I was blown away by the longing for the live broadcast of the sea

Chapter 530 Take in the baby dodo birds, about their past!
At this time, the sun was setting.

The orange-red sun slanted on the isolated island in the Indian Ocean.

And the baby dodo bird that Lin Yang discovered just now was out of place, and appeared strikingly among the group of blue-footed boobies. It seemed to be the same as this isolated island, lonely and pitiful.

After about ten minutes, Lin Yang approached the dodo chick lightly.

Afterwards, he gently picked up the fragile little guy.

It is like a chick that has just hatched, chirping and chirping.

"Take it back to the yacht to treat the wound briefly, and then feed it something."

While Lin Yang was speaking, he placed the baby dodo bird in Yue'er's hands.

Yue'er held the little guy in both hands, gently embraced it in her arms, and then she said to the audience: "Who knows what the dodo likes to eat? Wait online, it's very urgent."

What does the young Du Miaomiao like to eat?
Lin Yang shrugged and said: "In historical records, they like to eat a kind of fruit called 'big aloe tree'."

Yue'er blinked her eyes and asked back: "Then how about going there to find the fruit of the big aloe tree?"

"Extinct, along with the dodo"

Lin Yang's smile was somewhat helpless, after all, no one knew about raising dodos.

At least for now, humans have never dealt with such creatures.

"Ah, even the trees they depend on are extinct? What a crime." Yue'er shook her head and muttered.

After Lin Yang and Yue Er returned to the yacht together.

The little dodo brought back by them perfectly interpreted what it means to be 'weak, pitiful, and helpless' through the footage of the live broadcast room in the previous few 10 minutes.

When Yue Er was preparing to treat the wound of the baby dodo bird.

Through the equipment on the yacht, Lin Yang copied an email from Oxford University's Center for Zoology and Human Paleontological Molecular Research.

However, the content of this email was unexpected for Lin Yang.

When he checked the email from the Oxford University Research Center, Yueer was in the medical room of the yacht, doing simple injury treatment for the baby dodo bird.

This matter made Yue'er spend a lot of time thinking.

In the footage of the live broadcast room, the baby dodo looked around the medical room with a little fear. Perhaps it was the first time that Lin Yang and Yue'er experienced the warmth of being cared for.

Although it was scared, under Yue'er's worried gaze, it seemed a little more stable.

Although the audience in the live broadcast room were equally worried, it could be seen that the little guy was not seriously injured, but just a little skin trauma.

Now that he was rescued by Lin Yang and Yue'er, it must be impossible for him to die so easily.

Therefore, the barrage message content of sand sculpture netizens is relatively relaxed.

"This little guy is stupid. Although he is a little ugly, he is cute and cute! I am really curious about where the egg that hatched from it was born?"

"Could it be that the little dodo baby recognizes the host and Sister Yue'er as his parents? It seems to be a bit obedient."

"It almost perfectly interprets what is called 'ugly cute' 23333."

"With Sister Yue'er's medical technology, it should recover quickly."

Yue'er frowned and muttered: "Its wings are too small, it's impossible to bandage them. I hope it won't peck the wound with its own beak after disinfection."

Although the audience relaxed their hearts, Yueer showed a worried look like an 'old mother'.

Fortunately, the rescued baby dodo was quite obedient and well-behaved. Yue'er was not a procrastination character at all, so he cleaned and disinfected its wound simply.

As for more medicine, she didn't use it, and after all, its injury was minor, apart from disinfection and cleaning, too much medicine may not be worth the candle!
On this point, Yue'er is still very cautious and meticulous, which is why Lin Yang is relieved of this girl.

For insignificant things, she is always careless, but when dealing with minor issues, she can always consider the details in every possible way.

Maybe this is called roughness and fineness.

After finishing all this, Yue'er wiped the sweat from her forehead, and smiled contentedly.

Immediately afterwards, she said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Next, I have to get something for it to eat. Regarding the temperature and environment it needs, there are more professional issues. Brother Yang has to make a decision. It may take Seek advice from major biological research institutes."

In the live broadcast room, the audience naturally learned about the attitude of professional organizations towards the dodo chicks discovered by Lin Yang through major media platforms and portals of other authoritative research institutes around the world.

Therefore, audiences who don't know much about the species of dodo have a lot of doubts in their hearts
"Is this bird really that precious? Because it's extinct, so it's rare and expensive?"

"I found out on the Internet that there was a 'dodo bird skeleton' before, and it was auctioned for a sky-high price of 400 million US dollars, which is unbelievable!"

"They are precious not because they are extinct. There are many species that have become extinct throughout the ages, and there are many unknown birds, but the dodo is an exception. In other words, they have special historical significance."

As the audience in the live broadcast room said.

It follows the remains of the last recognized dodo in the world, whose bones were donated to Oxford University's Natural History Museum two years after its death.

It has been displayed in the museum to warn mankind in the past, those tragedies of species extinction caused by the abuse of the power and destruction of transforming nature!
Therefore, the dodo can be regarded as a 'historic landmark creature' in the biological research community about extinct species!
After treating the baby dodo's wound, Yue'er asked Lin Yang through the intercom device: "Brother Yang, I've got it done here, how will this little guy be settled next?"

Before Lin Yang could speak.

She then jokingly said, "After all, we have never been in contact with this dodo bird, and we have no experience in caring for it. I am so nervous~"

Although this is the case, in Yueer's opinion, it is undoubtedly a cool thing to rescue and take care of a creature that is only recorded in biological history research materials by humans now!

This feeling is as rare as raising a small dinosaur!
As soon as Yue'er finished speaking, Lin Yang's response came from the communication device.

"Give it some water first, and then put it in a room with a constant temperature to check the situation. I have something special to deal with here. You can come to the cockpit."

Hearing Lin Yang's words.

Yue'er and the audience in the live broadcast room were filled with big question marks.

something special?What is it?

According to Lin Yang's instructions, Yue'er simply placed the baby dodo temporarily.

And a camera is placed separately, and the situation of the chicks can be seen 24 hours a day.

When she came to the driving of the yacht, she saw the email that Lin Yang had received before, and when she saw the sender's signature.

Yue'er was surprised and said, "This is Oxford University's Center for Zoology and Human Biomolecular Research. This research institution has such a long name."

After all, this girl and Lin Yang have traveled a lot by sea so far, and they have come into contact with many global authoritative organizations, but they have never had such a long name.

Lin Yang was speechless for a while, and he couldn't help complaining: "Your focus is really weird to the extreme."

In fact, this research center affiliated to the University of Oxford, Ulster, is rather special.

It consists of two scientists, one from the Department of Zoology and the Department of Paleontology and Molecules of Anthropology.

One is Allen and the other is Beth. The two scholars have previously studied the project, including the extinct dodo bird.
When Yue'er checked the content of the other party's email, she instantly showed a look of surprise.

[Mr. Lin Yang from Longguo, Ms. Yueer, hello, I was very surprised to learn that you found a newborn chick suspected to be a dodo species in the public waters of the Indian Ocean. The extinction of this species is like a scar in human history. , Let every animal scientific research scholar keep in mind.We have devoted ourselves to studying the dodo bird gene for nearly 20 years, and luckily in early 2013, we extracted the active 'dodo bird' DNA sequence from the residual sample. 】

[However, the integrity of the active DNA of the dodo we have extracted cannot be confirmed at present. Based on rational thinking and consideration of the survival of unknown results, we are extremely cautious in implementing the plan to clone the dodo. Today, Mr. Lin Yang discovered this historically significant creature on an isolated island in the Indian Ocean. We hope to preserve its accurate and complete DNA sequence with the permission of Mr. Lin. If in the near future, we can still The possibility of cloning the dodo remains. 】

no doubt.

After reading the email from Oxford University, Yueer's eyes were full of surprise.

"Brother Yang, why did you jump directly from 'animal world' to 'science fiction world'?" She scratched her head and teased with a smile.

Lin Yang shrugged, and then said: "It is not yet possible to determine the number of this kind of creature in the world, but we found this one, which shows that it has not disappeared from the world, but it has been lost in the 300 years. In time, it just disappeared from the sight of human beings."

Not only Lin Yang and Yue'er, but also thousands of sand sculpture netizens in the live broadcast room were completely shocked by the content of this email!

"Fuck, before that, did humans obtain the DN of the transitional dodo? And even thought of cloning this extinct animal? I'm really convinced, awesome!"

"Do you think that the researchers in the Institute of Biology eat dry food all day long? The ideas of the bosses are awesome."

"The key is what the anchor thinks now? The concept of cloning was considered a hot topic at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, but in recent years, no one seems to have mentioned it."

"I'm curious, how did these scientists extract active DNA from the remains of the dodo's skeleton? So, will the complete cloning of a dinosaur that died out in the Jurassic period become a reality in time?"

"Brother in front, you have to determine a concept, that is, the time limit for the survival and preservation of DNA. Judging from the current scientific theory, the retention time of DNA cannot be so long, so your wild idea may not be realized. "

Yue'er took a look at the barrage in the live broadcast room, and the sand sculpture netizens were really brainstorming.

at the same time.

She subconsciously observed Lin Yang's expression from the corner of her eye.

At least in her opinion, Lin Yang is unlikely to agree to the other party's request. After all, the group of dodos still exists on the earth, and there is a great possibility of surviving in groups!
Otherwise, it would be logically unreasonable for them to find that young dodo bird that had just hatched on the isolated island just now.

But Yue'er couldn't accurately guess what Lin Yang would think.

"Brother Yang, how should I reply to this email?"

Before that, among the many letters that Lin Yang dealt with, there were only two kinds of replies.

On the one hand, unify and cooperate with institutions such as Discovery Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and Longguo CCTV.

In addition, more than 9% of the request emails sent by most organizations were rejected by Lin Yang.

What Yue'er and the audience didn't expect was that Lin Yang didn't even think about it, so he said with a smile:

"The idea of ​​preserving the complete DNA sequence of the dodo bird is very worthy of recognition. After all, we don't know how many of this bird are still alive on the earth. Since the other party wants to keep a sample, it can be regarded as avoiding A good idea to make the tragedy of the dodo go extinct again."

After hearing Lin Yang's words, Yue'er's eyes seemed to brighten a lot.

"So, we are sure to answer each other?"

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "Put it aside for now, and decide later."

As soon as he said this, Yue'er scratched her nose, thinking
Isn't this what's happening now?
Why did it become a matter of the future when it came into Xiao Yang's mouth?
Then she said to Lin Yang: "Brother Yang, I have simply treated the wound of the baby dodo according to your instructions, and I am keeping it in the cabin's constant temperature room for observation. I believe it will be impossible. How long will its wound heal, so the question is, what should we do with this baby dodo? Will it be kept on the boat all the time?"

Whether it's Lin Yang, or the audience in the live broadcast room, you can tell it from her expression.

The girl is very much looking forward to raising this baby dodo into a bird.

Anyway, there is only one like this in the whole world, which is too rare!

In the live broadcast room, the audience brainstormed.

"Anyway, the anchor is not short of money, and it shouldn't cost much to raise such a dodo bird. At most, it needs some knowledge about raising it. At least the current human beings don't have this experience."

"I believe that with Miss Yue'er's careful care, the baby dodo will definitely grow up!"

"I've only seen this kind of creature in some biological magazines before, and I also know that they have been extinct for hundreds of years. I didn't expect to be able to see the young bird of such a bird in the live broadcast room of the anchor today. It must be a lot of fun to watch it thrive!"

Although Lin Yang expressed his attitude towards Oxford University's request, he temporarily shelved it.

But he is also very clear in his heart that the research center established by these two scientists has spent so many years of hard work on the progress of the dodo DNA cloning project.

It is precisely because of the trade-off between science and theory, and the caution about the uncertainty of unknown things.

Although two scientists once extracted active DNA from the bones of the dodo, after all, this creature has been extinct on the earth for a long time, and it was more than 300 years ago when science and technology were not yet mature, including Allen and Bess. Including two scientists, they are not sure whether the living DNA extracted from the dodo bone is complete or whether there are mutations.

It is not fun to clone a monster without careful consideration
Reality is not a movie. It is impossible for a professional scientific research institution to take risks and try something with strong uncertainties.

This is why seven or eight years have passed since they extracted the DNA of the dodo in 2013, and the project has still not been advanced.

Yue'er blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at Lin Yang and said, "Brother Yang, what are you thinking?"

The tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room have the same thoughts and doubts as Yueer at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yang said, "I plan to help the baby dodo find its home in the next voyage."

This statement came out.

The audience in the live broadcast room was instantly stunned!

Right now, apart from this baby dodo that has just hatched, there can be no clues about the dodo colony.

So how do you find its home?
The anchor made such a plan, could it be possible that he already has a more realistic and feasible idea?

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room were very curious, what would Lin Yang do next?
Although I don't know Lin Yang's specific plan, Yue'er finds his idea very interesting and meaningful!
Perhaps, in a corner of the world unknown to human beings, there is a group of dodo birds believed to be extinct due to foreign invasion more than 300 years ago!
Yue'er looked at Lin Yang with a smile and said, "Brother Yang, if we can really find a large group of such precious dodos in a certain corner of the world, that would be a very cool thing! "

But Lin Yang shrugged and said, "There are no clues at all. I mean, on the premise of not delaying the sea travel, help it find its home by the way."

While speaking, he glanced at the monitoring equipment in Yue'er's hand.

In the uploaded picture above, the little dodo bird who had just bandaged Yue'er was curiously observing everything in the cabin.

Unlike ordinary birds, this bird is born flightless and has a fat body.

Although the adult dodo is not cute, and it can't be hooked with cuteness, but the juvenile dodo baby looks naive.

In the live broadcast room, the audience really became a big fan of this baby dodo bird!

"I searched on the Internet before, and it was said that their status in the biological world is second only to the extinct dinosaurs in the Jurassic era! This is unbelievable."

"It has such a silly appearance, and it looks timid and timid. I think it must not have the ability to protect itself too shrewdly in the process of human colonization of the island more than 300 years ago."

"Brother in front, in the records about the dodos, the sailors from the Netherlands were the first to discover them. In the language of the Netherlands, the pronunciation of the dodo means stupid."

"In other words, the dodo is the stupid roe deer among birds? Not only is it not afraid of people, but it also doesn't have too much fighting power."

"Get a little knowledge every day."
