"No... something's wrong!"
Nanami Mori, the chief researcher of the Togami family, who was in remote contact with the research team on the large ship at sea, widened his eyes as he looked at the things in front of him.
"Although I felt there was a problem when I saw the soft, malleable, and elastic muscles of the dinosaurs, I didn't dare to affirm some ideas back then because none of us had ever seen a dinosaur..."
"But now there is nothing to doubt about what we are seeing."
Nanami Mori breathed a sigh of relief.
Cold sweat had appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were almost filled with surprise-but a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"If we say that the dinosaur's muscles are surprising because we haven't seen this structure before, and the feathers and skin are because we can only deduce and calculate, so we can't completely restore or predict structures that we simply cannot understand... then, in terms of bones, we still have some say because we have fossils."
"Even if the dinosaur's bones are truly outrageous, they shouldn't be as outrageous as they are now-the Triceratops bones are fine, but the bones of these Velociraptors, especially their second toe, which can now be extended in multiple segments to increase the speed of their thrust and burst power... the error absolutely cannot be this huge!"
What appeared in front of Nanami Mori at this moment was the skeleton of a Velociraptor.
This Velociraptor was larger than a normal one-its spine at the neck was broken.
This was the one that Jaden had killed as easily as if he was strangling a chicken.
After this Velociraptor was sent back, it was immediately turned into various experimental materials by the research team on the ship-and Nanami Mori also participated in the research through remote video.
And the conclusion he finally reached was this:
"Everyone, from the late Cretaceous period until now... tens of millions of years have actually passed. For a while, we might have been blinded by the miracle of discovering dinosaurs and the problems that have always plagued us about dinosaurs. In addition, the difference between the Triceratops and our predictions was very small, and even with these Velociraptors, aside from this part of the bone structure, the other parts are generally the same as our predictions-but now I want to propose a hypothesis..."
Nanami Mori took a deep breath, then lowered his voice, pursed his lips, and slowly stated the hypothesis he had already affirmed in his heart.
"-These tens of millions of years, dinosaurs have never stopped evolving!"
"They must have undergone many evolutions to survive the catastrophe, to survive the subsequent temperature changes, and so on!"
"Muscles that can adapt to various environments, skin and body hair that can adjust temperature, and more functional bones-and the structure that appeared in the long intestines and linked stomach of the large Triceratops, a herbivorous dinosaur, which can store food for a long time, these should all be the result of evolution over these tens of millions of years to adapt to various environments!"
"I also want to say that normally, the speed of evolution of the same species may not keep up with environmental changes, which is why various species constantly alternate as the overlords of the Earth."
"But what if these dinosaurs were very lucky? They might have been severely wounded in the process, but what didn't kill them ultimately made them stronger."
"If this is really the case... then not only is the hypothesis established, but I can even confirm that their speed of evolution will exceed our imagination!"
"Currently, because it is too dangerous and we are understaffed, Dinosaur Island has not been fully explored... We have found traces of a Tyrannosaurus Rex on the island, but we have not found the Tyrannosaurus Rex itself..."
Speaking of this, Nanami Mori's expression gradually became solemn.
"I have already affirmed the previous hypothesis in my heart, and I will write a paper later. You can take it as true-but what I am going to say next is truly my personal wild guess, and it is a conjecture."
"Among the Triceratops herds on Dinosaur Island, there are strong and weak Triceratops. They seem to be living very comfortably, and they also seem to have experienced several evolutions to adapt to the environment."
"But their number is not large, and the island has not been completely grazed clean until now, which means that the Triceratops cannot reproduce in large numbers on this island."
"Previously, we speculated that there might be small Tyrannosaurus Rex groups starting to act together... but honestly, we can still see flocks of Velociraptors, and even the larger individuals among these Velociraptors are already the size of the one we captured this time."
"Then if there were small Tyrannosaurus Rex groups, would the ecological niche of these Velociraptors still exist?"
Nanami Mori paused here, then he spoke his conjecture.
"So I changed my mind-I think what exists on this island is probably not a small Tyrannosaurus Rex group, but... a super-large, top predator whose evolution and related aspects we probably cannot even imagine!"
"It might even possess a certain level of intelligence, knowing that if it eats all the Triceratops, it won't survive, and also knowing that if there are too many Triceratops, the island will be grazed clean... that's why it deliberately controlled the number of Triceratops!"
"-Have you ever considered that there might be several... no, if it's a creature of this level, then there will probably only be one such Tyrannosaurus Rex on this island!"
"Similarly... I also hypothesize that it is the fastest-evolving and most successful branch among the currently surviving dinosaurs."
"The ultimate dinosaur that has successfully evolved over tens of millions of years, starting from the time they were the overlords of the Earth, and overcoming countless difficulties until today!"
"Evolution is amazing... Although as a scientist, I might be considered unscientific for proactively talking about things outside of science-but if we approach it with a slightly romantic idea, if the hand of evolution really wants to see a final, ultimate duel between the Dragon and Beast races, which have fundamentally alternated as the overlords of the Earth, then it is now."
"The ultimate weapon of the Beast race, at least based on the species we currently know, is probably us humans. And Mr. Yuki's physique, relying on natural growth, surpasses the body strength of the 'human god' we carefully cultivated, making him undoubtedly the final product that can be taken out to fight the dinosaurs."
"And the ultimate weapon of the Dragon race is definitely the dinosaurs."
"If we think this way... then what kind of monster do you think is hidden on this Dinosaur Island?"
"-That is the Mr. Yuki of the Dragon race."
"For romanticism, this might be an unparalleled, peak battle between the Dragon and Beast races for the title of the strongest creature on land-but in reality, I think we must warn Mr. Yuki and his team, and we must make them be careful..."
"This might affect the plan and the progress of the exploration, and it might ultimately prove that I am very foolish right now-but we cannot wake 'it' up, even if 'it' is just a hypothesis, right?"
