space fisherman

Shangjing, Xu family.

I saw that the old friend finally calmed down.

Only then did Mr. Xu slowly speak:
“I know what you want to say, Xiao Lu can’t move.

His current affairs are very important, and we cannot send him away."

Mr. Xu explained when he saw that the old fellow opposite him had finally calmed down.

"Then...then why do you object to me using Azure Dragon?"

Zhao Dahu still asked in confusion.

“In this matter, if you use Azure Dragon, you will indirectly declare war on those teams. This time they can unite to deal with Falcon and the others.

There is a way to unite and deal with Qinglong.

If the Azure Dragon is damaged, neither you nor I can afford it."

Mr. Xu shook his head and said.

The words that were spoken made Zhao Dahu, a weathered old man, suddenly feel powerless.

Yes, if anything happened to Qinglong, it would be a huge blow to China.

In Lv Wei (the mysterious instructor Ye Yuan had met at Xu's home).
When you are unable to take action, Qinglong is your last resort.

"What is Ye Yuan doing now?"

Mr. Xu's sudden question left Zhao Dahu a little unresponsive.

"What do you think that kid is doing? Do you still want him to solve this matter?"

"Haha, you really don't know that guy."

The corners of Mr. Xu’s mouth turned up.

"You think too highly of that guy, don't you?
This time, even the three of them suffered heavy losses when they joined forces. I think it’s better for Ye Yuan to just forget about it.

We finally found a good candidate who can conquer the sea, and I don't want him to die in vain."

Zhao Dahu still didn't think Ye Yuan could solve the current difficulties.

For his protection.

I don't think sending Ye Yuan is the solution.

"I didn't tell him to solve it. I just asked him what he was doing now."

Mr. Xu rolled his eyes at his old friend and said unhappily.

"Just look at your cunning mind and your butt, and I know what you are going to do."

There were no outsiders here, so Mr. Zhao was not so polite when he spoke.

"So what do you think I want to do?"

Mr. Xu asked with interest.

"Don't you want the little guy to explore the way?
I want to use his ability in the water to help us check what's going on over there!"

Zhao Dahu said as a matter of course.

"You know, but why don't you do it?"

"I'm not your subordinate, and you still want to order me around?"

Zhao Dahu glared with an expression that said, "I'm not going, what can you do to me?"

Staring at each other.

“I have contacted Ye Yuan, but the little guy is now at the ranch in Country M.

so...."

"So you just gave up? You know, it was the falcon that went missing this time.

time is life.

If something unexpected really happened.

Won’t your heart ache?”

Zhao Dahu continued to insist.

"Where do all those witty remarks come from? I advise you to spend less time on the Internet. At your age, health preservation is the key."

Mr. Xu ignored Mr. Zhao's attitude towards him.

Instead he said it jokingly.

"Stop talking nonsense. The rescue team has already set out, but in that kind of sea area, I still hope that Ye kid can go over there.

I don’t know why, but with that guy around, I feel at ease.”

Mr. Zhao drank the already lukewarm tea in front of him in one gulp.

Then he said somewhat frustratedly.

"Okay, that guy is not an honest guy either, he might cause us some trouble again.

That place is not China, so let it go unless it is absolutely necessary."

Mr. Xu also smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Regarding Ye Yuan's knife.

In his opinion, it is sharp, but it is also easy to hurt oneself.

Therefore, Mr. Xu did not recommend Ye Yuan to get involved in many overseas affairs.

. . . . . .

Kos Ranch.

"Ah Qiu~~~!"

Ye Yuan got up early in the morning.

Suddenly I sneezed.

He didn't know that at this moment, he was being thought of by two old men thousands of miles away.

It’s even more impossible to imagine.

There are so many surprises in the Mariana Sea.

"Owner!"

Ye Yuan pushed open the door and saw Nata adjusting to her body on the lawn.

"How is it? How are you adapting?"

I saw no outsiders were around.

Ye Yuan did not lower his voice intentionally.

With his current mental strength.

It is entirely possible to predict some of the dangers around you.

Not to mention a few ordinary cowboys.

Trying to avoid Ye Yuan's perception.

That is absolutely impossible.

"Very good. I have fully adapted when I woke up this morning."

Nata smiled sweetly.

It can be seen that she was a very cheerful girl before.

Just because of the things I experienced that are too hard to look back on.

That's why my personality becomes cold.

Fortunately, Ye Yuan awakened his mental power.

So my personality gradually changed back to normal.

"By the way, Master, I have a gift for you!"

Nata said as if she suddenly thought of something.

"Oh? You have a gift? Why are you taking it out now?"

Ye Yuan was also curious.

I have been here for a few days.

Logically speaking, if Nata wanted to give herself a gift.

It should have been taken out long ago.

Why did you say it only now?

"I was busy treating my illness and adjusting to my new body some time ago, and forgot about this matter for a while."

Nata said embarrassedly.

"Haha, okay, then take it out and show it to me!"

Ye Yuan smiled and shook his head.

It will take him some time to adapt to Nata, a girl who is quiet but also a little naughty.

"I can't take out the gift. You have to come with me."

Nata stuck out her tongue playfully, which made Ye Yuan laugh.

Two men drove up to the stable.

"Are you going to give me a horse?
Don't forget that all of this belongs to me. You take my things and give them to me?
You're really good at calculating, huh?"

Ye Yuan made a joke.

But I didn't take this matter to heart.

“It’s different. I bought this horse not long ago.

He is very different.

If he could be cured, I believe he would be a very good racehorse."

Ye Yuan heard something wrong from Nata's words.

"You mean, there's something wrong with these racehorses? They need treatment?"

Ye Yuan asked curiously.

“Yes, I hesitated for a long time after I learned about this situation.

But thinking of your miraculous side, I finally made up my mind to buy this poor little guy back."

Nata nodded, her expression extremely serious.

The two men walked into the stable while talking.

At an independent horse position at the deepest part, Ye Yuan finally saw the top racehorse that Nata had mentioned.

This is a young pony.

His whole body is maroon in color, and the parts of his four hooves that are upwards are covered with snow-white fur, making him look particularly eye-catching.

However, Ye Yuan only needed to use his senses to scan for a moment and he could see the physical problems of the foal.

This little guy was born with osteoporosis.

No wonder the little guy kept lying there and refused to get up.

It turns out that this is a congenital disease.

"Master, can you cure it?"

Nata asked cautiously.

Nata's words made Ye Yuan fall into deep thought.

In theory, the fountain of life does have a certain effect on improving bone mass.

But when it comes to horses that are born with osteoporosis, it's hard for him to say.

"Master, you must find a way. Do you know who its father is?"

Nata's words aroused Ye Yuan's interest.

Could it be that this little fellow comes from some famous family?
"Oh? Tell me."

Although Ye Yuan knew nine out of ten things about horse racing, there was only one thing he didn't understand.

But this did not stop him from being curious about the little guy's origins.

"Route! Legendary Horse King!"

Even someone who has some knowledge of horse racing.

When hearing Nata's words, everyone will be extremely surprised.

Unfortunately, she was facing Ye Yuan, a guy who knew nothing.

Therefore, Ye Yuan had no idea what the route was.

Nata noticed it too.

This master of mine really knows nothing.

Even the horse that is known as the legendary horse king in the horse racing world.

It seems like no one has ever heard of it.

Nata did not show any disdain, after all, she was her master.

Deep down, she couldn't have any disrespectful thoughts towards Ye Yuan.

So he patiently gave Ye Yuan some scientific knowledge.

Under Nata's detailed explanation.

Ye Yuan finally realized how awesome this little guy's father was.

Flightline.

The best racehorse in the world is "Route"

With its outstanding racing performance and extremely high scores, “Route” topped the list in many selections and rankings.

It was born in 2018 and its father is the famous stallion "Tapit".

The dam is Grade 1 winner Feathered.

Although he missed the 2021 M Country Triple Crown due to injuries in his early years.

But the subsequent performance of "Route" proved that it can win the championship once it appears.

Its career record is 6 wins and 6 championships.

Four of those were Grade 4 winners.

He retired with honor after winning the Breeders' Cup Classic, the highest prize money in the United States.

The breeding fee for the first season of 2023 is as high as 50 meters.

At the November auction in Kiran, M country, 11% of the shares of "Route" were sold for US$2.5 million.

This means that his value has reached more than 1.84 million euros, once again proving his legendary status in the horse racing world.

After listening to Nata's story.

Ye Yuan exclaimed, "What a good fellow."

I've long known that horse racing makes money.

I also know that the price of racehorses is always high.

But Ye Yuan never expected it.

A racehorse could be worth nearly 2 million euros.

What is this concept?
The annual income of all fishermen in Pinghai County cannot even buy a horse?

Of course, this does not include Ye Yuan himself.

Otherwise, no matter how expensive it is, Ye Yuan can afford it.

Don't forget that Ye Yuan owns a research institute with an investment of 10 billion yuan.

But even so, Ye Yuan was shocked by the value of the racehorse.

He emptied out all his cash to build the research institute.

The result is just the value of a racehorse.

This made him a little bit unbelievable for a while.

When I looked at the foal again.

My eyes are full of light.

This is the offspring of a racehorse worth 2 million.

If he is really cured, maybe he can continue his father's glorious record.

No, it’s not about continuation, it’s about certainty.

Because Ye Yuan had just thought of a way to treat the little guy.

The fountain of life water may not necessarily cure osteoporosis.

But he had something in his hand that was more effective for bones than the fountain of life.

That was the black fruit that awakened Lana's power.

Ye Yuan remembered it clearly.

Lana when she awakens her powers.

The first thing that changed after eating the black fruit was the strength of her bones.

Therefore, Ye Yuan was confident that once the foal was given the black fruit.

Ye Yuan finally understood why Nata said that this horse was bought from a shop.

This foal suffers from congenital osteoporosis.

The moment it is born, its fate for life is almost determined.

That is euthanasia.

There is no way around it. Any racehorse with bone problems will end up like this.

Doesn’t it sound particularly cruel?
According to statistics from the M Country Horse Injury Database.

In 2018, 493 thoroughbred racehorses died in Country M, with the disease with the highest mortality rate being limb injuries.

Broken bones are not considered a major disease for humans.

But it is an incurable disease for horses.

Because the skinny horse legs are almost skin and bones, with very little muscle and soft tissue.

Moreover, during the process of evolution, horses reduced the density of leg bones in order to increase running speed.

This means that once a horse's leg is broken, the bone will pierce the skin and become a comminuted open fracture, which is difficult to heal.

An adult racehorse weighs about 1000 kilograms, with each of its four legs bearing 250 kilograms of weight.

All the weight of a horse's leg is concentrated on a triangular bone at the base of the leg called the hoof.

After a horse breaks its leg, the injured leg should be given a brace or auxiliary prosthesis.

The hooves in the other three legs naturally compensate for more of the body weight.

In this way, one hoof bone has to bear more than 300 kilograms of weight.

The edges of the hoof bones are sharper, and the greater pressure will compress the hoof under the hoof bones, causing the horse to suffer from laminitis.

Laminitis is a disease that is equivalent to a stronger version of plantar fasciitis in humans, and horses will feel pain when standing.

The pain is worse when you move around.

The scary thing is that this disease can only be alleviated but not cured.

In order to reduce the pressure on the horse's legs, experts designed the sports rehabilitation device shown above.

The horse is supported and fixed after surgery.

However, long-term use of this device can cause horses to suffer from pressure sores, which is a lack of blood flow that leads to tissue ulceration and necrosis, and it will eventually be difficult to avoid laminitis.

Many racehorse owners do not want to see their horses suffer from this disease for life and choose to euthanize them.

Some people may ask, since you can’t stand, why can’t you lie down and recuperate?

But in most cases, horses will sleep standing up and remain highly alert.

Only occasionally will he lie down to sleep in a familiar environment.

But remaining in a recumbent position for long periods of time can be fatal to a horse.

When a horse lies down, one side of its lung is completely squeezed by its internal organs, which hinders blood circulation and prevents the chest cavity from fully opening, making it prone to suffocation.

The small intestine of an adult horse is 20 meters long and the large intestine is 7 meters long, which contains two 180-degree bends with a very small area for passing through.

If you lie down for a long time, food will get stuck in your intestines, causing abdominal colic and intestinal infarction, which can easily be life-threatening.

If the foal in front of her was not a minor, I believe Nata would not have bought it back even if its father was a flight line, right?

Because it might have died of illness before it even got to me.

So for the horses.

A broken bone can neither allow you to stand nor lie down.

And the cost of postoperative rehabilitation is also a huge expense, so the horse had no choice but to be euthanized by injection. (End of this chapter)
