A group of black and white dolphins.
Followed the wake of the 'Yunfan' yacht, gradually surpassing the vessel.
According to Yang Xu's estimation.
Their number was around twenty.
Perhaps more, but definitely not less than that.
Besides.
Yang Xu discovered a strange phenomenon.
While the number of viewers in the live stream was steadily rising.
Many foreign viewers were also entering the live stream through various channels...
Yang Xu turned to Yi Ying and asked:
"Did Discovery Channel do any media promotion after that?"
Earlier, Yang Xu had authorized some of his live stream footage.
To Discovery Channel for secondary editing.
And to be made into a documentary travel short film called 'Chasing the Aurora'.
Throughout the entire process of collaboration.
The progress of their production.
Would be 'reported' to Yang Xu via email.
Naturally, Yang Xu didn't have the time to deal with these matters.
So he had entrusted Yi Ying to be the liaison between him and Discovery Channel.
Hearing Yang Xu's question.
Yi Ying nodded in response:
"They did send us an email. Discovery released a promotional trailer. The entire 'Chasing the Aurora' film, should be made into four parts, right?"
Yang Xu nodded slightly.
Understanding the issue at hand.
Although the collaboration with Discovery had yet to fully ferment its influence.
But as it stood.
It had already yielded some results.
The number of viewers in the live stream was approaching two million.
It was another step closer to the next reward threshold for viewership~
…
"Besides that, some other foreign media outlets also covered it. I specially saved a few news articles. Do you want to take a look?"
As Yi Ying spoke, she handed her phone to Yang Xu.
She originally planned to use her phone to film the black and white dolphins.
Now it seemed like these adorable little dolphins weren't going to leave anytime soon.
So she decided to let Yang Xu look at the news first.
After the 'Yunfan' bid farewell to the South China Sea.
Whether it was the fluorescent sand beach discovered on the uninhabited volcanic island.
Or the chance encounter with the curious humpback whale calf.
Or the 'garbage island' witnessed in the Pacific Ocean.
The videos captured by Yang Xu and Yi Ying.
Although they were a step behind compared to domestic live streaming platforms and social media promotion.
But on YouTube and other foreign video websites, they did spark some reaction.
On one hand.
These two Oriental travelers, on their journey around the world, achieved harmonious interaction between humans and nature.
On the other hand.
They also documented the alarming sight of the 'Pacific garbage island'.
The survival environment of wildlife.
And the dire consequences of environmental pollution.
Western media loved this kind of stuff~
With the attention of foreign media.
The IUCN World Conservation Union.
Also published a preliminary proposal regarding the relaunching of the 'Ocean Cleanup' project.
The so-called 'Ocean Cleanup' project.
Was the use of ships to collect plastic waste from the Pacific garbage patch.
Turning it into reusable energy materials.
The 'Ocean Cleanup' project was implemented in 2011.
But it was put on hold due to funding issues.
Now, with Yang Xu's 'exposure' of the Pacific garbage island.
Media attention had increased.
The funding issue would also be resolved through this attention.
After reading through these news articles.
Yang Xu couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
People always love to focus on hot topics. Perhaps when the 'Pacific garbage island' becomes old news and forgotten.
This plan might be put on hold again due to lack of funds.
But in Yang Xu's view.
These things had nothing to do with him.
…
For this reason.
When the IUCN World Conservation Union published a column in 'Nature' magazine.
They didn't forget to sing praises of Yang Xu and Yi Ying.
"The alarming 'Pacific garbage island' is being brought back into focus, thanks entirely to two brave travelers from the East. They chose a path less traveled, and in their potentially isolated journey, they discovered a neglected corner of the Pacific that modern people have overlooked! They are guardians of the ocean environment, and they are the bell ringers warning of the need to protect the ocean ecosystem!"
This news truly left Yang Xu speechless.
He thought to himself: This Pacific Ocean, who cares about it anyway.
The ecological alarm bell, who cares who rings it.
What does it have to do with me?
…
The speed of information spreading on the internet is always astounding.
Concerning the IUCN World Conservation Union's praise.
Some of Yang Xu's followers also learned about it through various channels.
【Although I'm Xu Ge's ten-year old fan, the hype in 'Nature' magazine is a bit too much.】
【They're blowing it out of proportion. Guardian of the ocean environment, ecological alarm bell ringer, although my Xu Ge is awesome, you can't just praise him to death like that~ He's simply doing a round-the-world trip!】
【I told you, Xu Ge wouldn't just be popular, but would eventually become popular overseas. I'm truly a little prophet.】
【What's the meaning of international streamer now (tactical leaning back)~】
At the same time!
The real-time online viewership of Yang Xu's live stream finally broke through two million!
The system immediately issued a reminder feedback for the viewership reward:
【Congratulations! Host's viewership has successfully surpassed 2 million! You have received…
