Chapter 430

Ren Hong returned to the company's headquarters, and the next day Yonghua, the person in charge of the k-3018 Institute, got in touch with him the next day.

When they came to the k-3018 Institute of prehistoric biology, Ren Hong and Yonghua stood on the corridor of the fenced platform. They were in a huge spherical canopy wrapped in the corridor. From the outside to the inside, they looked like a huge hemispherical observatory. The outside could not see the inside, but the sunlight could absorb the inside.

Inside the fence is an independent ecological environment. A huge Triceratops rushed out of the jungle, with its horns fiercely against the edge of the fence. Standing in the corridor at the top of the fence, Yonghua looked at the dinosaurs below and said to Ren Hong, "Chairman, for the huge dreaded dragon, closed ecological space is not always a solution. In the final analysis, the site is too small Now, these Triceratops have become manic recently. We are suppressing their nature. Their behavior is telling us that they want to return to nature

This is indeed an urgent problem. Ren Hong stares at the Triangle dragon which is constantly hitting the metal wall below. He is silent for a moment, "go ahead and talk about it later."

When they arrived at the room, Ren Hong said, "the dinosaur project and the western project complement each other. At present, the scientific research group is improving the vegetation gene to make it have faster reproductive capacity. By the way, how is the genetic transformation of the plant line going?"

"The progress is normal, but it is very difficult to artificially control the evolution trend of vegetation genes in the future. Even if it is successful, we have to consider the negative effects brought by the follow-up." Yonghua replied.

Ren Hong covered his mouth with his fingers crossed and fell into a burst of meditation.

The western project and the dinosaur project are both in a concomitant relationship, not to mention who serves for whom or who is the leader. Ren Hong, however, assigned a very difficult task to the scientific research group, that is, to carry out genetic transformation on the prehistoric vegetation transplanted to the Western reconstruction project of Taklimakan region in the future. This task is as difficult as reviving prehistoric organisms.

Because of the harsh conditions, Ren Hong's requirement is to speed up the reproduction of the prehistoric vegetation and increase it several times or even dozens of times under the conventional growth. Only in this way can we have a considerable impact on the reconstruction of the entire western project.

However, there is more than one thorny problem, and the consequent impact needs to be considered more. Gene mutation of vegetation is undoubtedly a double-edged sword. The rapid growth of vegetation can improve the efficiency of greening the whole Taklimakan Desert. Before greening the desert, it is a good side, but when the whole western region is covered by vegetation, the positive impact will turn into negative impact.

A bad one will destroy the surrounding ecological environment. The highly efficient and rapid reproduction ability of the vegetation after gene mutation is also an expression of aggression. They will seize the living space of other plants on the earth, and even cause the extinction of other vegetation. If a certain link of the ecosystem is damaged, it will inevitably affect the entire ecosystem.

These factors that cannot be ignored have to be taken into account.

Thinking back to the negative impact Yonghua had just mentioned, Ren Hong shook his head and said, "both positive and negative effects are double band, and the negative effects can be suppressed by human intervention. As far as the plants with gene mutation are concerned, we should try our best to use some available vegetation in the green forest vegetation of the western project, starting from the available direction After a decade or so, cutting down these fast-growing plants and using them as wood for artificial materials can provide effective protection

Speaking of this, Ren Hong suddenly said with a smile: "at this time, dinosaurs have a reason to exist. We have brought a large number of herbivorous dinosaurs into the ecosystem. These giant creatures need to consume a lot of energy every day, which can well inhibit the expansion rate of vegetation, especially k-mt0178, which is specialized in eating vegetation seeds and naked seeds."

Ren Hong added: "a normal ecosystem needs a complete food chain. Herbivorous dinosaurs without natural enemies will also destroy the ecosystem and eat all the vegetation. Therefore, in order to curb the uncontrolled expansion of plant eating dinosaurs, we also need some carnivorous dinosaurs specialized in hunting plant eating dinosaurs. A complete food chain is composed of Taklimakan Key elements of regional ecological rebalancing. "

"Carnivorous dinosaurs?" Yonghua looked at each other in surprise. "Chairman, I don't think the outside world will agree to let Tyrannosaurus Rex or Velociraptor appear on the earth. Human beings have deep-rooted fear of these fierce top predators."

"The fear brought about by the exaggeration of art is nothing more than that. As long as dinosaurs are herbivorous or carnivorous, they are extremely dangerous." Ren Hong said disapprovingly: "but then again, how fast is the bullet? How hard a shell can block armor piercing bullets? Can the amazing bite force break the fine steel? In my opinion, on the contrary, the horns of Triceratops and the teeth of T. rex would only be more valuable than ivory. Believe me, there will always be some people who will go into the jungle to kill for them. Don't forget that human beings are the life standing at the top of the food chain on earth

As for the other predators, Yonghua said, "we have to limit the scope of their activities to the people."

After that, Ren Hong opened the spotlight screen, and the display panel showed the satellite map of Taklimakan desert area. He said: "the Tarim River and the middle and upper reaches of Xijiang River around the basin are the first blockade line to block dinosaurs. If you look at the mountains and plateaus all around, the cold and thin air in high altitude areas are the real forbidden areas of dinosaurs' life, and the double insurance of Taklimakan desert is double insurance The dinosaurs in the Magan area can only be limited to 300000 square kilometers in the basin, which is enough. "Ren Hong pointed to the rivers and waters around the Taklimakan desert area and said: "the most fatal is the" Colorado River "swamp on both sides of the river. The carnivorous dinosaurs or plant eating dinosaurs on the land, except for the Lianglong, basically died. At the same time, we need to introduce some crocodiles into the river as the only top predators under the water. A large number of giant freshwater catfish, giant eels and other fish, especially eel species, can play an important role in the activity of the swamp peat along the river bank

Yonghua listened to Ren Hong's analysis and nodded silently, "no surprise, the probability that dinosaurs want to cross the Xijiang Tarim River is basically zero, not to mention the high altitude areas behind."

"However, the Tarim Basin is no longer tropical, which needs to be considered." Yonghua added.
