Chapter 13 Dragon Wing Flight! Four-legged Flying Winged Dragon! (Please vote for recommendation)
With the arrival of more control personnel, the chaotic situation in the resort was barely under control. Most of the pterosaurs had been shot with anesthetic bullets and were under unified control.
A small number of pterosaurs also escaped. With their wings, they are capable of flying out of Nublar Island. It would be dangerous if they were allowed to enter the human world!
The sky had darkened unknowingly, and Owen, who had no idea what had happened, rushed to the control room of Jurassic World.
As soon as he arrived at the control room, Owen ran into Hoskins, who brought a group of fully armed mercenaries and took control of the entire control room.
After Masrani's sacrifice, all the original Jurassic World staff were fired, including Claire, and the mercenaries brought by Hoskins took over.
"Owen, you're just in time! The board of directors has now given me the emergency action rights for Jurassic World."
Hoskins said to Owen with a wry smile.
"What on earth happened? Why did the pterosaurs in the Pterosaur Pavilion escape?"
Owen questioned.
"Oh? So you don't know what happened yet, then let me tell you!"
Hoskins then told Owen the whole story of the escape of the two Indominus Rex, which shocked the latter.
"I have a battle plan now, and I need your cooperation. I need the velociraptors you trained to hunt down the two escaped Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
Finally, Hoskins slowly revealed his intentions.
"Don't even think about it, it's impossible!"
Hearing this, Owen refused without hesitation.
He knew very well that Hoskins had always coveted the velociraptors he had tamed and wanted to use them in military wars.
Not to mention that those two Indominus Rex were definitely not something that four Velociraptors could deal with, and their training for the Velociraptors had never been put into actual combat. Once the Velociraptors regained their freedom and were out of control, the consequences would be disastrous!
"I'm not negotiating with you anymore. I have the final say here! My men have already rushed to the velociraptor enclosure and are ready to launch the operation. The result will be the same with or without you."
Hoskins said in an unquestionable tone.
In the end, for the safety of other tourists, Owen had to agree to Hoskins' battle plan and promised to personally lead the velociraptors to chase the two Indominus Rex and cooperate with Hoskins' mercenary team to hunt them down.
The mercenary team under Hoskins are equipped with heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, armored vehicles, etc., and they are determined to hunt down the two Indominus Rex.
"What a pity."
Hoskins couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he thought about the two Indominus Rex, which were originally excellent biological weapons, were about to die.
But who let them escape human control? Then the only outcome is death.
……
Meanwhile, Pterosaur Hall.
All the pterosaurs had escaped through the gap, and the wreckage of the crashed helicopter was still burning fiercely.
Jiang Han, the source of all the disasters in Jurassic World, has left the Pterosaur Hall and returned to the valley forest and found a hidden place.
"Fusion of pterosaur genes!"
With a thought in his mind, Jiang Han immediately began to integrate the pterosaur genes.
The familiar burning sensation in his body came again, spreading throughout his muscles and bones, causing unbearable pain.
However, Jiang Han still endured it with his strong willpower, and he was full of expectations for the integration of pterosaur genes. The ability to fly has always been rare and precious in the evolution of animals on Earth. It has only appeared three times in vertebrates, including birds, pterosaurs and bats. Among invertebrates, it has only appeared once in insects.
The evolution of flying ability is rare mainly because it requires very high overall control, including precise muscle control, mastery of balance, perception of airflow, control of cushioning during landing, and support from external hardware such as feathers and wing membranes.
In this complex system, if any one step is not in place, the flight will not be successful.
“Crack!! Crack!!”
Suddenly, a teeth-grinding sound of bones trembling came from the ribs on both sides of Jiang Han’s chest!
Then, two thick and slender tubular bones pierced through the skin and scales at his ribs and slowly stretched out.
"Roar!!"
Such great pain made Jiang Han couldn't help but let out a roar.
The surface of the stretched tubular bones was still stained with his dripping blood, which looked shocking.
"Kakakaka!!"
The two symmetrical tubular bones were hollow structures. Although not as tough as solid bones, they were lighter. They grew and stretched madly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and only slowed down and stopped when they reached a length of 30 meters.
When it is fully stretched out, the entire pair of wing skeletons have a wingspan of 60 meters, which is three times the current body length of Jiang Han!
The wingspan to body length ratio of close to 3:1 is also a common feature of most pterosaurs!
One difference is that the wings of pterosaurs evolved from the forelimbs. The fourth phalanx of the forelimbs became longer and thicker to become the flying wing digits, which together with the forelimbs formed the solid leading edge of the flying wing, supporting and connecting the membrane of the sides of the body and the hind limbs, and finally formed the wing membrane capable of flying.
Jiang Han had completely grown new wing bones, but his forelimbs remained the same as before, turning into a veritable four-legged flying dragon!
The fusion of pterosaur genes continues.
After the overall skeleton of the wing is formed, a thin and flat wing membrane is slowly spread out. First, the wing surface is formed by the keratin membrane, and then two symmetrical wing membranes are formed by skin, muscles, collagen and fibrous tissue, which quickly cover the wing skeleton.
The structure of the pterosaur's wing membrane is not simple. It is covered with radial long fibrous tissue from head to tail, which is interwoven with the surface muscles and blood vessels into a spiral shape, greatly improving the tensile strength and stability of the wing membrane, and can be stretched and folded freely.
The large number of muscle fibers attached to them are like miniature engines that can burst out powerful force. They can help pterosaurs adjust the tension and shape of their wings and adapt to flying movements such as bouncing takeoff, turning, diving, landing, and gliding. The arteries and veins supply the wings with a steady supply of nutrients through blood.
"Crash--!!"
Finally, the fusion of the entire pterosaur gene was nearing completion, and the pain gradually faded away.
Jiang Han couldn't wait to come to a stream and look at himself in the reflection of the water.
In one word, handsome!
The whole pair of wings looks natural, as if they were born there, without any traces of artificiality.
The rugged and rugged tubular bones add a sense of sharpness and domineering. The overall tone is consistent with the silvery-white body color. The wing membrane and wing surface sparkle with a metallic luster, which is noble and dignified with a bit of mystery and magic.
It worked!
After integrating the pterosaur genes, it grew a pair of wings as it wished and gained the ability to fly!
However, we have to test it ourselves to know its specific flying capabilities.
"Roar--!!"
Jiang Han roared passionately and looked up at the distant sky. His pair of silver-white dragon wings spread out wildly and domineeringly, and his proud dragon body seemed to be about to leap into the sky at any time!
