Wen Ming has been thinking about a question, that is, can dinosaurs really be 'resurrected' by him?

Different from the knowledge of the botanist of the protagonist in "The Martian", and also different from the technical knowledge of Apple in "Steve Jobs", the knowledge in "Jurassic Park" is actually black technology.

Although "The Martian" is a science fiction film, in the process of landing on Mars, all the technology is achievable. It can even be said that they are all technologies that already exist in the real world. Apple's technical knowledge is a product that has been marketed, and Wenming has also used Apple's related products in his previous life.

These are all achievable, even if Wen Ming doesn't have the fantastic knowledge from the movie, it can be realized in the real world.

But what about 'resurrecting' dinosaurs?

In "Jurassic Park", humans extracted active dinosaur blood from the body of a prehistoric mosquito in prehistoric amber, and then extracted dinosaur DNA, and then resurrected the dinosaur with genetic technology.

It sounds like it's not difficult to do, and it makes a lot of sense, after all, the current level of science and technology has reached the level of cloning sheep, IVF, and even cloning people. The gene bank of the earth's organisms also exists, and it collects the genes of almost all living things on the earth, including humans.

The purpose is that one day after the earth faces a devastating catastrophe, it can use the earth's biological gene pool to recreate the existing organisms on the earth.

But in fact, the dinosaurs died out in the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago, and it is impossible to obtain the animal genes of 65 million years ago by natural means. Moreover, the requirements of dinosaurs for the living environment are completely different from the existing living environment of humans, and even if they can be resurrected, it is impossible to survive.

"So, your idea is only suitable for filmmaking."

Cui Chuanming sat in the reception room of the office, looked at the two people opposite him and said unceremoniously: "Mr. Wen Ming, I have heard your story, and I also know that you have earned a lot of money now, and in the future, you will have more money." ”

"But we are people who are really engaged in academic research, not the kind of people who just find a project that they don't know what to do, pull research funds everywhere, and then take the research funds for themselves, and then use a research failure to dismiss investors, can you understand what I mean?"

Cui Chuanming is very polite, logically speaking, he is older than Wen Ming and the others, after all, he is already a researcher at Harvard University, and Wen Ming and David are only first-year students at Harvard University at this time.

Ke Wenming's fame is really big on the campus of Harvard University, and he has taken a leave of absence to start his own entrepreneurial road, and he has also achieved success.

"Is it really impossible?"

Wen Ming felt very dissatisfied with Cui Chuanming's polite attitude and unkind words, because if the 'resurrection' of the dinosaur was impossible to achieve, then it would be impossible for him to dream again, which would be equivalent to certain death.

Cui Chuanming looked at Wen Ming's expectant gaze, sighed and said: "Mr. Wen Ming, we are all Chinese people, and there is an old saying in Huaxia that a fellow villager sees a fellow countryman, and his eyes are full of tears. In a foreign country, I really don't want to use this incredible project to cheat you out of your fellowship. ”

"Some of the technical means you just mentioned are really impossible to achieve. Let's not talk about how we get dinosaur genes, as you just said, using the genes of existing organisms to make up for the defects of dinosaur genes, which seems to be a very reasonable technology, but in fact it is impossible to achieve. ”

When it comes to his major, Cui Chuan is obviously extremely serious.

"Genes themselves are very complex, and a complete DNA contains 3 billion genetic codes, which are the most basic building blocks of life. Do you know how long it takes to read through 3 billion genetic codes? Moreover, not all of these genetic codes are useful, and life will be selected for the best in the process of evolution. Did you know that 99% of our human DNA is the same as that of chimpanzees? ”

"With only a 1% difference, there are two different species, humans and chimpanzees, do you need me to tell you about the gap between humans and chimpanzees?"

"We have humans as references, and if we want to clone humans, it will take a long time to invest in research and funding, and the success rate is very low. But what about 'resurrecting' dinosaurs? We don't have live dinosaurs as a reference at all, and you tell me, how do you identify the genetic code in those DNA? How to avoid taking 1% difference to create two different species? ”

Although David studied medicine, he also belongs to the category of biology, and he can understand what Cui Chuanming said.

As for Wen Ming, after getting the knowledge of those experts in "Jurassic Park", he naturally knew that what Cui Chuanming said was very reasonable.

However, why does the knowledge and process gained in the movie really seem to be realized?

Wen Ming feels very strange now, he is like a person who buys lottery tickets, Cui Chuanming told him that winning the jackpot in a hundred consecutive draws is absolutely impossible, and everyone else also told him that it is impossible, even himself, he feels that it is impossible to achieve.

But in his dreams, he dreamed that he had won the jackpot in 100 consecutive draws, and even the numbers of each draw, he could remember it clearly.

What's more, he has already bought the jackpot number of the first draw in his dream, and he has won. So, will the next 99 numbers win the jackpot like in a dream?

The middle phase is acceptable and understandable, but the 100th issue in a row is a myth and a legend.

Wen Ming was silent, but Cui Chuanming did not stop, and continued: "Mr. Wen Ming, many people want to fulfill their dreams for a certain period after they have money, and your dream is to see resurrected dinosaurs, which I can understand very well......

Hearing the word dream, Wen Ming suddenly reacted: Is it time for me to think about whether black technology can be realized? No, I have no way back now, I have to resurrect the dinosaurs, and if I can't resurrect the dinosaurs, then I may die at any time in five years. The most important thing is that if I succeed in resurrecting the dinosaurs, it means that the black technology in the movie can also be realized in reality, and if the black technology can be realized, then, will I dream of having a black technology movie that treats cancer? At that time, will I be able to heal myself?

After thinking of this, Wen Ming suddenly interrupted Cui Chuanming's words.

"Mr. Cui Chuanming, I know that because you are a research assistant at Harvard University, you are reluctant to accept a risky research plan, or rather, a research plan that many people seem to be nonsense."

Wen Ming stood up, looked at Cui Chuanming and said, "Actually, I know very well that this dream of mine is unlikely to come true, but what if it can't be realized?" We don't do it because we don't think it's achievable? The progress of science requires fantasies, and we are fantasizing now, but one day after many years, can't our fantasies become science? ”

After taking out the business card that had just been printed not long ago from his pocket and placing it on the reception table, Wen Ming smiled at Cui Chuanming and said, "If you and your supervisor want to participate in this 'incredible' research project, then please contact me as soon as possible." ”

Cui Chuanming was stunned by Wen Ming's words, and watching Wen Ming and David leave the reception room, Cui Chuanming's heart was a little turbulent.

Yes, the progress of science requires fantasy, and fantasy in the present cannot really become science in the future?

Just like today's television, the Internet, airplanes, etc., for ancient people, fantasy is nothing more than that.

However, there is really no way to 'resurrect' the dinosaurs.

Cui Chuanming was silent for a while, then picked up his mobile phone and dialed his mentor's number.

As soon as the phone was connected, Cui Chuanming heard his mentor say: "Cui, it's incredible, do you know, they actually found a prehistoric mosquito, which has been preserved by amber for at least millions of years, and the specific time still needs to be tested." Feed? Choi, are you listening? ”
