Chapter 144

    The embryos cultivated by Du Xingyu have become the treasures of the whole laboratory. Every day, their state is concerned by all laboratory members.


    Not only that, the news that someone from the Biology Department of Peking University has cultivated dinosaur embryos has also spread.


    On the campus forum of Peking University, someone posted: "I heard that someone in the biology department has cultivated dinosaur embryos. Is it true?"


    First floor: "landlord, are you fishing? How is this possible?"


    Second floor: "it''s true! It''s said that Professor Su Yutang took the graduate student! My boyfriend is in their laboratory. Now the whole laboratory regards this as a key project!"


    On the third floor: "???? aren''t you really here to make fun? Dinosaurs have been extinct for tens of millions of years. There is no complete dinosaur gene map in the world. What should we cultivate?"


    Fourth floor: "rumors stop at wise men."


    Fifth floor: "it''s not a rumor. I''ve heard that the candidate''s graduate subject is to study how to clone dinosaurs. It''s been done for more than half a year... As for dinosaur embryos, it should be impossible?"


    Later, "insiders" came forward one after another to show that it really happened.


    "I''m from this laboratory. He''s our younger brother. Our tutor has pushed everything else now and is fully following up this research project!"


    This makes Xueba people excited and want to prove the truth one after another. There are crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the forum, not only academic bullies from all over the country, but also famous professors and scholars sometimes appear here.


    A doctor from the Department of biology named Guan Jun made a long argument on the forum. He wrote: "I''m studying paleontology. I can assure you that no one in the world can clone dinosaurs. First of all, its genetic information has been lost, and we can''t find any reference object. It''s impossible to obtain its DNA sequence!"


    "To say the least, even if he obtained the genetic information of dinosaurs through various means, how would he express these genetic information? How could he cultivate dinosaur cells and even turn them into embryonic stem cells?"


    "As long as the biology graduate student you mentioned can complete any of the above, even if he has not bred dinosaurs, he can become a leader in today''s bioscience! Do you think it is possible?"


    "Is it Dr. Guan Jun?" someone soon replied below, "ah, Dr. Guan Jun is a well-known scholar in paleontology. He said so. It''s basically a rumor. Or it''s sensationalism!"


    "It''s not a way for us to quarrel on the forum. We should find this person and demonstrate it in person. I decided to find it tomorrow and ask for the contact information of this person!"


    "I have!"


    ……


    Du Xingyu didn''t expect that the thing of cultivating dinosaur embryos by himself was suddenly concerned by the whole school. Not only Peking University, but also the students next to Qinghua knew about it.


    "Hello, senior. I''m Siya, a sophomore in the Journalism Department of Peking University, and also a reporter for the Peking University school newspaper." Du Xingyu was stopped when she came out of the laboratory. She was a tall and beautiful girl. Behind her was a male classmate with camera equipment.


    "What can I do for you?" Du Xingyu looked at her and asked.


    "Well," Siya explained, "we heard that you are doing research on cloning dinosaurs and have obtained T-Rex embryos. The students in our school are very interested, so I want to interview you... It won''t take long."


    Du Xingyu hesitated for a moment and said, "only ten minutes."


    "Yes!" Siya was already ready. She asked, "senior, can you shoot? If you don''t want to show your face, we will put mosaic in the later stage."


    "Shoot it." Du Xingyu said simply, and the lens was aimed at him.


    "Thank you. My first question is, senior, are you really studying cloning dinosaurs?" Siya asked with an interview microphone.


    "Yes." Du Xingyu''s answer was very brief.


    Siya was surprised and said, "Wow, it''s true. Why do you want to clone dinosaurs? Do you think it can be done?"


    "The purpose of cloning dinosaurs is to learn and study gene editing and stem cell culture technology, so that it can be applied in other fields in the future." Du Xingyu said. "As for whether it can succeed, it can be said that it has been half successful now. Because I have cultivated some Tyrannosaurus Rex embryos. When they mature, it is possible to hatch Tyrannosaurus Rex."


    Hearing his answer, Siya and the boy in charge of shooting felt a little unconvinced. The purpose of the previous research was still very normal, but he actually said that he had really bred dinosaur embryos? Could also hatch Tyrannosaurus Rex?


    This is going against the sky!


    "It sounds that the seniors are very confident." Siya doesn''t believe it in her heart, but she still says, "there are a lot of arguments about the dinosaur embryos you cultivate in the school forum, and many people doubt that they are not real dinosaur embryos. Can you prove this, seniors?"


    Du Xingyu said directly: "the cultivation of dinosaur embryos must be under strict conditions, and each one is very precious. Now I can''t take it out for you to study. But in more than a month, when the embryos develop into eggs and hatch successfully, I will announce the news again."


    "OK, thank you for your cooperation," said Siya. "We will report truthfully."


    Soon, with a history of more than 100 years, the Peking University school newspaper reported this matter, and the report was fairly fair. It says that Du Xingyu is indeed studying the cloning of Tyrannosaurus Rex, and has achieved some results. But the issue of dinosaur embryos has aroused everyone''s doubts.


    "This is absolutely sensationalism!"


    "I believe he cloned sheep or something. I really can''t believe cloning dinosaurs!"


    "This is bragging. After waiting for more than a month, he just said that all the cloned dinosaur embryos were dead, and we can''t prove it."


    "It''s probably a gimmick with dinosaur embryos."


    ……


    Not only the school newspaper, this news was also reprinted by an online media and sent to the network.


    "Peking University graduate students claim that they have cloned dinosaur embryos and are expected to hatch Tyrannosaurus Rex!"


    This news has attracted the attention of the majority of netizens. Like the students of Peking University, they are also quarrelling on the Internet. According to the mainstream view, it is still impossible.


    Savvy Netizens found Du Xingyu''s Xingguang account and his video log.


    Orange: "@ Suo, I found the account of the student who studied cloning Tyrannosaurus Rex!"


    Sledgehammer 1000: "you want to clone Tyrannosaurus Rex? Are you really a student of Peking University? Shouldn''t it be fake?"


    Mubai: "I wanted to spray it, but I suddenly felt a little reasonable after watching the video in front of you. What should I do?"


    Wing flying: "can the author show you dinosaur embryos?"


    Qingxin after the rain: "if you can clone Tyrannosaurus Rex, it''s a cow batch. Pay attention first and come back in a month!"


    ……


    Du Xingyu doesn''t care about external disputes. Now is the most critical time, because there is no suitable surrogate mother, the risk of embryo cultivation in vitro is very high.


    Du Xingyu used stem cells to cultivate 24 Tyrannosaurus Rex embryos. Half of them were dead before they developed into shape.


    The remaining half slowly developed into formed dinosaur eggs from the anatomy of dead embryos. The team members of the laboratory also found that this is indeed the embryo of some ancient creature!


    This discovery surprised them. The whole research group became Du Xingyu''s helper, analyzing all kinds of data every day to help create a simulated maternal environment suitable for embryonic development.


    Ten days later, after sacrificing seven more samples, Du Xingyu finally got five T-Rex eggs!


    These T-Rex eggs are between 20 cm and 30 cm in diameter. As a large predator, T-Rex eggs are not as big as people think.


    Because of the excessive volume, the egg shell will not bear the pressure and break.


    "Next, it''s time to hatch." Du Xingyu prepared the light incubation equipment and incubated it in an incubator like an egg.


    "It''s time to hatch at last!" Pang Yan and others are nervous. Although this is Du Xingyu''s research topic, they are now devoted to these T-Rex eggs.


    "Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in a different environment," Bao Xian said. "Air composition, bacteria, temperature, humidity..."


    "Maybe it will die because of acclimatization when it was born. We must make a biological culture cabin that simulates the living environment of Tyrannosaurus Rex in the late Cretaceous!"


    "We are not sure about the specific environment at that time," Zhu LianBo said. "We need to do more training modules with control variables to increase the fault tolerance rate."


    Don''t mention them, even Du Xingyu''s mentor, Su Yutang. A well-known professor in the Department of biology of Peking University and an academician of the Academy of Sciences also run to the laboratory every day and care about the five dinosaur eggs.


    The hatching process was not smooth, during which three dinosaur eggs died for various reasons.


    Finally, only the two healthiest T. rex eggs are still developing.


    Through the spotlight, they can see that the small dinosaurs in the dinosaur eggs are gradually developing and forming.


    "In three days, within three days, they should be able to break their shells!" the whole laboratory was excited and stared at these dinosaur eggs all the time.


    At the time of hatching, the laboratory team, including everyone in Su Yutang, stayed in the incubator nervously.


    It''s like a father waiting for his child to be born.


    Only Du Xingyu remained calm. After he obtained Su Yutang''s permission, he took pictures of hatching with his mobile phone and broadcast it live on his account.


    Because of the previous news effect, about 100000 more people pay attention to Du Xingyu, many of them are students of Peking University, Qinghua and other universities.


    "Hello everyone, I''m Du Xingyu." Du Xingyu said in the live studio, "today is the day when dinosaur eggs will hatch successfully. Now I open the live broadcast and wait for the little dinosaur to break its shell."


    "I''m not sure when, but it should be within five hours."


    "Anchor, are you serious?" the audience immediately left a message.


    "Sleeping trough, live hatching Tyrannosaurus Rex? Really?"


    "Such a big egg, can''t it be an ostrich egg?"


    "It''s not ostrich eggs. I''ve seen ostrich eggs. Ostrich eggs are not so big. What kind of eggs is this?"


    "If this can hatch Tyrannosaurus Rex, I''ll live broadcast x five gear electric fan!"


    "I think it''s a model!"


    "No, no? No, some people really think it''s a dinosaur egg?"


    More and more people watched the live broadcast and had quarreled on the bullet screen.


    In the school forum of Peking University, someone also posted: "Du Xingyu, who wants to clone dinosaurs, is hatching dinosaur eggs live. This is the address%##... Is it true or false? You can go and have a look!"


    First floor: "how dare he broadcast it live? I''ll go and have a look!"


    Second floor: "I''m just saying why he hasn''t made a sound recently. Brothers, I''ll go to the real hammer first!"


    Third floor: "hype again? It''s endless!"


    ……


    All these students rushed into Du Xingyu''s live studio to watch the incubation process.


    But an hour later, there was no movement between the two dinosaur eggs.


    "The anchor won''t fool us with a model?"


    "Reported, this is lying to a fool!"


    While the audience was quarrelling, there was a slight sound of egg shell rupture. A crack appeared on a dinosaur egg. It seemed that something wanted to come out!
