Mr. Peng laughed dryly and said, "I didn't do anything."
Xiang Yang was too embarrassed to take the bag. "Actually, I just made a phone call. Xiaojin found this turtle. I'll give this prize to Xiaojing."
Chen Yu stopped him with his hand and said with a smile: "How would we know if you hadn't called? This is what you deserve, open it and take a look."
Xiang Yang refused several times before he opened the red paper bag with a wry smile.
First, there was a small pile of coins neatly tied up with white paper. They were all of the largest denominations, five in total.
Xiang Yang raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Yu.
Chen Yu said happily: "Because the turtle itself is not a very valuable treasure, the prize money is not much, but it is more of an honor."
"Thank you." Xiang Yang nodded carefully.
There is something inside the red paper bag.
Xiang Yang took it out and saw that it was a small blue notebook.
"This is a certificate issued by the World Conservation Union to people who discover and protect endangered species. With this certificate, you are a member of the World Conservation Union. When you discover other rare animals in the future, you can bring them back to the city openly and hand them over to major research institutions or major animal protection organizations. You can also seek assistance from major animal protection organizations. No one dares to stop you, and all major animal protection organizations will help you." Chen Yu said.
Xiang Yang's eyes lit up and he quickly put away the notebook.
To others, this little notebook may just be a certificate of honor, but to Xiang Yang it is really useful!
For example, the Steller's sea eagle is still being fed by the crew members who stayed on Xiang Yang's ship. If Xiang Yang had this certificate, he would not be afraid of people discovering that there was a Steller's sea eagle on his ship.
"Okay, Xiao Chen," Director Li Bo said, "The leather turtle is still waiting to be released. We must extract the genes from the leather turtle as quickly as possible. Let's get on the test vehicle and head to the beach where the leather turtle was found while doing experiments."
"Extract genes?" Xiang Yang asked doubtfully.
"Get in the car, I'll tell you in detail in the car." Chen Yu said with a smile.
"Okay, then I will listen to you teach me one more lesson."
Through Chen Yu's detailed explanation, Xiang Yang finally understood why scientific researchers attached so much importance to the leather tortoise. They attached so much importance to it that almost as soon as he made a phone call, Chen Yu had completed the scientific research procedures the next moment.
It turns out that a big event happened in the biological science community in 2013. A British biologist discovered a new substance in a tube of blood extracted from a giant leatherback turtle weighing more than 700 kilograms. This special substance, after a special arrangement and combination, can effectively inhibit hundreds of highly toxic substances including box jellyfish venom and king cobra venom.
When the news first came out, not only did ordinary people not believe it, biologists from all over the world were skeptical, and even researchers in the UK were skeptical. At that time, many medical experts and biologists expressed great concern about this matter.
Unfortunately, the experimental data was classified as confidential by the UK and was never leaked out, and the matter soon came to nothing.
It can't be said that it has been left unresolved. At least those who care about it have remembered it.
Under Li Jin's guidance, the three research vehicles drove further and further away, almost leaving the city. Everyone began to doubt in their hearts: Is it possible for such a young child to reach such a place alone without an adult
Li Chao suddenly said, "I think I know where Xiao Jin found those three leatherback turtles."
A group of people turned their heads to look at Li Chao.
Li Chao said, "There is a coastline in front of us that is less than two kilometers away from my old house. The nanny who takes care of the old house said that Xiao Jin often ran back to the old house alone. It turned out that he went to the beach to play. Hey, this kid."
"Is it there, Xiaojin?" Li Chao asked.
Xiao Jin nodded, "Xiao Jin caught the little turtle there."
Li Chao slapped his forehead. It was true.
"Let's get off here. It will be difficult to drive further ahead." Li Chao said.
"OK."
A group of people got off the car, and Dr. Li, Professor Chen, scientific researchers, and faculty members all followed Li Chao.
After passing through a lychee forest and walking forward for a few hundred meters, we finally arrived at a beach.
This is a beach completely different from Qinglongwan. The long coastline is full of rugged rocks and sharp reefs. The beach is full of palm-sized scallop shells and long spiral snail shells shaped like fingers.
"We may have to go to the sea soon." Chen Yu took off his glasses and put them in a glasses case. "We are going to go to the sea to investigate whether this is really one of the spawning sites of leatherback turtles. If so, we need to leave a research team here to build a research laboratory, and we may even apply directly to the higher authorities to list this place as a leatherback turtle nature reserve."
"Wait." Xiang Yang pointed in a direction, "Teacher, look."
"Teacher has to work now. The most urgent thing is to confirm whether there are sea turtles in this sea area. What do you want me to see..." Chen Yu suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words.
Following the direction of Xiang Yang's finger, there was a marine creature with a large umbrella-shaped head taking shelter from the heat under a reef somewhere.
Chen Yu was stunned for a moment.
Director Li Bo's face also changed slightly, "Jellyfish! There are jellyfish in this place!"
Li Chao smiled bitterly and said, "The land here is very cheap. In fact, my hotel was originally located here, but after a field survey, I found that there were too many jellyfish in this area, so I had to give up."
Jellyfish is actually also a jellyfish, and it is a very representative type of jellyfish. It is a very beautiful mollusk with an umbrella-shaped body. The diameter of its umbrella can even reach 50 cm.
However, there is an essential difference between jellyfish and ordinary jellyfish. That is, the cortex of jellyfish is hard. Yes, it is a mollusk, but the cortex is very hard.
"Group one, test the water temperature, group two, lower the phosphorescent lamps, Professor Chen, follow me, we're going to catch that jellyfish." Director Li Bo gave the orders while taking off his clothes.
Xiang Yang stood aside and watched, slightly wondering how Director Chen was going to catch the jellyfish.
Jellyfish's name contains the word "sting", so it is natural that it has something to do with people. There are eight huge bowl-shaped mouths under the jellyfish's umbrella-shaped head, and countless milky white tentacles grow on each bowl-shaped mouth. Those tentacles are covered with densely packed thorny silk sacs that can secrete highly toxic substances. Redness and swelling are the minor injuries to people when they are stung by jellyfish, and severe cases can even cause death.
Of course, it would be unnecessary to say that Xiang Yang was worried about Professor Li and Professor Chen. Both of them were top experts in this field, and catching a jellyfish was a piece of cake for them.
Professor Chen and Professor Li both took off their shirts and smeared a dark purple liquid on their bodies.
Then two more researchers handed them a rectangular alloy box each.
