Volume I: The New World and the Discovery of Manuscripts Volume 123: The Artistic Life

Manuscript:

In about a month, the creatures in the 5 ostrich eggs have begun to take shape, and you can see the little life inside through the eggshell, which looks no different from the crocodile and lizard embryos on the earth. We incubated two of them at a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and the other two at a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius to see if the creature would be like a crocodile, and different incubation temperatures would lead to different sexes.

After 42 days of incubation, two eggs at a temperature of 33 degrees broke their shells. Out of it came two cute little heads, about 20 centimeters in length, with a long snout, tail and limbs, but no wings, that looked like some kind of crocodile or lizard cubs. If it weren't for the fact that Napoléon Zhao had cloned it himself, everyone would have wondered if two crocodile eggs had been hatched in the first place. Zhao raised these two little ones as his own children, one named Kevin and the other Jennifer, named after the characters in an ancient film "Murderous Crocodile Pond". Both little ones are male, and everything is exactly the same as a crocodile except for the genetic test and the crocodile. Yuri suggests dissecting one to see the internal organs or something. Zhao disagreed, saying that the dissection was not very good when he was born, and he would talk about it when he was raised. Fortunately, Kevin and Jennifer are very well fed, unlike crocodiles on Earth who only eat meat, these two little things with alien blood can eat whatever you feed them. If you feed it raw meat, it will eat raw meat, and if you feed it carrots, it will eat carrots, except that Jennifer does not eat coriander, there is basically nothing to taboo.

Scientists don't know why the animal in the video that devoured the planet has a pair of wings, but it is a pair of crocodiles that have been cloned themselves. Zhou Haoyu thinks that maybe some kind of genetic material was lost during cloning, maybe it was a genetic mutation, or maybe this creature was an incomplete metamorphosis animal, and it would give birth to wings when it grew to a certain extent. Charles thinks maybe the dragon in the video isn't the same creature as the one you clone, maybe the two little crocodiles are crocodiles—"If an animal looks like a crocodile and walks like a crocodile, then it's a crocodile." Charles said.

In addition to the two small crocodiles, everyone is looking forward to the remaining three unhatched ones, as well as the creatures in the giant egg. However, after waiting for several days, the three eggs hatched at a temperature of 37 degrees still did not move, and when I went to test, they all smelled. It seems that this kind of egg is not suitable for such a high temperature, so everyone hurriedly threw away the three rotten eggs and went out to see the giant egg.

The Dome wasn't bad, but it didn't move. People speculated whether the 3D printed eggshell was too thick for the creatures inside to come out, or was the dome a failure at all? After more than two months of speculation, Yuri finally decided not to wait when he saw that Kevin and Jennifer had grown to more than a meter long. He brought a hammer with him, and planned to smash the giant egg to see what was inside, and if there was nothing, everyone could pack up and go back to Earth to study the two shrimp crocodiles. Just as he picked up the hammer and was about to knock it down, a small crack suddenly appeared in the eggshell. "The stuff inside moves, it's bursting!" Yuri shouted excitedly.

There is a saying on Earth: an egg, if you break it from the outside, becomes food, but breaking it from the inside is the birth of a new life. The creatures inside the Dome may also understand this, so they were able to break out of their shells before Yuri could turn it into food.

The entire crew on Mammoth witnessed this spectacular shell breaking. First a claw broke through the wall, followed by the head, which looked distinctly different from Kevin and Jennifer, except that it was hundreds of times larger, and the eyes were on the sides, not on the top of the head like Kevin and Jennifer. When the head came out, the thing put its claws on the wall of the egg and jumped out of its whole body!

Yuri suddenly noticed something remarkable and shouted: "Крылья, крылья! У него есть крылья! (Wings, it has wings!)

Everyone looked closely, and the creature that had just jumped out of the egg really had a pair of big wings on its back. It flapped its wings a few times and shook off the remaining eggs, as if it had just jumped out of a fairy tale book about dragons and knights.

Yuri excitedly ran towards the dragon, wanting to pet the handsome creature. The dragon may have just come to this world, and the position was not very comfortable, so he twisted his body and made a small jump. With just such a small step, the wind brought up blew Yuri more than ten meters away.

Yuri stood up rolling and crawling, ignoring the multiple soft tissue contusions all over his body, and excitedly shouted: "моя малышка, какая она сильная!" (My darling, look how powerful it is!)

The scientists of Mammoth were not as excited as Yuri, and they were more concerned about the question of where to keep such a large dragon? The dragon's egg was 1,000 meters high, and the dragon that jumped out of it was 2,000 meters long with a tail and a wingspan of 3,000 meters. Such a big thing can't be put in the house, and it's quite worrying to put it outside and be afraid that it will run around.

Yuri thought differently from the others, and in a matter of minutes he had given the dragon several names: Targaryen, Nefarian, Nesario, and Lazogall, each with a thunderous name. In the end, Yuri decided to name it Васи́лий Григо́рьевич За́йцев (Vasily Zaitsev). This is the name of Yuri's most admired sniper.

Vasily obviously didn't know what these tiny humans were thinking, and for it that had just come out of its shell, the most important thing it needed was food. It felt a little itchy in its throat, so it opened its mouth and let out its first cry - "Boom, boom, boom!"

It wasn't until he heard the immature dragon's roar that Yuri realized that although Vasily was huge, he was only a newborn child after all.

Yuri shouted, "It's hungry, feed it!" A cart of cattle was transported to Vasily, Yuri was a little embarrassed, and said: "Vasily, you just came, we don't know what you want to eat, you try this beef first to see if it suits your taste, if not, let's change it." Vasily seemed to understand Yuri's words, and he looked at the small animals in front of him, and suddenly stretched out his slender and forked tongue like an anteater licking ants, one by one, one at a time, and licked up 100 cows.

Although Mammoth's research was not voluntarily revealed to the media, the news that scientists had successfully cloned an alien dragon spread. After all, human beings have not cloned any life outside the earth before, and even cloning dinosaurs is only in film and television works. Wang Qianyuan thought that the popularity of the dragon meat dinner would rise with this wave of popularity, but he didn't expect that the price of the first auction of 3.26 million yuan would never be reached later, and it was sold for less than 1 million yuan in several auctions, and the most recent auction was only 50,000 yuan, which was purchased by an ore boss.

Although 50,000 yuan is not a small amount, Wang Qianyuan is absolutely satisfied before it is put aside. But since he earned 3 million, his appetite has grown, and he decided to make something fresh, the so-called wealth and danger. Since the alien dinosaur is so eye-catching, why don't you get one yourself? He found Liu Qilin and asked him if he could also use this dragon meat to make a dragon. Liu Qilin recently printed a bunch of "simulated dragon meat" with beef bone offal, and was worried that he couldn't sell it, and when he saw Wang Qianyuan coming, he complained to him and said: "Boss Wang, we have enough supply now, otherwise we should take the road of small profits and quick turnover, don't auction it, just sell the dragon meat as a normal dish, 18,000 a meal, how about taking more goods?"

Wang Qianyuan said: "Lao Liu, don't think about the dragon meat rice, I have a big business in mind." How about we clone a dragon?"

Liu Qilin said: "Why are you cloning that thing? We still can't sell so much dragon meat." ”

Wang Qianyuan said: "Isn't it for sale this time, I'm not engaged in tourism? Let's clone a dragon, build a theme park, and let customers feed the dragon just like you feed the cow, how happy do you think it should be?"

Liu Qilin said: "It's good, but technically, I don't know if I can do it." ”

Wang Qianyuan said: "It must be done, after all, you are also engaged in science! Believe in yourself, you are the best!"

Liu Qilin thought to himself that he was majoring in animal husbandry back then, and he didn't know if it was science. But he thought that since someone had already cloned it, he could try it himself. He nodded and said, "Okay, but not on the moon, the dragon is too big, and we don't have so many places here." ”

Wang Qianyuan said: "This is natural, when we go back, we will find a place to open a dragon farm and find a bigger planet." ”

When Wang Qianyuan returned to the office, he took the interstellar map and looked there, trying to find a planet about the size of Mammoth, but it couldn't be too biased, it would not be easy to develop in the future. Looking around, I found that there is a star called the White Bear in the M109 galaxy of the constellation Major, which is good enough, big enough and hard. Although it is a little farther away, 41 million light-years away from the earth, it is close to the Ursa Major tourist attraction, and there is no shortage of popularity.

And this white bear constellation has been developed, so you don't have to modify the atmosphere yourself. Wang Qianyuan estimated that the land price of the White Bear Star should not be expensive, and when he asked in the past, sure enough, this star was developed as part of the Ursa Major Scenic Area, but later I don't know why the scenic planning just avoided this star. So the developer ran away, and the development plan of the whole star was unfinished, and it was suitable for raising dragons.

Wang Qianyuan discussed with Liu Qilin, and sent Linghu Chong to the moon farm to watch the field for two days, and Liu Qilin was specially on the White Bear Star

Engage in cloning. Liu Qilin bought a bunch of books and came back to study, thinking that other technical problems were easy to solve. I just don't know what the oocyte used by the dragon cloned on Mammoth Star is. Whether it is 3D printed according to the egg cell composition of a crocodile, or the composition of a lizard, or the composition of a snake. Wang Qianyuan waved his hand and said: "Science comes from practice, don't you just print the egg cells of each animal? One snake, one crocodile, one lizard, we have a lot of dragon eggs here." It's better if you come up with a few different dragons. Liu Qilin muttered: "It's easy to get out, but the key is to raise it." He walked into the lab.

If the scientists of Mammoth heard Liu Qilin's complaints, they would definitely agree with him. Vasily, the cloned dragon, was not only huge, but also extremely powerful, and could tear mountains and lands apart with a wagging tail, and it took a lot of effort just to fix it. In the end, it took a 500-meter-diameter ADNR chain (aggregated diamond nanorod) and a 50-kilometer nano-pile to barely lock it.

......

Wang Xijia never thought that they would really copy a dragon. This winged dragon is present in many works of art, but I didn't expect it to be real. It seems that art does come from life.
