Chapter 903: Jurassic Monkeys
These dinosaurs are extremely powerful. Apart from them, other species do not have the strength to fight against them, and are not even on the same level.
After the environment of the new small ecosystem stabilized, the experimenters released some monkeys into this small ecosystem.
These poor monkeys didn't know what was happening at first.
After seeing the terrifying creatures that existed in the Jurassic period, many monkeys became meals for the dinosaurs before they even had time to react.
After a period of time, the survivors among them finally began to adapt to this new environment and learned to hide in the trees to avoid these terrifying large creatures.
Even so, their survival in the Jurassic period was still very difficult. Not only did they have to constantly avoid these powerful dinosaurs, but they also needed to hunt and collect fruits.
In this era, there were not only powerful carnivores, but also various large herbivores. It was very difficult for monkey populations to obtain vegetarian food, which caused their population to decline rapidly and soon reached the brink of extinction.
"It seems that it will be difficult for monkeys to survive in the Jurassic period."
Seeing these experimental results, Xu You also felt very sorry.
Even though this experiment cannot completely restore the real scene due to various experimental reasons, it can already explain some problems to a certain extent.
Faced with creatures that are so powerful that they are beyond their ability to fight, it is difficult for monkeys to survive in this era.
Next, Xu You began to genetically modify the new monkey population.
These genetic modification plans are all calculated by artificial intelligence through quantum computers.
This time, Xu You did not even eliminate some high-risk transformation plans, and directly allowed these monkeys to undergo genetic modification through Super Quantum X-1.
Just as Xu You expected, some of these monkeys showed some stress reactions after the genetic modification.
After all, these monkeys have not been specially selected. They are just some relatively ordinary monkeys, and their physical fitness is not the best among their kind.
A small number of monkeys developed more severe stress reactions due to genetic modification, and some even died as a result.
But most of the monkeys survived and were not defeated by genetic modification. Instead, they gained some enhanced abilities.
Among these, the most common ability is the increase in strength.
They have gained visible muscle growth and their body sizes have also increased to varying degrees.
In addition to these, some monkeys have undergone secondary development of their brains and have a larger brain capacity than ordinary monkeys.
According to the test of the brain power tester, their brain power values have also been enhanced accordingly, not just simply increasing the brain capacity.
The enhanced abilities of some monkeys are currently unknown, and their specific abilities will only be discovered once they are placed into a small ecosystem.
Once the monkeys were stable, they were also released into the same ecosystem.
Like the previous group of monkeys, after entering the new environment and seeing dinosaurs and other creatures they had never seen before, they also felt an unprecedented fear.
After their strength was enhanced, they were not as easily captured by dinosaurs as the previous group of monkeys, and their survival rate was greatly improved.
However, due to the difference in size, the degree of this increased strength is still not comparable to that of the powerful dinosaurs, which makes them still at an absolute disadvantage in a head-on confrontation with dinosaurs.
Seeing this situation, Lin Shi expressed her thoughts to Xu You.
"Sure enough, even after the increase in strength, the monkey still can't beat the dinosaur. The abilities of the two species are not on the same level. A small increase in strength has no substantial effect."
Xu You naturally agreed with Lin Shi's point of view, but Xu You saw some details in these experimental phenomena that others did not notice.
"That's true. In a head-on confrontation, a small increase in strength is indeed a drop in the bucket. But Lin Shi, have you noticed that the escape rate of these monkeys has increased a lot? As long as they are willing to use all their strength to escape after seeing the dinosaurs, it will be difficult for the dinosaurs to catch up with them."
Although monkeys are much smaller than dinosaurs, this is not an absolute disadvantage. In terms of agility, monkeys are still far superior to the huge dinosaurs.
Especially after their strength was enhanced, their agility was also enhanced. Because monkeys are very small, they will not appear bulky even if their strength increases. This is a unique advantage of theirs.
"This is indeed a different change from the last batch of monkeys. However, teacher, hiding blindly will not allow these monkeys to survive stably in this era. Because of the increase in strength, their demand for food has become higher. If this continues, even if it is not the dinosaurs that defeat them, they will die in large numbers due to food shortages."
Xu You agreed with Lin Shi's point of view. This was indeed a negative effect brought about by increased strength.
"Yes, food is a big problem. They have to learn how to get a steady supply of food while avoiding large dinosaurs. The next period of time is a matter of life and death for these monkeys."
When this was mentioned, Xu You quickly thought of the current situation of humans on Blue Star, and couldn't help but sigh.
What was somewhat unexpected was that these monkeys actually underwent some changes in this small ecosystem.
They seemed to have begun to adapt to the new environment and no longer confronted the large dinosaurs head-on, but instead looked for animals that were relatively easy to defeat.
Monkeys are omnivorous animals and can eat both vegetarian and meat foods. When vegetarian food is not sufficient, they must learn to hunt.
After their strength was enhanced, these monkeys did indeed master more powerful hunting abilities. Except for dinosaurs, most other animals were no match for these monkeys.
The strength of these monkeys is not just that they have more power than ordinary monkeys, but more importantly, their brain power level is unique in the Jurassic period.
"Lin Shi, you see, the biggest advantage of these monkeys right now is their very strong team capabilities. Among them, there are monkeys who are specifically responsible for organizing battles."
