Chapter 1146: Gardening

The fennec fox is endemic to the desert regions of North Africa, with a light-colored, cat-like coat and a pair of large pink ears.

Because of their very characteristic appearance and cuteness, they were selected as one of the "Top Ten Cute Animals in the World" by good deeds, and were warmly sought after by some pet lovers. When the Disney movie "Zootopia" was released, many parents were pestered by their children to buy "Fennick" to go home, causing its popularity to skyrocket, and the private smuggling transaction became more and more active.

However, according to the relevant regulations, the fennec fox, as a protected animal in North African countries, enjoys second-class protection treatment in China, and illegal trade involves punishment, which can be sentenced to more than 10 years. The seven fennec foxes in Jiayun Zoo were smuggled animals intercepted by Ludao Customs last year, and because Zhongshan Park Zoo was unable to receive them, they had to be handed over here.

Bidding farewell to the little fox, Zhang Ping was attracted by the long-necked antelope standing next to him.

With its skinny triangular head, slender neck and limbs, it looks a bit like a miniature giraffe, but without the "leopard print". The short body hair can't cover a body of muscles and tendons, making this animal look a little weird and stupid, and it is also an Internet celebrity animal.

The long-necked gazelle is mainly found in the savanna region of East Africa, and has developed bipedal standing skills in order to increase its height and devour the young leaves at the top of trees. The design of this colored sculpture is based on this to make a statue, so that its stupid and cute temperament can be seen at a glance.

After seeing the group photo taken by her boyfriend, Zhang Ping nodded with satisfaction and whispered: "Disney should have made the role of Shakira a long-necked antelope, but Thompson's gazelle can't stand up." ”

"Gazelles are more famous after all. Besides, the long-necked antelope is only standing on the tree, and it is still useless to walk if it can't walk, and it is better to Satsuma Erha. ”

"Also, huh?" Zhang Ping stopped talking and looked up in the direction of the zoo's office building, "It's going to start!"

Tang Jiayi, who was wearing a green skirt, walked out, and a bunch of assistant attachés poured out of hula behind her. In the direction she went, several black Passats were coming, but it was the leaders who had been invited to participate in the event that finally arrived.

After a routine handshake and greetings, the guests were invited to the rostrum that had been set up a long time ago, and the opening ceremony was officially launched.

The international practice is that the leaders first spoke, the mayor, the director of the garden bureau, and the representatives of the zoo association took the stage to deliver speeches one after another, and then Tang Jiayi, the chairman of the Jiazi Foundation, as the host, and the general manager of Ludong Company, an unknown Mediterranean uncle, who was very senior at first glance.

Compared with the previous ones, the uncle mentioned some interesting things about the construction of the zoo, which is quite dry. It's a pity that the time is limited, and Zhang Ping just got interested, and the people bowed and stepped down.

After they finished speaking, the host immediately announced that they would enter the next link, a globe was pushed onto the stage, Tang Jiayi and Mr. Mayor stepped forward, bent down slightly and stretched out their hands to press.

The globe rotated, and the official website page of Jiayun Zoo appeared on the big screen behind them, representing the official launch of the website to provide services to the public.

The substrate of this screen is a special model of butterfly screen,Due to manufacturing costs,Reflectivity、Color gamut、Pixel density is far inferior to the bee mobile phone、Bee notebook carries a small screen,It can also be called a "retina screen" in the outdoor large screen,Brightness、Contrast and delicacy far exceed ordinary LED large screen。

In the applause and farewell, the bigwigs left the rostrum and went to the zoo office building to continue to visit and condole.

A third-tier female singer in a white dress walked quickly onto the stage, and a pre-recorded MV video appeared on the screen behind her.

After listening to a few words, Zhang Ping turned his head to look at his boyfriend, "How long is it?"

The singer's singing skills and voice are very good, but unfortunately her appearance is generally not famous, and the song is also a somewhat unpopular animal theme, but it can't make her stop. The two of them came to participate in the opening ceremony in the heat of more than 30 degrees, not to watch the leader's speech and listen to these unknown singers sing, the real dish is actually still to come.

Jiayun said that it is a cloud zoo, but there is also a visit channel inside, and it is a rare elevated monorail in China. Visitors can take the sightseeing train through the different stocking areas, and they can experience a unique feeling that is different from walking and driving in the park.

Straddle monorail is known as the cheap version of light rail, claiming that the cost of each kilometer of the project is only 1/2 or even 1/3 of the subway, and has the advantages of small land occupation, easy demolition, quick effect, light noise, good landscape effect, etc., which has attracted the keen attention of some small and medium-sized cities and even tourist areas.

However, this product is said to be cheap, the actual cost is still more than 150 million per kilometer, if it is a large volume of high-standard lines, the actual cost of use is higher, the rubber tires used bring better ride comfort and less running noise, but also bring higher maintenance costs.

Because the advantages and disadvantages are too obvious, the situation of monorail is quite embarrassing, and large cities with demand are more inclined to strive for larger light rail and even subways, while small and medium-sized cities cannot get the approval of light rail subway, but they cannot afford to buy monorail, so they can only vigorously develop buses and even public bicycles. Only the "3D magic city" in the mountain city, where the terrain changes too much and the road needs to be repaired to the building, has to choose a monorail with a small footprint, light noise, and good climbing ability, and even "become an expert for a long time", and become the world's third largest monorail car company after the island nation Hitachi and Bombardier of Canada.

The monorail line in Jiayun Zoo is a sightseeing monorail developed by the Bee Research Institute and Shancheng Rail Transit Group. Because of the use of supercapacitor fast charging power supply, and the design capacity is small, passengers can leisurely enjoy the scenery on both sides, and the construction specifications and engineering costs of the elevated track and power supply system are also reduced accordingly, and the project cost per kilometer is reduced to 30 million yuan.

Of course, spending hundreds of millions of dollars to repair a single track for a zoo is not cost-effective. The reason why Jiayun did this was completely the result of Atletico Madrid's instructions, but the purpose was to experiment and demonstrate new technologies on his own territory, so that he could sell them to other units in the future, such as the Qindao Scenic Area, which is close at hand. Even if you can't sell it, it doesn't matter, it's worth burning money to make a name for yourself, but the recycling cycle is relatively slow.

In addition to Mr. Mayor, who pays attention to economic construction and cultural construction, the director of the Construction Bureau, the general manager of the Rail Transit Group, and the director of the Qindao Management Committee also came to participate in the opening ceremony of Jiayun, which is largely related to this monorail. Whether they favor a monorail or not, at least the first step in the pitch has been taken.

Because of the huge investment and low fares, except for the strange red turtle (Hong Kong Island MTR), subway companies all over the world are losing money, and the situation of light rail is similar, all relying on the city finance and even the higher level of finance to pay. Although it will lose money if it is built, the high-volume rail transit system can bring vitality and competitiveness to the city, and then bring benefits in terms of housing prices, talents, GDP, etc., which is still very popular. In order to avoid waste caused by a swarm of projects, the higher authorities have set many hard targets for light rail and subway, and those who do not meet the standards will not be approved. In the first place, Heron Island had to settle for the second best thing because of its population size, and made great efforts to build a cheaper BRT (Bus Rapid Transit).

However, the BRT has its limits after all, and the "forced qualification" is not as good as the subway and light rail, and when the population size reaches the standard, the city government is also the first to set up a rail transit group, smashing down three subway lines in one go, which is expected to open next year. Although the zoo line is a little short, it has a lot of highlights, and it is worth a visit by these local leaders.

In addition to these VIPs, some lucky spectators who were specially selected by lottery also received "tickets" to board the train to participate in the first official operation of the Jiayun monorail. Zhang hired them as guests invited by Tang Jiayi, and they also had "tickets" for the first train.

"Don't worry," Fang Junqi was quite calm, reaching out to pat his girlfriend to comfort the other party, "It's not like you haven't seen the leader visit, those old men can't end chattering for a while." ”

As the country's first 4K TV station, Bee Group Enterprise TV Station often receives applications from relevant units in the TV industry to visit, just during the internship period, she has met several terrestrial channels and satellite TV directors, editors-in-chief and other leaders, for the visit process has long been no stranger.

"Okay," Zhang Ping nodded, turning his head to look at the stage.

Half an hour later, the sun gradually rose to mid-heaven, and the onlookers couldn't stand the heat and began to disperse, and Zhang Ping finally received a boarding reminder from the park.

The two looked at each other and walked towards the gate of the zoo.

Also leaving were lucky viewers who also had invitations. Relying on the "Today's Zoo" program co-organized with Bee Channel, although Jiayun Zoo has not officially opened, it has gained a group of loyal fans, and this group of viewers is from it. It is said that it is randomly drawn, but the actual probability is linked to the value of gift-giving fans, the more you spend, the higher the probability of winning the lottery, and the top 20 fans are all listed.

According to the news that Zhang Pingda heard, these will become the rule in the future, and only audiences who are willing to spend money will have the opportunity to come to Egret Island to meet those animal stars up close.

Walking in the crowd, listening to them talk to each other about how many gifts they had given, and waiting to see the animal, Zhang Ping suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

tiptoed into her boyfriend's ear and whispered, "How do you feel like a fan who participated in the Internet celebrity meeting?"

Hearing this, Fang Junqi looked nervous, and asked urgently, "Have you participated?" or did you do it yourself?"

"No," Zhang Ping rolled his eyes angrily, "Where do you want to go? I haven't been popular, how can I be qualified!"

"Haven't been there either?"

"No, I'm just cheating, and running to other cheats meet-and-greet is not boring?"

Of course, this is a self-humble and self-deprecating statement, even if she is separated from the beauty algorithm, Zhang Ping is also a girl who has passed the art examination and is studying in the broadcasting and hosting major, and there will never be a situation where she can't afford to be compared to the audience.

"Oh," Brother Qi put his mind at ease, remembered what his girlfriend had just said, and said with a smile: "You're right, Jiayun is indeed operating these animals according to the number of ways to create Internet celebrities, after all, they will not be poached and job-hopping, and they can legally make dolls, CCTV took the lead in live broadcasting at the beginning." By the way, Doudou is all female, I don't know if the panda will ......"

"Fang Junqi!" Seeing that the more he talked, the more he went too far, Zhang Ping couldn't help but let out a low voice, glaring at his open-mouthed boyfriend fiercely, "Pay attention to the occasion, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I won't say it," Fang Junqi decisively admitted, reached out to wipe his mouth, and made a zipper gesture.

The entrance to the zoo was originally an animal performance area, but Jiayun took over and razed it to build a small square, an office building, an animal hospital, and a monorail station on the site.

Although the sparrow is small, it is the perfect way to describe this station, with security gates, ticket gates, fire protection systems, monitoring systems, all major systems readily available, and it looks like a miniature version of a modern station.

Each took out their mobile phone tickets and entered the station, and a cute white train was already waiting outside the platform, with a total of 5 trains, wedge-shaped at the front and rear ends, and wide transparent windows on the sides, the style of most monorails was the same.

Everyone walked on both sides of the platform according to the ticket instructions, and soon all of them were seated, and then the train slowly started to leave the station. It can't compare with the speed of high-speed rail, but its smoothness and noise control are not inferior to the latter, coupled with just the right air conditioning temperature, the ride experience is quite comfortable.

Of course, what everyone cares more about is the scenery outside the car window.

The "Zoo Line" is roughly circular and closed-loop, most of which are erected on elevated heights of several meters, connecting the main buildings and free-range areas, including the star attraction Panda Pavilion.

The panda pavilion adopts the design of the inner hall and the outfield, and the panda sisters have become otaku girls because the weather has been too hot recently, and they rarely go out. Zhang Ping was still worried that she might not be able to see it, but when the train approached the panda pavilion and saw the front of the train straight into the eggshell-shaped pavilion, she was relieved.

The noise of the monorail is only 60 decibels, which is about the same as a small restaurant with people talking. Because of this, Shancheng Rail Transit Group dared to let the Line 2 monorail pass through the building, creating a rather magical picture. However, the giant panda is a national treasure that enjoys high treatment, and even if the sightseeing monorail is slower and less noisy, the park still puts a soundproof cylinder on this section of the track to further reduce the possible "bear disturbance" problem.

The two pandas, who were sitting and munching on bamboo shoots, had no idea that there was a train just passing overhead, and dozens of people were staring at them. On the contrary, it was the viewers who watched the bear eating bamboo shoots through the live broadcast on the Internet that first discovered this, and the barrage flew wildly for a while, and some people shared screenshots to SNS, giving Jiayun Zoo the nickname "Magic Zoo".

It wasn't until the train left the Panda Pavilion that everyone lifted the window and took a closer look, and everyone returned to you.

It was only then that Zhang Ping noticed that there was a folding mechanism under the window next to him that could be opened, and according to the introduction of the sticker next to him, this was actually a mobile phone holder.

"Interesting, I left a stand for my mobile phone under the window of the observation car, what is this going to do?"

Brother Qi didn't rush to explain, took out his mobile phone and put it on, opened the Swan live broadcast and went to the Jiayun area, pointed to the "display name" button on the screen and said, "Mainly for this!"

Zhang Ping naturally knew this function, and asked suspiciously: "Recognize the cat plug-in?"

"Not only can you recognize pandas, but you can also recognize dogs, monkeys, and birds, and all animals in the park can be recognized with one click. ”

"It's amazing, it's hard to do, isn't it?"

"It's much easier than face recognition, and animals don't wear makeup and change hairstyles. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Ping smiled, pointed outside, "Then how do you explain this?"

The train happened to pass through the alpaca meadow, and the thick fur on their bodies was cut off, leaving only a handful of "hair" to make various killer shapes.
