Not only Qi Kaiyou realized it, but other experts also realized that it was not a paddlefish.
Even a layman like Chen Li understood it.
If it’s not a paddlefish, then what is it?
What other fish is that big in the reservoir?
"Quick... hurry up and take a look." Qi Kaiyou shouted hurriedly.
He realized one thing. If climate change in Yucheng attracted paddlefish, then who said it was impossible to attract other fish? ?
Perhaps this is the fish that was attracted.
But what kind of fish can grow to such a big size?
The speedboat moved forward at a very slow speed because Qi Kaiyou was afraid that too much movement would scare the fish that just appeared.
But when he was shocked, the fish seemed to have noticed their approach, and actually swam towards them on its own initiative, and was soon around their speedboat.
Qi Kaiyou also asked people to stop the speedboat. Then, they heard a splash, and a white figure jumped out of the water and appeared in their eyes.
Another splash, and another white figure jumped out of the water.
Both figures completed a perfect arc and crashed into the water again, which was very interesting to watch.
Seeing this white figure, Qi Kaiyou and others were shocked.
It's not a fish.
"Sea...dolphin? Albino?" an expert said subconsciously.
Because its appearance and body shape are that of a dolphin.
"That's not a dolphin." Another expert immediately shook his head.
Why do dolphins appear in inland rivers? Not to mention those attracted by the climate change in Yucheng.
The guess is not valid.
"Baiji dolphins! They seem to be baiji dolphins!" Qi Kaiyou suddenly exclaimed and said a name that shocked himself.
Others who heard the word "baiji dolphin" were equally shocked.
Baiji Dolphin, they all know that it is in the books, and the information has been sealed in the department for more than 20 years.
Because they have been extinct for more than 20 years.
What is appearing in front of us now is the white-tip dolphin that has been extinct for more than 20 years?
This is even more incredible than the appearance of paddlefish in Youcheng.
Moreover, this white-finned dolphin is actually more beautiful and more beautiful than what is recorded in books and video materials, as if several levels of beauty have been turned on.
These two were the second white-finned dolphins created by Qin Lin. Because of their +2 ornamental properties, they immediately attracted the attention of people like Qi Kaiyou.
Naturally, in their eyes, this is how the baiji dolphin should be.
What's in the books and video materials is because the technology of 20 years ago was limited and it was impossible to capture the beauty of the white-skied dolphin.
Just like now when I look at the video materials from 20 years ago, they are very moldy and crude.
More importantly, there are no more baiji dolphins for them to compare and visit.
So, this is what the white-tip dolphin should have been like, right?
Chen Li looked at the uncomfortable expressions of these people and asked, "Everyone, what is this white-tip dolphin?"
Qi Kaiyou immediately explained: "Chen County, congratulations to Youcheng. This is the white-tip dolphin, which is a national treasure that has been extinct for more than 20 years."
"???" Chen Li was stunned and asked: "It has been extinct for more than 20 years, so how did it appear now?"
Qi Kaiyou shook his head and said: "I don't know for sure. I can only guess that when the baiji dolphin was declared extinct, no baiji dolphins were found in Fujian Province. Therefore, the baiji dolphin may now be attracted by the climate of Youcheng."
This is what he can think of so far, as to whether he still needs to do more research.
Naturally, he would not have thought that the white-finned dolphin appeared out of thin air, and the reason was just a guy who had opened a cheat.
Qi Kaiyou began to take the experts to observe the two white-tip dolphins.
They were shocked to find that these two white-finned dolphins were as close to people as the paddlefish, and they were even more intimate and cute.
Just like a spoiled child.
Qi Kaiyou also pretended to fall into the water, and a white-skied dolphin immediately swam over and picked him up. The speed was faster than that of the paddlefish, and the rescue was more timely.
For some reason, Qi Kaiyuan realized that these two white-finned dolphins had many similarities with those paddlefish.
But one lays eggs and the other breastfeeds, how can they be similar? It’s hard to explain.
When Qi Kaiyou led people to observe the two white-tip dolphins, Chen Li couldn't help but call Sun County to report.
Forget about the white sturgeon, animals that have been extinct for more than 20 years have appeared. The benefits of climate change in Yucheng seem to be more than superficial.
county.
Sun County is looking at the document, which is about creating a white sturgeon nature reserve.
He felt that he was really lucky.
When he first came to Youcheng, the situation in Youcheng was really a mess.
Therefore, the development plan of global tourism + is also his attempt.
This attempt was effective, but the initial effect was very small. It took five years to improve some of Youcheng's backward conditions.
But since Boss Qin auctioned the small villa two years ago, everything has changed.
Qinglin Villa, Qinglin Ranch, Qinglin Company, and Qinglin Laboratory appeared one after another, which also promoted tourism in Youcheng and benefited the entire Youcheng.
In just two years, Youcheng has experienced a qualitative development. This rate of increase is even incredible to the outside world.
This was definitely something he never dared to think about when he came to Youcheng and even made a global tourism+ plan.
In other words, whoever was sitting in his place wouldn't dare to think of such a thing.
So, he is very lucky. I think many people should envy him, right?
Not long ago, climate change also occurred in Youcheng. It became warmer in winter and cooler in summer, which is the most suitable climate for tourism and vacation.
It's as if God directly added a BUFF to Youcheng's travel.
What’s even more incredible is that climate change has attracted paddlefish, a creature that was declared extinct not long ago.
Therefore, Youcheng is going to build a white sturgeon nature reserve again, which is another matter of fame and fortune.
He also got all the documents related to the protected area in the first time.
Just as he was thinking about it, his cell phone rang. When he saw that it was Chen Li, he answered it immediately.
Chen Li's excited voice came immediately: "Sun County, you may not believe it, but Minister Qi and I discovered another extinct animal, the white-tip dolphin. Moreover, it was extinct more than 20 years ago, and its status is higher than that of the paddlefish."
"Really?" Sun Xian stood up.
The white sturgeon has already brought fame and fortune to Youcheng. Now tell him that there is another white-tip dolphin that became extinct more than 20 years ago in Youcheng, and its status is higher than that of the white sturgeon?
Is Youcheng really being taken care of by God?
Chen Li's voice came again: "Sun County, Minister Qi and the others have confirmed that the white-tip dolphins discovered are as close to humans as the paddlefish, and can also rescue people who fall into the water. They can even rescue people faster than those paddlefish. The main thing is These white-tip dolphins are also very beautiful and full of ornamental value, so we have two national treasure-level protected animals in Youcheng.”
"Two national treasure-level protected animals." Sun Xian also murmured excitedly, subconsciously looking at the document of the White Sturgeon Nature Reserve in his hand.
Is it inappropriate to call it the White Sturgeon Nature Reserve anymore?
…
Visitors to the pontoon viewing area at Qinglin Villa spent most of their time leaning on the railings, taking pictures of the paddlefish emerging from the water.
These days, the paddlefish has almost become the topic of the entire Internet. This is everyone's welcome to the return of the national treasure. Such great attention also means that humans will cherish them in the future.
How could you not cherish a national treasure that was lost and found?
During this time, posting videos and photos of paddlefish to WeChat Moments seems to have become mainstream.
As long as a video of a white sturgeon posted by a certain voice is tagged with the tags of Qinglin Villa and White Sturgeon, it will be easily recognized by the traffic pool, gain traffic, and increase likes and comments.
This is another reason why so many tourists want to come to the floating bridge viewing area.
Wang Qiang is one of such tourists. He posts on WeChat Moments and posts certain audio and video.
However, his career is also related to photography, so he shoots and posts videos in a planned manner, which is different from other tourists who just shoot on a whim.
Wang Qiang adjusted his photography machine, which is a smart small camera that can capture high-speed and clear images.
He stared at a wave that appeared on the water and moved the camera. He knew that a paddlefish had appeared.
It will pop up in no time.
Bubbles were surging on the water, and he immediately focused on the center of the video to capture the moment when the paddlefish emerged from the water.
The next moment, a paddlefish emerged... No... wasn't that a paddlefish?
Wang Qiang's eyes widened slightly.
A white figure jumped out of the water and jumped into the air. The height was higher than the height of the pontoon, showing its amazing power.
"What is this?" There was an exclamation next to him.
"It's not a paddlefish, it jumps so high." Someone else exclaimed.
"It looks like a dolphin!"
"No way, dolphins can't live in this kind of water."
"..."
The tourists were surprised and attracted at the same time.
The same goes for Wang Qiang. He was so surprised that he forgot to catch the thing jumping out of the water.
Then, he saw the dolphin-like white figure swimming towards the paddlefish, playing in circles with them, and even making sounds, as if they were happily communicating.
This scene is so amazing.
But no one knew what this white figure was.
Moreover, there was not only one white figure, but several more appeared later. They jumped out of the water one after another, becoming a spectacle that attracted everyone's attention.
Tourists took pictures.
Regardless of what this is, let’s take a video and upload it first.
The videos of these tourists quickly became popular, attracting more and more people’s attention.
An old fish biology expert saw these videos and published a video that attracted everyone's attention:
"As a fish industry researcher, I have been in this industry for decades, so I was very excited about the news that the paddlefish had returned half a month ago."
"This is our national treasure. Only when it is lost can we know how to cherish it. In fact, I already experienced this kind of loss 20 years ago."
"At that time, we had another national treasure called the white-tip dolphin. Its survival time, value, and status exceeded that of the paddlefish. At that time, the white-tip dolphin was the national treasure, and the paddlefish could only take a back seat."
"But 20 years ago, the baiji dolphin was declared extinct. I also experienced it personally. It was a very sad thing. Over the past 20 years, I have always watched the images of the baiji dolphin in the past to commemorate them."
"What I didn't expect was that that magical place called Youcheng not only brought back the extinct paddlefish, but also the white-tip dolphin that was exterminated 20 years ago. When I said this, I had already bought Air tickets, I really want to see these old friends as soon as possible... That's really incredible..."
The words of this old expert instantly caused a wave of waves on the Internet.
The dolphin-like animal that just appeared in Youcheng is an animal called the white-tip dolphin that became extinct more than 20 years ago?
I believe this is the first time for many people to have heard the name Baiji Dolphin.
Everyone has searched for the baiji dolphin, whether it is the 25 million years of existence history or various information, after knowing the baiji dolphin. All of them are shocking.
This is really a national treasure more precious than the paddlefish.
Now these two national treasures appear in Youcheng at the same time, which is so shocking.
Or as this old expert said, Youcheng is really a magical place.
the next day.
The Department of Conservation of Rare Animals also released news again, confirming that in addition to the white sturgeon, the white-tip dolphin, which became extinct 20 years ago, has appeared in Youcheng.
The news completely exploded online.
In addition to the topic of white sturgeons on the Internet, there is also news about white-tailed dolphins. No celebrity or Internet celebrity can even think of getting ahead in this kind of heat.
Youcheng, in a building in the industrial zone, Chen Li and Qi Kaiyou have already arrived.
Because they needed to establish a nature reserve and study the emerging paddlefish for better protection in the future, experts like Qi Kaiyou did not go back so quickly. You Cheng specially arranged this building for them as their residence.
After Qi Kaiyou brought people back here, he hurried to a room.
You can see that there are various equipment and appliances placed in this room.
There was already an expert tinkering among several utensils.
When Qi Kaiyou came back, he reported: "Minister Qi, I studied the genes of those paddlefish and found that their genes are really different from those of the paddlefish we knew before. It should be these mutations that make those paddlefish Paddlefish are different.”
Qi Kaiyou nodded and immediately handed a tube in his hand to the expert and said: "This is the skin flakes of the white-tip dolphin. Professor Lin, please try your best to test it. All the information we have about the white-tip dolphin is from 20 years ago." Come down."
Professor Lin nodded, took the tube, and began to operate it.
In the following time, apart from eating and resting, he spent most of the time here for testing.
But as the test continued, a look of disbelief gradually appeared on his face.
"This... this is impossible..." Professor Lin had a ghostly expression in his eyes.
Because he found some similarities with the paddlefish genes in the genes of the white-fin dolphin.
Is this a joke?
One is oviparous and the other is mammal. What is the reason why their genes are similar?
A joke from the Creator?
