"Brother Gun, do you think you will encounter cougars and jaguars in this way?"

Fang Hong was speechless: "First, the cougar and the jaguar are the same creature, and they are the third largest cat species on earth. Second, this is not the habitat of the cougar at all. The cougar likes warm and humid places. Maybe after crossing the Rocky Mountains, it is possible to enter the area where mountain lions live."

In front, there are giant trees one after another, each of which is as thick as an arm's length.

"This is a very strange landscape. Just one kilometer to the south, there is still a big desert, but here, there are towering giant trees. This kind of tree is called a giant sequoia, or a giant sequoia. The oldest creature recognized in the world is a A giant sequoia, the name of that tree is World God, and a road more than five meters long and three meters wide was dug out under it, which is big enough for a small car to pass through."

"Of course, this is recognized by the West. There is a super ancient pagoda tree in China. It is rumored that this tree was planted by the Yellow Emperor himself. If one day unfortunately, this tree dies, then we can almost saw the tree. It proves that the history of our civilization is indeed 5000 years."

"Damn, there are still such ancient trees?"

Fang Hong smiled: "I also know that there is a tree in the world that is older than the so-called Lord of the World... If there is a chance in the future, I can take everyone to see it."

The area where the tree is located is definitely a life-and-death adventure after entering. Fang Hong doesn't really want to go there.

"However, the Master of the World is indeed the largest living thing in the world. The growth rate of the ancient pagoda tree, even if it grows for 5 years, will not grow to a diameter of five meters."

Giant sequoia, originally the longest tree in the world, is distributed in western Nevada forests and California forests, and there are some distributions in other states, but the number is not large.

"The so-called trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them. We can easily see giant trees that have been struck by lightning or blown off by the wind here." It is blown off but not blown down. Only a certain class of giant cedars or sequoias exceeds the altitude of the forest. Too much will be broken by the wind, and a giant sequoia forest is extremely tough.

Who had a whim: "Brother Gun, you didn't bring a tent, did you climb a giant cedar to rest today?"

Fang Hong rolled his eyes: "Eureka is a master of freehand rock climbing. His limit is to climb the top of a 75-meter-high sequoia, but he didn't challenge the giant sequoia. Do you know why?" While speaking, Fang Hong Walked to a giant cedar, waved his fist, hit the surface of the tree heavily, and then tore it lightly along the cracks: "The wood of the giant cedar is very fragile, although it can still be used as furniture after processing, but the natural growth of the cedar is very fragile. , the outer wood is easily damaged, and the inner layer is also easy to hollow, climbing this is equivalent to death."

Every surrounding tree is more than two meters in diameter, and there seems to be no end in sight.

"It seems that in the movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the orangutans climb this kind of tree. In fact, they can't bear the palms and soles of orangutans to climb."

Fang Hong walked forward while explaining. It was still early, and it was not yet time to find a shelter.

I don't know when the barrage became weird.

At the very beginning, someone said: "The Giant Sequoia Forest is like a group of warriors holding hands, forever guarding this land majestically."

Someone complained that he was writing a composition for elementary school students.

So there are several versions of the depiction.

Scientist's version: "Giant sequoia forests are only distributed in the western forests of California and Nevada, and are occasionally distributed in other states. The mature ones are 80-120 meters high and have a particularly long life span. Many of them are 2000-3000 years old. .”

The poet's philosophical version: "The giant cedar has a shallow foundation, but it stands still, the mountain wind howls, and the giant cedar forest is united with the enemy, and it will last forever."

Fairy tale version: "The fir tree has a beautiful legend about the source of life - fire. The cones of the giant sequoia are hard, and it will be split by a forest fire about once every 20 years, and the seeds can fall into the thick In the ashes, absorb nutrients and wait to germinate."

Many water friends asked: "What should I say in the live version?"

Fang Hong thought about it carefully: "My Cao, these trees are so tall."

"..."

"..."

"I just like the way Brother Gun looks like he has never seen the world."

Fang Hong said contemptuously: "It's just a joke, just watch it, what's the point of describing it, how long has this show been so boring?"

"Brother Gun, I have a question for you. I am encountering a difficulty now."

"Say."

"Our company is planning to go public. Due to the shortage of funds, we are always in arrears with our wages. Recently, many colleagues who have worked for a long time have resigned, but there are a bunch of colleagues sitting in the office every day waiting to be fired and get compensation. I have not worked for a long time. , the salary is low, and I feel that I can’t support myself, what should I do?”

Fang Hong looked at his watch: "Now the capital time is three o'clock in the evening, and you are still surfing the Internet at this time, what are you talking about?"

"Anyway, I have nothing to do in the company, so I might as well go to sleep."

Fang Hong shrugged: "I haven't worked much before. I really can't answer this question. Why don't you think about the future of your company? If you think your company is a good company, you can stay. No, just leave."

Among the water friends, there are many who run the company themselves, and some have long working hours: "I think, look at the reaction of your colleagues, if a capable colleague leaves and they feel sorry, it means that your company is not bad. If they think, I Cao, you see, I finally left, it means your company sucks."

Fang Hong smiled slightly: "I judge whether a company is good or not. There is only one standard, that is, whether there is paper in the bathroom or not, and the quality of the paper."

"Even if this company is one of the top [-] companies in the country, and there is no paper in the bathroom, then such a picky company will not give you much good treatment, and it will not have your future."

"I'm sorry, Brother Gun, your theory is brilliant."

The age of vanity: "Is that so?! Hurry up tomorrow, and my company's paper will be better."

"That's right, the money you tipped Brother Gun is enough to buy a lot of toilet paper."

Fang Hong complained: "Damn, is that the way to calculate it? "Walk with Me" is a spiritual pursuit."

"Brother Gun, this forest is so big."

"This is the land of angels, with a lot of wildlife, and it has passed the Nevada border to Utah. Geographically, this is the northern part of Utah, with the land of angels to the west and Yellowstone Park to the northeast. This area is A contiguous large virgin forest."

"This should be Giant Sequoia Ridge. After crossing here, you will really enter the alpine region. Now this season, the temperature is close to zero. If we are lucky, we can find the hut left by the hunters in the forest, or simply Find the road, find the road hotel, and if you're unlucky, you'll have to walk straight through the woods and into the Utah plateau."

It is easy to imagine that it is precisely because of the barrier of this forest that this desert area has not spread. In the Utah Plateau, there is a little more rain, so a large grassland has been formed, but there are also huge pastures and sparsely populated land.Here, it is difficult to see people without walking out of the forest.

"Aw—————!"

"Wolf howl?"

Fang Hong became vigilant: "Listening to the sound, it's only a mile or two. If the wolf runs at full speed, it's only a minute."

The North American gray wolf weighs about [-] kilograms and can run [-] kilometers per hour at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour. That is to say, in the forest, the wolf's speed is almost twice that of the hurdler Liu Xiang.

"Looks like a lone wolf?"

"North American gray wolves are generally pack animals with a ferocious personality. The largest wolf pack ever found is the Druid Peak wolf pack, with a number of 35, which is very difficult to deal with."

The water friend had lingering fears, the howling of the wolf was too frightening: "Fortunately, it's a lone wolf."

"Fortunately? Do you know what kind of wolf will become a lone wolf? That is the wolf that failed to compete with the alpha wolf for status. Those who dare to challenge the alpha wolf are definitely the most majestic male wolves, and they may not have reached 1.8 kilograms , for the largest canine animal on earth, with a weight of [-] kilograms, a shoulder height of [-] centimeters, and a length of [-] meters including head and tail, it only takes one bite to break the arm of an adult male."

Wolves are scary, but the characteristic of wolves is siege, and the ability of a lone wolf to survive alone shows that the ability to hunt alone is very powerful: "If it is a lone wolf, it will be more troublesome to me than a pack of wolves!"

Fang Hong turned his head and looked in the direction of howling wolves: "Oops, I'm standing in the wind, and it found me!"
