Dinosaurs were made ...

From the Visitors' Center, we all, excluding Hammond. when passed a sign saying: NO ENTRY AUTHORIZED PEOPLE ONLY. We were going to the control room. As soon as we went in, Regis told us that the whole island is controlled from the first floor of this building.

Amber Stone

In the control room, there's John Arnold, the chief engineer, he is thin and was wearing a white coat. Robert Muldoon, the park warden was in the control room too. Usually, there's Dr Harding, the vet, but now he's out in the park looking after a sick animal. Regis told us that we'll going to come back to the control room after we see how to make the dinosaurs.

 Soon, we reached a door with a sign saying: EXTRACTIONS. Regis used a security card to unlock the door, then we all went inside a room. This room is small, many microscopes were there, also yellow stones. We're introduced with a short man, about 30 years old, he's Wu, Henry Wu, the chief geneticist. Both me and Ellie asked Wu about the dinosaur DNA, and he explained. So, everything begins with the yellow stone, amber. Long time ago, the sap of trees were hardened and then fossilized. and sometimes the sticky sap caught insects before it's fossilized. Some of those insects had fed on animals like dinosaurs, and dinosaur's blood is inside these insects. The blood from the insects were taken, then the blood will be extracted , then dinosaur DNA will be collected. Before that, the DNA were not yet completed, so Wu use the Cray XMP supercomputers to repair the DNA chains. Wu told us that only some of the DNA chains were missing, but it took us many weeks to find , while it only takes few hours for this computer to find it. I wonder what type of dinosaurs they were making, but when I asked Wu, he don't eve know, he told me that he couldn't know what dinosaur it is, he need to wait until the dinosaurs were born. 





When the cute ones came out ...





Inside the egg

Then, he took us to a door with a sign saying: FERTILIZATION. In there, Wu told us about the dinosaur embryos, it's putted into special eggs, and the special shells of the eff and also the temperature of the room. He also told us about the syringes with poison in them, it is use to kill animal when it goes wrong. After that, he took us into a room with a sign saying: HATCHERY. It was super hot in here, and rows of eggs were lying on shelves. Wu told us that this is the room where the eggs hatch and the dinosaurs were born. Only about 0.4% of the egg were hatch into living dinosaurs, and now there's 238 dinosaurs alive in this park. In the Nursery room, there's a velociraptor in one incubator, this raptor then became Tim's new friend. Now, it's still friendly, but later, not anymore. Wu told us that the dinosaurs here doesn't breed. From the nursery room, we all went back to the Control Room, we all wanted to see how the Control Room works !
