Happy Tycoon

Chapter 451: Death is forbidden

At this time, when everyone looked at the she-bear again, there was a trace of admiration in their eyes.

   The polar bear is actually a very smart animal, otherwise this animal would not occupy the top position of the food chain. On this planet, all animals that can stand at the top of the food chain, including humans, have no brains, otherwise such animals will never become the top predators.

  Although news of polar bears attacking humans is reported every year around the world, in fact, most polar bears attack humans in autumn and winter, and most of them are extremely hungry polar bears. A full polar bear will not attack humans, and in some cases, polar bears will get along with humans very happily.

Just like the female bear Binnie mentioned by Mickey just now, although I don’t know why she ran to the small town to call for help, it is undeniable that her behavior won the respect of the residents of the small town, and then piggybacked her. The benefit of Benny is that Benny can spend the winter safely.

  Perhaps Binnie, like the five extremely hungry polar bears, did not replenish enough energy and fat throughout the summer due to the warming of the climate. She also faced the harsh reality of starving to death in the winter.

   But in this situation, Benny chose another path. Instead of attacking humans with her companions, she helped humans. Although this practice appeared to be a kind of "bear rape" of Chi Luoluo in the eyes of the polar bears, in any case, Binny saved the old Oss and twelve children, so that the residents of Longyearbyen She fed, so that she steadily passed the harsh winter that year, and passed the second winter steadily, and successfully became a mother this year.

   No one can say that Benny’s approach is wrong.

   In front of survival, there is no right or wrong!

Yang Jing and the others obviously wanted to understand this truth, but in any case, Binnie did save Old Os and her party, and she also survived two harsh winters safely, which shows that Binnie's approach is correct. .

   If Binnie hadn’t done this the year before, she would have a great chance of not surviving that winter, and even less likely to have a cute baby bear this year.

"Wow, that baby bear is so cute and cute! Sophia, or you can adopt that baby bear too." Lisa beside Grid pulled Grid's arm and whispered, her tone full of envy and desire . Lisa is a medical staff member on the Blue Whale. These days, she has a very good relationship with Grid. This time she was resupplying in Longyearbyen, and she also disembarked with her for fun.

Lisa’s words are true. Don’t look at the adult polar bears, especially the pair of small eyes, which deduct points for the polar bears, but the cubs are like most animal babies in the world. It's cute and stupid.

   Just like this little bear cub, he is not as tall as Old Oss’ knees, he is furry, and his neck is not that long. At first glance, he looks like a puppy. Coupled with its pure white hair, that kind of cuteness can definitely kill most women in seconds.

   Lisa can't help it anyway.

Grid smiled and patted her friend on the shoulder, "This is no good, this baby bear has a mother. And it hasn't been weaned yet, if we adopt it, who will breastfeed her?" With that, Grid looked at Li. Shan's full **** leaned to her ears and said in a low voice: "Would you like to feed that baby bear?"

   Lisa suddenly laughed, and the two women quickly tossed.

Yang Jing didn't have any thoughts about the bear cub. He had just heard the story told by Mickey, and he sighed and said, "I remember a very famous saying in the North Pole-the life of the North Pole. And death is forever intertwined."

Mickey smiled and gestured to Yang Jing, "Yes, this sentence is very famous here. Life and death is a very serious issue, so it is forbidden to discuss this topic in Longyearbyen, because In this city, both life and death are classified as illegal. In other words, birth and death are forbidden in this city."

   "Ah? How is this possible? How could the city's government departments have the right to make such a decision? This is a power that only God can exercise." Lin Dan on the side apparently did not know the situation here, and directly retorted.

   Yang Jing and the others who have never been to Longyearbyen also nodded. Just kidding, a city bans birth and death, which is a bit too nonsense.

   This kind of thing is just like the old Chinese saying goes, you control the heavens and the earth, you can also control people **** and fart!

   But on the contrary, Mickey's answer is so hard to understand. "Yes, here, in this city, both birth and death are banned! This is the only city in the world where death is deemed illegal. And this ban has been enforced for many years."

   Yang Jing was also puzzled, "How is this possible? What if someone has a terminal illness or an emergency such as myocardial infarction, and died here?"

Mickey shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's very simple. Unless it is a sudden death, people with severe and terminal illnesses must be sent to the Norwegian local hospital for treatment or wait for death. It is impossible to stay here. Because the hospital in the small town has only eight beds, which are only used for first aid. As for giving birth, this is even simpler. Pregnant women will be sent out of the city one month before they give birth, and the children will not be born here."

With that, Mickey pointed to the people walking on the street, "Have you seen it? Most of the people living here are young and strong people. Old people are rare. Old Oss is only 60 years old this year, but he is already He is the oldest person in the small town. In Longyearbyen, you don't see the old people, there are only young and strong young people here."

   Yang Jing shook his head, "This is a violation of human rights."

Mickey shrugged and said, "No way, we don't want to do this, but the natural conditions in Longyearbyen dictate that we have to do it. The temperature here is too low, it's all permafrost, and people die. After being buried in the ground, the corpse will not decay for hundreds of years. Therefore, if the dead person carries well-known viruses, these viruses will also remain for hundreds of years or even longer. In 1918, the corpses that ravaged Europe at that time The'Spanish flu' spread to Longyearbyen, where seven young miners slept. Eighty years later, in 1998, scientists extracted precious virus samples from the remains of the frozen soil."

   When Mickey said so, the faces of the people around him showed a look of horror.

"So..." Mickey pointed to the cemetery that was faintly visible on the mountainside in the distance, "As early as more than 70 years ago, it was forbidden to bury the dead here. In other words, even sudden death. The corpses will also be transported back to mainland Norway."

   Everyone looked in the direction pointed by Mickey, and dozens of white crosses could be vaguely seen halfway up the mountain. Needless to say, there must be a public cemetery before the town.

   At this time, everyone understood why there is such an unhuman law here. This is all for the living people here!

Everyone followed Mickey around the city and then walked back. Mickey would also take everyone to admire another place in Longyearbyen which is famous all over the world, which is known as the "Bank of Doom". Doomsday Seed Bank".

   This seed bank, which bears the last hope of the world, is located on the Svalbard Mountain opposite the Svalbard Airport in the north of Longyearbyen Port. It is obvious that a building can be seen from a long distance.

"Have you all seen the American disaster movie released in 2009? In that movie, in order to prevent the end of the world caused by a great flood, the extinction of humans and other species on the earth, humans built a huge body The square ship'Noah's Ark' is designed to help humans and other creatures on the earth continue to survive on the day of the end. In fact, the prototype of this story comes from the fact that in the original story it took humans 120 years to build'Noah' With the help of the protection of Noah's Ark, mankind escaped a catastrophe." Mickey asked as he walked.

   Yang Jing they both nodded. The film was indeed a bit thrilling. The two most profound disaster movies in Yang Jing's memory are this one and the other one. The former is the power of the sun, which gave the earth a major reshuffle. Although the latter is not as powerful as the former, because human beings die by themselves, global warming has caused the entire northern hemisphere to enter the ice age.

   Coincidentally, these two films are from the same disaster film master Roland Emmerich.

"In fact, the idea of ​​this seed bank ~www.readwn.com~ was earlier than this movie. The original idea of ​​the seed bank was born in the 2004 International Convention on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. In June 2005, the Norwegian government officially Proposal of the'Noah's Ark World Seed Program', this project is supported by the Food and Agriculture Agency of the United Nations. The Norwegian government is responsible for fundraising, funded by the Global Crop Diversity Trust of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the Italian International Biodiversity Academic Group. The trust fund helps manage seeds and is responsible for daily operations. The initial construction cost is about 3 million US dollars, and the annual operating cost is 100,000 to 200,000 US dollars. The ground was officially broken in June 2006."

“In the end, the total construction cost of this seed bank exceeded 9 million U.S. dollars. It was all funded by the Norwegian government. The ownership of the seed bank belongs to the Norwegian government, but the ownership of the seeds stored in it belongs to the country that stores the seeds. It is like a Banks. Since the completion of this seed bank on February 26, 2008, ten years ago, it has stored about 825,000 biological seeds from more than 200 countries and regions around the world, and the storage volume has exceeded eight. Millions of grains."

   Yang Jing said with emotion: "So amazing!"

"Yes, this seed bank is so powerful. In fact, most countries in the world have their own seed banks, and there are currently more than 1,400 seed banks in the world. But the reason why it is known as the "seed of the end of the earth" "Bank" is because this seed bank is the "absolute back-up" of the other more than 1,400 seed banks. This seed bank is designed to store up to 3 million kinds of seeds and can store up to 1.5 billion different seeds."
