Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Later Stage of the Experiment (Part II)
As long as Grandrent doesn't leak out the matter here, how can he get together the materials on the list Xue Yunchu didn't care at all, the experimental assistant came to report, and the first experiment was reflected in the normal performance of all physiological indicators, it seems that it is time to put it in the wild to observe whether it can survive as before,.
He, along with three other test personnel and security guards, led the subject to the location where it was originally captured, ready to be released. The island on which the research base is located is about several hundred square kilometers in size, and it takes only a few minutes to drive.
Stephen was in the cage, restless, and after being shot unconscious with a gun a few weeks ago while hunting snow rabbits, he thought he would die, but when he woke up, he found that his body seemed to have been replaced, and he had become as powerful as when he was younger, but he did not have the familiar taste of the past.
It pounced on the cage, sharpened its claws, and looked at the white-clad humans outside with a little horror, not knowing how long it had been since it had been away from home, but the wife had stocked up most of the food, and it should not be hungry for the children at home.
After a short wait, the cages were opened by two heavily armed men, and the white-clad humans hid aside, but they didn't have to worry at all, they didn't have the slightest idea of revenge. As a wolf who has been in the past 13 years, he no longer has that youthful impulse, and in this case, any attack will be greeted by those two guns.
As soon as the cages opened, he ran out as fast as he could, as if his legs and feet were still a little unobedient, far from the speed of his youth.
Looking back at the humans, they got into that weird car again, they couldn't outrun the four-wheeled guys, but they were instinctively driven to try to stay away from these things, and luckily they didn't catch up again.
"Doctor, looking at the subject's actions, they are still within the normal range, and it may take some time before they can fully adapt to the original life in the wild." An experimental assistant said.
Xue Yunchu nodded, watched the wolf run out of sight, and ordered, "To ensure that the radio tracker and field surveillance camera are functioning properly, all actions regarding the experimental subject must be recorded as analysis data." ”
The island has been completely monitored, and no bird or insect can escape the camera.
The wolf's surveillance camera was switched to the on-board computer, and the target was running towards its nest.
Slifen ran back to his nest as fast as he could, and saw his wife and two children eating from a distance, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
It approached quickly, but his wife was howling at it, warning him not to come closer.
Slifen was amazed and explained everything with the unique contact between husband and wife.
But the wife was obviously not so easy to accept, and it slowly approached, sniffing incessantly with its nose, as if it had picked out a little familiar smell, and then stopped, looking at it in disbelief.
Slifen tried his best to explain, but even what he didn't understand could only vaguely say that he had been captured by humans and had just been released.
Xue Yunchu observed the behavior between the two wolves in front of the computer and asked, "Simir, do you think he will still be accepted by the she-wolf?" ”
Simir thought seriously for a moment and said: "The wolf, although it is a social animal, also has feelings, in which the male and female will live for a long time, even a lifetime, of course, this is what is needed to nurse children. In order to ensure an adequate supply of food, female wolves often force male wolves to hunt as hard as they can. The number of wolves on this island is small, there are no packs, and they live in scattered areas. The male wolf has been missing for weeks, and the food is running out, and the female wolf should finally accept the male, who looks strange but understands the connection between them, out of the need to raise the cubs. Of course, if it is a completely unfamiliar male wolf, I am afraid it is unlikely, because it may endanger the life of the young wolf,"
"Oh, it seems to be somewhat similar to human society." Xue Yunchu said a word and continued to observe their movements.
As the day passed, the situation did not seem to change much, and the she-wolf did not allow the male wolf to come near her den and the calf.
Leaving the observation work to the assistant, Xue Yunchu returned to the laboratory to prepare for the next surgical experiment.
Unable to return to his den, Slifen found a cave to live in temporarily, and his belly hunger forced him to risk being taken by humans again.
The new body is very powerful, but it seems to have forgotten its previous skills, and every time it is about to make a familiar move, it will involuntarily hesitate, and the nimble prey will run away. After a full day, it caught nothing.
The next day, it tried to get closer to his wife, but was ruthlessly chased away. Hunting and still nothing.
It was not until the fourth day that he struggled to catch a rabbit, and as far as he could remember, it could only eat a small portion of it before it was taken and buried by his wife.
After eating one of its hind legs, it left the rabbit not far from its original nest and ran away.
"It's a bit strange about this wolf's behavior, and it's a valuable wildlife research material to record." An assistant said.
"It's not easy to see this scene, it seems that we are the first." The other said with a bit of humor.
In addition to analyzing the video sent back by the observers in the past few days, Xue Yunchu is preparing for the next operation. This time the subject was an adult baboon, selected from their base zoo. This zoo was built together with the base, and various animals were purchased in it, and they all had a common feature, which in some ways had the characteristics of human society.
Baboons are genetically similar mammals to humans, and according to current scientific conclusions, they should share a common ancestor. The corresponding experiment also takes a lot longer to prepare, understand all kinds of information, and analyze the nervous system, if it were not for Xue Yunchu to preside over and the strong financial guarantee, ordinary scientists would probably spend years to perform an operation they are undergoing.
While he was preparing, the phone rang, and Xue Yunchu took it.
"Glend, what's the matter?" It turned out to be that American expert.
"Doctor, the technology of targeted cultivation of embryonic stem cells has been perfected and passed various tests, is it used in clinical trials?" There seemed to be a hint of anxiety in the other party's tone.
"You wait first, I'll go and see the experiment myself." Xue Yunchu hung up the phone and prepared to go to the experimental area where Grund was.
