Technology Bigshot

After a while, the two walked into the laboratory. The area of ​​the laboratory is very large. At the moment, there are more than 20 branches of bioengineers 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 round tables of different sizes, shapes, and heights were like miniature buildings.

There is a vegetation seedling on each independent platform, which is not an ordinary vegetation, but a prehistoric plant that has been extinct hundreds of millions of years ago, and now they miraculously appear on the earth, more than 60 independent terraces are in In this greenhouse cultivation room, each platform is an independent species. Prehistoric algae, bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, angiosperms, and other species groups exist.

Ren Hong came to one of the round platforms, and he looked at the sign 0043 on the side, which showed that it was a gymnosperm, but it had not been named, which meant that it was a species that had not been discovered on the earth but existed in prehistoric times. , and now it is deduced by Sakura in reverse.

I saw Ren Hong stretching out his hand slowly, and a strange scene appeared soon. When Ren Hong's hand approached it, the stems and columns of this kind of vegetation suddenly began to slowly move and shrink. Suddenly, this kind of vegetation was like a snake. Ren Hong's hand launched an attack, the speed of which surprised him, but Ren Hong knew the details of it a long time ago, so the attack naturally failed.

The hunt failed, and it retracted again, motionless, ready for the next attack.

The enthusiastic Ren Hong 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 a device. Seeing that he was coming towards the round platform where he was, Ren Hong stepped back for a moment to make room for the staff.

"I don't think it should be classified as a plant. It's more like an animal." Ren Hong, who was standing aside, folded his arms and smiled.

"Haha, animals don't have chlorophyll. This is an extinct species at the end of the Paleozoic Era, that is, the Permian Era. Its living environment is generally in wetlands or swamps. It belongs to spore plants, which also makes them appear in groups." Work The staff explained with a smile, and at the same time did not forget to work, and began to use professional instruments to induce it according to its habits. It was like a snake attacking, and it instantly bit the hard metal instrument. cut off.

After collecting the collected samples, he continued: "Its attack or hunting behavior is very interesting, just like a stress response, it is extremely sensitive to light sources, which is also a factor that tends to respond to them. You will see this In a scene, the wetlands or swamps on the waterfront are groups of such species that keep making this kind of movement as if they are convulsed during the day when they are stimulated by light."

"Maybe you will think how does it look 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 them. Their main food is arthropods, Insects, jumping cockroaches, dragonflies, etc.

The richness of oxygen in the prehistoric earth age is not comparable to that of today, and the size of prehistoric creatures is also huge. The jumping cockroach is about the size of a rooster, and the large dragonfly is as big as two fists of an adult. These are all of them. food source. "

"And once it's night, the secretion of hormones will stop, and they are as if they are dead. No matter how you interfere or even hit them, there will be no resistance."

"It's more like a plant at night." Ren Hong said with a laugh.

The staff also laughed when they heard it, and added: "However, this kind of vegetation is not without natural enemies. Herbivorous animals that specialize in foraging at night are their natural enemies. The characteristic hormones secreted during the day become their natural enemies. Their unique skills are also the culprit of their destruction, and their natural enemies come for it, and they have nothing to do at night."

Speaking of which, the staff looked at the gap he had just cut, and said, "In less than a week, it will grow back again, at an astonishing growth rate. In this way, a complete biological chain is maintained to maintain the regional ecological balance. "

Ren Hong nodded slightly, looking at the label with a capital X. This label means that it can only stay in the laboratory forever and has been eliminated. It is obvious that 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 cultivation room of the plant greenhouse, Ren Hong and Yonghua met again, and they talked in detail around a table. .

Yonghua pondered: "The implementation of the dinosaur project will not be smooth. The current ecosystem on the earth is completely unsuitable. The oxygen content in the air is a big problem. The oxygen content in the air in the age of dinosaurs exceeded 30%. It dropped to 19, and the deforestation of vegetation reduced the oxygen content of the air by 2 percent over a period of two decades."

He added: "In addition, the ecological impact brought about by the intersection of species in two time and space is also very important to the existing ecological system problems on the earth. The special investigations of prehistoric plants that have been successfully resurrected in the laboratory are all barbaric. aggressiveness."

Ren Hongzai 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 on the earth. The entire history of prehistoric creatures is inseparable from the word "huge". The size of animals and plants is very large. As far as the vegetation is concerned, if it enters the current earth ecology, the huge body will almost eat all the sunlight, and they will quickly eliminate their competitors. For humans, this is also a mixed blessing.”

"The advantage is naturally that it can change the current ecological environment of the earth. The strong reproduction and growth capabilities can quickly green the earth and enrich the dwindling air with oxygen. But the disadvantage is that the forest will become very dangerous and have an indirect impact on human activities. The plant you just saw can eat people when it is fully mature. People who accidentally fall into this kind of vegetation are basically dead, even elephants can hardly survive. Similar to this kind of vegetation There are many, and the hell is that some plants are so interdependent that they can't live without each other, and one of them is extremely hostile to other species and even animals and even humans."

"We have hundreds of millions of years of inheritance, and we will always find a suitable point." Ren Hong smiled optimistically.

"The reaction of the outside world is an important external factor." Yonghua raised this question again with a little dignity, 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 and oppose us."

"But it would be different if we started from improving the earth's environment." Ren Hong said suddenly, and 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 hesitated.

"Anything is possible." Ren Hong said confidently: "Since the danger is inevitable, then lock the danger in the cage and release the fresh air."

Ren Hong said with a smile: "The desert is the biggest cage to close the danger, and people just talk about the sand."

Yonghua's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said, "Chairman, do you mean to build a dinosaur park or a prehistoric ecosystem in an uninhabited desert area? Instead of an island on the sea?"

Ren Hong nodded slowly, and said: "The desert area is one of the forbidden areas for human beings. If we relocate the prehistoric ecosystem to the desert area without human activities, and turn the desert into an oasis again, I think it is more of a voice of approval." I’m not against it! I’ve already decided on the address of the Dinosaur Park, which is in the Taklamakan area! That’s why the biological genetic information I gave you first is the vegetation. We have to solve the environmental problems of the Taklamakan Desert first.” Ren Hong He added with a smile: "We also want to participate in the strategic development of the western region!"

"But, this is too difficult!" Yonghua said. Transforming the Taklamakan Desert? How difficult it is to sow the seeds of life in that endless restricted area of ​​life.

Ren Hong smiled confidently: "This is our specialty. We have been making the impossible possible. We can reverse time and space and bring prehistoric creatures to modern times. A small problem of transforming the environment will be more difficult than this ?”

Yonghua was at a loss for words when he heard it.

At this moment, excited voices came from the research room, and both Ren Hong and Yong Hua were attracted.

"It's coming out of its shell! It's coming out!"

When 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?
