Chapter 91: The Mysterious North Latitude 30°
After all, it's not easy to capture the living habits of certain animals in the wild just by wanting to. Professional teams dedicated to filming wildlife, for example, often have to reside in a specific area for months or even years to capture footage of rare species in their natural habitats.
But Wu Hao is completely different. He can scan a wide range through his mental perception. If he comes across an animal he wants to film, he quietly flies over and uses telekinesis to control the camera, capturing the animal's behavior from a 360-degree perspective.
This way, Wu Hao can film the daily habits of these animals without disturbing them.
In other words, while it may take others months or even years to capture a few shots, Wu Hao can accomplish it in just a few hours or days.
Moreover, the quality of his footage far surpasses that of others. If a nature documentary of this caliber doesn't receive attention, it either means the viewer simply doesn't enjoy this type of program or they have poor taste.
In reality, although the audience for nature documentaries may not be as large as that of TV dramas and similar programs, it is still a considerable number.
After all, in China, there have been several highly successful documentary series in recent years, such as "A Bite of China" and various adventure programs.
Over the past few months, Wu Hao has received nearly one hundred million in copyright fees from these authorized media outlets, with the majority coming from the BBC, a foreign media organization.
Given that the BBC has a wider international reach compared to domestic media, they obtained the rights from Wu Hao and then sublicensed them to other television and online media organizations in different countries.
Moreover, these documentaries have decent viewership ratings and online streaming numbers, so it's reasonable for Wu Hao to earn around 100 million RMB in a few months.
After all, these days, even an average popular TV drama can earn more money than that, not to mention movies.contemporary romance
"Now that the development of the base no longer requires me to stay there all the time, I can focus on filming the next series of documentaries!" After another month of construction, Wu Hao's base now has a considerable number of automated equipment and industrial robots. Therefore, most of Wu Hao's work, including equipment manufacturing and laboratory experiments, can be done remotely by controlling these automated devices and robots.
As for the construction of the genetic research laboratory at the base, it is still in the early stages. Developing and manufacturing the necessary instruments and equipment alone is a massive undertaking.
Moreover, the internal space of the base is still limited, so expanding the internal space is necessary to build the laboratory. However, during this month, Wu Hao has been busy designing and manufacturing various devices, such as more advanced automation equipment and industrial robots.
Because only with more advanced and automated equipment can Wu Hao free himself from the need to personally handle everything. If this problem is not addressed, even if Wu Hao can use telekinesis for precise manufacturing, he will still be overwhelmed.
Now that the base has the initial capability to complete manufacturing tasks without Wu Hao's direct involvement, and considering that his previous documentary series is about to finish airing, Wu Hao plans to allocate some time to continue filming the next series of documentaries.
After all, according to Wu Hao's original plan, a new episode of the documentary series should be released every week. In fact, if it weren't for the urgency of establishing the genetic research laboratory to find a treatment for his father's illness, Wu Hao wouldn't have to be in such a rush to focus on the construction and development of the base.
Because Wu Hao's original purpose in establishing this base was mainly to facilitate his own tinkering with some black technology products for his own use, namely his aircraft project.
His initial goal in building this aircraft was to enable himself to fly during the day without being noticed by others. However, for now, he has temporarily set aside his aircraft project.
After all, all the resources of the base are now used to manufacture advanced genetic research equipment. These devices not only have a wide range of categories but are also highly sophisticated and precise instruments.
Manufacturing these things is a process of starting from scratch for Wu Hao. Although there have been significant achievements in the research and manufacturing of such instruments in some developed countries abroad, what Wu Hao aims to do is to develop even more advanced equipment than what currently exists in the world.
Through covert network infiltration, Wu Hao has secretly infiltrated some foreign genetic research institutions and observed their equipment. He found that the technological level of the devices in these research institutions does not meet his research requirements, so he can only research and design more advanced equipment.
As for the location where Wu Hao plans to shoot the documentary, it has already been selected. It is the Shenlongjia Forest Area, not far from the Qinling Mountains. Shenlongjia, located at the mysterious North Latitude 30°, has always been shrouded in various mystical legends.
The most famous among them is undoubtedly the wild man of Shenlongjia. Of course, apart from the area deep within Shenlongjia that few people venture into, the vicinity of the highest peak, Shenlong Summit, has long been developed into a nationally renowned 5A-level scenic area.
Since Wu Hao has decided to enter Shenlongjia to shoot a wildlife documentary, he will definitely avoid the areas near the tourist attractions. Although there are many daredevil adventurers these days who are not afraid to venture into the depths of Shenlongjia for exploration, none of them have made any substantial progress.
In fact, Wu Hao has long had a plan in mind, which is to explore the fascinating regions located on this magical latitude of the Earth, with China being his primary target.
There are many areas in China near the 30° North Latitude that are associated with various mysterious events. For example, Shenlongjia, the infamous Devil's Triangle in the Poyang Lake near Huaxia, as well as the Yangtze River, the Himalayan mountain range, and so on.
On this 30° North Latitude line, not only are there these regions with mysterious events, but also areas historically prone to frequent earthquakes are located near this latitude.
For instance, several major earthquakes in China over the past decade have occurred in proximity to this mystical latitude. It can be said that this is a mysterious and disaster-prone latitude line.
