Chapter 102: Dinosaur Eggs
In the plot of the movie "Jurassic Park", those crazy scientists used ostrich eggs to 'resurrect' the dinosaurs of the Jurassic era in modern times.
This is actually completely out of line with scientific logic, because just obtaining a dinosaur blood sample is already very difficult. In fact, even amber with its strong sealing cannot guarantee that the dinosaur blood carried by the mosquitoes in it will be able to survive 65 million years later.
Later, it was more difficult to 'resurrect' the dinosaur with a limited number of dinosaur blood samples than it was to get a dinosaur blood sample.
Modern cloning technology has been studied for I don't know how many years, and there are countless human blood samples, animal blood samples and other rich experimental materials, and it is impossible to clone another life without relying on its mother.
What's more, it's just a little bit of dinosaur blood samples? You know, apart from fossils, humans don't know anything about dinosaurs.
"I never thought we'd really get this far, even if we accepted your research funding."
Benjamin let out a sound of emotion that was almost like a moan, and he couldn't calm the excitement in his heart at this point, because they had just done the great work of changing the ostrich egg's genes.
In fact, not only Benjamin, but also Cui Chuanming, who was constantly observing the state of those ostrich eggs, and even Wen Ming, who really created all this, was also amazed by this.
Apple's success proves that the technology he dreamed of is real and can be replicated in another world. However, he had always been skeptical, because the project of 'resurrecting' the dinosaurs, and the various technologies used in it, were simply black technology.
In other words, black technology is imagined by human beings, and even if it can exist, it will take an unknown number of years of effort, and it is the effort of all mankind, just like the development of tool society to an industrialized society, and the development of industrialization has allowed human beings to enjoy countless incredible 'black technology'.
Can black technology really be used in the real world? Moreover, is it possible to achieve it in a short period of time without the full progress of other supporting technologies?
Of course!
Wen Ming is also paying attention to those ostrich eggs, and the first batch of 400 ostrich eggs he really asked for has all been re-set to the genetic template. Each of the 100 dinosaur gene templates that have been obtained through countless experiments has four live test subjects.
It's complicated to say, but the simple metaphor is like grafting a crop, allowing the fruit of one plant to grow on top of another.
"Ostrich eggs are the largest in the world, and in terms of volume, they are also the closest to dinosaur eggs."
At this time, Cui Chuanming was looking at the ostrich eggs that were placed alone in the thermostat with fascination eyes, each ostrich egg occupied an incubator, and the glass panel on the top of the incubator allowed them to clearly see the ostrich eggs inside. The instruments set up inside the incubator can clearly detect the status of those ostrich eggs.
"There are a lot of types of dinosaurs, and not all of them are huge."
Cui Chuanming's voice was also a little strange at this time, just like telling his heartfelt words to the people around him when he was drunk and drunk.
"The smallest hummingbird dinosaur was only about 10 centimeters in size, so their eggs would only be smaller than 10 centimeters. The largest dinosaur was a fragile dinosaur, likely to be more than 50 meters in size, and in fact, according to published research, the size of the eggs of this dinosaur was at least about 50 centimeters. ”
Hearing Cui Chuanming say the word dragon, Wen Ming was a little unaccustomed, based on the problem of translators in the early years, the word dragon was used in many places, such as the flying lizard in the West, also known as dragon.
However, he couldn't blame Cui Chuanming, because Cui Chuanming spoke English, which was a translation problem that he made up in his own brain.
"Cui, I don't think they deserve to be called dragons alone, so it's best to call them dinosaurs in the future."
Wen Ming's words were in Mandarin, and Benjamin next to him was a little dazed when he heard it, and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you talking about any secrets?" I strongly request, Cui Chuanming, that you translate what Wen Ming said just now. ”
When Cui Chuanming explained the difference between dragons and dragons, and even introduced Huaxia's dragons, Wen Ming's eyes looked at the four ostrich eggs without any special markings.
After he participated in this project, he directly used the work he was responsible for to 'calculate' the genetic template that could really breed dinosaurs.
Before him, Benjamin and Cui Chuanming led the team they formed, and they no longer knew how many gene templates were denied, and the remaining 100 were almost all simulated experiments that could not be completely denied.
And the genetic template he 'calculated' was among these 100.
But until now, no one but him knew that four of the 400 ostrich eggs were destined to hatch into real dinosaurs. Of course, the premise is that the black technology he got in his dream can really be fully realized, and the four ostrich eggs did not change in the process of hatching.
The reason why he didn't set the markup separately was also because he didn't want to explain too much and expose too much.
"Ostrich eggs hatch for 42 days, but we don't know how long they incubate after they are genetically altered, so we need someone to stay here all the time."
Hearing Wen Ming's words, Benjamin and Cui Chuanming said at the same time: "We will guard this place 24 hours a day." ”
Wen Ming coughed dryly and said, "I mean, you two have been studying for a long time, and you have been studying for more than 3 months before I really participated. Moreover, the last time we moved the institute, you didn't choose to rest......"
Benjamin directly interrupted Wen Ming's words and said, "I understand what you mean, believe me, I don't need to rest." ”
Cui Chuanming also raised his hand and said, "I don't need to rest either." ”
Wen Ming shrugged his shoulders, he just wanted to find an excuse to separate the two of them, and then simplify the experimental steps, and only make a real hatching and research record for the four ostrich eggs.
Since they don't want to rest, it's better to stay. Anyway, Wen Ming didn't have anything to lose, and most of the ostrich eggs that didn't need to be studied and experimented with would be handed over to Benjamin and Cui Chuanming.
"I'm wondering, shouldn't we call them ostrich eggs from now on?"
Wen Ming proposed, "We should officially call them dinosaur eggs!" ”
Both Benjamin and Cui Chuanming agree that it is no longer possible for these ostrich eggs to hatch when the genes have been altered.
Either die, or, hatch dinosaurs.
