Chapter 314 Fighting for a Place
"Did they tell us about the situation in that village? Did they say that anyone died or was eaten?"
[It didn’t say anything, it seems to be just an indigenous village, the person who posted it should be an explorer. ]
Jiang Shiyan fell into deep thought.
Pythons are one of the most docile snakes and generally do not actively attack humans, especially female snakes.
Unless she feels threatened, she is desperate to find a male snake to support her.
All these signs made Jiang Shiyan suspect that the female snake was pregnant!
The pregnancy period of snakes varies from species to species, and pythons, as a special type of snake, have an embryonic development period of 200 days. During this process, most of the time is spent in the mother's body, which provides most of the nutrition.
After the female snake becomes pregnant, in order to protect the fetus in her belly, she will usually look for a warm and quiet cave to hide, and the male snake will be responsible for finding food and feeding her. But now the male snake has been captured by humans, and she is threatened, so she attacks human villages and keeps searching for the whereabouts of the male snake.
Jiang Shiyan thought for a long time and finally decided to forward all the findings to Qin Haiyang.
"Teacher, Junior Sister sent another message, please take a look!"
Xia Zhu hurriedly found Qin Haiyang and handed him the thing Jiang Shiyan sent.
Qin Haiyang's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and his eyes were filled with anger. Even the usually gentle and good-tempered man was so angry that he cursed: "A bunch of idiots!"
"Teacher, what should we do now?" Xia Zhu asked anxiously, "If the data is true, and the female snake is approaching our Yunnan Province, it will definitely be a threat to the nearby villagers. And based on the data from my junior sister, I used a model to simulate and analyze and found that this male snake is still growing at a rate of 20-30cm per year. If it is not controlled, it can grow at least 20m..."
This data may seem miraculous at first glance, but it would not be a good thing if it appeared on a mutated reticulated python that kills people.
Qin Haiyang did not answer him, but walked straight towards Director Yuan's office. Xia Zhu jogged after him and kept reminding Qin Haiyang to walk slower.
"Professor Qin, Yuan is in a meeting..."
"Get out of the way!" Qin Haiyang said in a deep voice.
"Professor Qin, I'm sorry, we can't let you in."
Tan Haiyang asked coldly: "What if I insist on going in?"
"Professor Qin, please don't make things difficult for us. You will be the first person to be seen after the meeting at Yuan's office..."
At this moment, the guard at the door suddenly heard Director Yuan's voice through his earphone. He responded and changed his tone: "Professor Qin, Director Yuan invites you in, but only you."
Xia Zhu quickly handed the tablet in his hand to Qin Haiyang.
After Qin Haiyang entered the meeting room, he found that only Director Yuan was there. It turned out that he was holding a video conference.
Qin Haiyang said straight to the point: "The reticulated python rescued by the Wildlife Research Center cannot be released into the wild and must be euthanized immediately!"
Director Yuan frowned slightly, but still said patiently: "Professor Qin, we have already discussed this matter in a meeting. At present, the Wildlife Research Center has decided to release it, but they will monitor this reticulated python 24 hours a day..."
"This reticulated python has mutated and has extremely strong lethality! Disregarding the safety of researchers and the normal survival of other creatures in nature for the sake of scientific experiments and data is simply playing with life!"
"But at present we don't have enough data to support this statement." Director Yuan said, turning on the projector and calling up some data. "These are sent by the research center. Take a look first."
Professor Qin raised his glasses and stared at the picture on the screen without blinking, looking at the text carefully, constantly sorting out the numbers in his mind.
These are naturally all observation data obtained from reticulated pythons that were rescued and kept in a research center. During the rescue period, except for the initial aggressive behavior towards humans, the reticulated pythons were almost always very obedient in cooperating with the treatment afterwards.
The most recent attack occurred before the New Year, and the attacker was Jiang Shiyan!
"They have already discussed and voted to release the reticulated python, and the time has been set. It will be in three days, and the process is almost complete." Director Yuan said in a deep voice, "This matter is almost irreversible."
Qin Haiyang took off his glasses, and a mocking smile flashed across his eyes.
"I recruited Xiao Jiang myself, so I naturally trust her. But as you know, our institute and research center are two independent units. I cannot provide convincing data, so I can only report the situation to them. The final decision still lies with them."
After a long while, Qin Haiyang said in a deep voice: "In that case, I would like a few quotas to participate in the release work."
"You can't go!" Director Yuan rejected it without saying a word.
"Don't worry, Director Yuan. I can still tell the difference between the important and the unimportant. I need to apply for a few special bodyguards from the institute to protect Jiang Shiyan's safety throughout the whole process. In addition, I also need a recorder..."
Although Qin Haiyang was extremely angry, he was still clear-headed. He was aware of the turmoil that would be caused if he rashly appeared in the public eye, and some countries might even use false charges to put pressure on China.
Even so, it doesn't mean that he will do nothing. As Jiang Shiyan said, he can only consider the worst-case scenario.
Jiang Shiyan must go, as this matter cannot be done without her, but Jiang Shiyan's safety must also be guaranteed!
Director Yuan looked at Qin Haiyang, who also narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, completely unafraid of the invisible pressure from his superior.
"I will give you a reply on this matter tomorrow." Director Yuan said in a deep voice.
Tan Haiyang nodded.
As he was leaving the office, he stopped with his hand on the door handle and looked back, his tone not as aggressive as before.
"Old Yuan, I have no children in my life, and I don't care about life and death. Now I have finally found such a good seedling. You have to protect her for me and let my family tradition continue..."
Director Yuan sighed secretly, and his tone softened a little: "This girl is also a unique talent in the field of zoology that I can find. Don't worry, I will value her without you saying it."
"Well, thank you."
Before the door to the conference room closed, a heartfelt thank you came in.
Director Yuan inadvertently looked down and saw the tablet that Qin Haiyang had left on the conference table. The tablet was not turned off, and the post about the giant python attacking the village that Jiang Shiyan had seen before was displayed.
Director Yuan's eyes fixed, and he immediately picked up the tablet...
