Chapter 21 - Chapter 21 Dragon Island

Solar, who never witnessed any dragons but dinosaurs from the movie Jurassic Park, regards dragons as dinosaurs.

Solar: I witnessed dragons.

Lunar was a little surprised for what he said.

Lunar: Where?

Solar: From the movie Jurassic Park.

Lunar laughs at him, when she heard his reply.

Lunar: Hilarious. How big a mug you are? I'm not interested in the movie, which is just an illusion, because it's a truth universally acknowledged that dinosaurs have been extinct sixty-five million years ago.

Solar: It's not an illusion, it's a miracle of cloning that people wouldn't believe.

Lunar: Don't tell me. I'm not interested in an illusion. No! Do tell me, please. Because I'm interested in how big a mug you are.

Solar: I thought I must have been losing my mind, when I was expecting for dinosaurs in the movie Jurassic Park, until I witnessed how could Jurassic Park scientists bring the extinct dinosaurs back to life.

Lunar: How could Jurassic Park scientists bring the extinct dinosaurs back to life?

Solar: The miracle of cloning. One drop of blood contains billions of strands of DNA, the building blocks of life. Sometimes the extinct animals like dinosaurs can be cloned back to life, when scientists got their NDA codes within one drop of blood.

Lunar: Where did one-hundred-million-year-old dinosaur blood come from?

Solar: It's from a tiny mosquito inside amber. There were mosquitoes millions of years ago. They were just like today's mosquitoes, who fed on blood. Sometimes after biting a dinosaur, the mosquito would land on a tree branch, and get stuck in the sap. After a long time the sap turned hard and fossilized, just like dinosaur bone, preserving the mosquito with its dinosaur blood. The sap which we call amber, waited millions of years with the mosquito inside, until the Jurassic Park scientists came along. They used sophisticated technologies, extracted the blood from the mosquito, and discovered dinosaur DNA. Geneticists took over the job, used frog DNA to complete the holes and fill in the gene-sequence gaps, and grouped a full three-billion-strand dinosaur DNA. Which allowed the extinct dinosaurs to come back to life by the miracle of cloning.

Lunar: It would be a miracle of cloning, if the amber existed; it would be the first time the ancient dinosaurs met the present human despite the age gap of millions of years, if the extinct dinosaurs could be brought back to life; it would be a bold move, if human showed no respect to nature. Which chose dinosaurs to be extinct, might also chooee human beings to be extinct just like extinct dinosaurs millions of years ago.

Solar: They created the miracle of cloning, but never realized the miracle of cloning might lead to a terrible consequence; they raised treceratops, T-rex, brachiosaurus and velociraptor, but only raised female dinosaurs; they believed everything's under control, but sometimes something happened. When main system was off, dinosaurs leapt fences, fled out of park, and started breeding.

Lunar: How could female dinosaurs start breeding in a single sex environment?

Solar: Amphibian gene. They used frog DNA to fill in the gene-sequence gaps, mutated the dinosaur DNA, and blended it with that of frog. It's been known that some African frogs can change sex from male to female in a single sex environment. It's proved that the mutated dinosaurs can change sex from female to male. Life always found a way.

Lunar: Dinosaurs, the ancient rulers of this planet, who have their own age, Jurassic Period, should remain in their own age. I was overwhelmed by the power of that place, but it might lead to a terrible consequence, when the power is out of control.

Solar: It's just an illusion in the movie, but it's possible to bring the extinct dinosaurs back to life despite the age gap of millions of years. You said there's a Dragon Island in the magic world. Is the Dragon Island like Jurassic Park?

Lunar: Sort of. Dinosaurs are the ancient rulers in the muggle world, and dragons are the ancient rulers in the magic world. In the muggle world, there are some dangerous dinosaurs like T-rex and velocirapter, and there are also some harmless dinosaurs like triceratops and brachiosaurus. In the Dragon Island, there are dangerous dark dragons and harmless light dragons. They have a lot in common, but they are two different kinds of species with many differences.

Solar: What are the differences between dinosaurs and dragons?

Lunar: Firstly, dragons can do magic, and dinosaurs can't; secondly, dragons are much more massive, they're much cleverer, they're much stronger; thirdly, dragons still exist in the Dragon Island, and dinosaurs have been extinct millions of years ago.

Solar: It's a truth wildly acknowledged that T-rex can grow rapidly, and live from relatively brief 15-30 years.

Lunar: Why could they grow so massive yet live so relatively brief?

Solar: Harsh environment. It's too harsh for dinosaurs. Dragon Island must be a suitable environment for dragons. I wonder how long could dragon live?

Lunar: Maybe centuries. It's relatively much longer than magicians.

Solar: You said that you had a dragon girl roommate. Is she alive? Or is she gone?

Lunar: Maybe she is still alive, but she must be an old woman now. Dragons can live relatively much longer than magicians, but they can't live that long.

Solar: You said that she was the strongest one among you. How strong she was?

Lunar: She could transform into a massive dragon, as massive as a small church. And she could breathe ice-breathing, and freeze ten miles with one breath.

Solar: Could she break the seal of the forbidden forest?

Lunar: She was the strongest one among us, when we were students under graduation. Dragons are relatively much stronger than magicians, but magicians can improve their power rapidly. If she could break the seal of the forbidden forest, she would have done that centuries ago. But she couldn't.

Solar: How was her ending?

Lunar: Maybe she stayed at the Dark Church, teaching magic class; maybe she moved on the journey full of adventures, traveling around the magic world; maybe she came back Dragon Island, living an ordinary and peaceful life at the island.
