"Whew! Call! ”
Everyone climbed all the way up the mountain, and when they were only halfway there, they were almost tired. And the twenty glorious tree diggers, though they were well-trained and strong, were very tired.
A few researchers found themselves taking the idea for granted, that the tree in the mountain would be easier to dig up than the one in the valley. Although the jungle is not as dark and dense, it is always more difficult to climb the mountains than to walk on flat ground.
"Do you want to change your goal?"
"Uh, this"
"Don't do it, there's a giant python the size of a truck."
Hearing this, the people who had experienced pain were all cold: "Who said that you were going to dig in the valley?" Wrap up this week's toilet cleaning task! ”
When the twenty heroes heard their conversation, they looked at each other and did not understand what they meant. "A truck-sized anaconda? Is it a copycat online game? I'm going to play too! ”
"Say no more, keep going!" Academician Liu called the shots.
After 2 hours of arduous trekking, we finally arrived at the goal. The trunk of this vitality tree is as thick as two people hugging each other, and the branches are lush and green. And its roots are intangled and knotted, and the roots that are only exposed on the surface are already the size of half a badminton court.
"Is it digging this tree?" The twenty arhats felt that their young minds were being ravaged by thousands of grass and mud horses galloping back and forth.
Seeing that this tree was so big, Academician Liu was also stunned: "Xiao Meng, why don't you say that this tree is so big?" Oh my God, how long are we going to dig at this volume! And how do you carry it down the mountain? ”
Hearing the captain blame himself, Team Leader Meng hurriedly explained: "Well, Captain Liu, I didn't mean not to say it, because the other 10 trees are also so big, so if you want to transplant them, it must be the most cost-effective to dig this one." As for handling, we can try it by helicopter. ”
"Well, that's all there is to it for now." Academician Liu had no choice but to make arrangements. "Don't hurt the roots, don't hurt all the parts of the tree."
"Isn't it? Can't hurt yet?"
"I was thinking about whether or not to amputate the roots of a tree so that it could dig a little faster." The Twenty Warriors muttered in their hearts.
After the task was divided, everyone "happily" dug the tree.
However, after digging for a long time.
"Academician Liu! No, this situation, I feel that the roots of this tree are getting bigger and bigger, and the roots of the tree, which originally occupied only half of the badminton court, are now about to become the size of half a basketball court. One researcher prominently commented, "At this size, at this speed, it may take a long time to dig." If you dig it for ten days and half a month, and the roots of the tree cannot touch the soil to absorb nutrients, the tree will die.
"I'm a mother, and I don't have a good plan." Academician Liu wiped his sweat in his heart and shouted, "Stop! Stop it! I won't dig today, and I'll think about it when I go back. ”
Everyone rushed over, disgraced, and defeated. Academician Liu also felt a little stupid, and couldn't help but be extremely ashamed.
When Aoki saw this scene, he felt that they were so funny and happy.
When they got back that night, all the people got together for a meeting to discuss how to dig up the tree.
"According to the road up the mountain, excavators, cranes and other things will definitely not be able to go up, so we can only use small tools to dig. But we have to dig it up quickly and carry it away, otherwise we are afraid that the tree will die. This time should be within 3-4 days. ”
"If we can't solve the problem on the equipment, we can only increase the manpower. Later, I will apply for the secondment of 80 more people, and I will get together 100 people to dig. In this case, you should be able to dig in 3-4 days. ”
"As for transporting the trees, I thought about it for a while and thought that I should call a helicopter to come and lift it empty. But after I calculated it with the computer, with the volume and density of this tree, it should weigh 20 tons, but I don't know if this helicopter can bear that heavy weight. ”
"I can answer that." At this time, the captain of the twenty fierce men raised his hand. "The Golden Eagle i138-6 helicopter (blinded), with a load of up to 25 tons, belongs to a large load-bearing helicopter developed by the state in 2021, which can meet this requirement."
Then he continued: "But it is a weapon developed in secret, so I don't know if I can apply for it." ”
The researchers looked at each other a few times and smiled. Academician Liu waved his hand and said magnificently: "As long as this thing exists, I can apply for it, haha." ”
"So the cow?! Last year, our general wanted to borrow it and try it, but none of them agreed. Can you borrow it? The twenty strong men were a little skeptical of their words.
"Also, climate and soil analysis should be done as soon as possible; The task of finding a transplant location should also be completed within these 3-4 days, and it must be ensured that the transplantation of the Vitality Tree will not be delayed. ”
"Yes!"
In the early morning of the next day, 80 "low-key macho men" with excited faces appeared in a low-key manner at the entrance of the village. Like the first twenty macho men, their hands couldn't help but tremble a little when they saw the two leopards the size of mountain bikes.
"The ancient invaded the capital!"
Seeing this, Aoki considered whether to summon the leopard back, otherwise it would be quite conspicuous to wander around the village. If it attracts the attention of someone who cares, it is always a troublesome thing.
At present, all five zoos in Xishuangbanna have been forcibly closed by the government, requiring all animals to be either released or transported to other zoos outside the province, and all zoos have been converted into botanical gardens to continue to operate.
Although this unreasonable policy was opposed by the five zoos and the majority of tourists, the government still insisted on it regardless of it.
The Xishuangbanna government itself has bitterness in its own heart, and it does not want to implement such a "broken policy", but the higher authorities force this, and as a subordinate, they cannot but obey it.
And the top leaders of the Yunbian provincial government are also very depressed, and do not understand why the central government would directly order this. But the central government has directly issued orders, and as a subordinate, can he not obey it?
At this time, guests who came to Xishuangbanna for tourism found that the zoos introduced in many travel guides are now all gone. I asked the tour guide, and the tour guide also said that all the zoos were forced to close due to food poisoning problems recently, and when they will reopen, there is no accurate answer.
Food poisoning? When did animals get treated the same as humans? ”
It is a pity that the tourists cannot see the sunbirds, zebras and other animals that they want to see.
Early the next morning, the research team took 100 macho men and trekked into the ridge again to reach their destination. After Academician Liu briefly said the precautions, he began to do hard work.
"Ahh Spider!! "When a soldier was drinking water, he suddenly saw a giant spider with a pot-sized face and a menacing face hanging strangely from a tree in front of him, and his face turned pale with fright.
"I'm %¥¥#, is this still a spider?" The soldiers followed his line of sight and saw the spider silk as thick as a pen lead, and the spider that was gnawing on a snake. Seeing such a strange thing, this group of fierce men who did not blink their eyes when they saw blood and felt that their hearts were as hard as iron were all frightened into a cold sweat, and their hands unconsciously touched their waists, trying to find out that there was no gun.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a giant bird four times larger than a spider flew out of the jungle, and its palm-sized claws gripped at the giant spider's head.
Hard! The claws pierced deep into the spider's head, and white pulp visible to the naked eye flowed out of the hole. The big bird flapped its wings and flew away, catching the spider that was still feasting on it.
"Shhhhh Everyone was in a cold sweat, and they couldn't help but think of a sentence: "Nima! What is this! ”
The researchers were different, at this time they looked at the 100 macho men with a calm face, with a look of contempt. "I don't have the strength of you, but I have a brave heart! Well, that's right, it's Brave Heart! After thinking about it, I couldn't help but raise my head and chest.
The terrifying picture just now obviously made a deep impression on this group of macho men, so in the next work, they looked up from time to time and looked around vigilantly.
However, there are some things that cannot be avoided by vigilance.
I saw that the "fragrance" of a group of macho men strongly attracted the army of locusts on the ground, and they were working tirelessly to come from all directions to welcome this group of guests full of "fragrance". They have evolved, and although they have not changed in size or increased appetite, they have become more crawling and have a more sensitive sense of smell.
They have proved with their actions that they are a great clan of grasshoppers, and it is useless to tie up their trousers tightly!
I saw that after approaching a person, they quickly climbed over their shoes and trouser legs, and climbed up like joy. In less than 10 seconds, they climbed up to the waist and then slipped through the waist of their wet jacket and into their upper body.
Then open the "bloody mouth" and suck the "fragrant" skin fiercely. "Hmm!! It's so cool! ”
Other "comrades-in-arms" followed suit.
A soldier was attacked by locusts.
2 misfortunes suffered.
3 misfortunes suffered
.
10 misfortunes suffered.
Someone finally found out that something was wrong.
"Army!! What's wrong with your back? A macho man pointed at another man in horror and shouted in horror.
"Huh?" The macho man couldn't help but reach out and touch his back, slippery, sticky, soft, and suddenly his hair was cold, "Am I dripping!" What the hell!! ”
He panicked, waving his hands and feet, constantly bouncing and jumping, and panicked.
At this moment, their captain held him down with two strong hands. "What's the panic, isn't it just a locust?" After saying that, he calmly lifted his shirt and exposed his back.
I saw six or seven grasshoppers sticking to their backs, round and full of blood.
"Gross!!" Some of the soldiers were young people who had just joined the army, and they trained very hard, but they had never seen such a terrifying picture, and they couldn't help but feel sick.
Some of the other recruits also felt cold and couldn't help but touch their backs with their hands. I didn't know if I didn't touch it, but when I touched it, I was startled, and I found that there were some weird things on my back.
"Ahh
A panicked scream sounded in the jungle, and finally it was quieted down a little under the bullet pressure of the two veteran captains.
Subsequently, the captain calmly used a lighter to dispose of the leeches one by one. "O you! It's still too tender, so I'll have to take you out to practice in the future. ”
After this incident, everyone began to be more cautious, and every few hoes, they carefully looked around to see if there was anything wrong with their body.
Some people are starting to get a little nervous breakdown!
Although the two researchers who led the team looked furious in their hearts, they were forced to be calm on the surface, but their wandering eyes betrayed them deeply.
Subsequently, Aoki drove away hundreds of snakes and brazenly "passed by" them.
Everyone swallowed: "This place is so terrible! ”
After the group of snakes, hundreds of 20cm-long centipedes passed by to "play soy sauce".
After that, hundreds of poisonous toads of different colors "floated by".
All kinds of terrifying animals passed by leisurely, and everyone's scalp was numb. One of the researchers who studied plants couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Mom! I want to go home! ”
Everyone had relatives in their hearts and didn't laugh at him.
Originally, everyone was thinking about whether to spend the night in the jungle to save time back and forth. But now, this idea has long been thrown to the edge of the universe.
Although the people wanted to go back, they would not come to this ghost place again. But the strong sense of collective honor still allows them to continue to stay here, work hard, not afraid of hardship and tiredness.
The next day, the second research team came with the news that the soil in the botanical garden was suitable for transplanting the Genki tree. Although the temperature, humidity and other conditions may not be the same as in the valley, they can be artificially changed, so there should be no big problem.
On the afternoon of the third day, after all kinds of "difficult twists and turns", all the roots of the tree were finally dug up, and the damage was not very much, and the whole tree was fixed by many cables. That night, instead of leaving, they remained in the mountains and waited for the helicopter to arrive.
In the middle of the night, a huge triple-propeller helicopter took advantage of the cover of night to come to the sky above the ridge, which was at least three times larger than an ordinary helicopter.
Domineering! Tough! Majestic!
These are the only words left in the minds of the crowd.
The clouds are flying! The leaves of the trees were swept up and fluttered in the air.
The 100 heroes below stared at the helicopter with envy, salivating, eager to climb up and touch its skin, its seats, its glass, everything about it.
The favorite of pure masters! A symbol of the iron-blooded man!
