How to make a dinosaur... (3rd post)

We go back to the visitors' center for the tour. But Tim and Lex also follow us. and we also met Regis. He is the one that will guide us. After that, we go to a room that is written " NO ENTRY, AUTHORIZED PEOPLE ONLY " . The whole island is controlled from the first floor of this building said Ed. Then Regis brought us outside and let us see through the window and said, this is the control room, and that is John Arnold, the chief engineer. after that he pointed to the thin white man, he said that it was Robert Muldoon, He is the park warden. Park warden is the one who looks after all the animals. They are the 2 most important man in here. Then Regis brought us to a room that is written "EXTRACTION". Then he used his special card and let us in. Inside, we see a short man who was about 30 years old. this is Henry Wu said Regis. He is our geneticist. He knows all bout the genetic engineering we do here. After that , we asked Wu to explain us about how the dinosaur was made. He took a yellow stone and it is the amber. We get the DNA of the dinosaur from the amber. many of millions years ago, the sap from the trees hardened - become fossilized., it is an amber. Sometimes the insects long time ago bite the dinosaur. and the sticky sap also take the insects that eat the blood of the dinosaur, this is how we get the dinosaur's DNA. Wu bring us then to a cray XMP computers. those computers works on the DNA from the blood and they repair the DNA chains. Then I asked about how do you know what kind of dinosaur are you making to Wu. then Wu answered, we just let it grow until the egg hatch.
