Chapter 609: There are all amazing discoveries
Orchid Mountains and Butterfly Canyons are hidden in the barren mountains and mountains, and this time Liu Yi was inadvertently brought over by the black monkey Jin Zi to re-show their beauty in front of the world.
"Xiaoyanagi, many of these butterflies are rare species!" With the statistics of butterfly data, more and more rare species have been discovered, and Professor Li's excited expression knows from the surface and the inside that such joy is sent to the heart without the slightest falsehood.
Liu Yi smiled faintly: "Professor Li, I think this place should be planned well in the future, even if it is planned in the future, it can't interfere too much with the growth of animals and plants inside, what do you say?" ”
Liu Yi asked Professor Li in the form of a tentative inquiry about what he had just thought, and Professor Li did not disappoint him, and said without hesitation: "In my opinion, this mountain should not be opened to the outside world, completely protect them, and give orchids and butterflies the best growth environment!" ”
Professor Li's statement is even more conservative, which is not what Liu Yi expected.
Liu Yi continued to try to persuade: "This can't be done, I think we can use a passage in the mountains, this road can be separated from tourists by using glass, and it can also do not affect the growth environment of orchids and butterflies on the mountains, so that we can also achieve our goal, right?" ”
Professor Li thought for a while: "This ......, I am only responsible for collecting data on various plants in the mountains, and we only have the right to make suggestions for planning, and we can't do anything about how you plan, but from the perspective of our academic research, we can only hope that these beautiful environments will continue to be satisfied!" ”
"We will definitely pay attention to this, Professor Li, you can rest assured. At least this is my favorite hometown, and it's too late to protect it! In the past, we were not destructive to the environment, and when it came to feelings, no one had the depth of the surrounding villagers for the mountains. Liu Yi also felt it.
"It's a great blessing for you to think so, nature's feedback is mutual, and when you are good to it, it must be good for you......," Professor Li said.
"Professor, professor, look what we found......" A voice on the edge of the stream immediately interrupted the conversation between Professor Li and Liu Yi.
After a while, Liu Yi and Professor Li saw a young assistant holding a butterfly carefully in his hand, probably afraid that the butterfly would run away, and another assistant pressed the butterfly's back, but even so, the butterfly was still struggling to flap its wings.
"It's ...... This is really a golden-spotted beaked butterfly! Professor Li couldn't control his excitement and stammered when he spoke.
One of the assistants just now suspected that he had found a golden-spotted beaked butterfly. But the others laughed at it. The golden-spotted beaked butterfly is a very rare butterfly, a species that is even rarer than the giant panda, and it is generally not something that can be seen casually.
And now that the golden-spotted beaked phoenix butterfly was caught in the hands of an assistant, how could it not make the people present so shocked.
There are more than 15,000 species of butterflies in the world. There are only more than 1,200 species in Huaxia. Among them, the golden-spotted beaked butterfly is the most famous. It is also known as the national butterfly, and it is also the only butterfly in China that has become a national first-class protected animal.
The golden-spotted beaked butterfly belongs to the genus Phoenixidae in the family Phoenixidae, with a body length of about 30 mm. The span of the two wings is about 110 mm, there is an arc-shaped golden-green spot on the forewing, there are several golden-yellow patches in the center of the hindwings, there are crescent-shaped golden-yellow spots on the hind edge, the tail of the hindwings is protruding and slender, and the end is a small piece of golden-yellow. Her posture is beautiful, like a gorgeous, noble, and radiant "noble lady", so she is called "the queen of butterflies." "It is a precious butterfly species in the world.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I actually saw the golden-spotted beaked phoenix butterfly that has been alive in front of my eyes!" Professor Li is a treasurer.
At this time, the assistant who was still holding the butterfly in his hand said resignedly: "Teacher, should we take this butterfly back for study or wait for it to be released?" ”
Professor Li was also stunned by the assistant's question, he didn't know how to answer this question, this butterfly he studied for too short a time, now he has the opportunity, of course, he can spend more time, but this is a first-class protected animal, can not be captured at will, as a senior academic expert, he is bound by moral law.
Seeing this, Liu Yi immediately said loudly: "Professor Li, since there is a golden-spotted beaked butterfly in the mountain, it will definitely not be one, even if you use it for research, even if it is made into a specimen, it is understandable, so that your research can produce results, otherwise, there is no physical reference, and you will not be able to study the results, which will not help us in this operation, I think we should catch this butterfly back!" ”
Seeing that Professor Li was still a little hesitant, Liu Yi immediately turned the object of his inquiry to the assistants who gathered around him: "Do you say that you can do it behind closed doors without a reference for things?" ”
"Yes, we can't do it behind closed doors, the professor (teacher) let's catch it back and study it slowly!" The assistants got up and shouted.
However, Professor Li was still a little stubborn: "Xiaoliu, don't we know it, this kind of butterfly is really a national protected animal, and it is illegal for us to catch it!" ”
"Now we people don't think anyone will go to the government to denounce us, secondly, although I don't know much about butterflies, I also know that a butterfly has a very short lifespan, I don't know how long this kind of butterfly can live, as far as I know, the average butterfly's life is only about half a month, I think it can be used for research is much higher than his free death in the canyon for half a month, you just listen to us!" Liu Yi said again.
After thinking about it for a long time, Professor Li finally failed to withstand the temptation of a butterfly specimen after repeated games in his heart, thinking that this topic was of great research significance to him, and then Liu Yi's repeated persuasion asked his assistant to put the butterfly in a glass jar.
With the appearance of a national treasure-level butterfly, the valley was once again surrounded by assistants, who had a dream in their hearts to find more and more precious butterflies.
After a painstaking search, the emperor finally found a few golden-spotted beaked butterflies in the valley again, but this time the assistant and Professor Li only took a lot of pictures of them and finally released them into the wild.
However, after the statistics of the assistants led by Professor Li, they also found that there are mainly a large number of butterflies in this valley, and the number of butterflies of other categories is relatively small, but I don't know whether this valley is particularly adapted to the climate of phoenix butterflies or other reasons, which need to be studied by them in the future.
Seeing that it was about to be 12 o'clock, Liu Yi observed that the inspectors were still full of interest, and there was no fatigue at all, this is not a good phenomenon, the combination of work and rest is the way of work and rest, and there are still a few days of travel Liu Yi does not want to have any team members injured or low in energy in the next time!
"Professor Li, do you see if it's time for us to go back to dinner, it's almost time to eat now!" Liu Yi directly approached Professor Li and talked about it.
Professor Li didn't care at first: "It's nothing, we just do academic research, and finally there was a field trip, since everyone is so interested, we might as well let them work harder!" ”
"We have a few days of investigation activities in a row, this is in the mountains, usually these people have not gone through such hard work, I think it is still necessary to come leisurely, if the energy is used up in the first two days, the next trip is afraid that the investigation is a form!" Liu Yi said analytically.
"You're right, it looks like I'm not thinking it through!" Professor Li still agrees with Liu Yi's words.
Liu Yi said politely: "That's Professor Li, you are thinking about professional things, I don't understand these things, I can only do logistics support work for everyone, as long as I don't get ridiculed by everyone, it's done!" ”
"Okay, you, I can't help you!" Professor Li said with a smile.
Finally, under Professor Li's order, these assistants soon withdrew in a reluctant mood.
"Oh, I've already spotted a very rare butterfly in the valley, if you give me a little more time I promise to be able to take a picture of its beautiful figure, if you are lucky, even if you catch it, it is possible!"
"There are so many butterflies, I have counted no less than twenty species of ...... in my book."
"I've roughly estimated that there are at least a hundred species of butterflies in this valley, which is unbelievable!"
“……”
The butterfly expedition team walked to the periphery of the mountain, and at this time, the orchid expedition team was also assembling the team to return to the camp, and the topic they talked about was the same as the assistant just now, and they were unwilling!
Liu Yi felt a little funny, the orchid butterflies here will not run away with long legs, and they are not in a hurry, just take a break after lunch in the afternoon and come over to investigate!
On the way back, the two teams also had an exchange on the morning expedition, and the animal expedition team had a live golden-spotted beaked butterfly, which made the team members feel very high-spirited, and felt that the morning was guaranteed to be greater than the results achieved by the plant expedition team.
But to the dessed assistants did not be happy for long, several assistants of the plant expedition team looked at each other and smiled mysteriously, only to see one of them take out a few transparent plastic bags, which actually contained a few flowering orchids.
The flower color is very different from the general orchid, and the flower shape always looks very majestic, and the assistant who took out this orchid said softly: "We plan to take this orchid back to the camp and transplant it into a flower pot, and our professor plans to take it back for research, Professor Wang also said that such orchids are very rare, and he also wants to use this orchid as the mother this time to cultivate more orchids of the same kind!" ”
"You pry this orchid away, is there anything like this in the mountain?" Liu Yi asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, we found a lot of cherished orchids in that col, there are more precious than this kind, but that kind is too rare and we haven't moved, these are very rare on the outside, but there are still a lot of them in the col!" That assistant seemed to see Liu Yi's inner world!
That's good, the mountains won't be wiped out! (To be continued......)
