Chapter 577 Hatching Dinosaur Eggs

Soon, the editor-in-chief of the National Journal of Nature in the Beautiful Country asked someone to write a draft and sent it out. He made a strong response to the report on the discovery of a complete fossil of A. fragilis that went viral on the Internet, and directly characterized it as A fraud for commercial purposes.

This report is very authoritative, not only very prestigious in the beautiful country, but also very influential all over the world, directly suppressing the popularity of this news.

Soon various websites refuted the rumors about this incident, and then removed these films and videos from their shelves, calming down the storm that almost ignited.

But the authoritative media in the beautiful country can only control the local social media, and there are still many dinosaur lovers and skeptical good people who continue to watch Wang Tianhui's live broadcast over the wall.

At this time, Reed and Jack were still walking around the huge dinosaur fossil, photographing its details, feasting the eyes of netizens watching the live broadcast.

Even experts couldn't tell the truth from the fake through the screen, and everyone just watched for fun.

However, dinosaur fossils of this scale are shocking even if they are fake, especially because the workmanship is so exquisite that it can be called a miracle.

"Wang, can these fossils really piece together a complete dinosaur?" Reed asked.

Wang Tianhui also came to verify this point, so he looked at Da Zhuang, "Has your excavation work been completed? Have all the dinosaur fossils been dug out?"

Da Zhuang nodded, "The big guy has been looking for it in the sea for many days, and it is confirmed that all the bones have been dug up."

"That's great, the next step is to assemble it. I have to ask Professor Chang Pei'an to see if he knows any experts in this field. Come and help me put together the dinosaur fossil, so that I can know whether it is complete or not." " Wang Tianhui said.

Reed continued: "Wang, the Professor Willis I just mentioned is an expert in this field. He knows the structure of dinosaurs very well. He led the team to stitch together several famous dinosaur skeletons in the world. I I think he will be very, very surprised if he sees these giant dinosaur bones, I can help you get in touch."

Wang Tianhui thought for a while, "Let's take another look, I will contact you if necessary."

This discovery would shock the whole world. Wang Tianhui didn't want to give this opportunity to the beautiful country directly. He had to say hello to Professor Chang Pei'an first, and he couldn't let the gringo enjoy the benefits.

"Oh, well, Wang, if you need anything, just ask, and I will do my best to help you." Reed said very sincerely.

"Okay, look around, don't touch things, I still have something to tell Da Zhuang." Wang Tianhui said to Reed and Jack.

Reed Jack looked at each other, left with interest, wandered around Crystal City again, and asked them to take away their mobile phones by the way, so that netizens could appreciate the charm of the cultural relics of Sea God Island.

Wang Tianhui called Da Zhuang and Fat Ball aside, and then released the dinosaur eggs in the storage space.

This egg is taller than Fat Ball, and only Da Zhuang can hug it.

"Brother Wang, what is this?"

"This may be a dinosaur egg, and it is likely to be a dinosaur egg of A. fragilis." Wang Tianhui said.

Da Zhuang's eyes widened, his jaw almost dropped, "Then did it also become a fossil?"

Da Zhuang picked it up and felt it, a little surprised, it was not as heavy as imagined.

Wang Tianhui shook his head, then held the dinosaur egg to signal him to be careful, "This may be a live dinosaur egg, and I have a task for you now."

As soon as they heard that there was a new task, Da Zhuang and Fat Ball immediately became serious, standing upright with a serious face.

"You have managed to hatch the egg. Don't break it. This little guy is as precious as Little Hui. It is the only one in the world. It must survive." Wang Tianhui said earnestly.

Da Zhuang held the dinosaur egg and felt that it became heavier.

"Brother Wang, what are the conditions for incubating eggs? I will strictly enforce them!" Da Zhuang asked.

All the people present here are mammals, none of them has experience in hatching eggs, and Da Zhuang is a man, and has no experience as a mother.

Little Erha is very interested in this mountain-like giant egg, but he doesn't understand what it means to hatch an egg. He is only interested in its smell, sniffing at the giant egg, and occasionally licking it.

Although Wang Tianhui has never laid eggs, let alone hatched eggs, he is a child who grew up in the countryside. Have he never seen pork or pigs running?
The fat aunt next door to Liu Xiaozhu's house raises a lot of chickens, and they all incubate eggs and raise chicks at home. When it comes to hatching eggs, the fat aunt is also a half-expert.

When I was young, I went to Aunt Fat's house with my friends, saw hens hatching eggs, and Aunt Fat artificially hatched eggs.

Wang Tianhui, who has been interested in biology since he was a child, was very curious about the fact that humans can hatch eggs, so when other children went to the mountains to play by the river, he went to the fat aunt's house to observe how eggs hatch from.

Let me talk about the hen hatching eggs first. This is the most primitive method and the method with the highest success rate.

After the hen lays eggs, she begins to hatch her eggs in the straw nests stored by the owner. In rural areas, this behavior of hens is also called lying down or brooding.

When the hen starts to hatch, she stops laying eggs, and her body temperature gradually rises. The most painful thing is that she has to lie on the eggs to keep them warm, never leave, neither eat nor drink.

If you just simply lie on your stomach, it won't be so hard.

The hen also needs to use her paws to turn the eggs four or five times a day to ensure that the eggs are evenly heated and ventilated. Otherwise, the temperature of the eggs is too high, which may cause the chicks to grow too fast and cause stillbirth.

This kind of hard life will last for about three weeks before the chicks will emerge from their shells.

A hen has a limited body, and it can only hatch about 15 eggs in its stomach. If Aunt Fat used to earn some pocket money by selling chicks, she would have to hatch more. Sometimes she She will collect some eggs from other people's homes and let the hens at home hatch them. If they can't hatch, she will hatch them manually.

The success rate of artificial hatching is not as high as that of hens, and it is more laborious, but the efficiency is very high, and it is possible to hatch hundreds of eggs at a time.

Professional chicken farms are very intelligent for incubating eggs. There are special incubators. The temperature and humidity can be monitored by instruments and eggs can be turned regularly, which saves a lot of manpower and material resources, and is extremely efficient.

But in the countryside, there is no such condition. Peasant women like Aunt Fat use the most rustic method to incubate eggs.

Aunt Fat’s house has a small kang specially used for incubating eggs. It has four square meters and can hold hundreds of eggs.

Before incubating the eggs, she would use straw to heat the kang, but not too hot, just feel the heat.

Then spread a thick quilt, put the eggs on it, then buckle it with a bamboo basket, and then cover it with a thick quilt to keep warm.
