Chapter 111: Worry
"This is a velociraptor How does it look ......"
The Sith, who hurried to Jurassic Island, looked at the three velociraptors who were having fun, and couldn't find any words to describe them.
Wen Ming smiled on the side: "Don't you think it's not fast at all, not fierce at all?" ”
Only three days have passed since the birth of the dinosaur, and the newborn velociraptor does not look like a dinosaur even from the outside. It feels like a panda was just born, and who would have thought that thing would grow into a giant panda?
(ps: Bosses who haven't seen it can search for panda pictures, it's really ...... )
Sith nodded and said, "I do feel this way, how can you be sure that they are dinosaurs and velociraptors?" After all, we've never been exposed to dinosaurs before. ”
Cui Chuanming, who was next to him, enthusiastically explained: "This is based on our analysis of their genetic templates and experimental data from growth simulations. We were able to determine not only that they were velociraptors, but also the detailed subjects to which they belonged. ”
Sith asked curiously, "Growth simulation?" In other words, do you know when they will be able to grow up? ”
"If our simulations are accurate, we can really know when they will be able to grow," Cui said. ”
"Dinosaurs generally grew faster, and what has been confirmed in the current research on dinosaurs is the lifespan of Tyrannosaurus rex. The oldest of the Tyrannosaurus rex found in the world is only 28 years old, but it has reached a length of 14.7 meters, a height of 6 meters, and a weight of about 14 tons. In fact, the Tyrannosaurus rex had already stopped growing at the age of 19. ”
"It is inferred that Tyrannosaurus rex had a very high growth rate and were able to grow at least 2 kilograms of meat per day during the growing season, that is, they only need 500 days to grow to more than a ton of weight."
"The length of the velociraptor is only about 2 meters at most, the hip height is only 0.5 meters, and the weight of the adult body is about 15 kilograms, even if their growth rate is lower than that of a huge dinosaur like the Tyrannosaurus rex, it will take up to 3 months to grow to an adult body."
The Sith asked in disbelief: "You mean, a velociraptor with a length of about 2 meters weighs only 15 kilograms?" ”
This question is indeed a bit incredible, because dinosaurs have always been the main adjective for human beings, and if they only weigh 15 kilograms, then what is the value of human beings?
(ps: What a certain subject said above, my first reaction was also not to believe it...... )
Wen Ming looked at the three velociraptors who were eating, and took over the conversation and explained: "There is a speculation about velocrator that has never been confirmed, but from our current research, that guess can actually be confirmed. ”
"In the September 2007 issue of Science, someone published a paper about the discovery of a velociraptor fossil on a velociraptor fossil, and the namine, a body part that generally grows on the bones of birds, is used to fix the feathers. That said, there is a good chance that the velociraptor was a flightless bird. ”
"It also validates another conjecture about velociraptors, which is that they were incredibly fast and able to travel at high speeds in complex environments that they would not be able to maintain if they were too heavy."
Sith looked carefully at the three palm-sized velociraptors, and asked stunnedly, "Do they still grow feathers?" Shouldn't dinosaurs all have scales? ”
Wen Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, follow you to popularize science, I don't need to do anything today." Don't forget your mission this time, hurry up and pack up and go back. ”
Sith looked at the three velociraptors with some nostalgia, and said regretfully: "Fortunately, I am the only one who came this time, otherwise, James and they would definitely stay on this island and are unwilling to leave." ”
The purpose of his visit this time, of course, was not to visit the dinosaurs that had not yet grown up, but to take away the experimental model of IAPD and the relevant parameter information. If it weren't for the fact that the traffic was indeed a little inconvenient, the Sith would have come as early as the first day of notification.
After coming out of the observation room, the Sith saw Teresa Roy waiting outside, compared to the Sith, he naturally rushed to Jurassic Island as soon as possible, just when the dinosaur was born, he put down all the things at hand, took a private jet to the nearest airport, and then transferred to the helicopter to Jurassic Island.
This speed represents how many years of accumulation Teresa Roy has, and an upstart like Wen Ming, even if he has money, can't do it in the shortest time.
After a few polite words, Sith followed Wen Ming's assistant to get the iPad and related data. Wen Ming had arranged for Teresa Roy's private helicopter to send the Sith back to land.
"Is there really no press conference?"
Watching the Sith leave, Teresa Roy didn't know that Apple was going to make a lot of money again, so she just thought it was the Sith who came to see the living dinosaurs.
Wen Ming smiled and asked, "Why do you want to hold a press conference?" ”
Teresa Roy motioned for Wen Ming to follow him, and the destination was the recreation area of the institute.
"Your successful 'resurrection' of dinosaurs is something that all mankind will pay attention to, do you know how much honor you can get, how high your popularity can be?"
Teresa Roy's emotions are actually not too excited, the velociraptor he has been watching for two days, and the novelty has completely passed. Moreover, the ownership of the research results of the dinosaur's 'resurrection' has nothing to do with him.
The first bet they made before was that if Wen Ming's capital chain was broken, then all the research results of the 'resurrection' dinosaur would belong to him.
But is it possible that Wenming will break the capital chain now?
So, just now he used the prefix 'you' to talk about 'resurrecting' dinosaurs.
Wen Ming found a place to sit down in the rest area, motioned for the staff to bring some drinks, and said, "It is precisely because it will become a matter of world attention, so I have decided not to disclose this matter for the time being." ”
Teresa Roy laughed, "Are you scared?" ”
But any honor will always bring a lot of trouble, let alone such a thing as 'resurrecting' a dinosaur?
Wen Ming nodded and said, "I'm really a little scared, because I really don't know if governments will be tempted by our research." Will the U.S. government make us public the method of 'resurrecting' dinosaurs for some reason, you know, dinosaurs have very powerful attack power even in modern society. ”
This concern actually comes from the movie "Jurassic Park", in which the U.S. government can definitely be counted as one of the objects of peeping at dinosaurs in addition to those interest groups.
Of course, in any movie, as long as there is a technology that can be used in warfare, the U.S. government will not choose to ignore it.
Teresa Roy laughed and said, "You really think too highly of dinosaurs, if you only have velociraptors, let alone the army, even my security personnel can easily kill them, what's the use of this technology?" ”
Wen Ming was silent for a while, and then said, "I'm sorry, we don't just have velociraptors. ”
Teresa Roy's laughter stopped abruptly, and then she looked at Wen Ming and waited for an explanation.
Wen Ming looked into Teresa Roy's eyes and said, "Within half a year, we will be able to 'resurrect' the Tyrannosaurus Rex." In other words, given enough time, we will be able to 'resurrect' all the dinosaurs that humans have discovered. ”
