"This..." The senior sister paused, and said, "It's fine if you are happy."

Obviously, she thinks Du Xingyu's research topic is too whimsical.

"Junior Brother, don't be busy deciding." Pang Yan said, "Well, let me report other people's research topics first. You can think about it for a few more days and report later."

...

After the lab meeting, Bao Xian asked Du Xingyu curiously: "Du Xingyu, what do you think? You want to study cloned Tyrannosaurus rex?"

"This is impossible to achieve, cloned monkeys, piggy is almost the same."

"Are you a graduate student, don't you want to graduate?"

"I understand what you mean." Du Xingyu said, "but the most important thing in research is the process. I mainly fancy the problems encountered in the process of this research topic."

"That's right..." Bao Xian said speechlessly, "but your goal is too high, maybe you won't be able to complete the first step... Before the brother did not report it to you, quickly change one! "

"Okay, thank you for your reminder." Du Xingyu smiled and said, "I know it in my heart."

Bao Xian shook his head, Du Xingyu didn't seem to change his mind at all.

...

In the evening, through online video, Pang Yan reported the subject of his junior brothers and sisters to his tutor Su Yutang.

In the picture, an old professor in his seventies appears. He is sitting in a bright office with the sunlight outside the window.

At this time, Su Yutang was conducting academic exchanges at Stanford University in the United States. He took a general look at the subject content and asked: "Is there still a copy?"

"Yes, there is another student, I asked him to re-select the subject." Pang Yan replied.

"Who? What topic did he choose?" Su Yutang asked. He has a lot of students, and sometimes they can't remember their names.

"Du Xingyu, that's the one who was in a coma the other day." Pang Yan said, "Didn't you send the newly unearthed Tyrannosaurus skull fossil to the laboratory? He said he wanted to study cloned Tyrannosaurus rex. I asked him to think about it again. miss you."

"You said, is this subject too unrealistic?"

"Research on how to clone Tyrannosaurus Rex?" Su Yutang's eyes lit up and said with a little interest, "I haven't seen such a creative idea for a long time!"

As a top scholar in the field of biology, Su Yutang's ideas are very advanced. He said: "The biggest feeling I have come to Stanford University is that the students here dare to think about anything and dare to do anything!"

"We at Peking University also need students like this. Don't stick to how to complete the task, but do pioneering research and development... If Du Xingyu still insists on studying this topic, let him choose this one. The Tyrannosaurus skull fossil is also handed over He went to study."

"The important thing is the process, not the result. Maybe he made new discoveries in the process of studying this subject."

"Okay, I see." Although Pang Yan said so, he still thought in his heart that Du Xingyu must have not recognized the difficulty of his subject at the beginning and would give up soon.

However, when Pang Yan came to the laboratory the next day, Du Xingyu had already written the subject application.

"You still decide to study how to clone Tyrannosaurus Rex?" Pang Yan asked in surprise.

"Yes, brother, I have carefully considered this!" Du Xingyu said.

Pang Yan wanted to persuade him a few more words. Thinking of Su Yutang's words, he said: "Well, then you choose this topic. The teacher said, Tyrannosaurus skull fossils can be studied for you, but you must protect it!

"This skull fossil is quite rare, the cartilage tissue left on it. Now there is no second such complete in the world!"

"Got it! I will definitely protect it!" Du Xingyu nodded.

He immediately began to study the Tyrannosaurus skull fossil. The first thing Du Xingyu had to do was to sequence the samples.

To clone Tyrannosaurus rex, you must first know the genetic information of Tyrannosaurus rex (a DNA fragment with genetic information).

Su Yutang's biological laboratory is a state-level key laboratory with relatively complete equipment, and most biological experiments can be carried out.

Du Xingyu had no idea whether he could obtain the complete genetic information of Tyrannosaurus rex.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

After the organism dies, DNA will begin to decay. Factors such as body cells, intestinal cells, soil microorganisms, ultraviolet radiation, etc. will cause DNA degradation. Oxygen and water also chemically change DNA, causing DNA strands to break.

Under special circumstances, DNA can be preserved for millions of years. But Tyrannosaurus rex is a creature 65 million years ago, and it is almost impossible to preserve complete DNA information.

So far, scientists around the world have not obtained complete dinosaur genetic information, only fragments of DNA, and they are not sure whether the genetic information is from dinosaurs or from other organisms.

Du Xingyu established a simulation project of "Tyrannosaurus Gene Jigsaw" on the technology simulator.

He entered the genetic information monitored from the fossil into a science and technology simulator and turned it into a piece of puzzle.

"My luck is not bad. The cartilage tissue on this Tyrannosaurus skull fossil contains quite a lot of DNA fragments." Du Xingyu obtained a large number of gene fragments through a large number of tests.

But wanting to use these to spell out the complete genetic information of Tyrannosaurus rex is just a dream.

Du Xingyu still needs more information. In the name of Su Yutang Biological Laboratory, he sent emails to biological laboratories researching dinosaur genes all over the world, hoping to obtain some information about Tyrannosaurus or other dinosaur gene fragments.

Other dinosaur genetic information can be used for comparison.

Some of these laboratories rejected him, and some offered help, allowing Du Xingyu to further enrich his information.

Now Du Xingyu has a bunch of chaotic and missing genetic puzzle pieces, and there are many mistakes in it.

Anyone who wants to get the DNA sequence of Tyrannosaurus rex, I am afraid it is still difficult to reach the sky.

Du Xingyu has a technology simulator and is not helpless.

On the science and technology simulator, he can directly select a DNA fragment to simulate expression.

"Tyrannosaurus is a bipedal carnivorous dinosaur, that is, theropods, and birds evolved from theropods. I can compare the genomes of similar birds and make genetic modifications and supplements..."

This is destined to be an extremely cumbersome task, requiring a large amount of information to be collected, and the technology simulator also needs to be simulated repeatedly.

Du Xingyu became busy all of a sudden, and he also needed to start propagating biotechnology and gain energy points to complete the simulation experiment.

As a "newcomer" who has little popularity in this world, Du Xingyu decided to publish his VLOG (video log) on ​​the hottest short video social media "Starlight".

He first registered an account. In the previous world, Du Xingyu was called Earth Observation. This time, he planned to be called the "Creator".

The system prompts: "The nickname has been registered, please modify the nickname."

Du Xingyu had no choice but to add VLOG, four English letters after the "Creator", and then began to publish his first video log.

"Hello everyone, I am Du Xingyu, a graduate student in the Department of Biology."

"I want to do one thing, clone Tyrannosaurus rex! Yes, you heard it right, it's the kind of Tyrannosaurus rex you think."

"Tyrannosaurus is a carnivorous dinosaur that survived the end of the Cretaceous Period, 68.5 to 65 million years ago, and one of the last dinosaurs to be extinct!"

"The body length of an adult Tyrannosaurus is about 11.5-14.7 meters, and the average hip height is about 4 meters. The highest head height is nearly 6 meters, the average weight is about 9 tons, and the maximum head length is about 1.55 meters. The bite force is generally 90,000 Newtons-120,000 Newton, whose mouth end can reach about 200,000 Newtons, is also the strongest carnivorous dinosaur."

"It is very difficult to clone such a land overlord. I have a Tyrannosaurus rex skull fossil containing the cartilage tissue of Tyrannosaurus rex. I plan to start with it first..."

In Du Xingyu’s first video log, he briefly introduced his plan and sequenced the Tyrannosaurus skull fossil.

The video was posted. As a new video for newcomers, the platform gave it a certain amount of exposure.

Soon, people commented on this video.

Xin Feiyang: "Now for the fire, everyone really has it! Why don't you say you want to make Ultraman? Also clone Tyrannosaurus Rex? That's too much!"

Ping Yi Jinren: "Is this Tyrannosaurus skull a model? Where did I buy it? I want to buy one for my family."

Yueluo said silently: "Are you really a graduate student? I feel that they are all fake!"

Baozi: "Uh, brother, Starlight recommends a friend's video, I got your video. Come on!"

This bun is Du Xingyu’s current roommate Bao Xian. Because of the software’s acquaintance recommendation mechanism, he got the content published by Du Xingyu.

Not only him, but some friends in Du Xingyu's address book also saw the videos he posted. But most of them just glanced silently without commenting.

Du Xingyu's first issue of VLOG has less than ten comments and only a dozen likes.

He didn't care about it, and he updated it every week. Most of the content was also about the progress of cloning Tyrannosaurus rex.

One month later, the science and technology simulator reminded: "The Tyrannosaurus rex gene map is 63% complete."

"Too difficult." Du Xingyu felt that this was more troublesome than designing a Star Destroyer. If it weren't for the unlocked functions of the technology simulator, he didn't need to pay energy points to use it, he estimated that even this 63% would not be completed.

"Too little, too little genetic information." When Du Xingyu was at a loss, he received an email from his tutor Su Yutang.

"These are some research materials of Edward Kerton, a famous dinosaurist in North America, and may be useful to you."

When Du Xingyu opened it, it turned out to be a sequence of genes from dinosaur skin tissue. This is an extremely precious piece of information. Tens of millions of years ago, a dinosaur accidentally fell into a swamp. Due to the influence of sulfide and other substances, its skin did not completely disappear, leaving small pieces of skin tissue fossils.

The biological laboratory in North America tested the genetic information of these skin fossils. Su Yutang also learned of such a thing during academic exchanges, so he asked Du Xingyu for a copy.

For this information, the other party is not stingy. Because their genetic information is also very limited, no breakthrough progress has been made. The same goes for the previous Tyrannosaurus skull fossils. The North American biological laboratory has tested it a long time ago, and felt that this thing had no practical value, so it was given out as a gift.

But this is good news for Du Xingyu. He immediately sent an email to thank the tutor and imported the information into the technology simulator.

Although this is not the skin tissue information of Tyrannosaurus rex, it still has a high reference value.

"Gene comparison is in progress..." The science and technology simulator quickly found useful genetic information, and then improved the Tyrannosaurus rex gene map based on this information.

"The completeness of the Tyrannosaurus rex gene map is 92%!" This information allowed Du Xingyu to directly pull the progress into a big chunk.

"The remaining 8%, while supplementing information, while guessing and simulating..."

It took Du Xingyu another time to finally simulate the gene map of Tyrannosaurus rex. But the result he got was not the only one, but more than ten million copies, because the lack of information he possessed was too serious.

Science and Technology Simulator: "Starting to simulate the synthetic genome... 12.34 million results have been generated, 9.87 million results have been directly failed, and further screening has begun."
