Technology Bigshot Chapter 402: : It’s about to break its shell! ]
After a while, the two walked into the laboratory. The area of the laboratory is very large. At this moment, there are more than 20 bioengineer branches working attentively in various areas. Ren Hong looked around for a while, and came to a corner of the laboratory. He came to a greenhouse cultivation room, where the round platforms of different sizes, shapes and heights were like miniature buildings.
There is a kind of vegetation seedling on each independent table. This is not ordinary vegetation, but from prehistoric plants that have long been extinct hundreds of millions of years ago. Now they have miraculously appeared on the earth, with more than 60 independent plants. Terraces In this greenhouse cultivation room, each platform is a separate species. Prehistoric algae, bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, angiosperms, and other species categories exist.
Ren Hong came to one of the round platforms. He looked at the sign j-0043 on the side, which showed that it belonged to a type of gymnosperm, but it was not named, which means that it was an undiscovered but undiscovered plant on earth. A species that existed in prehistoric times is now reversed by Sakura.
I saw Ren Hong stretch out his hand slowly, and a strange scene soon appeared. When Ren Hong's hand approached it, the stems of this type of vegetation suddenly began to move and shrink slowly. Suddenly, this type of vegetation was like The snake generally attacked Ren Hong's hand, and the speed surprised him, but Ren Hong already knew the details of it, and the attack naturally failed.
Failed to hunt, it shrinks again and stands motionless, ready for the next attack.
Ren Hong, who is in high spirits, is teasing here. This unknown species of plant has failed to hunt again and again, and has spared no effort to repeat it again and again. After a while, a staff member came here with the device. Ren Hong saw that he was running towards the round platform where he was and stepped back for a while to make room for the staff.
"I don't think it should be classified as a plant. He is more like an animal." Ren Honghuan, who was standing beside him, smiled with arms crossed.
"Haha, animals don't have chlorophyll. This is the end of the Paleozoic era, that is, the extinct species in the Permian era. The living environment is generally in wetlands or swamps, and they belong to spore plants, which makes them often appear in groups. ." The staff explained with a smile, while not forgetting their work, they began to use professional instruments to induce them according to their habits. I saw that it was attacking like a snake, and instantly bit the hard metal instrument, and the staff was suddenly in the middle of it. cut at the stem.
After collecting the collected samples, he continued: "Its attack or hunting behavior is very interesting, like the stress response, it is extremely sensitive to light sources, which is also the factor that tends to respond to them. You will Seeing such a scene, these species in groups of wetlands or swamps on the waterfront are constantly doing this movement as if they are convulsing when they are stimulated by light during the day."
"Perhaps you will think how does it forage for food? The food is scared away, prehistoric animals can't be so stupid, right? Of course, it also secretes a strange hormone to guide, their main food is Arthropods, insects, jumping cockroaches, dragonflies, etc. The oxygen concentration in the prehistoric earth era is not comparable to today's, and the size of prehistoric creatures is also huge. The size of two fists together, these are its food sources."
"And once it's night, the hormones will stop, they're like dead, no matter how much you interfere or even hit it, there won't be any resistance."
"It's more like a plant at night." Ren Hong said with a smile.
The staff also laughed and added: "However, this type of vegetation is not without natural enemies. Herbivores that specialize in foraging at night are their natural enemies, and the characteristic hormones secreted during the day have become Their foraging skills are also the main culprits of their destruction, and their predators come for them, and they have nothing to do at night."
Speaking of which, the staff here looked at the gap he had just cut and said: "In less than a week, it will grow back again, and the growth rate is amazing. In this way, an area composed of a completed biological chain is maintained. Ecological balance.”
Ren Hong nodded slightly and looked at the label with an uppercase cross. This label means that it can only stay in the laboratory forever and has been eliminated. Obviously, the current earth environment is not suitable for this kind of species.
"Be careful, don't let its spores be taken out of the laboratory." Ren Hong reminded before leaving, even though it was still a seedling.
After coming out of the plant greenhouse, Ren Hong and Yonghua met again, and the two talked in detail around a table...
Yonghua pondered: "The implementation of the dinosaur plan will not be too smooth. The current ecosystem on the earth is completely unsuitable, and the oxygen content in the air is a major problem. The oxygen content in the air in the age of dinosaurs exceeded 30%. %, which has now dropped to 19%, and two decades of deforestation have reduced air oxygen levels by 2 percentage points.”
He added: "In addition, the ecological impact brought about by the intersection of two species in time and space is also very important to the existing ecosystem problems of the earth. The special investigation of prehistoric plants that have been successfully resurrected in the laboratory All are brutally aggressive."
Ren Hong had a deep understanding of this just now, and Yonghua continued: "The invasion of prehistoric creatures will bring a huge threat to the existing vegetation of the earth. The entire prehistoric biological history is inseparable from the word huge. They are all very large. As far as vegetation is concerned, if they enter the current ecology of the earth, the huge body will 'eat' almost all the sunlight, and they can quickly eliminate competitors. For humans, this is also mixed. ."
"The advantage is naturally that it can change the current ecological environment of the earth. The powerful reproduction and growth ability can quickly green the earth and enrich the oxygen content of the air that is declining day by day. But the disadvantage is that the forest will become very dangerous to human activities. Indirect effects. The plant you just saw, the mature complete body can eat people, and people who accidentally fall into this kind of vegetation are basically dead, even elephants can't survive, similar to this planting There are many other species, the worst thing is that some plants are extremely interdependent and cannot survive without each other, and one of them is extremely unfriendly to other species, animals and even humans.”
"We have hundreds of millions of years of inheritance, and we will always find the right spot." Ren Hong smiled optimistically.
“The reaction of the outside world is an important external factor.” Yonghua raised this question with a little dignified, he said: “I think there must be some people who are worried that the earth’s ecosystem will be destroyed, and use this to target Us, against us."
"But it's different if we start from improving the earth's environment." Ren Hong said suddenly, he added: "What if our plan can bring the oxygen content of the earth's atmosphere back to 21% or even higher? "
"Is this... possible?" Yonghua asked hesitantly.
"Everything is possible." Ren Hong said confidently: "Since the danger is unavoidable, then put the danger in the cage and release the fresh air."
Ren Hong said with a smile: "The desert is the biggest cage that closes the danger, and people just talk about the color of the sand."
When Yonghua heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Chairman, do you mean to build a dinosaur park or a prehistoric ecosystem in an uninhabited desert area? Instead of an island at sea?"
Ren Hong nodded slowly and said, "Desert areas are one of the forbidden areas for human beings. If we relocate the prehistoric ecosystem to desert areas without human activities, and turn the desert into an oasis, I think more of it is in agreement. It's a voice instead of an objection! I have already determined the address of the Dinosaur Park, which is in the Taklimakan area! This is why the biological genetic information I gave you first is vegetation, and the environmental problems of the Taklimakan Desert must be solved first. "Ren Hong added with a smile: "We also have to participate in the strategic development of the western region!"
"However, this is too difficult!" Yonghua said. Transforming the Taklimakan Desert? How difficult it is to sow the seeds of life in that endless forbidden area of life.
Ren Hong smiled confidently: "This is our specialty, we have been making the impossible possible. We can all reverse time and space and bring prehistoric creatures to modern times. A small problem of modifying the environment will be more than This one is more difficult?"
Yonghua was at a loss for words.
At this moment, excited voices came from the research room, and both Ren Hong and Yonghua were attracted.
"It's coming out of its shell! It's coming out!"
Ren Hong and Yonghua heard this sentence, they looked at each other in silence, stood up almost at the same time, and walked in the same direction.
Dinosaurs that have been extinct for nearly 65 million years are about to be born?
