Chapter 423

While Qin Zhendong talked to Lin Li.

Northeast of Qinling Mountains.

In a signal car at the junction of a mountain forest and a highway, a group of people in wild mining clothes are gathered in front of a monitoring screen.

Whispering and blushing, it looks like watching a small film in the university dormitory.

this moment.

Only the center of the screen.

"Roar -"

Poop, poop, poop——

With a huge orange claw.

Several wild birds immediately flew in panic and fled in all directions.

However, the owner of orange claws did not let them go.

With a roar from the mountains and forests, an orange figure with some fat but very flexible suddenly rose into the air.

Press down with one claw

Hold it in one mouthful

A sweep.

Three simple actions.

He knocked three unlucky eggs down into the mud and died.

A moment later.

The figure fell heavily.

From a positive point of view, this is a big cat... Wrong, giant tiger!

In the signal car, look at the scene photographed by the UAV.

An old expert in his fifties could not help licking his tongue, and his hands holding his glasses trembled:

"Perfect, it's so perfect!

Look at this look... This texture... This fat little belly

I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it.

Before I retired, I could see a living

Wild South China tiger! "

Hear that.

Several young students around the old expert nodded with approval.

The old armored man in the tent is called Cui Xiaofeng. He is 52 years old. He is a professor at the school of biological sciences of Xi'an Jiaotong University.

Although he is not a big man at the ministerial level like Lin Li.

However, since the focus is on the field of large wildlife, there are not too many experiences.

actually.

This type of expert is actually the norm in life.

They are between ordinary professors and top authorities, and belong to the backbone of a college - academicians and members of departments. Even students of key universities may not often see them.

Not long ago.

Cui Xiaofeng and some of his graduate students suddenly received a transfer order:

They were asked to rush to Zhongzhou from Daxinganling to participate in a large-scale comprehensive field exploration mission.

Cui Xiaofeng and others are not surprised by this - this task occurs every year, and even some provinces often take the initiative to invite some experts to conduct joint exploration.

The official account of every two or three days in China will be organized several times.

For example, the location of the recent organization is Qionghai province. I sent thousands of invitations.

Well, that's right.

It's just a simple League building. I don't find anything.

Cough

All in all.

Cui Xiaofeng was not surprised at this task, and soon came back with his students.

After meeting with the person in charge, Cui Xiaofeng's team was soon assigned a task:

According to certain orientation requirements, biological sampling and exploration shall be carried out in a detailed area.

Together with them, there is a geographical team and an archaeological team to shield the whole signal.

Geography, humanities and biology are three in one.

This is a standard 'Dihu' project.

The first mock exam is Cui Xiaofeng, but he doesn't know how many three in one modules are there.

At the beginning, everything was flat without any waves.

However, when the search target came near Gushan Mountain in the eastern part of Qinling Mountains, a graduate student with Cui Xiaofeng suddenly found a footprint.

This footprints with obvious tiger characteristics, soon attracted Cui Xiaofeng's attention.

So Cui Xiaofeng and others continued to search along the relevant footprints while reporting the news.

I didn't expect it.

Searching, I found the tiger that appeared at the beginning.

That is, a

Wild South China tiger!

Wild South China tiger.

These five words are enough to explain everything.

Unlike the famous northeast orange cat, the rarity of South China tiger is undoubtedly much higher.

At present, there are 165 South China tigers in China.

There were 79 males, 84 females and 2 cubs of unknown sex.

Now all 165 South China tigers are descendants of 6 South China tigers, that is, close relatives.

The reason for this is the extinction of the South China tiger in the wild.

you 're right.

Extinction!

According to pedigree records, no confirmed wild South China tiger entity has been found in the mainland for more than 40 years - not even a body has been found.

Older readers may remember a name:

Zhou Zhenglong.

This person took a picture of a wild South China tiger in 2007 and won local recognition and reward. At that time, it caused an uproar on the Internet.

Finally, the authoritative department intervened and found that the photos were taken directly in the jungle with the extracted tiger paintings, which deceived the feelings of many people.

Zhou Zhenglong was also jailed for this. He was the first convicted person of "photo deception".

Currently in China.

As long as you find photos of South China tigers, whether they are footprints, feces or hair, you can get a reward of at least 1000 yuan.

And as long as you can take photos of the living south China tiger, you can get a reward of more than 100000 yuan - 20000 yuan in 2007, and the Wildlife Research Institute of Beilin university raised it to 100000 yuan in 15 years.

Unfortunately, however.

So far, no trace of wild South China tiger has been found in the mainland.

Who can think of the result.

At the end of the Qinling Mountains, such a very healthy South China tiger was found?

For large wildlife researchers like Cui Xiaofeng, it is undoubtedly a dream come true!

Seeing such a wild South China tiger is basically the same as seeing the wife of the paper man in the second dimension. It is a nature that can be called a dream into reality.

Say something bad.

Even if you let Cui Xiaofeng die now, he can rest in peace - and take the initiative to close his coffin.

While Cui Xiaofeng and others were shocked.

Frame——

The door of the signal car was suddenly opened from the outside.

A moment later.

A man in his thirties came in, his hands clasped as he walked:

"Professor Cui, are you busy?"

"Oh, it's director Zhu. We're observing the trend of the target South China tiger."

Cui Xiaofeng politely greeted the visitor and motioned his assistant to pour him a cup of hot water.

Director Zhu is the general person in charge of their exploration operation and is also responsible for various daily scheduling matters.

The specific position is unknown, and the age and name are not clear.

In short, it seems to be a big start. Some links along the way are done in one sentence.

Then director Zhu went to the table, looked at the picture of continuous monitoring of South China tigers and asked:

"Professor Cui, are there any new discoveries these days?"

Cui Xiaofeng hesitated for a few seconds and said uncertainly:

"There is no new discovery, but Xiao Chen and I analyzed some information and found that there seems to be something wrong."

"Oh?"

Director Zhu suddenly became interested and asked:

"Professor Cui, what's the problem?"

Cui Xiaofeng thought for a moment, turned and said to the person around him:

"Xiao Chen, find out the biology report we checked this morning and give it to me."

Xiao Chen in Cui Xiaofeng's mouth was a graduate student he took with him. After being ordered, he looked down in the database and soon found the corresponding document.

Then he pushed the notebook in front of Cui Xiaofeng:

"Teacher, all the information is here."

Cui Xiaofeng nodded, pointed to the screen and said:

"Director Zhu, this is the survey report on hoof density in the nearby area, which was counted in March last year.

According to the report.

The number of ungulates measured by the density transect method in the surrounding 120 square kilometers is 168 and the number of transect method is 237.

Let's take the latter as an example.

That is, there are 237 hoofed creatures in an area of 12km × 10km.

The density of ungulates is not enough to support a tiger, which is also the most favorable argument for the extinction of wild South China tigers.

But look at this South China Tiger

It doesn't seem to be hungry. It seems that the food is pretty good?

Xiao Chen has a big belly. They call him fat house. "

Hearing Cui Xiaofeng's words.

Director Zhu thought for a moment and pointed to the South China tiger path gnawing wild birds on the screen:

"Professor Cui, is it possible that there are a large number of birds nearby, so it has a relatively sufficient food source?"

"Never."

Cui Xiaofeng shook his head seriously and said:

"It is absolutely impossible for wild South China tigers to survive by preying on birds.

It must have an adequate source of meat.

Like the birds in the video, 30 may not be enough for the South China tiger to eat without feathers and bones.

The forest environment nearby is really good, but it is impossible to have more than 100 birds for the South China tiger to prey on every day.

Say something bad.

The energy that a bird can provide may not be comparable to the consumption of bird hunting.

It eats wild birds just like we eat melon seeds or ice cream, mainly to relieve boredom.

It's almost impossible to survive for a long time. There are 100% other energy sources. "

Then Cui Xiaofeng paused and looked hesitant:

"Another thing is..."

"What is it?"

"There seems to be something wrong with the physical quality of this South China tiger."

Director Zhu blinked:

"Physical fitness? What's the saying?"

Cui Xiaofeng pointed to a student near the corner and said:

"This situation was first discovered by Xiao Zheng. At first, we didn't care too much.

Later, we found that the South China tiger was much better than the ordinary South China tiger in terms of body shape and other aspects.

Director Zhu, you may not know.

South China tiger is one of the smallest subspecies of tigers.

The male tiger is only 2.5 meters long and weighs about 150 kilograms.

But according to our observations.

The body length of this male tiger may be close to 3.5 meters, and the weight restored from the paw print may not be less than 300 kilograms.

You know.

The largest Amur tiger found so far is only three meters long.

In addition, its bounce and agility are also abnormal.

How to put it?

It's like ear root... Forget it, change it this time. It's like O'Neill won the championship in the men's 100m Sprint. He has speed and flexibility completely different from his body. "

After hearing these words, director Zhu was stunned.

Then the expression gradually dignified.

It is different from Professor Cui's semi physical and semi social identity.

Director Zhu's full name is Zhu Yuhao, and his real position is a director of the core general affairs department.

He not only knew about the existence of Da Mo world, but even stayed in Da Mo world for several months.

Therefore, when Professor Cui mentioned the abnormal appetite of South China tigers.

He naturally thought of the headquarters' previous judgment on Qinling.

A South China tiger whose size, sensitivity and food source are contrary to the known laws

Will it have something to do with extraordinary power... Or Reiki?

Think of it here.

He thought it over and said to Cui Xiaofeng:

"Professor Cui, next, please follow up the trend of this South China tiger.

I'll keep a small team of attendants to cooperate with your work.

In addition, I will tell the logistics department that your team's UAVs and tracking equipment are supplied 24 hours a day.

If you encounter special circumstances, you can contact the front end at any time. "

Professor Cui was stunned and said in a hurry:

"Director Zhu, isn't such a wild South China tiger going to try anesthetic capture?

The surrounding area is densely forested. If it gets into any corner at night, we may lose its trace.

Even if it's just capture and release after sampling.

There are more than 80 female South China tigers in China. At least keep some fine seeds? "

As an authoritative expert on wildlife.

Cui Xiaofeng is naturally not the kind of narrow-minded person who wants to load an anesthetic needle when he sees a wild sample and put it into the zoo to sell tickets.

In the past ten years.

He once observed many rare wild animals, but in the end he just watched each other go away.

But this time it's different.

The South China tiger found this time may be the only wild South China tiger sample in China today!

Mentioned earlier.

All the artificially bred Amur tigers in China are inbred, and all are the offspring of six South China tigers.

This practice is obviously unhealthy for a population, with great risk and harm.

But we had no choice but to do so.

At present, it's rare to find a wild South China tiger. If you don't catch it and make some contribution

This is a little unreasonable.

As long as it can enter the "field" smoothly, there will be more than 80 female Tigers with different styles.

Besides, as Cui Xiaofeng said.

The surrounding area is densely forested and the geographical conditions are very complex.

Rabbits have HD cameras.

But if the other party suddenly runs away at night, it's not easy to find a trace - there are so many precedents.

For example, the Asian elephant in the previous paragraph.

Such a large volume is still a whole community, and rabbits often lose each other's figure.

Therefore, Cui Xiaofeng's opinion is not very selfish, it can even be said to be a very practical idea.

However, director Zhu did not accept this opinion. After all, the perspectives and starting points of the two sides are completely different.

He made a sign of calmness:

"Professor Cui, don't worry.

We now have a special means to track each other in real time to ensure that our vision will not be lost.

We just don't know much about the habits of this beast. You need to work harder in the next period of time. "

Zhu Yuhao's words were very relaxed. It looked like asking the boss to take a plastic bag after shopping in a small shop.

However, only those who have real access to relevant secrets can understand what he calls "means":

Spiritual tracking of practitioners.

At present, there are nearly 500 soldiers practicing Qi for more than four floors in the camp. They can complete relevant tasks when they are transferred back.

Although the consumption of local spiritual power is a little faster than that of Da Mo world.

But after all, it's just tracking the target regularly. The consumption of spiritual power and mind is not as terrible as opening the space bag.

With the help of pills, it is not difficult to lock a fat house tiger.

As for handing over the follow-up authority to Cui Xiaofeng, this is also a helpless move.

As Zhu Yuhao said.

When it comes to large creatures like South China tiger, professionals like Cui Xiaofeng must be involved.

After all, for ordinary people, you really can't judge some biological information from the image.

In addition, Cui Xiaofeng and his team are not the only ones in the whole search task - the external statement of this operation is a large-scale survey of primitive forest species, involving thousands of scientific researchers.

Incidentally, there are still selective videos on websites such as pili pili.

Therefore, until the South China tiger shows a clear extraordinary ability, the official spiritual power will not take over easily.

After arranging relevant tasks.

Zhu Yuhao suddenly thought of something.

He looked at the video and said:

"As for the name of this observation target..."

"I think it's called fat tiger!"

Today is one watch, but two more
