Chapter 371: Cold Resistance Experiment
Walk into the experimental area.
He Guangwei continued to introduce.
"Because we are better prepared to cope with the effects of extreme cold weather, we are now orienting these wild animals to evolve by genetic selection."
"Therefore, only wild animals that have enough cold resistance genes and can adapt to relatively low temperature environments can continue to survive."
"Huh? What about the others who can't adapt to the low temperatures? Yang Qi asked curiously again.
If the wild animals cannot adapt to the low temperature environment according to the content of the experiment, then they can only be eliminated.
And the so-called elimination is death.
"For those wild animals that can't adapt to the cold environment, we will choose to settle them properly and die peacefully while they have enough to live."
He Guangwei said with a serious expression.
"The wild animals that have been selected for cold tolerance genes are bred in an organized manner to ensure that their offspring have cold resistance genes."
Qin Ge nodded when he heard this.
"Well, according to previous paleontological data, these wild animals were actually able to survive in extremely low temperatures of about minus 150 degrees Celsius at first, because many thousands of years ago, their ancestors had extremely thick fur."
"So the content of your experiments can be a little more rigorous."
"Otherwise, if it is only a few tens of degrees below zero, even if the genes are screened, it will be difficult to ensure that they will survive after the world has completely entered the ice age in the future, after losing our artificial protection."
When He Guangwei heard this, his eyes showed surprise.
In any case, he never imagined that as the head of the command center of the special office, he would even ask them to further increase the difficulty of the experiment.
You know, even today, less than one in ten wild animals can really hold on to the test subjects.
If you want to make the experiment more difficult, it is possible that there will be fewer of them.
"Director Qin, this may allow us to screen, and most of the numbers will be reduced."
Qin Ge shook his head when he heard this.
"Don't you understand what I mean? I want to be able to adapt not only to the low temperatures of minus tens of degrees, but also to be able to adapt to lower temperatures. ”
"If we release water in our experiments now, then these wild animals will not be able to adapt to such intense cold temperatures in the future, and it may even lead to the extinction of this species."
"Do you want to see these species disappear from the planet completely?"
As soon as these words came out, all the staff of the ecological R&D base immediately stood in awe.
This is the same number of ways that the Dragon Kingdom used to train warriors.
It's not terrible to sweat and blood on weekdays.
The important thing is that these efforts ensure that the soldiers can survive better on the battlefield.
It can also increase their survival rate.
Now, for these wild animals, if their experimental environment is adjusted to a more harsh situation, it can also ensure that their chances of surviving in the wild are higher in the future.
"Okay, without further ado, now you make the experiment more difficult, let me take a look at the operation process."
He Guangwei nodded when he heard this.
Then immediately let the staff under him prepare.
Soon a cheetah was chosen.
It was transported to the experimental operation room through an iron box.
Although it is an operation room, it is actually a relatively empty area.
It's just that this area has been covered with snow, and the thickness is bottomless.
And when the cheetah is put inside, you can only see that he still has two ears outside.
At the same time, the thermometer next to it also displays the real-time temperature in the operating room at all times.
"-50 degrees."
"-60 degrees Celsius."
……
"-80 degrees Celsius!"
"-100 degrees Celsius!"
Yang Qi looked at the wind and snow in the operation room, and he could feel the extreme chill just through the thick glass.
The cheetah began to tremble uncontrollably.
Huddled in a corner and didn't move.
It looks like he's going to die.
"Director Qin, wouldn't this be too strict? At minus 100 degrees, there is no way for normal wild animals to live in such a natural environment. ”
Qin Ge shook his head when he heard this.
"You're underestimating these wild animals, their ability to adapt to the natural environment is far more complex than we think."
"The reason why human beings are unable to adapt to such extreme cold weather today is that after thousands of years, with the development of human civilization, human beings can protect themselves by using many tools and many measures."
"But the only thing they can protect these wild animals is their own size and hair, except for their genes."
In fact, human beings have continued to evolve and develop over the past thousands of years.
What about the other animals on this planet?
Some animals are endangered, but in the end, there are always a few solitary ones left.
Perhaps it's because these wild animals are able to adapt to the current environment.
And as long as they are given enough space and conditions, they can also allow the group to continue to reproduce and develop.
So in order to protect these wild animals in the true sense.
The most rigorous tests must be taken.
Only in this way can the most effective genes and individuals of the species that are most resistant to the natural environment be selected from these wild animals.
"Keep cooling down."
Qin Ge gave the order with an expressionless face.
And the staff of all the ecological R&D bases present felt a little cruel just by looking at it.
But they also felt that what Qin Ge said actually had a certain amount of truth.
I saw it through thick warm glass.
The cheetah kept cowering in the corner.
"Are you really okay?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
When He Guangwei heard this, he contacted the staff in the monitoring operation room through the headset.
"At present, the subject's physical function is indeed declining, but it is still within a controllable range, and he has not completely died because of this."
Half an hour or so passed.
The cheetah seemed to realize that it could not wait to die in such an environment.
Then it began to move slowly.
And try to find a new place in this snowdrift.
But it can be seen that it may have resisted, and the temperature dropped at the beginning.
So much so that now he is fully able to adapt to such an environment.
The other researchers around couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this scene.
"Oh my God! It's minus 120 degrees Celsius! ”
"But this cheetah is still alive!"
"It is reported that the cheetah's physical function is reduced again, and it will soon reach a critical point in its life."
The monitoring personnel in the operation room report through the radio.
"Director Qin, do you want to stop the experiment immediately?"
