Jurassic World is actually a real paradise.
Natural environment
We know that whether it is the original Jurassic Park in 1993 or the destroyed Jurassic World in 2015, the construction site of the park is a small island in the Pacific Ocean-Nubra Island.
Isla Nublar (Isla Nublar) is located in the vast Pacific Ocean southwest of Costa Rica in Central America. It is 9°25′ north latitude and 87°13′ west longitude. It is about 120 miles from the southern end of the Nicoya Peninsula (the largest peninsula of Costa Rica) at the same latitude. . The island is 8 miles long from north to south, 3 miles wide from east to west, and covers an area of approximately 22 square miles.
Like Mr. John Alfred Hammond and later Mr. Simon Masrani (Simon Masrani), we took about 40 minutes to fly from San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, to Nubra Island by helicopter. This 40-minute journey We are not boring in China. From the rippling coastline of Costa Rica to the golden and glittering western Pacific under the sun, the beautiful scenery along the way is always dizzying for tourists.
Due to its location on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, Nubra Island is on the Pacific Rim Volcanic Seismic Belt, so from a geological point of view, Nubra Island is a seamount raised by submarine volcanic activity. There are a series of natural steam fountains along the south coast of the island, which also shows that Nubra Island still has active underground magma activity. It is precisely because of this abundant geothermal energy that, during the construction of the early Jurassic Park, Mr. Hammond was able to build a geothermal power plant in the northern mountainous area to provide clean energy for facilities on the island.
Nubra Island is roughly shaped like an inverted teardrop, with mountains and canyons in the north, plains and lakes in the south, and a dormant volcano to the north. The original Jurassic Park is located in the east and Central area. Altitude changes have formed an orderly changing microclimate. Low-altitude areas have a tropical rainforest climate, while high-altitude areas have a temperate oceanic humid climate. "Isla Nublar" in Spanish means Clouded Island. This is because most of the time, the high mountains along the coast block the flow of ocean water vapor into the island, and the small environmental water circulation of steam fountains and ocean currents , Cumulonimbus clouds are easy to form over high mountains. Cloud forest grows wildly in such a climate, and forests are favorable conditions for water storage. Such a cycle forms the characteristic of Nubra Island that is always surrounded by clouds and mist.
Jurassic Park
We call Jurassic Park the first generation because the theme park built by InGen was abandoned after the well-known "the Incident", and Masrani inherited but did not fully replicate the previous project. It didn't even continue to build on the existing facilities, but rebuilt a new theme park-Jurassic World.
In the northeast area of Nubra Island, Mr. Hammond designed a number of huge buildings for tourists, including research facilities for 15 different dinosaur species. Visitors can arrive at Nubra Island by sea and enter the visitor center along two parallel roads, land and water, while VIP visitors can take a helicopter and fly over the waterfall directly to the visitor center.
The visitor center is located in the site at the foot of the mountain, "seemingly safe" under the protection of the high-voltage electric fence. The visitor center has relatively independent hotels and cabins, and visitors can easily visit and tour according to their own preferences. There is an exhibition hall for popular science education, laboratories, equipment control rooms, sightseeing garages, and Mr. Hammond's most excited observation of the dinosaur incubation room, which provides visitors to observe the newborn baby dinosaurs.
There is a wharf on the east and north shores of the island, carrying shipping from the Central American continent to Nubra Island. In the movie, Dennis Nedry, who betrayed the company, rushed to the East Coast Pier after stealing dinosaur embryos. It was a pity that he failed and was buried in the mouth of the dinosaur. Di Spinosaurus is a species that must be mentioned in the park. The reason why this petite dinosaur was arranged in the first sightseeing spot on the regular tour route of the first generation park is because of its unique combination of beauty and danger. At the same time, the beautiful and high-profile neck folds are a warning for it to launch an attack. The neurotoxic venom sputtered from the deep throat is enough to blind human-sized creatures, and become paralyzed and paralyzed all over the body.
The visitor center also has a large restaurant with an outdoor platform and a souvenir shop. Mr. Hammond has hired several senior chefs to cook unique Pacific cuisine. At the same time, when the "big event" occurred, another high-end hotel on the top of the mountain and a waterway for a theme park were under construction. Interestingly, when Mr. Hammond and his party were having lunch, the background slides sometimes showed that after the official opening of the future park, there are more attractive facilities, such as the "Jungle River Ride" (Jungle River Ride), Large bird cage facilities and independent restaurant facilities. These differences will be presented in later movies.
The nearest to the visitor center is a triceratops training ground with a viewing platform and guard towers. The island’s power facility maintenance warehouse and emergency shelter are also built here, which also laid hidden dangers for subsequent major incidents.
After the "big incident", Mr. Hammond also uncovered more secrets about Nubra Island for us. According to his description, Nubra Island is only a display area of the company's genetic dinosaur project, and the breeding of real dinosaurs The location is Sona Island, 87 miles west of Nubra Island, which is commonly referred to as Site B. After the clone was born, it was brought to Nubra Island to grow. After the "big event", InGen gave up its park plan on Nubra Island, where abandoned dinosaurs reproduced freely and formed a new ecological environment. These are all things to come, including the Velociraptor.
Whether it’s about the first water conservancy bureau or in the future Jurassic world, Velociraptor is the most watched dinosaur. As the smartest of all dinosaurs, it has an extremely insidious and cunning character. Hunting has a clear division of labor. In a hunting process, there are assists, auxiliary functions, feints, defenses, guards and other roles, even better than primitive humans in the barbaric period, and can even kill a Tyrannosaurus rex in extreme conditions. , Can be described as a natural killer, so when the trainer Irving later tamed a small group of Velociraptors (he named them Blue, Charlie, Delta and Echo), the managers of the park were extremely surprised and excited. .
Jurassic World
Even if Mr. Hammond is alive, he can't believe how much the new theme park is beyond his imagination, although he himself is a man of miracles. After the San Diego Incident (San Diego Incident), InGen's operations became more and more difficult, and both the government and the public lost their trust in the company. Simon Masrani, the owner of Masrani, was also obsessed with the genetic dinosaur project and was keen to restart the dinosaur theme park. So in 1997, after the death of Mr. Hammond, he acquired InGen as a wholly-owned subsidiary. And in 2002 began to rebuild Nubra Island, a new theme park-Jurassic World was officially born in 2005. While inheriting Mr. Hammond's last wish, he seemed to have found a way to operate the park, but the facts proved that he was just a crazier businessman.
In Jurassic World, the new visitor center is built into a "tourist service complex", also located in the center of the island, centered on the main tourist avenue, with souvenir chains and various themed restaurants on both sides, while the main body of the visitor center is It is many times larger than the original Jurassic Park. The center presents brand-new content with modern technology, such as introducing holographic images of dinosaurs, interactive experience screens, and a statue of Mr. Hammond, as well as a laboratory for visitors named “Hammond Creation Experiment” room".
At the end of the tourist avenue, there is an artificial lagoon for taming the dragon. Shopping centers, hotels, and tourist train terminals are built around the lagoon, forming an enveloping trend. There is a circular stand next to the lagoon, which is specially designed for tourists to watch Canglong eating. The stand can be controlled to rise and fall. After the staff feeds the Canglong, the stand seats are lowered to the surface of the water and viewed from a close distance through high-strength glass. The whole process of Mosasaur eating, this is also a performance unique to Mosasaur, the Mosasaurus Feeding Show (Mosasaurus Feeding Show)
Tourists generally arrive at Nubra Island by luxury ferry, and take the high-speed light rail train to the visitor center station. After learning the lessons of the big incident, the new operation control center is far away from the visitor center and is located in the hilly area of the northeast.
Some of the facilities that Professor Hammond had envisioned before the "big event" successfully landed in the Jurassic World, including large bird cage facilities (where Pteranodon and Dimorphodon inhabit), jungle River trip (the name of the route is Cretaceous Cruise). Visitors can also take Gyrospheres for sightseeing-replacing the original Jeep off-road vehicles (even in modern times, unmanned electric vehicles with interactive touch-screen CD players are not out of date)-in the savanna Run with herbivorous dinosaurs such as Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, and Apatosaurus.
As a new generation of transportation facilities, the gyro ball uses an invisible barrier system (Invisible Barrier System), which can protect passengers from the venom similar to Dilophosaurus. The gyro ball is equipped with a layer of extremely hard chlorine oxynitride glass that can withstand 50 calibers. Bullet shooting and gyro technology can keep passengers upright, the seat will not shake due to 360° rotation in all directions, and the top speed in smooth travel is 28 kilometers per hour.
The types of dinosaurs in the Jurassic World have increased from 15 in the first generation to 20, including 14 herbivorous dinosaurs and 6 carnivorous dinosaurs. In the northern part of Nubra Island, which is the center of the first generation paradise, is a restricted area forbidden to enter the tourists. Indominus Rex (Indominus Rex) was cultivated and housed here.
Tyrannosaurus rex is a new species created by humans. The original genes of Tyrannosaurus rex are mutated through genetic modification technology to extract Giganotosaurus, Rugops, Majungasaurus, and Carnotaurus. ) And Abelisaurus DNA. In addition, in the process of genetic recombination, in order to ensure the stability of the gene, a very small amount of genetic factors of Velociraptor, tree frog and squid are added, which makes this artificial The monsters also possess excellent intelligence and agility, the thermal adaptability of amphibians (control their own heat to adapt to the surrounding environment), and the camouflage ability of squids to blend into the environment.
Similarly, the ruins of the original visitor center remains hidden in this virgin forest. After the "big event", no one has set foot here. Even Masrani has been taboo here during the reconstruction of the Jurassic World. . So, here is just like the "big event" happened, everything hasn't changed, including a few Jeep Wrangler off-road vehicles that can still drive.
It is a pity that, like the "big event" in 1993, the great dinosaur paradise suffered a collapse again after 22 years, and the uncontrolled and tyrannical Tyrannosaurus almost tore the paradise. However, who would have thought that in 2018, Nubra Island will face a disaster of extinction. This time it is not human beings' self-inflicted disaster, but the devastating natural catastrophe, the hot magma spreading everywhere, the earth The terrifying force with the ocean is flames, volcanoes, and destruction.
