Just think, Pyotr Stepanovich.
Well, of course, it's highly possible that the ray will have the same effect on the deuteroplasma of a chicken egg as on the plasma of amphibians.
It is also highly possible that he will hatch out chickens.
But neither you nor I can say precisely what sort of chickens they will be.
They may be of no earthly use to anyone.
They may die after a day or two.
Or they may be inedible.
And can I even guarantee that they'll be able to stand up.
Perhaps they'll have brittle bones." Persikov got excited, waved his hand and crooked his fingers.
Quite so," Ivanov agreed.
Can you guarantee, Pyotr Stepanovich, that they will be able to reproduce? Perhaps that character will hatch out sterile chickens.
