Ren Hong returned to the company headquarters. The next day, Yong Hua, the person in charge of K-3018, contacted him as soon as he heard the news. ??? One reading???·???·
Arriving at the K-3018 Institute of Prehistoric Biology, Ren Hong and Yonghua stood on the corridor of the fenced platform. The two of them were in a giant spherical roof wrapped around the walkway, looking like a huge hemispherical observatory from the outside to the inside. Similarly, the outside world cannot see the inside scene, but the sunlight can take in the inside.
Inside the fence is an independent ecological environment. I saw a huge triceratops rushing out of the jungle, with the horns on its head violently against the edge of the fence. He was on the corridor at the top of the fence. Yonghua looked at the dinosaur below, yes. Ren Hong said: "Chairman, for the huge dinosaurs, enclosed ecological spaces are still not a solution. In the final analysis, the site is still too small. The temperament of these triceratops has become manic recently. We are suppressing their nature. Behaviors are telling us that they must return to nature!"
This is indeed an imminent question. Ren Hong stared at the triceratops that kept hitting the metal wall below, and was silent for a moment, "Let's go, let's talk about it."
The two came indoors, and Ren Hong said: "The Dinosaur Project and the Western Project are complementary. The research team is currently improving vegetation genes to make them have faster reproduction capabilities. By the way, how is the genetic modification of the plant system going? ?"
"The progress is normal, but it is quite difficult to artificially control the evolutionary trend of vegetation genes in the future. Even if it succeeds, you have to consider the subsequent negative effects. One read??·?? Look?? Look·??" Yonghua answered Tao.
Ren Hong covered his mouth with his fingers crossed and plunged into a period of thought.
Both the Western Project and the Dinosaur Project are in a companion relationship, and it is impossible to talk about who serves whom, or who is dominant. Ren Hong gave the research team a very difficult task, namely to genetically modify the prehistoric vegetation that will be transplanted to the western reconstruction project in the Taklimakan area in the future. This task is not as difficult as resurrecting prehistoric creatures.
Because the conditions are too harsh, Ren Hong's request is to speed up the reproductive capacity of those prehistoric vegetation and increase the conventional growth several times or even dozens of times. Only in this way can it have a considerable impact on the transformation of the entire western project.
But there are more than one thorny issues, and the subsequent impacts need to be considered. Gene mutations in vegetation are undoubtedly a double-edged sword. Rapidly proliferating vegetation can increase the efficiency of greening the entire Taklimakan Desert. Greening the desert is good. On the one hand, when the entire western region is covered by vegetation, the positive impact will turn into a negative impact. ?? One Reading?·??·
If one fails, it will destroy the surrounding ecological environment. The efficient and rapid reproduction ability of the genetically altered vegetation is also a manifestation of aggressiveness. They will the living space of other plants on the earth, and even cause the extinction of other vegetation. , If a certain ring of the ecosystem is destroyed, it will inevitably affect the entire ecosystem.
These factors that cannot be ignored have to be taken into consideration.
The pensive Ren Hong recalled the negative effects that Yonghua just mentioned. He shook his head and said: "The positive and negative effects are both double-sided, and the negative effects can still be suppressed through human intervention. It is genetic mutation. In terms of plants, in the green forest vegetation of the Western Project, we use as much available vegetation as possible, starting from the available direction, and cutting down a large number of these rapidly expanding plants as wood for artificial materials after dozens of hundreds of years. Play an effective protective role."
Speaking of this, Ren Hong suddenly smiled and said: "At this time, dinosaurs have a reason to exist. We have brought a large number of herbivorous dinosaurs into the ecosystem. These huge guys consume a lot of energy every day. It can well restrain the expansion rate of vegetation, especially the k-mt0178 variety, which specializes in eating vegetation seeds and gymnos for a living."
Ren Hong added:
A normal ecosystem requires a complete food chain. Plant-eating dinosaurs without natural enemies will also destroy the ecosystem and gnaw up all vegetation. Therefore, in order to curb the uncontrolled expansion of plant-eating dinosaurs, we still Some carnivorous dinosaurs that specialize in hunting plant dinosaurs are needed. A complete food chain is a key element that constitutes the ecological rebalance of the Taklimakan region."
"Carnivorous dinosaurs?" Yonghua looked at each other in amazement, "Chairman, I don't think the outside world will agree to let'tyrannosaurus' or'velociraptors' appear on earth. Human beings have a great deal of these fierce top predators. Deep-rooted fear."
"The fear caused by the exaggerated expression of art is nothing more. As long as the dinosaurs are plant-eating or carnivorous, they are extremely dangerous." Ren Hong said dismissively: "But then again, no matter how fast it is. Faster than bullets? No matter how hard the carapace can block armor-piercing bullets? No matter how amazing the bite force can bite off the steel? In my opinion, it is the opposite. The horns on the top of the triceratops head and the teeth of Tyrannosaurus are only more valuable than ivory. Believe me, there will always be some people who will enter the jungle to hunt for them. Don’t forget that human beings are the life at the top of the earth’s food chain."
Yonghua was speechless for a while, and Ren Hong went on to say: "If you want to say that there is a real threat to the people, only pterodactyl is the only thing. Don’t let this thing appear on the earth. As for other predators, we can easily Limit their scope of activities."
After all~EbookFREE.me~ Ren Hong turned on the condensing screen, and the satellite map of the Taklimakan Desert was shown on the display panel. He said:
The Tarim River and the upper and middle reaches of the Xijiang River surrounding the basin are the first to block dinosaurs. The road blockade, and the surrounding mountains and plateaus, the cold and thin air in high-altitude areas are the real life forbidden areas for dinosaurs. Under double insurance, dinosaurs in the Taklimakan area can only be restricted to more than 300,000 square kilometers in the basin, which is enough. ."
Ren Hong pointed to the waters of the rivers surrounding the Taklimakan Desert, saying: "The most deadly is the'Colorado River'-like swamps on both sides of the river. The carnivorous or plant-eating dinosaurs on land, except for Diplodocus, are basically At the same time, we have to introduce some crocodiles into the river as the only top predators underwater, and a large number of giant freshwater catfish, giant eels and other fishes, especially eels, can affect the entire river bank. The activity of marsh peat has a good effect."
Listening to Ren Hong’s analysis, Yonghua nodded silently,
Not surprisingly, the probability of dinosaurs wanting to cross the Tarim River on the Xijiang River is basically zero, let alone the high altitude areas behind.
"However, the Tarim Basin is no longer a tropical area, this needs to be considered." Yonghua added.
