At this moment, Zhang Nan walked in from outside the house and asked, "What are you talking about?

"Zhang Nan, you came just in time, come and help me take a look, is there any difference between this young eagle and the big white eagle!"

Seeing Zhang Nan, Du Juan hurriedly said.

After Ling Zikai got dressed, he got out of bed.

The three of them huddled together and watched carefully.

"How do I feel like this young eagle's body has grown a lot overnight?"

Zhang Nan looked at the young eagle with some confusion, and suddenly said: "Look, their eyes! The eyes of this big white eagle are golden and have a golden circle, while the eyes of the young eagle are brown and the eye circles are also black. ”

Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Ling Zikai and Du Juan really discovered the difference between the two.

The cuckoo said, "Maybe it will change when the eagle grows up!"

Ling Zikai said: "Also, the leg feathers of this big white eagle cover all the way to the claws, and the claws of the young eagle are only scales from the claws to the crooks of the legs, and there are no feathers!"

Zhang Nan frowned and said, "Yes, listening to you say this, how do I feel that this little guy is not like an eagle, but more like an eagle and a falcon!"

Ling Zikai asked puzzledly, "Is there any difference between this eagle and an eagle or falcon?"

Zhang Nan explained: "In terms of biological classification, they all belong to vertebrates, birds, falconiformes, and their appearance is very similar.

Among them, the eagle and the eagle belong to the same group of eagles under the order Falconformes, but the eagle is larger than the eagle, and the beak and claws look more powerful and powerful, the most obvious difference is the tarsoplantar part above the claw, the tarsoplantar part of the eagle is covered with feathers, while the eagle has no feathers but fish scales. ”

Ling Zikai asked, "According to what you mean, this little guy is not an eagle, but an eagle?"

Zhang Nan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, listen to me." Didn't I say it looked like a falcon before, that's because the falcon's body size is much smaller than that of the eagle family, the most obvious feature is the single tooth process on the left and right sides of the upper beak, a bone stick can be seen from the nostrils inward, the wings are pointed when flying, and the end is not flat, the wing fingers are not obvious, and the wings of the eagle family are wider and rounder, and the wing fingers at the end are very obvious, of course, now the wings of this little guy have not yet grown, and it is impossible to make a judgment. However, you can see that there are tooth processes on the left and right sides of its upper beak!"

The more Ling Zikai listened, the more confused he became, and said: "What you said is too complicated, to put it simply, whether this little guy is an eagle or an eagle or a falcon." ”

Zhang Nan said: "It stands to reason that it is a descendant of the Great White Eagle, so it must be an eagle, but from its tarsal and plantar eyes, it looks like an eagle, and from its beak, it looks like a falcon." I'm confused anyway. ”

"You can tell you that this little creature has all the features of an eagle, an eagle, and a falcon. Fuck, it's not going to be a hybrid variant!"

Ling Zikai couldn't help but burst out with a foul word.

Zhang Nan said with a smile: "This little guy has only been born for a long time, and some characteristics can't be seen for the time being, but I'll know it when I grow up." Even if there are some peculiarities, there is nothing surprising that evolutionarily it is an atavistic phenomenon, but it is not a hybrid variant as you say!"

"What is atavism?"

"The atavistic phenomenon refers to the genetic phenomenon of certain traits of ancestors that occur by chance in some organisms. In other words, it was the ancestors of this organism that were originally like this, only to change in the course of later evolution. ”

Just as the two were talking, they saw the cuckoo staring intently at the small claws of the young eagle, his eyes were a little confused, as if he was thinking about something.

"Sister Cuckoo, what are you thinking?"

Hearing the call, the cuckoo woke up from his contemplation, looked at the young eagle and said slowly: "You say, will it be Hai Dongqing?"

Hai Dongqing: What is that?

Ling Zikai was about to ask, but saw Zhang Nan and said, "Sister Gongjuan, are you talking about a spear falcon? I've seen the chicks of the Gyrfalcon, and their feathers are divided into two parts, dark brown on the upper body and white on the lower body with brown longitudinal stripes. The beak is lead-gray, the tarsal planters and toes are dark yellowish-brown, and the claws are black. There are specimens in our forest, but they are not like this at all!"

"The Hai Dongqing I'm talking about is not the kind of falcon you talked about. ”

With a look of reverence on his face, the cuckoo continued: "When I was a child, my grandfather told me that in the Xing'an Mountains, there was a big bird that was bigger than an eagle, more than one meter tall, and a pair of wings spread out more than four meters wide. Its claws are more powerful than those of an eagle, as hard as an iron hook, and so powerful that even jackals, tigers and leopards can catch them. Usually, they fly very high in the sky, hiding in white clouds, and few people can see them. But once the prey is spotted, it is as fast as lightning and thunder when diving, and it will hit with one blow. It is said that only one of the 100,000 eagles will appear in Haidongqing, so it is called the god of ten thousand eagles. ”

Zhang Nan said with a smile: "Sister, the Hai Dongqing you said shouldn't be the totem of your Durenke clan, the Eagle God! That's just a myth and legend, just like the dragon and phoenix we often say, it can't exist in this world at all." ”

The cuckoo shook his head and said, "No, it's true. My grandfather said that he had seen this kind of sacred bird with his own eyes and had saved his life! Moreover, it is recorded in historical records that Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao State and the Wanyan Aguta of the Jurchen tribe launched a war between the two countries in order to compete for a Haidongqing, and as a result, Aguta defeated the Liao State and established the Jin State!"

Zhang Nan knew that Hai Dongqing had a very high status in the minds of the ethnic minorities in the north, representing the spirit of bravery, wisdom, perseverance, integrity, strength, pioneering, enterprising, always upward, and never giving up.

Ling Zikai said in disbelief: "No, this is too awesome, if this little guy is really Hai Dongqing, how much should it be worth!"

The cuckoo glanced at Ling Zikai with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Do you think Hai Dongqing can be bought with money? It is the messenger of the gods, and if you can reach it, it is a gift from the eagle god Gege to you!"

Ling Zikai's heart moved when he heard this, and he said secretly: "It can't be so coincidental, could it be that I have the inheritance of the ancestral god, and this little guy has become Hai Dongqing and came to my side." Or rather, it was because I gave it the energy of the ancestral god and made it change from an ordinary white eagle to Haidongqing. ”

At this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded outside the wooden house.

The three of them didn't know what was going on, so they quickly ran out.

I saw Li Yan and Liu Yan standing in the open space outside the house, looking up at the sky.

In mid-air, a white eagle spread its huge wings and kept circling, holding an animal on its claws. Judging by the shape, it is the male eagle that followed from the Red Star Forest Farm yesterday.

After the male eagle circled for a while, a swoop descended more than ten meters above everyone's heads, released its claws, threw down the animal it was holding, and fell in front of everyone with a "bang".

Then, the male eagle let out a squeal, flapped its wings and flew into the air, circled for a while, and flew into the distance.

Everyone gathered around the animal that fell to the ground, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a roe deer with red ochre fur, about one meter long, fat and fat, should weigh more than 30 catties. When he was caught in the air by the male eagle, he should still be alive, but after falling from a height of ten meters in the air, he was thrown to death, and his limbs were still twitching.

Li Yan was a little stunned and shouted: "This big white eagle threw down such a big stupid roe deer, could it be because after saving its wife and children yesterday, he thanked us and wanted to comfort us!"

Liu Yan said: "You want to be beautiful, people are worried about their wives and children, so they bring them food!"

Ling Zikai and Du Juan glanced at each other, their hearts were full of emotion, they didn't expect the white eagle to have such spirituality.

"Zikai, come here!"

Lin Xing'an shouted as he stood at the door of a wooden house.

Ling Zikai answered and walked into Lin Xing'an's house.

I saw Lin Xingan pick up a stack of manuscript paper from the table, handed it to Ling Zikai and said, "This is the draft of the experimental base construction plan I wrote, can you see what needs to be revised?"

Ling Zikai took the manuscript and didn't look through it immediately, but said to Lin Xing'an: "Uncle Lin, I don't know anything about the construction of the experimental base, so in this regard, you can look at it yourself in the future! You just need to make a list of the things you need to buy and hand it to me." ”
