Changshui Village Farming Notes

Chapter 406 The plan failed
Han Qingyang and Han Qingyi stood aside quietly listening to the greetings of the few people.

It was the first time they had heard of the discovery of Chinese horseshoe crabs in Changshui Village. At this moment, Han Qingyang still cared about the island, and all his attention was focused on the conversation between the few people.

Although he did not grow up by the sea, Han Qingyi is a doctor after all, and he has also learned about the medical uses of the blood of the species of horseshoe crab. In recent years, due to the sharp decrease in the number of horseshoe crabs in the domestic and international markets, the price of horseshoe crab blood has also dropped. Climbing year by year, he also listened carefully.

"The Provincial Institute of Zoology seems to have never heard of an expert who specializes in the study of the Chinese horseshoe crab!" Han Qingyang suddenly said lightly.

Professor Lu smiled wryly for a moment, and was not angry that Han Qingyang questioned his identity. "To tell you the truth, I originally studied the protection of marine life. Management regulations are yet to be improved, so people generally do not pay much attention to horseshoe crabs, and there are very few people engaged in research and protection. The research results and protection methods are far from meeting the protection needs of the species. Therefore, the entire Provincial Institute of Zoology, Except for me, no one is studying Chinese horseshoe crab, and it is normal for Mr. Han not to have heard of it.”

Han Qingyang nodded, looking thoughtful, "Then is there any research significance for this species?"

"Very meaningful", related to his major, Professor Lu is obviously very professional, and he started talking endlessly.

However, his main research direction is the protection and artificial breeding of Limulus chinensis. He does not have a deep understanding of how to use it in medicine and what its economic value is.

However, Professor Lu has heard about the rise in the price of horseshoe crab blood in recent years, which has led to more rampant smuggling activities, so in words, he still expresses his concern about the current situation of the survival of horseshoe crabs in China.

Domestic research institutions are not like foreign countries. Most of the research results of professors are devoted to transforming economic momentum. However, this type of research in China may be completely derailed from economic interests. Therefore, it is reasonable for Professor Lu to not know much about this aspect. among.

Han Qingyi knew his brother very well, and he couldn't be said to be a money-oriented person, because their Han family never lacked money.

But he only enjoys the feeling of conquering and scolding Fang Qiu in the mall, and the symbol of his success is the string of numbers on the company or bank statement.

Frankly speaking, the money that the Han family puts out for public welfare every year is no less than a year's profit of a small listed company. These are all without consideration of returns, but every investment of Han Qingyang that is not for charity is based on I went with the intention of making money.

To put it bluntly, this person makes money as his life's work.

Therefore, he knew very well what his brother meant by the meaning of the research, which was to ask about the economic value of protecting the horseshoe crab. However, Han Qingyi was embarrassed to tell his brother the economic value of the horseshoe crab in front of intellectuals like Professor Lu. Interest, that might make Professor Lu think that his brother is a businessman covered in money!

It is true that Han Qingyang is not such a person. When it comes to being arty and putting on airs, Han Qingyi thinks that he is still inferior to his brother.

However, it was not good to talk about this in front of Professor Lu at this moment, so Han Qingyi gave Han Qingyang a wink, indicating that his brother should stop this topic.

It's not good for people from both parties to talk here all the time. Professor Lu kept talking, so Gu Kuangyun suggested, "Why don't we go to Moon Bay for a while!"

You can also drink a cup of tea and rest your feet.

Professor Lu waved his hand and looked up to see that the time was still early, so he nodded and said goodbye to several people, then turned to Qin Cheng and said, "Officer Qin, let's turn around again while the time is still early! I want to gain a little more control I heard you said that horseshoe crabs often appear in the reef area ahead, let's go and have a look!"

Qin Cheng nodded, and indeed some villagers reported that sometimes they would find the horseshoe crab in the reef area when they were rushing to the sea.

Qin Cheng and Professor Lu walked away slowly while talking, and turned around the reef area by the sea again. Although they did not find Chinese horseshoe crabs, they still found traces of their passage.

At this time, there were hardly any tourists around, so Qin Cheng looked at Professor Lu, "Professor, look, given the current situation in our village, can we apply to be classified as a Chinese horseshoe crab protection area?"

Professor Lu shook his head and frowned, "There are too few samples, and the observation time is too short. Although the number of discoveries is considerable, it is not known whether they exist stably in this area. It is not enough to form favorable evidence to prove that there are some species that can become protected areas. It is necessary, and the protection of this species is still in its infancy, and I am not sure whether Zhengfu can establish a protected area for the Chinese horseshoe crab."

Qin Cheng asked eagerly, "Then what should we do? What size population can apply for the establishment of a protected area?"

Professor Lu thought for a while, "It needs at least two years of stable data, and a certain scale, because I'm not sure if the discovery of such a large-scale horseshoe crab in your village this year is a coincidence. If it is a coincidence, it is impossible to succeed at all. .”

Since the inspection team came to Changshui Village, the news of the smelter's coming has been spreading all over the place. People in the village committee are thinking about how to solve this problem, how to get rid of the above ideas, and prevent the smelter from settling here.

The method of the village committee is to rely on the power of the masses to persuade the nearby villages to oppose the above-mentioned approach like Changshui Village. If there are more voices of opposition, the county cannot ignore the feelings of the villagers and may be forced to stop the smelter. this project.

Old Yang's solution was to ask his son for help, to see if he could find someone in the provincial capital to help solve this problem; and the solution Qin Cheng thought of was Professor Lu.

As a college student who just came out of society, Qin Cheng naturally has a different idea from the village head. Instead of solving the problems of enterprises that will invest in Changshui Village in the future, he thinks whether he can directly solve the problems that Changshui Village will be destroyed by the government in the future. The problem of development occupation.

As the number of Chinese horseshoe crabs found in the village is increasing, the village head has strengthened the propaganda of the villagers to let everyone pay attention to protecting the Chinese horseshoe crab found on the seashore, but he did not use it as a way to refuse the smelter to settle in Changshui Village chips, or weapons, but Qin Cheng is different.

He has read books, and his vision is much broader than that of the village head. He has also learned about the cases of joint development of several biological reserves and scenic spots in China, so Qin Cheng believes that if Changshui Village is really designated as a Chinese horseshoe crab protected area, at least those polluted It is absolutely impossible for a large enterprise to settle in Changshui Village again!

Moreover, if Changshui Village becomes a protected area for the protection and breeding of Chinese horseshoe crabs, then even if there is any development in the future, it will not cause great damage to the environment around Changshui Village, and will try its best to maintain Changshui Village. natural environment.

Not only that, after Changshui Village becomes a protected area, the Chinese horseshoe crab reserve can also become a means for them to attract tourists, and the funds attracted can also be used for the protection of Chinese horseshoe crabs. For Changshui Village, it must be said that it is the best of both worlds. Method.

Qin Cheng had been thinking about it for a long time, and he contacted Professor Lu through many contacts, because there are too few people in China who study horseshoe crabs, so it is conceivable how difficult it was for Qin Cheng to find Professor Lu, and he still owes him money. A lot of favors were paid.

But Qin Cheng felt that it was all worthwhile. He hired Professor Lu in the hope of gaining some support from him in the academic world.

But now, Professor Lu told him that it would take two years to determine whether Changshui Village could be listed as a protected area, and his heart sank.

Can Changshui Village have two more years?

I'm afraid that after two years, the smelter has already started construction, and Changshui Village has been completely destroyed.

"Then, is there no other way?" Qin Cheng frowned.

Professor Lu shook his head, "I'm afraid not. The control of this aspect in China is still very strict. Without enough data support and facts as a basis, it is too difficult to designate Changshui Village as a protected area."

Qin Cheng bowed his head in silence for a long time, and finally looked up at Professor Lu, "Thank you, Professor Lu, I'll think of a way!"

Professor Lu also knows a little about Changshui Village. To be honest, after looking around, he has a very good impression of this village. There is no large-scale development, and the water quality is also very good. It is a very suitable habitat for the Chinese horseshoe crab.

If Changshui Village will really build a smelter in the future, then he will also feel very heartbroken, and the Chinese horseshoe crab will definitely lose a very good natural habitat.

Professor Lu sighed, unfortunately, he is just an unknown figure in the research institute, he doesn't have much right to speak, and he can't help much.

Just because he has been studying horseshoe crabs in the research institute for the past few years, he is quite excluded there.

"You're welcome, Officer Qin. I'm ashamed that I didn't help." Professor Lu patted Qin Cheng on the shoulder, "I will live in Changshui Village for a while to observe the living conditions of this population. Next year I will also If necessary, I will also provide research opinions and papers to support you when Changshui Village applies to become a protected area in the future." Professor Lu said.

Qin Cheng said, "Okay, thank you", he could only think of other ways.

But now that the situation has reached a very critical situation, Qin Cheng really doesn't know who he should go to to solve this trouble!

Here, after Qin Cheng and Professor Lu left, Han Qingyi briefly introduced the situation of the horseshoe crab with his brother, focusing on the function and economic value of horseshoe crab blood.

The research on the blood of horseshoe crabs has been carried out until today. Human beings have discovered that the "Limulus reagent" extracted from horseshoe crab blood can accurately and quickly detect whether the internal tissues of the human body are caused by bacterial infection, and can also inhibit the growth of bacteria and slow down the proliferation of cancer cells. ; It is also used in the clinical diagnosis of diseases caused by Gram-negative bacteria such as meningitis, cholera, plague, whooping cough, etc.

At the same time, in the pharmaceutical and food industries, it can also be used to monitor toxin pollution, and significant progress has been made in drug testing, food hygiene, and environmental monitoring.

"So, the price of horseshoe crab blood in the international market is very high now."

Finally, Han Qingyi concluded with these words.

Han Qingyang rubbed his chin, "So, if the Han family can invest in Professor Lu's research and build a laboratory here, will it bring us huge benefits in the future?"

"At present, the artificial breeding of Chinese horseshoe crabs in China has achieved initial results. If the production of horseshoe crab blood can be increased by increasing the population, I think this should be feasible." Han Qingyi said with a smile.

So, is his brother planning to enter the medical field again?

"Well, not bad." Han Qingyang nodded in satisfaction.

Gu Kuangyun "shivered" beside him.

Boss Han's momentum of turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, this feeling of throwing a stack of checks in your face is so fat!
Are you really rich and willful?

Mr. Han said a few words, and there was another investment project in mind.

Then, Gu Kuangyun took Han Qingyang and Han Qingyi to the island.

In order to protect the many seabirds inhabiting the island, the village has now restricted the number of people who go to the island, so there are very few traces of industrial civilization here.

Because the village head arranged for people to salvage garbage at the seaside and offshore, the foam, mineral water bottles and other garbage that were often seen on the island before have disappeared.

According to the villagers in the village, many seabirds have moved to the island recently, in addition to common albatrosses, petrels, small frigate birds, puffins, egrets, seagulls, etc., there is also a pair of extremely precious Chinese crested terns.

This seabird only lays more than a dozen eggs in its life, and it has extremely high requirements on the environment. It needs a quiet habitat and clean and pollution-free air. However, the IUCN lists it as a critically endangered species, and the number of it in the world is less than a hundred. .

Because there are many hidden reefs on the side of the small island and the water is relatively shallow, tourist boats cannot approach at all, so a few people can only take a speedboat to go there.

When a few people came to the North Pier of the village, they saw the two people in suits and leather shoes. The staff driving the speedboat was a little embarrassed. I had never seen anyone wearing a suit to the beach, so I suggested that they change into clothes that are more convenient for movement. .

But because the two of them didn't expect to go to sea this time, or they didn't expect to go to sea by speedboat, and they didn't prepare any extra clothes, so Gu Kuangyun could only buy two sets for them at the tourist goods store in the village.

In fact, I can also think clearly that most of the shops opened in the village are ordinary tourists, so they don't prepare any high-end sportswear.

For Han Qingyang and Han Qingyi, the price was very low, very inappropriate for their wealth, and very unable to bring out President Han's mighty arrogance.

Especially the icons of several sports brands printed on it, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is a miscellaneous brand.

Boss Han took the clothes expressionlessly, as if he didn't care whether he was wearing rags or fine clothes.

And Han Qingyi touched the fabric, rubbed several marks printed on the clothes, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Kuangyun, then went into the room to change clothes without saying anything.

When the two of them came out, Gu Kuangyun couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, he was used to the abstinence and aloofness of the two in suits, and then suddenly transformed into such a casual and down-to-earth look.
