Chapter 452

Although Yang Tianwen is not young this year, his physical function has gradually begun to decline.

But as a top biologist, his thinking ability has not regressed at all.

It can be said that almost all the questions he raised were pressed on the key points of the snake centipede:

Is there a relationship between spine and metaplasia?

Is thunder robbery reductive or evolutionary?

And why can the material of the spine carry thunder, but it can be successfully cut off by the third-order scalpel?

But unfortunately.

Because there are too few samples of local monsters, I'm afraid these three questions will be difficult to answer for a while.

While Yang Tianwen and Luo Feng were discussing the possibility of spine.

Previously, the sweet man who planned to name the snake centipede WuFan ran over again with his sheep's horn braid:

"Yang Lao, Luo Xuechang, the snake centipede biological model after the thunder robbery has been simulated and restored by our information engineering team!"

Yes, the information engineering team.

This little girl who looks like a bean sprout with a height of only 1.4 meters is actually a

Program ape!

Or to be exact.

He is the chief Algorithm Engineer of biology laboratory and animal native information simulation engineering team of Sichuan University.

In this experiment.

The whole team has only one task:

Through the comparison of biological skeleton fossils, the theoretical appearance of organisms is restored by algorithm.

Although there are real corpse samples of snake centipedes in the laboratory, the third-order monster obviously belongs to the category of biological 'evolution'.

Just like the concept of fighting Tyrannosaurus Rex and Asian ancient beast.

There must be a great difference between the third-order body and its primary state.

Especially after the spine was shrunk by the thunder, the sweet task came:

The corresponding biological model of snake centipede and spine is simulated to provide image reference for relevant research.

Tell the truth.

This is not a simple job.

After all, biology is not the same as PS, so we can't set a formula.

It doesn't mean that your spine is shortened to a few percent and the overall animal size is reduced proportionally.

for instance.

The skin swallow malpicki's tube of a centipede is a very strange shape, similar to a tangled wireworm.

But actually.

There is a special linear correlation between it and the quiet stomach of centipede.

That is, y = X β+ε Almost all centipedes conform to this convergence.

So why is mathematics a life discipline? It's because there are too many biological data closely related to mathematics.

There's a good saying.

Mathematics can never explain life, but at present, mathematics is used in all explanations of life.

The deeper you go, the more you will marvel at the beauty and mystery of life.

Yes, of course.

Many rare students have no chance to go deep because of their poor math scores. Instead, they hang themselves from the southeast branch and hang themselves from a tall tree.

Look back.

Then, under the leadership of sweet, Yang Tianwen and others came to the computer center of the laboratory.

Students in Chengdu should have heard that as the Western high-tech center, Chengdu has established the first National Supercomputing Center in the western region.

However, compared with its official name, Chengdu people prefer to call it silicon cube.

After all, the blue cube is too fussy.

The highest computing speed of silicon cube reaches 1 billion times, ranking in the top 10 in the world.

Therefore, with the help of relevant computing power.

In a very short time, the sweet team successfully restored the original model of the snake centipede.

This is a giant centipede three or four meters long, with a transverse width of sixty or seventy centimeters. It is very flat.

It can be seen by the naked eye alone. There is no small difference between this image and snake centipede.

If you insist on description.

The original three-level body snake centipede was like a voice anchor, while the latter was like a real person who turned off the beauty filter and then removed his makeup.

"Body length is 3.5 meters... Weight is close to one ton... Olfactory synapses are much more developed than corpses..."

Look at the restored model in front of you.

Yang Tianwen made a comment on his mouth, but his eyebrows wrinkled slightly:

"In terms of image... Why is it so like an ancient centipede?"

Sweet dessert nodded:

"Yes, it's a bit like an ancient centipede.

We compared the feces and intestinal fossils of ancient centipedes in the database and found that the coincidence of the two is very high.

So I personally think.

This snake centipede may have some ancient centipede blood. "

Ancient centipede.

This is a creature that lived 300 million years ago, that is, in the Carboniferous era.

The body length of ancient centipede can reach 8.6 feet, about 2.6 meters.

However, an ancient centipede fossil with only a head was found in western Germany, which may be more than 3.5 meters in length.

When it comes to the ancient centipede, we have to talk about another noun.

That's ancient Malu.

In many marketing numbers.

Ancient centipede and ancient Malu are two species, and like Dengshi fish, they are extremely exaggerated.

And actually.

According to a fisherman's personal understanding of an associate researcher of Chengdu Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is determined that ancient Malu is actually the same species as ancient centipede.

It's just that ancient Malu is one of the vegetarian subspecies.

This is actually more intuitive from the English name.

For example, the scientific name of the ancient centipede is arthropleuraarmata.

Ancient Malu is arthropleura.

Like the difference between civet cat and meiduan, they are not the so-called two species at all.

The ancient centipede is the largest arthropod ever found and one of the first invertebrates on land. It can almost be pulled full.

"300 million years ago... 3000 years ago..."

Yang Tianwen repeated the time when the ancient centipede and snake centipede appeared, saying:

"Obviously, this time interval will not be straight inheritance, and it seems difficult to use other means.

So is it... Blood ancestry? "

atavism.

This is also a common situation in biology.

For example, Yu Zhenhuan, a hairy child more than ten years ago, was considered to have returned to his ancestors at that time.

Yes, of course.

Now the one in Zhenhuan has got married and established a business. What is outrageous is that he is still bald.

This is really a sad story

Except humans.

Animals also have some atavism.

One of the most closely related examples of atavism is the crocodile Gustav, an ancient master.

Friends who know crocodiles should know.

Among crocodiles, alligators are often the largest.

For example, the famous Luolong, Kalia, the king of Cambodia and so on.

As a Nile crocodile, the ancient Yezi has a body size of at least 5.5 meters, almost twice that of other similar species. (if you are interested, you can go to station B to search Gustav. It's very interesting)

Therefore, many biologists believe that the ancient master is a typical representative of body atavism.

meanwhile.

Luo Feng beside Yang Tianwen suddenly thought of something.

He first turned around and said sorry to Yang Tianwen, and then searched in the computer file:

"March file... January file... Last October... Found it!"

Luo Feng's mouse hovered over a file marked 'July 23, 2022, chixian City siege':

"Old Yang, among the seven second-order monsters in the siege, one black wind snake is obviously larger than other similar monsters.

Later, it was tested

It seems that there are some characterization states in its body, which is consistent with the local pterosaur fossils.

But there was no other sign or evidence at that time, so the matter was only recorded in the file.

The earliest appearance of pterosaur was at the end of the Late Triassic, which was actually the same time period as the ancient centipede! "

Yang Tianwen hurried forward:

"Eh? Really? What about the backbone of the demon snake?"

"It's not recorded in the file."

Luo Feng shook his head and then looked at Wei Fan:

"But patriarch Wei may have some impression. He was at the scene at that time."

At present, Wei Fan's external identity is still instructor Wei from the superior department.

However, for core researchers such as Yang Tianwen, Wei Fan's true identity is not a secret.

Hearing Luo Feng's words, Wei Fan thought seriously:

"At that time, the monster died in the hands of the second ancestor, and its remains were covered by subsequent fire. If you remember correctly, most of its skeleton was destroyed on the spot.

Although I don't know where the rest went in the end, the material is certainly not as good as the snake centipede spine.

Besides, if they are really like human spine, Xiao Wang, they have no reason not to notice. "

Yang Tianwen nodded slightly and concluded:

"In other words, the condition of human spine only appears in snake and centipede.

However, the situation of atavism seems to involve the demon world and the great Mo world?

Pterosaur... Black wind snake

In that case

Is it possible for us to put aside the problem of spine and make use of the characteristics of atavism

What about cultivating native monsters? "
