Advertisements for "Jurassic Park" can be seen everywhere in newsstands and bookstores on the streets of London, and two students are attracted by the domineering dinosaur portraits on the posters.
Leonard pointed to the poster on the glass wall of the bookstore across the road: "Joyce, look at the monster on that poster, is it the dinosaur we saw yesterday when we visited the Museum of Natural History?"
"It should be. ”
Joyce squinted slightly, trying to read the words on the poster, but because of the distance, he couldn't read clearly.
"Let's go and see. ”
The two carefully crossed the road and came to the glass wall of the bookstore, staring at the huge poster pasted on it, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned, although they had seen dinosaur fossils and dinosaur bones put together in the museum, but they were only bones, and they had never seen the true face of dinosaurs.
"Jurassic Park, the latest masterpiece of science fiction master Evan. ”
Joyce was reading the words on the poster, and Leonard on the side suddenly asked curiously, "What kind of dinosaur do you say this is?"
"Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
Joyce blurted out.
"Tyrannosaurus rex?"
Leonard looked carefully at the dinosaur on the poster, with its sharp teeth and tall and burly body, compared to the human drawn below, it seems that it is indeed the only Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton on display in the museum.
"Where are you going?"
Noticing Joyce's movements, Leonard shouted.
"Go buy a book and read it. ”
"Books?"
Leonard glanced at the poster, only then did he notice the words next to it, and when he saw that it was a book written by his favorite author, Evan, he hurriedly followed.
The two entered the bookstore one after the other, each bought a copy of "Jurassic Park", and did not leave directly, but sat at the table and chair provided by the bookstore and began to read the book.
The cover of the book is a Tyrannosaurus rex that has just been seen on a poster outside, except that it now has its head raised and seems to be roaring, and below it is a group of panicked humans.
Joyce turned the first page, which reads "Jurassic Park – Ancient Roar"
Preface: "Many years ago, I had the privilege of reading Mr. Conan Doyle's science fiction work "The Lost World" written by Mr. Conan Doyle in 1925, this book is a science fiction work written by Mr. Conan Doyle that I have rarely read, it is a very wonderful and bold science fiction, it is precisely because after reading this book, I have always imagined in my mind that hundreds of millions of years ago, as the life born on the earth - "dinosaurs".
When I went to the United States in the middle of last year, I saw the dinosaur fossils and bones I had always dreamed of at the Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles. It was the skeleton of an adult Tyrannosaurus rex, from hundreds of millions of years ago, and its antiquity fascinated me.
When I visited the Los Angeles Museum, I unconsciously came up with one fantasy after another about dinosaurs, and it was from these fantasies that created the birth of this book......"
"Conan Doyle also wrote about dinosaurs?"
As the author of the well-known British Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle, Joyce naturally knew him, and like countless Britons, he was a fan of "Sherlock Holmes" written by Conan Doyle, but what he didn't expect was that Conan Doyle actually wrote science fiction about dinosaurs.
Not only does Joyce not know this, but many young Britons may not have heard of Conan Doyle's science fiction work "The Lost World".
Read on.
The first chapter is called "The Giant Mosquito in Amber."
Joyce and Leonard next to him watched very seriously, and in a blink of an eye, an afternoon passed quietly before they knew it.
It wasn't until the owner of the bookstore came to shout that they were going to close the door that the two woke up from their addiction, and saw that it was already dark outside, and the neon lights on the side of the road had already turned on.

With the release of "Jurassic Park" in the UK, more and more people are buying this book, indulging in the science fiction story of the resurrection of the ancient overlord, and one novel word after another in the book has become a topic of discussion among countless people.
"Jurassic Park, the latest masterpiece by well-known author Evan Hoe, sold 500,000 copies a week and topped the bestseller list of the week in the UK!" – The Times
"A giant amber from hundreds of millions of years ago has created the resurrection of an ancient overlord!Should humanity learn a lesson from this book?" - Philosophical Weekly
"Jurassic Park takes you into the world of creatures that dominated the Earth hundreds of millions of years ago!" – The Guardian
"If the technology of the future can clone dinosaurs, does that mean that humans can be cloned? So, will humanity be destroyed in its own hands, as many fantasies have been made?" - The Daily Telegraph
"Genius of ideas, genius of fantasy, genius of thinking, genius of writing! Mr. Evan is another master of science fiction after Arthur C. C. Clarke, Robert Heinlein, and Isaac Asimov!" - London Financial Journal
For several days, British newspapers of all sizes, whether nationally distributed or regional, were all reporting on "Jurassic Park" created by Fok Yaowen without exception.
This kind of large-scale reporting is a book written by a Chinese, and even when "Harry Potter" was born a few years ago, it did not have such a big sensation, let alone the time that Thames Publishing Company spent money on.
The main reason why eighty percent of British newspapers reported the news was that just a few days ago, Princess Anne, who had just been married for less than half a year, was kidnapped by a gunman on the streets of London.
Fortunately, the princess's bodyguards and the police who rushed to hear the news subdued the gangsters as soon as possible, so that the princess was not kidnapped!
Because of this, in order to avoid the expansion of the impact of the princess kidnapping case, the royal family used the publication of Huo Yaowen's new work to promote the book "Jurassic Park" on a large scale, trying to reduce people's excessive attention to this incident.
In addition, no well-known writers have published new books this month, resulting in "Jurassic Park" becoming the focus of discussion in the UK.
If Huo Yaowen knew, I am afraid that he would also laugh secretly, and was inexplicably pulled to block the gun, although it was a little unpleasant, but the benefits brought by real sales were still very good.
When the British newspaper comprehensively reported this new book of Huo Yaowen, the London "Science Magazine" published an article, which once again shocked the whole of the United Kingdom, and even gradually spread to the world!
The article is titled "Future cloning technology from Jurassic Park":
Recently, the new book "Jurassic Park" by well-known author Evan Huo has sold more than 500,000 copies in just one week since its release, and it is about to become another best-selling book. The unfamiliar terms in the book have become a hot topic of public discussion, some people think that it is made up by Mr. Evan, and others think that it is a fantasy of the future of science.
Among them, the most controversial are "cloning" and "IVF".
Presumably, many readers are unfamiliar with the term cloning, which simply means to replicate an identical organism through existing genetic technology. The term cloning was first coined in 1963 when Dane adopted the term "cloning" in a lecture entitled "The Biological Possibilities of the Human Race in the Next 20,000 Years". But as early as 11 years ago, in 1952, biological scientists Robert Briggs and Thomas B. J. King succeeded in cloning the northern leopard frog.
In recent years, cloning technology has also been the mainstream content in the world, and many institutions are experimenting with this cloning technology. So in a sense, it is not a fantasy to complete the "Jurassic Park" to extract ancient mosquito genes and blood to clone dinosaurs.
As for IVF, as of now, this newspaper has not found relevant information, according to Mr. Evan in the future world constructed in "Jurassic Park", IVF is a genetic technology invented to solve the problem of women's inability to have children. In this process, a woman's egg and a man's sperm are retrieved, combined in a laboratory to form an embryo, and then the embryo is transferred to the uterus so that it implants in the mother's uterus for pregnancy.
To this end, we specifically asked Mr. Stepto, a British biology and genetic expert, who was very interested in the sci-fi technology of this future "test tube baby", saying that if theoretically speaking, this is a feasible solution, but the combination of embryos involves a lot of unsolved technologies, so this is only a theoretically feasible solution.
At the end of the interview, Mr. Stepto said that he would contact Mr. Evan as soon as possible to inquire about more fantasies about this bold but seemingly feasible "IVF" technique!
