Chapter 100: Footprints
Not long after the reserve was restored to a benign state, the customs broke a big news - a large number of customs passers who smuggled near birds and dragons were intercepted!
Some of the smugglers who suddenly broke out were intercepted at land ports, ports, and airports, and almost all major foreign ports have seized smuggling cases. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the state has not issued relevant documents and has not positioned the near-ornithosaurus, the customs around the country have invariably adopted the method of leaving the dinosaur behind first, and then reporting to the superiors.
Almost reflexively, customs at all levels have been instructed to strictly inspect and ensure that not a single dinosaur is lost out of the country!
Regardless of what happens in the future, at least until the policy is clear, this choice is the best and there will be no mistakes.
Although the customs took timely measures, it was impossible to completely block all channels and ensure that not a single dinosaur was lost.
One by one, the near-bird dragons, living or dead, flowed out of the country, appeared in the homes of the rich in various countries, appeared in major research institutions, and appeared in the black markets of various countries......
The reporters will chase after the wind and shadows, and the words will not be shocking and endless, but scientists will definitely have to see tangible evidence to admit the existence of the near ornithosaurus.
When the living body of the near-ornithosaurus appeared in front of scientists from all over the world, a new wave of craze appeared in the scientific community.
The first to bear the brunt of the research institutes and universities in China, they have sent people to the reserve to ask for research materials, live dinosaurs, and ask to participate in various research on dinosaurs.
The Forestry Bureau said that this is their responsibility field, dinosaurs must be under their control, who wants to study, okay, must be carried out under the framework of forestry!
This animal husbandry bureau must not be able to do this, this is a great change that has not been encountered in 65 million years, why listen to your forestry bureau, our animal husbandry bureau feels that it should be the protagonist of the statement.
The words of the first two annoyed the big boss, the Chinese Academy of Sciences is on fire, this dinosaur was discovered by our experts, we are big in scientific research, who is bigger than us in China? If you don't accept it, you will come out for a walk, and there are more academicians than whom!
And then Kyoto University quit, what, put aside the controversy and jointly develop, although you swore sovereignty, but it does not affect our joint development, those who have money will pay, those who have power will contribute, and those who have people will always develop first, and we will talk about all kinds of disputes later.
And then Mizuki University is no longer dry.,It's better than that.,Who is afraid of whom?,There's a kind of you who will pick out all our Mizuki alumni.,Speaking of administrative level, who are we afraid of?
And then more institutions come in......
Anyway, when resources are the only one, all kinds of pinching and fighting, all kinds of exposing and all kinds of demonstrations, just to compete for the dominance and priority of scientific research.
When there was no competition for a meridian in China, foreign research institutions also mixed in, and all kinds of olive branches rushed to reach out to China, whether it was project introduction or visiting scholars, whether it was cooperative education or mutual funds, anyway, how to tempt how to come, I wanted to be able to join the research plan of dinosaurs.
After all, this is a living dinosaur, and it is very possible to get a Nobel Prize out of it!
In the face of this prospect, scientists also need to fight!
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, noisy, and chaotic sound, Li Menghua has also become a busy man, and most of the time he spends every day on the communication of his counterparts from various countries.
Many legendary bulls who can only be heard of took the initiative to find Li Menghua and discuss various issues about the near-bird dragon with Li Menghua, which flattered Li Menghua for a while.
In the face of the academic giants, Li Menghua did not dare to be perfunctory in the slightest, and responded with full attention. Often around a problem, it takes half a day to discuss. This is not only a process of communication, but also a process of discussion, and a process of learning, from which Li Menghua has also benefited a lot.
Li Menghua understands that as long as he follows the east wind of the near-ornithrosaur, as long as he can keep up with the progress of the research and communicate with these big bulls in a timely manner, he will soon become one of the world's first-class geneticists......
"Li, have you measured the genetic profile of the near-ornithosaurus?" On the other side of the network, more than 10,000 kilometers away, is Professor Eric Rand of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who is the president of the Broad Institute and a well-deserved leader in the genetic community.
"I've tested, and soon after the discovery of the near-ornithosaurus, the genetic map was drawn." Li Menghua's attitude is very serious, more serious than when he listened to lectures in college.
"So have you compared it to other birds today?"
"I've compared a few, but not many."
"What's the catch?"
"The genes of the near-ornithosaurus relative to the pigeon, if you do a subtraction, there are two viruses missing, one bacterial gene."
The evolution process of organisms is actually a process of genetic mutation and heterozygosity, and the genes of the organism itself will undergo various mutations, and non-autologous genes will be integrated.
After hundreds of millions of years of reproduction, the genes of modern organisms contain the genes of many microorganisms that have lived in symbiosis with their ancestors in history, which is the heterozygosity of genes.
For example, the ancestor of the pigeon has a long-term symbiosis with a certain virus, and after a long time, a chance appears, and the virus is integrated into the genes, and it is passed down from generation to generation with the reproduction of the pigeon.
The meaning of Li Menghua's sentence is that the near-bird dragon lives 150 million less than the pigeon, and naturally there are many fewer opportunities for heterozygosity.
"Li, did the near-bird dragon suddenly appear in the Xishui Conservation Area?"
"Yes, this point should be certain, because Xishui belongs to the secondary forest of returning farmland to forest, in fact, it is not a primitive biosphere, the species in it have long been clearly investigated, and the near-ornithistosaurus is so distinctive, and the population size is not small, it is unlikely to be missed."
"So there's a problem here, it's amazing that the near-bird dragon can adapt perfectly to the modern environment as soon as it comes out. In the days when ornithosaurus lived, the atmospheric environment was quite different from that of modern times, and it is difficult to imagine that it could adapt to such large environmental changes in a short period of time, such as hundreds of years. ”
"Yes, this is a question, and I have not been able to find the answer."
"Lee, are you genetically looking for the answer?"
"What do you mean?"
"The respiratory system, the circulatory system, the muscular system, the oxygen consumption inside the cells, and so on, all of these are reflected in the genes. People walk through the snow and leave footprints, and the DNA changes of organisms also leave footprints......"
