Chapter 325: American Properties
From the moment he stepped on the pedal, Lin Ji nodded secretly.
The boat is very clean, and there is not a trace of smudge on the pedals. After getting on the ship, there was not a trace of dust on the deck. The placement of various items is also neat, including the direction of the cable knots.
If only one of the ships had maintained this norm, the discipline of the crew would have been ensured and it would have been more difficult for the spread of transoceanic diseases. It can be said that at this point, the stone beak does a good job.
"Wow, that's a tall bear."
But when the child walked into the cabin and let out the first exclamation, Lin Ji began to frown. Immediately began to wonder if his head of customs was going to be replaced.
Since the last time the vermilion monkey got the bay crocodile to Chaolin City, Huaxia has set up a customs office, and all items that have not been declared cannot be cleared. This is a necessary means to avoid biological invasions. Later generations were ignorant, and ecological disasters such as Asian carp in the Americas and water hyacinth in the continent did not want these to begin to appear 10,000 years ago.
If the stone beak gets back the short-faced bears of the Americas, although it may not cause ecological disaster, the disease they carry may spread here, and with the current medical conditions, it may cause a devastating blow to the current kingdom's breeding industry, which is unacceptable to him.
So, even if Stonebeak was kind enough to bring these big guys back, it would be time for the Commissioner of Customs to get out of class.
Lin Ji stepped into the cabin with a dark face, and sure enough, he saw a tall bear standing against the door, and he didn't see any restraint on the bear. A few of his children are reaching out to touch the bear's feet!
Lin Ji saw the hairs explode. Even if this bear has been domesticated, Lin Ji does not think that it will not be afraid of life.
But when he saw that Stonebeak was looking at him with a playful expression, he quickly reacted, there was no fishy smell of wild beasts on the whole ship, and he could not hear the sound of beast roars, obviously he was thinking too much. Sure enough, when Lin Ji calmed down and looked closely, he saw that the bear was motionless, and the position of his eyes was white.
It was just a bear specimen, or a propped up bear skin.
Stone Beak smiled: "What? Afraid I'll really bring the bear back? ”
Lin Ji was a little embarrassed: "No, I'm still relieved that you do things, haha." What kind of bear is this? Is it the American short-faced bear? ”
The bear is nearly four meters tall, a little taller than a brown bear, and larger than a brown bear, but its limbs are relatively slender, like a giant dog.
"We couldn't catch it alive, we had to kill it and skin it back," he said. Our ship can't fit either. If you call it a short-faced bear, then it's a short-faced bear. ”
The stone beak led Youzhi and continued to walk forward, the windows in the cabin were wide open, and it looked extremely bright, and after a few steps, a saber-toothed tiger appeared in front of everyone.
The saber-toothed tiger's body is markedly different from the one here, but it has the same sharp teeth.
A few steps further, there are three wolves. These wolves have short mouths and thick jaws, which look larger than ordinary wolves, but their legs are shorter.
"It's all over there, in packs, like the jackals on our side, and they attack people, they eat everything. These three came to our ship. Stonebeak explained.
In a cabin, another crew member was putting together a mammoth fur, and after seeing it, Lin Ji waved his hand and said, "We all know this, so we don't need to get it." ”
Stone Beak said: "There are more mammoths over there than here, more than when they were hunting, and some species are taller than ours, I want to get a few back, isn't the tiger forest grouper in the hybridization experiment?" Plus they should be better. It's just that the ship can't fit. ”
"Can it be tamed?" This proposal made Lin Ji a little excited.
Stone Beak said: "When we left, Jin Yao was trying. We were in a hurry, so we didn't get it. ”
Lin Ji said: "Let's study this later, or we can get an experimental base in Ryukyu or some island to specialize in this kind of experiment." ”
If you look at it next, it's all specimens or furs of animals brought back from the Americas. Giant clawed sloths, cougars, great beavers, bison, horned moose and even sea cows.
Lin Ji looked at it and said with emotion: "These things may not be able to be seen in a few hundred years, so I want to remind Jin Yao that there should be the same as this side, and the protected area should be carved out to give these animals a little living space." ”
Within the scope of his ability, leaving something for future generations is the best result that Lin Ji can think of. Because the appearance of Homo sapiens in the New World, whether it is farming or hunting, it will bring great danger to large animals. Once farming begins, it will burn for thousands of miles, and most of the large beasts will be exterminated in the fire. Even if it is hunting, they can upset the reproductive balance of the animals themselves for a certain period of time, causing them to disappear from the ground in just a few thousand years.
The fur of these animals is obviously an eye-opener for children, but that's obviously not all the stone beak makes the forest trail see. Stonebeak walked with the forest trail to the last cabin. That cabin is a storage room.
This is very rare on this ship, because there are so many people on the return trip, most of the cabins have been turned into dormitories, and the per capita space of each dormitory is less than two cubic meters...... The shelf bed in the cabin is not two-tiered, but four-tiered, and the bed can only lie flat, making it difficult to sit up.
In the middle of the cabin, a specimen of a camel stands. This camel is very different from the camels seen in the forest tracks, the most unusual of which is that it is four meters tall.
When I saw it, Lin Ji remembered its name. It is the tall-legged camel of the Americas. It is also one of the large animals that will become extinct in this extinction.
"I tried to domesticate a beast in the Americas, and this is it. The domesticated ones are small, very obedient, and fast runners, as long as they eat the leaves of trees. Jin Yao prepares to train them to form a camel army. Use them to conquer entire continents. If possible, we may also get it back. ”
"Then let's get it to the island and raise it for a few years." Lin Ji is very satisfied with this.
It was an unexpected surprise. This species is as tall as an elephant, but smaller than an elephant, and will be more agile and fast than an elephant, presumably this animal can make up for the elephant's shortfall.
Where in the Americas there are no large animals and they have not developed, it is because they exterminated such large animals in the first place.
"What a treasure it is over there." Stonebeak continued, pointing to the many items placed on the cabin.
When Lin Ji turned his head, he saw a natural gold nugget the size of a bull's head. The birth of dog's head gold is already rare, and this piece of bull's head gold is simply rare in the world.
"It was picked up from that place in Jinshan. It took us four people to bring it up. Stonebeak explained, "And that's more. ”
In addition to gold, there are various ores such as silver ore, copper ore, and iron ore. Next to it, there are seeds of various plants in glass bottles.
"We came back with 1,000 barrels of rubber and 20 barrels of seeds. Most of them were handed over to the vermilion monkeys. Whether he wants to plant or experiment, it should be enough, and we can continue to cut from the field in the future. And these herbs you are looking for, seeds and plants are available, complete ......"
Lin Ji was delighted to see it, patted Shi Beak on the shoulder and said, "I'll give it to you when your duke goes back." No one else will be unconvinced. ”
Compared with these seeds, the belonging of the Americas is a trivial matter, with these seeds, there is no bottleneck in his future development, and the credit of the stone beak is enough to seal the public.
