Chapter 1036 The Ocean of Orchids (12)

There are many kinds of wild orchids in the Orchid Valley, and the resource reserves are abundant, especially Paphiopediphyllum, Saccharomyces japonica, Vanilla, Phnom Penh, Chunlan, Jianlan, etc., which have very large populations.

But this time when the expert group walked into the valley, they suddenly found themselves surrounded by a dense world of orchids: orchids can be seen everywhere on tree trunks, rock walls, rock crevices, and hillsides.

"Be careful, there are orchids under your feet."

Professor Wu hurriedly reminded those colleagues who were stunned, and reminded everyone to be merciful.

"There are too many orchids here, it is simply a paradise for orchids!!" The experts who came for the first time couldn't help but sigh.

The only pity is that it is already winter, most of the orchids have withered, and only a few scattered orchids are blooming.

What makes Professor Wu even more regrettable is that the scene of thousands of butterflies flying here has become a thing of the past, and it is estimated that it will not appear again until next spring.

Thinking of the beautiful moon goddess butterflies and those colorful orchids, Professor Wu felt very regretful. It is a pity that he came at an untimely time. If summer comes, this place will be a sea of ​​flowers and a paradise of butterflies. Biologist their paradise.

But being able to see so many orchids here, Professor Wu felt that the trip was worthwhile, so he hurriedly took out his camera, and was about to take a picture of the spring orchid blooming with emerald green flowers under the tree. The expert shouted to stop: "You are about to step on the orchid under the tree."

It turned out that the green 'grass' under the tree was actually Paphiopediphyllum sclerophyllum.

Just as Professor Wu was about to move away, he suddenly found that where he was going to step down, there was a dark red short grass without leaves growing on the ground.

There are too many orchids here, and the experts who see them are ecstatic, and they have to be careful when walking, worrying about stepping on the flowers and plants here.

The scene in front of them made the orchid experts very excited. They kept taking pictures with their cameras, and some of them put on hat-like professional magnifying glasses to check carefully.A gray-haired old expert found several different kinds of orchids on a cliff of about two square meters on the mountainside, and he was impatient to climb up, which shows that everyone loves and is excited about orchids. .

Suddenly Professor Wu screamed.

"Wow, it's Papudlum chinensis!!"

It turned out that in the depths of the valley, she found a Pachyphyllum chinensis—a rare plant listed as the flagship protection of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and a first-class protected plant in China.

It's a pity that it's not in the flowering period now, otherwise everyone will appreciate its beauty. This flower with Papudendron is like a dancing fairy with open arms, carrying a delicate pocket.

Its unique pocket-shaped lips and changing brilliant colors have conquered the hearts of countless orchid lovers. It is called "the slipper of the goddess" by Europeans, and the blooming P. , The flower posture is excellent.

When the experts took pictures and dug bluegrass samples,
Zhang Feng and the others also chose the open area of ​​Taniguchi to set up camp. Since they already had the experience from last time, Zhang Feng and Master Paoshan led two people to fetch water and firewood, and then cook today's lunch for everyone.

Cooking smoke curled up, drifted slowly in the woods, slowly rose to the sky, and finally drifted to the northwest sky with the breeze, and gradually disappeared without a trace.

"The sparrowhawk is here!!" Suddenly Pao Shan shouted in surprise.

At this moment, an eagle with a wingspan of more than two meters fell from the sky, and the huge movement of the sparrowhawk's landing also attracted everyone's attention.

I saw Sparrowhawk accurately landed beside Zhang Feng, and after putting down the package under its paws, its furry head deep inside rubbed against Zhang Feng intimately.

Seeing this scene, the experts were all dumbfounded in astonishment. They never expected that there would be such a spiritual and intelligent eagle in the world.

"Haha, Little Sparrow is doing well, and he even sent us a package of sliced ​​meat!" Master Paoshan quickly realized that he opened the package that Sparrowhawk brought, and found that there were not only cleaned vegetables, but also a piece of meat inside. Bao meat slices, and not only pork, it seems that there is also beef.

"Tsk tsk! This is simply a cargo drone! It's amazing!!"

The special police next to him came over, tried the weight of the package, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up, looking at Sparrowhawk with hot eyes.

"Old Zhang, haven't you studied eagles? Tell me what kind of eagle is this?"

After dozens of seconds, the experts also reacted and asked Professor Zhang, an expert in poultry research, one after another.

"This... This eagle looks a bit like a sparrowhawk, but its size..." Professor Zhang, who has studied eagles for more than ten years, was also confused. The eagle is so huge that it looks like a small sparrowhawk. Don't match! !

"Old Zhang, do you really study eagles?" Hearing Professor Zhang's words, Professor Wang next to him asked with wide-eyed eyes, because according to his understanding, there is no such big sparrowhawk in the world.

The appearance of the sparrowhawk is very similar to that of a sparrow. It is a small hawk with a wingspan of no more than [-] to [-] centimeters and a weight of only a few kilograms.But this eagle has a wingspan of two to three meters and a height of more than one meter. Apart from looking a bit like a sparrowhawk, its other characteristics have no similarities with the sparrowhawk at all.

"Strange, weird!! What kind of eagle is this!!" Looking at the eagle in front of him, Professor Zhang, an expert in poultry research, was completely confused, because he had never seen such an eagle before. Is it a new species, or a variation of the Sparrowhawk? ?
"Haha, I said, Lao Zhang, you don't know how to ask the owner??" At this moment, Professor Wang reminded with a smile.

"That's right!!" Professor Wang slapped his head, feeling a little annoyed in reality, and walked towards Zhang Feng excitedly.

"Xiaofeng, I don't know what breed your eagle is?"

"It seems to be a sparrow hawk, it must have mutated!" Zhang Feng hesitated, but still gave the answer, because he knew that if he didn't say it, the old man would definitely stare at his little sparrow, maybe I still want to secretly catch it back and study it! !
After Zhang Feng's introduction, although Professor Zhang still had some doubts, he didn't get too entangled. He just observed the physical characteristics of Sparrowhawk at close range with Zhang Feng's permission, and took a few photos.

The experts watched the excitement for a while, and then started to act again. They dug samples of orchids in the Orchid Valley and prepared to take them back for further research.

Because there were too many people entering the mountain, Zhang Feng cooked all the dishes into a pot of mish-mash, which gave off a strong fragrance in a short while.

As for Pao Shan Ye, the delicious rice has already been prepared, and it's finally time for dinner.

"Professor Zhou, Professor Liu yelled to call it a day and call it a day!"

"Hey! We'll be right there!!"

After a busy morning, they came to the mountain road for more than an hour, and worked in the Orchid Valley for more than two hours. The experts were tired and hungry. When they heard that the meal was served, it was like hearing the gospel.
