Chapter 318 Beast Soul Monument
Fang Ye took a break and then began to consider the construction of an animal cemetery again.
After White Brow died in a fight for the title of Monkey King, he had thought about this matter, but it was postponed due to the rescue work for the green peafowl.
After the animals in the zoo died, they generally had to be autopsied to check for diseases or pathological changes and to find the causes of death. This was also an important means of improving the zoo's medical level.
Bodies with intact fur could be made into specimens for educational purposes for visitors.
Turning this death into the next life!
Animals deserve respect even after death, so Fang Ye wanted to build a cemetery to commemorate the animals that had died in the zoo.
Of course, there would be no animal bodies in the cemetery. Apart from the parts used for specimens, the rest needed to be processed for harmlessness.
"Harmless processing" didn't mean something like killing a wild boar and stir-frying its meat to eat. Harmless processing meant methods like incineration, burial, or carcass disposal ponds, to prevent the spread of pathogens.
Fang Ye thought about it, and decided the cemetery didn't need to be too lavish. A simple monument would suffice to represent all the animals.
On the Qingming Festival, he would bring the employees to offer a tribute to remember the joy the animals brought to visitors during their lives and their contributions to science education, both in life and death.
Although the system's buildings didn't include tombstones, it still had ornaments for stone tablets!
After Fang Ye chose a simple black stone tablet, he inscribed the words "Beast Soul Monument" on it and erected it on the open ground next to the veterinary hospital.
...
The system construction team was still very fast, and the tombstone was erected the next day! Indeed, there was no complex work involved.
The restrained black tombstone quietly stood under the shade of the trees.
Early in the morning, before the zoo opened, all the zoo staff came here.
"Thank you for your hard work, and thank you very much!"
Under Fang Ye's lead, after the staff recited these words together, they bowed their heads in silence to mourn the animals that had died in the zoo.
A solemn and quiet atmosphere descended, free from noisy sounds, only occasionally interrupted by the chirping of birds on the branches.
The wind blew through the branches, rustling the leaves.
It was very similar to the experience he had when using the Eye of Observation to look at animals!
When he selected the video play option, it was like watching a 3D movie right before his eyes, a truly immersive experience that was nothing short of incredible.
The next step was to have the staff input the information into the database. With so many animals, the project was quite extensive.
Another task was to find Zhao Chan to design merchandise for Linhai Zoo.
As a college student who hadn't yet graduated and had taken on some small personal projects before, this was her first time dealing with such a large order, and Zhao Chan did not dare to take it lightly!
She was aware of the situation at Linhai Zoo. Apart from plushie brooches, there were no creative products; nailing this could lead to an abundance of collaboration opportunities!
When Fang Ye asked what to design, he suggested starting with clothing since zoo souvenirs typically prioritize clothes.
Zhao Chan was meticulous in her design efforts, even seeking guidance from a fashion teacher.
So far, she had come up with two hoodie designs and sent pictures to Fang Ye.
One tiger hoodie was white with a tiger's head on the left chest.
The back had a hood printed with an image of a tiger resting in front of a pond—an obvious snapshot of the zoo's pond, with the tiger being Jiaojiao, gazing into the distance with a gentle and calm look.
The other, a red panda hoodie, was black. The chest featured a red panda's head, and on the back was a green bamboo forest scene with a red panda sprawling on a tree branch, eyes closed, shaking its white butterfly-like ears, fast asleep, with its tail hanging down, looking very cute.
Zhao Chan said, "Director, the tiger hoodie's main color is white because the tiger's belly is white, right? And it also makes it easier to distinguish from the background."
Fang Ye joked, "I get it, the red panda hoodie is black because their bellies are black!"
Zhao Chan replied, "Exactly! And there are two styles for each hoodie, one with a zipper and one without."
Fang Ye opened the pictures and perused them for a while, "They look pretty good!"
Hearing this, Zhao Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Clients often have various revision requests, but Fang Ye was rather straightforward. Satisfied with the results, he gave immediate approval.
All that was left was to find a factory to produce them. Fang Ye planned to call his parents to ask for advice. Although his own family didn't work in this field, they probably knew of some reliable garment factories.
They could even make children's sizes and create family sets. A family of three could come to play and buy three pieces to take home.
He communicated with Zhao Chan again, asking her to design more styles. A yellow hoodie for lions, a red one for red foxes; they would definitely be popular with the visitors.
