Princess Sofia drove a four-wheeler car to the vicinity of Xiangshan before stopping. The forest after the rain was green and the fragrance of soil in the air.

"Why do you want to come here to visit, Mr. Chu?" Sophia looked at the lush forest and asked in confusion.

"It's not surprising here now, but in the future, it will be the Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden, planting rare plants from all over the world and breeding rare animals from all over the world." Chu Yun pointed to this large area.

Since the Oceania Expedition Team sent the endangered short-tailed dwarf kangaroos to the capital, Chu Yun had the idea of ​​establishing a zoo and botanical garden in the world to protect some species before industrial civilization extinctions them to preserve their genetic diversity.

This idea has not been implemented before, but now he has started allocating land to prepare for the construction of the Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden.

Instead of building a face-saving project like the Old Summer Palace, it is better to leave something more meaningful for future generations. Collecting various animals and plants around the world for future generations to study their genetic or medical value will benefit a lot.

This Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden is located in Xiangshan area.

"Are you saying that you will collect all the rare animals and plants in the world here? It's incredible that no one has ever had such an idea!" Princess Sophia exclaimed. In her opinion, this was simply incredible.

"Yes, all kinds of animals and plants in the world, if they can survive in this climate, you will be able to see them here. If they cannot survive here, they will be transplanted to the hotter Yunnan, where a tropical botanical garden may be built." Chu Yun expressed his crazy thoughts.

Some ideas are not able to be done when you have no ability, but if you have the ability, you can start to act.

Greenhouse technology has not yet been developed, so some plants may not be able to be transplanted to temperate zones smoothly. Chu Yun tentatively plans to build a zoo and botanical garden in Beijing and Yunnan, which can basically cover the growth environment of most animals and plants.

"Can I wait for a day when this zoo and botanical garden is filled with animals and plants from all over the world?" Sofia asked.

"If you stay in the capital, it should be OK. If you return to the city of London, it's hard to say." Chu Yun said.

"...Mr. Chu, you just want me to return to England?" Sophia curled her lips.

"I'm just kidding." Chu Yun said.

Logically, if he married Sophia, then Sophia would not have to return to London.

But Chu Yun did not expect that he would come true. The envoy who was preparing to take Princess Sophia back was on the sea and arrived at the capital as fast as possible.

Sofia drove a four-wheeled car to surround the Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden, which had just been built and had not yet begun to be built.

Chu Yun also took this opportunity to inspect this prototype.

There are already forest rangers here. They need to move away the villagers here and capture the beasts in the mountains and forests to prevent the beasts from harming tourists or scholars in the future.

"Mr. Master, our zoo and botanical garden is still planning. After the various areas are planned, we will send an expedition team to collect animals and plants from all over the world and get assigned to various parks." The head of the Zoo and Botanical Garden and other engineers in charge of planning the Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden are working near Yong'an Temple. When he saw Chu Yun coming in a car, he was surprised and quickly summoned project personnel to report to Chu Yun.

This was a sudden inspection that had never been expected, which made the personnel in charge of the Zoo and Botanical Garden a little busy.

After having a car, it seems that it is possible to conduct a maneuverable surprise inspection...

"Thank you for your hard work, I just had a sudden idea to come here. You don't need to feel nervous. Just build the Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden according to the original plan." Chu Yun said.

"Everything is for the glory of the empire and the benefit of future generations!" said the project members with a little fanatical voice.

It is not just for their fame and fortune, to build a zoo and botanical garden containing all kinds of species in the world. This is a great plan with extremely ambition and sense of accomplishment!

Especially among the project members, there are many botanists and zoologists who are most supportive of this ambitious plan. At that time, they can study species from all over the world here and make academic research progress.

Chu Yun also specially found the planning drawings of the Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden. The budgeted Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden is a total area of ​​hundreds of hectares. The first phase is expected to cultivate 10,000 plants and 300 animals, and then the number of species will be increased depending on the situation. In addition to breeding living animals and plants, cold storage is also prepared to preserve some animal and plant specimens and genes for permanent storage.

"I am also a student of the Biological Academy." Princess Sofia knew that there were many professors and students studying zoology and botany in the Biological Academy who participated in the International Zoo and Botanical Garden project, and greeted them enthusiastically.

Sofia studied bacteriology, which is quite different from what they learned.

After hearing that the princess was also a student of the Biological Academy, the members of the Wanguo Zoo and Botanical Garden became much more enthusiastic, and a group of people were talking and laughing.

Chu Yun saw it. Although this princess likes to make trouble, she seems to have a good reputation.

"Especially, we need to collect species from the New World. Those new species have high research value because they have not been exposed to them. Once their economic or medicinal value is discovered, they will provide a huge contribution to society. For example, quinine produced from the American cinchona tree, which is produced from the bark and root bark, can play an effective therapeutic role in malaria." Chu Yun only mentioned it slightly, but in fact, these zoo and botanists know much more than him.

"We will send scientific expedition teams to North America, Oceania, India, Spice Islands, Africa and other places to collect new species. However, there are still several places that we have difficulty in getting involved in, South America, Antarctica, West Indies and other places."

"Don't be anxious. The Admiralty is organizing a global voyage. At that time, we will draw a group of zoology and botanists from the Biological Institute to participate in this global voyage, collect seeds of rare plants from various places and conduct scientific research." Chu Yun is still very supportive of this seemingly "meaningless" research, and will even organize a global voyage specifically.

In addition to demonstrating national strength and exploring the global sea route, global navigation is also very helpful for some scientific research, such as proving the theory of earth-circle, discovering new species, and even supporting the theory of evolution.

Chu Yun checked some information in their office, and had a meal with Sophia before returning to the city.
