Chapter 96? ? ? ? (I)
Although Teacher Yunyun has many students all over the country, her career has hit its biggest low point ever because her teaching method is not suitable for marine life.
But through the patience and perseverance of the other private whale tutors, the three killer whales except Lola quickly mastered communication and hunting skills.
The little whale girl is still young and cannot participate in the hunt for the time being.
But she had very strong learning and hunting abilities. In just two months, she was able to communicate with all the whale groups in her own language.
Influenced by her brother, the whale language she is most proficient in is:
"Hmm~"
I’m hungry, I want to eat!
According to Fat Tiger’s personal experience, as long as you learn this sound, even if you can’t hunt, you can still bravely explore the five oceans~
[Chest and belly lifted.jpg]
The staff at the ocean rescue station were very pleased about this.
As Professor Yu Yiyun, a famous expert in animal protection, said:
To rescue wild animals, we should not move them from one cage to another, but let them truly return to nature.
However, returning to nature is not as simple as 'opening the cage door'.
To release wild animals, several important conditions must be met.
It can be roughly summarized by three elements: time, place, and protagonist.
When sending an animal home, try to choose a time that is best for the animal's survival.
Most animals in captivity find it difficult to adapt to harsh weather conditions immediately, and are likely to not survive severe droughts or cold weather.
The release site is mainly based on the animal's original habitat. Even if the habitat needs to be changed, an area with similar temperature, precipitation, and plant and animal species must be selected.
Prevent animals from being unable to adapt to the environment or causing devastating damage to the local food chain.
There are no such worries when releasing killer whales.
Fat Tiger has proven that killer whales have extremely strong adaptability.
As long as he was healthy and had enough food, he could swim from the North Pole to the South Pole, make a circle and swim back again.
Killer whales have 7-10 cm of subcutaneous fat, which is enough to fight against all harsh environments.
The fat of the little fat tiger is over the limit, and the fat thickness is estimated to be doubled. Even the coldest water in the world is like a bath to him.
Plus, killer whales have no natural enemies in the ocean.
Almost all animals that have something to do with the sea are listed in Gai Liuzi’s ancestral recipe book.
Except for the Sea of Japan and Bikini Atoll, there is no need to worry about any waters in the vast ocean being unsuitable for them to have fun.
When a rescue station releases killer whales, it mainly considers the condition of the killer whales themselves.
As long as the killer whales learn basic survival skills, get along with their own kind, and hunt, they will meet the standards for wildness.
In order to test whether the killer whales meet the standards, the rescue station staff took them to a sea area with a depth of about 300 meters to test the survival ability of the rescued killer whales.
This test not only concerns the fate of the 4.5 killer whales in the base, but also the more killer whales waiting for rescue behind them.
If killer whales and rescue organizations can jointly prove that even whales that have been held in captivity for many years still have domestic whales willing to protect and accompany them, they can still be accepted by the ocean.
Then, captive killer whales around the world and artificially bred killer whales may all be given a chance at a new life.
In order to increase its influence, the rescue base specially launched a live broadcast and invited friends from all over the world who care about killer whales to "supervise" online.
Invigilators from various countries were invited and attended on time, taking the exam very seriously.
Before the exam, they also voluntarily signed the "Examiner's Declaration", promising to mark the candidates fairly and openly.
——I will never change my scoring standards just because there is a cute deep-sea eggplant next to me, twisting its tail and whimpering.
Hill: “Hmm~!”
Invigilator: ...I'll let it cool down a little bit, should that be okay?
Before the exam even started, the impartial and strict invigilators had already begun to waver.
After Hill bribed all the examiners, the Chengjing University graduation examination officially began.
The rescue station arranged three projects, including surfacing and diving for breathing, activities in 200-meter deep water, and hunting.
Sister Whale, who took the exam by the way, did not have the last item.
After reading the exam schedule, netizens happily joked about "Subject One", "Subject Two" and "Subject Three".
After passing all the tests and obtaining the release license for the Orca semi-trailer, you can start sailing with the fins raised.
Most of the killer whales watching nearby could not understand what humans were planning to do by bringing their companions to the open ocean.
Bubble and Zhuangzhuang were about to swim over to play with little whale as usual, but were stopped by the little girl.
"Oh, oh, oh!" We must not disrupt the discipline in the examination room!
"Squeak?" Examination room?
"Chirp?" Discipline?
The two little killer whales didn't understand at all.
Yu Yiyun changed to a more understandable way and told them:
"Oh, oh, oh!" As long as they complete what humans ask them to do, they can play with you forever.
Bubble understood a little and asked if they could go anywhere they wanted.
"嘤!" Yes!
"Squeak~" Zhuangzhuang retreated obediently and shouted to the whale sister from a distance, asking her to quickly complete what humans asked her to do.
The young killer whales are at the age when they love to play and run wild, and they have long been bored with this sea area.
They want to see the big penguins in the Arctic, the polar bears in the Antarctic, and eat delicious herrings from somewhere unknown.
If little whale girl passes this thing called 'exam' soon, they can conquer the ocean together!
Yu Yijun listened to their excited chattering and was too lazy to correct small details like "there are no penguins in the Arctic".
With the common anticipation of Little Man Mi and Big Eggplant, the examination for the 'Killer Whale Half-Hanging Sea License' officially began.
First, conduct an ascent/descent assessment.
Over the past few months, through various teachings and close demonstrations from their companions, and considering that breathing is a survival skill for killer whales.
The rescued killer whale's breathing method gradually changed from horizontal to vertical.
After discovering that killer whales had learned to breathe, the base staff consciously made the rope nets larger to help them adapt to deeper oceans.
Now, all the rescued killer whales can skillfully float to the surface to breathe instead of swimming to shallow waters.
After passing the "Subject One" test, the keepers then signaled them to stay in the deep sea area and allow them to interact with their companions.
This project not only tests the killer whales' ability to adapt to deeper waters, but also tests how well they are accepted by their peers.
You know, whales have culture and language.
Once upon a time, someone observed a whale that always drifted alone in the ocean and never made any sound.
After tracking, scientists discovered that its sound frequency is 52HZ, which is different from the frequency band of other killer whales. Its sounds cannot be responded to, and over time it becomes a mute whale.
The audience in the barrage were still explaining to each other how lonely it was for whales that couldn't talk to their own kind. The big eggplants that had gathered together had already proved with their crazy sobbing that they were not dumb.
[What are you worried about? These eggplants are noisier than the pearl birds my friend gave me]
[…Baby Hill, why are you crying all the time? Are you a chatterbox? ]
[Bad mom, how can you say that Hill is a chatterbox? ! Some time ago, an expert who studies killer whale language specifically tracked Hill to collect sounds, and finally concluded: our baby Hill is acting as a translator in the sea~]
[Wow!!! Is Baby Hill so amazing? English students who are still unable to do simultaneous interpretation after passing the eighth level of professional English exams shed the tears of losers]
[Secretly, it’s not just us at Hill who can translate simultaneously. Laura’s second daughter, the little whale next to Hill, has also started to act as a messenger.]
[Okay, okay, it’s a stable job passed down from generation to generation, right? ]
[In short, with Hill and his sister here, there will be no lonely killer whales in the ocean~]
Even among the killer whales present, there were several different ecotypes.
Because the top translator Yu Yiyun worked so hard, the killer whales, who did not speak the same language, were able to chat.
Although the chatter is mostly meaningless.
"Eh?" What should I do in the exam?
"Oh!" Stay here.
"Chirp?" And then?
“Oh, oh, oh.” No, just stay here.
"Chirp." The little guy is so weird.
"Squeak." Yes, yes, what kind of exam is it to stay here?
"Hmm~" Water~
"Oh~" So deep!
The little whale was two years old. This was the first time she came to waters below 200 meters and she excitedly dived into the water.
“Oh!”
She asked her mother in a cute voice: Is this the ocean?
"......嘤." Laura fell into deep thought, unable to accurately answer her daughter's question.
"Buzz." It's the ocean.
Grandma told her gently but firmly:
"Buzz." From then on, wherever we went was ocean.
"Hmm~"
The little sister whale was even happier. She twisted her tail and swam to her grandma, rubbing her head against her broad pectoral fins.
Killer whales rarely show affection to each other by patting each other's heads.
But the little guy who is responsible for taking care of Sister Whale often strokes her head and praises her for being a good baby.
Over time, the little girl whale brought the habit of head touching back to the killer whale world, and often acted coquettishly with the big killer whale in this way.
My cousin swam over and touched the new baby in the family with her pectoral fins.
"Squeak~" You are really good at acting like a spoiled child, just like a little kid.
"Gugu!" The little guy is even more charming~
The little one who is 'more spoiled', sticks to her mother and mutters to her, trying to show her the same skill that college students are good at during finals week: cramming.
Although Laura completed the first two projects very beautifully.
But there were only a few months left, and Laura wanted to learn hunting from scratch, which was as difficult as a kindergarten child mastering quantum mechanics overnight.
Fortunately, Yu Yiyun had four lifetimes of hunting experience, and before the exam, he taught his mother how to take shortcuts and how to get away with it.
Finally, Chengjing University faced the last and most difficult exam: hunting.
Yu Yiyun originally thought that the rewilding test for killer whales should have unified standards like those for their distant relative, the South China tiger.
When the South China tiger is undergoing hunting tests, the rewilding team will prepare prey of roughly the same size, breed, and age to ensure the fairness of the test to the greatest extent possible.
But the rescue base wanted to confirm that every killer whale was truly capable of adapting to ocean life.
The staff spent a huge amount of money to go to their habitats and catch fresh and lively "staple food" as test materials.
In order to ensure that the candidates are not disturbed by other killer whales, each whale has an independent examination room.
The resident whale's hunting target is a few lively salmon.
The Antarctic killer whale's hunting target is a few hake that have wilted due to the high water temperature.
The North Atlantic Type 1 killer whale's hunting target was a few Atlantic herring.
However, the way Laura's hunting targets appear is different from other fish.
Other fish jumped out of a square tank.
Laura's hunting target was carried here on a jet boat.
When the water cabin door was opened, a white whale weighing 700 kilograms and full of energy appeared inside.
At its peak, the beluga whale’s weight can reach nearly two tons.
The selection of the 700-kilogram beluga whale was the result of the staff's deliberate release of water.
Even so, Laura's exam difficulty is still much higher than that of other whales!
The little beluga whale entered Laura's examination room and saw two killer whales, one big and one small. It was so scared that its body trembled.
Finding that Laura was more scared than himself, the white whale instantly gained confidence and began to swim in circles in front of them.
"Hmm..."
When Laura saw the white whale getting closer and closer to her, she subconsciously wanted to ask her mother and sister for help.
When they turned around, they found that they were blocked outside by the rope net and could only swim around anxiously, just like all the parents waiting for their children to leave the examination room.
“Oh!”
Fat Tiger responded loudly to his mother, encouraging her to be brave!
As long as she catches a white whale and proves her hunting ability, she will be able to return to the sea.
When Laura heard the baby's voice, she finally plucked up the courage and slowly approached the beluga whale.
The beluga whale is still young and has not yet learned to fear killer whales.
Seeing that Laura was approaching, it not only did not hide, but also observed her curiously from a close distance.
At the same time, three other killer whales have passed hunting tests and demonstrated sufficient ability to survive in the ocean.
All the pressure was on Laura.
"Hmm~"
The little whale following behind her mother screamed.
Because Whale Sister's separation anxiety was too severe, and Lola had PTSD from mother-child separation, she couldn't accept her daughter leaving her sight.
The staff took into consideration that it was impossible for the little beluga whale to kill its two-year-old sister, and made an exception to allow her to take the test.
Logically speaking, a two-year-old killer whale is still drinking milk, which is of no help in hunting.
Unexpectedly, after the little whale screamed, she bravely rushed towards the white whale.
The little beluga whale weighs only 700 kilograms, but its actual age is half a year older than the little whale.
Moreover, it has lived in the ocean since childhood, so it is knowledgeable and has richer experience in all aspects.
The little beluga whale not only skillfully dodged the attack from its sister whale, but also turned over and turned its head with incredible flexibility.
Among all whales, the beluga whale has the most flexible neck and is the only whale that has the "shaking head" skill.
It opened its mouth wide, ready to bite the whale sister's pectoral fin.
Laura discovered the white whale's intention and, driven by her maternal instinct, she immediately swam over as fast as she could, and the waves she stirred up made the white whale miss its bite.
Realizing that her daughter is threatened, Laura's talent as a 'top hunter' is finally awakened!
She followed what Fat Tiger had taught her before the test and began to circle around the white whale at high speed, blowing bubbles to create waves.
Confused by the whirlpool and bubble smoke bombs, the white whale initially didn't know what the big eggplant of the ocean was going to do.
After a while, it felt as if it was thrown into a washing machine. Its head began to feel dizzy and it temporarily lost the ability to move.
The white whale wanted to escape, but it was surrounded by smoke bombs created by Laura, making it unable to find its direction.
In confusion, Laura opened her mouth towards it, and then...
She gently held the beluga whale's tail, without using too much force, and dragged it along the current to the camera set up underwater at the rescue station.
"Hmm~" I caught it!
Lola was afraid that humans wouldn't be able to see clearly, so she turned from one camera to another, showing her prey from all angles.
The little beluga whale whose tail was bitten was a little confused at first.
I found that Laura didn't intend to bite me to death, but just carried me around in her mouth.
It gradually relaxed, and even called out along with Laura, as if it was saying loudly:
"I've been caught~!"
[Little Angel Lola, woooo ...
[I have a question, does this count as a successful hunt? ]
[Of course! This is not the first time that the North Atlantic Type 2 whales have done this. Photographers have previously captured them catching baby sea lions as training objects. After the training, they will send the baby sea lions back to the coast without eating them. The rescue team just responded that they will send the baby beluga whale home after the test.]
[I have a new understanding of killer whales. They are really gentle and powerful animals. I hope they can survive well in the ocean.]
[Sisters, there is something wrong with Laura! ]
[Woc! Little Angel Lola looks like she is running out of oxygen?!]
In order to catch the beluga whale, Lola blew out a lot of bubbles, causing a large amount of air in her lungs to be consumed.
After the successful hunt, she held the beluga whale in her mouth and showed it off everywhere, without floating to the surface to breathe immediately.
The hypoxia reaction gradually worsened, and Laura, based on her instinct over the past twenty years, planned to swim to shallow water to breathe.
After swimming for a while, she found that she was surrounded by ropes and nets. She was so anxious that she lost her mind and turned around in circles in the ocean, crying.
The staff noticed this phenomenon and immediately prepared to dive underwater and use equipment to assist Laura's breathing.
Before the staff could take action, the sand sculpture passing whale broke the rope net in a few moves, and Fat Tiger and grandma immediately got in and spit out large bubbles containing air.
The rest of the whales came in one after another, swam under Laura, and lifted the big killer whale to the surface.
Laura felt her body gradually floating upwards, and finally realized that the present was different from before.
——I returned to the ocean.
Lola regained her senses and began to float to the surface under her own strength, with fountains emitting from her blowholes.
The keeper saw Lola surface, clasped his hands together and muttered "Thank God".
After Laura finished the assessment, all the killer whales' exams were over, and they only had to wait for the chief judge to announce the results.
I saw him carefully reviewing the videos, scoring them one by one with a board, and constantly discussing with other researchers.
Frankly speaking, based on Lola's final performance, it was difficult for researchers to determine that she met the criteria for release.
However, the scene in the end where all the killer whales worked together to lift up Laura was too shocking.
Finally, the presiding judge announced:
"I have to tell you that releasing Lola back into the ocean is risky."
"Hmm..."
Before the people around her could react, Laura understood first and looked up at her in frustration.
"but……"
She looked at Laura.
"You are the overlord of the ocean. You have the ability to fight against all risks."
"Clear the Internet cafe."
For more than a year, the rope net has separated the killer whales from the ocean, like an indestructible Berlin Wall.
However, there is no wall in the world that cannot be torn down!
The killer whales jumped over the rope net and clung to each other happily.
A few eye-catching bags jumped high out of the water and somersaulted in the air, causing the audience to exclaim "This is not better than an aquarium."
The staff laughed with relief, leaned on the edge of the boat and asked, "My dear, do you want me to take you back to your habitat?"
“Oh, oh, oh!” Yu Yiyun refused repeatedly.
Although he believed that the little people had no ill intentions, sending the killer whales back to their habitat by boat would mean keeping them in a cramped water tank for several months.
Thanks for the invitation, I declined.
Lola and the resident whale were lucky to have family members around.
Although the other two whales did not encounter domestic whales, the habitat of the Type 1 whales was right next to the Type 2 killer whales, so they were sent back along the way.
Antarctic killer whales may seem far away, but many Antarctic killer whales come to waters near the equator to molt.
As long as Fat Tiger whines a little more and acts a little coquettishly, they will definitely be happy to send the lost killer whale home.
Fat Tiger arranged the follow-up matters, twisted his tail and walked towards Laura, and suddenly felt a familiar sense of sleepiness.
Killer whales have a unique method of half-brain sleep, so they don't need to actually sleep.
Yu Yiyun immediately realized what this sleepiness meant.
He did not panic, but tried to cheer himself up and finished the last two sentences.
“Hmm.”
Welcome home, Laura.
besides……
Welcome home, Hill.
Before completely losing consciousness, Yu Yiyun seemed to hear a faint but clear response.
“Hmm.”
.
Yu Yiyun opened her eyes again, her mind filled with one thought, and she didn't even bother to let the Voice of the World finish its words.
[Congratulations on learning basic survival skills. Mission accomplished. As a reward for completing the mission well...]
"Wait, I don't want a reward."
Yu Yiyun hurriedly interrupted the voice of the world.
"I have one condition!"
[……]
The Voice of the World fell silent, as if questioning him, "Why do you make conditions with me?"
Yu Yiyun continued to speak, "I want to leave the reward from the last mission to Hill."
Over the past two and a half years, Yu Yijun has made countless promises on behalf of Hill.
We will go to the North Coast to catch sea lions, go to the Arctic to compete to see who can take the longest photo of seals, and tell baby whales about their ocean adventures...
If Hill could no longer talk to his companions, not only would he be lonely, but all the killer whales in the ocean would be lonely.
[Sorry, I cannot meet this condition based on your current performance.]
Yu Yiyun's eyelids twitched violently, and he had a bad feeling.
[Unless you are willing to accept a small survival test before the next mission begins.]
“…Tsk.”
Yu Yiyun gritted his teeth, held back his curse words, and nodded in humiliation.
The next second, he heard the tone of the system issuing the task clearly rising, with the joy of a successful calculation.
[The fifth task is independence.]
"independent?!"
After the "beating" in the previous world, Yu Yiyun did not dare to underestimate any task that sounded simple.
and--
Yu Yiyun, who has been a mama's boy tiger, mama's boy wolf, mama's boy lion, and mama's boy whale, once again confirmed:
"Are you... sure you want me to be independent?"
[Confirmed. And during the mission, you will not receive any preferential treatment.]
The Voice of the World finished speaking and threw out two words perfunctorily:
[come on. ]
After half-heartedly refueling, Yu Yijun regained consciousness and saw that everything in front of him was still white.
What's going on?
Is there a bug?
Yu Yiyun thought that he had not yet left the space of the World's Voice, so he moved tentatively and found that this white world was curved.
To be precise, it is an ellipsoid.
His entire body was trapped inside the sphere and was rapidly losing temperature due to the cold.
At the same time, the tender cries of baby birds rang in my ears.
It sounds crisp and powerful, and has been hatching for two days.
In a flash, Yu Yiyun thought of the "small survival test" mentioned by Voice of the World.
Judging from the current situation, I am an egg.
A bird's egg.
Bird birth is different from mammal birth in that not all babies are born at once.
Some birds lay an egg every other day, while others lay an egg every two or three days.
When encountering a bird that lays a lot of eggs, the first egg and the last egg may be laid more than half a month apart.
The result is that the chick from the first egg has already started to grow quills, while the last egg is still just one egg.
Late-laid eggs have a lower chance of hatching, and in seasons with food scarcity, even if they hatch successfully, they may not survive.
Therefore, experienced big birds will stop "sitting and lying" after hatching the first few eggs and give up on hatching.
When Yu Yiyun thought of this, various regional delicacies emerged in her mind.
What about 'steamed eggs' and 'live tea leaves'...
Help, help!
Yu Yiyun, who didn't want to become a live bead, used the strength she had when eating dried fish to roll 0.5 centimeters and sent herself to...
Under the butt of the two-day-old chick, she forcibly transformed him into a male mother.
The eldest brother is like a mother, it makes sense~
