Chapter 62 Mauritius

According to IMF statistics, the country with the highest per capita GDP in the world is Luxembourg, with a per capita GDP of 110,000 US dollars, far less than Ming Guo's per capita 15 million euros (nearly 20 million US dollars), which is a terrifying number, and the GDP has ranked 57th in the world in only 12 days, surpassing Hungary's GDP1340 billion US dollars.

Just when the whole world was admiring the miracle of Ming's economic development, another news that shocked the world came, a British photographer accidentally found a photo of a suspected white-sided dolphin in the Minghe, the widest river in the Ming Kingdom. Then the photographer's interest was aroused, he wore a wetsuit, took a number of photos of the white-sided dolphin, and then crossed the Ming River, secretly broke through the guards of the army, ran to the north of the Ming Kingdom, and found a dodo, an animal that had only been seen in legends.

Zhu Wei has always blocked the news of the dodo, because at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Kingdom, there was no army and no ability to protect the resources of the island, but he didn't expect to be discovered, which made him more depressed, but he knew about the white-sided dolphin for the first time, and he didn't know that there was a white-sided dolphin on his island.

The white-sided dolphin is also an endangered species, with fewer than 50 of them endemic to China and has been declared functionally extinct. This time, Mingguo unexpectedly found a white-sided dolphin, which also made Zhu Wei very happy. But now he can only raise the security level of the northern nature reserve, and prohibit the clandestine visit to the reserve.

The news was released exclusively by the British BBC broadcaster, and this set of photos of the dodo detonated the Internet, and the white-sided dolphin had to bow to the upper hand.

The British BBC said that during the two trade fairs in the Ming Kingdom, a British photographer secretly ran into the mountains of the Ming Kingdom and took this set of photos somewhere in the Ming Kingdom, including more than a dozen photos of dodos, dodo groups, and dodo eggs.

Netizens can see from the photos released by the BBC that there are three varieties of dodos in the photos, one is black-gray, blue-gray, and one is yellow-brown, the common characteristics are all large and long beaks, hooks at the front end, fat and cute, short wings that cannot fly, thick legs, and a tuft of rolled feathers on the hips.

The dodo, which perished in the 17th century, is one of the creatures that human scientists most want to resurrect, and the only dodo sample in the world is a foot bone, which is closely preserved in the Natural History Museum of the University of Oxford, England, along with the fur.

But as can be seen from the photos, these dodos live very well in the Ming Kingdom, leisurely walking, and are not even afraid of humans, and the three species of dodos in the photos show that this kind of life, which has been extinct in other parts of the earth, has survived in the Ming Kingdom.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was immediately uploaded, and people all over the world saw this cute creature, which was cute and cute, comparable to the giant panda in China. Biologists, naturalists, and zookeepers from all over the world wanted to borrow a dodo from the Ming Kingdom.

Many Chinese netizens don't know much about this creature, many people see the photo, wow, what an ugly kind of big duck this is, in fact, most people will see the cuteness of this creature.

At the same time, the Republic of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean has become a mess. As an island nation in eastern Africa, the Republic of Mauritius is located in the southwestern Indian Ocean, about 800 kilometers from Madagascar and 2,200 kilometers from the African continent.

Mauritius was once the only place in the world where the dodo lived, but it became extinct at the end of the 17th century. Although it is extinct, it has not affected the existence of the dodo as the national bird in Mauritius.

But now there is a dodo in the Ming Kingdom, which makes Mauritius very embarrassed, the national emblem of Mauritius is a dodo, but the country with the dodo as the national bird does not have a dodo, and the Ming country has several populations of dodos, which is emotionally unacceptable to the Mauritian people.

The Prime Minister of the Republic of Mauritius, Navinchandra Ramgoolam, immediately left Port Louis and took a flight to Japan, from which he took a boat to Mingguo. Although the Ming State has joined the United Nations, and Mauritius has recognized the establishment of the Ming State at the United Nations General Assembly, the two countries have not yet established diplomatic relations.

Ming also does not attach much importance to Mauritius, and a country with a GDP of only more than 10 billion US dollars will not have any impact on Ming's economy.

However, the dodo incident directly pushed the schedule of Mauritius' visit to Mongolia forward, and the Mauritian National Assembly sent Mauritian Prime Minister Navinchandra Ramgoolam and Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Regional Cooperation Alvin Blair to pay an official visit to Mingzhou.

The opinion of the President of Mauritius is that it is best to buy two dodos, one male and one female, to breed in Mauritius, or hope that the Ming government can give a pair, although this possibility is not impossible, but it is not very high.

If the Ming government really does not agree, the president of Mauritius can hope to lease two dodos, which is the last hope, and the price can refer to the price of the giant pandas rented out in Huaxia, each panda is rented for 1 million US dollars a year.

The President of Mauritius thinks that no matter how expensive it is, it will not surpass the giant panda, right?

Prime Minister Navenchandra Ramgooram was welcomed by the Ming government, and the newly appointed state secretary Lin Ning and the imperial minister of commerce Xia Haiyan went to the port to welcome him. Lin Ning graduated from Yenching Shuimu University in China, majoring in international relations, and was a postdoctoral degree.

In the Ming Dynasty, the state affairs book was the third prime minister, and the prime minister system of the Ming Empire adopted the Song system, with the prime minister as the prime minister in charge of the Zhongshu province, the deputy prime minister as the sub-prime minister of the main department, and the third prime minister as the last prime minister in charge of the State Council, that is, the state affairs secretary in charge of international affairs.

This means that the Secretary of State is also a member of the Cabinet. For the 32-year-old Lin Ning, the future is bright.

The Ming Empire's Zhongshu Province held a small welcoming ceremony for Prime Minister Naveynchandra Ramgoolam at the Yingzhou Garden Hotel, and a flag-raising ceremony was held, followed by talks in Zhongshu Province.

Naveen Chandra Ramgoolam is nearly 70 years old, but he is still in good health, with gray hair and a pair of glasses.

The two sat together, and Lin Ning first welcomed the visit of Prime Minister Naveenchandra, Mauritius is one of the most economically developed countries in Africa, with a per capita GDP of 7,345 US dollars and the first place in Africa in terms of living index.

Ming is willing to deepen understanding, cooperation, friendship and common development with Mauritius.

Prime Minister Navenchandra said that Mauritius will make every effort to cooperate and exchange friendship with the Ming Empire, and hopes that friendly bilateral relations can be established immediately, ambassadors can be exchanged, and credentials can be handed to each other.

At the end of the official talks, Prime Minister Naveen Chandra privately presented a pair of Mauritian national treasures and a pair of Rodriguez giant tortoises to Ming Guo.

Giant tortoises are the largest tortoises in the world. Its carapace is 1.5 meters long, weighs about 250 kilograms, has thick and strong legs, and resembles the giant feet of elephants, so it is called "giant tortoise". Giant tortoises inhabit mountain bogs and meadows. Found on foggy mountain tops during the dry season. Because it grows so big that it can't climb, it can only feed on grass, wild fruits, and cacti. I like to eat juicy green cacti the most, and I can eat more than 10 kg per day. Because it usually accumulates a lot of food in its body, it will not starve to death if it does not eat or drink for a long time. It has a long lifespan, three or four hundred years.

Unfortunately, the fate of the Rodríguez giant tortoise, a native of Mauritius, is similar to that of the dodo, and it has been extinct within a century since humans set foot on the island. The earliest voyagers used Mau Island as a port for food supplies. After the ship broke down, the sailors went ashore to replenish their food. When they saw such a huge giant tortoise for the first time, in addition to being surprised, they naturally wondered how to eat it. At first, they salted the tortoise's meat and ate it, but later it became clear that the tortoise could live for several months without food, so the tortoise became their source of fresh meat.

In order to protect the tortoises, the Giant Tortoise Conservation Centre in Mauritius has been set up and there are currently more than 1,000 tortoises in Mauritius.
