"Those are not ordinary pigeons, those are homing pigeons." Qian Bin replied.
Xu Renjie noticed that the man looked very proud when he answered this question.
"Carrier pigeon?" Wei Dazhuang, who was leaning on the doorframe, hesitated.
He didn't say the next words.
He was confident that... no matter what kind of pigeon it was.
In short, they are pigeons.
These white and tender pigeons are kept for feeding even if they don’t eat... Isn’t this because they are full?
Anyway, Wei Dazhuang couldn't quite understand the man's thoughts.
"Yes, carrier pigeons. Before the end of the world, I specialized in raising carrier pigeons. To put it bluntly, these carrier pigeons are no different from my children. Those guys want to kill my children, do you think I can agree to it?"
The more he listened, the more outrageous it seemed. Wei Dazhuang curled his lips.
Xu Renjie nodded in understanding: "It's not easy to raise these pigeons, isn't it?"
Homing pigeons are no different than ordinary pigeons. The requirements for raising conditions and food rations are higher than those of ordinary meat pigeons. This would be easy to say in a civilized society. As long as you have money, you can say anything.
But now is the end of the world. In the end of the world, it is difficult for people to eat and drink... let alone take care of these dozens of pigeons.
But Qian Bin didn't seem to care about this question. He replied casually: "It is definitely difficult, but it is not difficult for those who are difficult, and it is not difficult for those who can. I am specialized in doing this, and I have spent half my life dealing with homing pigeons. . I know their living habits very well. Before the end of the world, there was a lot of pigeon food at home. So I didn’t find it too troublesome.
Of course, the most important thing is this is my hobby. I have feelings for these pigeons. I'm happy to worry about them. I also enjoy it. Hahaha. "
Qian Bin said it very lightly, but the members of the Victors Alliance team felt more or less incredible about it.
enjoying the moment? What's so good about this?
After Qian Bin finished speaking, seeing no one in the field talking, he just kept to himself and continued: "You may think that I am a bit crazy. Haha, it's not surprising. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. My family members are still worried about me in the end of the world. Raising pigeons holds objections.
But I think the homing pigeon is a very important animal, but most people don’t realize its importance.”
Qian Bin's words were no surprise but again surprising.
"What are you talking about? The importance of carrier pigeons?" Wei Dazhuang's eyes showed an exaggerated arc: "Brother, are you kidding us again?"
There is no doubt that after this brief conversation with Qian Bin, everyone can be sure that this man is really good at raising pigeons.
From his side of the conversation, people can understand why he still wanted to protect him despite being so humiliated by the robbers just now.
This guy is really treated like a member of the pigeon family.
As for Qian Bin's views on pigeons... Wei Dazhuang couldn't accept it.
He is a farmer, and he doesn't know the difference between a homing pigeon and a meat pigeon.
In his opinion, in the end of the world, no matter what category he is in, they will all be progress goods.
But Xu Renjie is not as superficial as Wei Dazhuang.
As soldiers, they can become comrades with military dogs.
Therefore, Xu Renjie can understand Qian Bin's feelings for pigeons.
He won't ridicule, let alone tease.
But one thing that interests him right now is... what Qian Bin just said... "I think the homing pigeon is a very important animal, but most people don't realize its importance." .
"Old Qian, you said that homing pigeons are very important animals, and most people don't realize their role... What do you mean? What do you plan to do with these homing pigeons?"
"I..." The voice paused slightly. This was probably the first time Qian Bin encountered someone asking him this question so formally.
He could see the awe in Xu Renjie's expression.
Compared to those who liked to joke with him about this matter, Xu Renjie's consultation undoubtedly gained his approval.
"My... plan is actually very simple. Before Lao Xu answers your question, please answer a question for me first." Qian Bin did not give a direct answer, but asked in reverse.
Xu Renjie nodded calmly: "Tell me, what do you want to know?"
"What do you think is the most disturbing thing in the last days?"
"Eat, drink and have sex." Xu Renjie summed it up concisely and comprehensively.
"Well, indeed, these are indeed a headache. But compared to these normal problems, what else gives you more headaches? I mean...for example, your action process..."
"Okay, just get to the point." Xu Renjie raised his hand to signal.
He understood that Qian Bin was giving him a hint.
However, Xu Renjie doesn't have time to play this kind of "ask and answer" kid's game with Qian Bin now. All he needs is the answer.
"Uh...well, actually what I want to say is communication."
"Communication?" Wei Dazhuang turned away in admiration.
Qian Bin nodded: "Yes, that's right, it's communication. Communication is necessary for our daily lives. But now... the communication system has been destroyed. The communication we can do now is limited distance communication. Basically There is no way to cross large areas or large distances.”
"So... you use carrier pigeons as a communication tool?" Ye Hao understood the meaning of Qian Bin's words and asked uncertainly.
Qian Bin nodded affirmatively again: "Yes, that's right!! I have this idea. Carrier pigeons have the ability to fly for election! In ancient times, many armies used carrier pigeons to convey military information. Today is different from the past, and modern communications are basically paralyzed. , on the contrary, the old methods are more suitable for the current situation. Unfortunately, most people don’t know much about homing pigeons, especially in the last days, when people see this species, their first reaction is to feed it and drink it to supplement protein.”
Qian Bin's explanation ends here.
It should be said that he basically clearly stated what he was thinking.
After he stopped talking, no one in the room answered.
Everyone looked at Qian Bin with their mouths open.
Looking at the surprised and dull eyes of the people around him, Qian Bin sat on the bedside and smiled bitterly and shrugged.
He was used to this kind of scene.
Again, people still treat him as a joke.
But Xu Renjiemu said: "Old Qian, I want to say that there is nothing wrong with your idea. Using carrier pigeons for regular communication is a good idea. It's just..."
Xu Renjie shook his head, but in the end he did not say the next words.
As he said, the idea proposed by Qian Bin is good in itself, but it ignores a problem, a very serious and basic problem.
That is, the biggest problem for mankind at present is not the inability to communicate, but that the human survivor team exists like scattered sand.
Because people's hearts are old and they are suspicious of each other, the most basic trust between people has long been gone.
Everyone avoids each other, so why would they even think of communicating with each other? Contact feelings?
Therefore, it is impossible for this kind of thing to be popularized and accepted by most people.
At least at the current stage of human society, this matter cannot be popularized.
