Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

The Jurassic world is actually a real paradise.

• Natural environment

Where it all happened -- nubula Island

We know that whether it is the early Jurassic Park in 1993 or the Jurassic world destroyed in 2015, the construction site of the park is a small island in the Pacific Ocean - nubula island.

Isla nublar is located in the vast Pacific Ocean southwest of Costa Rica in Central America. It is 9 ° 25 ′ N and 87 ° 13 ′ W. it is about 120 miles away from the southern end of Nicoya Peninsula (the largest peninsula in 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 about 22 square miles.

Like John Alfred Hammond and later Simon masrani, it took us about 40 minutes to fly from San Jose, Costa Rica's capital, to nubula island by helicopter. During this 40 minute journey, we were not bored, from the rippling coastline of Costa Rica to the golden Western Pacific Ocean in the sun,The beautiful scenery along the way always dazzles tourists.

Because it is located on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, nubula island is located in the circum Pacific volcanic seismic zone, so from the geological point of view, nubula island is a seamount uplifted by submarine volcanic activity.There are a series of natural steam fountains along the South China Sea coast of the island, which also shows that there are still active underground magmatic activities in nubula island.It was because of this abundant geothermal energy that Mr Hammond was able to build a geothermal power plant in the northern mountains during the construction of the early Jurassic Park to provide clean energy for the facilities on the island.

"Island of clouds"

The shape of nubula island is roughly like an inverted teardrop. Mountains and canyons are in the north, plains and lakes are in the south, and a dormant volcano is in the north. The early Jurassic Park is located in the East and central area.The change of altitude forms an orderly microclimate. The climate of tropical rain forest appears in the low altitude area, while the temperate marine humid climate occurs in the high altitude area.In Spanish, "Isla nublar" means cloudy island. This is because most of the time, the coastal mountains block the flow of ocean water vapor to the island. The small environmental water cycle of steam fountains and ocean currents makes it easy to form cumulonimbus over the mountains. Clouds and forests grow wildly in such a climate, and forests are favorable conditions for water storage,Thus, nubula island is always surrounded by clouds.

• Early Jurassic Park

The reason why we call Jurassic Park the early generation is that after the well-known "the incident", the theme park built by InGen company was abandoned. After that, masrani company inherited but did not completely copy the previous project, and even did not continue to build on the existing facilities, but rebuilt a new theme park - Jurassic world.

In the northeastern part of nubula, Mr Hammond has designed a number of giant buildings for visitors, including research facilities for 15 different dinosaur species.Tourists can arrive at nubula island by sea, and enter the tourist center along two parallel roads, while VIP tourists can fly over the waterfall to the tourist center directly by helicopter.

The visitor center is located at the foot of the mountain and is "safe" under the protection of a high-voltage fence.The tourist center has relatively independent hotels and cabins, and tourists can visit and visit according to their own preferences.There are exhibition halls for science popularization and education, laboratories, equipment control rooms, sightseeing garages, and the most exciting dinosaur incubator for Mr. Hammond to observe newly born dinosaurs.

Point to East Wharf

On the East and north sides of the island, there are two wharves for shipping from the Central American continent to nubula island.In the movie, Dennis nedry, who betrays the company, rushes to the east coast dock in the rain after stealing dinosaur embryos. Unfortunately, he fails to succeed and is buried in the mouth of diplodocus.Double Spinosaurus is a species that has to be mentioned in the park. On the regular tour routes of the early paradise, this tiny dinosaur was placed in the first tourist spot because of its unique combination of beauty and danger. The beautiful and high-profile neck fold is a warning for it to launch an attack. The nerve venom splashed from the deep throat is enough to blind the human body,And the whole body is paralyzed and paralyzed.

There is also a large restaurant with outdoor platforms and souvenir shops. Mr. Hammond employs several senior chefs to cook unique Pacific cuisine.At the same time, at the time of the "big event", there was also a high-end hotel on the top of the mountain and a waterway for the theme park was under construction.Interestingly, when Mr. Hammond and his party are having lunch, the background slide sometimes shows that there are more attractive facilities, such as "Jungle River river river", large birdcage facilities and independent restaurant facilities after the park is officially opened.And these are presented in later films.

Sow the seeds of crisis

The nearest to the tourist center is a Triangle dragon training ground with a sightseeing platform and guard tower, and the island's power facilities maintenance depot and emergency shelter are also built here, which also laid a hidden danger for the later major events.

After the "big event", Mr. Hammond also revealed more secrets about nubula island for us. According to his description, nubula island is only a display area of the company's genetic dinosaur plan. The site for breeding real dinosaurs is Sona Island, which is 87 miles west of nubula Island, which is commonly known as site B. after the birth of clone, it will be taken to nubula island for growth.After the "big event", InGen gave up its plan to park on nubula Island, where the abandoned dinosaurs multiplied freely and formed a new ecological environment.These are the afterwords, including the Velociraptor.

Velociraptor

The Velociraptor is the most popular dinosaur in the early Water Conservancy Bureau or in the future Jurassic world. As the most intelligent of all dinosaurs, it has a very sinister and cunning character. It hunts in groups and has a clear division of labor. In a hunting process, it plays the role of assistant attack, auxiliary skill, feint attack, defense and guard,Even better than the primitive humans in the wilderness, they can even kill a Tyrannosaurus Rex under extreme conditions, which can be described as a natural killer. Therefore, when Owen, the trainer, even if he only ostensibly tamed a small group of Raptors (he named them blue, Charlie, Delta and echo), the park managers were extremely surprised and excited.

An overview of nubula Island

Even if Mr Hammond is alive, he can't believe how beyond his imagination the new theme park is, even though he is a miracle maker himself.After the San Diego incident, InGen became more and more difficult to operate, and both the government and the public lost their trust in the company.Masrani's boss, Simon masrani, was also interested in the genetic dinosaur project and was keen to restart the dinosaur theme park. In 1997, after Mr. Hammond's death, he acquired InGen as a wholly-owned subsidiary.The new theme park, Jurassic world, was officially born in 2005.While inheriting Mr. Hammond's will, he seems to have found a way to operate the paradise. However, it turns out that he is just a more crazy businessman.

Tourist center of Jurassic world

In the Jurassic world, the new tourist center has been built into a "tourist service complex", which is also located in the center of the island and centered on the main tourist Avenue. Souvenir chain stores and various theme restaurants are distributed on both sides of the new tourist center. The body of the tourist center is many times larger than that of the Jurassic Park in the early times.The center presents new contents with modern technology, such as holographic images of dinosaurs, interactive experience display screen and a statue of Mr. Hammond, as well as a laboratory for visitors named "Hammond creation laboratory".

The amber that caused everything

At the end of the tourist Avenue, there is a man-made xiehu lake to tame Canglong. Shopping centers, hotels and tourist train terminals are built around the lake, forming an encircling trend.There is a ring stand beside xiehu lake, which is specially designed for tourists to watch Canglong eat. The stand can be controlled to rise and fall. After the staff members feed Canglong, the seats in the stand drop below the water surface and watch the whole process of Canglong eating through high-strength glass. This is also a performance of Canglong, Mosasaurus feeding show
