Chapter 334: Behavioral Testing
Qin Fangfang sneered, "The test results haven't come out yet." However, the eggs that hatched this chick were not ordinarily large. ”
As he spoke, he showed the eggshell that Li Xi had just taken out to Professor He.
"It's so big!" Professor He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the eggshell, and said in disbelief: "This is really an egg? ”
In fact, there is no need to answer this question at all, and the purpose of Professor He's inquiry is just to confirm the doubts in his heart, and he doesn't think that anyone will deceive himself because of an egg. But when Qin Fangfang heard this, she couldn't help but nod.
Professor He held the eggshell in his hand, looked at it over and over for a while, and then asked: "The old hen that lays eggs, is the egg that lays every time it is so big, or is it only once, and lays such a big egg?"
This question is similar to what Qin Fangfang asked before, but fortunately, Qin Fangfang already knew the answer, so he directly asked Li Xi to answer, "It's so big every time." ”
When Professor He heard this, he became even more interested, "What about the old hen? What about the chicken that lays eggs?"
Qin Fangfang couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this, but looking at her expression, she seemed to have known that Professor He would ask this.
Li Xi said: "The chicken that laid the eggs is not there. ”
"Oh!" Professor He let out an 'oh', his expression indescribably disappointed.
Qin Fangfang hurriedly added, "Teacher He, this chick who hatched this egg has been brought over, why don't you help take a look, what's so special about this chick?"
"It's fine. Professor He hesitated for a moment, then agreed, and looked very interested in his expression. His eyes quickly fell on the little chicken, but he asked Qin Fangfang, "Have you done anything to this little chicken?"
Qin Fangfang hurriedly said: "I just drew some blood, and I saw through it, but I didn't see anything special." I'm going to get a blood sample tested later. ”
"It's not enough to just take a blood sample for testing, is there any difference in this chick?" This is asking Li Xi, this Professor He said and fell on Li Xi.
Li Xi shook his head, "I didn't see it." ”
In fact, if he could really see it, he wouldn't have come to this place.
"Oh!" Professor He was obviously a little disappointed, if this was the case, it would be much more troublesome to judge what was so special about this little chicken.
"So be it. He pondered for a moment, but still had a new plan, "I'll do a behavior test on this chick." ”
Behavior test, Li Xi didn't understand what it meant for a while, but fortunately, Professor He's behavior soon gave him a new understanding of the word.
This Professor He obviously belongs to the kind of scholar who is dedicated to research, and as soon as he got busy, he immediately forgot about Li Xi's existence, and simply ignored anyone, took the chicken, and started the test.
Li Xi couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Bai Wenyu, who nodded and smiled at him.
Qin Fangfang tacitly helped Professor He prepare experimental tools, but saw that Professor He put some chicken food in a glass box with a lid. Then the lid of this glass box was closed, and on top of this glass box, there is a button, this button, and you only need to press it lightly to pop the lid open.
Professor Ho then placed the small one in a large glass cover along with the glass box, so that the chick could not get out of the glass cover.
And inside the glass cover, the chick, through the transparent glass of the glass box, saw the chicken food inside at a glance. The hungry chicks cooed at the glass box, and stretched out their extremely tender chicken pecks at the glass on top of the glass box and pecked lightly a few times.
But with such a peck, naturally I couldn't eat the chicken food inside, and the chick was anxious to circle around the glass box, and because it was covered by the big glass cover, the chick couldn't get out, so it could only wander around the glass box.
While wandering around, this chick still pecked at the glass outside the glass box, but to no avail, this chick never ate the chicken food inside.
After a long time, the chick got tired and stopped walking around and stopped on the side of the glass box, but his eyes were still fixed on the chicken food inside the box.
Professor He took advantage of this time and suddenly put a glass rod into it.
The chick sensed the movement and quickly moved his gaze to the glass rod, staring at the moving glass rod. Then, Professor He gently tapped the glass rod against the button on the top of the box, and the lid on the glass box was immediately popped open.
At the same time as the lid was flicked open, the hungry chick couldn't help but be startled, fluttered the meat wings that had just grown their appearance, and took a few steps back.
But the chick only took a few steps back before realizing that there was no danger, and then slowly approached the glass box.
At this time, the chicks, because the lid on the top of the glass box has popped open, can easily eat the chicken food inside.
But Professor He obviously didn't intend to let the chick eat it all the time, and only let the chick eat two bites, then pushed the chick away and covered the glass box again.
But the hungry chick who had just eaten the chicken food, because he had eaten two mouthfuls of chicken food, was still worried about the taste of the chicken food in the box, and as soon as Professor He's hand was taken out, he immediately returned to the glass box, and the chick wanted to peck at the chicken food in the glass box, but because the lid above the glass box had been closed, the chick naturally couldn't eat any food. And the tender chicken pecked, and when it pecked at the chicken food in the glass box, it suddenly pecked on the lid of the glass box.
The chick seemed stunned, staring sideways at the glass box.
Obviously, in the eyes of outsiders, this chick obviously doesn't understand what happened, at least he doesn't understand why the chicken food that he was able to eat just now suddenly can't be eaten at this time.
When Li Xi saw this, he couldn't help but be curious, Professor He's test method, in his opinion, was really novel. He really hadn't seen anyone test an animal in such a way.
couldn't help but glance at Bai Wenyu, Bai Wenyu looked very attentively, and seemed to be attracted by the experiment in front of him.
Then I looked at Professor He, and then looked at Qin Fangfang, these two people stared straight at the chicken in the glass box. And Qin Fangfang, even holding a DV, is filming this experiment.
He didn't know that for such an experiment, in the research institute in front of him, every experiment would have a detailed experimental record. Shooting with DV is precisely the best way to record.
When Li Xi saw this, he couldn't help but look at the little chicken in the glass box.
The little chick, after staring at the glass box for a while, seemed to be completely confused about what was going on, but when he had just eaten the chicken food in the glass box, he was unwilling to walk around the glass box and continued to walk.
Not only walking, this chick, even walking around the glass box at the same time, from time to time at the top of the glass box, peck, the glass lid on the glass box, so that the chicken, may not be sure whether it can directly eat the chicken food inside, so that it has to use the small mouth to peck the glass lid to determine.
But after going around more than a circle, the chick suddenly stopped.
"Huh!" Professor He couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw this.
When Li Xi heard this voice, he couldn't help but look at the other party's face, and the other party's expression was obviously a little surprised.
"What?" Li Xi couldn't help but ask.
Professor He seemed to answer, some seemed to mumble to himself, in short, he never looked back at Li Xi, and kept staring at the chicken in the glass box, "This chick is a bit special, if you change to other chicks, you have to go around at least a few times to be sure that you can't eat the chicken food inside, but it, you see, it only went around more than once, and when it found that it was walking repeatedly, it was sure that he could no longer eat the chicken food inside, this chick was obviously much smarter than the average chick." ”
"Oh!" Li Xi's heart moved, but on the surface he was silent.
This chick is much smarter than the average chick. That's for sure, but is this kind of cleverness because this chick is so smart as soon as it hatches, or is it because I gave it a smart and clever fruit yesterday?
Li Xi thinks that it is very likely that both reasons exist.
The chick, however, did not stop completely, but rather stopped pecking at the glass lid on the top of the glass box. When Li Xi looked at the chick again, the chick had already walked around the glass box again.
The chick didn't walk around for long, and when it got to that button, it suddenly stopped.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
This time, there were two consecutive shocks, one from Professor He and one from Qin Fangfang.
"Wouldn't it?" Professor He looked surprised, but Qin Fangfang couldn't help but say this again after being surprised.
When Li Xi heard this, he saw the expressions on the faces of the two of them, and for a moment, he couldn't help but think of a possibility, could it?
"Let's take a look at it, maybe it's a coincidence?" Professor He whispered, but this sentence was obviously said to Qin Fangfang, and while saying this, he didn't even look back and look back. Then he suddenly remembered something and asked Qin Fangfang, "Did you record it?"
The last question sounds a little anxious. It's just that Professor He's eyes were still fixed on the chick and didn't look back. At this time, he didn't even ignore Qin Fangfang, but also Li Xi and Bai Wenyu.
The whole person's attention is completely on that little chick.
Qin Fangfang's tone was obviously a little nervous, "It's recorded, it's still being recorded." ”
Professor He subconsciously said, "Keep recording, don't stop." ”
Li Xi and Bai Wenyu glanced at each other, and the reaction of the two of them made the two of them a little nervous. Of course, Li Xi was better, the reason why he was nervous was mainly because he was infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and Bai Wenyu was nervous and wanted to know the result.
Continue to look at the chicks in the box.
The little chick, after stopping next to the button, tilted his head sideways and exchanged his eyes to look at the button.
After looking at it for a while, he suddenly walked around the button a few times.
But he only walked around the button for half a circle, and the chick suddenly stretched out the chicken peck, gently pecked at the button, and pecked a few times.
The button was pecked, and the glass lid on the glass box quickly popped open.
"Ahh
"Ahh
Professor He and Qin Fangfang exclaimed at the same time, obviously, neither of them expected that this little chick would open this glass box so easily.
The chick opened the glass box, quickly ran to the glass box, and began to peck at the chicken inside.
But Professor Ho just glanced at it and picked up the glass box containing the chicken food.
The mouth exclaimed, "Incredible! Incredible!"
Li Xi couldn't help but ask, "What?"
Professor He came back to his senses and said: "This chick is too smart, he used to do experiments, similar experiments, if you use other chicks, there are no dozens or hundreds of times, those chicks, it is impossible to form a condition to launch and open the box." This chick turned out to be open after only one experiment. This chick is really unexpectedly smart. ”
"Teacher He, could it be because of a coincidence?" Qin Fangfang couldn't help but ask.
"It's possible. Professor He said: "However, it is unlikely that it will be a coincidence, at least for now, in my opinion, this chick should really be smart." However, whether it is really smart or because of coincidence, you will know after a few more attempts. ”
"Hmm! you bring another box. ”
"Okay. Qin Fangfang agreed, and went to get a box again.
This time, it's the same glass box, and the chicken food is placed inside the same glass box, and it's covered with a glass lid that allows you to see what's inside.
It's just that, unlike the previous glass box, this glass box opens in a different way.
Last time, it was a press button, and the glass box would automatically pop open, but this time, the top of the glass box was made of a rope, and a pull ring was tied to the rope, and only when the pull ring was pulled down, the lid on the glass box would pop open.
Put the glass box, still in the big glass cover, with the chick.
The little chicken, seeing the glass cover inside the glass box, obviously thought of the glass box just now, so he immediately circled around the glass box.
Obviously, from the movements of this chick, it can be seen that this chick actually wants to find the same button from this glass box as the one just now.
But since the glass box has been replaced, after the chick has gone around in a circle, it is natural that it can't find the location of the button.
After the chick couldn't find the button and stopped, Professor He picked up the glass rod again, put it into the large glass cover, and put it in. (To be continued.) )
