孵化 (fū huà): การเพาะพันธุ์

The hen sits quietly in the straw nest, using her body heat to incubate the eggs; more than twenty days later, a brood of fluffy chicks breaks out of their shells.

This startup was incubated by a university laboratory; the school provides space and seed funding, while the student team is responsible for turning the technology into a product.

To save this endangered species of sea turtle, researchers in the nature reserve bring the eggs from the beach to an incubator; after artificial incubation, they release the hatchlings back into the sea.

The government's startup support program has already incubated hundreds of small technology companies, many of which now employ dozens of workers.

This idea was initially just a line in my notebook; after half a year of discussion and revision by the team, it finally incubated into a working app.
