The mammoth is a mammoth that lived in the Paleozoic era and is a behemoth with an average height of more than 4 meters. In the animated movie "Ice Age" in the previous life, there were mammoths, and the most impressive thing was its long mammoth horns, at least one or two meters long.

Henry was slightly surprised to hear that they were going to resurrect the mammoth, and secondly, the project was feasible from a technical point of view! The key to resurrecting the mammoth was to get a complete set of DNA. But as we all know, DNA has a half-life. According to calculations, there is about one decay every 521 years, and with each decay, the chemical bonds between the DNA are broken in half. It may only take 1.5 million years for these chemical bonds to be broken to the point that they are completely undecipherable.

Mammoths lived between 4.8 million and 4,000 years ago, so it is very likely that they will get relatively complete mammoth DNA!

In fact, compared to mammoths, people are more enthusiastic about resurrecting the former overlords of the earth - dinosaurs. But the tragedy is that the dinosaurs could have been extinct 65 million years ago, and the DNA was so damaged that only a few genes could be obtained. So, resurrecting the dinosaurs is almost impossible. Of course, nothing can be done in a coffin. The half-life of NDA is affected by a variety of environments, and perhaps in some extreme environments, the half-life of DNA is extended, and people may be able to obtain a more complete genome from it.

So far, people have obtained many genes from dinosaur fossils, although they are far from complete dinosaur genes, but they are not small. For example, by combining the genes of multiple dinosaurs with other animals, it is possible to create entirely new dinosaur species. There are quite a few close relatives of dinosaurs on Earth, and if these animals are chosen, then the success rate of the experiment will be further improved!

Gene Umbrella has no plans to resurrect animals for the time being, and Henry believes that as long as the technology is awesome and has the DNA of the animal, then resurrecting the animal is just a pediatric matter. Gene Umbrella is currently working on sequencing the human genome, and once the project is complete, it will then sequence the genomes of all plants and animals around the world.

Once you have mastered the genome sequences of all species in the world, you will have an incomparably huge wealth, which is worth more than gold and silver!

With the increasing power of biological gene technology, it is possible to artificially synthesize genes and create entirely new species. Actually, it's not that difficult. After the 21st century, the research team of American scientist Craig Venter announced that they had created the world's first "artificial gene".

Artificial genes are chemically arranged and combined to form new genomes, and finally "assembled" into various organisms. Cloning, on the other hand, is just a "replication" of life using existing genetic information, which is completely different from artificial genes! The main direction of research by the gene umbrella company is directly to artificial genes.

What kind of life would be created if all the powerful genes on earth were fused together? Would it be like the American cartoon "Sheriff Bresta", with the eyes of an eagle, the ears of a wolf, the speed of a leopard, the strength of a bear? or much more powerful than that......

If the "artificial gene" technology is used to create a completely new human gene, does it mean that human beings can create biological humans, that is, completely artificial humans and genetically modified custom humans?

……

At this time, Hawking interrupted Henry's thoughts and asked, "Mr. Williams, your decision is ......"

Henry raised his head and smiled at him, "Of course it's no problem, if they can really resurrect the mammoth, then I can build a mammoth park, just collect the entrance fee, haha......"

"Mr. Williams, they're in my neighborhood right now, would you like to meet them?"

"It's near your house, okay, you can call them now!" said Henry.

Hawking nodded, looked at his wife, and Elaine took out her phone from her black handbag and made a call.

Less than a minute, there was a knock on the door, and two men arrived at Hawking's house. In a suit and glasses was Smally, and the other bearded was the Russian expert Lazarev. The two said a simple hello to the Hawkings, and immediately looked at Henry with puzzled expressions.

Hawking's wife, Elaine, smiled and introduced the two of them: "This is Mr. Williams, and the lady next to him is Princess Ulysses!"

When the two of them heard this, they were shocked and hurriedly greeted Henry and Princess Ulysses, but their eyes were still full of doubts, because Henry's appearance was very different from what they knew.

Henry smiled and explained, "After the assassination bombing, my face was badly burned, and after healing, my appearance changed...... Well, let's not talk about that. I heard Mr. Hawking say, you plan to resurrect the mammoth?"

"Yes!" Ssmally nodded, "Although the mammoth is an extinct animal, the time of extinction is not far away, and it is entirely possible that we can find a complete set of DNA to resurrect this prehistoric beast!"

Henry nodded, "Well, that sounds pretty good. So, I'm investing $20 million in you as campaign funding, but after Mammoth resurrects, I'm asking for more than 70% of the proceeds from commercialization!"

Smalley and Lazarev glanced at each other and nodded, "No problem, Mr. Williams, we promise your terms!"

"Well, tomorrow bring the contract to the UK branch of Gene Umbrella, and they will ask you to sign a contract. ”

"Okay!" replied Smallley.

Henry nodded, then said goodbye to everyone, and returned to Buckingham Palace with Princess Ulysses.

The next morning, Smalley signed a contract with Gene Umbrella, and the news caused a sensation at Cambridge University not long after.

The fact that Smallley is going to resurrect the mammoth is shocking news at Cambridge University, but no one wants to invest in this "moon in the water" project, which is too risky, what if the money is wasted? But now, if there are investors willing to give money, they can naturally start the plan to resurrect the mammoth! The thought that the mammoth, a prehistoric beast, might appear alive in front of everyone, makes my blood boil.

This incident quickly attracted the attention of the global media, and even the investors behind it were dug up. As soon as the matter reached Henry, the fire burned even brighter. The more the media hype, the more mysterious it became, as if it wouldn't take long for the mammoth to come back to life......

A week later, Smalley and Lazarev assembled a 20-person expedition to find the carcass of the mammoth. On the same day, Henry put them on a ship bound for northern Siberia, Russia, and then Alaska, USA...... Only in the frozen soil can a relatively complete mammoth carcass be found.

Not long after, the ship made a "roar" and drifted away......
