Chapter 621: Chapter 519: What Should We Name the Giant Panda Cub Born on New Year’s Day?_2

In contrast, domestically, although scientific research has developed rapidly in recent years and significant achievements have been made in some fields, overall investment in research is still not extensive. Additionally, there is still a certain gap in the number of high-end research talents and the depth and breadth of international cooperation compared to the country he is in.

Only in the field of Traditional Veterinary Medicine does the country have a unique advantage. This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Professor Everett is willing to maintain friendly exchanges with Chen Ying.

Another important factor is that because our country is vast, there is a considerable difference between urban and rural areas, and even between cities. Jiamu Gully is located in a relatively remote inland area, so in Kelas’s view, Chen Ying’s skills might not be that impressive.

Chen Ying did not refuse the technical exchange proposed by Kelas.

Over the next two days, Kelas and his little treasure Meidi stayed at the Protection Station dormitory and communicated with the Little Cub’s care team.

During the exchanges, Kelas was surprised to find that Chen Ying’s medical skills were even more formidable than he had imagined. Moreover, when Chen Ying mentioned that he had exchanged and studied with Professor Everett, Kelas was shocked into speechlessness. Because Everett is the teacher of his teacher, renowned in the veterinary field.

This extraordinary connection incited a new thought in Kelas.

His teacher is working on a project of great significance: the “Iberian Lynx Breeding” project.

The Iberian Lynx, also known as Iberian Lynx, is the largest native felid in Europe and is considered by biologists as one of the rarest felids in the world. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the Iberian Lynx as one of the three most critically endangered cat species worldwide.

This lynx is only distributed in Doafe National Park and the Morayna Mountains in southern Spain, with two isolated populations altogether numbering less than one hundred and fifty.

Currently, this lynx is strictly protected, but related breeding work is fraught with difficulties.

After communicating with his teacher, Kelas made every effort to invite Chen Ying to join their research team. With Chen Ying’s immense affinity for felids and his various remarkable mythos, he might bring new breakthroughs to their stalled research work.

Chen Ying originally did not intend to join Kelas’s teacher’s research team, since their research goal was singular, while he himself was more focused on treatment.

But after receiving a video from Professor Everett that evening, Chen Ying changed his mind. There was no help for it; the research institute where Kelas’s teacher worked is located at one of the world’s top universities for veterinary medicine, and Professor Everett’s suggestion was to recommend Chen Ying to pursue a doctoral degree at that university.

If he could join Kelas’s teacher’s team, admission would be basically a sure thing. If he could make significant contributions to the research, obtaining a doctoral degree would be quick, and it would also help him gain recognition in the international circle.

For ordinary people, this recognition might not be very useful, but if Chen Ying could penetrate the top tier of this industry, it would have a facilitative effect on domestic veterinary medicine and animal science.

Professor Bai also strongly supported him going out to explore. Jiamu Gully is too small, even adding the River Source Wilderness, there aren’t many places for Chen Ying to fully utilize his skills.

Previously, going out to help treat pets could only say he gained some fame in certain circles, but in the real top-tier circles, Chen Ying was still in a state of anonymity.

The Iberian Lynx breeding project is a very good opportunity, and it must be said, there is a little bit of mystique around Chen Ying. Just look at the animals around him, little cubs are born one litter after another, each developing well. In the wild animals’ circle, Jiamu Gully’s reputation as a natural large maternity ward is genuinely established; haven’t so many female beasts come here to give birth?

There’s an uncertain rumor that says cubs born in Jiamu Gully might grow to be stronger and have better genes than their parents.

Whether it’s true or not is still unclear, but scientific investigative data shows that in recent years, the number of female beasts in the Jiamu Gully area is more than the past five years, and the number of cubs born is also showing an upward trend.

Even the Huanan Tiger, which had been declared extinct in the wild, has appeared. Currently, the work of the wild mother tiger leading artificially bred cubs to the wild is progressing exceptionally well. If this positive cycle continues, the roar of tigers might be heard again in the southern forests in ten years.

Not to mention the Huanan Tiger, even the Small One-Horned Rhinoceros was found by Chen Ying, so it’s normal for some foreign teams to take an interest in him.

There’s even a rumor that some bounty hunters want to recruit Chen Ying to find those rare animals for profit.

As a good comrade with strong roots and red lineage, Chen Ying certainly wouldn’t associate with the black market, so cooperating with official teams is the best choice.

Kelas’s persuasion, along with Professor Bai’s urging, finally made Chen Ying agree to Professor Everett’s recommendation to apply to Kelas’s alma mater for a doctoral degree, and he also agreed to join the “Iberian Lynx Breeding Research” team.

Foreign universities typically start in the spring, so there wasn’t much time left. With renowned professors helping with the application and related matters, what Chen Ying needed to do was to finalize the third phase of Little Cub’s treatment plan before leaving and be present for Jiaojiao’s childbirth.

That’s right, Jiaojiao’s child is calculated to be born around the Spring Festival. During this time, Qin and the Panda Man team were almost driven to anxiety.
