The university published the article the next day. Many people, thanks to the power of social networks, already knew of the existence of the spinosaurus, but when the news ended up in the scientific gazettes even the 'old school' part of the scientific world became aware of it.

The discovery of that spinosaurus that had broken all previous records inflamed scientists and biologists around the world. It has been known for some time that spinosaurs could reach 17 meters, but it had never been imagined that this record could be broken and that this animal even could appear in nature. Yet, after careful analysis of the photos taken and the videos shot, the experts could only agree with Jamie's measurements: the spinosaurus measured at least 18 meters.

In a flash, infinite hypotheses were speculated on the enormous dimensions reached by the animal. Some thought of some form of gigantism, others hypothesized bone diseases that accelerated its growth. However, the most agreed with Jamie's ide

  • I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army   Completing the first evolution

    [Evolution complete: congratulations, you have evolved to Spinosaurus superior!] "Uh? Has it been two weeks already?" Sobek thought as he heard the familiar robotic voice of the System warning him that he had completed the evolution. He was confused: it seemed to him that not even two minutes had passed!Very soon, however, the pains in his legs and back confirmed him that he had surely slept for a long time: because of the hard floor of the cave he was all ankylosed. It seemed to him that he had been running and fighting relentlessly for days.Sobek opened his eyes, and it was immediately clear to him that he had indeed changed. His field of vision was different: while before his vision was strictly monocular, allowing him only to see what was happening on the sides of his head, now his gaze was able to embrace a much larger area. He was finally able to see in front of him, even if not completely since he had a tiny blindspot between his eyes, but at least he could now see correctly

    After calming down, Sobek returned to the evolution interface to give a better look at it.Now a new System had become visible: the [Weapons system] icon appeared next to the [Food system]. Even though he couldn't open it, he already knew what it was. Now that he knew that those [Secondary systems] were used to prepare his army, it wasn't hard to figure out what that was given its name.Once he got it, he could create weapons of war!Sure, this meant seeing them first though...He shook his head. There was no point in mulling it over now: he had to wait for the next evolution to get it. He would have thought about it later, now he had other things to think about.He had unlocked five interface slots in the [Food system], but three were still missing. It was annoying, but he was patient: when the time came he would have asked the dinosaurs to tell him what they ate, and they would have shown it to him and allowed him to unlock the necessary slot.However, at the moment the [Food system]

    Sobek needed a long time to consume the parasaurolophus. Even with [Rapid digestion], consuming such large an animal took time; after all, that dinosaur weighed over two tons, so the amount of meat it had to swallow was quite large.. When he finished it was already evening.Sobek was a little annoyed by this. Eating his prey had always been a source of annoyance for him given all the time it took, but at least in the swamp he could use his little island to take refuge away from any other predators; now that he had no safe haven he had spent the whole time looking around fearing that at any moment some fearsome opponent would have appeared. After all, a dead parasaurolophus was tempting to many: any large predator would have wanted a good piece of it, and Sobek was not at all sure he could protect his prey in such a situation. If the opponent was too tough, he would have been forced to give up the prey and therefore also the experience points. "With [Fast eating] I could certainly do it

    As he had predicted, when he finished consuming both the apatosaurus and the dilophosaurus it was already the nine o'clock in the morning. It had taken him a whole night to make the corpses disappear into his jaws. Now, what remained of his two preys were just enormous skeletons, and many of the bones were even broken since he snapped them to eat the delicious and nourishing bone marrow.Incredibly, however, he wasn't tired. He didn't feel the need to sleep at all.When he was still a common spinosaurus he could stay awake for some days, but he still felt tired. Now, however, he was still in full force."I assume it's due to evolution. Now I need less sleep..." he thought, but still he couldn't help but ask himself some questions. "I wonder how it works. After all, the brain needs certain mechanisms and a lot of energy to function. Staying awake for too long would cause brain damage to amyone due to excessive energy consumption. Why is mine so different? Perhaps it has become similar t

    It didn't take him long to reach the desired amount of experience points: following the olfactory traces left by the megaloceros he had been able to follow the entire herd. After a few tries, he had become very good at using each of his senses to their fullest potential, and fortunately the deer were not exactly intelligent animals and although they were faster they had not moved far enough away to escape his nose. With a second assault he had been able to get all the food he needed.In reality he had managed to catch very few of them: the deer weren't smart, bt they still had learned his smell by now, just like him, and they had dispersed almost immediately after sensed his arrival, and so they escaped from him for three times. They were too fast to chase them with his enormous and heavy body. After Sobek understood this, he decided that it was time to use [Ambush] again; he hadn't used that skill anymore because he wanted to test the new stealth abilities that he had obtained thanks

  • I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army   Scavengers

    Over the next few days, Sobek did nothing except hunt down whatever he found. He had mostly focused on mammals and river creatures, without trying too much with the dinosaurs, but he still had to face some carnivores to get skill points. He had mostly focused on suchomimus, barionyx and rugops, but he also got to hunt another pair of dilophosaurs and even a bizarre carnivore with a strange bony hump on its back called concavenator.Thanks to his hard work, he was able to upgrade [Deadly claws] one more time, reaching level 3/5. Seeing how much he had improved defensively, he had decided to treat himself and having enough skill points on his side he had also finally upgraded [Fast eating] at level 1/,5 so as to at least speed up the consumption of his prey a little.. He felt he had reached a pretty good level, so he was planning to update [Regeneration] next time.Now his claws could take down a carnotaur with a single blow, so he could say he was safe enough. Therefore, even though he

  • I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army   Allosaurus

    "Allosaurus!?"Sobek's opponent was quite famous, so he had no trouble recognizing it. If he remembered correctly, the allosaurus had been one of the apex predators during the Jurassic period, if not THE actual apex.For a moment he panicked. The allosaurus was very similar to a t-rex: what if it was as dangerous as the terrible king of the dinosaurs?However, thinking rationally, Sobek realized that this couldn't be the case. The experience points offered by the allosaurus were much lower than the one offered by a tyrannosaurus. It didn't make sense to think they were equals. Furthermore, the mandibular structure and the body of the allosaurus didn't give him that idea of ​​danger that those of the frightening t-rex emanated instead.Perhaps the allosaurus had been an apex predator in the Jurassic period, where there were no other predators, but it was clear that in that world of disordered ages it could be just halfway down the food chain. That put it more or less on the same level a

  • I'm a spinosaurus with a System to raise a dinosaur army   Carcharodontosaurus

    Once he finished to consume the carcass of the allosaurus, Sobek returned to the river and walked away. That area was no longer safe: the carcass of the maiasaura would have soon attracted more and more predators. Sobek could have just eaten it, but he wasn't going to waste time on something that couldn't provide him any experience points. He would have eaten a carcass if he was desperate, but he wasn't so at all since his skills allowed him to obtain fresh food every day. That carcass could therefore be left to the other carnivores of the forest; as he left, Sobek had even been able to see one.[Prey identified: Acrocanthosaurus atokensis, carcharodontosauridae. Experience: 65,000 points]If Sobek didn't remember wrong, the acrocanthosaurus was an apex predator during the Late Jurassic period; it was at least 12 meters long and since its size it probably weight more than 6 tons. Despite the promising investment, Sobek had preferred to not take the risk. That predator didn't seem much

    Epilogue

    It took Sobek a few moments before he realized he was back in the room where it all began. That room where time and space ceased to exist, and where everything and nothing seemed to have changed at the same time. He already knew where he had to go; walking through the infinitely large (or perhaps infinitely small) room, in a few minutes (or perhaps a few centuries, who knows) he reached the familiar armchair on which was seated a woman with white skin and light hair.God didn't even seem to move since she sent him to Eden. Even her expression didn't seem to have changed at all. She was still the same, beautiful and terrible at the same time, whose gaze was both magnetic and loving on him. “Welcome back, son,” she greeted him in her crystal clear voice.Sobek advanced on her. This time there wasn't an armchair waiting for him, but a large mattress wide enough to allow him to lie down. She lay back on it and gazed intently at God. Even now, after he'd grown i

    Death of a legend

    On the continent of Maakanar, near a river that was once a typical spinosaurus nesting place, something immense could be seen. A huge creature was lying on its belly, but nevertheless it was so tall that its dorsal sail towered over the surrounding masts.Sobek was now thirty-three years old. To say he had grown into a behemoth was an understatement: he now measured 150 meters from head to tail and reached 45.6 meters in height. Even without activating the mutation he was now larger than Godzilla: the gigantic atomic reptile was a tiny lizard compared to him. All kaiju would be small compared to him. Even King Ghidorah would have been forced to acknowledge its superiority.In the last five years he had hardly moved. After the death of his last loyalist he returned to his birthplace and settled there. He ate what was provided to him from the [Personal Manger] and drank the water from the river. Otherwise, he remained calm, warming himself in the sun or admiring the star

    The last fight

    After a few days Nefertiti settled at the lake together with her father and her last remaining uncle. With the help and indications of Sobek she built a comfortable nest and there she laid her egg.Thus began the brood. The female spinosaurus never moved from above her little egg, keeping it constantly warm. Sobek and Buck brought her food and water. When Nefertiti was hot, Sobek used her huge wing as a parasol and Buck fanned her with his tail. In the rare moments when it was cold, the two of her huddled to help her warm up.That routine went on for three months. Finally, at the end of the third month, a familiar clicking sound came from under Nefertiti's paws.The female spinosaurus reared up and looked down. A small crack was opening on the egg. With a smile she moved from above it. The crack widened more and more and finally a large piece of egg broke off, showing a lively green eye that stared intently at Nefertiti.“Hello, baby. I'm your mothe

    The first true hunt

    Time had passed again. Sobek couldn't even figure out how much time had actually passed now. One year? Two? Maybe three? He didn't know.After his retirement, Sobek had gone deep into the forest of Maakanar. It was hard for him to move his huge body through the trees and very often ended up destroying them: his passage was evident as a trail of uprooted trunks was always behind him. He had moved permanently to the lake where he had met Buck and where he had established his first army. And he hadn't gone there alone.Carnopo and Buck had joined him just a month after his departure. They, too, had decided they'd had enough and abandoned their roles entirely. After all, in the new world there was no longer a need for either an army commander or one of the shock legion. Now there was peace, and the old war veterans had no reason to try to find their place in their world. So they had decided to do what they had always done: follow their pack leader.The trio spent th

    Passing to the next generation

    Another year had passed. In Sobek's eyes, time seemed to have begun to flow more rapidly. The months and weeks all passed almost the same and in a flash the morning turned into evening.Humanity had continued its advance. By now, Aphrodites had been fully colonized. Whole cities had sprung up on it and millions of settlers had begun to live there. Davis had now reached more than a billion inhabitants and Hermes now owned thousands of mining establishments.Thanks to teleportation technology it was so advanced that traveling between planets was even easier than going from one city to another. Since energy and material consumption were now no longer a concern thanks to solar panels on Hermes and mining plants on asteroids, everyone had a portable teleportation device. By now, being hired to work a mine on an asteroid was no different than being hired to work at the local convenience store.Colonies on the moons of Leviathan and Behemoth had multiplied, providing e

    More time, more changes. In just one year, many things had changed.Nefertiti had assumed control of the entire astrophysics division of the dinosaur pack, effectively acting as acting pack leader for them. After the first shared mission, she had begun to promote more policies of integration and union between humans and animals. She had facilitated interspecies interspace operations, sending animals and humans to work together in the new worlds to be colonized. Furthermore, there was still much to colonize, as human attention was slowly shifting beyond the outer Solar System to the dwarf planets and comets of the Oort Cloud.The work was not cheap and with it the possibilities of working together. With the Dyson Sphere nearing completion, energy was no longer an issue. After determining which moons to colonize, the Eden Union had begun an intensive mining program in the asteroids of the main belt in order to be able to build huge lenses to capture the sunlight and also

    Path of the giant

    One more year, more innovations. The more time passed, the more progress seemed to accelerate. It was like a speeding train that multiplied its speed every second: first slow, then faster and faster, until it turned into a giant projectile.Sobek knew that progress was bound to accelerate more and more, after all it was his nature. For each new discovery, countless doors open. And every door leads to other doors. This was the nature of progress. It was no coincidence that it took humanity less than two hundred years to go from horses to aircraft capable of leaving the orbit of their home planet.He recalled that on Earth, where he came from, progress had become so fast in the 21st century that it was enough to be born even a generation later or further back to find oneself in a completely different world. While in 1990 the main communication system was the satellite phone, in 2020 people used social networks for the most disparate things. While in 1990 movies were watc

    Science is eternal

    More time had passed. This time it was a year… or maybe a year and a half? I don't know. Not that it mattered much, actually.The world's attention to the inner solar system was gradually waning. Now that three planets had been terraformed, even if one of them still wasn't enough, and Hermes had become a stable colony that was continuously producing large panels of glass that joined in the orbit of the Sun to form the Dyson Sphere, the humanity was beginning to anticipate new challenges. From the inner solar system it was time to move to the outer solar system.Although some colony outposts were already present on some moons of Behemoth, they could not be defined as true colonies. However, now that energy consumption was no longer a problem thanks to the Dyson Sphere, which although not completed already released enormous amounts of energy, the Eden Union decided to start an exploration program of the entire outer solar system, or at least of the space between B

    Giant of the skies

    Two more years had passed. The advance of humanity towards the stars continued inexorably.The hypotheses of the scientists had proved to be correct: using a combination of gravity control technology and energy obtained from the Dyson sphere, although still incomplete, they had managed to accelerate the rotation of Aphrodites. The planet was slowly accelerating, though not too fast. There was generally talk of an hour each week. At this speed there was no risk of destroying the infrastructure already present on the planet. Yes two years, the rotation period had gone from 2082 hours to 1978 hours. Continuing at this rate, it was expected to reach 24 hours in 'just' another 38 years.Once this process was completed, the huge orbiting mirrors could finally be taken off. The day/night cycle would no longer be artificially determined and there would no longer be the risk that something would go wrong due to the impact of a micrometeorite. In addition, the accelerated rotati
