"How can there be mountains in the Amazon rainforest?" Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Peng shrugged: "This is normal, Peru itself is a mountainous area. There are still many mountains here------ otherwise where would those drug dealers hide to make drugs? At the end of this Amazon rainforest is the Andes Mountains, which are more than 8,900 kilometers from north to south, and are the longest mountain ranges in the world! Some of the peaks may even be higher than the Himalayas, such as the Aconcagua Peak, which may be greater than Mount Everest. ”

"Wait a minute! Fools know that Mount Everest is the highest peak in the world! 8,848 meters above sea level。。。。。。 Okay, it's a few meters shorter now, but it's still the highest peak in the world!" Yang Meng retorted.

Xiao Peng nodded: "You're right, but you just said that it is 8,848 meters above sea level, and Mount Everest is on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau itself is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, which means that Mount Everest is only more than 4,000 meters high." In this way, the jade mountains of Treasure Island are about the same height as him. Of course, I'm not entirely right about that, because after all, the altitude is there, and there are reasons such as altitude sickness and thin oxygen. So climbing Mount Everest and climbing Mount Jade are two completely different concepts. ”

Yang Meng looked up: "No wonder these people rarely worship their ancestors, this Nima at this speed, it will take at least a day to climb once." ”

The ancestral land of the tribe is on a mountain peak, at least three thousand meters high. It doesn't sound like much, but you must know that Mount Tai is so famous, and the altitude is only 1,500 meters。。。。。。

Xiao Peng smiled: "You can learn from K Heavenly King and run up to play." ”

"K Heavenly King, what are you doing?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.

"This guy's full name is Kilian Jornet, and he's just a mountaineer. Well, it took him 26 hours to reach the summit of Mount Everest, 38 hours to and from Mount Everest, using the method of 'running up the snowy mountain', single, no oxygen, no fixed rope, awesome? Xiao Peng explained.

Yang Meng pouted after hearing this: "What kind of thing?" I don't believe he's faster than me!"

Xiao Peng gave him a blank look: "You talk nonsense, let's say something useful! ”

Yang Meng looked at the team and sighed: "Isn't this Nima able to speed up?"

When the natives went to the ancestral land, the women could not go, and the people who went to the ancestral land were all young and strong young men from the tribe. In order to consider the safety of Xiao Peng and the others, they let the young and strong young man go to the front to open the way, and let Xiao Peng and the two follow behind, these natives have strong physical fitness, but they are really speechless when they meet Xiao Peng and the two.

They were quite fast in front, but the two of them in the back chatted with a relaxed face.

The most offended was their chief, who could have been the strongest man in the tribe, but now he was a fat man, tired and out of breath, and had to walk with the help of the interpreter.

Xiao Peng simply found a branch to help him make a trekking pole. As a result, he was quite angry, not to say that Xiao Peng looked down on him。。。。。。 But after a few minutes, he was stuck with his trekking poles.

The team climbed all day, and then they reached the mountainside, and the group was about to set up camp, and they could not climb the mountain at night。。。。。。

"Mengzi, what are you doing?" Xiao Peng found Yang Meng sitting on a rock halfway up the mountain.

Yang Meng pointed to the sunset and said, "Brother Peng, why did I never find out that the sunset could be so beautiful?"

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, and followed the direction of Yang Meng's finger: "Damn, it's really beautiful!"

The setting sun shrouded the rainforest below the mountains in a golden hue. Birds flew through the sky, and there was no noise except for the sound of the wind and the leaves, which was indeed beautiful.

"Brother Peng, I originally thought that our car park was very good-looking, but compared to here, it was a world of difference. Yang Meng said.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Is there a comparison between this artificial afforestation and a pure natural rainforest?"

"Unfortunately, I don't know how long this rainforest will last. It won't take long to be cut down, right?" Yang Meng said curiously.

Xiao Peng nodded: "This rainforest has a very important role for the whole earth, although most of the oxygen on the earth comes from the algae in the ocean instead of the rainforest, but if the Amazon rainforest disappears, the global temperature will definitely rise." Tropical rainforests are a large water cycle system, and they themselves need a fairly high humidity to maintain their ecosystems, and humid environments, in turn, require precipitation to sustain them, without which a large amount of precipitation would be lost. And then the temperature rises, and then, the coastal countries are generally flooded by the sea, right? At least the Japanese country must be gone. ”

Yang scratched his head: "Don't those who cut down the rainforest know about this result?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "They just need to make money, and they don't care if the people behind them live or die." What do you think?"

Yang Meng sighed: "Brother Peng, to be honest, I like nature more and more now, and I can't bear to see them disappear." ”

"A common problem in developing countries, didn't our country desperately cut down trees when its economy did not develop? But how much does it cost? Moreover, to a certain extent, greening encroaches on the living space of human beings, which is a very contradictory question. Xiao Peng handed Yang Meng a cigarette, during this time when he was extracting animal genes, he always inexplicably considered why he had this strange ability. What is the use of these genes? Is it like Noah's Ark?

Yang Meng stood up: "Brother Peng, I have decided, I don't dare to do anything after returning to China, so I will plant trees specially, don't the poor people in those remote mountainous areas have no money? I'm going to turn the Taklamakan Desert into a forest!"

Xiao Peng hurriedly stopped him: "Dude, do you have to understand, do you really want to do this?"

Yang Meng nodded: "Isn't it just money! How much money does Lao Tzu have, how much money does it, I can't do it alone, I pull others to do it together!"

Xiao Peng smiled bitterly: "This is really not a matter of money, are you going to let the people of Xinjiang dig your ancestral grave?"

"Huh?" Yang Meng was stunned.

Xiao Peng said: " Dude, if you really transform the Taklamakan Desert into a forest, we set a premise, that is, if you really succeed, there are indeed benefits, that is, our country may not have sandstorm weather, the Taklamakan Desert is one of the important sand sources of sandstorms in our country; and it can also form a huge source of moist water vapor in the western part of our country, which can significantly increase the air humidity in the west and increase rainfall, if further governance, our country may become a desert-free country, so that the country's available arable land and grassland area will increase tremendously, and there will be no pressure on food security and development space。 ”

Yang Meng was stunned after hearing this: "Isn't this all a good thing?"

Xiao Peng pointed out the key issue: "How to solve the water problem? The biggest problem in Xinjiang is the lack of water, there is not enough water source, and all prosperity is short-lived! If you plant trees, can you do it without water? And it can also deal a devastating blow to the environment!" If the Taklamakan Desert becomes a forest, it will continuously pump away the small amount of groundwater in the Tarim Basin and send it out of the basin, which will make the Tarim Basin drier and more water-scarce, and even turn into a desert climate! What will the people of Xinjiang do at that time?"

Yang Meng frowned after hearing this: "Can't we lead the water over?"

Xiao Peng waved his hand: "It won't work at all, the water that our country's largest Hongqi River project can draw out is 60 billion cubic meters, but there are several diversions along this line, and the water flow to the Tarim Basin may be less than one-sixth, this amount of water may be able to restore the Lop Nur area to its old appearance, but it cannot turn the Taklamakan Desert into a forest." ”

Yang Meng blinked: "Then what should I do?"

Xiao Peng thought for a while: "If it were me, I might start from Shaanxi, starting from the high slopes of the loess, to study plants that can survive in the desert, which requires super drought resistance." If we can develop some kind of large drought-resistant trees in the desert, we can use this kind of trees to plant a large number of trees in the desert, and slowly improve the desert soil into good soil. ”

Yang Meng shrugged: "What a trouble, those scientists are stupid enough not to transplant the genes of those drought-resistant plants into those large trees?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "How can it be as easy as you think? Although gene technology is improving every day, it is still completely unable to reach the level you said。。。。。。。 ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Peng was suddenly stunned, yes, he extracted a lot of genes from desert plants, and there are many drought-resistant genes in them, what if these genes are combined with the original drought-tolerant plants?

It turns out that his genetic technology has always stayed on animals and medical treatment, and he has not even considered the problem of plants. Isn't that easy for you?

"Brother Peng, what do you want?" Yang Meng saw that Xiao Peng suddenly stopped moving, and said with a questioning expression.

Xiao Peng shook his head: "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of a possibility that can help you realize this green dream." Of course, I haven't confirmed it yet, and I'll be busy with this when we get home. ”

Yang Meng nodded: "Okay, that's it! ”

Xiao Peng smiled: "Let's go, let's go to dinner first, this matter will be talked about when we go back!"

After camping and sleeping all night, the group set out on the journey again, and finally arrived at their so-called 'ancestral land' in the afternoon of the next day.

This is a complex located on the top of a hill. There are also terrace-like stairs.

Xiao Peng blinked: "Inca Empire?"

The translator listened to Xiao Peng's words and looked proud: "That's right, we are all descendants of the Inca Empire!

Yang Meng asked curiously, "Brother Peng, what does the Inca Empire mean?"

Xiao Peng explained: "There are three major civilizations in the Americas, namely the Aztec civilization on the Mexican side, the Mayan civilization in the south of Mexico, and the Inca Empire in the western part of South America. It is said that the Mayan civilization is an outstanding representative of the ancient Indian civilization in Latin America. ”

"I've heard of the Mayan civilization, so what's going on with this Inca Empire?" Yang Meng asked curiously.

"The Inca was originally a small state in Cusco, and the main territorial expansion did not begin until the 15th century, when Tupac Inca Yupanki expanded the Inca Empire to include Pasto in Colombia, as well as Tucumán in Argentina and the Mauré River in Chile," Xiao explains. However, his heirs' struggle for the throne caused many civil wars, which led to political unrest in the Inca Empire and provided an opportunity for later Spanish colonists to sow discord. In the end, the Spaniards were destroyed. Their sphere of influence was the Andes, which was roughly Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina in present-day South America. Almost the whole western part of South America!"

Yang Meng took a breath: "Damn, it sounds so awesome?

After hearing this, the interpreter said proudly: "Anyway, our heroic Inca descendants are still on this land. We are all descendants of Ayar Kachi, and we still worship their statues!"

Yang Meng looked dazed, and Xiao Peng explained to him: "There are four brothers in the legend, namely Ayar Kachi, Ayar Wuqiu, Ayar Oka and Ayar Manko, their home is in the Pakali Tambo Cave, and the four brothers and their four sisters left the cave in search of a better life. The eldest brother, Ayar Kuchi, was born with divine powers, which made his siblings jealous, and in the end, the siblings tricked Ayar Kuchi into a cave and sealed the cave with stones, leaving Ayar Kuchi trapped in the cave. While the rest of the brothers continued their journey. Ayar Ucho was turned into stone and became a temple, revered by the Incas, while Ayar Oka was so tired that he was turned to stone like his brother, and in the end Ayar Manko was left alone with his sisters, and finally reached a place between the Urubamba and Apurimac rivers. Ayar Manco built the city of Cusco there and settled his people. These people were the later Incas. Manco chose his sister Mama Ockello as his wife. To this day, the Incas often marry their older sisters or younger sisters. He said that Ayar Kachi is the big brother who was trapped by his brothers!"

After hearing this, the interpreter smiled and said, "Does Mr. Xiao know our culture and history very well?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "I've read it in the book, but don't mind, I always thought it was just a myth." ”

The translator smiled: "You won't say that when you see the venerable Ayar Kuchi." ”

"What's that? Ayar Katch is still alive? Don't tease me, okay?" Xiao Peng was dumbfounded.

At this moment, Xiao Peng suddenly heard the chief shouting something, and the translator's face changed.

Xiao Peng hurriedly asked him what had happened.

The translator said nervously: "Ayar Kachi is gone!"
