Chapter 1461: Unnatural Nature Reserve (Second update, please subscribe)

The development of medical technology may not necessarily change the world, but it can always change the fate of some people.

Thanks to the development of medical technology, many incurable diseases in the past have been conquered. For example, tuberculosis was once an incurable disease that killed millions of people, but the invention of streptomycin changed everything and allowed many people to survive.

In fact, it is not just tuberculosis that has been conquered. The invention of statins has enabled many patients with coronary heart disease to survive.

For Lin Huiyin, if it weren't for the invention of streptomycin, she would not have been able to see her son get married and have children, and would not have been able to enjoy family happiness and grandchildren like she does now. Of course, not many people would consider the other possibility.

"Grandma, look, tiger, tiger..."

On the overturned SUV, the little boy pointed at a tiger in the distance and shouted excitedly. Following the direction of his grandson's finger, Lin Huiyin saw several big tigers between the meadows, staring at the SUV with eager eyes.

Although there are always such tour buses passing through this nature reserve, the tigers still feel that their territory is being invaded.

"Mom, look, that's the South China tiger."

Liang Congjing looked at Tiger and said:

"There are 17 tiger groups in this nature reserve, with a total of 276 South China tigers. They were all captured from Xiaoxiang Province, Jiangxi Province, and Guangdong Province. Now there are not only large and small populations in the reserve on the main island, with more than tigers, but also about populations in Dongning. Those populations mainly come from Hubei and Shaanxi, and they come from the same area as the pandas..."

Listening to her son introducing these things like a treasure, Lin Huiyin said with a smile:

"It seems that these animals have taken root here just like us."

I am very pleased to see my son's face. He wanted to study architecture at Nanyang University but failed to get in due to a few points difference. He then switched to study biology. Unexpectedly, he later devoted himself to animal protection. This reserve is also the largest in the country.

"Not only that, there are also baiji dolphins in the river. Now their population is also breeding smoothly and has fully adapted to the local environment. There are also white rhinos..."

Liang Congjie, who has been working in the nature reserve for nearly ten years, always has a smile on his face that is hard to conceal when he talks about the animals in the reserve. After all, many of those animals are not native to this place, but they have already reproduced and thrived here.

As if to prove his words, several majestic white rhinos were walking slowly in the grassland swamp in the distance. Looking at those white rhinos, Liang Congjie's tone became a little low, and he said:
"There are less than 1,000 northern white rhinos left in Kenya due to poaching, and people are poaching them every year. Now, the largest population of northern white rhinos is here. In fact, it is not just the northern white rhinos that are facing this situation.

The same is true for the South China tiger. More than a decade ago, thousands of tiger skins and a large number of tiger bones were exported every year. However, in recent years, the number has been decreasing. Last year, only a few dozen tiger skins were exported. Although there is no accurate data, the institute believes that the South China tiger should have begun to become regionally extinct a few years ago. Perhaps, in a few years, they may become extinct, at least in the wild..."

When talking about the experiences of those wild animals, Liang Congjie looked at the group of northern white rhinos in the sunset, looked at the giant beast, and said with a somewhat lost tone:

"By then, perhaps, we will be the only wild population,"

Seeing her son looking somewhat lost, Lin Huiyin comforted him:

"So, this is why we set up nature reserves to protect them!"

"Yes, but we were criticized by some animal protection organizations in Europe and the United States for doing this. They accused us of protecting and exterminating animals, saying that native animals such as saltwater crocodiles have become extinct here due to the invasion of foreign species and hunting by humans. They even called our place an "unnatural nature reserve."

Liang Congjie looked at the northern white rhinoceros in the distance and said:

“But if we hadn’t established the reserve, perhaps they would have been hunted to extinction by humans, or even completely disappeared from the world. By the way, there are many artificially bred pandas at the panda base we are going to, but in the end, they will all be released to the plateau. They mainly live on plateaus above 3200 meters above sea level. Only the Shenshan Mountains and the plateau in Dongning are suitable for their survival…”

As they talked, the Land Rover SUV drove along the dirt road. The children looked at the animals in the reserve through the steel wire on the window, and shouted in surprise from time to time.

There are many wild animals living in this reserve covering tens of thousands of square kilometers. In addition to animals from the north such as pandas, South China tigers, white-headed storks, and crested ibises, there are also rare wild animals such as the northern white rhinoceros. Thanks to official protection, they can live and reproduce safely here.

After nearly two hours, the off-road vehicle finally reached the plateau, where there were vast expanses of bamboo forests. Occasionally, you could see a few silly pandas among the plateau meadows. When the children saw them, they immediately screamed with excitement.

Pandas have always been the most popular animals. Not only do they have their own exclusive air-conditioned "luxury villa" in the zoo, they are also stars in the nature reserve. Tens of thousands of people come here to visit every year. Of course, thanks to this business card, the nature reserve has not only gained rich tourism revenue, but also received a large amount of donations.

After entering the panda base, unlike the children who went to see the baby pandas, Lin Huiyin took a walk in the base with her husband. Looking at the bamboo forest on both sides of the path, Liang Sicheng couldn't help but say:
"I can't believe that so many animals have taken root here now."

"yes,"

Lin Huiyin nodded and said:
"In fact, animals have strong adaptability. They have survived millions of years ago by adapting to the environment. The same is true for us humans."

"Survival of the fittest."

Liang Sicheng thought for a moment, then said:

"But that's not the case. Some animals need to be protected. After all, humans will continue to hunt them. This nature reserve is to protect those animals. The animals can be transported here for protection, but..."

He paused for a moment, then he couldn't help but sigh, his expression became a little lonely, and Lin Huiyin beside him gently patted his arm. The couple walked in the panda base, but their mood seemed a little heavy. In the base, there were tourists everywhere. When people saw the pandas, they always laughed from the bottom of their hearts. The silly movements of the pandas always made people forget all their worries. The couple, like other tourists, quickly forgot their inner worries when they looked at the pandas.

No matter in what era or what country, pandas can always conquer everyone with their unique charm and make people fascinated by them.

It is no exception here. Among the crowd, there are many tourists from foreign countries. When they see the pandas, they look completely obsessed. After all, they can only see them here.

"It's really unfair. Why are there only pandas in your area?"

Looking at the cute look of the panda when it fell, Zhang Jiazhen said with some annoyance:

"I can only see it once a year. You are so lucky. You can always see it whenever you want."

Ever since they met during the Olympics, they have kept in touch, from correspondence to phone calls later. During this period, Zhang Jiazhen also came twice.

"Actually, I don't come here often. I usually come here with my brothers and sisters. I've never come here on my own initiative."

Li Yixuan was telling the truth, but he had so many younger brothers and sisters that it was only a dozen or twenty times a year.

"That's a bit of a waste, you know? We only see it in books."

"If you want to come in the future, you can come often."

Unlike the previous two years when she came here, this time the girl came here as an international student.

"Ah."

While nodding, Zhang Jiazhen said with some regret:
"What a pity! I only received an admission letter from the Women's Liberal Arts School. It's a pity that it's not a school in Dongning, otherwise..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Jiazhen felt her face getting hot. She was too embarrassed to continue, so she pointed to the souvenir shop not far away and said:
"Wow, Brother Yixuan, look at that one, it's so cute."

Wearing a panda headband on her head, holding a panda doll in her arms, and even with a little panda pendant on her shoulder, Zhang Jiazhen has basically become a "baby panda" with a panda all over her body.

Even so, when she saw the other panda dolls, she still looked like what I wanted. In response, Li Yixuan just smiled and asked:

"Which one do you want?"

"Really? Just...just...that bag."

Zhang Jiazhen grinned and said:
"I promise, this is the last one..."

Is it really the last one?

Li Yixuan was very skeptical. In fact, almost everyone in this place was like this. They were always attracted by all kinds of panda dolls and wanted to buy out all the dolls in the souvenir shop.

The two young men were wandering around here, like all the other young people, and they forgot about time. By the time they left the base, there were no buses going to the high-speed rail station.

There weren't even any taxis. Looking at the empty bus station, Zhang Jiazhen said:
"Brother Yixuan, what should we do now?"

"Ah, this..."

Li Yixuan looked around and saw many young college students like him, both men and women standing there, all with a confused look on their faces, but some of them pointed out the direction:
"Let's go to the Panda Hotel,"

The Panda Hotel, which is a theme hotel affiliated with the Panda Base, has always been popular with tourists and many people stay there. However, when walking towards the hotel, Zhang Jiazhen only felt her heart beating violently. Occasionally, she would cast her eyes to Li Yixuan beside her, and her face instantly became redder.

Feeling the gazes beside him, Li Yixuan smiled and said:

"Little girl, don't let your imagination run wild."

"Who, who is the little girl!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jiazhen retorted:
"Well, that place is too small..."

But just at this moment, a big blonde girl came into her sight, making her instantly lose her confidence. She lowered her head in annoyance, but her eyes were fixed on the poster on the wall.

Following the girl's gaze, Li Yixuan said:
"Or, let's go to the concert together tomorrow..."
