At this time, when everyone looked at the female bear again, there was a trace of admiration in their eyes.
Polar bears are very intelligent animals, otherwise they wouldn't be at the top of the food chain.
On this planet, none of the animals that can stand at the top of the food chain, including humans, have bad brains, otherwise this animal will definitely not become the top predator.
Although there are news of polar bears attacking humans around the world every year, in fact, most of the polar bears attacking humans occur in autumn and winter, and most of them are done by extremely hungry polar bears.
Full-fed polar bears will not attack humans, and in some cases, polar bears will get along well with humans.
Just like the she-bear Benny that Mickey said just now, although I don't know why she ran to the town to call for help, it is undeniable that her behavior won her the respect of the residents of the town, and then the benefit of piggybacking on her was that Binnie could survive that winter.
Perhaps, like the five hungry polar bears, Binnie didn't get enough energy and fat throughout the summer due to the warming climate, and she also faced the harsh situation of starving to death in the winter.
But Binnie chose a different path in this situation, and instead of attacking the humans with her companions, she helped them.
Although this practice seems to be a kind of "bear rape" in the eyes of polar bears, in any case, because she saved old Os and twelve children, Binnie was able to get the residents of Longyearbyen to feed her, so that she survived the harsh winter of that year, and survived the second winter peacefully, and successfully became a mother this year.
No one can say that Binnie's approach is wrong.
In the face of survival, there is no right or wrong!
Yang Jing and the others obviously figured out this truth, but no matter what, Binnie did save Lao Oss and his party, and she also survived the two harsh winters safely, which shows that Binnie's approach is correct.
If Binnie hadn't done that the year before, there's a good chance she'd not survived that winter, and she wouldn't have had a cute baby bear this year.
"Wow, that baby bear is so cute, so cute!
Sophia, why don't you adopt that baby bear too.
Lisa, who was beside Gege, took Gege's arm and whispered, her tone full of envy and longing.
Lisa is a medical officer on the Blue Whale, and she has a very good relationship with Gege these days, and this time she is resupplying in Longyearbyen, and she also disembarks to play.
Lisa's words are really right, don't look at the adult polar bear doesn't look good, especially the pair of small eyes are very deductible for polar bears, but the cub bear, like most animal babies in the world, is cute and stupid.
It's like this little bear cub, who is not as tall as Old Oss's knees, and has a hairy body, and his neck is not so long, and at first glance it looks like a puppy.
Coupled with its white hair, that kind of cuteness can definitely kill most women in seconds.
Anyway, Lisa couldn't help it.
Gege smiled and patted his friend's shoulder, "This can't work, this baby bear still has a mother."
And it hasn't been weaned yet, and if we adopt it, who will feed it?
As he spoke, Gege glanced at Lisa's full breasts, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Why don't you breastfeed that baby bear?"
” Lisa burst out laughing, and the two women quickly tossed.
Yang Jing didn't have much thought about that bear cub, just after listening to the story told by Mikey, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, so he sighed and said: "I remember a very famous saying in the North Pole - life and death in the North Pole are forever intertwined. ” Miki smiled and gave Yang Jing a thumbs up, "That's right, this sentence is very famous in our place.
Life and death, this is a very serious issue, so it is forbidden to discuss this topic in the city of Longyearbyen, because in the city, both life and death are listed as illegal.
That is, in this city, birth and death are forbidden. ” "Huh?
How is this possible?
How could a city's government department have the authority to make such a decision?
This is a power that only God can exercise.
Lin Dan on the side obviously didn't know the situation here, and directly retorted.
Yang Jing, those who had never been to Longyearbby City, also nodded.
Just kidding, it's a bit of nonsense that a city bans birth and death.
This kind of thing is like the old Chinese saying, you are in charge of the heavens and the earth, and you can still manage other people's shit and fart!
But Mickey's answer is so incomprehensible.
"That's right, here, in this city, birth and death are forbidden!
It is the only city in the world that has ruled that death is illegal.
And this ban has been in place for years. ” Yang Jing was also puzzled, "How is this possible?"
What if someone dies here with a terminal illness or simply an emergency such as myocardial infarction?
” Miki shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's very simple, here, unless it is sudden death, people with serious and terminal illnesses must be sent to hospitals in Norway for treatment or wait for death, it is impossible to stay here."
Because the hospital in the town has only eight beds, which is only used for emergency treatment.
As for giving birth, this one is simpler, the pregnant woman will be sent out of the city a month before she gives birth, and the child will not be born here. ” As he spoke, Mickey pointed to the crowd walking on the street, "See?"
Most of the people who live here are young and strong, and old people are rare, and Old Oss is only sixty years old this year, but he is already the oldest person in the town.
In Longyearbyen, you don't see old people, there are only young and strong young people here. ” Yang Jing shook his head, "This is a violation of human rights." ” Mickey shrugged his shoulders and said, "No way, we don't want to do it, but because of the natural conditions of Longyearbyen, we have to do it."

The temperature here is so low that it is all permafrost, and when people die, they are buried in the ground, and the corpses will not decay for hundreds of years.
So, if a deceased person carries a well-known virus, it will remain for hundreds of years or more.
In 1918, the Spanish flu, which was ravaging Europe, reached Longyearbyen, where seven young miners were laid to rest.
Eighty years later, in 1998, scientists extracted precious samples of the virus from the remains of the permafrost. ” As soon as Mikey said this, the faces of the people around him showed frightened looks.
"So," Mickey said, pointing to the cemetery looming halfway up the hill in the distance, "it was forbidden to bury the dead here more than seventy years ago.
In other words, even if a person dies suddenly, the body will be transported back to Norway itself. ” The crowd looked in the direction Mikey pointed, and dozens of white crosses could be faintly seen halfway up the mountainside, needless to say, it must have been the former public cemetery of the town.
At this time, everyone understood why there was such an impersonal law here.
It's all for the sake of the living here!
After following Mickey around the city and then heading back, Mickey will take the group to see another famous place in Longyearbyen, which is the "Doomsday Seed Bank", which is nicknamed the "Doomsday Bank".
The seed bank, which bears the world's last hope, is located on the Svalbard Hill, opposite Svalbard Airport, north of Longyearbybyen Harbour, and a building is clearly visible, far away.
"You've all seen the American disaster movie 2012, which was released in 2009, right?
In that movie, in order to prevent the end of the world caused by a great flood and lead to the extinction of humans and other species on the earth, humans built a huge square ship "Noah's Ark" to help humans and other creatures on Earth continue to survive on the day of the end of the world.
In fact, the prototype of this story comes from the "Hebrew Bible Genesis", in the original story, it took mankind 120 years to build the "Noah's Ark", and with the protection of the "Noah's Ark", mankind escaped.
Mickey asked as he walked.
Yang Jing and they all nodded, that movie was indeed a bit thrilling, the two most profound disaster movies in Yang Jing's memory, one is this "2012", and the other is "The Day After Tomorrow".
The former is the power of the sun, which has brought a major reshuffle to the earth.
Although the latter is not as powerful as the former, because of the death of human beings themselves, global warming has led to the entire northern hemisphere entering an ice age.
Coincidentally, both films are from the same disaster film master, Roland Emmerich.
"In fact, this seed bank was conceived even earlier than the movie "2012".
The original idea of the seed bank was born out of the International Convention on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture in 2004.
In June 2005, the Government of Norway formally proposed the Noah's Ark World Seed Project, which was supported by the Food and Agriculture Programme of the United Nations (FAO).
The Government of Norway is responsible for the financing, funded by the FAO Global Crop Diversity Trust and the Italian International Biodiversity Academic Society, with the Global Agrobiodiversity Trust helping to manage the seeds and day-to-day operations.
The initial construction cost was about $3 million, and the annual operating cost was $100,000 to $200,000, and the ground was officially broken in June 2006. ” "In the end, the total cost of building the seed bank was more than $9 million, all funded by the Norwegian government, and the ownership of the seeds stored in it went to the country where the seeds were stored.
It's like a bank.
Since the opening of the seed bank on February 26, 2008, ten years ago, it has stored about 8.25 million seeds from more than 200 countries and regions around the world, with a storage capacity of more than 80 million seeds. ” Yang Jing sighed with emotion: "So powerful!
” "Yes, that's how powerful this seed bank is.
In fact, the vast majority of countries in the world now have their own seed banks, and there are currently more than 1,400 seed banks in the world.
But the reason why it is known as the 'Doomsday Seed Bank' is because this seed bank is the 'absolute back-up' of the more than 1,400 other seed banks.
The seed bank is designed to store up to 3 million seeds and can store up to 1.5 billion different seeds. ” ps: Bow and thank "Ziyan Tianjiao" for the 100 tip.
