Chapter 64 The Missing Spider

Saturday, Museum of Natural History.

"Oh my god, look, what is that?" Peter said excitedly, pointing to a huge dinosaur skeleton in front of him on the left, looking like a child.

"That's a model of a dinosaur fossil made by a model company. I've seen the real fossil in my dad's collection room. It's not like this." Harry poured a basin of cold water on Peter.

"Can't you treat him as a real fossil? Damn capitalist." Peter was so angry that he crossed his arms and looked very cute.

"Okay, okay, wow, I didn't expect such a huge creature to have existed on the earth. The Creator is really great!" Harry's performance was very exaggerated, and both Peter and Li Ji laughed.

"Stop talking about this, look at the female staff member under the dinosaur fossils. She wears so little in winter. Isn't she cold?" Peter pointed to a girl wearing a museum uniform. She looked about twenty-five years old. , the front is convex and the back is curved, it is exactly a ripe peach.

"Peter, since you know that there is an incubator in the nature exhibition, you should also know that the natural history museum has air conditioning. If you touch your back, don't you feel a little sweaty?" Li Ji said with a smile, The three of them looked at each other and laughed again.

"Hey, Li, what a coincidence, are you also coming to see today's nature exhibition?" A familiar voice came from behind, but Li Ji didn't really want to hear it. If he were to arrange for the person Li Ji least wanted to see in the world, In terms of names, this person is definitely in the top three, and it is none other than Wendell. 35xsThe other two people are Professor Charles and Salis.

"What a coincidence, Wendell, aren't you going to prepare for the masquerade?" Li Ji turned around with difficulty and showed an unsightly smile.

"Since I couldn't find a male companion, I decided not to go. I chose to come to the Natural History Museum to see the latest nature exhibition and relax. I didn't expect to meet you. What were you talking about just now? You kept laughing, can you? Do you want me to join your conversation?" Wendell's reasons were flawless, and she even found an excuse to join Li Ji and the others.

"We were just betting on the age of the Tyrannosaurus rex fossil, and we agreed that the winner would treat everyone to dinner. I guessed million years, Harry guessed million years, and Peter guessed million years. I think Peter is I deliberately guessed wrong in order not to invite everyone to dinner." Li Ji said casually.

"Then Peter's little calculation came to nothing. The Tyrannosaurus rex fossil was a model made five years ago. Although the figure of million years is still very different, it is the closest figure. It seems that lunch is Peter is in charge." Wendell pursed her lips and smiled, and Peter blinked, feeling miserable.

The next visit to the exhibition did not go well. Wendell always wanted to hold Li Ji's hand. Li Ji had to take off his heavy down jacket and put it in Wendell's hand. As a result, Wendell had no hands. Empty, there is no way to come up and hold hands again. net

"There are more than known species of spiders, most of which live in the tropics and subtropics. The order Araneae is divided into two suborders, the Mesospun suborder and the Metaspun suborder, among which the Metaspun suborder It is further divided into Neotheranae and Protheranae.”

Li Ji and the other four entered the spider exhibition hall. In the center of the exhibition hall was a simulated ecosystem system of about ten meters in size. There were some tropical spiders living in the center, and surrounded by dense glass display cabinets. Each display cabinet displayed different spiders. Same, there are thousands of them.

"I can't believe it. These guys are so cool, don't you think so, Li?" Harry asked Li Ji. Li Ji ignored him and looked at Harry again, "Harry, what do you think?"

"I think you're cooler." Harry nodded.

"Each spider has different abilities. Some spiders can build webs, and some spiders rely on venom to hunt. For example, this spider from Australia can hunt prey by jumping." In the exhibition hall, a The Asian woman is explaining to everyone the habits and hunting methods of various spiders.

"Wow, as expected, I still think intellectual girls are the most beautiful." Peter's voice was very low and he said close to Li Ji's ear, causing Wendell to look at him coldly.

"The next spider is a special web-building spider belonging to the order Neoderaneae and the family Asteridae. It can build a funnel-shaped spider web as strong as the steel cables used in construction."

Peter put his face against the spider display case and was pulled away by the security guard: "If you let me see you doing dangerous actions again, I will send you out of the museum."

"This spider uses reflex movements to hunt. Its reflex nerves respond very quickly. Most researchers believe that it has the ability to predict and feel danger in advance. Although they cannot explain why the spider has this ability, they call it For spider sense, or spider sixth sense.”

While Peter was arguing with the security guard, Li Ji suddenly shrank his pupils: "Spider sense? Isn't that one of Spider-Man's powers?"

"In the past few years, the International Spider Research Association has drawn a genetic blueprint of spiders. With these DNA data, many impossible things have become possible. The association can use synthetic DNA to create a new genome, giving spiders more and more Distinctive abilities.”

The introduction continued, and Li Ji felt sleepy as he listened. He didn't have much interest in this kind of arthropod.

"Li, do you like these spiders?" Wendell asked suddenly when she saw Li Ji yawning.

"Oh, this, it's okay, not annoying. Anyway, it's just a matter of kicking." Li Ji walked aside, and Harry followed, "It is said that there was a particularly huge spider in prehistoric times, with a body length of several meters. Li, can you crush such a spider with just one foot?"

"As long as he's not as tall as me, I can do it with one kick. If he's taller than me, he'll need two kicks. I have to jump up first." Li Ji sat on the bench where he was resting, staring at Peter's movements.

"You are really unreasonable." Peter finally finished arguing with the security guard, walked aside angrily, and continued to observe the spider.

"Using the several spiders mentioned above and gene synthesis technology, the International Spider Research Association has created this kind of super spider, a total of fifteen, which combine the characteristics of the above three spiders..."

"Isn't it fourteen?" Peter counted it twice and didn't find the fifteenth one.

"What did you say? Is there a spider missing?" The staff member came over, looked at the display cabinet, and counted it. There were indeed only fourteen spiders.

"I guess... maybe the researchers are using it for experiments. They are the darlings of the researchers." The staff member said with some anxiety. He couldn't bear the consequences of losing a super spider.

"Is the plot on track?" Li Ji touched his chin.
