Every day is one step closer to reality

The zoo provided this green anaconda with a glass room with three sides of glass, which is quite strong and transparent.

The other wall is in wood and stone style, with various natural decorations.

There is a small pool inside, which has its own circulation and purification function. Water is constantly flowing out from the gaps in the stones and falling into the pool.

The glass room is transparent on three sides, allowing people to see its activities inside more clearly.

Of course, Steve could clearly be seen in the pool at this time.

Considering the impact of the show, Steve didn't reveal too much. He was wearing a set of clothes provided by the show, and the clothes and pants all had the show's prints.

There were two cans of drinks placed on a stone behind him. They were new products from Wu Huan's company. As one of the sponsors of the show, Wu Huan was able to seize the opportunity.

However, the two cans of drinks were not opened to avoid contaminating the pool. They were just placed here for background advertising.

Probably already familiar with Steve's scent, the huge green anaconda didn't pay much attention to him, but swam slowly in the water to get to know this new territory.

Steve actually enjoyed this harmonious time together.

Seeing Feng Yi standing there motionless, Steve waved and urged, his voice rippling, "Come on~~"

Feng Yi said expressionlessly: "No, you can enjoy it alone!"

Seeing that Feng Yi really didn't want to participate in this session, and didn't want to let go of Feng Yi as a topical figure, the program team came over to ask if he was interested in participating in the next event?

Feng Yi asked: "What activity?"

The person from the program team said mysteriously: "Unboxing the python box."

Feng Yi:? ? ?

Feng Yi: "Blind box?"

"Uh, yes, it's just about pythons, so we call this session 'Python Box Unboxing', and the guests need to pick a 'blind box'."

Feng Yi frowned, "Is it similar to the pet blind boxes on the Internet? The kind where you lock the animals inside and then send a blind box over?"

The person from the program team looked excited: "Of course not! We don't do that kind of rubbish!"

Seeing that Feng Yi was disgusted with the so-called pet blind box, the person from the program team quickly explained:

"The 'blind boxes' I'm talking about are snake eggs. You pick one before they hatch. For example, it's like, after giving birth to a litter of puppies, you pick the puppies, but you are not allowed to see the puppies. Flower color. This process does not interfere with their normal development and growth, nor is it a threat to their lives. It just adds a little fun."

Feng Yi listened to his explanation and almost understood.

The zoo not only brought pythons from the research base, but also bought a batch of snake eggs and tried to hatch them on its own.

It just so happened that the program crew came over to record the program, and Steve, the master of climbing circles, participated, so the zoo had something to think about. After three-party discussions and consultation with relevant departments, this event was finalized——

The program team asked the guests to pick a snake egg, wait for it to hatch, and then feed it with the zoo.

Nowadays, the control is strict, and private individuals are not allowed to keep pythons, so the snakes are kept in zoos, but they are labeled as guests of the show crew.

Not everyone can participate in this kind of cooperation. Only experts like Steve and Feng Yi certified by the Federal Bureau of Protection can cooperate in this way at the zoo.

"Feeding together?" Feng Yi did become somewhat interested.

"Yes, if you are so willing, I can show you the contents of the agreement. It was signed by the guests, our program team and the zoo. The relevant departments have already given the license. If you want to participate, you can also sign one. "

"Let me see the agreement."

Feng Yi took the tablet handed to him and looked through an electronic document on it.

It seems, okay.

But he didn't agree immediately.

"So, those little pythons haven't broken out of their shells yet? Can I go see the eggs first?" Feng Yi asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask."

The man ran quickly and asked the director.

When the director heard that Feng Yi was interested, he immediately decided: Let him watch it!

The person from the program team happily led Feng Yi to one place, "Those eggs are in the incubation room, you come with me."

There was nothing else for Feng Yi to do here, and it was not good to stay here any longer. There were always people who wanted him to join the anaconda bathing over there. Now that I know there will be such an event later, I can participate in it and complete the publicity tasks assigned by the Joint Security Bureau.

There are various snake eggs in the incubation room, which are watched over by an incubation room employee.

The person from the program team took Feng Yi to an incubator.

"The smaller egg next to it is a ball python, and the larger one over here is a reticulated python. We originally ordered a reticulated python, but if you want to choose a ball python, you can."

"Just follow your original plan."

Feng Yi looked at the snake eggs in the box.

Placed there one by one, they look like big white steamed buns.

It is not the breeding season for wild reticulated pythons now, but in a captive environment, the season can basically be ignored.

"These are eggs laid by artificially bred reticulated pythons, but the zoo doesn't know what genetic strain of snakes are inside. These eggs look about the same size, but they are actually not from the same nest." Someone from the program team told Feng Yi The origin of these snake eggs.

They were all seized by the Federal Security Bureau during an investigation of illegal breeding organizations. They had been kept in the research base before, but there were too many snake eggs there, so I contacted several zoos to ask if they were willing to accept them.

This is also one of the zoos that is capable of hatching. The director personally went over to grab a batch of eggs and brought them back.

"Although the parents of the selected ones may not be the same, they were hatched at almost the same time. According to them, these are almost time to break out of their shells," said the person from the program team.

The incubation room employee who had remained silent also said at this time: "Actually, we originally arranged for someone to come over and cut the eggs, but later we learned that a program team would use them for recording a program, so we didn't cut them."

Cutting eggs is equivalent to manually breaking their shells.

Survival in the wild is about eating the weak and the strong, but in a captive environment, there is no pursuit of strength. As long as the survival rate can be improved, there is no survival of the fittest system.

Feng Yi could tell that the eggs in the box in front of him were all reticulated python eggs, but they were not wild type. They were all complex genetic strains obtained through artificial breeding.

It's all done by those people who play with genes, in order to get a better-looking body color.

No one knows whether these individuals with various genes superimposed are defective and weak. If it cannot break out of the egg successfully, it will suffocate in the eggshell.

Generally speaking, these artificially bred genetic strains are much weaker than wild ones.

Therefore, in order to ensure that more baby snakes can survive, the zoo will assist in breaking the eggshells.

Worried that Feng Yi would not understand, the person from the program team explained: "You can understand it as... a caesarean section in another sense."

Feng Yi: "..."

Someone from the incubation room said: "Because the eggs are not cut, we don't know whether the little snakes inside are developing normally, whether they are strong or weak, and whether they can survive. We also don't know their body color."

Feng Yi nodded and looked at the person from the program team, "So, these are 'blind boxes'?"

The person from the program team scratched his head, "Not all, I remember the director said, let people screen them again and select five or six."

Feng Yi looked at the snake eggs inside.

Snake eggs are not a hard, perfect shape because the shell is soft.

Three of the nine snake eggs contained inside have lost their life signals.

Half of the remaining six are in a relatively dangerous state, with weak life signals.

Feng Yi adjusted his position, turned his back to the camera, and stretched out his hand.

The incubation room employee who was watching next to him wanted to say something, but considering Feng Yi's status as an expert, he held back.

Feng Yi's palm rested on the egg with the weakest life signal.

Invisible active factors are transmitted from the palm, transmitted to those eggs, and penetrated.

These active factors are different from the information substances he releases when he scares sparrows and starfish. These are the substances that leak out every time he mutates or sheds his skin.

It is these active factors that make the koi in his garden's landscape pond grow like pigs.

Generally speaking, this active factor has the function of strengthening the body to some extent.

However, Feng Yi's current control over this substance is limited, and the amount is not large. He wanted to see if these active factors could allow those larvae with weak life signals to survive.

When he retracted his hand, Feng Yi tapped his fingers lightly on the eggshell with the weakest life signal, leaving all the remaining active factors to it.

In the eyes of the incubation room staff, Feng Yi's behavior was just reaching out curiously and gently touching the eggshell.

"Let's go, Steve's side should be finishing filming soon."

Feng Yi left the incubation room.

After he left, the program team and the park sent people over to screen the nine eggs again. Screen out the three snake eggs that have lost their life signals.

The remaining six will be chosen by Steve and Feng Yi.

Over there, after Steve finished shooting, he was eager to share his excitement with Feng Yi.

However, his high spirits quickly came down.

Feng Yi told him about looking for a mobile phone in the old hotel next door.

Steve clicked his tongue dissatisfied, "The staff still need more training, and I will mention it to the park management later. They do still have a lot of room for improvement. I also took a look today. There are a lot of loopholes in the old building, and the new building is better. . In the newly built glass houses, the glass doors are equipped with alarm systems. If they are not closed tightly and are left open for too long, there will be an alarm sound. There are also more cameras."

Thinking of something, Steve smiled again: "By the way, I just heard from a zoo employee that after you appeared in their live broadcast room, all the online tickets for the zoo were sold out today! Some areas of the reptile house are closed, and snakes The museum is not open to the public, but there are quite a few people guarding it outside.”

Feng Yi was well prepared, "I asked, there is an internal passage to leave from the side door."

"Okay, just be prepared." Steve put aside his worries and the smile on his face deepened, "Did you just sign that agreement?"

"I haven't signed it yet. Everyone is very busy now. The people from the program team said that I can re-sign it after the recording is finished." Feng Yi said.

Steve laughed and patted Feng Yi on the shoulder, "Let's go! Let's go choose eggs together!"

Entering filming again, the program crew moved out the box that Feng Yi had seen in the incubation room. However, the original nine snake eggs in the box were replaced by six.

Program team: "You can choose the egg you like."

Steve looked at the eggs with a loving look on his face, and then asked the director: "Can I choose them all?"

The director smiled politely and refused firmly: "No!"

Steve was unwilling to give in: "I can add more money!"

The muscles on the director's face twitched, and he seemed to be shaken for a moment, but he still said: "...No!"

It’s not that I don’t want to make this money, it’s that I can’t!

The Federal Security Bureau won’t let you!

Steve looked away with difficulty and said to Feng Yi, "You pick first."

Feng Yi didn't hesitate, pointing to the one with the weakest life signal: "Let it be."

See you tomorrow,
