Chapter 52: A scientific expedition in search of the anchor

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

After 20 years of companionship, Chen Qingyuan has long accumulated a deep friendship with Lao Ban, so when it passed away, Chen Qingyuan was heartbroken and even fainted for a while.

I am both saddened by the passing of the old spotted and saddened by the departure of the world's last giant giant snake-necked turtle.

Worldwide!

The last giant snake-necked turtle left!

Completely extinct on the earth!

So these days, Chen Qingyuan has always stared at the pond where the "old spot" has lived and sighed.

"The old dean brought you out, and he wanted to find you a companion, let you have a family, and reproduce your own children, but who would have thought...... Alas! ”

Today, Chen Qingyuan came to the pond again, sat on the stone chair that usually feeds the old spots, sighed for a while, and returned to the laboratory, ready to start today's work.

However, when he passed by a graduate student's desk, he was stunned when he inadvertently saw a picture on the computer.

In the background of the picture is a green lake, the water of which is churned and the waves are rolling, and a brown pattern is drilled between the waves.

"Huh? This pattern? ”

As an expert on turtle biology for decades, Chen Qingyuan has an unusually keen insight into the skin of turtle creatures.

So, when he looked at this picture, he was almost certain that this brown pattern must be the skin of a turtle creature.

"Is this a big snapping turtle, or a Chinese flower turtle, no, no, it's more like a giant snake-necked turtle......"

The old professor, who had a lot of knowledge about turtles, never thought that it was the skin of a python, and he knew very well that it must be the color of turtle creatures.

You can't go wrong!

Puzzled, Chen Qingyuan took the opportunity to sit in the position of a graduate student, carefully browsing this picture and even the whole news.

At first, Chen Qingyuan was just curious, but when he looked at it, he was shocked.

Eat 60 pounds of big fish!

It was a giant python who did it!

The whole news report is very clear that an anchor caught a big fish while fishing, and then released it, only to be eaten by a big python!

"Python? It can't be a python! ”

Chen Qingyuan directly denied: "The skin of the python is not like this, this brown pattern must be a turtle, but the question is, what kind of turtle creature can eat a 60-pound big fish?"

Could it be a Galapagos tortoise?

No! Wrong!

This news happened in the territory of Jiangzhou, Huaxia, where there could be no Galapagos tortoise! ”

Suddenly, Chen Qingyuan's eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing suddenly became short: "Could it be that there is another giant giant snake-necked turtle in this world?" ”

"Yes, it must be!"

"The old spot was found 30 years ago in the Muchuan National Forest Park in Sichuan Province, Jiangzhou and Sichuan are adjacent to each other, and it is entirely possible that another giant giant snake-necked turtle appeared there!"

The more Chen Qingyuan thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and he walked around excitedly, no one wanted to find the second giant snake-necked turtle more than him.

Because this is the creature they have been looking for for 30 years, from the time they found the old spot, they have been looking for it, and they have been finding it until now!

However, God did not fulfill people's wishes, and until Lao Ban passed away, he was not found.

It can be said that finding the second giant snake-necked turtle has become Chen Qingyuan's obsession, and now that he finally has a clue, how can he not be excited?

At that moment, he immediately found his doctoral student and asked him to prepare immediately to conduct a field scientific expedition, and then called his family and the school respectively.

Leave, accounting, ticket booking......

An hour later, the expedition was formed!

Another hour later, the expedition team hurried to the airport.

Before leaving, Chen Qingyuan explained the graduate student he had brought with him and asked him to investigate the location of the anchor and his contact information.

So, the graduate students hurried into action.

Four hours later, the plane landed at Jiangzhou Airport, and after Chen Qingyuan started the plane, he received a call from a graduate student.

"Professor Chen, I have found the anchor, his name is Gao Xiaoguang, from Yunyang County, and his contact information is ......"

Chen Qingyuan hurriedly wrote it down and said, "You did a good job!" ”

After speaking, he hung up the phone, and then handed his mobile phone number to a doctoral student in the expedition team and instructed: "Contact this person!" ”

……

At this moment, Gao Xiaoguang is broadcasting live net fish in the Huangshi Reservoir outside Yunyang County, since the last live broadcast of Yingyue fishing became popular, in just two days, Gao Xiaoguang's popularity has dropped very seriously.

The show is somewhat bland and seriously lacking in quality.

So, popularity slipped.

The number of online viewers is now less than 5,000.

This made Gao Xiaoguang very helpless.

He has worked hard to do live broadcasts, but the quality of the program is lacking, and it is difficult to recover the lost popularity after all.

He wanted to call Ying Yue today and wanted to broadcast live with him, but Ying Yue sternly refused, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

Gao Xiaoguang was very disappointed, so he could only take his cousin to the Huangshi Reservoir to net fish.

"Brothers, the anchor is out of the box today, not only bought five new fishing nets, but also bought a kayak, and today I will broadcast the net fish live for the brothers!"

On the water surface of the Huangshi Reservoir, Gao Xiaoguang and a middle school student sat on a kayak, casting nets and laughing live broadcast.

"Brothers, pay attention to the fish balls, go a wave!"

"I said anchor, where did your old iron go? Why not partner with him? ”

"That's it, the anchor, your skills are not good, let's find him!"

"Strongly ask the anchor to find that person!"

"We're going to see him live!"

“+1……”

Looking at the barrage, Gao Xiaoguang smiled bitterly: "Brothers, do you think I don't want to?" But my old iron doesn't want to!

I called three times this morning and the scolded dog was bloody......"

"Didi ......"

Just as Gao Xiaoguang was complaining, another mobile phone rang.

Gao Xiaoguang took it out and looked at it, and saw that it was a strange call, so he hung up directly, who would have thought, and called again after a while.

"Paralysis! Who is this, calling Lao Tzu vigorously? ”

Gao Xiaoguang was speechless, but he still connected the phone, and as a result, a very sweet voice came from the other end of the phone, which extinguished Gao Xiaoguang's anger at once.

"Hey, are you Mr. Gao Xiaoguang?"

"It's me, it's me, may I ask ...... you"

Gao Xiaoguang nodded again and again and asked.

"I'm Song Xiaoqian, an investigator of the scientific expedition team of the Turtle Research Laboratory of the College of Biological Sciences of Huaqing University, and we have something to ask you for!"

School of Biological Sciences, Tsinghua University?

A scientific expedition to the Turtle Research Laboratory?

Have a problem with you?

Gao Xiaoguang was stunned when he heard this, his first thought must have met a liar, the scientific expedition team of Huaqing University, looking for me?

How can it be?

"Sister, are you kidding me?" Gao Xiaoguang said speechlessly.

Song Xiaoqian had already expected his reaction, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Gao Xiaoguang, it's not clear on the phone, let's talk about it face to face." In this way, where you are, we will look for you, and when we see us, you will naturally be able to judge the authenticity! ”

"Meet?"

Gao Xiaoguang instinctively raised his vigilance: "I still have to do a live broadcast now, but I don't have time to meet you!" ”

Let him meet a stranger of unknown origin?

It's scary to think about!

"Mr. Gao Xiaoguang, we are really an expedition team from Huaqing University, there is no other meaning, don't be afraid!"

Song Xiaoqian also felt that this request was a bit abrupt, and even explained it at the moment, but in the lack of strong explanatory evidence, how could Gao Xiaoguang believe it?

Professor Chen Qingyuan suddenly said: "Send my photos and information, let him Baidu himself, if you can, let me video with him!" ”

"Okay, Professor!"

Next, Song Xiaoqian did as the professor instructed.

"Chen Qingyuan?"

Gao Xiaoguang connected Baidu to this person, but he was surprised to find that this person was really a professor at the School of Biological Sciences of Huaqing University, which was exactly the same as the photo Song Xiaoqian gave him.

Then, after video verification, Gao Xiaoguang finally determined that these people who came to him were really from Huaqing University.

He suddenly felt flattered that a professor from Huaqing University, with an expedition team, actually came to him?

"Brothers, why do I think it's so unreal?"

The live broadcast room also became lively, the barrage flew up, and the audience also expressed curiosity and confusion, and at the same time reminded Gao Xiaoguang to be vigilant.

In the end, the two parties agreed on a meeting place, Gao Xiaoguang stopped fishing, cleaned up with his cousin, and drove his broken pickup truck towards Yunyang County.

Three hours later, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the two sides met at the bus station in Yunyang County.

"Hello, Mr. Gao Xiaoguang!"

As soon as he saw Gao Xiaoguang, Chen Qingyuan greeted him politely.

"Professor Chen, hello, just call me Xiao Gao!"

The two sides said hello, Gao Xiaoguang wanted to take them to a restaurant and talk in detail while eating, who would have thought that Chen Qingyuan was an anxious person, where would he talk to him in detail?

"Xiao Gao, I won't say more about the extra nonsense!"

Chen Qingyuan got straight to the point, directly took out a set of photos, and said: "Where is this valley where you did the live broadcast that day?" ”

Gao Xiaoguang took it and looked at it, and immediately smiled: "This is a valley on the other side of a large number of mountains, very close to here, Professor Chen, why are you asking this?" ”

"Take me!"

Chen Qingyuan said a little impatiently.

"This ...... Professor Chen, it's not early today, why don't you go tomorrow?! ”

Gao Xiaoguang wondered, although it was close, it took more than an hour to drive, and it was almost five o'clock now.

To go at this time?

"Go now!"

Chen Qingyuan said undoubtedly: "Xiao Gao, don't worry, just as our expedition team hired you, we will give you the money according to the tour guide fee, how about it?" ”

"Not really!"

Gao Xiaoguang smiled: "As long as you allow me to broadcast live!" ”

"Live?"

Chen Qingyuan waved his hand and said, "No problem!" ”

At that moment, the group got into Gao Xiaoguang's pickup truck and drove towards a large number of mountains.

By the time I arrived, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

At this time, it was not yet dark, the sun had already set, and everyone got out of the car, and when they came to the outside of the valley, they were blocked by a row of bamboo fences.

"Huh! When was this fence built? ”
