Mary and her daughters, Lucy and Lily, come to the Sea Biology Museum to watch a mermaid dance performance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mike is also one of the members of the Ocean Wisdom Aquarium, and under the fantastic and beautiful three-dimensional music and lighting, he performed tacitly with the mermaid - bringing extraordinary and superb underwater ballet to the audience on the land shore;

"What's the matter with the Fish-Man?" The Lucy sisters blurted out questions almost at the same time, hoping to hear their stories. Then the picture shows the vast blue sea of Miaohan: Hey! It's a kind of world

On the rare fossil fish man!

"What fossil fish-people?" The two little sisters listened to it for a long time, but they still didn't understand the meaning on the screen.

"Is it the fish man who found the remaining genes from the fossils of the fish-people as mentioned in the news, and cultivated them with this gene?"

"Nope! No! Mary looked at her little daughter and shook her head with a smile. It's not that complicated! Fossil fish-people are living fish-people, but it is a very ancient fish-man species, it is generally thought that it has long been non-existent on the earth, and it has recently been discovered, so people call them fossil fish-people! ”

"It's the ancient sea creature that the picture refers to - the 'total finned fish' man, or the 'Laimmo'

'Fish humans. In the United States, people call this fish-man coelacanths, which is actually the scientific name of this fish-man, and belongs to the 'Elacantha suborder' in paleontology. It is a marine intelligent creature. My husband is engaged

Geologically, you know what the earth was like three to five hundred million years ago, right? ”

"Oh, then!" "It was still the Paleozoic era, and the plants were dominated by sheep's teeth, and the animals were at the beginning of the amphibian period. Such as dinosaurs, crocodiles, etc。。。。。。 ”

"yes!" Mary stood up and snorted, probably smelling the scent of grilled fish from the small fish in the Ocean Restaurant, "Amphibians evolved from fish. But what kind of fish first climbed onto land and became amphibians? This has always been a mystery. Later, among the fossils collected, people found a kind of fish, which was relatively large, with two fins on its back and three pairs of fins on its abdomen, and the front fin was particularly thick, reminiscent of the forelimbs of animals. As a result, some people speculated that this fish may be the ancestor of reptiles. Unfortunately, this fish has long since become extinct. Some say it became extinct eight million years ago; Others say that it became extinct with the dinosaurs 67 million years ago. All in all, it is believed that this fish has long disappeared from the face of the earth, and they can only be studied on the basis of fossils. ”

"And then?" The youngest daughter asked, "This fish has been found again?" ”

"Yes." Mary stood up and walked around the museum, "On December 23, 1938, in the Comoros Islands of the western Indian Ocean, near Madagascar, local fishermen found in their nets a strange mermaid, a little five meters long, fifty-eight kilograms, with a dark blue body and a bright glow. The fishermen, who had never seen this fish for a living for generations, thought it was very strange and informed the director of a nearby museum, biologist Ma Jiuli. Marjorielatimer". After Ma Jiuli saw it, she also thought that this mermaid was very strange and beautiful, but she didn't know what kind of mermaid it was, so she put it back in the sea life museum. And he drew a picture and sent it to a well-known biologist, J.L.B. Smith. Smith came to take a look, and was surprised and delighted, and immediately announced, "This is the total finfish man that people thought was extinct a long time ago!" All of a sudden, the news became a sensation in the world, and newspapers from all over the world reported it with front-page headlines, and Ms. Laimmo became a news figure. In honor of her

For his contribution to the discovery of this fish-man, people called this fish-man the 'La-memo fish' man. ”

"But this fish-man is in the tropical seas of southern Africa," said the little daughter

I was curious and asked my parents, "Why did Hokkaido fishermen also find their sights。。。。。。 ”

"Listen to me," Professor Roland continued, unhurriedly, "and herein lies the problem. Originally, it was thought that the Totalfinfish Man might only be found near the Comoros Islands. But later, on a small island called Sulawesi in the Indonesian Mindanao archipelago, more than 11,000 kilometers from the Comoros Islands, a local fisherman occasionally saw a total finfish man in a deep sea。。。。。。 So there was a legend very early on that on an island deep in the sea, three krakens were seen, dressed in human skins, living with the islanders. There are many such legends, they have noses and eyes, and more than one person has seen them

。 A few years ago, some people said that they saw a particularly ugly face on that island, it was a female, and it also had facial features and sexual organs similar to those of terrestrial people。。。。。。 From its black and white lines

The body is supposed to be in the juvenile stage, and it is described in great detail, and it is speculated that this female sea creature may be the offspring of the mating of the terrestrial man and the fish-man. ”

"Oh? Is this really possible? Mary didn't believe it, "I've heard it before, and there are legends like this in China." ”

"Impossible!" Professor Roland took a sip of coffee, glanced at the animated cartoon of the robot mermaid on the electronic screen, pointed and said, "That is a myth after all, in fact, humans and dogs, humans and aquarium fish people, can mate, but it is impossible to conceive." ”

"Why?" After all, the two daughters are laymen in biology, and they have long been aware of this knowledge.

"It's one of nature's mysteries." Professor Roland raised his head, combed his stubby hair with his fingers, and said unhurriedly, "If you think that different species can conceive with each other, and people and aquarium fish people, dogs and pigs, cows and horses, chickens and ducks, can give birth to mixed breeds, then people will not be like people, dogs will not be like dogs, pigs will not be like pigs, horses will not be like horses,

。。。。。。 Isn't the world of life a mess? So, nature doesn't allow this! Suddenly, the conversation changed:

"But biological robots can mate with its opposite sex, and it can also kill the scientific humans who invented it。。。。。。 For example, Henry recently announced that he had invented a biological robot that produces energy from eating meat, which is not unlike a real person, and can use bacteria to break down food and convert it into electricity. According to Henry, the biorobotic device is capable of releasing enzymes that break down carbohydrates and produce energy from them. He also said that the best food for this biorobot is meat, and vegetables are too low in nutrients. Henry also said: "There will be no situation where a biological robot will go after humans everywhere, but we really can't guarantee that it will not attack humans when they are hungry." Unfortunately, seven days later, the carnivorous robot was invented - and the madman became its meal.

Another example: in 1989, the former Soviet chess champion Dekov played against a robot, Dekov won three games in a row, and proudly claimed that the intelligence of the robot could not compete with humans, and the tragedy suddenly happened! Annoyed, the robot unleashed a high-intensity electric current on the metal chessboard, and just as Dekov's hand was resting comfortably on the board, a generation of chess grandmasters died in full view. Many experts predict that the future of intelligent robots can have emotions of joy and sorrow, and a high degree of intelligence can allow them to act as police and soldiers, so that humans have to risk being killed by robots. ”
