On the third day after Grandpa Sun sent someone to deliver musk, Wang Lung handed them a pile of tea bags, and watched a group of heavily armed people escort the tea bags away, Wang Lung instantly felt much more relaxed. The task assigned by the boss is finally completed.

Qianliyan started the construction mode again, and this time the construction was: the cowshed.

Xiao Peng really did what he said, and really built a cowshed on the other side of Qianli Lake. Xiao Peng also did something that made everyone speechless: he soaked the seeds of the alfalfa he bought in water, and asked the fishermen to dig a pit to plant alfalfa, on the grounds that the snow had just melted and there was no lack of moisture to moisturize.

But who made Xiao Peng the boss? What does he say? Let him toss。。。。。。 In this way, the alfalfa that was soaked by Xiao Peng with magic power has landed in Qianliyan. Everyone else grows flowers, Xiao Peng grows alfalfa, and Xiao Peng is very satisfied with this: let's not play those imaginary ones, and the most important thing is to pay attention to practicality. Besides, are the purple flowers from alfalfa also beautiful。。。。。。

The construction of the barn was quick, and in two weeks, a modern barn with a scraper board was built.

When Xiao Peng was about to arrange a holiday for Qianliyan, Di Wei hurriedly ran over: "Boss Xiao, hurry up and follow me, big event, big event!"

"Di Wei, what are you excited about?, the tiger is chasing you again?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

"Oh my God, come with me, it's a big deal. Di Wei dragged Xiao Peng to the woods, and before Xiao Peng could get closer, he saw Academician Liu and his other students hiding in the woods, holding binoculars to observe the woods.

Xiao Peng walked over: "What are you doing?"

Academician Liu was startled, and hurriedly made a shushing gesture to Xiao Peng: "Boss Xiao, don't be so loud." ”

Xiao Peng looked in the direction pointed by Academician Liu, and in the clearing in the forest, it was the musk ox that Sergei sent to the island at that time, a total of five, who were forming a circle, bowing their heads, revealing their hard horns and facing Academician Liu and the others: "Isn't it a musk ox? What are you nervous about?"

To be honest, when Sergei sent these musk oxen to Qianliyan, Xiao Peng really didn't care about them, he just gave them spiritual enlightenment and let them go to live in the forest by themselves. In Xiao Peng's eyes, isn't this a big yak? We also have a lot of them in China. And these musk oxen are really unpleasant, every day in addition to eating is sleeping, waking up and walking forward for a while, then eating, sleeping. Lazier than a pig。。。。。。 And what's funny is that the musk ox is also called the musk cow, and you can know it by listening to the name, and it also has musk glands, but like musk deer, muskrats, civet cats and other animals, the musk glands all grow near the anus, but the musk glands of the musk ox grow on the face! When the estrus season comes, the musk ox's face begins to secrete a strong smelling secretion, so as to divide the territory, how do you make Xiao Peng like him with such a strange guy? I'm afraid that no one likes him except the fur trader: the musk ox's fur is the best, and the musk ox was almost hunted and extinct because of this fur.

However, Xiao Peng is not surprised that the musk ox is in a circle to maintain an attacking posture: although the musk ox is a herbivore, it is also the stunned green among them, I don't know whether to say they are stupid or brave, they will not run away under any circumstances, even if there is a pack of bears and wolves, the musk ox will form a defensive formation and be tough in front!

Xiao Peng walked up to the musk cow herd: "Relax, relax, these are my friends." "Touching the head of this cow, this group of musk oxen, consisting of one male and four females.

Seeing Xiao Peng coming over, the musk ox also relaxed his vigilance, and Xiao Peng waved his hand: "It's okay, come here, what are you doing so mysterious?"

Academician Liu led the students cautiously to the side of several female musk oxen to observe, although several female musk oxen were obviously nervous, but did not attack them. After a while, Academician Liu smiled: "Boss Xiao, congratulations, in a few months, you will have a lamb cub." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "Academician Liu, you mean they are pregnant, but they should also be cow cubs, right?"

Academician Liu's words made Xiao Peng stunned: "Oh, although the name of the musk ox is a cow, it is actually a kind of sheep. ”

"Liu Yuanshu, don't lie to me if I don't read much, look at this musk ox, this figure, this appearance, this horns, where does it look like a sheep? Is this clearly a big yak!" Xiao Peng was speechless.

Academician Liu smiled: "This musk deer does look like a cow in appearance, the horns are also like a cow, and like cattle, there are no stinky glands in the limbs, and the female musk ox has four nipples, which are very similar to cattle." But you pay attention to the fact that all the horns of the cow grow from the side of the top of the head, and the musk ox is the same as the sheep, it grows from the top of the head, and then grows outward against the skull, so that it looks like the horns of the cow, in fact, the musk ox is a transitional creature between the cow and the sheep, and its scientific name is 'sheep cow', but from a biological point of view, it is undoubtedly a sheep, not a cow. ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "For so long, I always thought they were yaks from the North Pole." ”

Academician Liu said: "You are right, they are indeed very similar. ”

Xiao Peng said puzzledly: "These cows 。。。。。。 Oh no, the sheep is pregnant, what's the fuss about?" After speaking, he glared at Di Wei: "It's a big deal, I thought you ate the South China Tiger." ”

"What do you mean we ate the South China Tiger? What kind of big deal is that?" Di Wei was unconvinced.

"It's normal for the South China Tiger to eat you, and it's the news that you eat the South China Tiger. Xiao Peng shrugged.

Academician Liu listened to Xiao Peng's question, but his face became dissatisfied: "Boss Xiao, I don't know how to say hello, do you know the scientific research value of this musk ox? This is the only kind of musk ox animal! From a taxonomic point of view, this is an animal between cattle and sheep! Its scientific research value is no less than that of our unique rare and endangered animal takin in China! Moreover, the musk ox will not adapt to the soil and water when it arrives in our China, and there is no record of successful breeding, if the little musk ox here is born, it will make up for the gap in our scientific research in China!"

Xiao Peng was puzzled: "Isn't it just a musk ox? Isn't it good to protect the tribe now? The Arctic has begun to be artificially bred, isn't it?"

Academician Liu looked at Xiao Peng with a look of hatred for iron and steel: "You are really a model of being in the midst of happiness and not knowing happiness! Do you know that more than 40 years ago, when China and the United States established diplomatic relations, what were the exchange gifts between the two countries?"

Xiao Peng shook his head, and Academician Liu said: "Huaxia gave a pair of giant pandas to Mi Guo, 'Lingling' and 'Xingxing', and Mi Guo gave Huaxia a pair of musk ox! ”

Academician Liu continued: "Do you know that this musk ox has been living on the earth for at least 600,000 years! The mammoth, the pillar tusk elephant and other creatures of its time have all become extinct, and only the musk ox has survived. You still don't cherish such a precious research object living with you, you really want to be angry with me!"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "I'm not a scientist, what am I studying them for? I'm more concerned about whether they can become a big race, so that I can have meat to eat." ”

"You。。。。。。 Academician Liu pointed at Xiao Peng, which obviously made Xiao Peng's words angry, and his fingers began to tremble: "You。。。。。。 "You haven't spoken for a long time.

Xiao Peng smiled: "Academician Liu, why are you so angry, I'm teasing you, do you see that they are alive and well here?"

Academician Liu took a few deep breaths, he didn't believe that Xiao Peng was joking, Xiao Peng's mouth was about to flow out when he spoke, okay? Academician Liu calmed down and said: "There are many secrets in the musk ox, if it is studied thoroughly, it will be of great help to mankind." ”

"It's a great help to mankind?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

Academician Liu nodded and said: "The musk ox is not as extinct as the mammoth, a big reason is their 'collectivism', you know, in the tundra, the winter temperature may drop to minus 70 degrees! The storm will also last for several days, and in such bad weather, the musk ox will be crowded together in groups, and the young musk ox will be recorded in the middle, and the adult musk ox will face the strong wind, until the strongest storm passes, many adult musk oxen can not withstand such a storm and die, just to protect the cubs." Don't underestimate the determination of musk oxen to protect their cubs! Some zoos once brutally exterminated a herd of musk oxen in order to get a musk ox cub, just because as long as there were adult musk cows, they could not get musk cow cubs. How this sense of community is cultivated in musk oxen has always been a secret in the biological world. ”

"How does that help humans?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

Academician Liu said with a smile: "That's the biggest secret of the musk ox, the musk ox's fur structure can make them withstand the wind of 100 kilometers per hour and the temperature of minus 50 degrees, but this is not the basis for them to live in the cold, they can survive in such a harsh environment, the most important reason is that they obtain and save energy efficiently! The food they need, compared with the same volume of cattle, is only 1/6 of them, a small amount of food and drinking water is enough for them to survive!" If we can study the question of how musk cows conserve the energy of food, I am not exaggerating, maybe this may eliminate the problem of hunger in our world. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, and finally applauded and said: "Academician Liu, this great task of saving mankind has fallen on your shoulders! Don't they all say that science changes the world? Come on! I am optimistic about you! But Academician Liu, I want to ask a small question. ”

"Just ask. At this time, Academician Liu's eyes were already shining.

Xiao Peng stretched out his finger: "White-sided dolphins, Bali tigers, South China tigers, plus musk cattle, oh, you won't let go of the turtles in Qianli Lake, right? Well, and the beef cattle I want to breed next, so many topics, can you study them?"

"Ugh. Boss Xiao, I was just about to discuss with you, and then I want the Institute of Zoology to send more people, do you think it's okay?" Academician Liu asked.

"No, you can't. Xiao Peng replied to him without thinking.

"Why?" said Academician Liu's eyes widened.

Xiao Peng replied seriously: "I can't manage so many people's food." ”

“。。。。。。 ”
