Chapter 3 New Creatures in the Evolutionary Chain?
"So, let's get started." Washing away the fatigue of his whole body with warm water, Yan Qingcheng put on a simple dress and walked into the laboratory, and loudly issued a command to the intelligent system.
"The name is clear; Status, 5th grader of the United Nations Institute of Science and Technology; Student ID, 102050612; Confirm login. An icy mechanical synthesizer sounded, and the screens of all the surrounding instruments lit up at the same time.
Yan Qingcheng took off a pair of rings from the console in the center of the laboratory and put them on his left and right wrists, turned on the holographic control mode, and then took out a data chip from his chest pocket and placed it in the center of the console.
"Analyze the data and open the 'Paper 13 Final Draft, Final Draft, Final Draft, Final Draft, Final Draft, Final T He paused slightly as he read the name of the file, and his face flushed slightly.
"Confirm the instruction and open the file 'Paper 13 Final Draft Final Draft Final Draft Final Draft Final T Without the slightest fluctuation, the mechanical synthesizer read the file name again.
"I didn't ask you to read the file name repeatedly, you retarded system!" Yan Qingcheng suddenly exploded, and his hands clenched into fists to give the console a look, but he still suppressed the sudden surge of anger, after all, the damage to the laboratory due to personal reasons will affect the evaluation results, and the evaluation results determine to a considerable extent whether he can get a graduation scholarship, which is a huge wealth for him who is helpless.
"Change the file 'Paper Thirteen ......', no, change the name of the file you are reading to 'Research Paper on Newly Discovered Organisms.'" Yan Qingcheng almost read the name of the mentally handicapped file he had chosen again.
The intelligent system apparently does not speak clearly, and after a minute of information processing time, a colored hologram appears on the console.
"Set up the paper image to synchronize with the real person, prepare the video and organize it into the database, this is the last simulation explanation."
"Confirm the order, countdown five, four, three, two, one, start."
Yan Qingcheng adjusted his breathing, turned his back to the console, put his legs together, spread his arms, raised his head in the most chic posture, and said proudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, open your eyes and prepare for a new chapter in the evolutionary chain!" ”
He bowed deeply in an impeccable pose, then took a step sideways, displaying the colored hologram that he was blocking behind in front of the video camera.
It was a human skeleton, curled up in one piece, so well preserved that it looked like it had just been stripped from a living human. But if you look closely, it seems that there is something behind the bones that shouldn't exist.
Yan Qingcheng tapped the bracelet on his right hand, and the bracelet projected a curtain of light, revealing the text part of the paper, which he would use to explain.
"On July 23, 1019, this humanoid skeleton was discovered by me within the Yangxing Natural Biological Cultivation Area, which is far away from all biological gathering areas and exists independently in the wilderness; I'm sorry I can only define it in terms of humanoid bones, because it has a huge structural similarity to our human skeleton, but more importantly, it's very different. ”
Yan Qingcheng approached the hologram, moved the bones with his left hand, and stretched the torso and limbs to show the video camera.
"It's clear that it's the skeleton of a male creature, and it's been dated for at least 800 years; The skeletal structure of the main body is almost identical to that of a human, with slightly slender and slender limbs compared to a male of the same height, and a 10 percent higher cross-sectional area of the spine than normal. ”
Yan Qingcheng walked behind the hologram, held the bone with both hands, and slowly unfolded what seemed to be unattended.
"That's the real point, the real wings that God has given to humanity that have never existed in reality in human history, and that allow humans to fly freely in the sky!"
Yan Qingcheng stretched out the bone wings with force, and with his movements, the whole skeleton seemed to be injected with new life, the curled up body instantly straightened, the legs were together, the arms were open, and the dead head was supported by an inexplicable force, and the head was raised upward, as if accepting a mortal salute.
"It's not like it's a gimmick, it's actually the same when I'm fiddling with the sample, but it doesn't last for three seconds before it returns, and I've been studying it for a long time and I haven't figured out what kind of force can drive it to be so powerful after 800 years of death, if I weren't an atheist, I might have worshiped it right away."
Yan freezes the hologram's action and reverses the whole, presenting the back of the skeleton in front of the camera, and then zooms in on the local image to better show the details.
"The pterygoid bones replaced the position of the twelfth pair of ribs, which were directly attached to the vertebrae, and the joints were thick and capable of turning at the full angle, in other words, they were not locked by the joints at all, which is impossible for almost all ornithischian animals; Originally, the eleventh pair of ribs was one and a half times larger than that of normal humans, and it was analyzed that they were used to attach tissues to provide most of the power source for the wing bones. ”
Yan Qingcheng spread out the wing bone on the left side little by little, and when you look at it up close, the wing bone is crystal clear, not like a biological bone, but like a work of art carved out of crystal.
"Completely different from the wing bone structure of ornithischia, if the wings of ornithischian evolved for flight, this pair of wing bones is more like polished for hunting; The wing, 1.4 meters long, resembles another arm that grows on a vertebrae, but the palm of the hand has been replaced by a 20-centimeter-long bone spur that has been structurally analyzed to resemble a human tooth and appears to be covered with scratches under the microscope, presumably independent of the body, similar to the teeth of a predator. ”
Yan Qingcheng tapped on the bracelet on his left hand, and a picture bag popped up from the bracelet, from which he took out an image and covered it on the left wing bone.
"I'm sorry I only collected such a small fragment of the wing bones at the site, these slender wing bones are supposed to be connected to the main body by small joints and musculature, I spent two months restoring them and piecing together this approximate shape, because these scattered bones are so badly damaged, I suspect that the owner of this skeleton was severely injured before he died."
Yan Qingcheng changed the image and overlaid it in the same place, this image depicted a complete left wing bone, crystal dazzling white bones connected to each other in an intricate way, dotted with transparent silver wings.
"It's a complete image of my imagination, it's so beautiful, I never thought that death would produce any beauty, but I have to say that my atheism has been shaken, and probably only a god could create such a creature of majesty and beauty."
Yan Qingcheng changed the image again, and enlarged it in front of the camera, which was a huge number of genetic sequences.
"However, genetics tells me that this is not a creation of the gods, and this image is a comparison of some of the human genetic sequences with the remaining ones; It's exactly the same, it's exactly the same in the truest sense of the word, and at least I'm sure that this skeleton is inextricably linked to us humans! ”
The tone was firm, and the voice was like thunder.
