Chen Xi had really forgotten about it. He wanted to rebuild the Hundred Birds Garden and make the birds fearless of humans. That way, the number of tourists would instantly increase.
After all, among most animals, humans were least afraid of birds.
Insects, fear!
Mammals, even adult pandas, were also afraid of humans without protection!
He couldn't touch any fish!
Reptiles and turtles are fine, but try a snake or lizard!
Someone was screaming!
Therefore, birds were the best!
The blue-eared kingfishers were very beautiful. Chen Xi liked them very much. He teased the two kingfishers and gave them some spiritual water. Then, the two kingfishers stood on Chen Xi's shoulders like two door gods.
"It's really beautiful!"
The kingfisher was not only beautiful, but it was also very fast. It quickly flew to the side, grabbed a bug, and stuffed it into Chen Xi's mouth. Chen Xi quickly shut up and shook his head crazily!
I'm not Master Bei. Why would I eat bugs? This is the first time I've seen such a motherly animal!
Li Wei laughed like crazy. Chen Xi felt helpless. The kingfisher fed it for a full two to three minutes before confirming that Chen Xi did not want to eat it. He looked up and ate the worm himself.
In fact, kingfishers not only ate insects, but also small fish. The tropical fish from the major aquariums had not been sent over yet. Chen Xi was here today to clean the water tanks. When the time came, he would clean every small water tank and add water to create a water feature.
"Good heavens, this one can be sold for tens of thousands!”
Chen Xi personally built an ecological fish tank and was instantly very proud. This was his major, botany and ecology. If he could not do this well, Teacher Lin could directly cancel Chen Xi's school registration!
There was no need to have such a student!
"Amazing, your ecological fish tank is better than mine!”
"Are you kidding me? I spent four years in university and three years in my master's degree. If it weren't for Second Grandpa giving me the zoo, I would have studied for my PhD!”
With botany and ecology, the ecological fish tank could not be avoided because it was the best example of ecology and botany!
"Beautiful!"
Li Wei shook his head in admiration. He had to admit that Chen Xi really knew how to play and was good at studying.
"Director, if you didn't inherit the zoo, what would you do in the future?”
" When I study plants and ecology with my teacher, I'll usually be a subordinate of the Forest Bureau. I'll get a position and travel around the world to study the unique ecology of Australia, or take a risk to go to the Amazon forest, or go to a certain island to study the unique ecology!”
"Then how do you earn money to support your family?"
Li Wei was very curious!
" Hai, first of all, the country is the one who raises them. Our mission is to let the people of the country understand this world and nature better with the support of the country. Then, we will protect and cultivate plants. We will usually cooperate with some pharmaceutical companies, such as researching the artificial cultivation of certain medicinal herbs. We will then receive a sponsorship. If we succeed, we will even receive a generous reward!”
"Or, it's to protect a certain plant. For example, I recently discovered golden camelina. There are only three in the world. Song Qiang and I found the fourth one, and the country will reward us. Although it's not much, if I can research how to cultivate golden camelina on a large scale, the country can reward me with hundreds of thousands to millions!”
"So many?"
Li Wei exclaimed. Chen Xi nodded." Precious plants, of course. The motherland wants to leave something for future generations. This time, the discovery of the Chinese rhinoceros will definitely give us a lot of rewards!”
There were rewards for discovering and protecting national protected animals and plants. Generally speaking, there were not many rewards, but there were exceptions.
For example, the Baiji dolphin could have been declared extinct a long time ago. However, in 2018, it suddenly appeared again. The discoverer was rewarded with 200,000 yuan!
This world was different from the original Earth. The original Earth didn't have so many rewards. Usually, it would be about 2,500. However, in this world, there were tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. Moreover, Chen Xi had recently digested his knowledge and discovered that the animals and plants in this world were even worse off. Many of the animals and plants in the original world were extremely dangerous or even extinct in this world.
The natural protection of this world was even more precarious.
As he fiddled with the fish tank, Chen Xi searched for stores selling tropical fish and even sea fish on his phone.
" The aquarium needs to be opened as soon as possible, but there's really no place to buy marine life. Dolphins and whatnot are not allowed to be sold…"
Chen Xi was really helpless. Unless they were reproduced, protected animals could not be traded. However, there were almost no successful cases of dolphins under human intervention, so there was no other way...
" As for capturing them in the wild, I'm sorry, but it's not allowed in our country. Most countries abroad don't allow it either. It's still the same as the finless porpoise. Only when they're injured can they be sent to aquariums and zoos. However, most dolphins can't return to the sea to live after being rescued by humans.
It wasn't that he wasn't used to the ocean environment, but that his social situation had changed!
To put it simply, dolphins were social creatures. They needed friends and relatives to live happily, but once they left their species, they would be lonely and depressed.
Therefore, dolphins without companions were unable to adapt to the environment even after being released into the sea. In the end, they died of depression!
90% of the dolphins would commit suicide after being released. They would then be rescued by humans and quickly sent back to their former aquariums and zoos, allowing them to live on.
"I have a way to get dolphins!”
Li Wei suddenly said. Chen Xi instantly turned his head!
"Really?"
" Yes, there are white whales too!"
