"Excuse me, what specific animals and plants do you need?" Seeing Zhao Yuan's happy face, the man suddenly realized something was wrong. After all, this long-haired young man is a cultivator with powerful magic. If it were just ordinary animals and plants, naturally
No need to look for him.
"I have a detailed list here." Zhao Yuan opened the notebook he carried with him.
"..."
The man just glanced at it, his whole body turned to stone, and then he turned the pages with a stiff expression.
Is this "some" flora and fauna?
According to statistics from zoologists, there are currently about 1.5 million species of animals known on the earth.
Animals can be divided into two categories: vertebrates and invertebrates.
Vertebrates have a spine composed of many vertebrae on the back of their bodies, and are generally larger in size; invertebrates have no spine, and most individuals are very small, but there are many types, accounting for more than 90% of the entire animal species. For example, flies and mosquitoes
, grasshoppers, butterflies and other insects are invertebrates.
Vertebrates can be divided into five major groups: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Fish are the largest group of vertebrates, including seawater fish and freshwater fish, with a total of 25,000 to 30,000 species, such as carp, goldenrod, etc.
Fish, etc. There are more than 2,000 species of amphibians, such as frogs, etc. There are more than 3,000 species of reptiles, such as snakes, turtles, crocodiles, etc. There are 9,000 species of birds, such as pigeons, sparrows. There are more than 4,500 species of mammals, such as horses,
Ox, lion, tiger, etc...
If the piece of data recorded on Zhao Yuan's laptop is enough to make a man have a nervous breakdown, then the following plant data record makes the man want to die.
Plants on Earth include familiar organisms such as trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, ferns, lichens, and green algae. Among seed plants, bryophytes, ferns, and pseudopteridophytes, it is estimated that there are approximately 350,000 species in existence.
species. As of 2004, 287,655 species had been identified, including 258,650 species of flowering plants and 15,000 species of bryophytes...
…
"Do you want all of these?" The man looked at Zhao Yuan with dull eyes.
"Some pests are not needed, such as mosquitoes that do not affect the ecological balance... However, many animals and plants will not be needed for the time being, but you must be prepared. Also, I need a group of two thousand people.
Scientific research team..."
"A scientific research team of two thousand people...what is it studying?" The man's eyes were dull again.
"Mainly studying geography, climate and soil."
"You mean that there is a deserted place that needs a large number of animal and botanical gardens to breed, so that scientific researchers can find suitable living places for animals and plants?" The man immediately drew inferences.
"Yes!" Zhao Yuan was overjoyed when he saw that the man understood what he meant.
"Except for some extremely rare animals and plants, most of the animals and plants on the earth are easy to obtain. However, we also have some difficulties. I'm afraid..."
"What's the problem?"
"Mr. Zhao, how much manpower and material resources are needed to collect hundreds of thousands of animals and plants from all over the world to City C? Moreover, according to your requirements, some animals and plants need to reproduce to form an ecological environment, and the required population size is also very large, which cannot be achieved
Forming inbreeding. If it is only in China, once it is involved abroad, a lot of legal procedures need to be completed. In fact, it is impossible to go through legal procedures for many rare animals and plants, so they can only be smuggled. If smuggling is done, it will require a lot of manpower and material resources.
It will be multiplied again.”
"Also, according to the information you provided, it is necessary to choose a suitable environment for hundreds of thousands of animals and plants. Even as an outsider, I can see that a scientific research institution with 2,000 people is far from enough. These project topics require
The funds are absolutely astronomical and are completely beyond our authority." The man smiled bitterly.
"Is it a money problem?" Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. For him, although money is a problem, at least it is not an unsolvable problem.
"There are many unknown difficulties, but funding is the main problem. Although our department has great power, in terms of funding..." There was a trace of embarrassment on the man's face.
"How much do you estimate it will cost?" Zhao Yuan interrupted the man.
"I'm not an expert in this field, but I can make a rough estimate based on the data you provided. For example, the total number of animals and plants you need now reaches 400,000. Even if one category only costs 1,000 yuan, it will cost 400 million.
, and in fact, one thousand is not enough at all. Can you imagine how much it costs to airlift a group of elephants from Africa? This does not include the cost of acquiring elephants. In addition, some large plants also need to be airlifted...
"
Faced with such huge data, the man didn't know how to calculate it. Finally, he came up with a rough figure.
The funds required to collect all animals and plants, plus the expenses of scientific researchers, require at least more than 500 billion. Moreover, this figure requires the cooperation of various functional departments, otherwise it may increase exponentially.
Five hundred billion yuan!
Zhao Yuan looked at the series of zeros calculated on his notebook. Even though he had no specific concept of RMB, he knew that this was definitely not a small expense.
"If it's tens of millions, I can still help, but if it involves an astronomical figure of 500 billion, I can't do anything." The man sighed, "Why does Mr. Zhao need so many animals and plants?"
"It's complicated."
Naturally, it was inconvenient for Zhao Yuan to say that he was running his own Lingtai world.
Even if Zhao Yuan said it, men wouldn't be able to understand it.
In fact, not only men cannot understand it, but even some ancient gods cannot understand it.
Usually, the reproduction of life in the Lingtai world requires a long evolutionary process. During this process, animals and plants will continue to reproduce and evolve to adapt to the living environment...
Zhao Yuan used the power of science to manage the world of Lingtai, which is unprecedented and unprecedented.
"I will solve the funding problem myself. You should make preliminary preparations first."
"Okay. By the way, Mr. Zhao, my surname is Ding. I am the responsible person of Working Group E. Everyone calls me Team Leader Ding. From now on, I will be fully responsible for your affairs. This is my contact information." The man handed it to Zhao Yuan.
A business card without any title, just a phone number and email address.
"Working Group E, it seems that there are also Working Groups A, B, and C." Zhao Yuan took the business card and took a look.
"Ahem..."
"Okay, Mr. Ding, tell me your requirements."
"We need a complete cultivation method, and it is a method suitable for people on earth. In addition, we hope that Mr. Zhao can tell us the secrets of the cultivation world in detail, and we will also share information with Mr. Zhao. Finally, we hope that Mr. Zhao can
Cultivate some cultivators for us."
"Okay! I will compile a piece of information for you during this period. In addition, I will arrange for more candidates. I need to select a group of people with good qualifications."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, we will make arrangements soon!" Team leader Ding was overjoyed when he saw that Zhao Yuan had no objections.
"Team Leader Ding, that's the decision. You should make arrangements as soon as possible."
"OK."
…
"Bang" the door opened.
"Zhao Yuan, I want a Bugatti Veyron..."
Zhao Yuan, who was racking his brains on how to raise funds, had just entered the door when Fairy Caixia flew into his arms like a baby bird throwing itself into the forest.
“What is a Bugatti Veyron?”
Zhao Yuan couldn't help but was stunned. This was the first time he saw the charming and naive side of Fairy Caixia. In his impression, Fairy Caixia had always been as cold as ice, with an indifference that could repel people thousands of miles away.
"It's a car." Fairy Caixia held a car magazine in her hand and opened it to Zhao Yuan with excitement.
"Not bad, not bad, very beautiful... more than 30 million!" Zhao Yuan's eyes almost fell out.
"That's a low-profile model. If it's a high-profile model and goes on the road, it's estimated to be around 50 million."
On the side, Qiu Qiu frowned. She regretted it so much that she wanted to die. If she had known that this fairy sister was a shopaholic, she would not have led her around the streets if she was killed. Now, she is harming others and herself. Looking at Zhao Yuan's surprised expression,
It must be that Fairy Caixia, who has no money, will eventually come to the Qiu family.
Although Qiu Qiu's family is considered a wealthy family, their family assets are only tens of millions at best, and they can only think about top-notch luxury cars.
Qiu Qiu naturally did not expect that Zhao Yuan's current funding gap was not tens of millions, but hundreds of billions...
