"The diversity of life is truly wondrous."
Watching the research vessel sail away into the distance, Lu Zheng released his Invisibility Technique. "I remember reading a joke before. It asked, why don't polar bears eat penguins?"
Shen Ying laughed when she heard that. "Because penguins live in Antarctica!"
Si Lingxi asked calmly, "Has no one considered sending polar bears to live in Antarctica, or sending a group of penguins to the Arctic?"
Lu Zheng, "..."
"If polar bears went to Antarctica, they'd probably be happy to death," Shen Ying said with a laugh. "But if penguins went to the Arctic, they probably wouldn't survive."
Even disregarding the differences in environment and temperature between the two poles, polar bears would have no natural enemies in Antarctica, and seals would all be their food. Penguins in the Arctic, on the other hand, would be in for a miserable time—besides seals, they would also have polar bears and walruses to deal with.
"Maybe because neither pole has sovereignty, no one dares shoulder the responsibility for wrecking the ecological balance," Lu Zheng could only say.
Lu Zheng remembered that when he was young, there had been quite a lot of publicity about Antarctica. It had seemed as though everyone was scrambling to stake a claim there, and Great Wall Station was famous far and wide.
But as he grew older, news and publicity about Antarctica seemed to become increasingly scarce. Even scientific expeditions and tourism to Antarctica had become perfectly ordinary things.
Shen Ying shrugged. "Isn't it precisely because there's no sovereignty that it doesn't matter if people destroy it as they please?"
Shen Ying's words made so much sense that Lu Zheng found himself unable to refute her. "Maybe it's because this kind of research doesn't hold any important significance."
If something truly
