Chapter 107: Not Enterprising
With three dinosaur eggs left, hatching becomes even more important.
Of course, it was also important before, and there were no special means added after that, and this importance was only expressed in the hearts of everyone in the institute.
"Even if we don't succeed this time, we will succeed next time."
Benjamin studied the dinosaur that had not yet had time to reveal itself to the world and had become a corpse, and then made a summary that the entire institute welcomed and encouraged.
In fact, this unborn dinosaur is not the first one to appear in the institute.
Among the other 396 dinosaur eggs, a variety of strangely shaped 'dinosaurs' were also bred, some resembled ostriches, some did not look like anything, but there were many dinosaurs.
In fact, the matter of dinosaurs is a false proposition. Because in this world, no one has ever seen real dinosaurs, and the dinosaurs in film and television dramas are all supplemented by people according to the size of dinosaur fossils.
But the research of Benjamin and others allowed them to have a high probability of determining that those strangely shaped dinosaur corpses were similar to dinosaur corpses.
"Because we didn't have live dinosaurs for us to study before, and now, although all we have are dinosaur corpses, we can't even call them dinosaur corpses. However, they were able to provide us with active research material. ”
Benjamin was very excited when he said this, because it was already a big leap in the research process, a very, very big leap.
Wen Ming smiled and said nothing, for Benjamin and others, although they still attached great importance to the three dinosaur eggs, deep down in their hearts, they had already pronounced the death sentence of the three dinosaur eggs. None of them believed that the three dinosaur eggs could hatch real dinosaurs.
And in this world, only Wen Ming knows that those three dinosaur eggs have passed the most dangerous period. Another dinosaur egg, using the same genetic template, failed to hatch a few hours ago, and that failure was the last catastrophe faced by these dinosaur eggs.
According to the knowledge gained in "Jurassic Park", as long as there is no problem with the dinosaur eggs on the 41st day, then, after a week, they will be able to successfully hatch from the dinosaur eggs.
Three dinosaurs?
Wen Ming's heart was full of anticipation.
After this scientific research meeting, Wen Ming took Sith and others to visit this Jurassic Island.
The entire island is only 26 square kilometers in size, and the buildings on it, in addition to the pier and a helipad, are the villas with sea views and the research institute where Wen Ming lived for more than a month.
"In addition to this base for research, we also have a tour area."
Wen Ming took Sith and others to the tourist area, which was still under construction, and the construction of this tourist area had already begun when Wen Ming and others hatched the first dinosaur-like corpse from the dinosaur egg.
"The entire tour area, the size of 10 full-fledged football fields, is isolated by a high-strength electrified fence. In addition to the area used for dinosaurs, there is also an observation deck. ”
At this time, more than half of the construction progress has passed, the isolation grid has been installed, and the construction crew is building a viewing platform up to 15 meters high.
James asked with some excitement, "Did you really decide to make this island a park?" A dinosaur-themed tourist park? ”
Wen Ming replied with a smile: "It's not a dinosaur theme in the traditional sense, but a real dinosaur park, which I call Jurassic Park." ”
Cage asked, "Didn't the dinosaurs die in the Cretaceous period?" Why Jurassic Park? ”
Wen Ming replied: "The last dinosaurs became extinct in the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago, but ended in the Jurassic era 145.5 million years ago, which was the most prosperous era of dinosaurs, ruling the earth for nearly 150 million years from the day they were born, including the middle and late Jurassic periods. ”
David's questions were in a different direction than the others, focusing on the high-intensity protective grids.
"Can these things really trap dinosaurs? Moreover, although there are multiple layers of protection around your observation deck, can it really stop dinosaurs from entering? With the size of a dinosaur, wouldn't such a high observation deck be destroyed by them after a few hits? ”
Wen Ming smiled: "This shows that you don't know much about dinosaurs, not all dinosaurs are highly aggressive, and the most aggressive dinosaurs are actually not too big." In film and television dramas, those tall dinosaurs actually have elements of artistic exaggeration, such as Tyrannosaurus rex, whose adult body size is actually about 11.5 meters to 14.7 meters, and its weight is about 7.6 tons. ”
"And our modern technology is actually very powerful, it seems that the observation deck is built using ordinary materials, but in fact it is a fortress built according to the military grade. A Tyrannosaurus rex weighing 14.7 meters and weighing 8 tons has absolutely no way to cause damage to the observation deck with its own body. ”
Wen Ming paused for a moment and said: "Moreover, the growth cycle of dinosaurs is still uncertain, and I don't know how long it will take to grow to maturity." In the process, we can change the park's settings at any time. On top of that, we don't know what kind of dinosaurs we can breed evenly, and how long it will take for other types of dinosaurs to be bred. ”
In the "Jurassic Park" movie, how did a little bit of dinosaur blood breed so many dinosaurs? In addition to the genetic similarity of dinosaurs, many genes of modern animals have also been added by those researchers.
All animals evolved from a single cell, and some animals that live in modern times also have the genes needed by dinosaurs.
Of course, these are all black technologies, and if you study them normally, you really don't know how long it will take to succeed. But Wen Ming had already obtained those black technologies, and he knew very well in his heart how long it would take him to be able to cultivate a powerful Tyrannosaurus rex.
But he can't just say it.
At the end of the visit, everyone returned to the seaview villa that now belongs to Wenming.
On a deck chair by the pool, Sith began to tell the story of the purpose of his trip.
"I know the significance of this research in the history of mankind, and I know that if you succeed, you will definitely win the Nobel Prize."
"But how much money can be earned from this project?" How long do I need to invest? ”
Although Cage is Wen Ming's roommate, he has been learning from the Sith for a while, and after receiving the Sith's eyes, he coughed dryly and said: "Wen Ming, I just helped you make a budget, even if you open the first real dinosaur park ever, but just by charging tickets and selling peripherals, it is already very good to earn 1 billion US dollars a year, which also requires a lot of operating costs." ”
"And now, our company has earned more than $3 billion in net profits in three months, and the total revenue has exceeded $10 billion."
In contrast to the two, there is a complete trade-off between fish and bear's paw.
James also said: "But our company can't rely on the iPhone alone, can you start researching and putting into production other cross-era products you mentioned before?" ”
Wen Ming then understood what Sith and others meant, when a company has not yet established a truly valuable brand, it is natural to use all its strength.
But in fact, he is not short of money, and the purpose of his money is to invest in the 'resurrection' dinosaur project to save his own life.
Besides, how much is the difference between the life of a billionaire and the life of a billionaire with $30 billion?
A person's life is so long, whether it is 3 billion US dollars or 30 billion US dollars, no matter how luxurious the life is, it is impossible to spend it all. Of course, the premise is that if you don't invest indiscriminately, you can't gamble or get involved in drugs.
"Okay, I'll start researching this, you guys play here for a few days, I'll prepare a list, and you guys will send me everything I need."
Sith smiled helplessly and said, "You still don't want to leave this island?" ”
