Those years of engaging with the system for animal insurance

Li Cixin felt the slipperiness of the thing he touched, and thought it might be a big fish, but when he looked back, he saw a small thing circling curiously around him.

This fish-like little guy is only more than half a meter long, with a lead gray body color and a short beak.He has a full forehead like a birthday boy, and a pair of ignorant and curious eyes are staring at Li Cixin on both sides.A wide mouth, the corners of the mouth are naturally raised, and a natural smiling lip.

Li Cixin immediately thought of what this cute little thing was—the Yangtze finless porpoise.

Another aquatic mammal of the Yangtze River.The body length is generally about 1.2 meters, and the maximum is 1.9 meters.Not particularly big, but it may be that they are smaller and darker in color than the baiji dolphins, and their living methods are different. Later, although their numbers are still in danger, they have been upgraded to the first-class protected animals in China.It is also much luckier than the baiji dolphin that has not been seen for 20 years and has been declared functionally extinct.

The Yangtze finless porpoise is also called □□.There are finless porpoises in many parts of Asia, and it is a freshwater mammal with a wide range of divisions.

Unexpectedly, on the second day of Li Cixin's arrival, he did not see the baiji dolphin, the target of the mission, but saw the finless porpoise first, which was a pleasant surprise.

Li Cixin soon felt that something was wrong, this finless porpoise was so small, it looked like a minor at first glance, how could it be possible to play here alone.

Sure enough, seeing that Li Cixin didn't hurt it, the little finless porpoise rolled a few times in front of him, rubbing its soft nose against his broad tail.The head keeps turning in one direction.

It may be that the other party's intentions are obvious. Li Cixin guessed that this little guy wanted to go with it.

Li Cixin looked at the huge difference in size between each other, and went with confidence.

The little finless porpoise has a round body, but it is not too slow to swim, but after all, Li Cixin has undergone a speed modification, so he can only swim with it slowly, and he swam for about 10 minutes.Li Cixin finally understood why the little finless porpoise brought it here.

Before Li Cixin's eyes, an adult finless porpoise was trapped in a pile of fishing nets and couldn't extricate itself. The tail, fins, and torso were all covered with fishing nets, and many places had already turned red.It desperately went upstream, trying to go to the surface of the water to breathe, but every time it was pulled down by the fishing net.

Seeing that he was about to be drowned, Li Cixin quickly swam forward, and under the terrified eyes of the mother finless porpoise, he easily tore open the fishing net.

The female finless porpoise, which was freed from the shackles, quickly swam out of the water, took two deep breaths, and dived down again.

Li Cixin observed the fishing net in his claws, and found that it might have been discarded or lost, and there were many dead fish that were injured by accident.Maybe the female finless porpoise was trapped by the fishing net because of the dead fish on it.

When he looked back, the mother finless porpoise was kissing the young finless porpoise, and looked at him fearfully and warily at the same time.

The little finless porpoise seemed to be exchanging information with its mother.Li Cixin suddenly asked:

"System, have you copied the function of the information exchange gene of the target animal?"

System: "Yes, but your current level is not enough to develop this function."

"Can't you put some water in order to complete the task quickly?"

"No, absolutely not. Dip, collect adult finless porpoise gene fragments. Information collection is in progress, please don't disturb."

Then there was no sound.

Li Cixin: ...

Li Cixin looked at the fishing net that had strangled the female finless porpoise to bleed, and tore it into pieces, so as not to look for other animals.

snort!unhappy.

The two finless porpoises next to him didn't understand why the kind-hearted guy in front of him was suddenly unhappy.So they leaned forward and rubbed against Li Cixin, as if trying to make him happy.

This scene really melted Li Cixin's heart, and he couldn't help rubbing the heads of the two finless porpoises.

In the following time, Li Cixin continued to go north, but with two little tails behind him.

Sometimes when he was hungry and encountered a school of fish, Li Cixin swung his tail like a god otter, knocked him unconscious, and would take some out to share with their mother and child.

Unconsciously, I swam to the place where Dongting Lake meets the Yangtze River - Chenglingji. Chenglingji belongs to Yueyang City and was established as a town in 51 years.

It is also known as the first gateway to the waterway in Hunan Province. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Controlling this place is equivalent to controlling the entire water transportation in Hunan Province.

Chenglingji is a rare natural deep-water port in the Mainland, which is very favorable for shipping.

The information in Li Cixin's mind told him that at this time, Chenglingji had not been named by the country and had been developed as a first-class port, which could be used by international ships.

But after all, it is a waterway port with a long history. Li Cixin saw many ships coming and going from a distance. At this time, Huaxia was the first ten years of reform and opening up, and there will only be more such ships coming and going in the future.

He signaled the finless porpoise mother and son to stay here and not run around, so as not to be discovered.

Now China has only established a protection catalog. The finless porpoise belongs to the second-level category. Like some other rare wild animals, because the timeliness of official protection is too backward, it has been abruptly dragged to endangered in the next 30 years.To be upgraded to level one.

In addition, at this time, the public's awareness of environmental protection was weak, and the [-]s became more chaotic due to the great changes of the times.Heavy codes are used in troubled times, so there are a lot of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in this period.

Even in some food documentaries in the [-]s, game such as bear paws and pangolins appeared.

At this time, people are either busy making money, or those who have made money want to play something different and eat something strange.Coupled with the fact that the country is facing too many challenges at this time, there is no energy to pay attention to these "details" issues.

When we are rich, looking back, many animals are already in danger or even extinct.Representatives of extinct animals in the later generations of the Yangtze River are the Baiji dolphin and the Yangtze River white sturgeon.

The baiji dolphin and the Yangtze river white sturgeon are two brothers and sisters. The former is the largest aquatic mammal in the Yangtze River Basin, and the other is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world. It has been recorded that a 7-meter-long and several thousand-jin river giant was caught in Jinling. The blame is the Yangtze River white sturgeon.There is a folk proverb in Sichuan and Shu: "Thousand catties of lazi (Chinese sturgeon), ten thousand catties of elephants (Yangtze River white sturgeon)."

At this time, the existence of these animals in the 80s was already very dangerous.

The most frightening thing is the comprehensive impact. With the development of the economy, there are many factories along the Yangtze River, a large amount of sewage is discharged into the Yangtze River, and the water quality is seriously polluted; non-degradable plastic garbage leads to the death of swallowed animals; overfishing leads to fish reduction, lack of food, and ecological problems. chain imbalance; invasive alien species crowding out the living space of native species………

Under such an environment, the cute little finless porpoise has been able to persist for more than [-] years, and can still keep about a thousand fire seeds, which can be said to be quite powerful.

As a human being, Li Cixin has nothing to criticize for such an inevitable historical situation.He is the direct beneficiary.

In later generations, many young people hated their ancestors' behavior of destroying the environment on the Internet, and even rose to the national and national level.

But what?They were not from that period, and they did not understand the sentiments and behaviors of that era, so any advice from above would be untenable.They are all bearers of a "legacy," which is both good and bad.

Without the barbaric growth of this period, it would be impossible to have their modern life later.Regardless of whether it is Europe, America or China, the process of industrialization and modernization always comes at the expense of the natural environment, but the former is just one step ahead.

Of course, it is not to excuse their behavior, but to say that development is inevitable.

I just hope that the efforts of future generations are not too late.

Very hypocritical, yet very real, for these animals.

It was evening, and Li Cixin dived into the deeper water to avoid being scratched by the ship's propeller.

It didn't take long for the sky to get dark, and bright lights lit up on the surface of the water. Li Cixin found a reed bush and poked out a huge head, staring at the people on the river bank, laughing and cursing.

The pier, which was busy during the day, is much cleaner now.

"Lao Yang, did you catch a lot of fish today?"

"Two thousand catties!"

"Hey, um, I'm going to make a fortune today!"

"Then there's still a net that hasn't been up yet! Mo Gang, the proprietress has fried some good ones. Let's have a dozen beers and reward the brothers."

"okay!"

This is an ordinary conversation in a food stall, listening to the characteristic local accent, and the spicy and stimulating aroma wafts in the air.Li Cixin silently dived into the bottom of the water, and rushed in the same direction as he came and went.

This period of time is enough for him to figure out the water environment here, and now he is going to take the mother and child of the finless porpoise into the Yangtze River at night.

After swimming for a while, Li Cixin felt a tingling pain in his left front foot. He stood up and groped, and suddenly felt more pain, as if a needle had been pierced into his skin.The key is to go deeper and deeper.

It looked like a fishhook, but he saw that it was for fishing. There was still a line attached to it, and the boat was still pulling hard.

Fortunately, after Li Cixin grew up, his skin became thicker.He took out the hook, which was too small for him, and almost missed it.

Playful, he wrapped the fishing line around his paw a few times, and now he could easily break the line with his strength, but he wanted to play a joke on the fisherman.

Li Cixin took the fishing line and swam to one side, then to the other side, causing the people on the boat to shout:

"Hey, it's amazing! I caught a big guy today!"

Hearing the voice, he was still an old man who was not too young. He was brave enough to drive a small boat to the center of the water for night fishing at night.

Li Cixin teased him back and forth for a while, and finally felt bored and wanted to break the fishing line, but he pulled it hard.

I don't know if the fishing line is too good or the fishing rod is too bad, it will be split right away.Who would have thought that the old man would be so strong and still not give up, he grabbed the broken fishing rod in front and was dragged off the boat by Li Cixin.

Seeing that the old man seemed to have cramps in his legs, he was soaking in the water, ups and downs like the fish darts before.Li Ci couldn't bear it, after all, he didn't do anything serious.So he swam up quickly and pushed the old man to the side of the boat.

The old man grabbed the side of the boat with his hands and feet together. Looking back, he saw a long black thing arching and falling on the water surface, which was very huge.

This scene was deeply imprinted in the old man's mind.

In the following years, until his death, the legendary story of him fishing for a river monster tonight and being rescued by the Dragon King was often mentioned!

Others always say that he is dishonest and telling lies, how can there be a Dragon King?He smiled and said:

"Besides the Dragon King, is there anything else with long hair in the river?"

Li Cixin didn't know that this little episode established his "legendary" mission status.

It's just that when rushing back to the waters where the finless porpoise mother and child lived.The scene in front of him cracked his eyes.
