Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 238: Specimens of the Natural Museum

In the car, in the back seat, Zheng Tan sat with the two children and listened to Jiao Yuan's nonstop talk to Xiao Yuzi about the experience that he followed with Dao Jia to the field practice base. The final exam was pretty good. Jiao Yuan had all the confidence to speak, and the atmosphere surrounding the low pressure before the exam finally cleared up.

In fact, Jiao Yuan was still small at that time. Even if I saw a lot of things at that time, I don't remember how much I remember now, after all, at that time, my ability to accept was limited and I didn't know much, I just remembered to run around crazy. What is connected in series is actually a group of photos taken in the current year and several specimens completed under the guidance of Jiao Dad.

There were plants and insects in the specimens, but those that were inconvenient and were put at home, Jiao Yuan brought an album. This album alone can keep Jiao Yuan from closing his mouth.

It took about seven hours to drive from Chuhua City to the internship base, so Dao Jiao and Mao Jia changed their driving, otherwise they were too tired. The party took a short break for the students to go to the toilet or something. As for those who were motion sick, their faces were pale and shameless. Fortunately, several teachers leading the team had experience. In addition to the plastic bags, they were also prepared. Some drugs.

When Zheng Tan woke up, he looked out the window and found a lot of mountains around. Jiao Yuanzheng and Xiaoyuzi were watching the map next to him. He also held a small flashlight in his hand. Sometimes he passed the cave flashlight. It was opened just for this addiction. This is very close to the internship base that Dao Jiao said.

The so-called field internship, in fact, the main purpose is to take those freshmen who have just finished their freshman year to take a look and get close to nature. Freshmen's courses include botany and zoology, and some majors also involve ecology. When they come out, they also experience them personally, identify some animals and plants, etc. Of course, it is not purely fun to come out. Participate in field practice Of students have to write reports after the fact.

For Xiaoyuan and Xiaoyuzu, this is basically a summer vacation. Zheng Tan too.

I walked on the campus of Chuhua University. Although the school is very green, the area is relatively large in universities in China. But in general it is such a small place. Zheng Tan also experienced exile, but at that time there were not so many mountains. The feelings in the mountains and the plains were always different. The feelings of wandering and vacationing were also very different.

At around three in the afternoon. The crowd reached their destination.

The field practice base of Chuhua University is built on the mountain. Zheng Tan paid attention when he went up the mountain. Many places on the mountain are well-built, and the roads and planned houses have a modern mountain atmosphere, not like the wild life that many people imagine. of course. This is just a few scenes on the mountain. Looking into the distance, you can see the rolling peaks.

At this time of July and August, the temperature in Chuhua City can soar to above 40 degrees, and an egg can be cooked quickly on the road. However, when you open the window at the internship base, you can obviously feel better than Chuhua City. The temperature should be several degrees lower.

Before I came here, I heard that there are no electric fans installed in the internship base. Some students were still worried about whether they would be steamed at that time. I learned the summer in Chuhua City. After these students came out of the bus and walked into the dormitory arranged by the internship base, they were immediately relieved.

Statistics were done before coming here, so the rooms have been divided here. The Jiao family has a small single room for four people. This is for some leading teachers. There are four in each room. The bed, Jiao people directly occupy a room. In this way, Zheng Tan's action is also more convenient, so he doesn't have to stay in his bag all the time.

The room was cleaned, and it was fairly clean, after all, it was where the teachers lived. As for the place of the students, the conditions are not as good as the teacher's side. The students have bunk beds, four beds and eight beds, and also have separate bathrooms. Even if they are not as good as the teachers' side, the conditions are acceptable.

After installing the mosquito nets, Jiao Ma will lay down the sheets. The four took a bath in turn, and then took a good afternoon sleep. After having dinner in the cafeteria of the base, Dao Jiao took the children to the synagogue to listen Lecture.

The evening meeting mainly held a mobilization meeting, talked about the matters needing attention in the internship, emphasized organizational discipline, and gave students a simple training. Before they came, the students knew about this aspect. Although they still didn't understand a lot of things, as long as they followed the team teacher, everything was simple.

Leading teachers usually bring a medicine box in case they are needed. The children nowadays can be very expensive and they can't afford anything.

Zheng Tan was also brought into the synagogue. Dad Jiao hoped that everyone would listen. Do n’t make any mistakes. After all, there are many mountains around this place. There are still nature reserves in this place. What will you encounter in the summer? It's really hard to say that there are definitely not fewer snake snakes and rat ants.

Zheng Tanwo was inside the bag. The Jiao family were sitting on the side. No one noticed Zheng Tan in the bag. Zheng Tan did n’t look around boldly. He listened to the people on the stage and then passed out. Lethargic.

The students and teachers from Chuhua University also came from foreign schools. They do not have an internship base here, so they will come together to follow the people from Chuhua University every year.

At night, sleeping in this strange place, Zheng Tan had no discomfort. The room was full of familiar people. He lay on the bedside of the little grapefruit. He slept more during the day and was in a good spirit at night. You can also hear the sounds of some animals that you can't usually hear. As the man said when listening to the report today, this is a city surrounded by nature.

Maybe many people in the city feel that being close to nature is a particularly good experience. The air is fresh and quiet enough, but in fact, if those people really want to come over, they may not be able to bear it.

When I first arrived here today, a few boys walked around without going out of the base. When I came back, I drank a **** bug in the empty beverage bottle. Zheng Tan never saw them. After asking a few classmates, they didn't know each other, and just said what bugs might be Coleoptera, so they asked the teacher who focused on insects. Some of the girls almost screamed when they saw them. It is estimated that they will never develop in the direction of insects in the future.

and so. It can be seen that not everyone can live a mountain life.

The next day, the leading teachers did not rush to take the students out, but took the students to the Sheshan Natural Museum not far from the internship base.

Zheng Tan stayed in his backpack and was brought in by Dao Jiao. It is logically impossible to bring animals in, but now it is a group of college students and teachers. The door guards and museum administrators do not care much. They still talk to a few The leading teacher spoke for a while and looked at each other. The person in charge in the library just focused on not letting those students do damage.

Zheng Tan stayed inside the backpack. Look out from the gap in the zipper. The backpack was changed by Jiao Ma, and there was an additional gauze section. It was difficult for people outside to see what was in the backpack, but Zheng Tan in the backpack could see the outside through the gauze. Don't worry about being too stuffy hiding in your backpack.

Zheng Tan was not really interested in those plant specimens. Those students obviously too. Until coming to the animal exhibition area.

Most of the animals seen in the zoo can be seen here, and many more have not been seen in the zoo, just. The specimens here are just specimens. There is no anger, and there is no glory in the eyes.

Looking at the lifelike specimens that were long gone, Zheng Tan suddenly felt that his spine was chilling. He didn't know what the animals were thinking when they were made into specimens. Perhaps they were dead before that.

There are several teachers and museum staff explaining to the students.

"The main types of animal specimens are infused specimens, stripped specimens, skeletal specimens, dried specimens, and slide specimens. The immersed specimens are executed without anatomizing the animal body, and the whole is infused as human Specimens preserved in liquid. Stripped specimens are commonly used in vertebrates, such as birds and mammals, and the skins of these vertebrates need to be stripped to remove the muscles on the skin. Body, install prosthetic eyes, suture and shape the specimen ... "

Zheng Tan looked through the gauze net. After the teacher in the front finished the explanation, he let another person continue, and the latter was responsible for making the specimen.

Previously, a teacher who taught zoology at Chuhua University's Academy of Sciences, and a few who taught botany, some samples involved in their research projects came from some areas of Bishan City. They naturally followed People here are also familiar.

The specimen maker took the students to a corner with some tools.

"That's when you came and I showed it to you. I won't give it to anyone else!"

The specimen maker offered a treasure to the students to identify those tools, and at the same time talked about the specimen making industry.

"... To be closer, people now have a better standard of living, have raised pets, and have established deep feelings. But when a pet dies, the owner will feel great pain. The specimens with real form and complete structure can not only hold the owner's grief, but also preserve them for a longer time ... "

fart!

If he could speak, Zheng Tan would probably scold and refute. Looking at the people in the Jiao family next to him, Jiao Yuan was disgusted with the words of that man just now, and Xiaoyuzi frowned, apparently disapproving of the man's words. For angle reasons, Zheng Tan couldn't see the expressions of Jiao Mom and Dao Jiao.

The specimen maker went on to introduce the role of scalpels, tweezers, scissors, wire cutters, files, hammers, saws, nails, lead wires, needles and other tools ~ www.readwn.com ~ Many chemicals are not very safe He didn't take it out, but he would mention some when talking to the students, such as arsenic dioxide (arsenic), potassium potassium sulfate (alum), phenol, lysore, etc.

"Most specimens are prepared with partial prosthesis and partial filling. The general process includes peeling, antiseptic, prosthesis making, filling, prosthetic eye making, suture, and overall modification. When peeling, open the abdomen and make the whole Take the body apart ... "

Listening to the man, Zheng Tan stayed cold in his backpack.

In the words of the specimen maker, he felt that this profession was a beautiful profession that reborn, and he loved this profession.

In Zheng Tan's eyes, the specimen maker is one of his "natural enemies" today.

Although I knew that this breed was not worth much, was not a rare and protected animal, and was protected by Dao Jiao, but after leaving the museum, Zheng Tan could not help but have a nightmare that night and scared himself several times a night. (To be continued ...)
