Chapter Thirty-Six: Higher! Faster! More ferocious!

"This bit is a class II genetic modification done the day before yesterday, which involves intelligence, endurance, muscle strength, and all-round bone strengthening. The amount of food has increased, and he can eat more than 30 kilograms of beef every day, and his appearance changes almost every day, especially the physical growth is incredible, which has far exceeded the limit of the ordinary pitbull. We weigh it every day, 28 kg the day before yesterday, 53.5 kg yesterday and 86 kg this morning. Gilbert looked at the caged bit and said proudly. Its name is Mendel, and it is the smartest of the subjects, and I suspect it can roughly understand what we are saying. ”
Greg Mendel, a 19th-century Austrian geneticist. Ordering a lab dog in the name of a scientist is probably Gilbert's alternative way of complimenting...... It can be seen that he cherishes this bit.
Weighing more than eighty kilograms, what a concept! Itziquil kept gesturing Mendel's figure with his hand, and shook his head again and again in surprise: "Such a big bit, isn't even a lion an opponent." ”
"It's far more ferocious than you might think, but we haven't had time to test it all yet." Gilbert was clearly very proud.
"It's smart indeed." Li Jie smiled, the clever little guy had been staring at Gus since he and the others appeared, apparently aware of his hidden danger. If it leaks a little bit of breath, it will probably be able to sense the pressure acutely.
"Keep going, Boss." Gilbert Gordon gestured to them. "Our first genetically modified test subject is just around the corner."
The cage he said was located in the innermost part, and when he walked over, Izakir still remembered the big bit, and seemed to want to take a few more looks, but after seeing the contents of the cage in front of him, he immediately left the previous bit dog behind, and his first reaction was that he must be dreaming.
“Jesus_christ! What the is this! ”
What appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a white beast that was more than two meters tall and nearly four meters long, and when you stood in front of it, you would find that the giant dog was no longer enough to describe this big thing. This huge beast has fine and short hair, but it has an elegant body and an extremely toned muscular shape, but due to its large size, the originally spacious isolation cage seems a little cramped and looks a bit nondescript.
"Is this a dog or an elephant!" The group, including Izaki Kiel and Kit, gasped and rubbed their eyes desperately as if they had seen a hell. If the previous big bit was strange, but it was barely within the acceptable range, the creature in front of him was comparable to the size of a giant elephant and no longer knew if it could be considered a dog.
"It's not scientific! How does it support the weight of its body?! Although he has been paying attention to the situation in the laboratory under the corona, he is mainly in the development of the human body's potential and the treatment of various diseases, and he did not expect to see such a scene in Kobist 1 today, which simply subverts his consistent perception of the world.
"Quite the opposite." Li Jie gently patted him on the shoulder, signaling the subordinate to control his emotions. "This is science, the self-evolution that creates miracles and transcends nature!"
Needless to say, the environment in which an organism lives has a huge impact on the shaping of its appearance and internal structure. On a planet that is very large and has a gravitational pull tens or even hundreds of times that of the Earth, the size of living things will undoubtedly be smaller, and too large a volume will cause them to be unable to bear their own weight and crush themselves. And it's hard to have flying creatures on this planet, because it's almost impossible to evolve wings that are strong enough and large enough to generate massive lift to help them overcome the massive gravitational pull on this planet.
This is also why, the larger the animals on the planet, the more bulky they tend to be, they need thick lower limbs and bones to support the weight of a terrifying number - for example, the African elephant, as the largest mammal on land, is close to five meters tall, can reach ** meters in length, and may weigh up to ten tons!
The behemoths in the deep sea are in a different situation, and with the help of the buoyancy of the sea, they are relatively easy to resist the earth's gravity. Mature blue whales can grow from head to tail up to 23 to 33 meters, which is equivalent to a building 8 to 11 stories tall. Correspondingly, in order to combat the pressure of the sea, it has a wide and flat tail and a wide head, which can stand an entire rugby team (about 50 people) on its tongue, and weighs almost 200 tons!
This is the wonder of life, which is always able to find a balance with nature in the process of continuous evolution. And now, the scene that appeared in front of Iziquir's eyes had obviously changed the course of life evolution, and the key to controlling life was grasped in the hands of humans. It was precisely knowing this that he was extremely shocked and difficult to accept.
After hearing Li Jie's reminder and the concise language introduction of Gilbert's research team, this guy finally didn't lose his temper so much, and began to look at the giant beast in front of him with excitement and curiosity. If you look closely with an objective attitude, you can find that in addition to the huge appearance, it seems to be no essential difference from ordinary dogs, and it is simply an enlarged version of a certain dog breed.
"It's a ...... Dogo Argentina? Itziquil observed for a long time, and finally asked with some uncertainty, and after calming down, he could see that the giant dog in front of him was a little familiar.
"Yes, it's basil. A professionally trained Dogo Argentino, an extremely excellent hunting dog. Muscular, with considerable explosiveness and attack. Gilbert nodded slightly. Heinrich Bahrer, winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physics, is still alive and well, and if he knows that his name was used to name such a giant beast, he does not know whether he will feel sad or honored......
"Will it be able to adapt to its current size? Will it become more clumsy and slow? The super-large Dugao in front of him always stood quietly in the corner of the wall and looked at everyone, like a proud general, looking very calm. Such a gesture also made Itziquil even more curious and itchy.
"There was hardly any adaptation time, nothing to show of being caught off. Just as birds are born to fly, every fish is a strong swimmer. Gilbert said proudly. Don't be deceived by Basil's quiet appearance, he is a real powerhouse. Its strength and agility far surpass that of any beast known today, and we couldn't even find a suitable opponent to test its exact stats. ”
