Chapter 784 This is a serious scientific research activity

Gordon took the pork chop and boarded the airship they were going to take this time - the Porter.

Different from the small airship that Hayata and the others took when they set off, the airship in front of them was quite large.

Of course, it still can't be compared with the Long Shi ship known as the "air science research base", but it is almost the same level as the Isana and is a heavy cargo airship.

Moreover, the boat he took was not a simple boat. This cargo airship was headed for those two "unethical flying dragons".

After he anesthetizes and captures the two flying dragons, the professional team on the airship will be responsible for transporting them away so that scholars can complete subsequent research.

Of course, if there are dragon eggs or cubs, and a family is gathered together, the project researcher will probably be happier.

The cargo airship slowly took off.

Compared with ordinary small airships, this heavy-duty airship with three large airbags is much slower and more stable. The upper limit of the take-off weight is astonishingly high, otherwise it would be impossible to transport the electric dragon and the female fire dragon back at the same time.

On the extraordinarily wide deck of the cargo airship, Gordon met the person in charge of the research project and the person who commissioned the "Love" mission.

Wearing thick glasses, he looks like a male scholar from the Dragon Tribe who is about forty years old, but his actual age is unknown.

"Mr. Hunter, I have to trouble you this time." The scholar was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to shake Gordon's hand and then shook his paw with Pig Chop. "I am Isa, specializing in animal behavior.

Cases of cross-species mates are extremely rare among large monsters, and the courtship and mating behavior between an electric dragon and a female fire dragon is the first of its kind. It’s really exciting, isn’t it?”

Gordon had a sullen face and was in a rather strange mood.

He could also understand why Hayata was not willing to join this mission, what about the mating behavior between the electric dragon and the female fire dragon, and what about cross-species reproduction.

Although it is essentially a very serious biological investigation, it always gives people the feeling that this mission is not very serious.

"Mr. Isa, I don't know much about this, but we will capture the two electric dragons and the female fire dragon as completely as possible."

".whole?"

"Ahem." Gordon cleared his throat, "Mr. Isa, I'm curious, is it really possible for an electric dragon and a female fire dragon to produce offspring?"

Not just to change the subject, Gordon really cares about this issue.

After all, the chief researcher personally promised that Longliyuan was willing to purchase the "hybrid cub" at twice the mission reward.

That's 100,000 z. The reward for the seven-star mission is not that high. Although he is not short of money now, he plans to save more for certain things in the future.

It can be seen that Isa is very passionate about the subject he studies. Whenever he talks about professional content, his voice will be louder.

"Theoretically, it is possible that the fire dragon and the electric dragon belong to the order Draposauridae, the suborder Draposaurus, the superfamily Feilongidae under the order of Crustacea, and belong to the family Salamidae and the electric dragon family respectively.

In short, the genetic relationship between these two kinds of flying dragons is quite close, almost equivalent to, well, the big strange bird and the black wolfbird, the dog dragon and the sleeping dog dragon.

If mating occurs between the two, there is a high probability that fertilization will fail, but there is also the possibility of successfully giving birth to a new species, but their offspring will completely lose the ability to reproduce."

Gordon twitched his lips.

The chief researcher is a shrewd guy. No wonder he specifically emphasized that what he was willing to buy at a high price were the "cubs" of the electric dragon and the female fire dragon, not the "dragon eggs".

Because dragon eggs will most likely not hatch.

"What if a new species is really born, the electric fire dragon? It would feel very powerful. Maybe some special equipment can be made." Gordon's mind started to jump.

Mr. Issa's expression visibly stiffened for a moment.

From a scholar's point of view, he was concerned about cross-species mating behavior and the possibility of the birth of hybrid cubs. As a hunter, Gordon's mind was full of what could be done by skinning and removing the bones.

He immediately added seriously, "Mr. Hunter, whether you find a dragon egg or a cub, please be sure not to harm it. It is a very important observation object."

"Yes." Gordon agreed simply. Of course he wouldn't do any harm. After all, he could get a lot of money in exchange.

"By the way, Mr. Hunter." Mr. Isa pushed the lenses that were so thick that people couldn't see his eyes clearly, "This request may be a bit excessive, but can you take me with you during the hunting?

I want to take a close look at the behavioral patterns of electric dragons and female fire dragons when they get along, which may help solve the mystery of cross-species courtship."

"No." Gordon shook his head decisively and refused, "If the target is only one, we may still have to discuss it.

But the capture targets this time are two large flying dragons. If one of them suddenly bypasses me and attacks you during the battle, it will most likely be in danger."

"I run very fast!" Mr. Isa said unwillingly: "Before joining Longli Academy, I was also a member of the paleontology scrivener team and had many years of field investigation experience."

As he spoke, as if to prove his words, he lifted up his scholar's robe rather inelegantly and showed Gordon his recurved feet and calves, which were thicker than those of ordinary draconian scholars.

"I'm not a 'nerdy' scholar. Rather, I spend most of my time in the wild!

How to find cover, how to hide yourself, how to avoid tracking, how to use props like fertilizer bombs and flash bombs, I am very good at it!"

Gordon frowned.

From a personal point of view, of course he did not want to bring this oil bottle with him, but he could also see that Mr. Issa, Professor, and Alva belonged to the same type of people.

In order to seek knowledge and satisfy their curiosity, their own lives are second-rate to them.

He wanted to refuse forcefully, but he always felt that this guy would follow him after he left the camp.

Gordon frowned and remained silent, while Mr. Issa continued to chatter, "I also prepared an invisibility suit. You know the invisibility suit, right? If I hide in the bushes wearing that, not even the flying dragon species can detect me."

Pig Chop suddenly tugged at the edge of Gordon's armor, "Maybe this way, Meow, let Mr. Issa accompany us and observe Meow before the battle happens."

After the battle breaks out, Mr. Isa will have to leave, Meow. Anyway, at that time, there will be no "intimate behavior" between the electric dragon and the female fire dragon. Meow.

I will escort Mr. Issa back to the camp safely, but before I return, Gordon will have to fight the two flying dragons alone."

Gordon pondered for a few seconds, then finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed, "Fighting the electric dragon and the female fire dragon alone is not a big problem.

Mr. Issa, I can agree to your journey, but you have to promise that you must obey the arrangements made by me and Pork Chop when you are in the wild, and you must leave before the battle breaks out.

And you must wear invisibility clothes throughout the whole journey, with self-preservation as the first priority. I don’t want to take your bones with me on the return trip. If I see that scene, I’m afraid the chief will be very angry.”

Under the thick lenses of Mr. Issa's glasses, an excited light suddenly bloomed, "Of course! I will be obedient in the wild. There is still so much research to be done, and I don't want to die early."

And I will pay extra! Well, research funds are quite tight, so I may not be able to give you much money.

How about I give you a copy of the behavioral analysis report of various types of monsters compiled by our research team? It may be helpful for your future hunting."

"Huh?!" Gordon's eyes lit up.

The notebook that the professor gave him a few years ago brought him a lot of help. If it was this kind of thing, he would naturally be interested.

"This seems pretty good."
