One step closer to reality every day

Chapter 272 Failed to make friends
Different from its mighty body, this "ang ying" is too delicate, and it is easy to misunderstand that it is acting like a baby.

However, in fact, it is not.

Although there was still no obvious expression on that face, Feng Yi judged from the emotional information it emitted, it seemed to be a little frightened and a little wronged.

Rolled around and sat on the ground, the hair was still stained with bamboo leaves and miscellaneous debris.

To be honest, this appearance is really cute, and the cry just now was also cute, but the three Captain Wen who were present did not relax at all.

It rolled down the slope, and the distance between the two sides was a little closer.

this distance...

Captain Wen weighed it in his mind.

If the beast came any closer, they would have to retreat.

Different from the nervousness of the other three people, Feng Yi saw it staring at this side, thinking in his heart:

Was the message sent just now wrong?
No, I'm going to try again!
Getting ready, Feng Yi tried to send the second wave of information material, and once again conducted silent communication across species.

come on!

Feng Yi: 【My Friendship】

A gust of wind blows through the bamboo forest, and pieces of bamboo leaves fall.

The invisible information substance, carrying the consciousness and emotion of the subject, pounces on the target creature.

Not far away, the muscular body that accurately received the information material slowly climbed up.

He looked at Feng Yi, then twisted his fluffy and round buttocks, turned his footsteps, and trotted away in another direction.

After getting some distance away, he slowed down, looked back at Feng Yi again, and continued to walk slowly in the bamboo forest.Go around them and head to the other side of the bamboo forest.

But after walking for a while, he just took a look at Feng Yi, quite defensive.

This bamboo forest is relatively large, so it is not necessary to eat here.

It can go to the other side for food.

Feng Yi, who looked at the back of the other party going away: "..."

Is the message really wrong?
Should not be ah.

That's what Ancestral DNA teaches!

What the editorial information conveys is indeed "peaceful" and "friendly", that's right!
Feng Yi frowned and thought hard.

Or maybe, there is another possibility.

The species span is too large, so that the information cannot achieve the effect it should have?
Hmm, more to try.

The general direction should be correct, but the "words" used in the expression of information may be too straightforward. The span of species makes this straightforward expression unreliable and cannot achieve the expected effect.

The message should be expressed more tactfully.

But in front of other people, Feng Yi didn't want to try too much.

It can be fooled once or twice, but it is easy to reveal the truth if there are too many times.The FBA folks aren't that stupid.

You still have to find an opportunity. When there is no outsider interference, let go of your hands and try a little more, maybe you can find the trick.

I have been restricted all the time, how can I master the skills proficiently? !
It's like a child learning to speak. You have to talk more, speak out, and express more to learn!

Feng Yi had already made a plan, turned around and looked at Captain Wen and the others:
"Keep recording, that bear, I'll just keep an eye on it."

Captain Wen and the others relaxed their tense nerves only after the giant panda had gone away.

As for the giant panda looking this way from time to time... The three of them stood relatively close to Feng Yi, and the bear's eyes were not obvious under the background of the big dark circles, so it was difficult to identify where the bear was just now. to see who.

The crisis is temporarily lifted, and it is really funny to think back to the scene just now.

Wild giant pandas are also a little naive.

But they will not underestimate this creature because of this.

The next time they meet a giant panda, they will still take it seriously.

Asking the other two teammates to continue to record the bamboo forest, Captain Wen looked at Feng Yi.

This time there was more surprise in his eyes.

It's really like what Lao Yuan told him, Feng Yi has an extremely keen perception of animals, and if he says it's okay, he's really fine.

coincidence?

There are so many coincidences among the experts certified by the Federal Insurance Agency and those who were exceptionally included in the expert committee?

Strength is stronger than luck.

Besides, Captain Wen carefully recalled the scene just now.

For a certain moment, he had a strange feeling that made his scalp tingle, but it didn't seem like he sensed danger.

But only for that moment.

After that everything went back to normal.

The giant panda rolled down from the top just now, maybe it didn't pay attention to its feet, or maybe the strangeness at that moment just now was not an illusion, and the bear felt it too.

Could it be some strange magnetic field?

To be the captain of the inspection team must have a much sharper perception of abnormalities than ordinary people.

It's just that I couldn't find the answer for a while, and Captain Wen took samples here to make more detailed records.

"When the time comes, take it back and analyze it to see if you can find any clues or answers." Captain Wen thought to himself.

A little farther away, the giant panda has found a place to eat bamboo on the other side of the bamboo forest, sitting there like a retired man, and began to eat today.

It spends more than ten hours a day eating, so it can't waste time on unimportant things.

Captain Wen adjusted the camera, zoomed in, and observed the stocky body for a while.

It is the feeding point chosen by giant pandas, and it is indeed a place with better quality bamboo shoots.

The organisms that live here have their own foraging strategies.

Among the sympatrically distributed species, wild boars, takins, black bears, and some birds and insects all have the behavior of eating bamboo shoots during the shoot period.

Among them, wild boars eat the most bamboo shoots that giant pandas like.

Only when giant pandas maintain a high foraging efficiency can they coexist competitively with wild boars when food resources are abundant.

But if the food resources are not abundant, that's another story.

The competition of nature is always cruel.

After making an incomplete record of this bamboo forest, Captain Wen led the people away.

When Feng Yi and the others left, it pursed its lips, looked this way while eating.

Wait for Feng Yi and the others to leave.

It just adjusted a more comfortable posture, enjoying today's food in a relaxed manner.

[I have no other desires except to eat]

After Feng Yi entered the mountains and forests, he failed to make friends across species for the first time.

After that, the four members of the mission team continued on their way.

Finally reached the first target bamboo forest site.

Captain Wen looked at the blooming and decadent bamboo forest in front of him, with a serious expression on his face.

Without further ado, let the teammates start taking notes.

Feng Yi is in charge of vigilance.

Along the way, Feng Yi's vigilance ability has already convinced the three teammates.

From a snake hiding in a crevice of a rock to an insect behind a leaf, nothing escapes his detection.

With such a teammate around, the three members of the inspection team can do their jobs with peace of mind.

Feng Yi didn't find a danger signal nearby, so he turned his gaze back to those flowering bamboos.

It is not a particularly rare thing for bamboo to bloom. This kind of information can be found every year across the country, some in rural backyards, some in parks, or scenic spots, protected areas, and deep mountains and wild forests.

Some species bloom every year, or every few years.

And some species bloom only once in decades or even hundreds of years, and end after blooming.

The bamboo that giant pandas like to eat belongs to the latter kind. It blooms once every few decades or hundreds of years, and most of them will die after blooming.

There are many hypotheses about the reasons for bamboo flowering, such as cycle theory, environment theory, nutrition theory, aging and rejuvenation theory, growth regulating substance theory and so on.

But every research has some contradictions and inconsistencies, and there are always unexplainable phenomena.

For example, the cycle recognized by many people says——

In the growth cycle, the physiological development from quantitative change to qualitative change, until the process of aging.

Bamboos appear to be individual on the ground, but in fact, they are all connected to one stem underground.

The underground stem of bamboo, also called the bamboo whip system, is equivalent to the "main stem" of the bamboo plant.The bamboo stalks on the ground are equivalent to the branches of the "main stem".

When the rhizome system develops to a certain stage and approaches the end of senescence, all the bamboos connected to this system may bloom at the same time.

That is to say, the phenomenon of blooming in pieces.

However, there is also evidence to refute this statement of periodic flowering. For example, some bamboo forests for bamboo shoots also have sporadic flowering.

Feng Yi looked at the flowering bamboo forest, but he didn't know how long they had been here.

It is not easy to study bamboo.

Bamboo is perennial and has a long life cycle. Obviously, there are too many difficulties and inconveniences if you want to keep continuous observation records.

Live longer than them?

A bamboo stalk grows from the underground whip system and may survive for more than ten years after being unearthed, but this is not the true systematic age of bamboo, it depends on the underground stem.

Its true age may be five or sixty years, or even hundreds of years.

If it is more than 100 years old bamboo, Feng Yi is quite envious.

Thinking that he might not be able to survive his aunt, Feng Yi only felt that the atmosphere in the bamboo forest was even more bleak.

He raised his hand and plucked the nearby bamboo flowers.

Captain Wen and the others who were taking notes didn't know the sadness in Feng Yi's heart.

When many people see the bamboo forest blooming, they can't help but wonder, will the large bamboo flowers cause the giant panda to starve to death?

The survival of this bear is not threatened, depending on whether there are more than two kinds of bamboo available for it to eat locally.

The feeding behavior of giant pandas is not static.

Therefore, when the bamboo forest blooms, there must be negative effects, but whether it will be a disaster is another matter.

And whether the blooming of large bamboo forests will bring ecological disasters is the task of other researchers, not Captain Wen's.

What Captain Wen is concerned about is that several large bamboo forests in the mountains are blooming this year. Is it related to the small fluctuations in the climate this year?
Environmental changes may induce bamboo flowering, such as drought, or other extreme weather.

When the climate was abnormal, there were large areas of bamboo forests blooming, and some of the bamboo forests that had not yet reached their original lifespan also bloomed ahead of schedule.

The bamboo forest here, if it is the natural end of its life, that's fine.

But if it is caused by climate and environmental factors, it must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Animals and plants are always sensitive to changes in climate, so they have to investigate every change that may be abnormal or ordinary.

This year is another small climate fluctuation, which has to be taken seriously, and they have to take it seriously.

Captain Wen recorded and tested this flowering bamboo forest with a heavy heart.

After a while, Captain Wen completed a record, raised his eyes lightly, scanned around, and landed on Feng Yi.

Feng Yi is looking at the bamboo flower, looking at it very seriously, and getting very close, if he guesses correctly, Feng Yi will chew on it in the next moment.

Exhaling slowly, Captain Wen averted his eyes lightly and continued to work.

Forget it, let him go.

I can't control it.

#Genius' Alternative Behavior#
Another moment.

Captain Wen packed his tools and prepared to go to another place to record.

Get up and move your hands and feet, and look towards Feng Yi.

Feng Yi was chewing on something carefully.

"What did you taste?" Captain Wen said calmly, with a calm look on his face.

Feng Yi felt it carefully again, and then replied: "They should just have reached the end of their lifespan, and have nothing to do with small fluctuations in the climate."

Captain Wen nodded and went to another place to record without saying anything.

But before proceeding to the next step, he wrote down what Feng Yi said just now in the notebook.

Old Yuan said that Feng Yi's intuition is very accurate and can be used as a reference.

Although there is no real and strong evidence, but it is only used as a reference, as a psychological comfort, it is not bad.

Thinking of what Lao Yuan had said to him in private, Captain Wen felt a little relieved when he heard what Feng Yi said just now.

I hope it is as Feng Yi said.

After measuring this position, the four got up and went to the next one.

Feng Yi adapted well to the mountain climate that is not friendly to ordinary people, and he did not feel tired or uncomfortable after a few days.

Following Captain Wen's journey, Feng Yi was also taking notes seriously.

Especially about infrared camera monitoring.

In order to grasp the activities of wild animals in this forest, some research institutions will place infrared cameras in selected areas.

For example, in the area where Feng Yi is now, Captain Wen said that in this area, the cameras are deployed according to the grid sampling method of kilometers, and the cameras are deployed every 50 to 100 meters above sea level.There are detailed records of how many units are deployed per square kilometer.

Some cameras are fixed on tree trunks, and the installation height is more than one meter above the ground, while others are close to the ground, so it is difficult to find without deliberately looking for them.

Although Feng Yi has other methods to search for the camera, he will also carefully record the information Captain Wen said.

In the area where Feng Yi and the others are at this time, there are a total of twelve infrared sensing cameras placed.

Photo video data is collected every few months, or the camera is recycled.

When Captain Wen and the others entered the mountain, they would collect data by the way as they passed by the deployment points along the road.

The people of the UNPA have complete information, and they are very clear about the layout areas passing by on the route and where there are cameras.

But not every place will be equipped with cameras. In this mountain range, there are still many places that are difficult to monitor for various reasons.

Feng Yi is very active in recording such information——

I want to write down these secretly, and when the task is over, I will go into the mountains alone to be a prodigal son~~
　See you tonight.
