Every day is one step closer to reality

In the eyes of many people, snakes symbolize threat and danger.

Feng Chi’s cousin is a snake and has a strange feeling for snakes.

I am afraid of snakes, but I cannot avoid mentioning its image and name. As time goes by, my attitude towards snakes becomes more complicated.

Prehistoric behemoths like the titan anaconda are even more powerful.

Children have a sense of fear towards giant beasts. These creatures are really scary and majestic, not to mention they are snakes.

Seeing such a realistic Titan Anaconda model left a deep impression on me, whether it was a psychological shadow or a gradual addiction.

Children who are already educated know that the things placed in front of them are all fake and that such creatures have become extinct and no longer exist, but they still fantasize and make assumptions: What would it be like if such creatures still existed in the world? situation?

However, all the emotions generated in the fantasy were directly dispersed by Feng Chi's "1, 2, 3".

Obviously the two sides are not thinking on the same page!

Cruel and boring adults!

Feng Chi's cousins ​​looked at each other and decided to reduce their communication with this cousin!

Expelled from the chat group!

Feng Chi, who was treated indifferently, didn't mind the attitude of these gangsters at all. After getting the contact information of several model teams, he had already sent them emails or text messages, and also searched online for more Titan Anaconda related information. Pictures and videos, thinking about what kind of pattern I will make when the time comes.

Feng Chi had a correct guess.

Because the museum founder considered the mental health of minors, he put forward some suggestions when communicating with the model production team. The movements and expressions of the models were relatively conservative.

Want a more fierce and ruthless look? Can!

But it's not appropriate to put it here.

This model now shocks and intimidates viewers simply by virtue of its size and appearance.

The image of the titan boa is based on very limited fossils of vertebrae and skull fragments. No one knows what this creature looked like more than 60 million years ago.

The Titan Anaconda model in the museum refers to the skin color of the anaconda. Feng Chi doesn't like anacondas very much. In terms of appearance and patterns, he prefers the ones that look strange and gorgeous.

Besides, it doesn’t have to be a titan anaconda, there must be more than just this kind of snake from 60 million years ago!

Who stipulated that it must only be this long?

This one is less than fifteen meters, I want to make a twenty-meter one!

Add some crawling background sound!

Deterrence plus!

Feng Chi was so excited just by thinking about it, he was secretly poking and preparing to cause trouble.

On the other side, Feng Yi was preparing for the afternoon meeting after cooperating with the museum's publicity.

During the preparation, I also chatted with Wei Hongxi and several people from the Joint Security Bureau to enhance our relationship and learn more about the industry.

Now that Feng Yi can be considered one of the UN Security Bureau's own, Wei Hongxi and the others have become more intimate with Feng Yi when chatting with them, treating Feng Yi as half a comrade-in-arms.

Although Feng Yi is not required to participate in everything, they can ask Feng Yi for help when necessary, and the two parties will cooperate more closely.

In the afternoon, in a conference room of the museum, Director He held a special consultant appointment ceremony for Feng Yi and awarded him a certificate of honor. Yangcheng official media also took photos and records at the scene.

This meeting was not only about Feng Yi's appointment ceremony, but also about other matters.

Feng Yi noticed that Director He mentioned the prevention of various disasters and emphasized that the climate in the past two years may have slight fluctuations, and all departments must be vigilant and prepared.

In the past, Feng Yi didn’t pay much attention to it, and he didn’t know much about the impact of this kind of climate fluctuation. However, during the chat with several people from the Joint Security Bureau before the meeting, Feng Yi also learned more information. The two-decade-long climate anomaly made the ecology fragile, and it has not really recovered yet. A slight fluctuation in the climate may tilt the existing balance slightly.

A phenomenon closest to Feng Yi's life is the increase in rats.

It won't cause a major disaster, but small waves can be annoying.

The mouse Fengyi is familiar, he made a fortune by catching mice in Rongcheng last year! There are indeed many rats, and it is not uncommon for residents in the community to encounter rats jumping on the suspended ceilings. The community organizes a large-scale rat eradication operation every month or every few months.

The increase in rats is also an ecological warning.

Feng Yi also thought of the snakes on Xiaofeng Mountain. There used to be so many snakes on the mountain, but now they are sent elsewhere, and those foodies can eat some mice. On the whole, it may not have much effect, but there is definitely more than one similar method, and there are other animals other than snakes.

There are so many natural enemies of rats, but they can still explode?

The natural enemies are not strong enough!

After the meeting, Feng Yi was pulled into a heart-to-heart talk by Director He.

Director He encouraged Feng Yi to take on more tasks from the UN Security Bureau. It is not easy to be an expert in the Joint Security Bureau. If you do not do well or do not have enough results, you will be kicked out. However, at the same time, there are two opportunities to improve your level every year.

If you have enough ability, you can also gain both fame and fortune.

Director He said this, in addition to worrying that Feng Yi would "waste his talent" by going to the entertainment industry, he was also worried that Feng Yi would get involved in the fights between wealthy families and waste his time.

After confirming that Feng Yi had not entered the entertainment industry for the time being and understanding what he meant, Director He left with satisfaction.

In the evening, as the museum was about to close, Feng Yi did not go back immediately, but took a stroll inside the museum.

At this time, there were no people in the museum, and most of them were staff checking everywhere.

There are too many things to do during the day and I don’t have time, so it’s not convenient to go shopping there. Now is a good time. Feng Yi went to see the snake exhibition area.

Compared with what I saw before the museum opened, the background layout is now more complete and the exhibition area looks more harmonious.

However, only the various species of snakes that exist locally are on display here, as well as several other well-known snakes.

Feng Yi looked at the snake here and then at the titan anaconda in the central exhibition area.

It’s quite a sense of accomplishment to put them on display together like this.

Feng Yi couldn't help but think that if he went to catch snakes everywhere, he wouldn't know how many he would catch in the future. If he didn't put them together, he wouldn't have a clear idea in his mind, and no one would be able to imagine them if he told them.

If, every time you catch one, find someone to make an exquisite model according to it, collect it, and put it together in the future...

Wei Hongxi, who was about to leave, saw that Feng Yi was still here to watch, so he came over and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

"It's a bit." Feng Yi didn't say that he wanted to collect models. He glanced at the Titan Boa model in the central exhibition area and said, "Is the Titan Boa really only that big?"

only?

Wei Hongxi raised his hand and pointed at the giant snake model: "You call this 'only'?"

After a pause, Wei Hongxi continued: "Yes, for someone like you who can catch a seven-meter python with your bare hands, an anaconda of this size cannot be considered huge!"

Feng Yi raised his hand to compare, "No, I just think that in the era of giant beasts, this size is really not big."

I don't know if his mentality is inflated, but Feng Yi looked at the lifelike Titan Boa model in front of him. He didn't feel any deterrence at all. He only felt that compared with the big pythons he had caught, this giant boa constrictor should be considered...

How far can you draw it with one tail without pulling back?

If you have thick skin and flesh, can you handle it?

Wei Hongxi had no way of knowing what Feng Yi was thinking. He looked up at the Titan Boa model and said, "Who knows how big the real individual is? There is too much error in estimating the size of an organism 60 million years ago based on so many vertebrae fossils." Big, I think it’s more than that. Even if the body shape calculated and simulated by the discovered vertebrae fossils is like this, it does not prove that all titan anacondas at that time were like this. There are differences between individuals. When you catch snakes, there are regular individuals and extreme individuals. There are smaller ones, and of course there will be bigger ones, and it’s not impossible to have a difference of one or two times.”

Speaking of this, Wei Hongxi laughed again and said: "Anyway, such a biological model restored based on fossil simulation does serve as a reference for the public. I am really annoyed by those online who say twenty meters or fifty meters. I’m so scared that I can’t even get interested in refuting the rumors!”

When Feng Yi thought about the exaggerated title puzzle he saw during today's interview, he couldn't help but laugh: "That's not it!"

Wei Hongxi's eyes moved from the giant titan anaconda to the snake exhibition area, "Snakes are really born survivors."

Feng Yi raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"

"More than 60 million years ago, there was a very important node."

"You mean the fifth mass extinction?"

Feng Yi knew this.

The Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event is often referred to as the "Great Dinosaur Extinction" event, also known as the fifth mass extinction event.

In that extinction event, more than 70% of the species on the planet may have disappeared.

"Yes." Wei Hongxi looked at the snake specimens. "Some people have reconstructed the evolutionary history of snakes by integrating data, and believe that the extinction event enriched the diversity of snake species. Frequent feeding is not required, and one meal lasts for a long time. With fewer natural enemies, the species diversity of the surviving snakes will gradually increase."

Feng Yi thought about it, indeed.

For example, anacondas and Burmese pythons find a place to sleep in a daze after eating. They sleep for a few days and a half, or longer, and then come out to look for food when they are hungry. It grows very fast and will continue to grow as long as it doesn't die.

After the fifth extinction event, many natural enemies were wiped out, and competitors were not very strong, so they had to thrive!

"It's a pity that there are too few snake fossils! I don't know how many species of giant snakes existed before the fifth mass extinction. Fossils are inherently rare, and snakes are even rarer." Wei Hongxi said.

How difficult is it to fossilize?

First of all, this creature must die in the right place and rot without contact with oxygen. Then, it must successfully undergo countless crustal movements. In this process, the relative integrity of the bones must be ensured. After tens of millions of years or so, For hundreds of millions of years, it will eventually be discovered by people.

"The probability may be only one in 100 million or even one billion."

Wei Hongxi thought of an article in a journal he had read, "A paleontologist who studies Tyrannosaurus rex, based on the approximately one hundred complete Tyrannosaurus rex fossils known so far, speculates that there may have been more than two billion Tyrannosaurus rex on our planet. Tyrannosaurus rex has reproduced for hundreds of thousands of generations. So, according to them, if some creatures once existed, but the number was too small, not even a single bone fossil could be found."

"In other words, if humans existed 60 million years ago, but the number was too small, there was no bone fossil evidence left?" Feng Yi asked.

"Maybe. There is nothing from six million years ago, let alone sixty million years ago. There is not enough evidence for things that happened tens of millions and hundreds of millions of years ago. Who knows?"

"Come to think of it, maybe there were more magical creatures once upon a time!"

"for example?"

"For example, that kind of creature with an upper body like a human and a lower body like a snake."

Wei Hongxi laughed and patted Feng Yi on the shoulder: "You can just say Fuxi and Nuwa! I can't tell that you are still a young man who loves fantasy!"

Feng Yi also laughed, but said nothing more.

But I thought to myself: When I build a personal achievement collection hall in the future, I will put all kinds of snake models in it, and then I will make a life-size model of myself and put it in the collection hall so that everyone can know about it!

Since it existed, how could it not leave any traces?

It appears in front of everyone in a way that is real and fake. Everyone just thinks it is a fantasy appearance. Who will believe that it is also real?

Who would believe it? ! !

In the electronic information age, memories will last forever, right?

After returning home from the museum, the first thing Feng Yi had to do was to eat!

It's very inconvenient to go out. I don't have enough to eat, so I eat the museum staff meal. I'm still hungry after eating, but I don't dare to continue eating. There are too many people paying attention to him today, so he must restrain himself.

Fortunately, he went back to the car halfway and secretly replenished some food in the car, otherwise his stomach would have started to feel heavy.

When he saw such a big and fat giant anaconda in the museum, to be honest, his first reaction was: greedy!

But because of the presence of the investigators and leaders of the Joint Security Bureau, Feng Yi held back.

After finishing the meal and replenishing his energy, Feng Yi sent a message back to Feng Chi.

Feng Chi left him a message before saying that he had something to share with him.

However, Feng Chi shouldn’t be able to talk on the phone right now, so he just sent a text message——

Feng Chi: [I have a great idea! 】

Feng Yi: [I also have a great idea! 】

Feng Chi: [No, your idea is definitely not as good as mine! 】

Feng Yi wanted to say "You put the P", but still replied: "Maybe." What do you think? 】

Feng Chi: [Keep it secret for now, you will know when I realize this idea. And you? What idea can be as brilliant as mine? 】

Feng Yi: [Keep it secret now. I don't know yet when that will happen. 】

Feng Chi: [Then you lose, my wonderful idea is already being implemented! Just wait and see! 】

Feng Yi thought of the current situation of the Feng family and reminded Feng Chi: "Don't make it too big, otherwise the old man will take back your part after making a will." 】

Feng Chi didn’t think so: [Hey, it’s okay! do not worry! The old man didn't take me seriously at all. My presence in the Feng family was not important. I had tested it before. The little noise caused by the tossing seemed to us a big deal, but the old man didn't care. He wouldn't notice me. 】

After chatting with Feng Chi, Feng Yi thought about his idea.

To form a collection, the scenery is indispensable to create a three-dimensional presentation of the photos and videos.

If he wants to continue to rise in the Federal Security Bureau, he must make more achievements, which means he will catch more snakes.

As a result, more space is required.

First, you have to buy a piece of land.

Then here comes the problem.

Where's the money? !

The instruments in the underground laboratory haven’t been assembled yet!

Feng Yi walked to the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

He rubbed his cheeks to feel the presence of poison glands, and then popped out two big white teeth.

"It's up to you!"
