Ren Hong returned to the company's headquarters, and the next day, Yonghua, the person in charge of the K-3018 Institute, contacted him as soon as he learned the news. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Coming to the K-3018 Institute of Prehistoric Biology, Ren Hong and Yonghua stood in the corridor of the fenced platform, the two of them were on a huge spherical roof wrapped around the walkway, looking like a huge hemispherical observatory from the outside to the inside, the outside world could not see the inside scene, but the sunlight could penetrate the inside.

The fence is an independent ecological environment, only to see a huge triceratops rushing out of the jungle, the horns on the head are fiercely pushing against the edge of the fence, on the corridor at the top of the fence, Yonghua looked at the dinosaurs below, and said to Ren Hong: "Chairman, for the huge dinosaurs, the closed ecological space is never a way, in the final analysis, the site is still too small, these triceratops have become manic recently, we are suppressing their nature, their behavior is expressing to us, they want to return to nature!" ”

This is indeed an imminent problem, Ren Hong stared at the triceratops that kept hitting the metal wall below, and was silent for a moment, "Let's go, let's talk about it." ”

The two came indoors, Ren Hong said: "The dinosaur project and the western project are complementary to each other, and the scientific research team is currently improving the vegetation genes to make it have faster reproductive ability. ”

"Progress is normal, but it is quite difficult to artificially control the evolutionary trend of vegetation genes in the future, and even if it is successful, it will have to consider the negative effects of the future." Yonghua replied.

Ren Hong covered his mouth with his fingers crossed, and fell into a deep thought.

Project West and Project Dinosaurs are both in a companion relationship, and it is not a matter of who serves whom, or who is in charge. Ren Hongke gave the scientific research team a very difficult task, that is, to genetically modify the prehistoric vegetation transplanted to the Taklamakan area of the western transformation project in the future, which is no less difficult than resurrecting prehistoric creatures.

Because the conditions are too harsh, Ren Hong's requirement is to speed up the reproduction capacity of those prehistoric vegetation and increase the normal growth of several times or even dozens of times, only in this way can it have a considerable impact on the transformation of the entire western project.

Genetic mutation of vegetation is undoubtedly a double-edged knife, rapid proliferation of vegetation can improve the efficiency of greening the entire Taklamakan Desert, which is a good thing before greening the desert, but when the entire western region is covered by vegetation, the positive impact will turn into a negative impact.

If one is not done well, it will destroy the surrounding ecological environment, and the efficient and rapid reproduction ability of the vegetation after genetic mutation is also a manifestation of aggression, they will rob the living space of other plants on the earth, and even cause the extinction of other vegetation, and if a certain link of the ecological system is destroyed, it will inevitably affect the entire ecosystem.

These factors must be taken into account.

Ren Hong, who was in deep thought, recalled the negative impact that Yonghua had just said, he shook his head and said: "The positive and negative effects are both belts, and the negative effects can still be inhibited through human intervention. ”

Speaking of this, Ren Hong suddenly smiled: "At this time, dinosaurs have a reason to exist, we bring a large number of herbivorous dinosaurs into the ecosystem, these huge guys have to ingest a lot of energy every day, which can well inhibit the expansion rate of vegetation, especially the K-mt0178 variety, which specializes in eating vegetation seeds and gymnosperms for a living." ”

Ren Hong added: "A normal ecosystem needs a complete food chain, and the plant-eating dinosaurs without natural predators will also destroy the ecosystem and gnaw away all the vegetation, so in order to curb the uncontrolled expansion of the plant-eating dinosaurs, we also need some carnivorous dinosaurs that specialize in hunting the plant-eating dinosaurs, and a complete food chain is a key element in the ecological rebalancing of the Taklamakan region." ”

"Carnivorous dinosaurs?" Yonghua looked at the other party in surprise, "Chairman, I don't think the outside world will agree to let the 'Tyrannosaurus' or 'Velociraptor' appear on Earth, humans have a deep-seated fear of these fierce apex predators. ”

"The horror of artistic exaggeration is nothing more, as long as dinosaurs are extremely dangerous whether they are plant-eating or carnivorous." Ren Hong said disapprerovingly: "But then again, no matter how fast the speed is over the bullet?" No matter how hard the carapace is, can it block armor-piercing shells? No matter how amazing the bite force can bite through the steel? In my opinion, on the contrary, the horns on the top of the head of the Triceratops and the teeth of the Tyrannosaurus rex would only be worth more than ivory. Believe me, there will always be people who will go into the jungle to kill for them, and don't forget that humans are the ones who stand at the top of the earth's food chain. ”

Yonghua was speechless for a while, and Ren Hong continued: "If you want to say that the real threat to the people is the pterosaurus, this thing should not be allowed to appear on the earth, as for other predators, we can easily limit their range of activities." ”

After that, Ren Hong turned on the spotlight screen, and the display panel presented a satellite map of the Taklamakan Desert area, he said: "The Tarim River and the middle and upper reaches of the Xijiang River around the basin are the first blockade line to block the dinosaurs, and then look at the alpine plateau on all sides, the cold and thin air in the high-altitude area is the real life forbidden area of the dinosaurs, and the dinosaurs in the Taklamakan area can only be limited to more than 300,000 square kilometers in the basin under double insurance, which is enough." ”

Ren Hong pointed to the waters of the river surrounding the Taklamakan Desert area, and said: "The deadliest thing is the 'Colorado River'-style swamp on both sides of the river, and the carnivorous dinosaurs or plant-eating dinosaurs on land, except for the diplodocus, which basically came and died as many as they wanted. At the same time, we also need to introduce some crocodiles as the only apex predators underwater in the river, and a large number of giant freshwater catfish, giant eels and other fish, especially eel species, can have a good effect on the activity of swamp peat along the entire river bank. ”

Yonghua listened to Ren Hong's analysis and nodded silently, "Not unexpectedly, the probability of dinosaurs wanting to cross the Tarim River in Xijiang is basically zero, not to mention the high-altitude areas behind." ”

"However, the Tarim Basin is no longer tropical, and this needs to be considered." Yonghua added.
