Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet

Chapter 182 [How long it takes to be persistent]

"How long you walk, you will be persistent; how long you think, you will be able to see farsighted", this is a slogan that Chen Ergou likes very much.

However, now this sentence is very practical and present.

In this world, there are always some scenery that only exist in people's imagination; there are always some expectations that have been engraved in dreams.

What you see in front of you is completely beyond the expression of those maps and photos.

What is hidden behind is the secret of the Creator in heaven.

"OMG!"

"God!"

The three people around him were immediately overwhelmed by the beautiful scenery, even Old Baker was no exception. He was like a devout Christian crossing his chest, muttering to himself: "Only heaven can see it!"

This is not the case with Chen Ergou and the audience in the live broadcast room. Even the audience who have never thought about taking screenshots can't help but have the idea of ​​taking screenshots.

What you can see nearby is a trapezoidal elephant grass forest that spreads forward, which is more than two meters high. Those upright grass poles, smooth grass knots, and flat blades like knives are like rows of guards, guarding the forest. the edge of.

The camera pulls forward slightly to reveal a shrubby forest dotted with countless large, colorful flowers. From a distance, it is just a colorful apron, which is even more radiant in the sun.

Countless butterflies and hornets fly during the period, and they have endless sap and endless nectar.

Further ahead, the forest slopes upwards, and it is a volcano covered by dense vegetation. The color of the trees at the foot of the volcano is red, and occasionally a few patches of green are dotted like desert oases. As it goes up, it becomes surrounded by green, with distinct layers, which looks like an impressionist oil painting.

A continuous waterfall on the left side of the mountain is folded into several sections, resembling a white scarf flowing down from the mountain stream. The deep valley where the waterfall falls looks like a cloud of milky white smoke from a distance.

A rainbow rises behind the light refracted by the sun, and several large white birds fly by in front of the waterfall.

The crater and high mountains farther away can no longer be seen clearly. The natural secondary forest is mixed with strange trees like "Warcraft" treants. Occasionally, a towering tree will stand straight into the sky, like He is a lord, occupying an area by himself. There are also countless vines passing through the woods, not only growing around the trees, some even grow out from the middle of the trunks,

It's unbelievable.

It's like something out of a cartoon!

It is a forbidden area for humans, but it is a paradise for animals such as monkeys and gorillas.

"Praise God! This trip is really worthwhile. I have the idea of ​​coming here to die." The old Baker finally sighed and put down the camera, but his eyes still couldn't leave the beautiful scenery.

Chen Ergou was still calm, took out the parchment scroll from his arms to copy the map, looked at it again and again, and determined the direction.

With a dry cough, he signaled his existence, and said: "It's a secondary forest, maybe someone has done mining there. Maybe there is an abandoned mine, diamond mine or something. Anyway, I want to go and have a look. You... "

"Really? Great!"

Before he finished speaking, Jenny couldn't help agreeing with joy, "I just wanted to persuade you to take us there to enjoy the scenery, but I didn't expect you to have the same idea."

Anthony, who had been silent all this time, also raised his hand and said, "This idea is great, I agree with it."

"Me, too." Old Baker expressed his opinion with a smile, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course. Chen, we still have to give priority to your opinion, otherwise the three of us might not be able to get out if we get in."

Chen Ergou raised his eyebrows, these Americans really forgot the pain after their scars healed.

Fortunately, it doesn't delay his business.

This time, even the audience in the live broadcast room was united. Who is Chen Ergou and took out his map that is suspected to be a treasure map!

Chen Ergou put away the map, tightened the backpack belt around his waist, and said: "There is nothing to say. Let's set off, first go through the elephant grass forest to find the stream, and then go up the stream, and strive to arrive before noon."

With a goal, everyone immediately becomes full of motivation.

Along the way, a human-shaped passage was cut with a knife from the elephant grass forest. The original elephant grass blades here have rough edges, and if you are not careful, you will leave cut marks on your arms and face.

There is still water covering the low-lying areas under the feet, which is a masterpiece of last night's rain.

Such an environment has virtually added resistance to the road ahead.

Fortunately, the elephant grass forest is not very big, it is not a grassland after all.

It is not easy for these elephant grasses to grow such a huge piece in the highly competitive Congolese jungle.

"Be careful where you step, don't reach out to touch any blades of grass, because it may be a snake, try to use a wooden stick to separate it. Follow the path I walked, keep close and don't get lost. I don't want to go back Looking for you."

There were occasional jokes along the way, and the rest was his calm commanding voice.

This is Chen Ergou's first time leading someone, and it doesn't feel that difficult.

Perhaps during this period of time, we have been talking in English, and the number of foreign audiences in the live broadcast room has actually increased a lot. Those are all ip addresses from abroad, which made the panda data monitoring technicians a little dumbfounded, "Could it be possible that Panda will develop into an international website?" He gave a hearty exclamation, but did not forget to tell the boss the news.

After leaving the Elephant Grass Forest, you enter a fairy tale world just like in a Disney movie: what does it feel like to have thousands of colorful butterflies flying around, that's it.

The real flowers bloom in the wild places. The beauty they reveal inadvertently makes people intoxicated.

The mesmerizing environment infects people's emotions, as if they really entered the world of fairy tales.

Of course, it might really be a dream trip if it weren't for the occasional buzzing of flies.

"Don't get bitten by these flies, drive it away or kill it, never let it land on the skin."

"Chen, why is that?"

"Flies don't seem to bite, do they?"

Chen Ergou said: "Those are not ordinary flies. They are smaller than ordinary flies, but they are very famous. Those are the famous tsetse flies in Africa. People will fall asleep when they are bitten."

"It turned out to be a tsetse fly." Of course they had heard the name before, but they didn't think of it for a while.

Old Baker said: "Chen is right. The tsetse fly is a blood-sucking insect, and it is considered the most dangerous fly on the planet. It usually feeds on the blood of humans, domestic animals, and wild animals. It can also spread human sleep sickness and domestic animal blood." A similar disease—African trypanosomiasis.”

"My colleagues have studied economic differences, agricultural development, and population density in Africa from the perspective of tsetse flies, and found that there are very profound connections."

Chen Ergou was also very curious when he heard the words, and said, "Professor, analyzing the tsetse fly can also study the economy and population density?"

He always thought that zoologists study animals, but he never thought that they could also study regional economy from animals.

It was rare that Chen Ergou took the initiative to ask questions, and the old Baker was very happy. He raised his spirits and said: "Yes, apart from the animals themselves, tsetse flies are also extremely valuable for research. Even the current population density and agricultural distribution are similar to those of tsetse flies. Density indices are inextricably linked."

Idle is also idle, and it’s good to listen to the old man’s chatter occasionally. Chen Ergou continued to praise, "It’s the first time I heard such a point of view, it’s very novel. Please continue, I’m all ears."

The old man laughed and began to talk incessantly. Chen Ergou roughly understood after listening for a while.

It turns out that tsetse flies prefer to feed on animal hosts, especially domestic animals. As a result, in places where tsetse flies are prevalent, farm animals cannot develop, and some places even use slavery to force labor.

Wild animals are more immune to trypanosomiasis than domestic animals, so that area is largely hunted. Just like the Ewenki tribe, the last hunting tribe in China, most of the time it is the environment that determines the way of life. Not that they want to live that life. After the Sinicization and relocation, the number of people still insisting on hunting has continued to decrease.

This is why technology is developing so fast in the world today, and the African Congo is still hunting for a living. Of course, the specific research cannot be explained in a few words, and there must be many knowledge points that he has not designed.

"Then why not wipe them all out?" Anthony asks a silly question. "In areas where agriculture and livestock are needed, mass spraying can do that."

"That can't be done."

The old Baker taught: "Have you forgotten the ecological balance? Every animal has its own role, even a blood-sucking insect. Although Africans are deeply affected by it, 50,000 people die directly or indirectly in the forest every year." The economic losses from tsetse disease are as high as $4 billion, but they treat the tsetse as their friend, and they don't even bother to kill them."

Chen Ergou suddenly said: "I think I understand what you mean."

"oh?"

The three looked at him together.

Chen Ergou said with a smile: "The tsetse fly curbs the rapid development of animal husbandry, otherwise the millions of cattle and antelopes on the grassland will eat up all the grass, and there will be no environment for other animals to live in." gone."

"A great example. Cattle are particularly afraid of tsetse flies, but other wild animals are much more resistant, so some areas where cattle can't go, these wildlife parks can be preserved." Old Baker said happily when he saw the hunter: " Chen, do you want to study zoology, I can recommend you to enter without examination, how about being my graduate student?"

"Pfft..." The audience in the live broadcast room almost sprayed him to death.

"Where did the old man come to invite us to study? My dog ​​is already a professor at the level."

"My big dog master knows everything, no one in the world knows it!"

"I just checked this old man. He is really a genuine professor and scholar. He seems to be very authoritative in the field of zoology."

"Master Dog won't go to the United States to go to school, will he? California University, waived for graduate school?"

Chen Ergou was also a little dumbfounded, shaking his head and refusing: "I'm afraid I can't promise you, I'm a chef! Rather than studying animals, I prefer to put them down, peel them, then cut them into pieces, and put them in my pot to cook." into a meal."

The audience was paralyzed with laughter, and the barrage was full of laughter——

"23333^_^"

"This is their dog master."

"Food is invincible!"

"The old man is going to faint."

It's not enough to faint, it's just that this answer is unavoidable for the three people who have devoted their lives to zoology.

A stream appeared in front of it, very clear, and the current was not too urgent. It should be a tributary under the branch of the upstream water table. They waded forward, up the stream.

Rengar jumped onto Chen Ergou's shoulder, jumped from left to right, and paced back and forth, as if he wanted to find a good place to lie down and rest. In the end, I found that it was only comfortable to lie on my backpack.

The corners of Chen Ergou's mouth curled up, and he turned his neck sideways, rubbing against it with half of his cheek and head, making intimate contact with each other. Rengar wanted to stick out his tongue to lick him again, but he avoided it. He didn't want to be scratched by "sandpaper" on his handsome face.

The little guy hasn't developed the habit of not licking people's faces yet, it seems that he needs to cultivate more tacit understanding in the future.

Rengar let out a "meow", found a suitable place, and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. Sitting on the backpack, with the front half of his body lying on one shoulder, one paw resting on Chen Ergou's chest, he groaned "Gululu" and blew hot air on his neck to rest.

Chen Ergou is not worried that it will fall, but try to avoid some bumps and jumps when walking.

Such a harmonious picture of one person, one favor makes countless people drool with envy.

Jenny clicked the shutter unconsciously, and recorded a photo of this tall man interacting intimately with the pet beast on his shoulder under the shade of trees and against the background of a few pillars of sunlight.

There is a saying -

Maturity has nothing to do with age, but a kind of experience!

Elegance has nothing to do with dress, but a kind of temperament!

Such a picture makes people unbearable to disturb, and the audience in the live broadcast room instantly became fangirls and fanboys.

"Ah~!"

Sometimes danger comes out of the blue.

As they were walking, suddenly three people screamed in unison from behind, like a cat that stepped on its tail, jumped out of the water in a hurry, and almost fell into the stream.

Even Chen Ergou, who was leading the way, was no exception, his body shook violently, and he quickly jumped ashore.

"There is something under the water!" Everyone screamed again and again.

"calm!"

Chen Ergou let out a low drink to stop his panic.

(Guess what? Add my WeChat official account, xrymloveu, and Rengar will post pictures in it, ^_^)
