Super Zoo

For a week, Su Ming devoted himself almost wholeheartedly to treating the finless porpoise. He said he would treat the finless porpoise three times a day for an hour. In fact, he spent almost all day in the treatment room from morning to night, staying with the finless porpoise. .

The finless porpoise recovered much faster than anyone expected. By Saturday, it was almost fully recovered, but for safety reasons, it would still have to be observed for a few days.

Therefore, Su Ming had some free time today and took the two little guys out on the lake.

After the arrival of the finless porpoise and those big fish, the number of tourists showed a spurt of growth. Although the cruise ship business was suspended, the feed business was extremely popular, because most of the feed was marine fish, which could not only be fed to ordinary domestic fish , small finless porpoises also like to eat. Occasionally, if you are lucky, you can even lead to those giant fish weighing more than a pound, which makes tourists exclaim.

In the past few days, tons of feed have been sold every day, and the income has made up for the losses of the cruise ship. In just one week, the three nurses at the health center and Master Peng and the others who sold feed have made a lot of money. It’s just as much as one month’s salary.

When Su Ming entered the treatment room, Liang Shi was holding a notebook, observing the giant finless porpoise and recording something in preparation for his graduation thesis.

Seeing Su Ming coming, Liang Shi quickly put down his notebook and said hello: "Brother Su, you are here!"

Su Ming nodded and touched the big finless porpoise's head. The big finless porpoise immediately turned over and twisted its belly toward Su Ming in a coquettish manner.

"How is your recovery?" Su Ming half asked the finless porpoise, half asked Liang Shi.

"Yes, that's good. We can stop taking the medicine completely tomorrow. Teacher Tang is writing a summary report for me."

"What about your thesis? This time there are three finless porpoises for you to use as material. There should be no problem, right?" Su Ming asked with a smile.

Liang Shi scratched his head and smiled naively: "There should be no problem. Many old experts in China who specialize in finless porpoise research do not have such an opportunity. I am lucky this time, thanks to you, Teacher Tang and Brother Su. Say. Get up, this time has caused trouble to Brother Su and delayed your business. After it is weaned off the medicine, Mr. Tang will arrange to transport it to the provincial capital and raise it with those Baiji dolphins. "

"What, you want to transport it away?" Su Ming frowned slightly.

"Yes." Liang Shi said matter-of-factly: "We can't keep it in the Shuijun Lake."

"Why not?" Su Ming pointed to the water outside and said, "This water area is large enough and the water quality is good. There is no problem in raising a few of them."

Liang Shi shook his head: "The equipment conditions in Yangchuan City are relatively poor. There is a large conservation center in the provincial capital with complete facilities and personnel. Generally, if endangered or injured aquatic creatures are found, they will be sent to the conservation center in the provincial capital. In the future, they will be raised The breeding and release training are also done by the provincial capital.”

Hearing what Liang Shi said, Su Ming was a little annoyed. I had been busy for a long time, but ended up making wedding clothes for others?

Liang Shi saw Su Ming's face darken, and he couldn't say anything. He was just a student. It was not his turn to make the decision on such a big matter. Even if he wanted to help, he couldn't do anything.

"Don't get me wrong, this matter has nothing to do with you, you are busy with your business."

Seeing that Liang Shi didn't look good, Su Ming waved his hand at him, indicating that he shouldn't feel guilty or anything about it, then turned around and left the treatment room, heading straight to Principal Song's office.

I briefly explained the situation to Director Song. After hearing this, Director Song also smiled bitterly.

"Do you think I don't want to keep the finless porpoise in the zoo? Are you kidding me? I can't ask for it! Our zoo doesn't have many national first-class protected animals, and even fewer aquatic creatures. Look, there's not even a small aquarium! If we can keep three finless porpoises, it will definitely help the development of our zoo!”

"Then can you mention it to the superiors and leave the finless porpoise here?" Su Ming carried the water bottle and filled the cup in front of Director Song.

Director Song picked up the cup and took a sip of water before continuing: "It's useless! You may not know about some situations. Yangchuan City and the provincial capital are both top cities in our province, because the provincial capital is at the administrative level. , higher than Yangchuan City, so it has always been faintly suppressing Yangchuan City. As for Yangchuan City, in fact, it does not buy the account of the provincial capital. The two sides have been fighting openly and covertly in all aspects, including the ownership of the finless porpoise this time. ”

"The finless porpoise was found in Huating Reservoir, and it must belong to Yangchuan City!" Su Ming said.

"You say that, but there are other opinions in the provincial capital. Huating Reservoir is connected to the Yangtze River. These finless porpoises obviously swam into the reservoir from the Yangtze River when the gates were opened. Why do you say they must be from Yangchuan City? Besides, Well, finless porpoise is the common wealth of China and even the earth. It is not owned by one place or city. If you take off this big hat, what do you say?" Song Laoyuan has probably experienced this kind of thing many times, and his tone is a little angry.

"Damn it, they know how to slap the blame, but the leaders of Yangchuan City won't!" Su Ming said cursingly.

Director Song smiled bitterly: "Just from the perspective of protecting the finless porpoise itself, we can't compare with the provincial capital. The hardware and software of the protection center in the provincial capital far exceed any animal protection institution in Yangchuan City, and it is the best in the country. Where are the finless porpoises? They can receive better care. Also, Liang Shi told you, it is common practice for endangered animals to be sent to the provincial capital protection center.”

Director Song sighed: "With so many reasons accumulated, it is a foregone conclusion that the finless porpoise will be sent to the provincial capital..."

"Director Wang doesn't care..." Su Ming said angrily. After all, this was one of Wang Jianshe's political achievements. Why would he be willing to give it to others for nothing?

Director Song shook his head, lowered his voice slightly, and said, "Actually, if you observe carefully, you should be able to find some signs. For example, the leader of the special team this time is Director Wang of our Yangchuan City, but he started from scratch In the end, they only showed up two or three times, and they didn’t ask too much about the group’s affairs. On the contrary, Professor Chu from the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, as the deputy leader, and his students were actually in charge of the group’s work. You. Think about why."

Su Ming originally thought that this was because Professor Chu was a professional, but when Director Song said this, Su Ming pondered for a moment and suddenly realized.

"Oh, I understand. The Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences is in the provincial capital, and the protection center is also in charge of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Director Wang has long known that even if the finless porpoise is found, it will eventually be sent to the provincial capital. We can't say that there is no such thing here in Yangchuan City But the lion’s share of the credit and the various subsequent benefits brought by the finless porpoise actually belong to the provincial capital, so he doesn’t bother to worry too much about this matter, just go through the motions and deal with it.”

Director Song nodded: "Actually, Lao Chu and the others, like me, are scholars at heart, and they still have a love for protecting animals. They may not think so much, but in fact, it is what you said! Do you want to I think you, me, Director Wang, and even the city all hope that the finless porpoise can stay in Yangchuan City. It is an animal even rarer than the giant panda. If it is done well, it might become a major feature of Yangchuan City. However, no one took the initiative to bring it up. Why, everyone knows that even if it is brought up, it cannot be done! "

"So, there is nothing we can do? If it doesn't work, what about keeping the two little finless porpoises?" Su Ming asked.

"That's even more impossible." Director Song shook his head helplessly: "Xiao Su, don't think too much. No matter what, even if the finless porpoise is sent away, your contribution cannot be erased."
