The helicopter flew across the sea and landed on a parking apron in a canyon in the center of the island. There, three cars were already waiting. Hammond quickly beckoned for them to board the vehicles and head into the depths of the island.
"Mr. Fangzheng, what is this place?"
Of course, Cleya noticed the barbed wire fences and various heavily-guarded installations around her. She couldn't understand why. If this was a military base, the security here was too lax. But if this was just an ordinary facility, there shouldn't be so many barbed wire fences and high walls, right?
However, Fangzheng's answer was out of Cleya's expectations.
"This is a park."
"..... park?"
"That's right."
"But....."
Cleya frowned and scanned her surroundings. No matter how she looked at it, this place didn't look like a park at all. This isolated island was heavily guarded. If you said this was some sort of secret research base or prison, Cleya might have believed it. But if you said this was a park? Cleya didn't know how to react.
"Hehehe, you'll know when you see it."
Fangzheng leaned back in his chair and chuckled as he surveyed his surroundings. Of course, he didn't have any friendship with Hammond. In fact, this was the result of Fangzheng altering the world's reality with the help of 'The Banners'. To put it bluntly, Fangzheng had set himself as one of the shareholders of Jurassic Park. Then, he came up here to take a look at the completed park.... wasn't that normal?
As for the investigation of Starlight Technology, Fangzheng naturally erased it with a single stroke. Therefore, agents from all over the world who were busy investigating which crack of a rock Starlight Technology popped out from yesterday might have gone on vacation to pick up girls today.
On this island, Cleya wouldn't be able to find anything even if she wanted to investigate. Wouldn't looking at the dinosaurs be the end of the story?
Soon, just like in the movie, the group arrived at the interior of the island. Here, they finally saw the main product of Jurassic Park -- the dinosaurs.
The two archaeologists were naturally jumping up and down in excitement. The others were also dumbfounded. On the other hand, Fangzheng and Klaia were quite calm.
After all, the former had traversed countless worlds and seen things more terrifying than dinosaurs. As for the latter, although he was shocked by the size of the behemoth in front of him, that was all.
In terms of terrifying power, there were many magical beasts on the Semlia Continent.
"Mr. Fangzheng, why are they so agitated?"
Seeing that the two of them were so excited that they couldn't stand steadily, Kleiya asked in a low voice. In her opinion, it wasn't strange for them to be frightened by such a colossal creature, but it was a little unbelievable for them to be this excited.
"Because this is an animal that has been extinct for tens of millions of years."
Fangzheng also leaned over to Krya's ear and explained in a low voice.
"In this world, a long, long time ago, it wasn't humans that ruled. These behemoths were the true rulers of Earth. After they went extinct, humans stepped out and became the masters of this world. These two are archaeologists.... Well, you can imagine how excited historians who specialize in studying the Age of Cataclysm would be if they saw a person who lived during the Age of Cataclysm appear in front of them. "
"I see. I understand now."
Hearing this, Krya nodded. She looked at the dinosaurs in front of her again.
".... But Mr. Fangzheng, how did these dinosaurs go extinct? From what I can see, their bodies are massive, and their strength is formidable. Even in the Semulian continent, such a monster would be hard to exterminate … …. "
"The Cataclysm. You can imagine that at that time, the world experienced a cataclysm similar to the Great Collapse. At that time, most of the creatures and plants in the world were destroyed. Only a few survived. They survived the Dark Age and ruled the world again."
"But.... Didn't they say that these creatures went extinct? Why would they appear here? "
Looking at the large number of dinosaurs by the lake not far away, Krya still couldn't hide her doubts. On the other hand, Fangzheng chuckled.
"Just watch and you'll know.
Therefore, just like in the movie, Hammond brought them to the small theater. There, Krya finally understood how they resurrected creatures from millions of years ago.... Hmm, Hammond's science video was really well done. Even Krya, a person from another world, could understand it. Just this point alone, Fangzheng had to give it a thumbs up.
"Truly unimaginable."
Standing behind the crowd and watching the two archaeologists carefully examining the dinosaur egg, Cleya finally let out a sigh of relief.
"There's actually such technology in this world. Just by relying on the blood of mosquitoes from millions of years ago, they can resurrect creatures from that era...."
Speaking till here, Krya was startled and subconsciously approached Fangzheng.
"Your Excellency Fangzheng, does that mean that as long as they obtain a drop of my blood, they can.... that.... clone another me?"
"Theoretically, yes. But in reality, nobody does it. After all, human cloning is an arduous and unrewarding job."
Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders. It could be said that human cloning was the rubbish heap of cloning technology. The worst parts of cloning technology were all here. But apart from that, cloning technology only brought benefits to mankind.
Not to mention the dinosaurs in front of them, they could also clone animals that were on the verge of extinction. Perhaps, some cute species could even become pets. Apart from that, cloning limbs and internal organs was also a very important technology. After all, many surgeries required the replacement of the heart, kidney or liver.... in the past, they could only wait for a donation and match.
However, once cloning technology matured, they could completely clone a patient's internal organs and replace them. They wouldn't have to worry about matching anymore.
"Is that so ….? But I feel that human cloning …. "
"Human cloning isn't as simple as just copying and pasting."
Fangzheng pointed to the little dinosaur that was trying its best to break out of its shell.
"You see, let's say I want to clone a human. With current technology, I'd have to raise them from an infant. Wouldn't that cost money? Whether I plan to clone a group of people as soldiers or slaves, at least before they grow up, these are all sunk costs. There's no profit to be made. Of course, when the technology develops further in the future, there might be a market in the black market for cloning an adult, for example, to make sex dolls or something. But that's about it. "
At this point, Fangzheng shrugged and curled his lips. To be honest, in Fangzheng's opinion, human cloning was really useless. Even if it was a sex doll, it would definitely be better if it was mechanically made. Therefore, human cloning was basically a rubbish heap of cloning technology. No one would do it if they had nothing better to do.
Even the evil villains in Hollywood movies wouldn't do it …. Clones were, after all, living beings with their own thoughts. They might rebel at any time. If you want something that doesn't go west, you'd better invest in robots.
At the very least, a robot could install as many hands as it wanted, as many eyes as it wanted, and as many eaves and walls as it wanted ….
Therefore, be it from the perspective of commercial investment, social morality or combat, human clones were basically worthless toys.
"… I understand. But Sir Fangzheng, I have another question."
"Hmm?"
"What's a sex doll?"
"… … …"
After that, it was naturally lunchtime.
By now, the three scientists had recovered from the shock of seeing a dinosaur for the first time. At the dining table, they started expressing their opinions. In conclusion, none of them felt that Hammond's decision to clone a dinosaur for a park was a correct one. This caused Hammond to feel rather embarrassed. After all, he invited these scientists here to evaluate the park, but ….. from the looks of it, the only ones who supported the opening of the park were himself and the board's lawyer ….
Oh, right.
"Mister Fangzheng, what's your opinion?"
Hammond hurriedly asked Fangzheng, who was eating in silence. Upon hearing Hammond's question, Fangzheng raised his head and drank a mouthful of champagne. Then, he wiped his mouth and leaned back in his chair with a smile.
"My opinion ….. Hmm, I've heard the three scientists' opinion. But in my opinion, their opinion can be described as … … meaningless."
"… … Eh?"
Hearing this, the three turned to Fangzheng. Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Everyone, you've said so much just now, but you can't deny the fact that dinosaurs have already been cloned here. And it's not just a few kittens, but a whole group. Your opinions were still meaningful before the project was established, but now, your opinions can't solve the problem. "
"Hmm ….."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the man and woman next to him revealed awkward expressions. Just as Fangzheng said, they were only pointing out the problem, but they didn't propose a solution. However, the other man in a black leather jacket, who looked more like a rock star than a scientist, shook his head.
"It's not that simple. I think you're looking at heredity too simply. Its power isn't something that can be easily played with. Dinosaurs had a chance to exist, but natural selection caused them to perish ….."
At this moment, the other man also spoke up.
"I don't want to come to a conclusion immediately, but dinosaurs and humans, two species separated by 65 million years in the history of evolution, converged in the same space-time. We simply can't predict ….. what will happen?"
"Isn't that perfect?"
However, in response to the two's rebuttal, Fangzheng crossed his arms.
"I think you might have forgotten. Everyone, how did we humans become the rulers of this world? It wasn't because of the gift of God, nor was it because we lived in a peaceful Garden of Eden. It was our ancestors, our predecessors, who conquered and defeated one terrifying and powerful species after another, finally standing at the top of the food chain on Earth. Dinosaurs were indeed powerful, and we have no understanding of their habits. But so what? Back then, our ancestors ate raw meat and drank blood, never retreating in the face of saber-toothed tigers and mammoths. The threats they faced in the jungle weren't any lesser than the dinosaurs. But in the end, those animals went extinct, and only we humans survived. Moreover, we have been reproducing till today, becoming the masters of Earth. "
As he spoke, Fangzheng turned to Hammond.
"I won't say that this park is absolutely safe or won't have any accidents. There are always accidents, but I believe that one or two accidents won't change anything. Perhaps these dinosaurs will indeed cause some harm to us, or perhaps they will exceed our expectations. However, even if we have to fight again on Earth, we won't fear competition. After all, the reason why we humans have survived till now isn't because of charity or bestowment, but the results of our own hard work. If dinosaurs didn't go extinct back then, who knows, they might be like elephants or tigers now; frequent visitors to zoos. "
"… … …"
Hearing Fangzheng's overbearing words, the three scientists were momentarily speechless. Meanwhile, Hammond clapped his hands vigorously.
"Well said, Mr. Fangzheng! That's right, that's it!! "
"You're welcome, it's just a small opinion of mine."
Facing Hammond's words, Fangzheng smiled and nodded.
"But I still have a question."
"Question?"
"That's right."
As he spoke, Fangzheng raised the table knife in his hand.
"Is dinosaur meat delicious?"
