Nowadays, it is not uncommon for large marine organisms to be stranded on the beach. Most countries and regions have a relatively complete set of procedures for dealing with such stranded large marine organisms, whether they are alive or dead.

Whale stranding is by no means a trivial matter, especially the blue whale, if it is not handled properly, it will even cause huge marine pollution to the offshore.

Lu Ao couldn't imagine that De Leon Island would let a blue whale stay on the beach.

However, there is a dead fish on the beach.

Lu Ao got out of the car and stared at the blue whale separated by the cordon.

Today's weather is not very good, the sun was out just now, and now it is cloudy and cloudy.

Cloudy weather makes the light soft, and everything will not be distorted by too bright sunlight.

The color of the blue whale is very beautiful. The light of the sky shines on it, fully revealing its gray-blue body.

From a distance, the beach, the blue whale, and the sky are a series of huge things lined up, and the blue whale does not appear to be that big. Instead, it sleeps on the beach with a long length, which looks very gentle.

Lu Ao watched, closed his eyes, and a bad emotion gripped his heart, making him feel like he didn't want to breathe.

He turned his head and asked the brown-haired man, "Fred, is it okay to keep this whale here? What if there is a whale burst?"

The skin of the blue whale is very thick, up to ten centimeters thick.

Some walls are not as thick as the skin of a blue whale.

When they die, the tough and thick skin can perfectly wrap the contents of the corpse until the inside rots and ferments, releasing more and more gas, which brings more and more pressure to the blue whale skin, and the skin is also Under the action of bacteria, it gradually becomes less flexible.

The moment the pressure of the gas breaks the toughness of the skin, the entire blue whale will suddenly burst open like a balloon that has been inflated.

When the balloon bursts, there is still gas inside, which will not cause too much harm to people.

It is not necessarily the case when the blue whale explodes. All kinds of flesh and blood decay inside will scatter in all directions at a speed of tens of kilometers per hour, attaching to all objects they can attach to, whether it is a person or a building.

In the unfortunate event of blue whale decay, the smell can linger for weeks.

Lu Ao didn't understand how the people here would have the guts to let the blue whale rot like this.

Fred laughed when he heard what he said, "Oh, please don't worry, our blue whale has been treated and put here after consulting the nearby residents. You see, when it smells bad , Its stomach is still not bulging at all, so don’t worry about gas in it.”

Lu Ao took a closer look, and it was true.

He thought that the blue whale hadn't decayed enough to release gas, so it wasn't filled with gas, but now he saw that a piece of the blue whale's belly had been removed.

"Since it has been treated, why is it still here? Wouldn't the odor and microorganisms it releases pollute the nearby environment?"

"Yes." Fred said, "We have also evaluated it before, and hesitated for nearly a week. In the end, everyone voted and decided to let this blue whale stay here."

"That's where the theme of our conservation campaign comes from," said Lyford, pointing to the blue whale.

Lu Ao remembered their theme "Looking for the Lost Whale" again, and couldn't help asking: "Is there any explanation for the source of this theme?"

"Yes." Fred said, "Actually, when this blue whale was washed ashore, we had already planned to deal with it first. We don't rely on professionals to deal with this kind of large marine life washed ashore. When it rots, the residents of the island can directly use a knife or other things to cut off the part they like."

This method, Lu Ao knows, is actually the procedure in most places.

Local residents cut off the desired parts first, and then professionals enter the site to cut and landfill the remaining parts for harmless treatment.

This greatly saves manpower and material resources, and avoids wasting resources.

He nodded, gesturing for Fred to continue.

Fred's face was a bit heavy, "At that time, some of the nearby residents wanted internal organs, so they directly opened its stomach and saw its stomach. Only then did we find out that the cause of death of this whale was actually Starved to death,"

"Shouldn't there be a lot of food in summer?" Lu Ao frowned. "Could it be that this whale ate other things, which took up the space in its stomach and couldn't eat, so it starved to death?"

When Lu Ao asked this question, he hoped to get a negative answer, but Fred nodded, "Yes."

"When we further dissected it, we found that its stomach and esophagus were full of plastic products and nylon fishing nets, and it couldn't eat anything else, so it could only starve to death."

Lu Ao didn't know what it was like.

The sea is so big and there is so much food, but this blue whale starved to death while guarding a pile of food, how desperate it must be.

When Fred said this, the smile on his face disappeared. He looked at the blue whale in a daze, and said: "It is precisely because of this that everyone is voting on whether to move the blue whale. Most people chose no, hopefully people will remember it, commemorate it."

Lu Ao knew why they chose no.

The death of the blue whale is a tragic education, much more shocking than the pictures.

Lu Ao looked at the blue whale that had started to rot, and didn't speak for a long time.

Fred waited quietly for them to watch. After a few minutes, he said: "We have made a courseware for this blue whale death incident. If you need it, I can send you a copy later. Our side If there are professionals, they can also directly attach Chinese subtitles."

"I need it very much, thank you."

"You're welcome." Fred smiled, turned his head to look at the blue whale with them, and said suddenly: "Do you know? I am very willing to bring my friends to see this blue whale during this period of time."

"Can you imagine that at the beginning, it must be said that you want to bring it over to see something good?"

"Hahaha, yes. Every time I say to them 'hey man, do you want to see something different?', most people will say yes, and can always do for these poor big guys after watching it something."

Lu Ao can understand that, in fact, the service scope of marine public welfare is mainly the following: understanding the marine environment; mitigating and preventing marine disasters; providing public services to ensure the safety of marine activities, etc.

He also participated in public welfare rescue activities before, which is also a kind of marine public welfare.

Compared with intense rescue missions, in most cases, marine public welfare mainly focuses on the promotion of marine knowledge, especially on activities to promote marine knowledge for young people, so that young people can receive correct guidance.

Lu Ao saw that the blue whale was concentrating, and suddenly his backpack moved.

He subconsciously adjusted his posture and held the backpack more firmly.

Song Zhou also heard the movement, turned his body sideways to block part of the movement, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know, it's restless."

As they talked, Fred was still talking about the experience of his marine conservation volunteers preparing lessons for teenagers.

Halfway through the conversation, he found that both of them turned their attention back to their backpacks, and couldn't help wondering, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Yes." Lu Ao felt that the movement inside the egg was getting louder, and raised his head and said anxiously, "There was an accident on our side, I'm afraid we have to go back early."

"What? Need help?" Fred subconsciously leaned over to look, "Are you your little pets?"

"Almost." Lu Ao looked up at their car parked not far away, thinking that this is not a pet, but a son.

Song Zhou said: "I'll go and drive first."

Lu Ao nodded, arching his arms to block Fred's sight, "I'll go to the side of the road first."

The two spoke in Chinese, and Fred didn't understand. He was watching their interaction in a daze, "Is it serious? I can introduce you to a pet doctor."

"No need for now, thank you." Lu Ao said, "It's just that we have to go back to the hotel first."

"It's okay, the blue whale is here, you can come and see it tomorrow."

Lu Ao reluctantly nodded, raised his feet and hurried to the side of the road.

Unexpectedly, before taking two steps, there was a click in the backpack.

The sound reached Lu Ao's ears, causing a huge shock.

His face changed slightly. He didn't expect that he didn't encounter a whale explosion today, but the egg in his backpack was cracked.

Inside the egg is the son!

Lu Ao couldn't tell whether the little dragon inside had broken its shell or accidentally broken the egg.

The latter is much more dangerous. If the egg is accidentally broken, the little dragon inside will probably not survive.

Even if the shell is broken normally, the little life inside may not be able to survive successfully.

Lu Ao raised geese. He knew that when many goslings were born, even if they pecked through the eggshells, they would be too weak to break free from the eggshells, and would eventually suffocate to death.

In this case, even if humans help peel off the eggshells, they will not survive.

The more Lu Ao thought about it, the more frightened he became. When the last few steps were left, he ran with his backpack in his arms. Before the Songzhou car stopped, he pulled the door and got in. "Quick, let's go back first!"

Song Zhou looked over, "How's the situation inside the egg?"

"Not too clear." Lu Ao nervously put the backpack on his lap, carefully opened the backpack and looked inside, "Now the egg is cracked, and there are cracks all around the gap, but the opening is not visible."

As Lu Ao said, he touched the egg lightly.

The egg in the backpack did not know when it became hard again, instead of the warm and tough touch.

"What now? We just sit around and wait?"

"Go back to the hotel first." Song Zhou comforted, "Don't be too nervous for the time being, the little guy is in good condition."

At a loss, Lu Ao finally came to his senses, and carefully sensed the situation inside the dragon's egg.

The situation inside is indeed okay, and the vitality is very abundant.

Just when he sensed it, the whole egg shook, and the shaking was very large, like a little dragon struggling.

Lu Ao carefully placed his fingertips on the eggshell, hoping to give some encouragement to the little dragon inside.

Through the thick eggshell, Lu Ao could feel a touch of warmth from his fingertips, as if the little dragon inside felt his touch, so he changed direction and rubbed his body against his fingertips.

Lu Ao's heart softened so much that he didn't know what to say, and felt that even his fingertips softened a little.

He retracted his fingers and rubbed his fingertips, feeling at a loss, "This little guy is so sharp."

Song Zhou said: "I'll take a look at the hotel when I get to the hotel."

Just as Lu Ao was about to nod, the little dragon in the dragon's egg seemed to sense the departure of his hand, and suddenly let out a "beep".

The voice was thin and weak, coming out of the nasal cavity, passing through the thick dragon eggs, and directly reaching the ears of Lu Ao and Song Zhou.

When the two heard the voice, they were both shocked, and looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

They are really going to be dads!
