Every day is one step closer to reality

The weather is a bit gloomy.

There was a tense atmosphere in the humid air.

Wang Wentao gasped and looked at Feng Yi, who was confronting the King Cobra over there.

This was his first time to see a wild king cobra about three meters long at such a close distance.

This feeling of shock was too strong. The wild King Eye gave him a completely different feeling from the artificially raised ones he saw in the reptile house!

I feel scared when I think of the situation when I was chased just now!

When he saw such a big king cobra, he was so excited that no one else in the team could understand.

Is this just a king cobra?

No!

In Wang Wentao's eyes, this is an extremely important set of data related to his doctoral thesis!

With such an important set of data in front of him, how could he be willing to let it go! !

But it’s true to be afraid.

He could only catch some small snakes. When he was doing field work training in the past, the types of snakes used for training were limited, such as cauliflower snakes, which he had a lot of contact with. There is definitely no king cobra, let alone such a big one.

He did almost all the auxiliary work in this scientific examination, just helping out when needed.

I was reckless just now, but luckily I wasn't seen by Professor Zhou, Professor Zhu and the others. On the day Cheng Si was taken away by the rescue team, Professor Zhou also gave several young team members a field work safety class.

Fortunately, Feng Yi was with him today, otherwise, he would probably have become the second member of the team to be taken away by the rescue team.

At this time, the king cobra stood up and stared at Feng Yi quietly.

Wang Wentao thought that Feng Yi would interact with the king cobra first like he teased the cobra last time.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yi suddenly asked him:

"What do you think it looks like?"

Wang Wentao was stunned for a moment, realizing that Feng Yi was asking him what he thought of this king cobra, and then he said without thinking:

"Handsome! Domineering! Kingly style!"

Feng Yi thought: Where did you see this? Why didn't I see it? It is only a little prettier than the little green dragon.

Feng Yi asked again, "Pay attention to its eyes. What can you see in its eyes?"

Wang Wentao affirmed: "Ferocious! Calm! The contempt of a king!"

Feng Yi: "..."

He stared at the king cobra carefully for a while: Why didn't I see it?

He didn't see either of the kingly contempt or the light of wisdom that Steve had said.

Wang Wentao was about to contact others when Professor Zhou and several others heard the sound and came over here. Wang Wentao's two shouts of "Feng Yi, Feng Yi" were loud enough.

After Steve saw the snake clearly, he walked over quickly, so fast that he couldn't even see that his foot was sprained. I'm so excited.

"Hahaha! King Eye! Such a big and wild King Eye! I told you we will be lucky!"

Seeing the reinforcements arriving, Wang Wentao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Feng Yi could stay stable. When Steve comes, everyone works together to catch this king cobra. After all, such a big and venomous snake is so fierce that it makes people feel frightened.

After Professor Zhou and the others appeared, Feng Yi's eyes flashed with regret.

He had a lot of ideas that he hadn't implemented yet, and he still wanted to do what Steve said and go around and touch its head.

Of course, Steve also said that you can use the same technique, divert its attention and then kiss it.

Feng Yi had no idea. It’s not that I don’t dare, I just can’t speak up.

When looking at this king cobra, Feng Yi even felt his stomach growling, urging him to do something.

However, breaking the law is not acceptable!

Therefore, when you are hungry and in an energy-saving state, you should do whatever you can to save energy.

Steve dragged his sprained leg towards Feng Yi and was about to shout, "Don't panic! I'm here to help you!"

Then Feng Yi pinched the king snake with eyes with a "swish".

Really fast as lightning!

So fast that Steve didn't even have time to say a word!

Steve: "..."

It didn't even give me a chance to show off...

Feng Yi's move just now was too fast!

This is the first time Steve has seen someone catch a king cobra like this!

He was stunned, and the King Cobra was probably also stunned by the pinch, and was caught without even reacting.

Teacher Lei took several photos of such a big king cobra.

Professor Zhou contacted the base and asked them to take a look at the newly discovered wild individuals here.

After the abnormal climate period, among the king cobras found in the wild in China in recent years, in terms of size, this one ranks among the top ten!

This is indeed important news, and this snake can provide more research data!

…

Cheng Si recovered well after receiving treatment in the hospital for the past two days. Although I was a little frustrated the day I was bitten, I quickly got involved in a new publicity plan.

The traffic is so delicious!

Various interviews and reports from various parties, the fans are rising rapidly!

He also kept brainwashing himself. As long as he deceived himself, his secret would not be revealed in the interview! So much so that he almost forgot how he was injured!

When Steve sent the photo, Cheng Si was still in the hospital bed, discussing follow-up marketing plans with the team.

After seeing the photo clearly, Cheng Si suddenly felt that the traffic was no longer good!

If he could hold on for two more days...

King of eyes!

This is the King of Eyes!

Such a big-eyed king, if you can take a photo with him at the scene, touch him up close!

I feel like I missed out on 100 million! ! !

The news that Team Nan 6 discovered a king cobra that was over three meters long during the scientific expedition was reported by the official account of the Nan Chong Reserve Research Base.

Various media accounts forwarded it one after another, and self-media also began various expansions.

So, Lu Yue, who was gathering with friends, received another push message.

After seeing reports about Feng Yi's scientific expedition team last time, he set up keyword push, but he didn't expect to see another one so soon.

"Lu Yue, what are you looking at?"

A person came close to him.

Lu Yue turned the screen of his phone towards him, "I saw on the news that another king cobra over three meters tall was found in the wild."

"King of Eyes!?"

Others were also curious after hearing the news, and had different opinions after reading the news.

"This one is just average. I've seen bigger ones! They're over four meters long! I've even touched them!"

"The one you are talking about is artificially raised. It was found in the wild. It is purely wild and different from the artificially raised ones!"

"Yes, yes, I read a report last time, saying that those individuals in the wild are stronger, not only in terms of size, but also in terms of physical fitness, toxicity, etc."

"That's for sure. Those individuals in the wild have successfully survived the abnormal climate period. After cruel natural selection, the toxicity... tsk tsk!

"And the professor of the scientific expedition team also said that it will continue to grow. Anyway, in my opinion, compared with those raised in captivity, the difference between wild individuals and those raised in captivity is like the difference between wolves and dogs. In a real fight, it depends on who is more powerful. It’s harder, the export is harder.”

"So this guy in the photo in the news is really fierce! Look, it says he caught such a big snake by himself? This is so awesome!"

"This guy who catches snakes is really awesome! But why do I feel like this guy looks a bit like Brother Yueshan Snake? He's the one who caught Little Qinglong!"

"I think so when you say that."

Looking through the comments, it turned out that many people also speculated this way.

How come the scientific expedition team still has people code the photos they send out? Are you trying to hide something? !

Listening to the discussion of several people there, Lu Yue smiled secretly in his heart: Feng Yi, how long can you wear this vest?

After laughing, Lu Yue began to think, how can he use Feng Yi's fame to maximize his benefits when Feng Yi loses his vest?

At this time, Feng Yi knew nothing about people's speculations.

He's collecting venom.

The amount of venom of the King Cobra is relatively large. Although it cannot be said to be the largest, it is still at the level of large amount.

Steve observed the venom he had just taken, "Look at this venom, it shouldn't have eaten yet, and it may have come out in search of food. The king cobra doesn't like to wait and wait. It likes to run long distances and take the initiative. If you didn't stop it just now, it might not." It will take care of you. If you are not on its diet, it will not waste its venom easily."

When Wang Wentao heard this, he said: "Yes! It really ignored me at first and kept running forward, probably looking for snakes to eat.

"After I chased it for a while, it turned back and chased me. It was a little irritable and quite fierce at the time!

"Actually, if you think about it, you can understand it. When you are hungry and ready to find food, and someone stops you, why don't you get angry?"

Feng Yi took it in himself and imagined it for a while.

The fist is hard.

Steve continued to observe, "Look at the shape of its grooved teeth. It usually doesn't spray venom, but it injects a large amount of venom when it bites, so being bitten is quite dangerous.

"Also, as far as I know, the venom of the King Cobra seems to have changed after the abnormal climate period?"

Steve said and looked at Professor Zhou and the others.

Professor Zhou nodded and said: "Through the study of venom samples and comparing the data before the climate abnormality period, the venom changes of wild King Eyes are indeed obvious, and this change may continue.

"These individuals surviving in the wild are still maintaining a rapid evolution and adjustment. This is why I always say that these individuals and their descendants that can survive the abnormal climate period may be stronger and more dangerous.

"Moreover, we conducted toxicity tests on venom samples provided by various countries in the same year using laboratory-cultured mice and some invasive species to compare the lethal doses of king cobra venom in different regions. Our country's king cobras are toxic to rodents Larger, neurotoxins predominate.

"The venom of king cobras also changes with age. When they are young, because of their smaller size, they prey on small animals, such as mice, and their venom is mainly poisonous to these prey. As they grow, As it grows larger and larger, it gradually begins to eat snakes and rarely eats mice, and its venom changes accordingly with the food.

"This kind of change is very interesting, especially the ones that survived. Their ability to adapt is so strong! This kind of change made with the changes in the hunting environment is worth studying!

"So we take new venom samples for analysis every year during scientific expeditions."

Wang Wentao kept nodding beside him.

Yes, that's why he was willing to take the risk to chase the King Cobra!

That means data, papers, and a higher impact factor!

If it weren't for these, he would have seen the King Cobra go around ten miles!

Steve's focus was not on the specificity of the venom. He looked at Feng Yi squeezing the snake venom and said, "Feng Yi, your venom squeezing technique is really good. Are you interested in making some change?"

Feng Yi was puzzled.

small change? Squeeze snake venom?

Steve continued, "Many research teams at home and abroad conduct toxicity tests and poison volume tests every year. To do this kind of test, snake venom must be collected. It is more troublesome to collect venom from some snakes. People with insufficient experience and inaccurate techniques can squeeze it. Poison will cause large data deviations. Some teams are very happy to pay this amount."

Steve gestured.

Feng Yi didn't know how many zeros this gesture represented, but he really wasn't interested in squeezing the venom. He felt his cheeks hurt when he squeezed it.

Steve likes to share these experiences with others, “Some snakes are not very cooperative when collecting venom, and it is very difficult.

"Last year, a foreign team asked me to help when they were doing this kind of research. They were doing research on venom. In fact, there were many snakes that excreted more venom than the king cobra or had the same amount of venom, such as some species of spearhead vipers, and some snakes. Rattles, Gaboon's viper, coast tadpole, etc. are all very poisonous, and collecting venom is like pouring wine.

"However, there will be certain deviations in the data measured every year. The size and condition of the snake will have an impact on the final data."

As he spoke, Steve began to complain again, "A venomous snake with long tube teeth like the one in Gabon is very inconvenient to extract the poison when it doesn't cooperate. It also retracts its teeth! The long tube teeth are troublesome!"

Feng Yi: "..."

Steve talked about some of his experiences of being invited to help get poison, and after enjoying himself, he said to Feng Yi, "Anyway, if you are interested in making pocket money, or want to follow those teams to see the testing process, contact me directly. That’s it.”

Feng Yi thanked him. He really didn't want to squeeze venom out of a large venomous snake, but Steve had good intentions.

However, the sense of substitution was too strong and the scene caused discomfort.

Also, long tube teeth must be kept away!

Let’s update early today!

I will try to update during the day in the future.
