology would know that the movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes contained many elements of pseudoscience, such as the protagonist's father.
The protagonist's father was in the middle stage of Alzheimer's disease. In the middle stage, a large number of brain cells in this disease would die. Even if the remaining neurons were saved by the ALZ-112, the damage to brain function and memory loss caused by the disease would be impossible to recover.
Therefore, it was impossible for the protagonist's father to be restored to a normal person in the movie.
Also, the human brain was smart not only because of its complexity but also because of its size. The human brain's capacity was three times that of a chimpanzee. Therefore, it was impossible for the chimpanzee in the movie to reach the level of human intelligence.
In addition, even if there was a virus designed in reality that could modify the brain of a chimpanzee, this virus might not be able to modify the brains of other chimpanzees.
Just like the ALZ-113 virus, it could increase the intelligence of chimpanzees but was lethal to humans. It was impossible for the ALZ-113 to appear in the movie. It was not just chimpanzees, even orangutans, gorillas, bonobos, and other apes could achieve the effect of "enlightenment".
The origin of this movie was the ALZ-113 virus. Without this virus, nothing would have happened. However, this virus had exceeded the capabilities of a virus in reality. Could this be the truth behind why the movie could not be dragged into the USB drive?
The origin of the movie?
Chen Chen thought about it and downloaded another movie.
Sharks in Deep Sea.
This movie was also related to Alzheimer's disease, but it treated the disease by extracting the protein from the shark's brain.
According to the method in the movie, a few drops of the protein were directly applied to the brain cells to activate the dead brain cells for six seconds. To Chen Chen, this was no longer science fiction but fantasy.
The result was not out of Chen Chen's expectations. The attempt to drag Deep Sea Sharks into the USB drive still failed.
Seeing that the first plan he came up with had completely failed, Chen Chen stopped thinking about it. He plugged the USB drive back into the charging port and found a contact list on his phone.
After thinking about it, Chen Chen dialed a number.
"Mr. Edwards?"
"I'm Chen Chen."
"I have a mission and I'm not sure if you're interested. It's about making a movie."
"Yes, I'll provide the story. I need a famous screenwriter, a famous director, and a group of famous movie stars to play out the story I provide and successfully release it. I need at least a hundred million in the box office."
"Of course, the sooner the better. It's best not to take more than three months from the writing of the script to the release."
"I'll pay for the investment myself. 1000 information points, that's all I can ask for."
"Happy working with you..."
Chen Chen hung up after that.
Chen Chen contacted a family in North America called the Edwards family.
The Edwards Financial Group was a famous financial giant on Wall Street. Its industries included but were not limited to electronics, optics, space, missiles, and other electronic industries. Most importantly, it was also involved in the entertainment industry.
The Edwards family held shares of more than 200 film companies in Hollywood, which was equivalent to one-fifth of Hollywood.
The person Chen Chen contacted was one of the three heads of the Edwards family. He was also the member who attended the meeting, Robert Edwards.
