Chapter 156: Dragon Meat
"Dinosaur Theme Park? I've seen realistic dinosaur projections and dinosaur fossils; what's so interesting about them? At most, they're just lifelike sculptures."
"Yeah, pretty much. There's nothing special about it."
With the advanced tech of the light brain, which can simulate and restore certain creatures and their living environments based on data, these replicas were almost indistinguishable from real life.
Having seen creatures that came close to being alive, Zhao Lun had little expectation for fossils or sculptures. Even if the organizers claimed it was a hot attraction, he had no interest in visiting.
"No, brother! They say they've revived the dinosaurs!"
Maria eagerly opened the car's projection system, navigating to a folder and playing videos related to dinosaurs.
"Look, this is a dinosaur, a living dinosaur!"
The vivid projection illuminated before them, showcasing a massive dinosaur leisurely strolling across lush green grasslands surrounded by hills.
They meandered in different areas, and as the camera zoomed in, they could see one towering dinosaur stretching its long neck to munch on the leaves of tall trees nearby.
Those trees were massive but paled in comparison to the towering dinosaur.
On the grassy field, a slowly moving Hummer was present, looking like a mere toy compared to the dinosaur.
The dinosaur appeared gentle, ignoring the vehicle and continuing to feed, while the people inside seemed unafraid, leisurely taking photos and enjoying the scene.
"That's a herbivorous dinosaur!"
"It has a gentle disposition and won't attack humans unprovoked."
Maria excitedly explained.
The car cruised smoothly, and Zhao Lun and Penelope were captivated by the dinosaur videos.
The video amazed both, and even Maria, despite having seen it several times, couldn't resist watching again.
"This company has achieved something remarkable. I must say, their capabilities are truly impressive."
This world seemed to mirror the technological level of his original world, yet it always provided a different feeling, as if this research facility was operating on a different level!
"This is an advertisement for the Dinosaur Park."
"It says here that it will open to visitors starting January next year."
"Brother, can we go see the dinosaurs?"
Maria looked at Zhao Lun with eager eyes, hoping he would take her to see the dinosaurs.
"See the dinosaurs? Hmm, we'll see."
Zhao Lun felt a twinge of unease as he glanced at the advertisement. Were dinosaurs safe to view? He couldn't shake the feeling that something might go wrong. He wasn't scared of danger itself, but he didn't want his life to become overly complicated.
He seriously suspected that this Dinosaur Park was a scene out of a movie, and if they went, he was certain there was a 90% chance they would encounter some disaster.
The Dinosaur Park also had a unique offering—dinosaur meat.
Although it wasn't real dragon meat, dinosaur meat was still a delicacy. If they could taste something as exquisite as dragon meat, then visiting wouldn't be a bad idea.
While he had concerns, he also felt a sense of anticipation, creating a bit of internal conflict.
"Do you know where the Dinosaur Park is located?"
"The advertisement says it's on an island in the Pacific, but our Eye in the Sky hasn't located it."
"Oh? What's the reason?"
"There are some strange areas in the ocean; the Eye is experiencing interference."
"Is that so? It seems this place is indeed mysterious."
If his Eye couldn't see it, that location must be special, and Zhao Lun took note of it.
The car moved quickly, but the roads were congested, so their speed didn't pick up much. By the time they reached the familiar town, over two hours had passed.
The changes in the town were quite noticeable; overall, the layout became more reasonable, aligning better with human visual comfort, creating a sense of spaciousness and comfort. This feeling stemmed from architecture, aesthetics, and human visual difference studies, encompassing many aspects.
"Tracy Town has changed so much; it's like a different place every year."
Zhao Lun observed the scenery outside, opening the car's projection and continuously changing views.
Over the past year, many new buildings had emerged, and these new structures had become a defining characteristic of the town.
The town was developing rapidly, showcasing the charm of new century architecture.
Architecture is a profound discipline; with the advancement of technology, it has greatly enhanced this field.
The convergence of various knowledge domains has made architecture far from simple, elevating it to a higher level and involving more complex calculations, necessitating better computers to assist.
In this era, whoever masters advanced computing technology holds the future's precedence. Zhao Lun and his companions possessed this advantage, allowing them to excel in whatever they pursued.
The layout of the town reflected this application aspect.
The streets were bustling with activity compared to last year, with an increasing number of unfamiliar faces.
The liveliest place remained Diamond Star Square. The building, resembling a graceful diamond, had become a landmark in the area, attracting visitors who came to see it.
The square was filled with numerous stalls, all carefully managed, occupying minimal space. The square appeared tidy and added character to the area.
The remaining space served as a playground and resting area, where children at play and elderly people relaxing could be found. The older folk watched the playing children with the kind smiles of grandparents.
The square buzzed with activity, while the arcade was particularly vibrant, as evidenced by the projections showing boys, girls, adults, and children constantly entering and exiting, creating a cacophony of excitement.
The cinema was no different, filled with people enjoying movies.
The town station was also newly adorned, looking particularly luxurious, far surpassing the stations of other small towns, aligning itself closer to those of big cities.
In these bustling areas, one could see uniformed officers, carrying guns and batons, patrolling.
Their presence reassured the townspeople, who needn't fear any trouble, fostering a more harmonious environment.
This patrol unit was established after several discordant incidents that occurred last year. Now, with the town peaceful, they had contributed significantly to that tranquility, earning the respect of the townsfolk.
Zhao Lun observed these patrolling officers.
"No beer bellies, no potbellied waists, and no bloated faces."
"Yeah, they're strong and look good!"
These were formidable young warriors, capable of stopping any wrongdoing if necessary. Zhao Lun held a favorable view of this patrol unit and acknowledged their efforts.
"They are indeed impressive; during this period, they've captured many criminals, and the good atmosphere in the town is partly due to their efforts."
"Criminals? Who would dare come here?"
"Aren't we controlling the underground activities?"
"They're just clueless little shrimp; we don't even have to lift a finger, the patrol will handle them."
Crime, once birthed, is never fully eradicated; even if one group of wrongdoers is removed, new troublemakers will emerge. These newcomers, often naive and bold, tend to engage in irritating activities.
The patrol was specifically established to deal with these individuals.
The car passed through the town and arrived at the entrance to their estate.
The road had undergone meticulous renovations, and several electronic barriers had been installed along the road leading to their estate. Without proper clearance, no other vehicles could pass through.
They had already contacted Athena, who controlled the barriers; before their arrival, the barriers would automatically lift, and once the car passed, they would reset.
In short, large vehicles were not allowed, and only pedestrians and bicycles could pass. Incoming motorcycles were also prohibited.
This was done for environmental and safety considerations; minimizing motor vehicles was a priority.
The trees lining the road seemed unaffected by last year's attack, each exuding vibrant life, and the surrounding air felt particularly refreshing.
As Zhao Lun opened the car window, the fresh air was especially precious in this hot summer, and everyone in the car squinted their eyes, enjoying the natural breeze.
"It's quite refreshing here; many people come here to cool off lately."
Maria pointed to the people sitting on benches by the road and told him.
