Chapter 385: The Extinct Passenger Pigeon Reappears
Traveler pigeon.
A kind of pigeon that particularly likes to travel, a typical flock represents an animal.
The largest ethnic group can reach more than 100 million, and at some point in history, it has more than humans, at least 5 billion.
In the seventeenth century, some European pioneers who had just arrived in the United States encountered flocks of travelers while driving carriages in the wilderness.
They flew through the air and covered the sun for several hours, and the birds were five hundred kilometers long and one hundred kilometers wide.
But even such a huge ethnic group, after more than two hundred years of arrival, they slaughtered all these passenger pigeons!
In September 1914, a man-breeding passenger pigeon died. There has been no news of a passenger pigeon again and it has been confirmed that it has become extinct.
As the most famous bird that has become extinct in modern times, this incident was recorded in previous American textbooks, so most of the workers who can recognize it were workers over 45 years old. This pigeon with red belly was exactly the same as the picture album in the textbook!
This year marks the 90th anniversary of the extinction of the travel pigeon, and I actually saw this species again in the snow-capped mountain ranch!
The worker who had screamed out before was afraid, scared away the passenger pigeon and shouted in a low voice: "Where did you find it?! Is there only one?!"
"I picked it up in the snow, it almost froze to death."
Han Xuan said, looking at the pigeon staring at the crumbs on the plate, he didn't expect to save a super endangered protected animal.
Traveler pigeons have always been a pain in the hearts of Americans. Because their ancestors hunted and killed, they even erected a monument for traveler pigeons in Risweelosen Park, Wisconsin for them.
If this news spreads, all news newspapers will use it as headlines tomorrow, without exception.
"There must be other traveling pigeons, otherwise they would not have reproduced to this day, God! Thank you for your kindness!"
The worker's words had just been said, and many people turned their attention to him. This is the result of human beings. What does it have to do with God?
Han’s father drank a sip of wine and felt that if they really lived near the ranch, there would be no chemical fertilizers and pesticides for hundreds of kilometers nearby in the future.
This is a good thing. The fertilizer used in Gonzalez ranch would flow along the rainwater to the Forest River, resulting in too high pesticide residues on the riverside and not reaching a truly pure organic one.
The government will never allow them to use it again in the future, and this means a large amount of subsidy. Based on the size of the Snow Mountain Ranch, it is estimated that it will cost more than five million US dollars a year.
I was so dizzy that I was hit by this pigeon. I raised my head and drank it, and grinned and said, "Jensen, is there a camera here? If there is no photo, others will not believe it."
"Yes, but forget it in my dormitory, I'll get it."
Seeing his colleague's gaze, Jansen stood up helplessly.
The glory of the extinct traveler pigeons is so attractive. In the early 20th century, a team of biologists searched for more than 30 years and found Central America from Canada. Even so, they were unable to find it. They are now more precious than the national birds, bald-headed sea eagles!
"Hurry up! The traveler likes to run around and will fly after the rest!"
In fact, the worker was thinking too much. The passenger pigeon squatted down lazyly and was so comfortable that he was smoked by the hot spring steam. He had no idea of leaving.
I haven't eaten since yesterday and now, and finally I can't help but fly to the small wooden table and eat the bread crumbs on the plate.
A young man in his twenties opened his eyes wide in surprise, shook his companion beside him, pointed at him, indicating that it was his bread.
The water temperature dropped very quickly, but no one asked to change the water. He was afraid of movement and scaring away the passenger pigeons.
Jansen ran over tremblingly, raised his camera and quickly took off his clothes, walked into the hot spring, Han Xuan took it from him, wading the water and approached it carefully.
The pigeon croaked, and his little head couldn't remember who was its savior. But this feeling of closeness made it not afraid, and he tilted his head curiously in the face of the flash.
The body was soaked in the water and felt cold. Jansen waited for him to take a photo and opened the pump valve. The hot hot spring water poured out. The water in the pool used to flow out along the drainage pipe.
Han's father stood up and wiped his hands. ********** went to the RV to call. When the spring was the peak period for fertilizer use, he would reveal the news one day earlier and the legislation would be one day earlier.
Others are afraid of banning pesticides, but they are not afraid, because the snow mountain ranch has never been used. Including government subsidies, other ranchs also make money. There are two months left this year, and maybe they can make a fortune from the state government.
He gave Han Xuan the phone and said, "Are there any familiar newspapers? Sell the news to them."
Han Xuan was stunned for a moment, understanding his father's idea, and he calculated how much it would be better to sell. The New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle were mostly positive about his reports. They cooperated with the SoS Group, and the old man spent a lot of money to advertise on it every year.
Just as I was about to call the number editor-in-chief of the New York Times, I remembered that I asked Hope Technology to create a news website some time ago, and then called the temporary company manager, Professor Christopher.
Christopher didn't know the Han father's number, so he picked it up and asked, "Who are you?"
"Han Xuan, I want to ask the company's news website, is it done?"
"Ah, it's you. I'm done. Mr. Anthony helped contact several small newspaper companies in Silicon Valley. They have been on the Internet for four days. The number of clicks is less than 5,000, and the effect is not very good."
This was something Han Xuan expected. His popularity was not opened, and the number of clicks on the website would definitely not increase. He said, "I have a message. I will send it to you by fax when I go back and put it on the website to make headlines. What do you think about promotion?"
"...Not yet, I can only bring out something attractive. Negotiations with large media companies to buy news are underway. The other party seems not very interested, otherwise the bid is too high."
"Don't be afraid of spending money, I'll tell Mr. Anthony, is Harris by your side?"
"Here, you wait."
Christopher shouted Harris from the phone, and someone spoke soon: "What's the matter with me?"
Han, I'm busy. Isabelle is here and insists on taking her to Stanford University. It's all your good things!"
"Harris, I'll talk about this later.
If, I mean, if, if you ask you to send a group email to other Internet users, can you do it?"
"Mass sending? It should be OK. Microsoft and Sape have a port to send emails to product users. As long as I hack it and obtain authorization, I can send files to all users of these two companies.
But what exactly should I do? I am a serious person now and don’t do illegal things.”
