Chapter 238 Pick an Egg

The zoo also provided the green anaconda with a glass house with three sides of glass, the kind of very strong transparent glass.

The other wall is in wood and stone style, with various natural decorations.

There is a small pool inside, which has its own circulation and purification function, and water keeps flowing out from the cracks in the stones and falls into the pool.

The glass house is transparent on three sides, which makes it easier for people to see its activities inside.

Of course, Steve can also be clearly seen in the pool at this time.

Considering the impact of the program broadcast, Steve did not show too much. He was wearing a set of clothes provided by the program team, and the clothes and pants were printed with the program team.

There were two cans of drinks on a stone behind him, which were new products from Wu Huan's company. As one of the program sponsors, Wu Huan was very good at seizing opportunities.

However, the two cans of drinks were not opened to avoid polluting the pool. They were just placed here as background advertising.

Perhaps because it was already familiar with Steve's smell, the huge green anaconda did not pay too much attention to him, but swam slowly in the water to understand this new territory.

Steve really enjoyed this harmonious time together.

Seeing Feng Yi standing there motionless, Steve waved and urged him, his voice rippling, "Come on~~"

Feng Yi had a blank expression: "No, enjoy it by yourself!"

The program team saw that Feng Yi really didn't want to participate in this session, but didn't want to let Feng Yi, a topic figure, go over and ask if he was interested in participating in the next activity?

Feng Yi asked: "What activity?"

The person from the program team said mysteriously: "Unboxing the Python Box."

Feng Yi: ???

Feng Yi: "Blind box?"

"Uh, yes, but it's python-related, so we call this segment 'python box unboxing', and the guests need to pick a 'blind box'."

Feng Yi frowned, "Is it similar to the pet blind boxes on the Internet? Put the animal inside, and then send a blind box to it?"

The person from the program team was excited: "Of course not! We don't do that kind of rubbish!"

Seeing that Feng Yi was disgusted with the so-called pet blind box, the person from the program team quickly explained:

"The 'blind box' I'm talking about is snake eggs, pick one before they hatch. For example, it's like a litter of puppies, you go to pick the puppies, but you are not allowed to see the color of the puppies. This process does not interfere with their normal development and growth, and it does not threaten their lives. It just adds a little fun."

Feng Yi listened to his explanation and almost understood it.

The zoo not only got pythons from the research base, but also bought a batch of snake eggs and tried to hatch them by themselves.

It happened that the program team came to record the program, and there was also a big boss in the reptile circle Steve participating, so the zoo had some ideas. After the three parties discussed and consulted with the relevant departments, they finalized this activity-

The program team asked the guests to choose a snake egg, and after it hatched, they would feed it together with the zoo.

Now the management is strict, and private individuals are not allowed to raise pythons, so the snake is kept in the zoo, but it is labeled as a guest of the program team.

This is not something that everyone can participate in. Only experts like Steve and Feng Yi who are certified by the Joint Guarantee Bureau can cooperate in this way.

"Feed together?" Feng Yi did have some interest.

"Yes, if you have this intention, I can show you the content of the agreement. It was signed by the guest, our program team and the zoo. The relevant department has issued a license. If you participate, you can also sign a copy."

"Let me see the agreement."

Feng Yi took the tablet computer handed over by the other party and flipped through an electronic document on it.

It seems okay.

But he didn't agree immediately.

"So, now those little pythons haven't hatched yet? Can I go and see the snake eggs first?" Feng Yi asked.

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask."

The man ran to ask the director quickly.

When the director heard that Feng Yi was interested, he immediately decided: Let him see!

The person from the program team happily led Feng Yi to a place, "The eggs are in the incubator, come with me."

Feng Yi had nothing else to do here, and it was not good to stay there, because there were always people who wanted him to participate in the human-anaconda bath over there. Since he knew that there would be such an activity later, he could participate, and he could also complete the publicity task assigned by the Joint Security Bureau.

There were various snake eggs in the incubator, and an incubator employee was responsible for watching them.

The person from the program team took Feng Yi to an incubator.

"The smaller eggs next to it are ball pythons, and the larger ones here are reticulated pythons. We originally planned to choose reticulated pythons, but if you want to choose ball pythons, you can choose them."

"Just follow your original plan."

Feng Yi looked at the snake eggs in the box.

They were placed there one by one, like big white steamed buns.

It is not the breeding season for wild reticulated pythons, but in an artificial breeding environment, the season can basically be ignored.

"These are all eggs laid by artificially bred reticulated pythons, but the zoo doesn't know what genetic strains of snakes are in them. These eggs look about the same size, but they are not from the same nest." The program crew told Feng Yi the origin of these snake eggs.

They were all seized by the Joint Security Bureau when investigating illegal breeding organizations. They had been kept in the research base before, but there were too many snake eggs there, so they contacted several zoos to ask if they were willing to accept them.

This is also one of the zoos that has the ability to hatch, and the director personally went there to grab a batch of eggs back.

"Although the selected ones may not have the same parents, they were hatched at about the same time. According to them, they are about to hatch." said the person from the program team.

The incubator staff who had been silent said at this time: "In fact, we originally arranged for someone to cut the eggs, but later we learned that the program team would use them for recording a program, so we didn't cut them."

Cutting eggs is equivalent to helping them hatch manually.

Survival in the wild emphasizes the law of the jungle, but in an artificial breeding environment, strength is not pursued. As long as the survival rate can be improved, the survival of the fittest is not implemented.

Feng Yi can judge that the eggs in the box in front of him are all reticulated python eggs, but they are not wild types. They are all complex genetic strains obtained by artificial breeding.

They are all made by those people who play with genes in order to get a better-looking body color.

No one knows whether these individuals with various genes superimposed have defects or are weak. If they cannot successfully hatch, they will suffocate in the eggshell.

Generally speaking, these genetic strains bred artificially are much more delicate than wild ones.

Therefore, in order to ensure that more snakes can survive, the zoo will assist in breaking the shells and cut the eggshells.

Worried that Feng Yi didn't understand, the person from the program explained: "You can understand it as another sense of... caesarean section."

Feng Yi: "..."

The person in the incubator said: "Because the eggs were not cut, we don't know whether the snakes inside are developing normally, whether they are strong or weak, and whether they can survive. We also don't know their body color."

Feng Yi nodded and looked at the person from the program, "So, these are 'blind boxes'?"

The person from the program scratched his head, "Not all of them, I remember the director said, let someone screen them again, and just pick out five or six."

Feng Yi looked at the snake eggs inside.

The snake eggs are not the kind of hard and perfect shape, because the shell is soft.

Three of the nine snake eggs inside have lost their life signals.

Half of the remaining six are in a more dangerous state, and their life signals are very weak.

Feng Yi adjusted his position, turned his back to the camera, and stretched out his hand.

The incubator employee who was staring at him wanted to say something, but considering Feng Yi's identity as an expert, he held back.

Feng Yi's palm rested on the egg with the weakest life signal.

Invisible active factors came out of his palm, passed to those eggs, and penetrated into them.

These active factors were different from the information substances released by him to intimidate the sparrow starfish. These were the substances that overflowed every time he mutated or molted.

It was these active factors that made the koi in his family's courtyard landscape pond grow into pigs.

In general, this active factor has some function of strengthening the body.

However, Feng Yi's control over this substance is limited now, and the amount is not large. He wanted to see if these active factors could allow those larvae with weak life signals to survive.

When he retracted his hand, Feng Yi's finger lightly touched the eggshell with the weakest life signal, leaving all the remaining active factors to it.

In the eyes of the incubator staff, Feng Yi's behavior was just a curious hand reaching out to touch the eggshell gently.

"Let's go, Steve should be finishing filming soon."

Feng Yi left the incubator.

After he left, the program team and the park really sent people over to screen the nine eggs again. The three snake eggs that had lost their life signals were screened out.

The remaining six will be selected by Steve and Feng Yi.

Over there, after Steve finished shooting a section, he was eager to share his excitement with Feng Yi.

However, his high spirits soon subsided.

Feng Yi told him about the search for a mobile phone in the old museum next door.

Steve tutted in dissatisfaction, "Staff still need more training, I will mention it to the zoo later. They do have a lot of areas that need improvement. I also looked at it today. There are many loopholes in the old pavilion. The new pavilion is better. The glass doors of the newly built glass houses are equipped with alarm systems. If they are not closed tightly and are opened for too long, there will be an alarm prompt sound. There are also more cameras."

Thinking of something, Steve smiled again: "By the way, I just heard from an employee of the zoo that after you showed your face in their live broadcast room, all the tickets on the zoo's website were sold out today! Part of the reptile house is closed, and the snake house is not open to the public, but there are many people guarding outside."

Feng Yi was well prepared, "I asked, there is an internal passage that can leave through the side door."

"Okay, just be prepared." Steve put aside his worries and deepened the smile on his face, "Did you just sign that agreement?"

"I haven't signed it yet. Everyone is very busy now. The people from the program team said that it's okay to sign it after the recording is finished." Feng Yi said.

Steve laughed and patted Feng Yi on the shoulder, "Let's go! Let's go pick eggs together!"

Entering the shooting again, the program crew brought out the box that Feng Yi had seen in the incubator, but the original nine snake eggs in the box were reduced to six.

Program crew: "You can pick the eggs you like."

Steve looked at the eggs lovingly, and then asked the director: "Can I pick all of them?"

The director smiled politely and refused firmly: "No!"

Steve was unwilling: "I can pay more!"

The director's facial muscles twitched, and he seemed to be shaken for a moment, but still said: "...No!"

It's not that I don't want to make this money, it's that I can't!

The Joint Guarantee Bureau won't let me!

Steve moved his eyes away with difficulty and said to Feng Yi: "You pick first."

Feng Yi didn't hesitate and pointed at the one with the weakest life signal: "Let's take this one."

See you tomorrow,
