Chapter 106: Dinosaur Corpses?
"Aren't you afraid that we'll transfer all the money away?"
When Sith said this, he was very angry, because no boss had ever left his company for more than two months, and it was still in a period of rapid development.
Wen Ming was also a little embarrassed, because he was indeed a little too handy, and he had never left the institute since he joined the 'resurrection' dinosaur project. Especially after the institute moved to Jurassic Island, he didn't even return to the mainland for more than a month and a half.
"The company's development shouldn't encounter any problems at the moment, right?"
However, Wen Ming felt the slightest guilt, because the monthly salary has been opened, and Apple's current fist product, iPhone, does not need to be updated, and can continue to produce for nearly a year, and there is no need to worry about sales.
Since everything is going well, it doesn't really matter if the boss is not in the company.
"Besides, my current project has entered the most critical period, and there is absolutely no way I can leave here."
While speaking, the Sith and the others, who had just arrived on Jurassic Island, were brought into the research institute on the island by Wen Ming.
After sterilization and a change of sterile gown, the Sith and his party entered the most important place in the research institute: the dinosaur egg hatchery base.
When James saw the four dinosaur eggs that were being watched by more than a dozen researchers, he couldn't help but ask, "Why do I think this...... Dinosaur eggs? Sound familiar? ”
Cage and Davy, who were next to them, also approached the incubator and studied the dinosaur eggs inside through the glass panel.
"Why do I feel ......," David said after a moment's hesitation, "this thing looks like an ostrich egg?" ”
Although David is a Harvard student majoring in medicine, he also has a little knowledge of biology, which can be seen from his ability to know Cui Chuanming.
After Wen Ming laughed a few times, he said, "Yes, these eggs were indeed ostrich eggs seven weeks ago. ”
After saying this, Wen Ming motioned for a researcher to explain, and he himself began to check the relevant data of the four dinosaur eggs, which he had to do almost every three hours.
The researcher walked to the side of the incubator and began to explain: "Our method of 'resurrecting' dinosaurs is similar to the method of grafting plants, using genetic technology to give dinosaur genetic templates to ostrich eggs, so now you are not seeing ostrich eggs, but dinosaur eggs. ”
The Sith and the others looked at each other, sounding like such a simple method, why had no one ever engaged in related research before?
The researcher continued: "The reason we got the dinosaur genetic template was a piece of prehistoric amber that successfully preserved a mosquito that had sucked the blood of a dinosaur into modern times. Of course, there are still a lot of difficulties that cannot be solved, just for the dinosaur eggs used in live experiments, we used 400 in the first batch, but so far, there are only 4 left. ”
400 to 4, that's a 1% success rate.
David looked at one of the dinosaur eggs in the incubator, coughed dryly, and said, "I think you may only have 3 left." ”
Hearing this, the researcher quickly put his head on the incubator, noticing that the measuring instrument data on the incubator was abnormal.
Not to mention the researcher's panicked preparation for rescue measures, Wen Ming, who was querying the data records on the side, also noticed this data fluctuation, and sighed helplessly.
"yes, we only have three left."
Wen Ming didn't have the slightest intention of rescuing, because he knew that this kind of rescue was doomed to failure, and if the dinosaur had already hatched, then he could still find a way to treat it. But when the other party is an egg, how to treat it?
Sith and the others noticed that Wen Ming was in a bad mood, and did not mention that he would not return to the company, but asked about the progress of the 'resurrection' of the dinosaur.
Wen Ming said: "The incubation time of ostrich eggs is about 42 days, so far, we have hatched these dinosaur eggs for 41 days, but none of the dinosaur eggs have shown signs of being successfully hatched. So we think that as the genes change, so does their incubation time. ”
David asked curiously, "Don't you have any results?" ”
Hearing the word achievement, Wen Ming smiled and motioned for the Sith and the others to follow him.
The dinosaur egg, which had been in question, was pushed by the researcher on a cart along with its incubator to a research room next door.
When Wen Ming led everyone in, Cui Chuanming was already ready.
"Boss, do you think this dinosaur is formed?"
Cui Chuanming said hello to David, except for David, he was not very familiar with the others Wen Ming brought in.
Wen Ming looked at the dinosaur egg, and also had very high expectations in his heart, and said: "Don't sell it, I have been running from the company for more than two months, if I don't come up with some results, they may tie me back to the company today." ”
Cui Chuanming shrugged his shoulders and began to beat the dinosaur eggs, of course, not like beating eggs, but using very professional tools, he first drilled a hole in the dinosaur eggs, and extracted all the egg liquid in them for preservation.
Then, use professional tools to cut open the dinosaur eggs, the whole process is very robust, in order to ensure the integrity of the 'dinosaur' inside to the greatest extent.
In the process, James whispered next to Wen Ming: "We will definitely not kidnap you back, but we will let those reporters come here to interview you." ”
Wen Ming was stunned for a moment and asked, "Reporter?" ”
Sith explained, "Did you know that you're the most popular guy in the United States right now? It can even be said that your popularity has increased a lot all over the world. Not to mention our own country, even journalists from other countries have a lot of people who want to interview you. By the way, there is also your motherland of Huaxia, where the reporter also sent an interview letter to our company. ”
Wen Ming nodded, he had expected this situation, because he had to concentrate on the 'resurrection' of the dinosaur project, he almost blocked any non-important decision-making matters within the company.
"Let's wait a while, if I can succeed in this project, I will invite them all to come to this island."
As he spoke, Cui Chuanming had completely broken the dinosaur egg, and a creature with a very disgusting appearance appeared on the console.
The whole body is scaly and hairless, and the bare skin is not the red of normal newborn life, but dark brown, and there are many folds, and there are some unpumped egg liquid on the body.
But it was such a disgusting creature that ordinary people looked like, but it made Cui Chuanming and Wen Ming cheer at the same time.
In addition to the Sith and the others, who were a little inexplicable, several other researchers who were also in the laboratory also cheered.
Sith and the others, who didn't know why, suddenly heard James ask in a whisper: "Do you think, this is ...... Thing...... It's not like an ostrich at all, but a little like a ...... Dinosaur? ”
James's question made Sith and the others stunned for a moment, and they all came closer to watch, and then they understood why this dinosaur egg that failed to hatch made Wen Ming and the others cheer like this.
Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no hope, and now, let alone Wen Ming and other researchers, even those of them who don't understand research have seen hope.
