Chapter 372 Endangered Animal Protection Program
Xia Xiaoman sighed, walked towards home, and planned to build an igloo to live in temporarily like everyone else.
"Xiaoman, wait a moment." Chen Peiqiong hooked her finger at her.
Xia Xiaoman walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Peiqiong lowered her voice and said, "When I was in the underground city, I saw Wang Shijin."
"Wang Shijin? I haven't heard from him for a long time. How is he doing?"
"He's fine, much stronger than before." Chen Peiqiong said, "Wang Shijin said that the underground city we live in this time is almost completed, and they are currently doing the finishing work. They built a new underground city some time ago, and some of the survivors were transferred to the newly built underground city this time."
If a new underground city had not been built, with so many survivors in the garrison, it would not be possible to relocate them all.
Xia Xiaoman was delighted when he heard this. "This is a great event. If there are two dungeons, then our chances of entering the dungeon will be much greater."
Chen Peiqiong nodded and said, "But don't be too happy too soon. The new dungeon has only completed the framework, and other projects have not yet been completed. According to the construction speed of the first dungeon, it will take at least a year to complete." And the meteorite shower will come in less than half a year.
Xia Xiaoman said: "Even if there is a framework, it's not bad. As long as this framework can withstand the turmoil caused by natural disasters, everything else will not be a problem."
"That's right. At most, the living environment will be a little more difficult, which is better than being killed by a meteorite shower."
After Chen Peiqiong finished speaking, she added, "There is one more thing. Wang Shijin told me that from now on, all dungeons will use points, and trading points will no longer be bartering like before."
"And in the future, when you enter the dungeon, you can only bring 200 kilograms of supplies with you. If the weight exceeds 200 kilograms, you will be charged extra. So Wang Shijin asked us to exchange all the extra supplies for points."
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "The supplies you carry with you? Then how do we count my eggs?"
"I asked Wang Shijin about this question for you. He said that the hairy eggs are a special protected animal in the current environment. You can choose to hand the hairy eggs directly to the authorities. They will not charge you a penny and will also reward you with some points."
As soon as Chen Peiqiong finished speaking, Xia Xiaoman refused: "I can't hand over the eggs. Is there any other way to bring the eggs into the dungeon?"
Chen Peiqiong shook her head. "There are only a few decent wolves in Xia Country right now. Your Maodan is a rare animal. As long as you bring it into the dungeon, the authorities will know of Maodan's existence. In order to allow the snow wolves to reproduce, they will most likely deprive you of your custody rights. This is unavoidable."
Xia Xiaoman's face darkened. "Is there no other way?"
Chen Peiqiong thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any good ideas, but you can look for Doctor Hu. Doctor Hu knows a lot of people, maybe she can help you."
"You need to resolve this matter quickly. There is less than half a year left until the meteor shower. When the meteor shower occurs, no matter how unwilling you are, Maodan will be taken away from you by force."
"I'm going to see Doctor Hu now. I'll leave first." After saying that, she took Maodan to Hu Ying Clinic.
Hu Ying's clinic was also buried by the snow, but the government took the initiative to dispatch people to help Hu Ying clear the clinic. When Xia Xiaoman rushed to Hu Ying's clinic, Hu Ying was having people light a brazier in the clinic to drive out the cold air.
Hu Ying saw Xia Xiaoman coming over and took her to a room that had just been cleaned. "No one comes to see me for no reason. The cold wave has just passed, why are you in such a hurry to come to me? What's the matter?"
Xia Xiaoman went straight to the point and repeated to Hu Ying what Chen Peiqiong had just said.
Hu Ying looked at her and said, "You are well-informed. The endangered species protection plan has just been released and you have received the news."
The shelter that Xia Nation wants to build is not just for supplies and humans. If there are only survival supplies in the shelter, then this shelter is no different from a cage.
The underground cities across the country were built with reference to the capital's underground city. The capital's underground city has nine floors. The first floor is used to grow food and raise livestock, and the second floor is used to build various factories. The eighth floor is the headquarters of the military and the government, as well as a place for soldiers to train and rest. The ninth floor is the core forbidden area that maintains the normal operation of the underground city.
The third to seventh floors in the middle are where the survivors live, and each floor has necessary facilities such as hospitals and schools, and of course, a zoo.
These zoos are different from those before the disaster. In the past, zoos kept animals in captivity for people to watch. However, the zoos in the underground city raised many endangered animals to reproduce and restore the ecological chain before the disaster.
When future technology can repair the damaged ozone layer, they can release these animals into the outside world and restore the blue planet to its previous appearance.
The capital originally planned to leave a floor empty to house endangered animals, but they could only find so few endangered animals that it would be a waste of space to leave a floor empty for these animals.
Therefore, they decided to build a zoo in each living area. The zoo can use projection technology to loop and play the habits of each animal, so that people who come to watch can understand these animals. If the survivors encounter these animals in the future, they will know how to raise these endangered animals.
The endangered animal protection plan has long been implemented in the capital, but it has just been announced in Fucheng.
The reason why the endangered species protection plan was released so late is that many people are opposed to wasting resources to raise endangered animals.
Opponents believe that the damage to the ozone layer cannot be repaired overnight. By the time the ozone layer is successfully repaired, Xia Guo may have found another planet suitable for human survival in the vast universe.
Instead of wasting time and effort raising these inedible animals, it is better to focus on the spaceship. Build a spaceship that can carry hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of people, and take all the survivors to escape from the blue planet.
But the new mayor Yu Jie doesn't think so. The spaceship needs to be built, but this does not conflict with the repair of the blue planet.
If possible, no one wants to give up the Blue Planet and go to a strange and unknown planet. Besides, it is still unknown whether we can find a planet suitable for human beings.
So in order to restore the blue planet as quickly as possible in the future, they need to plant plants and save endangered animals, and neither can be delayed.
