1
Before we named the stars, before we mapped the atom, we asked ourselves an impossible question.
2
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
3
For the first time in human history, there's finally an answer.
4
We at Colossal have solved it.
5
Introducing the colossal artificial egg.
6
It all begins with the chicken egg.
7
We didn't want to just reimagine the egg, we wanted to completely re-engineer it.
8
We are looking toward a future where we need breakthrough technologies.
9
We need different solutions, new solutions.
10
How do we replicate nature but also improve upon it?
11
Imagine a world where we actually have hundreds or thousands of eggs or eventually artificial wounds in laboratories growing critically endangered species.
12
This is the stepping stones that artificial wound will be built on.
13
This device changes everything.
14
Everything.
15
Now showing the world that we can actually grow this whole bird now in an incubator outside of an eggshell.
16
Complete game changer.
17
Unlocks massive potential.
18
I am looking at the world changing and I'm holding it in my hands.
19
I think that this is really a big step for science this whole, honestly.
20
Hold on to your chickens.
21
This is the Colossal Artificial Egg.
22
Life fired away.
23
The Colossal Chicken and Egg story starts right here.
24
Welcome to the Colossal Avian Facility.
25
Every day is an egg hunt, and the birds are happy and healthy.
26
We collect the eggs right after they've been laid, so we can bring them to the lab.
27
And then our embryology team takes over.
28
They thoroughly examine each egg.
29
Check that we have a fertilized viable egg.
30
And select those that look most likely to hatch into a beautiful little bird.
31
So once we have that egg, then we have to crack it open very, very gently to put it into the artificial egg.
32
That stage there is very critical.
33
You do it delicately, smoothly.
34
It's really, really difficult to compete with evolution.
35
To design a way to grow an embryo without
36
that eggshell is a really big engineering and biology hurdle that we had to get across.
37
It is the first time that the core engineering problem of artificial eggs has been solved.
38
As we developed the design, we began with a natural egg.
39
So the colossal artificial egg is a world's first in terms of the design level and sophistication.
40
The first major structure is a rigid outer shell.
41
The shell provides the protection, rigidity.
42
It took us over 14 iterations to find the perfect shell.
43
Hexagons are the best of guns.
44
Really great at being efficient and giving structure, but also the gas exchange.
45
Our permeable membrane allows oxygen to diffuse into the system through the membrane at ambient temperatures.
46
It's got a really big window on the top
47
that you can actually really look at and see
48
and understand exactly what is happening to that embryo real-time visibility into every stage of embryonic development.
49
This is a real breakthrough.
50
It enables us to also manipulate bird development in very predictable ways.
51
You will place them in our incubator.
52
Every day you're going in, you're either doing a quick checkup or you're doing a full checkup.
53
You can see the eyes developing, the shape of the body.
54
You can start to see a heartbeat.
55
What makes avian reproductive biology difficult is that developing chicken has to get everything that it needs from the egg.
56
We sprinkle in the nutrient that helps the embryos continue to develop.
57
18 days later, that's about day 21 of a regular egg.
58
It starts to do those regular behaviors that a chicken would do when it starts to hatch, and we call that pippi.
59
And that's when it actually starts to tap against the artificial egg to tell us that it's ready to hatch.
60
And now it wants to start moving.
61
It knows it needs to go and fight to get air.
62
When I heard the chick that came out of the artificial egg went through my mind, this is amazing, and how do I get to live this life?
63
It's like feeling every human emotion simultaneously, and you want to jump up and down and scream for joy, but you also want to protect it and bubble wrap it all at the same time.
64
It wants to get up, it wants to explore, visually processing its world, but then it also needs a lot of naps, and we always call it the power down phase.
65
Ooh.
66
So then it's up again and it wants to see.
67
It's that moment where I realize that I'm holding the very first thing that all these people
68
worked so hard for and I'm the very blessed one that gets to be there for the creation of it.
69
It's amazing.
70
It's absolutely amazing.
71
It's beautiful.
72
It is a beautiful thing.
73
So post hatching once the birds emerge from the artificial egg my team's focused on all their care and development.
74
We start every project and we finish every project every project.
75
As they hatch in groups we bunch them up
76
and then we go ahead and we put them with their buddies
77
and then we move them to a bigger brooder and then they're going to go to a graduation pen, more outside, see the sun, see the grass and then they'll go to the eventual large farm.
78
We're responsible for everything about their lives.
79
We want them to both be healthy physically but also mentally.
80
You're the person that has to watch for all their welfare
81
and really make sure you're putting that animal first because it's a living being and it deserves that.
82
Colossal's artificial egg project is fundamental to the success of our MOA de-extinction project.
83
There's no current bird that can actually take a South Island giant MOA egg to term.
84
They're just not large enough.
85
A size of bird that doesn't exist on the planet anymore.
86
It's huge.
87
They were up three meters, three and a half meters.
88
We need this artificial egg to be able to bring a species of that size back into reality.
89
My entire life I was told that the MOA was extinct, but we're now at the point where being extinct isn't really the end of the story.
90
We can really start to understand so much more about the way that birds develop and grow.
91
Colossal's artificial egg project to me is another example of the way
92
that the work we're doing here at Colossal has the potential to change the way we do biodiversity conservation.
93
Being able to share this milestone for the world makes me incredibly proud that we're delivering on our promises.
94
It is also the first of many exogenous development technologies coming from Colossal.
95
This is just the beginning.
96
And that is the colossal chicken and egg story.
97
Now, for the first time ever, you're about to witness the creation of life inside the colossal artificial egg.
98
Here it is.
99
Here it is.
100
Here it is.
101
Here it is.
102
Here it is.
103
Here it is.
104
Here it is.
105
Here it is.
106
Here it is.
107
Wait till you see what's next.
108
Woo!
109
Woo!
110
Woo!

本節課練習什麼？
這節課我們通過觀看“世界最先進人工蛋孵化小雞”的影片，練習英語口語表達。你將學習科技類話題的常用詞彙，模仿影片中的語速和語調，提升口語流暢度。無論是日常交流還是雅思口語練習，這種結合實際內容的訓練都很有效。
核心詞彙與短語
- artificial egg：人工蛋
- embryonic development：胚胎發育
- gas exchange：氣體交換
- critical endangered species：極度瀕危物種
- real-time visibility：即時可見性
練習技巧：如何高效Shadow Speech？
影片語速中等，講解清晰，很適合做shadow speech練習。建議先完整聽一遍，熟悉內容後，逐句跟讀。注意模仿說話人的語氣，比如提到“重大突破”時的興奮感。練習時重點關注提高英語發音，尤其是“embryology”“permeable”等長單詞的重音。每天堅持15分鐘，不僅能提升口語流暢度，還能積累科技類表達，對雅思口語練習幫助很大。用看YouTube學英語的方式，邊學知識邊練口語，一舉兩得！
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | will be built · they've been laid · has been solved |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | have solved · they've been laid · has been solved |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
