Chapter 218: Ancient Chinese Fruit
Lin Xing'an walked up to the two reindeer suspiciously, stretched his head to look at the rattan baskets on the back of the reindeer, and couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.

"Skygazing tree, blue scale fern, snowdrop, bignonia, this is Benne cycad, bare fern, my God, reed tree, scale tree, lynne fern---"

Lin Xing'an checked the saplings in the rattan basket, and kept reporting their names, speaking louder and louder, with uncontrollable excitement.

After Zhang Nan and the others heard Lin Xing'an's voice, they also ran over to watch.

He Ling and Su Guoer didn't know much about plants at all. They just ran up to watch the excitement. They saw that Ling Zikai collected quite a lot of plant seedlings, which they had never collected in the old forest in the past two days. Although I don't know what kind of species I saw, I can guess from Lin Xing'an's expression that it must be something extraordinary.

But in the eyes of Zhang Nan, who is a professional, he can see at a glance that these seedlings are almost all rare species that have been recorded in the data before, but are now extinct. Baba said: "This, this is impossible! Kai, Brother Kai, where did you collect these species?"

He Ling asked from the side: "Nan Nan, look at your surprised look, are these seedlings very rare?"

Zhang Nan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and explained in a dry voice: "Sister Ling, you don't know, these plants can't be described as rare! These seedlings have been declared by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Any one of the extinct or endangered rare plants on the earth will cause a sensation."

"According to you, these plants are priceless!"

He Ling looked at the plants in the rattan basket suspiciously, pointed to a few plants with strange shapes and asked, "Nan Nan, what kind of tree do you think this is? I seem to have seen it somewhere before."

Zhang Nan glanced at it and said, "These are rock cypresses, a unique "national treasure" plant in our country. They have been declared to have disappeared for more than 100 years, and later they were found sporadically in some places and survived, and were rediscovered by the World Conservation Union. Listed as a world-class critically endangered species."

"Cyan cypress?"

He Ling frowned when she heard the name, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, I remembered. There is such a bonsai in the VIP room of our Tianlong headquarters, as if Just call Yancypress! It is said that the group bought it from an exhibition for more than 500 million yuan! The saplings planted in the pot are not as big as these few plants!"

He Ling turned her head to Ling Zikai and shouted, "Wow, Ling Zikai, you've made a fortune! There are four rock cypress trees here, and if you sell them, they will cost more than 2000 million yuan!"

Ling Zikai said disapprovingly: "He Ling, I said that you were born in a billionaire's family after all, so such a small amount of money shocked you into such a state, and if you spread the word, you won't be afraid of being laughed at!"

He Ling snorted and said, "Ling Zikai, you are so loud, you think you are the richest man in the world!"

Ling Zikai didn't want to quarrel with her, so he turned his head and ignored her, looked at Lin Xing'an who was holding the suspected ancient Chinese fruit plant and inspected it repeatedly, and said, "Uncle Lin, I picked that plant in a stream , can you recognize what plant it is?"

Lin Xing'an seemed to be in deep thought. After being woken up by Ling Zikai's question, he raised his head and asked in amazement, "What did you say?"

Before Ling Zikai could speak, Zhang Nan had already walked up to Lin Xing'an, looked at the plant in his hand, and shouted in disbelief: "Teacher, what kind of plant are you holding in your hand? Why does it look like an ancient Chinese fruit?" ?”

"Do you also think it looks like an ancient Chinese fruit?"

Lin Xing'an glanced at Zhang Nan, then shook his head, and said, "When I saw it, I also felt that it was very similar to the ancient Chinese fruit in those fossils, but do you think it is possible?"

Zhang Nan nodded and said: "The ancient Chinese fruit is an ancient plant in the Cretaceous period. It is nearly [-] million years ago, and the plants of the same period have become fossils. How can it survive to the present!"

"Your words are not convincing!"

Lin Xing'an said in a guiding tone: "It's not that there are no species left over from that period, isn't it like the spinosa plant? It's just that after a long time, the species we see now are not in the original form. , but has evolved to varying degrees. But the plant in front of me still retains the state of ancient times, which violates the laws of nature. It has to make people doubt its authenticity. Let's not care whether it is Chinese or not. Gu Guo, this is the first time I have seen this plant, and there is no doubt that it has high scientific value."

Speaking of this, Lin Xing'an turned to Ling Zikai and said, "Brother Ling, the surprise you brought me this time is too great! Thank you!"

It was the first time Ling Zikai saw Lin Xingan showing sincere gratitude to him. Even when he invited him to build a base in the forest farm, he was not as excited as he is now.

It seems that the weight of these collected plants in his mind is somewhat beyond his imagination.

"Uncle Lin, we don't need to be so polite! As long as you think these plants are useful, you will have a chance to collect them in the future!"

Listening to the meaning hidden in Ling Zikai's words, it seems that there are more unknown species in Tiger Leaping Stream. Lin Xing'an was excited but also felt a little regretful. If he could enter that mysterious place and see it personally Those dream things are worth it even if you leave your old bones there.

Ling Zikai asked Lin Xingan about their collection of species.

There are countless species of plants in the original forest land, and it is impossible to collect them all.

Lin Xing'an also knew that this was a huge project, and it could not be completed by entering the mountain once.You can't become fat just by eating a single meal, and the plants that Ling Zikai collected from Tiger Leaping Stream have completely exceeded his expectations.So he told Ling Zikai that the goal of going into the mountains this time has been completed, and he can go back to the forest farm.

Although Ling Zikai really wanted to leave immediately, but seeing the sunset on the hill, he said, "Everyone has worked hard these past few days, so let's have a good night's rest and leave tomorrow morning."

In a blink of an eye, Su Guoer was sitting in front of the tent, wiping the brand new shotgun with a towel, then walked over, and said with a smile, "Are your hands itchy?"

Su Guoer said in a dull voice: "What can I do if my hands are itchy? I bought this shotgun for half a month, and it hasn't even been loaded with bullets. It's almost like a fire stick!"

"Okay, don't complain, make an exception today, let you have a gun addiction, go shoot a hare or something, and reward everyone."

"really?"

Su Guoer jumped up when he heard the words, and when he saw Ling Zikai nodded, he immediately picked up the shotgun and ran into the nearby woods, fearing that Ling Zikai would repent, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Hey, why are you so anxious! Remember not to hit those protected animals."

Ling Zikai yelled in the direction where Su Guoer disappeared.

"understood!"

Su Guoer's response came from the forest, echoing for a long time in the mountains and forests.
