The rise of nanometers

After walking for half an hour and eating pine flower cakes, Zhao Tiezhu arrived at the forest protection work station of the nature reserve in the southwest of Xinshan Town.

In addition to the forest ranger workstation, there is also the Southwest Wildlife Research Station - 6085 Biological Research Station. The research station has 27 staff members, while the forest ranger workstation has 47 staff members.

In addition, next door is the forest police workstation, with 15 forest police stationed all year round, and a meteorological and geological workstation with 12 staff members.

Zhao Tiezhu greeted Lao Qin, the janitor, and went to the small canteen to have breakfast. The canteens of the four workstations were in the same place. In fact, they also had to cooperate with each other in their daily work.

The staple food for breakfast is steamed buns and rice porridge, and the side dishes are salted eggs, poached eggs, fried mushrooms, fried sweet potato leaves, fried pure meat sausage, black pepper veal steak, and the fruit is ugly orange.

Zhao Tiezhu, who was on the field today, took two steamed buns, poached eggs, fried mushrooms and black pepper veal steak, and then poured a large cup of mango leaf tea.

"Huh..." After taking a sip of tea, he ate it quickly.

A young man also packed some food and sat aside: "Good morning, Uncle Zhao!"

Zhao Tiezhu raised his head and found that it was Bai Hao, a ranger from the same team: "Didn't you say you were going to study?"

Bai Hao took a sip of tea and shook his head with a smile: "It has been rescheduled. Beitong Town and Wenfeng Town are relatively short of manpower, so we have arranged the people there first."

"Uh? Are they the two towns that just merged recently?"

Bai Hao nodded, picked up the spicy pork sausage and took a bite. He had been eating starch sausage for more than ten years. At first, he was not used to eating pure meat sausage.

But gradually, he fell in love with this kind of pure meat sausage produced by Fengmin Agriculture, especially for rangers who had to climb mountains and wade in rivers. Eating meat made it easier to cope with hunger, and Bai Hao became even stronger than before.

After a while, he and Zhao Tiezhu destroyed a large plate of food.

It was almost 7:40 at this time.

They went to the equipment room and began to put on the exoskeleton armor, and then checked various supporting equipment. The rangers who were on field duty in the morning, a total of 10 people, were divided into two groups.

In addition to the rangers, two forest police officers were involved in each team.

After all, their town is close to Hongsawady and Tianzhu, so smuggling, drug trafficking, smuggling, and poaching happen from time to time.

The rangers and forest police met, and the 14 people were divided into two groups. The forest police were equipped with exoskeleton armor, assault rifles and grenades.

The rangers' field work exoskeletons actually have quite a lot of protection. They can at least avoid being bitten by venomous snakes or resist large predators.

For example, Zhao Tiezhu chose a machete. Forest rangers are allowed to be equipped with cold weapons, such as machetes, engineering shovels, fire axes, and spears, just in case.

In the dense mountain forests of the southwest, there is great danger without cold weapons. Especially in recent years, domestic environmental protection has paid more attention to it, which has led to the recovery of the number of wild animals in the wild.

There are wild boars and pythons in the mountains. In fact, cold weapons are not necessarily safe. It is best to have an assault rifle at hand.

The patrol set off and moved forward quickly towards a path they had walked before. Thanks to the assistance of the exoskeleton, the group's traveling speed was not slow and could reach about 5 to 12 kilometers per hour.

They did not return to Xinshan Town at noon. Instead, they crossed the mountain forest of the reserve and arrived at Gaoshi Town on the other side of the reserve. They rested at the forest ranger station in Gaoshi Town for an afternoon, and finally took the tram back.

This working mode is also the norm for forest ranger patrols.

Of course, it is also common if something happens along the way that delays the work and exceeds the field work hours.

Although they are in dense jungle, they can still contact the ranger station through satellite communication.

As Bai Hao walked, he observed the animals and plants in the mountains and forests. His work was more scientific research. The exoskeleton was equipped with several ultra-high-definition cameras to take pictures of the surrounding animals and plants.

The system will identify the characteristics of animals and plants based on the image data and the database, thereby determining what animals and plants they are.

If they encounter plants or animals that are not in the database, rangers need to stop and collect complete data and samples.

Therefore, when choosing a route, they also tried their best to visit areas that had not been searched before to find out how many wild animals and plants there were in the area.

In less than two years since the forest range station was established, they have discovered 7 species of wild animals and plants that were not recorded in the database through this kind of blanket search.

Across the Southwest, new species of wildlife are being discovered in increasing numbers, thanks to daily patrols by ranger stations.

Discovering a new species brings not only honors to rangers and rangers, but also naming rights and a series of rewards.

Why are we paying more and more attention to nature conservation and the discovery of new species?

This is related to domestic biochemical research. The genes, organic matter and biological structures of new species are actually very precious natural resources.

These genes, organic matter, and biological structures were formed by the Blue Star ecology over hundreds of millions of years. After years of tempering and precipitation, they have greater potential value than human industrial products.

Especially when it comes to transgenic technology, humans need a rich gene pool. After all, transgenics are not about fabricating genes out of thin air, but about inserting gene fragments from one species into the gene sequence of another species.

A rich gene pool can provide more choices for genetically modified projects.

In addition to genes, the organic matter and biological structures in these new species are also an important basis for discovering new compounds and conducting bionic engineering.

Fengmin Agriculture has been funding the collection of biological resources and has established a series of incentive mechanisms in order to obtain more biological resources.

As the forest ranger patrol moved on, Zhao Tiezhu wielded his machete and split open vines, shrubs and branches.

There was a small valley ahead, and everyone's walking speed slowed down. As they advanced, the sound of running water not far away could be heard.

Two forest policemen were watching the surroundings along the way to see if there were any traces of human activities. People are not allowed to enter the nature reserve at will.

Even if you are picking mushrooms, you have to go to the forest area inside the agricultural area. This kind of purely natural reserve is not allowed to enter.

Arriving in the valley, one of the forest policemen took out a small bag from his backpack.

After a while, a miniature airship floated upward. This was a reconnaissance airship. The new version of the reconnaissance airship used a nuclear decay battery and could work in the field for a long time.

The reconnaissance airship is equipped with infrared detectors, Doppler detectors, ultra-high-definition cameras, and ultra-sensitive sound wave detectors.

If you want to escape detection by a reconnaissance airship, even professional spies must be careful, let alone those who have not received professional training.

The detection work went very smoothly. The wind was not strong today. After there were no problems, the forest police started the automatic flight mode of the airship according to the planned route.

They continued toward the valley on the west side.

Washed by the water of the mountain stream, the stones on the shore are very smooth. Fortunately, they are equipped with exoskeletons so that they can walk quickly in this terrain.

After more than an hour, they saw a dilapidated mountain village not far away and a concrete road covered with weeds and vines.

This was one of the former hometowns of Xinshan Town residents. After the villagers moved out, it was abandoned.

Humans have only left here less than two years ago, and weeds and vines have quickly swallowed up all traces of humans. Maybe in more than ten years, there will be no traces of humans here anymore.
