Chapter 516: The last baiji

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Peng answered Academician Liu earnestly: "Academician Liu, I do know many female friends, but there is really no one named Qiqi, but I know someone named Jiji, Jijiha. Dide, there is another named'Lily', Lily Aldridge, who are all top supermodels. Which beauty is'Qi Qi' that Academician Liu said?"
After hearing Xiao Peng's words, Academician Liu looked speechless: "Boss Xiao, the'Qiqi' I said is not a person, but a white dolphin!"
"Uh..." Xiao Peng scratched his head embarrassedly: "I know this, but isn't it dead?"
Speaking of baiji dolphins, Xiao Peng really feels sorry. This is one of the only four freshwater dolphins in the world. It is a freshwater cetacean unique to China. It is only produced in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and is known as the'water giant panda'. However, they are much rarer than giant pandas. In 2002, they were estimated to be less than fifty. In 2007, they were declared functionally extinct. The world’s only artificially bred baiji dolphins'Qiqi', It is the last recognized baiji dolphin.
Academician Liu said: "In 1981, fishermen in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, caught a male baiji with a rolling hook, and later put it in the breeding experiment farm of the Nanjing Headquarters of Jiangsu Fisheries Research Institute, named Jiangjiang, but Jiangjiang. Only after 129 days alive in captivity, he died."
Xiao Peng was speechless: "What did you say it did when it died?"
Academician Liu motioned Xiao Peng not to interrupt, and continued: "But before it died, we extracted the active semen-liquid in its body, and through artificial insemination, let the female Baiji dolphin living in the Institute of Aquatic Animals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Wuhan. Qi Qi's pregnancy gave birth to a male Baiji Dolphin. Twelve years later, they bred a pair of dragon and phoenix embryos. However, due to inbreeding and genetic problems, they can no longer continue to reproduce. They have been protected in the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Kyoto. Institute of Aquatic Animals. But because of a problem with the reproductive system, we at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been trying to solve this problem for so many years, but no results have been achieved. Boss Xiao, if the soul theory you said is true, you have something to do with this matter. Is there a solution?"
"Why not let that male Baiji dolphin breed with'Qiqi' again?" Xiao Peng asked.
Academician Liu smiled bitterly: "The baiji dolphins died of a sudden illness, and died overnight, without rescue. Now these two baiji dolphins may be the last baiji dolphins in China."
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "I haven't seen the two baiji dolphins with my own eyes, so I don't dare to pack the tickets if there is a way. I have to see with my own eyes!
Upon hearing this, Academician Liu put the wine glass on the table: "What are you waiting for? Let's go to the imperial capital! Don't waste time here!"
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly: "Academician Liu, you are too anxious. I still have things to do now. I can't go away. A friend wants to come to me."
"What friend can be more important than this?" Academician Liu stared at Xiao Peng. "Can't you let your friend wait for you to come back?"
Xiao Peng looked embarrassed: "Academician Liu, this friend really can't neglect."
"Huh! Who is so important?" Academician Liu hummed coldly.
Xiao Peng scratched his head and said, "It's Bloomberg, the former Mayor of New York City. He wants to bring someone to me to see a painting?"
"A painting? Can a painting be more important than the last two baiji? Which painting is so precious?" Academician Liu said.
Xiao Peng really doesn't know how to answer this question. Van Gogh's "Poppy Flower" can't have a second picture, right? You can't let Van Gogh crawl out of the grave and paint another picture? Xiao Peng didn't answer either. He just pointed to the back of Academician Liu, where the painting was hung.
Liu Yixun turned his head, frowned, took out a reading glasses from his pocket, and looked at it carefully: "Isn't this Van Gogh's "Poppy"?"
Xiao Peng is not surprised that Liu Yixun can recognize this painting. After all, the old man had studied at the British Cancer Institute, a senior visiting scholar in the Department of Reproductive Medicine at the University of California, Star-Strong Country; a visiting professor in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Biology, Umea University, Sweden. Visiting scholar and honorary professor at Leicester University, UK. . . . . . . Well, there are too many titles, Xiao Peng can't even count them. However, they are senior scholars who have lived in Europe and the United States.
Liu Yixun shook his head and took off his reading glasses: "Well, in that case, I won't urge you anymore. I have waited for so many years, and it is not too late for a while. But boss Xiao, you can promise me that the matter is over. You must go to the Imperial Capital to find me right away. Do you think this will work?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Don't worry, father, it's a deal!"
Liu Yixun stood up and said, "I'm full of wine and food. Thank you, Boss Xiao, for the hospitality. I will bring the body of the Bali tiger back, and send it back earlier for research."
Xiao Peng shrugged: "In a few years, there will be groups of Bali tigers on my island, do you believe it? Anyway, what do you keep telling my boss to do? Just call me Xiao Xiao."
Liu Yixun smiled and said: "I really have to call your boss. I have already decided that I will take the students to stay with you in the future. Yours here has given me so much surprise."
Xiao Peng shook hands with Academician Liu: "Wow, then I am waiting for Academician Liu to come over."
After sending Academician Liu away, I saw Yang Meng coming up with a frowning face: "Hey, what are you doing with frowning face?"
"Your little ancestors are too good to eat!" Yang Meng complained: "You are so picky. The wild boars and goats raised in the forest are not enough for them to eat. One wild boar a day! The wild boar goats on the island! They are almost eating it up!"
"Uh. It's easy to say, you go to a pig farm, a big fat pig a day! I told these guys not to eat wild boar goats." Xiao Peng said.
Yang Meng frowned: "Yes, let me get in touch. These guys are too cruel. Now there are more than 2,000 pigs! This year, it costs more than 700,000 to feed pigs!"
Xiao Peng smiled: "It's okay, we can afford to feed. From now on, there will only be more and more animals on our island, and we can only eat more and more. By the way, starting today, half of the prepared macroalgae feed will be left. Don’t throw them all into the sea. Use them to feed the reindeer and wild boars in the woods." Using macroalgae feed for herbivores can also improve their physical fitness?
"Okay, I see, I let them keep it." Yang Meng took the phone and already contacted the pig farm.
Raising ferocious beasts is enjoyable, but it is really hard to play without enough financial resources!
"Where are they now?" Xiao Peng asked.
Yang Meng took the phone and didn't turn his head back: "There is the hot spring. These grandchildren will enjoy it too much!"
Xiao Peng smiled and didn't say anything. Yang Meng had this virtue, a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and the one who loved this group of animals most on this island was Yang Meng, except for Xiao Peng. Others are still afraid of tigers and polar bears. He is not afraid at all. He is tired of being with these animals every day.
Xiao Peng put on a fur coat and went to the hot spring. It was a long time since he had soaked in the hot spring.
People are like this, so don't cherish what you can see every day. When Qianliyan’s hot springs first started, many people went to bathe in it, but now it has become a paradise for animals.
As soon as Xiao Peng arrived at the hot spring, laughter came. I saw Teddy sitting arrogantly in the middle, flanked by wolverines, North American white wolves, and Bali tigers. They looked like a meeting, little tigers. Not daring to go into the water, running around.
Well, these guys are in harmony. Seeing Xiao Peng coming, one by one crawled out of the water and ran towards Xiao Peng.
"Stop! Stop!" Xiao Peng shouted. He is wearing a fur coat. If this group of wet guys get together, the clothes will be useless!
Xiao Peng took off his clothes and went into the hot spring to soak. Seeing Xiao Peng entering the hot spring, the rest of the guys also jumped into the hot spring and began to soak in the hot spring with Xiao Peng. A few little tigers screamed nearby, and Xiao Peng hugged them into the shallow water and soaked together.
After not soaking for a while, there was a heavy goose feather snow in the sky. This is rare in Qindao. The north of Qindao is Laoshan. The cold winter air is blocked, so it is difficult to see a heavy snowy day. It is so big. Xiao Peng also felt comfortable in the snow, which constituted a wonderful picture: white snow was flying outside the hot spring, snowflakes flying in the sky, and after a short time, the branches of Qianliyan were covered with snow. But there was white gas in the hot spring, and the feeling of steaming into the sky, in sharp contrast with the sky full of snowflakes!
"This is so amazing!" Xiao Peng covered his face with the towel and fell asleep comfortably.
Before long, he heard footsteps coming, and Xiao Peng did not open his eyes. The whole Qianliyan who dared to come here, except for himself and his children, was Yang Meng's second.
The others are afraid of these fierce guys here, and they don't dare to come here.
The footsteps are not made by one person, but Xiao Peng didn't care either. Someone wanted to harm himself? These guys around Xiao Peng are not vegetarians! It should be Yang Meng, Pan Peiyu and the others.
"Xiao, although I don't want to admit it, you are indeed the person I know who enjoys life the most, but if you are willing to put on clothes, it would be better. After all, Nikita is also here." A man said with a smile.
When Xiao Peng heard this, he untied the towel covering his face. Who stood in front of him, wasn't Bloomberg and her daughter Nikita? Yang Meng covered his mouth and snickered. This Nima must be revenge for blowing him up to the sky.
"Michael, when did you come? Hi, Nikita." Xiao Peng put the towel on his little brother and greeted Nikita. "If you want me to put on clothes, you have to turn around! How do I dress like this?"
Nikita smiled and said, "Xiao, don't worry, we won't mind."
Xiao Peng covered his face: "Uh, I'll mind it..."
