Chapter 707 Possible Reasons for the Extinction of Dinosaurs

Does China lack astronauts?

lack!
The "Guanghangong" space station and the "Moon Base" in lunar orbit all need astronauts, and the construction of the "Double Ring Space Station" also requires a large number of astronauts. Even if the space center continues to recruit astronauts and expand the astronaut team, it is still very difficult lack of astronauts.

After all, astronauts not only go to space missions, but also go to the Space Force, and the Space Force also needs a large number of astronauts.

And foreign astronauts can only be a very small number of supplements, after all, it involves the issue of 'trust'.

In order to expand the team of astronauts, as early as 10 years ago, CNSA established a brand-new astronaut center in Chang'an City, forming two astronaut centers with the Beijing Astronaut Center, one east and one west, and providing CNSA with a batch of qualified astronauts every year. astronaut.

But that's it. The shortage of astronauts in China is still very large, and each generation of astronauts has the mission of a generation of astronauts. Now the post-10s are starting to emerge astronauts who go into space.Undoubtedly, from a comprehensive perspective, the astronauts born in the 10th generation are the most outstanding. Whether in terms of identity or knowledge, this generation grew up in the era of China's rapid development and entered the era of the fourth industrial revolution. New things, their ability to accept new things is the highest.

Maybe it won't be long before a batch of post-20s will emerge, one generation after another, carrying on the same torch, and there will be no shortage of people.

On this day, Qin Yuanqing came to the laboratory.

"Boss, good news, the production capacity of 'delaying aging' genetic medicine has broken through, and our laboratory's production capacity can reach 50 a year!" Yan Ning reported to Qin Yuanqing with joy, sharing the joyful news .

"Oh? How did you make a breakthrough? Tell me!" Qin Yuanqing smiled. Don't look at the expansion from 20 'delaying aging' genetic medicines a year to 50. This represents the achievements of Yan Ning and others' research. A huge breakthrough has been made, otherwise it will be impossible, and the raw materials will limit the production capacity.

What is limited to the 'delay aging' gene medicine is not the process or the production line, but the raw materials. Those raw materials are very precious and rare, but they are synthesized by industrial means. I don't know why the ingredients are the same and the amount is the same, but the effect is gone.

"When we were studying the dinosaur bones, we found that the dinosaur bones contained a strange factor, which could replace the unique elements in the thousand-year-old snow lotus and snow lotus, and the 'delayed aging' genetic medicine produced had the same effect! " Yan Ning said.

When Qin Yuanqing heard the words, his heart couldn't help but move.

Dinosaurs, once the overlords of the earth, ruled the earth for more than 6000 million years. From the Triassic period 3000 million years ago to the late Cretaceous period 500 million years ago, dinosaurs were the undisputed overlords of the earth. level.

For dinosaurs, since humans discovered many strange-shaped huge bone fossils in 1842 and created the term, humans have been full of curiosity about this huge species for nearly 200 years, and they have been studying dinosaurs.Since the discovery of dinosaur fossils in Antarctica in 1989, there have been dinosaur remains on all seven continents of the world. More than 800 genera and more than 1000 species of dinosaurs have been discovered.And there is no doubt that dinosaurs are very large in size, and there are even ones like Tyrannosaurus rex that are considered to be the overlord of dinosaurs.

People are studying dinosaurs, and they want to know why dinosaurs are so huge, so powerful, and why they died out. Various researches have produced many results.Some scientists even obtained the blood of dinosaurs, intending to reproduce dinosaurs through cloning, and show living dinosaurs in this world.

It's a pity that although cloning technology is quite advanced, no scientist or institution has successfully cloned dinosaurs so far.

Now Qin Yuanqing is thinking about a question, that is, why do dinosaur fossils contain this strange factor, is it unique to dinosaurs, or is it common to creatures of that era?
Of course, this is good news. Thousand-year-old snow lotus and thousand-year-old ginseng are hard to come by, but dinosaur fossils are not difficult to obtain. Not to mention that there are a large number of dinosaur fossils in China, even through trading, a large number of dinosaur fossils can also be obtained.

This means that the 'delayed aging' gene medicine can not only produce 50 pieces per year, but can produce 100 pieces, 1000 pieces or even 10000 pieces!
If it can be researched, this kind of strange factor is possessed by creatures in the era of dinosaurs, which means that the 'delaying aging' genetic medicine can even be produced industrially, and if it is optimistic, it can even be popularized to receive the 'delaying aging' genetic medicine.

"This is really the best news I've heard this year!" Qin Yuanqing said with a smile, and then began to check the experimental records. These experimental records will eventually be aggregated to the laboratory server, and Qin Yuanqing has the authority to view any data.

Qin Yuanqing read the information for more than an hour, pondered for a while, and his mind continued to spin rapidly. He did not expect that Yan Ning and others could extract this strange factor through the study of dinosaur bones. They have limited knowledge of this strange factor. This strange factor is an important substance to activate human cells, like a key.

Qin Yuanqing was wondering if the dinosaurs were hiding some secrets, why there was such a strange factor in the body of the dinosaurs, but not in the human beings or the current life on earth.In the age of dinosaurs, did creatures at that time have a longer lifespan, and the secret of a longer lifespan contained this strange factor!

Also, how did the dinosaurs become extinct?
There are several existing theories about the extinction of dinosaurs. The more accepted one is that the impact of asteroids on the earth triggered volcanic eruptions in the earth's crust, and the drastic changes in the earth's environment led to the extinction of dinosaurs and the mass extinction of life.A very strong evidence for this statement is that Li Yang, a Chinese paleontologist and physicist, published a paper at Yale University in 2009 that caused a sensation in the international paleontological community. A high concentration of iridium was found in the K-T line formation of Ruburt Crater, which was more than twice the normal content of 6534.83.Such high concentrations of iridium can only be found in meteorites in space, and the earth itself cannot exist.According to the precise determination of the iridium element content around the Gulf of Mexico, it was an asteroid-like material that not only hit the Central American region of the earth, but also broke through the crust, causing the magma inside the earth to spurt violently, and the impact caused a super volcanic eruption. The isotope content of the ancient Mara rocks shows that the power of this eruption is far higher than the maximum energy of the Yellowstone super volcano. The whole earth is covered by thick volcanic ash and poisonous gas. The creatures on the earth have not seen the sun and the moon for a long time, so plants Unable to photosynthesize, the oxygen content in the atmosphere is extremely low. Judging from the death posture of most dinosaurs, they were very painful before death. This is completely a natural response to hypoxia.

This statement has been found by research, and the assumption is relatively reasonable. It is a good synthesis of the previous theory of alien celestial body impact and volcanic eruption.

The second theory is the sudden change of the earth's gravity, which puts forward a hypothesis that the earth's gravity suddenly increased about 6500 million years ago. This change was obviously a disaster for giants such as dinosaurs.The aggravation of gravitational force makes this kind of organisms be in unfavorable survival state on the movement, blood circulation, heart pressure and the circulation of relatively large plant nutrient water system.In order to adapt to sudden changes in environmental gravity, animals and organisms in this period evolved in size and structure, and animals and plants in this period became relatively shorter than those 1 million years ago.

Of course, there are various hypotheses, such as the theory of geomagnetic changes, the theory of continental drift, the theory of species struggle, and so on.

But Qin Yuanqing thought, since aliens have added genetic locks to life on earth, will the birth of dinosaurs be also the handiwork of aliens, including the extinction of dinosaurs, is it driven by aliens to drive asteroids to hit the earth or Changing the gravity or magnetic field of the earth to cause a mass extinction?

For this possibility, Qin Yuanqing thinks it is very possible. Although it is unimaginable, driving an asteroid to hit a planet, let alone anything, can be done with China's aerospace technology now.

As for why the aliens wiped out the dinosaurs, is there some kind of change in the dinosaurs, which was beyond the expectations of the aliens, causing the aliens to kill them, and they did not hesitate to bring a mass extinction to the earth.Just like when a human being conducts an experiment, at the end of the experiment, the petri dish is disposed of, and all kinds of bacteria in the petri dish are eliminated.

And what changes will happen to dinosaurs? Thinking of the huge body and powerful power of dinosaurs, Qin Yuanqing wondered whether such a powerful species of dinosaurs itself was beyond the expectations of aliens, resulting in genetic mutations and breakthroughs. Got a gene lock?
Thinking of this, Qin Yuanqing felt that it was necessary to increase research on dinosaurs, such as extracting DNA from dinosaur fossils, or conducting further research on dinosaur eggs and dinosaur blood.

Qin Yuanqing asked Yan Ning to expand the production of 'delaying aging' genetic medicine, and then wrote an application report, applying for four 'delaying aging' genetic medicines to Yan Ning and the others. At the same time, Qin Yuanqing wrote an application and called biologists and paleontologists to form a The team of 'Resurrecting Dinosaurs' studied dinosaurs and creatures of the same period to explore the mystery of life on Earth 6500 million years ago.

Qin Yuanqing always believes that since human beings are endowed with extremely high intelligence, they should not have such weak bodies and short life spans. This is problematic.

Even if it was the work of an alien, Qin Yuanqing also wanted to catch the alien one day, beat the alien severely, and then slice the alien for research, so as to vent his anger.

Even if the alien's technology is very advanced, even if the alien's intelligence is very high, he can't be treated as an experimental product and played with in his hands.
