83: Chapter 83 Paleontological Experiments

The next day.

Professor Li, having returned to Jianghai City, hurried toward the research institute in a rush.

It was early in the morning.

A large number of research institute staff, along with some military personnel and almost all the leaders in Jianghai City, had arrived there.

The reason was that they had received a message from Professor Li the previous night, stating that he had obtained key material for the prehistoric biological experiment.

"Old Li, the key material you mentioned wouldn't happen to be this feather, would it?!"

After going through complex procedures such as sterilization and disinfection, Professor Li and some research institute staff entered the biological laboratory.

The staff looked at the feather sealed in a vacuum bag and clicked their tongues in wonder.

"This feather is forty centimeters long; it looks like a cattail fan... Old Li, you didn't take time off yesterday to go hunting for a big bird in the wild, did you?"

"Tell us, does the big bird taste good?"

A professor who was on good terms with him laughed.

Old Li waved his hand, his eyes shining as he looked at the feather in the vacuum bag, as if he were looking at some kind of treasure.

"Stop joking around. Guess what is special about this feather? This is very likely the key to this prehistoric biological experiment!"

Hearing his words, many staff members and professors gathered around the vacuum-packed feather bag and began to observe and analyze it using microscopes and other professional instruments.

"This... I don't know if it's an illusion, but the texture of this feather looks harder than iron!"

"I have that feeling too... Even though this is a feather from a bird, it has the luster of beautiful jade, and it feels surprisingly hard to the touch, without the slightest bit of deformation..."

A staff member who studied birds reached out, felt the hardness of the feather inside the vacuum-sealed bag, and exclaimed in surprise.

His eyes sparkled with intense curiosity!

"Old Li! Tell us quickly, where did you get this feather..."

"I can't imagine any bird in this world that possesses feathers with these characteristics..."

"Even with the appearance of spiritual energy, it's impossible for birds to grow such feathers so far... Unless it might be that one on the outskirts of Jianghai City..."

The staff member who studied birds muttered to himself, while looking at Professor Li, who was smiling at him inexplicably.

His heart skipped a beat.

He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief!

"Could it be... that this feather really came from the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle?!"

"Yes, that's right. This feather definitely belongs to the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle."

"Hiss..."

All the scientific research staff in the biological laboratory gasped upon hearing this.

They also looked at Professor Li with expressions of disbelief.

But Professor Li looked calm and didn't seem to be joking, which shocked them to their cores!

You must know that although these research staff at the biological institute had an unimaginable obsession with the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle on the outskirts of Jianghai City and wanted to study the secrets of this prehistoric creature.

They did not have the guts to go to Divine Phoenix Mountain in the suburbs to collect biological specimens from the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle.

The reason was simple: although the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle rarely appeared in their human field of vision, the powerful combat capability and unknown power it displayed every time it appeared made them feel fear.

That was simply not the power of a creature from Blue Star; it was practically a monster!

"Old Li, you've got some nerve! You specifically took time off yesterday to go to Divine Phoenix Mountain in the suburbs, how did you manage not to encounter the White-Feathered Giant Eagle?"

"He probably didn't see it; otherwise, it would be a miracle if Old Li were still alive now..."

"Old Li, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you're such a steady person, why did you run off to such a dangerous place? If something happened to you... what would your daughter do..."

Facing his colleagues' concern, Professor Li explained, "It was a stroke of luck. Let's hurry up and study this rare experimental material..."

Since he confirmed yesterday that his daughter and her friends had some connection with the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle, he had asked his daughter about it.

But his daughter did not tell him how she came to know the White-Feathered Giant Eagle, and as a father, he respected his daughter's privacy.

He also had no intention of telling anyone else about this matter.

As the vacuum-sealed bag was opened, the snow-white feather with the luster of white jade was exposed to the air, and everyone's attention was fixed on this forty-centimeter feather.

Their gazes were like torches, as if looking at a peerless treasure.

"Let's test the feather's physical properties first..."

The snow-white feather was placed on a pressure instrument, with two alloy steel robotic arms firmly fixed on both sides of the feather.

"Let's try fifty kilograms of pressure first..."

Professor Li, considering that his own strength could not deform the feather at all before, directly applied fifty kilograms of pressure.

Hum...

The two alloy robotic arms accepted the command from the control port, emitting a buzzing sound, and applied fifty kilograms of force with absolute precision.

A few seconds later.

Everyone at the research institute rubbed their eyes or wiped their lenses.

"How can this be..."

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me..."

In their line of sight, the forty-centimeter-long snow-white feather did not deform, nor did it show even a trace of change; the robotic arms seemed to have malfunctioned as they failed to press down.

"Whew..."

Professor Li let out a tense breath and then continued to increase the force.

Straight to one hundred kilograms!

Hum...

The pressure instrument in front of everyone emitted another buzz.

But what shocked everyone was that the extremely white and beautiful-looking feather still did not deform!

"Damn! I'm starting to doubt the reality of the world!"

"This simply exceeds my understanding of physics!"

"Is this really the physical property of a biological feather?! It can't be from a monster, right!"

"If even a feather possesses such hard properties, how powerful must the body of the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle be!"

Everyone was somewhat stunned by the scene before them; a feather that looked as thin as a piece of paper could actually withstand such a great weight...

The shocked Professor Li suddenly had a question pop into his mind: why was there only one feather on the entire summit of Divine Phoenix Mountain...

He did not believe that such a powerful body of the White-Feathered Giant Eagle would molt like other birds!

What he didn't know was that the shedding of this feather was completely an accident.

When Ye Yang was just scratching an itch with his beak, he accidentally used too much force, causing this feather to fall off.

Next, the pressure tester gave up on the experiment because they already knew that this feather possessed properties as hard as steel.

The body of the Prehistoric White-Feathered Great Eagle was completely capable of ignoring their human light weapons, and even the shockwave of a missile might not necessarily be able to kill him...

Afterwards, Professor Li looked up at the military personnel watching in the laboratory and nodded to Mayor Lin.

Preparing to implement the prehistoric biological experiment plan...
