Chapter 238 Found (big chapter 16300 words, seeking silver...(1/9)
"Click..."
"You guys should pay more attention these days..."
"Did you hear that? The price of chinchilla fur is crazy right now. It's worth more than the gold mines we dug!"
“I’m giving an order to all the miners not to mine any more recently, and I’m going to go out to look for chinchillas!”
"Don't let one go!"
Eugene crushed a dead branch and said in a deep voice to several of his men:
"The whole of Europe has gone crazy... I never thought that Her Majesty the Queen would like that fur coat so much!"
"All the aristocratic ladies are spending a lot of money to buy chinchilla coats. This is definitely an opportunity to make a fortune!"
"If we can make one, we will not only gain endless wealth, but it will also play a vital role in mining gold mines in the future!"
"yes!"
"Sir Eugene, we understand. Let's go and order the local miners to definitely find traces of the chinchilla in advance!"
An old man who looked like a housekeeper bowed slightly, turned around and walked towards the mine in the distance.
"hey-hey……"
Eugene looked at the mountains and forests in the distance and grinned.
When chinchilla coats became popular throughout Europe, he was the first person to come to this place, and he had already seized the opportunity. Although the number of chinchillas is now very rare,... as long as he can find a few,
The hair on each one is worth the price of gold.
There were also several people standing together in the distance. Looking at Eugene in the distance, Mark licked his lips and said with a solemn expression on his face:
"We must act quickly. These capitalists may hunt this chinchilla to extinction!"
"If we stop it, I'm afraid there is no hope for the few of us!"
"But... I have a bold idea. If we can take a few chinchillas here and cultivate them artificially, then can we..."
"Mark, are you crazy? The climate there is completely different from here. Maybe they will die on the road if you don't take them back. Each one is worth a sky-high price. You can only peel off their fur when they are at their healthiest.
, will have the highest value. If we take them all back and die, then we..."
A blond woman next to him immediately frowned and retorted.
"No, you don't understand!"
Mark turned to look at the companions beside him and said in a deep voice:
"We are all here to dig for gold, but the current situation is that there are only 6 of us in total. How can we be the opponents of those miners? They search in the mountains and forests too fast!"
"I have a way. If it succeeds, it will not only allow this species to multiply, but also bring you endless wealth!"
"Believe me, you only need a few. Once the cultivation is successful, how many chinchillas will you harvest? Have you ever thought about it?"
As soon as these words came out, several people standing aside fell into deep thought.
Now the fur of each chinchilla has been sold to a sky-high price, and...their number is getting smaller and smaller. It is not difficult to imagine that with everyone hunting, it is only a matter of time before this animal disappears
, then...if they can really breed chinchillas, then...
"I agree, this risk is worth taking, and the benefits are endless!"
"But breeding is probably very difficult, and... if we want to get a few breeding chinchillas at this time, the price we have to pay is definitely not low!"
"You can give it a try. If it succeeds, we people will have mastered this creature. Then... the whole world will need to buy chinchillas from us!"
In just a few minutes, Mark watched the group of investors in front of him agree without hesitation.
The benefits are simply too great.
It can be said that once successful, the wealth gained is endless.
"call……"
Taking a deep breath, Mark turned his head and looked at the distant mountains and forests.
If this species can be continued in this way, then it is not a good idea.
Although it will still be hunted by humans if raised in the future, it is still better than disappearing in this place forever!
From the moment they set foot in this place, Mark felt extremely uncomfortable watching the plight of those little guys who were skinned and killed.
After thinking about it for a few days, I finally came up with this compromise.
However, it was only possible to cooperate with the few people in front of me. The other gold mine bosses would not agree at all. They only cared about the immediate interests, and...it was only because the chinchilla became popular for a while that they
They will order an arrest. If this kind of thing is no longer of such high value, they will still go back to the mines.
As for whether these animals will become extinct, it has nothing to do with them.
They don't care at all.
…
"Bang……"
Su Bai carried his backpack and carefully searched for it in the crevices of the rocks.
From time to time, his eyes glanced at the group of miners in front of him.
After arriving at this place, after some understanding, Su Bai finally understood which period this was.
If the data for the current year does not show errors.
There should be only 11 chinchillas left in the whole place at this time.
It was at this time that 11 chinchillas were purchased by a team at a large cost, and the artificial breeding of chinchillas began.
From that time on, all wild chinchillas disappeared.
Although these people can be regarded as saving this lovely species in disguise, but... in the future, they may not have imagined that because of artificial breeding, the number of chinchillas being killed will be even more horrifying than before.
Once almost all chinchillas reach adulthood, if they are not sold as pets, they will definitely be sold as leather goods.
I have to say, this is also a kind of sadness.
Countless people only focus on the value of this cute animal and never consider whether they can be returned to nature.
So Su Bai also joined the team searching for Totoro.
Together with these miners, we kept rummaging through the cracks in the rocks.
【My Neighbor Totoro? What is this? A kind of cat?】
[However, looking at the situation in the live broadcast room, it seems that the living conditions of this animal are also very difficult...so many people are hunting and killing it!]
[@librarian, please look for information on this animal, chinchilla...]
[Looking at Director Su Bai's appearance, he seems to be very anxious... We have been searching for a whole day, and so many people have not found even one. This shows how far this animal has been hunted!
】
[Yes, this is the place we can see. I’m afraid there may be more people in the invisible place! 】
[Every time I watch the predators in Principal Su Bai’s live broadcast, I want to rush in and strangle them to death. It’s so abominable...]
…
After Su Bai landed, the moment the live broadcast room opened, everyone was following him. They watched as Su Bai followed this group of miners to search for a whole day, but found nothing at all.
This couldn't help but shock everyone.
I'm afraid that this animal called "My Neighbor Totoro" is likely to become extinct soon, or has even become extinct.
Otherwise, after so many people have been searching for so long, not to mention finding a chinchilla, not even a trace of the chinchilla has been found.
While condemning the predators, many water friends were also worried about Su Bai.
Looking at the current situation, everyone is looking for Totoro.
That……
They couldn't imagine what would happen if they found one.
Faced with so many ferocious miners, how should Director Su Bai save this animal?
"Bang……"
Pushing a stone aside from his feet, Su Bai panted and sat down, called up the live broadcast and took a look, and then said with a smile:
"Don't worry, everyone, chinchillas are definitely not extinct, but...the number has indeed become very rare!"
"Chinchilla is actually also known as chinchilla... it is not a cat, but a rodent. In fact, it looks... a very unique animal, and... it is very cute."
"Wild chinchillas are timid by nature and are also gregarious animals, but..."
As he spoke, Su Bai had a solemn expression on his face.
"Looking at the current situation, there should be no group of chinchillas left. I'm afraid the remaining ones are avoiding human hunting."
"The reason why so many people are crazy about catching chinchillas has a lot to do with the hair on chinchillas."
"At one time, the indigenous people here only hunted some chinchillas for food. It was not until later that more humans landed on this continent and discovered the precious fur of this animal called chinchilla, and then they began to
To be continued...
