Chapter Seventy-Three: Africa
This time it was Sun Kai who drove them to the airport, Qin Yan was not the first time to take a plane, there was no novelty, plus there were still Gerald's students who were busy, Qin Yan didn't even pay attention to the destination, he ate and slept on the plane, slept and ate, or he chatted with Gerald and asked him some knowledge.
And Gerald knew everything, which made Qin Yan feel that he was a friend who could really make friends.
Of course, Qin Yan understood in his heart that the reason why the two were able to talk was more because his ability was recognized, otherwise how could Gerald ignore him.
Turning point after plane, Qin Yan was dizzy, feeling farther away than going to Australia, and asked suspiciously, "Professor, where are we going, won't we go to Africa?" ”
The last sentence he said in a joking tone, after two transfers, there were noticeably more blacks on the plane.
"It's going to Africa, don't you know?" Gerard looked at him suspiciously.
Qin Yan was furious and felt that he had been deceived, Africa was in his impression a barren and backward place, where warlords were numerous, where wars often occurred, and it was nothing to die, and millions of people died in the Congolese civil strife a few years ago, and he said that he would not go there for anything.
"Good, when I get there, I'll go straight back. ”
"What are you angry about? ”
"You're embarrassed to say that you won't tell me when you go to Africa. ”
"The white rhinos are all in Africa, don't tell me you don't know. ”
Hearing him say this, Qin Yan was dizzy, he really didn't know the origin of the white rhinoceros, and thought it was in the Americas or Europe, but who would have thought that it would be Africa.
This is a question of common sense, and it is precisely because of common sense that many people know that Gerald did not tell him, and as a result, because of this, Qin Yan embarked on a journey to Africa.
Since it was unintentional, Qin Yan couldn't get angry, let alone go back because of this, Professor Gerald kindly invited him to come and accompanied him personally, but because it was Africa, he didn't go, which was obviously unreasonable.
If you really want to do this, the two will turn their faces on the spot, and don't think about any connection in the future.
Even others would think that he was short-tempered, difficult to make friends with, and gradually drifted away.
I had to laugh. "If you didn't say it earlier, how would I know, just now I thought you were deliberately cheating. I heard that Africa is barbaric and backward, don't lead me into the whirlpool of war. ”
He whispered the last sentence to prevent other passengers from hearing him say that Africa was barbaric and backward, even if it was the truth, they would be very angry, after all, if someone said that their hometown was barbaric and backward, everyone would be angry.
Hearing Qin Yan's explanation, Gerald knew the reason, and comforted him and said, "Don't worry, we are going to the Pejeta Nature Reserve in Kenya, where there are special security personnel, 24-hour armed live ammunition protection, absolutely no problem." ”
Qin Yan put his mind at ease, he didn't want to be pointed at his scalp with a gun in the future.
Kenya is an African country located in eastern Africa, with the equator running through the central part and the Great Rift Valley running north and south. Few people may have heard of it, but if you mention its neighbor, it is next to Somalia, the country of famous Somali pirates.
The famous President of the United States, Mr. ***, is the 44th president of the United States and the first black president in the history of the United States, and is very famous, what many people don't know is that his father is a Kenyan, so that now many Kenyans are proud of him and call the child ***.
After getting off the plane, someone came to pick them up, it was two black men, and they were taken to the Kenya Wildlife Sanctuary.
On the way, you can see the vast grassland, where thousands of lions, elephants, rhinos, wild buffaloes, cheetahs, zebras, antelopes, hippos, flamingos and other wild animals live.
Formerly a hunting paradise for Europe's wealthy, this once hunting paradise for Europe's wealthy has been completely banned from more than 40 national parks and wildlife sanctuaries, and is now a wildlife haven for visitors from all over the world.
The Kenya Wildlife Sanctuary is located next to TSNY, with spectacular views of Kilimanjaro, the "equatorial snow-capped mountains".
Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain range in Africa, and the summit is covered with snow and ice all year round, but the problem is that this is an equatorial region, and it is a miracle that you can still see snow-capped mountains.
The mountain is surrounded by mountain forests and is home to numerous mammals, some of which are endangered.
Qin Yan checked it on the way here, and the price of this tourist line in China is as high as 13,900 yuan, which exceeds the current European tour, but it can go to the wild wilderness of Africa to explore the secrets, and it is still favored by people who love nature, and many people travel here.
And he came here quietly, without spending a penny, and he stayed as long as he wanted, it was simply in vain, and every time he thought of this, he was comfortable.
In the center of the reserve, Qin Yan met the owner of the invitation, Anthony Schaller, who is 80 years old this year, but is still active in the front line of animal protection, and has been in contact with wild animals all year round.
He is said to have been the first Westerner to come into contact with wild pandas after 1939 and the first Western scientist to be commissioned to work for WWF in China.
Although Schaller is old, he is well maintained, with only a few gray hairs on his head, a ruddy complexion, no age spots, and he looks only in his 60s. He smiled and shook hands and said, "Welcome, welcome, I'm sorry for you this time." ”
Ordinary movements, but Schaller has a lot of glory to add to it, making him look extraordinary.
Qin Yan didn't dare to hold it up, this person was already at the top of animal scientific research, in a very awesome sentence, he thought he was second, and no one dared to call him first.
"It is my honor to invite me, and I have read all of your masterpieces, especially The Last Panda, which is so wonderful and deeply touched. ”
"It's nothing, it's all I should do. ”
"Otherwise, let's go and see the Sultan first, I'm not sure if there is still a chance to have children, I'm uneasy. ”
"That's as it should be. ”
After a few polite words, Schaller invited him to take a car in search of the Sultan, the last northern white rhinoceros in the world, whose name was Sultan.
Along the way, Dr. Schaller sat in the car without saying a word, staring nervously into the distance, afraid that he would hear bad news.
Just from this aspect, you can see how much Schaller loves animals, and it is precisely because of this that he has the motivation to work hard and finally stand at the forefront of animal science.
The road in the animal sanctuary is not easy to walk, it is like running wild in the mud, even if you drive a jeep, it is clucking, and the car will fly up and fall again, kicking up dust behind.
Qin Yan's stomach was as uncomfortable as a river and a sea, he endured it, he almost didn't throw it up, he never thought that there was such a difficult road to take.
