After riding for thousands of miles, you told me I was going in the wrong direction?!
Feng Yi took a deep breath.
Take another deep breath.
Feng Yi reflected.
Every time he went out, he would check into a hotel or find a place to stay before dark, eat and sleep to restore his strength, and continue riding at daybreak.
I didn’t expect that!
Activation is actually dependent on the stars at night? !
Actually, it was not a complete failure. At least I knew how to use the compass.
Perhaps some of the navigation cells in the body have finally been activated. They are no longer listless and lifeless, and the sounds they make are no longer weak and are not covered by information from other senses.
According to what Huo Jin said, his compass should be more like a star compass
It's worth a trip here, at least the starry sky here looks clear. The more star clusters you record, the more accurate your compass navigation will be!
Once the compass is calibrated, instinct comes into play!
Although it was launched a little late.
But now is not the time to complain.
Feng Yi opened the map on his mobile phone. With the accurate navigation of the compass, his direction was also clear instinctively. He checked the map and looked at it.
We were definitely going in the wrong direction.
If you go directly north from Yongcheng, you will reach your destination in no time.
He had now traveled too far west and had no intention of returning.
Now that you know your destination, it becomes easier to plan your route, and you can choose a more efficient way rather than traveling through mountains and hills in the rain.
Although he didn't know why his instinct told him to go there, but, as Huo Jin said, once those cells related to environmental cognition and route planning came into play, their accuracy was extremely high. If he didn't believe them, would he believe the butler who couldn't find the answer even by flipping through the notes
To believe in them is to believe in yourself!
People still have to rely on themselves!
Feng Yi stood by the lake planning his new route.
In the tent, Huo Jin, who had just returned from taking photos for the second time, was chatting with his companions on his mobile phone.
There were people resting in the tent, so it was difficult to talk, but they couldn't hold it in, so they just typed and talked in the chat group.
"Is he still out there?"
"When I first saw it, he was still there, continuing to stay there, as if he was thinking about some philosophy of life. I didn't feel comfortable disturbing him."
"Isn't he cold?"
"I asked him before and he said he wasn't cold. Now he seems to be unable to feel the temperature even when he's standing there. He's really weird."
"The last time I saw someone like this was with my junior. When he was heartbroken, he sat alone on a bench in the corner of the campus for a whole night. The autumn wind was howling, and it was extremely desolate... Alas, I feel like that guy surnamed Feng is also experiencing some kind of emotional crisis."
"Then don't bother him while he's thinking about the philosophy of life. Adults will be able to move on quickly once they figure it out."
"Can't figure it out?"
"That's a bit dangerous."
"If he can't figure it out, won't he jump into the lake?"
"probably not?"
In the early morning, they came out of the tent and took a photo. Feng Yi continued to stand there looking at the starry sky.
They went back to the tent and continued to sleep. When they woke up in the morning, they found that Feng Yi's bed was still empty. It was the same as it was yesterday.
Huo Jin was startled and got up and ran out. He looked around but didn't see Feng Yi, but Feng Yi's bicycle was still there.
"Could he really have secretly jumped into the lake?"
Just as I was thinking this, I saw Feng Yi coming over with a bag of hot food.
Seeing that Feng Yi was fine, Huo Jin felt relieved.
Feng Yi entered the tent and distributed the food in his hand to them.
Huo Jin thanked him and asked, "You don't want to eat? Didn't you come in to sleep last night?"
Feng Yi replied: "I have already eaten. I was thinking about some issues by the lake last night."
Huo Jin glanced at him and said, "You haven't slept all night and have been exposed to the cold wind all night, but you are still so energetic! I admire you!"
Feng Yi smiled and said, "I am more resistant to cold."
Knowing that Huo Jin traveled a lot, Feng Yi consulted him and planned the next route. He was not going to ride a bike.
He didn't plan to go there by train or plane. He had just learned how to use a compass, so he had to slowly get familiar with it. Cars were even better. He could confirm the route and direction while driving along the way and get familiar with the use of the compass.
If he decides to take the bus, he must ask people who frequently go here to determine which route is better.
"Are you going to Jicheng? In that case, you can wait another day. There is a research team nearby. I talked to their people last night. They may leave tomorrow. Although they are not going to Jicheng, they can give you a ride. They have several cars and there are several amateurs in the team. They are not all scientific researchers, so they have more freedom." Huo Jin said.
Feng Yi thought it was okay. He just had to wait for another day and ask the other party to give him a ride. He could pay for the fare.
Knowing what Feng Yi meant, Huo Jin sent a message to the person he knew in the team over there.
He got a reply from there soon.
Huo Jin looked at the replies and frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Feng Yi said, "It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient over there. I can find someone else. There are still a lot of cars here."
"Not really. They have a hard requirement. You must have more than 200 points to join the team. Do you know the points? It's the one that is bound to the sixth database."
"I have."
"It's really troublesome. Most people... you have it? Just bind it to the sixth database. The points are universally used. You can't fake them!"
"I really do." Feng Yi pulled out his electronic ID card, which had a logo and a number on it.
Huo Jin looked at Feng Yi's 1000+ points and was a little bit unbelieving. If he hadn't seen Feng Yi click into the official platform and take out his electronic ID card with his own eyes, he would definitely have thought that Feng Yi had found a small program to make a fake ID!
"How do you have so many points? Are you also doing scientific research?" Huo Jin was curious.
"No. I have participated in scientific expeditions and served as a volunteer." Feng Yi did not intend to elaborate. Anyway, his points were real and he was not afraid of being checked.
Huo Jin clapped his hands, his smile much more enthusiastic than before, "That's no problem! Can't tell, brother!"
He replied to the research team there, and they quickly agreed, giving a place and time, and asked Feng Yi to go there tomorrow.
"I'll drive you there tomorrow. It's not far anyway." Huo Jin said.
"Thanks!"
"Hi, you're welcome! We're going out to take samples later, would you like to join us?"
If someone had never been on a scientific expedition team, Huo Jin would definitely not have made such an invitation. It would be troublesome for an inexperienced person to follow. Do you really think that going out is just for fun
Feng Yi thought that he had nothing to do today, so he followed them out and might be able to help out a little.
Two people in Huo Jin's small team were unable to go out due to altitude sickness and had to rest for a day. Feng Yi's joining could really help them.
Huo Jin drove the team to the mission site.
There were many rocks nearby. When Feng Yi got off the car, he happened to see a big bird throwing something from high altitude, and the thing hit the rocky belt not far away.
Huo Jin glanced over there casually, "The vulture is smashing bones again."
Huo Jin flipped through a high-definition photo of a bearded vulture he had taken before, and said, "This is what a bearded vulture looks like. It has a natural villain face. Some people also call it a bearded vulture, but it has so much hair that it makes people jealous!"
"Do they like to smash bones?" Feng Yi asked.
"I love to eat bone marrow. I mainly eat bones. I break large bones and swallow them directly! I am very accurate in throwing bombs. I always hit the rocks with bones."
Huo Jin touched the top of his head and asked, "Does eating bone marrow make hair grow?"
Of course I'm just joking.
As a scientific researcher, Huo Jin certainly understood why the bearded vulture had thick hair.
Other vultures mainly feed on carrion, and need to put their heads into animal carcasses to eat. In order to avoid blood on their neck feathers and make them tangled, they gradually evolved into "bald" under natural selection. They become stronger as they become bald.
The bearded vulture is different, as it mainly eats bones. It does not need to put its head into the abdomen of its prey, and does not need to worry about its neck feathers getting tangled due to blood.
Huo Jin briefly explained these to Feng Yi.
Seeing Feng Yi still looking over there, Huo Jin said, "It will probably drop bombs another ten times. Do you want to take pictures?"
"No shooting." Feng Yi retracted his gaze and began to help with sampling.
In addition to the bearded vulture, Feng Yi also saw a golden eagle.
Golden eagle, a national first-class protected animal.
However, Huo Jin and his friends have more complicated feelings towards the golden eagle.
People always have biases.
"When the migrating demoiselle cranes fly over the Himalayas every year, golden eagles are there to guard them."
They are following a project related to the Demoiselle Crane, and they have a deeper emotional connection with it. Huo Jin and his team are of course more inclined towards the Demoiselle Crane. It has nothing to do with the protection level.
"Country One is hunting Country Two." Feng Yi said.
Huo Jin didn't want to talk about this sad topic.
Feng Yi did not mention this again, but asked, "Are there any snakes at an altitude of 4,000 meters?"
As long as they don't talk about the golden eagle, Huo Jin still wants to talk.
"Yes! The research team you're going to hitch a ride with tomorrow came to the plateau just for the hot spring snakes.
“But their mission with the hot spring snake is almost complete, and they are about to set off to another place to look for the red-spotted pit viper.
"Both of these snakes can survive at altitudes above 4,000 metres. There may be others, but we haven't found them yet."
"Red-spotted pit viper? It's a poisonous pit viper." Feng Yi said.
"It's a pit viper, for sure. But don't be afraid. It's a small snake that eats moths. It has short teeth that can't even bite through a glove."
"I'm not afraid." Feng Yi was just a little surprised.
Hot spring snakes can only live near hot springs, but the erythrocephalus has no such restriction and is still a venomous snake.
It is indeed not easy for a venomous snake to live at an altitude of 4,000 meters.
Originally, Feng Yi was just planning to take a ride, but when he learned that the team was going to look for the red-spotted pit viper, Feng Yi became interested.
So, the next day, when Feng Yi found the scientific research team at the agreed time and place, he took the initiative to introduce his experience as a volunteer in the South 6 Team of Nanchong Nature Reserve.
Originally, the head of this scientific research team was not very willing to bring an outsider, and only agreed to give him a ride because the other party had more than 1,000 points. But now, when he heard Feng Yi say that he was good at catching snakes, his attitude immediately changed.
After the abnormal climate period, it is difficult to find the red-spotted pit viper, so one more person means a greater chance of finding it.
Feng Yi had already sent his bicycle and cycling equipment back home, and changed his clothes. When he got on the research team's car to leave, a cycling team happened to come by, including the five people he had met in the traffic jam on the highway.
But Feng Yi didn't care. In his opinion, everyone was just a stranger who met once and would have no contact in the future.
Feng Yi naturally didn't know that after he left, the cycling team arrived at the tent where he stayed last night and used the photos on their mobile phones to ask people about the owner of the illegal taxi.
…
The car that Feng Yi took was owned by an amateur enthusiast who had served as a volunteer in the scientific expedition team several times and had accumulated enough points. He also knew the leader of the expedition team and came along this time mainly to take pictures of snakes.
The owner of the car is surnamed Huang, also known as Huang Ye, who is in his twenties. He is a bit tanned, probably because he often drives outside.
"Feng Yi, right? I heard that you followed Nanchongnan Team 6? The scientific expedition team that caught the giant python and the Eye King this year?"
"Yes." Feng Yi replied.
"That's amazing! I submitted my resume before and was rejected. The people who are chosen by South 6 Team are all great!"
Huang Ye was very excited. Because he had been rejected several times, he understood the selection process of South Team 6. Of course, except for those with media backgrounds, such as the outdoor broadcaster of South Team 6 who was kicked out of the team after being bitten by a cobra this year. He didn't have much talent, but he had a lot of drama.
Huang Ye admired Feng Yi, who joined the team based on his real ability. When he looked at Feng Yi, it was like looking at a great god who could lead him to success.
So, in order to get Feng Yi to impart more experience to him, Huang Ye kept flattering him.
Feng Yi's face turned red after listening to this, and he thought: Catching snakes is an instinctive thing, what's so great about me? I'm not even a "cub", just an egg.
But on second thought, Feng Yi felt that—
I'm so fucking awesome!
Have you ever seen eggs finding a place to hatch by themselves
So, the heat on Feng Yi's face subsided, and he calmly continued to listen to Huang Ye's flattery.
