《The Meg 2》The original novel is: 《Deep Sea Jurassic》(Meg:ANovelofDeepTerror).

《Deep Sea Jurassic》In the original work, the author intentionally wrote the Tyrannosaurus rex as T-Rex, which is very provocative.He wisely avoided the cookie-cutter dinosaur themes and chose a more realistic theory of the survival of the megalodon.

However, both the author himself and his paleontology professor Jonas Taylor have forgotten one thing: there were indeed sharks in the dinosaur era, but the megalodon was a species that appeared after the dinosaurs became extinct.For a novel that purports to be about real horror, it's a bit embarrassing.Perhaps this is an omission in the selection of materials, but it is more likely that it was done deliberately to increase selling points.Interestingly, Elton silently deleted a lot of erroneous scientific knowledge in the revised version released in 2005, but retained the details of the dragon-shark battle, which shows its importance.
