Chapter 1524 Collusion

The UAV Nehbet has made great contributions during the trip to Egypt. Without it, Zhang Zian and his party may not be able to leave the desert at all, or they may be forced to turn back after only two or three days in the desert.

After leaving the desert, he bought it from Binhai University as a second-hand item. It is usually well maintained, and there are few scratches. He takes it out and uses it from time to time, because electronic products are not afraid of being used, and they are not used, especially when going to the beach When picking up the sea or taking Shihua out of the sea in an assault boat, there are drones monitoring the sky. If there is a ship passing by nearby, it can be spotted from a distance.

Now is the time for it to show its talents again, neither the power grid nor the vicious dog is in its eyes.

Zhang Zian assembled the propeller, battery, and gimbal camera, carefully controlled it to take off, and waited for it to fly out of the sparse woods at a steady and low speed, then gave it the command to climb, and climbed to the surveillance camera at the fastest speed. out of sight.

Nakhbet was responsive, climbed up almost in a straight line, and transmitted the captured images to the screen of the remote control in real time.

The entire slaughterhouse is unobstructed.

As Zhang Zian guessed, this slaughterhouse is not big in size, except for the only entrance and exit, the whole is surrounded by electric grids, and there are people in security uniforms patrolling the factory area with ferocious Doberman pinschers on their leads.

The entrance and exit are on the other side of the slaughterhouse, in the opposite direction to Zhang Zian, a simple road stretches into the forest.

The drone can't see what's going on inside the factory, and he doesn't want to see the bloody dismemberment.

At this moment, a convoy came from the distance of the road, all of them were uniform transport vehicles, the body part of which was modified and closed with iron cages.

The convoy stopped at the gate, and after the security verified their identities, they opened the gate to let the convoy in.

Some employees walked out of the factory building, opened the truck body, drove the electric forklift to move the iron cages in the car, and sent them to the factory building one after another.

It can be clearly seen through the lens of the drone that these iron cages are filled with deer, including white-tailed deer, black-tailed deer, sika deer and so on.

As if they had a premonition of their own fate, the deer shook their heads and croaked restlessly in the narrow cage.

It is worth noting that each car in the convoy has the logo of a certain deer farm on the body.

what happened?

Zhang Zian guessed before,

The slaughterhouse may collect dead deer in the forest for processing, or even illegally hunt wild deer to reduce costs, but there is a loophole in this guess that is difficult to answer, that is, how does the slaughterhouse know where the wild deer died.

The forest is vast, and the wild deer that died naturally or died of chronic wasting disease may die anywhere. Before finding these deer carcasses, the carcasses may have been eaten up by scavengers in the forest.

Looking at it now, the raw materials of the slaughterhouse are live deer bought from the farm?

Did he wrong the manufacturer of Leshi dog food?

This means that previous guesses may have to be overthrown and restarted. Although it is difficult for him to accept it, he cannot let a bad person go, nor can he wrong a good person.

The drone hovered very high in the sky, and none of the employees on the ground looked up at the sky, so he was not worried about being noticed for the time being.

This is not a popular hiking route, and there will be no tourists coming. In fact, most of the time the security guards are pretending to work leisurely and safely.

Just when he was about to order the drone to return, he suddenly noticed the name of the farm on the car body, thought about it, ordered the drone to hover, and then tried to open the webpage.

open...open...open...

He thought to himself, after a few seconds, the webpage was still displayed although it was slow, it seems that the Internet is indeed available here.

He searched for news related to the farm, took a quick glance, and noticed an unremarkable piece of news that was ranked low.

According to the news, as deer chronic wasting disease has spread from the central United States to the western United States, and deer suspected of being infected have been found in sporadic areas of California, the California Deer Hunters Association has taken radical measures in order to prepare for a rainy day , A series of related bills were proposed in the state assembly, and the most controversial proposal was that if any deer was found to be infected with a disease in any farm, all deer in the farm would be forced to be killed.

Before that, if similar infectious diseases broke out in other animals, such as swine fever, chicken fever, mad cow disease, etc., the policy of killing one infected individual was adopted, but this time it was the turn of the deer. On the other hand, deer farmers refuse to do so.

Another proposal would ban the excrement of captive deer, including blood and semen, from entering or leaving California.

A third proposal would ban new deer farms and require existing deer farms to have higher fences to prevent captive deer from escaping.

The reason why the Deer Hunters Association proposed these three bills is that so far, in areas where deer wasting disease has been found, most of the epidemics broke out from deer farms, and then it was suspected to spread to wild deer, and then spread.

If the disease is allowed to spread in California, it will seriously threaten the survival of the wild deer herd. If the wild deer are all dead, wouldn't the Deer Hunters Association exist in name only?

These three proposals were of course strongly resisted by various deer farms in California. They believed that there was no evidence to prove that the deer wasting disease broke out from the farms. Besides, who paid for the heightening of the fence? Who is responsible for the losses of the farmers?

The two factions are fighting each other in the state legislature, and each actively uses all resources to lobby the state legislators to support itself.

At present, the two factions have not yet decided the winner, but the balance of victory and defeat has quietly tilted towards the Deer Hunters Association.

Due to the continuous spread of deer chronic wasting disease and rumors that the disease may be transmitted from deer to humans, many ordinary people who thought it had nothing to do with themselves began to worry secretly. Most ordinary people don't care about the life and death of captive deer and wild deer, and they don't care about the losses of those capitalists in the farms. As long as they can effectively eliminate the dangers they may face, they are willing to vote with their feet, and state legislators must take into account the will of voters .

Once the Deer Hunters Association wins, it is conceivable that deer farmers in California will suffer serious losses.

After reading this news, Zhang Zian tried to deduce from the standpoint of a deer farmer that if I were the owner of a deer farm and saw that the struggle in the state legislature was at a disadvantage, I might suffer huge losses. Before being forced to kill the deer, try to sell all the deer in captivity first? Even if it is sold at a low price, it is better than being killed unconditionally.

There is an old Chinese saying that if a family is rich, those with hair are not counted. It is really very philosophical and forward-looking.

So it makes sense.

In fact, the place where the Deer Hunters Association and the deer breeders are fighting in the Congress is Minnesota. For the sake of the plot, it is arranged in California.
