"The current situation is that the carnivores in the Qinling region capable of posing a threat to wild boars are already on the verge of extinction.
Without the restriction of natural enemies, the wild boar population will rise exponentially.
In fact, it's not just wild boars; the number of takins has also significantly increased in recent years.
Takin without natural predators not only compete with wild boars for food but also destroy the mating signals left by pandas in the mountains, making natural panda breeding a problem.
Having said that, Yang Lin stopped talking.
Even so, everyone understood the deeper meaning of his words.
Clearly, even if they reduced the wild boar population through hunting, their numbers would rebound in a short period.
And it wasn't just wild boars; the same applied to takins.
The reason for this was the scarcity of large carnivores that could control their numbers.
"Alas, in the end, we are just repaying the debts left by our ancestors."
"Who's to say otherwise? If there were even one tiger in a region, wild boars wouldn't be reigning supreme."
"Director Yang's analysis is indeed thorough. I wonder if he has any concrete solutions."
"What solution could Director Yang have? Perhaps he'll transfer tigers from various zoos to the Qinling Mountains for duty, a sort of 'South Tiger North Transfer'."
"That's a joke. Most tigers in zoos, if released into the wild, would starve to death the next day."
"It's a pity pandas don't eat pork, otherwise, they could contend with wild boars to some extent."
"Don't worry, since Director Yang raised this issue, he must have a solution."
...
As everyone chimed in, Yang Lin continued to speak.
"During our trip to the mountains, besides estimating the wild boar population, we also monitored the movements of wild boar herds by installing GPS trackers."
As he spoke, Yang Lin operated his computer, and a moment later, a satellite map appeared on the monitor.
In addition to the satellite map, the constantly moving red dots also caught everyone's attention.
"As you can see, each red dot represents a wild boar herd."
"A wild boar herd typically consists of one adult sow and her offspring from one to three generations."
"Therefore, in the short term, without being able to resolve the broken upstream food chain for wild boars, we can only focus on these adult sows."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the live stream erupted.
"Director Yang is amazing, truly a man skilled in postpartum care for sows."
"How will you 'focus' on them? You can't possibly sterilize all the sows in the Qinling Mountains, that's even harder than killing them."
"I suggest we select sturdy adult boars from various pig farms and release them into the Qinling Mountains. Let these boars compete for breeding rights with the wild boars. Within two years, all wild boars will turn into domestic pigs."
"Good heavens, you've truly mastered the art of 36 stratagems, even employing the 'Beauty Stratagem' for pigs."
"I don't think it's advisable. What if the domestic pigs released into the mountains become wild? Domestic pigs have stronger genes than wild boars and are larger. The offspring produced might be even stronger than the current wild boars, leading directly to a 'feral pig disaster'."
"Is there any possibility of tampering with the boars' sperm, making them infertile?"
"You people are all geniuses. You should be the experts."
...
Just as the viewers in the live stream were brimming with ideas inspired by Yang Lin, his next words caught them off guard.
"I've already notified our park. If all goes well, the three adult male wild boars housed at Xihong Zoo will be sent here tomorrow. I will then arrange for them to be released into the mountains."
"We will use them to lure the wild boars down from the mountains, and then proceed with their domestication."
As Yang Lin finished speaking, the entire audience fell silent.
Especially the netizens who had just voiced their opinions in the live stream.
"Amazing, amazing! Where is that big shot from just now? They actually guessed Director Yang's idea."
"Clearly, Director Yang's plan is more comprehensive. He's not arranging domestic pigs, but bringing in his own pigs."
"Yes, yes. The pigs in farms nowadays are all fat and white. I doubt wild boars would even take a second look."
"They are all wild boars, after all. The wild boars in the mountains will surely lower their guard."
"Are Director Yang's wild boars considered traitors?"
"Hahaha, this is what you call 'controlling pigs with pigs'."
"Director Yang has truly mastered biological control."
"But isn't Director Yang afraid those wild boars will also escape?"
"Escape? Their wives and children are still at Xihong Zoo. This is like holding their piglets hostage to control the wild boars."
"Tch, do you think they'd trade their official positions at Xihong Zoo to run wild in the mountains? It's not like they're all Liangshan heroes."
...
At this point, the crowds' understanding of how to manage the pig problem suddenly became clear.
Although Yang Lin's proposed method sounded somewhat absurd, the leaders from the Forestry Bureau at this moment showed him their unconditional trust.
That same day, they dispatched personnel to Xihong Zoo and, overnight, transported the three adult male wild boars from Xihong Zoo to Weinan.
The scale of the operation made one think they were transporting giant pandas.
Even the media reported and live-streamed the entire event.
While everyone's attention was focused on the three wild boars, Yang Lin, taking advantage of the diversion, ascended the Qinling Mountains alone that night.
As soon as he entered the forest, a mysterious power surged into his body from the earth.
This sensation instantly reminded him of his time at sea, where everything around him felt so familiar.
He immediately let out a long howl and leaped into the air, swinging from a vine on a nearby tree.
At this moment, he felt as if he had become one with the forest.
Running, leaping, swinging.
Sometimes like a leopard, sometimes like an antelope, and at other times like a monkey.
In less than ten minutes, Yang Lin had traversed several mountain peaks, quickly moving from the outskirts to the interior of the Qinling Mountains.
When he reached the top of a tree dozens of meters high, the entire mountain landscape unfolded before his eyes.
Gazing at the forest, bathed in the darkness of night, Yang Lin, filled with emotion, opened his mouth again.
The next moment, a wild call imbued with special power echoed throughout the mountains and wilds.
Simultaneously, from all corners of the surrounding forest, black figures of various sizes rapidly converged towards his location.
A peculiar spectacle soon emerged under the moonlight."
