Chapter 124: Breaking the Shell
"Hah!"
Behind him, the moa that had just been quietly eating tender grass and grass roots next to Professor Carl was staring at him, and that look, coupled with the body that was more than two meters tall without looking up, gave people endless pressure.
When Professor Carl saw this scene, he suddenly remembered that the birds didn't know if they hurt people or not, but they were very gentle before, so they ignored it.
At the thought of this, Professor Karl's legs were a little weak, but his body was motionless, and crystal sweat appeared on his forehead, and he didn't know if it was hot or ......
"Number three. Lin Yi screamed, took out a few grapes from his pocket and threw them over.
After Moa No. 3 saw what Lin Yi threw out, his eyes lit up, and he instantly gave up the human being who interested it and went to eat the grapes that Lin Yi threw out.
Professor Carl breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Moa III was no longer staring at him.
"Mr. Lin, what the hell is this, I didn't even ask him when Aino's phone hung up too fast. β
"Just call me Yi, this is a moa, probably the largest bird in the world. Lin Yi said.
"Moa, well, I remember, a bird from New Zealand, right, but it must be extinct in my memory, no wonder Ino is so crazy again. Professor Karl suddenly realized.
"Well, but they're clearly not extinct. Lin Yi looked at the moa that was foraging around.
"Listen to you, they have names. β
"Yes, I got up, the one who stared at you just now was No. Three, and the one with the largest body was No. 1, and the one with the brightest fur was No. 2, and No. 4, and its coat color was darker. Lin Yi introduced them to Professor Carl one by one.
"How's the fishing grounds going?"
"By the way, don't you say that I forgot, I have carefully inspected your fishing ground, the water quality is very good, those fish survive very well in your fishing ground, but during our exploration, we found that there are only a few aquatic weeds in some parts of your fish farm, so you should also plant some aquatic weeds in these places, and it is best for you to plant some kelp in your fishing ground, which can be food for many fish, and can also provide shelter for some small fish. β
"Professor Karl, are you interested in another job, how about becoming a consultant for my fishing farm?" Lin Yi did not answer, but threw an olive branch to Professor Karl.
Lin Yi has all the information about Professor Carl, and Dawson has been giving feedback to Lin Yi about his work during this time, and Professor Carl's ability is very powerful.
Professors in the United States are not like Chinese beasts, every professor must have real talent to be evaluated, of course, every professor will also work part-time in various companies and other places, so this situation is very common.
"Of course, Boss, but I need to lead classes at school every year, so I spend less than half of my time on your manor every year. β
"Of course that's fine. β
Early the next morning, Lin Yi saw Carl with a tired and unhappy face and a white man in his fifties who was excited about the mutation.
"Have you eaten in the morning, if not, come to me a little. β
"I really haven't eaten it yet, so let's try your craft. β
"I'm Aino Dia, the one you spoke to yesterday, the moa, where. The white man was very upset about where Lin Yi and Carl were nagging their parents, so they directly interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Hehe, it's okay, now they're resting, it's better not to mess around at this time, wait a minute. Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Professor Aino, I still have two moa eggs in my hand, I hope they can hatch all of them, is there anything you can do?"
"You still have two eggs in your hand, so if they hatch there will be six moas, give them to me, and I will let them all hatch." When Professor Aino heard this, he instantly jumped up and grabbed Lin Yi's hand, and he didn't look like a man in his fifties.
"Then let's talk!"
An hour later, all three of them signed the contract satisfied, Lin Yi would pay them a weekly salary of 12,000 US dollars, and the two professors needed to give some advice to the manor, help deal with some problems in the manor, and at the same time, Professor Aino would also take care of a few moa.
As soon as Professor Aino saw this moa, he was very excited.
Several moa birds were placed in a small house, and the eggs were incubated by themselves, since there was no record of this, so it was not possible to do it manually, but the two eggs were recorded every day.
On August 5, the yolk became significantly larger.
On August 10, it was found that the placenta inside the moa egg became larger and thicker, and the bright and dark areas increased at the same time, and an oval-shaped embryo shield was visible on the yolk, and the embryo began to conceive.
The egg has changed, which is a very gratifying result, but I am afraid that there is no change, a dead egg, it is really a white excitement.
On August 15, the embryo was surrounded by a transparent blister, the amniotic membrane was filled with amniotic fluid, the embryonic body was curved, a large amount of melanin was deposited in the eye, the yolk sac had surrounded 1/2 of the yolk, and the shadow of the eye could be seen when the egg was illuminated.
On August 22, the allantois grew rapidly, about 4 times, and the allantoic vascular system developed rapidly, covering the amniotic membrane and part of the yolk, but it was thinner than the yolk sac, and the yolk sac blood vessels were distributed in more than 2/3 of the yolk area.
The embryo has begun to have legs and claws, and the shape of the trunk and the long neck can be seen from the egg.
On September 2nd, after such a long period of incubation, the moa inside had accumulated enough strength to break out of its shell, and cracks began to appear on the eggshell.
September 4th, in Aino's words, is a day worth documenting, and today, the moa, which has always been thought to be extinct, finally welcomes the birth of a fifth moa.
Since the early morning, the moa's house has been full of people, all staring at a moa egg, but the whole scene is extraordinarily peaceful, and there is a kind of silence that can be heard even if a needle falls on the ground.
After such a long time together, the people of the entire manor have discovered that these moa birds are actually very gentle things, and their temper is not irritable at all, of course, except when you touch their eggs, most men have a wild heart, and they have a special emotion for this large creature, so now these four guys have become the stars of the entire manor, and they will come to see them every day, and everyone has taken pictures with them, if Lin Yi didn't allow them to pass on the photos before the little moa was born, the manor has been surrounded by many people during this timeγ
Click, click, click, the little moa in the egg pecked open the eggshell with its beak, a small gray-brown head stretched out of the eggshell, the ignorant little eyes curiously scanned everything around it, and finally, the eyes fell on the No. 4 moa beside him, and let out his first cry when he came to this world.
