Chapter 133: [Chinese White Dolphin] (First Update)
"Wheat, if you talk nonsense, be careful sister tear your mouth, Qin Fan and I are ordinary friends, not what you think. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Hearing the teasing of the short-haired girl, Qiao Zhenzhen's delicate face couldn't help but flush, and said coquettishly.
"Hmph, it's not what I thought, you see your face is red into apples."
The short-haired girl's big black eyes bent into a crescent moon and snorted. She didn't believe that what Qiao Zhenzhen said was a punctuation mark. If it's not a boyfriend and girlfriend, with Qiao Zhenzhen's character, how can he travel alone with a man.
Wheat and Qiao Zhenzhen have been best friends for so many years, and they know her character very well. Don't look at Qiao Zhenzhen, she usually has no goddess frame at all, and she is very enthusiastic about the friends around her, but in her bones she is a rather cold and arrogant woman, and ordinary men can't get into her eyes at all.
"Alas, if my brother knew that you really had a boyfriend, he wouldn't be sad to death. He's a big admirer of yours. ”
Wheat's elder brother comes from a chaebol family in the United States, and he is also a high-talent student who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. He had pursued Qiao Zhenzhen hard for several years, but he had not been able to impress Miss Qiao's heart. I didn't expect Qiao Zhenzhen to be chased by an ordinary big boy, it's incredible.
"I'm not in that kind of relationship with Zhenzhen, we're here to participate in the sea auction this time." Qin Fan smiled bitterly, in case Mai's brother also misunderstood the relationship between him and Qiao Zhenzhen, and came to him to work hard, then the fun would be great.
"That's right, Qin Fan is a master of antique collection." Qiao Zhenzhen nodded and told the wheat about the sea auction.
After Qiao Zhenzhen finished speaking, Mai's gaze at Qin Fan suddenly became a little different.
"Are you really a master of forensics?"
In Mai's opinion, those antique appraisal masters are at least fifty or sixty years old, and any one of them can be their father. She had really never seen such a young appraisal master, and she saw that Qin Fan was a few years younger than herself.
"Hehe, the master can't talk about it. I just like to collect antiques, and I just have a little bit of experience. ”
Hearing this, Mai's impression of Qin Fan was also a little better. The so-called successful people and rich second generations around her, if they have a little achievement, they can't wait to blow it to the sky, and they have a high-minded face, which makes her very disgusted.
In comparison, although Qin Fan is not very old, his personality is introverted, calm and unassuming, and he is much more mature than those coaxing second ancestors.
Several young people got together to chat, and it didn't take long for Wheat to get acquainted with Qin Fan.
"Qin Fan, are you also interested in sea salvage? You don't want to go to sea to salvage a shipwreck. Wheat didn't mean to laugh at Qin Fan, and patiently explained, "Don't think that salvaging a wreck at sea is a very simple matter, if there is no accurate positioning, it is impossible to salvage the wreck aimlessly in the open sea." ”
70% of the earth's area is ocean, and the sea area where they are located alone is very vast, and if the location of the wreck cannot be accurately located, it is impossible to salvage the wreck.
Wheat used to be engaged in marine salvage work, and he gave Qin Fan many professional opinions, which benefited him a lot.
"My brother is here!"
At this time, Qin Fan saw a man with a toned body and tanned skin, a bit like a certain male star in Xiangjiang, walking towards them.
It seems that this person is the brother who once pursued Qiao Zhenzhen's wheat.
"Hello, I'm Wheat's brother."
Damai greeted Qin Fan and Qiao Zhenzhen warmly, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, perhaps because he often went to sea, his smile was very sunny.
The first impression of this barley on Qin Fan was good, and I heard Qiao Zhenzhen say that he was from an old chaebol family in the United States, mixed Chinese and Mizu, and a typical second-generation chaebol born with a golden key.
But in him, Qin Fan didn't feel the domineering of ordinary Second Ancestor at all. On the contrary, Barley is very modest, very cultivated and personable, and at first glance he has received a good family education.
"Really, this friend of yours is an appraiser?"
Hearing Qiao Zhenzhen's introduction and what happened at the sea auction, Damai was also surprised, and looked at Qin Fan curiously.
Although Damai had pursued Qiao Zhenzhen before, he had no hostility towards Qin Fan, but had a good conversation with this interesting young man, and soon became acquainted.
After chatting with Damai for a while, Qin Fan learned that Damai and Wheat were volunteers of the World Marine Environmental Protection Organization and were currently working in the Okinawa branch.
Their job is to promote and protect marine life such as whales and dolphins from being hunted by fishermen.
Dolphins and whales have been harvested for food since the Edo period, and the number of dolphins killed each year can reach 13,000, as well as about 850 minke whales and 50 fin whales.
In a fishing village in southern Japan, a dolphin killing festival is held every year, and more than 20,000 dolphins and whales are brutally slaughtered over a six-month period.
This cruel act was strongly protested by Western animal protectionists. However, in the face of condemnation and resistance from the global community, Japanese officials have been insisting on the cruel hunting of whales and dolphins on the grounds that "whale hunting and eating whales is a Japanese culture and food tradition".
When it comes to the killing of whales and dolphins in Japan, the barley and wheat are a little heavy.
They have been in Okinawa's Marine Environmental Protection Organization branch for two months, but they have not achieved much in their work. Whale and dolphin hunting is a tradition and folklore in the country, and it doesn't take so easy to change the mindset of local fishermen and stop going out to sea to hunt dolphins and whales.
Qin Fan admired these two brothers and sisters a little, as the second generation of chaebols born with a golden key, they did not drive luxury cars all day long, but devoted themselves to marine protection activities, which couldn't help but make people awe-inspired.
At this time, Damai received a phone call, and after saying a few words in Japanese, his face changed suddenly.
"Brother, what's going on?" Seeing Big Mac's expression, Wheat realized that something was wrong and hurriedly asked.
Putting down the phone, Damai said with an anxious expression, "Just now, the staff of the Marine Environmental Protection Organization called and said that a dolphin was found entangled in a fishing net on the nearby beach, and I should rush over to rescue it immediately." ”
"Let's go together, and if something happens, there will be a lot of people."
Qiao Zhenzhen and Mai were both heartbroken, and several young people followed Damai into an off-road vehicle and went straight to the beach.
When they arrived at the beach, Qin Fan and Qiao Zhenzhen changed into life jackets, took a speedboat prepared by the staff of the environmental protection organization, and drove out in the direction where the dolphins were trapped.
Riding the wind and waves along the way, the speedboat drove on the sea for more than twenty minutes, and Qin Fan and Damai finally found the dolphin that was entangled in a fishing net.
"Hey, that's weird, why is this dolphin pink?"
Qiao Zhenzhen's blue eyes widened, and he asked curiously looking at the dolphin entangled in fishing nets.
"It's ...... Chinese White Dolphins! ”
At this time, Qin Fan and Damai also saw the dolphin with pink skin, and their faces showed surprise and excitement.
"Chinese white dolphins? This dolphin is obviously pink. Qiao really didn't know why, and said strangely.
"Hehe, although this dolphin is called the Chinese white dolphin, the color of its body is not white, but pink."
As far as Qin Fan knows, the Chinese white dolphin belongs to the national first-class protection action, known as the "giant panda of the sea", mainly distributed in the western Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the East China Sea.
Newborn Chinese white dolphins are dark gray, and young dolphins are gray and turn pink when they reach adulthood.
However, the pink color of white dolphins is not caused by pigments, but by blood vessels under the epidermis.
The earliest record of the discovery of Chinese white dolphins in history was during the Tang Dynasty. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the Pearl River estuary area in Guangzhou called the white dolphin Bai Ji and sea pig.
Nowadays, Chinese white dolphins are mainly distributed in the southeast coastal area of the Republic, of which there are two areas where white dolphins are concentrated, one is the Jiulong River Estuary in Xiamen City, and the other is the Pearl River Estuary in Guangdong.
"In the same way as Chinese white dolphins, they often gather together with 3 or 5 dolphins, and at most 23 white dolphins move together. This is supposed to be a lone white dolphin. Luckily, no one has found it in the vicinity, so let's go over and release the dolphin. ”
Big Mac steered the speedboat and approached the white dolphin that was trapped in a fishing net.
But just as Qin Fan and the others were about to approach the Chinese white dolphin, a Japanese fishing boat suddenly came out and quickly drove to the location of the Chinese white dolphin.
"Oh no, they're going to take that Chinese white dolphin."
Seeing the fishing boat approaching the white dolphin, Qin Fan and Damai's faces changed. If you think about it with your ass, you know that this fishing boat is definitely not here to rescue the white dolphins.
During the hunting season, fishermen in Taiji Bay can sell meat from a single dolphin for $300 to $500, and for a more special dolphin, it can sell for a whopping $100,000. What's more, it is the Chinese white dolphin, known as the "giant panda of the sea".
Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, and there are many people who take risks for the sake of profit.
Damai desperately drove the speedboat to approach the fishing boat, but he was still one step slower, and could only watch as the fishing boat captured the Chinese white dolphin trapped in the fishing net and onto the boat.
"No, they're going to run."
At this time, the fishing boat that caught the Chinese white dolphin also saw Damai and their speedboat, and turned the bow of the boat and fled quickly towards the open sea.
"We chase."
Big Mac sped up and chased after him, and finally caught up with the fishing boat after about ten minutes.
"Stop the boat! We are the staff of the World Environment Organization. Big Mac pulled out a megaphone and shouted into the fishing boat in Japanese.
But at this time, the fishing boat not only did not stop, but sped up and collided with Qin Fan's speedboat.
