Chapter 156: From Luxury to Frugality Is Difficult

In the evening, Feng Yi went to the cafeteria to have a not very satisfactory dinner, and when he returned to the dormitory, he met a roommate.

The roommate was stunned when he saw Feng Yi, and strode over.

"Chen Wei, from Guicheng, arrived a day earlier than you."

Feng Yi stretched out his hand and shook his hand.

"Feng Yi, I came from Yangcheng today."

Chen Wei was a little excited when he saw Feng Yi, "I know you! You specialize in catching big snakes. I've read the news in Yangcheng. I heard that the little green dragon found in Yongcheng was caught by you?"

"It was me." This kind of thing is no longer a secret within the team, and Feng Yi doesn't need to hide it.

Those who can join the python hunting team must have a certain understanding of their teammates. To put it bluntly, this circle is not big, and if you suddenly see a new name, you will definitely investigate and ask others.

In addition, Feng Yi's several times of catching snakes, whether it was during the scientific expedition or the few times in Yongcheng and Yangcheng later, have caused a lot of discussion in this small circle.

In this small circle, Feng Yi is a powerful newcomer and the main force of the python hunting team. Many people will pay attention to him.

Chen Wei is only a few years older than Feng Yi. He is also a practical talent. He needs to go out to catch snakes in this python hunting team. His family background is similar to Tang Kui. Both of them have breeding farms at home and have been exposed to snakes since childhood.

"I can catch small and medium-sized snakes, venomous snakes, and pythons. I have rich experience in snakes under three meters, and I can do it alone. For snakes above three meters and below four meters, I will consider it as appropriate and can barely fight. I basically don't touch snakes above four meters." This is Chen Wei's positioning of himself, and he is very accurate.

It's not that his skills are insufficient, but that his physical strength can't keep up. He doesn't have the strength to catch a big python and is prone to overturning. This time when he went to Florida to catch pythons, he only focused on those with smaller bodies.

It was precisely because he couldn't catch a big python that he was excited to see Feng Yi.

"I have confirmed with the people of the Joint Guarantee Bureau that you caught the two pythons in Yangcheng by yourself! One of them was caught in the water at night! Do you have any family secrets?"

"No. I just have some talent." Feng Yi looked sincere.

Family secrets?

No. Catching snakes is of course based on instinct!

Chen Wei didn't know whether he believed it or not, but he believed it on his face. "A creature like a python is just a big muscle controlled by a small head with a simple structure. To catch them, the skills are actually very simple. But catching a python is not just about skills! I see that we are about the same size, so why is there such a big difference in strength? Come on, let's wrestle."

Chen Wei rolled up his sleeves and wanted to wrestle with Feng Yi.

One minute later.

Chen Wei rubbed his two wrists, his face full of disbelief.

He couldn't even beat the other person with two wrists!

"Now I really believe it, you are gifted! Your physical fitness is too strong! Your genes are awesome!" Chen Wei sighed.

Feng Yi saw the other person rubbing his wrist, and he couldn't act too relaxed, so he raised his hand and rubbed it, as if he had just used a lot of strength, and his wrist was overloaded.

After rubbing it twice, he found that he rubbed the wrong wrist, not the one that had just exerted force, and quickly switched.

Fortunately, the other party didn't notice, and Feng Yi didn't change his expression when he switched wrists.

Not wanting to say more about "talent" and "python catching skills", Feng Yi asked about the other two roommates.

"Oh, them, two busy people, basically invisible during the day. The one living in this room is Brother Zhai, Zhai Yiyou, who is a little famous in the circle. You should have heard of him. He is not in the dormitory. Most of the time, he went to practical training. He also arrived yesterday. The one living in the room over there is Teacher Huang, who is in the theoretical and technical direction, the type who stays in the laboratory, different from us..."

Feng Yi didn't know much about these two people. He didn't mix in this circle before, so of course he didn't know them. Later, he joined a few expert exchange groups and heard a little about them.

Zhai Yiyou is from Beijing, a second-generation scientist, and has some fame in popular science on the Internet. He is a practical and theoretical talent. Both of his parents are researchers in key laboratories. He is one of the most valuable second-generation scientists. He stepped out of his comfort zone very early and made a name for himself.

The remaining teacher Huang, Huang Xin, is from Yacheng and is a researcher in the Key Laboratory of Amphibians and Reptiles. He is more interested in theoretical experimental techniques.

According to Chen Wei, Huang Xin had no teaching tasks before, but this year he has students and his pressure has increased dramatically. This time he joined the python hunting group and came here for training many days in advance. During this period, he had to write papers and revise papers for students.

"Teacher Huang stayed up late last night to revise students' papers. I don't know what stimulated him. This morning he said he was going out to buy blood pressure-reducing tea." Chen Wei smacked his lips, "So people like me can't be teachers. I don't have that patience."

As a senior who arrived early, Chen Wei briefly told Feng Yi about the training base here.

"The training base in Haicheng is a large comprehensive training base. If you want special training to catch snakes, you still have to go to a special training base, such as our Guicheng and Yacheng. Yacheng is very warm this season, so we can directly train outdoors and simulate training in the jungle wetlands. But these are not useful to us yet. We have no shortage of practical skills. The training here is mainly to supplement some theoretical knowledge."

"Have you ever caught a crocodile?" Chen Wei asked.

"No." Feng Yi said.

"Then you have to practice in the training room. Python hunting is in January, which is still the dry season in Florida. At this time, crocodiles are less active and basically only near water sources. If you are careful, there will be no problem. After all, there is still a gap between alligators and real crocodiles. The temperament of the Milwaukee alligator is relatively mild. But to be on the safe side, you still have to make more preparations and practice in the training field."

The Alligator family is the Alligator family, such as the Milwaukee alligator and the Yangtze alligator.

The true crocodiles are the true crocodiles, and the notoriously notorious Gulf crocodiles and Nile crocodiles are all true crocodiles.

Compared to those ferocious real crocodiles, people are less defensive about wide-faced alligators.

"Well, I see you can reserve a training ground online. You need to make a reservation one day in advance." Feng Yi replied.

"There have been a lot of people going to the training ground recently. We came quite early and had to make a reservation in advance. The No. 1 training ground is for smaller crocodiles. I went to No. 2 today, but I don't recommend No. 2." Chen Wei said.

"What's wrong? The crocodile in field 2 is not big enough?" Feng Yi asked. I checked on my mobile phone and found that the crocodile in Site 2 was over two meters and nearly three meters long, which was considered quite large.

"That's not the reason. The crocodile in Field 2 likes to roll too much."

Chen Wei said as he took out his mobile phone and showed Feng Yi the photos and videos he took today.

"I went to Field No. 2 today and was close to the crocodile. I was studying its blind spot when the creature suddenly rolled from one end of the training field to the other. I couldn't think coherently."

Feng Yi looked at his phone.

In the video, a thick-bodied crocodile rolls like a roller, with no obstacles along the way and no pauses in the middle. It rolls so smoothly.

In addition to the famous death roll when hunting, crocodiles will also roll when using escape strategies. However, there are differences between individuals. The Mihe crocodile in Site 2 mentioned by Chen Wei is probably an extraordinary individual. .

"This kind of crocodile rolls around easily. If you make a loop with a rope and put it in its mouth, it will roll around and tie its mouth tightly without you using any force. There is no sense of achievement!" Chen Wei concluded, "It is necessary. For practice, make reservations for sessions after the 3rd. Sessions 1 and 2 are for beginners to practice and play.”

Feng Yi memorized all these suggestions.

Chen Wei is so enthusiastic about Feng Yi. First, he admires Feng Yi for catching large pythons, and second, they are both more practical types. The group of people engaged in theory and technology talked about genes, protein structure, impact factors of papers and other topics, but he couldn't talk.

Chatting with Feng Yi was different. Apart from chatting about food and drink, it was about catching snakes and crocodiles.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Feng Yi finally met Liangwai and his two roommates, but they had many things on their hands and didn't talk much.

These three people in the same room are roommates and group mates. After spending a few days together at the training base, they will go to Florida together. There is no rush to communicate feelings.

After going back to the room to eat two compressed biscuits, wash up and tidy up, Feng Yi lay down. It’s nice not to have to write a paper.

I just can't sleep a little bit. Normally at this time, as soon as you lie down on the bed, sleepiness will brew automatically. But here, sleep was simmering.

I'm used to sleeping on that big sesame seed bed, but it's a bit strange to sleep on an ordinary bed again.

The single bed here is only 1.2 meters wide, which makes me feel constrained and unable to stretch my body.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!

You still have to get used to it, and you will have to be like this for the next month or so.

Tails won’t let it out for the time being.

He shed his skin again at home before coming here. Feng Yi now has better control over his tail and doesn't have to worry about it popping out in the middle of the night.

This has nothing to do with the size of the bed.

In a single bedroom, if you lock the door, you don't have to worry about being seen by others.

but!

When the tail comes out, the body is in its original state and the weight is different!

Feng Yi was not worried about scaring people, he was worried about crushing the bed!

Don't use the tail flick when getting up in the morning.

If it flicks, the bed will be useless and the floor will collapse.

I just learned yesterday that pythons were downgraded from Level 1 to Level 2 in this year's "List of National Key Protected Wild Animals".

Although the world background of this article is fictional and the story is purely fictitious, the domestic protection levels involved in the article are still as close as possible to the latest "Directory".

Changes to the previous details will be made gradually, but the plot and reading will not be affected.

Let me explain this.
