After the flu, a disease called hemorrhagic fever has once again ravaged the world, and there are many variants of the virus that cause this disease, ranging from severe to mild.
But either way, it didn't cause much harm in China. The Chinese www.biquge.info most important thing is that China's basic health and medical care have been laid to the bottom, and there are many natural enemies of rats and mosquitoes, which will not cause harm to these creatures. So these seasonal outbreaks of high-speed reproduction are terrible for the West, but they are the norm in China. Preventive sensitization and drug distribution were carried out early in health and health facilities.
In addition, the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is considered conservative in the West, but patients are generally taken care of by doctors throughout the process, and the disease is often quickly contained. In addition, TCM treatment is often not a simple treatment, but also includes the correction of unreasonable living conditions and living environments. It is a process of comprehensive management. The virus has no way to spread, so it naturally disappears quickly.
A bat swept past Zhang Chun, because the light in the forest is not so bright, so these bats also fly during the day. It is a master at eating mosquitoes. But now it's not for hunting, it's for hiding from a falcon.
And this small falcon did not dare to go too far from the canopy. In the sky, two huge golden eagles are driving away a vulture from the Andes. This vulture was brought back from the Andes by a member of the Darkmoon team. It's just that the territory of such birds of prey is very large, and the battle between the fiercest birds of prey in Asia and the fiercest birds of prey in the Americas has never stopped. It's just that the golden eagle is a pair. And the Andean vulture has only one, which is often in a vulnerable position, if not protected by the owner. Like keeping the territory is impossible.
Forest mosquitoes have little chance of surviving, and they choose to multiply in large numbers in a short period of time, mate quickly, lay eggs, and then die. Even so. Their eggs have little chance of surviving, either on the foliage or in small puddles.
Lizards and frogs feed mainly on them. There are hundreds of species of lizards and frogs in the forest today. Even South America's most poisonous tree frog has it.
In later generations, the reason why the forest was infested with mosquitoes, mountain locusts, etc., was because the food chain was broken. These creatures have fewer natural predators and are completely regulated by the climate. When the climate is harsh, they lie dormant. Once the climate is right, it becomes overwhelming.
The same is true of locust plagues throughout history. Locust eggs are found in the soil. When the biological chain in the soil breaks, the biological layer disappears, which allows the locust eggs to safely overwinter. But now, there are more organisms and microorganisms in the soil, and there are more animals that like to dig food from the soil. Like mosquitoes and rats, locusts are not absent, but they cannot become infestations.
Although the secondary forest in Dongshuiya has only just been renewed, it has the most and most frequent introduction of organisms.
Hawaiian honey birds and American hummingbirds. It was introduced by the College of Forestry and is specially protected because the population of this bird, although it has recovered in North America, is still small. And this bird has been isolated from the world for tens of thousands of years. It is not adapted to the complex environment of Asian forests.
But this is not absolutely the case. Through experiments in Yunnan, the Forestry Institute has proved that this bird living in Asia is significantly more flexible and intelligent than in the Americas. As long as there is a sufficient population, evolution can be formed, otherwise it must be eliminated.
This hummingbird is a pollen bearer above the multi-layered canopy of primary forests.
In addition to hummingbirds, there is also a wheat bird brought from Africa. This insect-like bird was brought in hundreds of eggs from Africa by a French expert from an environmental protection organization, who did not know that they thought they were eggs.
But actually. That's not an egg. The Institute of Biology succeeded in hatching them. and carried out breeding and release.
Because of these animals, now the oldest part of the Shennongjia forest area. The canopy of trees over thirty meters is now rejuvenated. As these ancient trees are registered and protected, plus the introduction of various flora and fauna. The "fairyland on earth" that used to be seen only for a short period of time has now taken on a certain scale.
It is called the water cloud biome, which is a biological community produced by the aggregation of insects, algae and microorganisms in the air when the water vapor is abundant, pollen and various organic matter in the air have reached a certain level, and there are even plants such as Asteraceae.
In North America, some ancient Korean pines are only more than 30 meters old to flourish, and the higher they go, the more sparse the branches and leaves, and even the needles are fine. However, due to the special geographical conditions in central Hubei Province, the water vapor in the south is stranded here, that is, at a height of 70 meters and 80 meters, and the trees can still have a very good living environment.
The biodiversity here determines that they are trapping water vapor and nutrients, and once again forming a very special ecological environment above 50 meters. These small birds, which are able to fly high into the air, are much more alive and adaptable than insects.
It is also an ancient tree, and the ecology of the mixed forest is much better than that of the pure fir forest in Dongshuiya.
Although these thousand-year-old firs are also tall, the canopy of the trees is still much smaller, even if it has expanded rapidly in the past two years. At first, there were very few bryophytes on the trunk, and the branches were straight and smooth, with few thick branches. So much so that for a long time, students simply used telescopes to make observations from high places.
Although these trees are tall, there are few other places where an ancient tree can occupy a mountain peak and form a unique ecosystem. However, some broad-leaved tree species that were suppressed and never grew now have a little taste.
After a few last few cuts, a maple tree fell. What is left is a sour horn tree that is about two or three hundred years old. Without fir trees to block the sun, these previously huddled and crooked trees popped up one after another. It only took three years for the trees to be thinned.
"Fallen trees." A ranger shouted, a loud voice echoing through the mountains.
This maple tree is the dominant tree species in Dongshuiya, because the forest has a short lifespan, so there are not many vines, and after cutting off a few major branches, it is relatively easy to put down the tree. So there weren't many rangers who came to help. In other wooded areas, it would take several days to remove a dead tree.
Despite this, the rangers perform the ritual of cutting down a tree.
When it was time to cut it, everyone went up and hugged the trunk. The maple tree, which was more than forty centimeters in diameter, had to make way for the older sour horn tree next to it, which was capable of producing sweet sour horns.
"Roar", the ranger drove a group of dozens of monkeys.
The monkeys knew that every time they cut down a tree, there was a lot of food left on the ground, and they got acquainted with the rangers, so they would avoid them a little, and the rangers would follow as soon as they turned around.
A black bear also gnawed on the hive after the ranger had taken the honey. When the rangers chased it, they actually roared threateningly at the rangers.
However, when the trunk fell not far from it, it was so frightened that it threw the hive and ran away.
When Zhang Chun and a teacher from the Forestry College arrived, they looked up at the sour horn trees that had been preserved.
"I think this sour horn tree is 300 years old. We have noticed it for a long time, and it belongs to the horseshoe sour horn that the Tujia people say. The taste is very good, but the environment was not good before, and the yield was not high. ”
Two children cut off ripe sour horns with special scissors in a tree.
"We have a small plantation forest down the hill, but the taste is much worse than that. This thing can be absorbed by people more organic calcium than other crops, and contains sugar, organic acids, amino acids, and is also above average. He smiled and whispered to Zhang Chun: "It can also prevent the plague." ”
"Hey, all fruits with high nutritional value are protected against the plague." A forest ranger came over and handed Zhang Chun a basket of wild fruits, which they had picked from the tree when they were cutting it down.
"It's good to know, and you don't have to say it so bluntly!" The teacher laughed.
Plague is now a buzzword because TV shows show the epidemic in the West over and over again. The fighting in various countries has stopped, and troops have entered the affected areas to help with isolation and disinfection. The Jews acted as saviors, donating a batch of penicillin to the affected areas. It's a great opportunity to advertise, so why not take advantage of it?
The Jews are engaged in a propaganda campaign that belittles the opinions of Chinese experts and boycotts the international health organization that China is preparing to establish.
It is believed that China's epidemic prevention and treatment measures can only deal with a small-scale epidemic, but cannot deal with such a global catastrophe. Yes, the Jews used the word catastrophe.
Chinese experts simply ignored them and continued to investigate on the front lines.
However, it can only be investigated epidemiologically. Originally, improving the environment in the epidemic area and blocking the transmission route of the virus was the best way. However, under the quarantine measures of the so-called experts of Western medical schools, the environment in the epidemic area has not only not improved, but has deteriorated rapidly. Resulted in a large number of deaths.
And the Chinese experts did not wear heavy isolation clothes, they went out of the epidemic area freely, and there was nothing, which has to say that the Chinese are tough.
This has gradually become a topic that people like to discuss in China, but it has a bit of a joke. (To be continued) R655
