Qi Kaiyou has been very busy these two days. Not only the paddlefish has reappeared, but also the white-tip dolphin has reappeared.
These are two extinct national treasure-level animals. Now that they have been discovered again, a complete protection measure must be established to prevent them from becoming extinct again.
When he got up early in the morning, he went to the research station arranged for them by Youcheng.
As soon as he entered the door, Professor Lin hurriedly came to the door: "Minister Qi, please take a look at the genetic testing data of the white sturgeon and white-tip dolphin."
"Is the genetic test for the white-tip dolphin also available?" Qi Kaiyou was surprised as he took the test data and read it.
After a moment, surprise appeared in his eyes: "How is it possible? How come the genes of the paddlefish and the white-tip dolphin have these similarities."
When he saw this information, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
Someone on the Internet previously joked that paddlefish can save people. Maybe paddlefish and dolphins accidentally hybridized.
This is naturally nonsense to experts like them.
It is impossible for an egg-laying animal to be a mammal.
Now these two creatures, egg-laying and mammal, are completely unrelated, and they actually have similar genes.
"Are you sure there is nothing wrong?" Qi Kaiyou asked uncertainly.
Professor Lin immediately explained: "I thought there was something wrong at first, so I checked again and it was indeed the case."
"This..." Qi Kaiyou was a little uneasy: "It seems that we need to study not only the protection measures for paddlefish and white-tip dolphins, but also the reasons for their mutations."
Two animals from different families have similar genes, either due to blood hybrid inheritance or atavistic bloodline phenomena...
Moreover, the range of hybrid subjects is very broad.
After all, humans and animals can interbreed, and I still can’t forget the woman who became pregnant with the paparazzi and dedicated her life to the truth about the science of interbreeding.
The strong dog was naturally an outstanding contributor to this experiment.
In addition to these, similar genetic phenomena can only occur under the same environment, because some common mutations have occurred due to environmental abnormalities.
Such environmental changes may also cause similar genes.
It should naturally be impossible for a white sturgeon and a white-fin dolphin to interbreed. After all, they are really two kinds of animals. Egg-laying and lactation are really impossible.
Therefore, there are only environmental changes.
These white sturgeons and white-tip dolphins must have been surviving in a certain environment before, and they were introduced because of the climate change in Yucheng.
But before that, they had already undergone mutations.
Therefore, as long as we figure it out, we might be able to find the environment in which these white sturgeons and white-tip dolphins lived before.
That will be of great significance to the ecological research of their animal protection department.
Qi Kaiyou thought, and then said to Professor Lin: "Professor Lin, I had guessed that climate change in Youcheng would usher in other fish species. The appearance of the white-finned dolphin confirmed my guess. If my guess is correct, there may be other species in the future." There will be other species of extinct fish."
Professor Lin said in surprise: "Mr. Qi, do you suspect that environmental factors caused these paddlefish and white-fin dolphins to mutate? So, there might be other extinct fish species in that special environment?"
"Well, this is my speculation. I need to find an environmental expert to help us investigate together." Qi Kaiyou nodded with a smile.
It’s so comfortable to chat with equally smart people.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Professor Lin knew what he meant.
Professor Lin also nodded and said: "This is really the best possibility."
The two of them have determined this theory, and will next investigate and study in this direction.
…
Qinglin Manor Office.
Qin Lin focused all his attention on the game of light screen in his mind.
He controlled the game character to go to the river section outside Ore Town.
After discovering that he could catch other special fish in another river area, he naturally wanted to control the game character to try fishing in other areas of the river.
[Congratulations on catching a quality 2 wild herring! 】
【…】
[Congratulations on catching a quality 2 wild grass carp! 】
Most of the fish that can be caught in different river sections are herring and grass carp.
However, after catching 7 or 8 fish in a row, a different prompt appeared:
[Congratulations on catching a special river biped! 】
Two-legged fish?
What the hell?
Are there any fish with two legs?
Qin Lin had never heard of this kind of fish, so he immediately turned his attention back and started searching on the computer.
After checking the information, he felt incredible.
There really is such a fish as a two-legged fish.
This is a small fish. Its feet are not real feet, but two fins that have mutated, become longer, and can also bend. It likes to use its double fins to dig in the sand at the bottom of the river to find insects under the sand to eat.
Therefore, these fins are also regarded as feet.
This is where the name Two-legged Fish comes from.
Of course, the two-legged river fish not only has a strange name, it is also a type of river fish that has been extinct for nearly 30 years.
After catching these two fish, Qin Lin had another guess.
He suspected that each section of the river starting from Notre Dame Mountain and traversing Notre Dame Mountain, pastures, wilderness, and Ore Town could catch a special kind of fish.
Qin Lin immediately controlled the game character to go to the wild river area and fished again with bait.
[Congratulations on catching a special long-jawed northern baby! 】
Seeing the word "special", Qin Lin immediately checked it on the computer again.
Sure enough, it is another extinct fish, which became extinct in our country in the 1960s.
Apparently, his guess was right.
He then controlled the game character to try fishing in different sections of the river, and then caught several special fish.
[Congratulations on catching a special white-striped dace! 】
It is another extinct fish, and it is also a small and medium-sized fish. It became extinct in 1981.
[Congratulations on catching a special fish! 】
It is also a special species of extinct inland river fish. It looks like a hairtail and is good at camouflage. It has also been extinct for more than 30 years.
…
Soon, Qin Lin tried fishing in every section of the river and caught nearly 10 species of extinct fish.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Afterwards, he also locked the door of his office, entered the game, and saw the noted attributes of these fishes.
These fish do not have the attributes of being close to humans, being cute, and rescuing humans like paddlefish and white-tip dolphins.
This kind of attribute seems to be unique to the two species of paddlefish and baiji dolphin.
However, these fish also have an ornamental value of +2.
Moreover, the combination of deliciousness +2 and texture +2 is really mouth-watering, but just eating it will take several years to learn how to use a sewing machine with Fanfan.
However, Qin Lin thought that if these fish were put into the real water, it would be shocking to see the white sturgeon and white-fin dolphin appear, which would make this incident even more shocking.
I am afraid that some experts will doubt whether there is an explosion of extinct organisms in the Minjiang River Basin in Youcheng?
After all these fish are discovered, maybe Youcheng, a tributary of the Minjiang River, can be renamed and become the most precious and famous river in the country, right?
After all, which river in the country has so many extinct fish species?
I'm afraid that by then it will be illegal to even throw garbage into the river, and we will have to go in for a few days.
As the river reservoir area, Qinglin Villa will definitely benefit the most. After all, the large reservoir area near the villa is used by Qinglin Villa.
Qin Lin felt it was very meaningful to do this.
Although this only benefits Youcheng in vain, this is his hometown. If you have the ability, who doesn't want his hometown to be better?
When I go out, this is one of my identities, a native of Youcheng.
So, it makes sense.
Youcheng is getting better and better, and naturally you will become more and more proud of your identity as a Youcheng person.
Qin Lin thought about it and continued to control the game character to start fishing.
I didn’t catch a few fish on the first day.
For three consecutive days, more than 3 fish of each type were caught.
He also took advantage of the darkness and drove out of the manor again, planning to find a place to take out these extinct fish from the game.
But now it’s even more difficult to do it quietly.
Because surveillance cameras are installed on the road sections, the entire river is patrolled even at night.
After another extinct national treasure, the white-tip dolphin, was discovered, the county immediately sent additional patrols.
Fortunately, Qin Lin had done this kind of thing a lot, so he always had some experience. After driving about 10 kilometers, he still found a surveillance blind spot, then found a secret place to park and started to go down to the river.
The process was very smooth. There were no patrols when entering and exiting the game. Moreover, they were all small and medium-sized fish, so it was easier to take them out.
After finishing, he immediately drove back to the manor without anyone noticing.
For the next week, he fished every day.
A lot of those extinct fish were caught again, and he went to the river twice more at night to take those fish out of the game and put them into the water.
It's just that these fish are smaller, so they may not be discovered so quickly, but when they are discovered, they will definitely shock everyone again.
…
Night falls.
Qinglin Villa and Qinglin Ranch have been shrouded in lights.
Nowadays, even at night, there are still many people in Qinglin Villa and Qinglin Manor.
Tourists in the bridal chamber area and tourists in the ranch tent area will come out for a walk even at night.
Playing in the villa and ranch at night is also a different state of mind.
Naturally, there are also tourists who stay intentionally, such as eating in a restaurant and wanting to walk around twice after the meal, dragging them into the night.
Some just play in the rest area, deliberately waiting until nightfall to enjoy the night view. There are many such people.
Naturally, Qinglin Villa and Qinglin Manor have no enforcement in this regard. After all, they cannot expel people.
In addition to the pontoon viewing area, which is difficult to rescue due to danger at night, other places will also be open for some time at night.
After all, the lights have already covered the entire villa and ranch.
It’s just too late. It would be troublesome for tourists to go back to rest. It’s quite a distance away from Youcheng.
There were no buses at that time, so you had to wait for a taxi or drive yourself.
In the manor.
Qin Lin, Zhao Moqing, and Lin Fen were finishing dinner when Gao Yaoyao hurriedly came to report: "Boss, those seeds and flowers you planted before are also fluorescent."
Qin Lin immediately knew what Gao Yaoyao was talking about.
After the game upgraded the space land, he took out the mutant space vine and mutant night queen from the game, both of which could absorb light during the day and emit light at night.
The mutant space vine has already begun to collect seeds, and planting has begun in some places in the valleys and mountains of Fairy Tale Mountain.
Now Gao Yaoyao is naturally talking about the mutated Queen of the Night.
The seeds I planted in front of two academicians, Academician Li and Yuan Shan, were said to be seeds I specially cultivated through mutated space vines.
In order to cover up, he even planted some more seeds. Even if there was special soil, most of the seeds would not germinate.
As for other things that can sprout, they are naturally used as cover-ups for the Queen of the Night.
After all, scientific research to cultivate new seeds sometimes depends on probability. He only has one kind of night queen that can fluoresce. This is a matter of luck and probability.
Now the Night Queen must have matured and activated her attributes.
Qin Lin also went out immediately and went to the area outside the hall where the flower pots were placed.
It can be seen that the area has been enveloped in a kind of fluorescence.
Slightly different from the fluorescence of the mutated space vine, the Night Queen's fluorescence is bluish-purple, much softer.
When Qin Lin arrived, Yuan Shan was already there observing the Queens of the Night.
When he saw Qin Lin coming, he congratulated: "Boss Qin, congratulations, one of your seeds has been successful. You can reap the harvest from the first cultivation. Boss Qin, your talent in plants is really amazing."
He and Academician Li knew what was going on with Queen of the Night.
Boss Qin cultivated it from the fairy vines obtained through the valley.
Boss Qin had cultivated a lot of seeds before, and he and Academician Li helped plant them.
Some of those seeds did not survive, and among those that survived, only these Queens of the Night succeeded.
"Academician Yuan, you are exaggerating." Qin Lin responded and began to look at the Night Queens.
The Night Queen produced by the system not only has the advantage of being fluorescent.
The appearance is also more ornamental because of the system attributes.
These few plants alone are very beautiful even without large-scale planting.
If the scale is planted into Fairy Tale Mountain, it will definitely be a very spectacular fairy tale world.
The Night Queen is mature and can emit fluorescence, and Zhao Moqing and the others are also attracted to her.
As soon as Zhao Moqing saw these Night Queen plants, she said: "Husband, these Night Queens can also be planted in Fairy Tale Mountain."
Obviously, this was the first thing she thought of when she saw the Queen of the Night.
What she is most concerned about now is the development of Fairy Tale Mountain.
Qin Lin nodded: "Yes, but we need to collect the seeds of Queen of the Night first."
While Qinglin Manor was observing Queen Night, Qi Kaiyou had already followed Chen Li to Youcheng's logistics park in Youcheng.
The logistics park has already got off work at this time, but Chen Li, the deputy county official, is coming, and people who are off work have to go back to work no matter what.
Naturally, they came here because Qi Kaiyou couldn't wait to get the water detection equipment sent from the capital.
They previously speculated that paddlefish and white-tip dolphins may have been living in a special environment before they were attracted to Yucheng's changed climate.
If this is the case, there may be other extinct fish in the Youcheng section of the river that may also live in that environment, and they may now appear in the Youcheng section of the river.
Therefore, they naturally wanted to explore and search in the water. As long as they could find another extinct fish, their guess would be Chen Li's.
If it really comes to that, it will definitely be a huge discovery in the history of biological environment research.
Then what they have to do next is to find out that special environment.
Soon, Qi Kaiyou and Chen Li led people to find those special instruments, then loaded them into vehicles and transported them back to the station. They couldn't wait to start assembling and debugging the instruments.
In order to verify whether the guess can be established, they don't want to waste any time now.
