Golden Fishery

  The fossil excavation work on Lake Shenbao has been going on, but it has not been started. Before that, it was all preparatory work, and the mining started directly in the spring.

  Billy’s job is to dive to explore the fossils at the bottom of the lake. Originally, this job was handed over to an underwater camera, but the underwater robot could not land at the bottom of Shenbao Lake because there was too much silt at the bottom of the lake and could only be explored by humans.

  The divers searched for the fossils at the bottom of the lake, and then marked them one by one. Based on the information they provided, the people at the National Fossil Museum used a salvage boat converted from a small submarine to salvage these fossils.

  The small submarine has a very flexible robotic arm, like a multi-armed monster, which can perform underwater cutting, gathering, collision, grabbing and other tasks.

  Relying on this small submarine, some fossil fragments were recovered in March. Because of the pressure and location at the bottom of the lake, these fossils could not be extracted in one go. They had to be dismembered and put together after being cleaned up ashore.

  In order to protect the salvage machinery and equipment, the work site of the Fossil Museum is closed and managed, and it is not that the staff cannot enter. Qin Shiou was able to take the lead in seeing the fossils this time, and I must thank Billy for his leadership.

  Large tents have recently been erected on the northern shore of Shenbao Lake. Anyway, there is a lot of wasteland on the farewell island, so you can put up tents at will.

  After Billy showed his work permit, someone took him into the front tent, and Tang Ji-Barton, who was more familiar with Qin Shiou, approached him.

   Seeing Barton, Qin Shiou took the initiative to greet him: “Hi, man, it’s been a long time since I saw you go fishing. Spring is a good time for night fishing, but it’s a bit cold at night. But it’s interesting, isn’t it?”

Barton smiled and said: "Yes, Qin, yes, night fishing in spring is a very interesting activity. But you saw it. Damn, I have too much work to do, no time to enjoy. Oh, God. If, I mean if, when my work is over, I must go out to sea for a week, and I won’t come back if I don’t catch a great white shark."

  Several people chatted, and a familiar voice sounded from behind: "Qin, long time no see."

  Qin Shiou looked back and saw Hamley striding over by the meteor. Was beckoning to him.

   "Why are you here?" Qin Shiou asked in surprise, "You are a busy Mr. Mayor, aren't you?"

Hamley laughed and said, "Man, are you telling the truth? Absolutely not, because the Qin in my impression is a straightforward young man. Well, I admit that I haven't invited you to be a guest for a long time. But I am really busy."

  Qin Shiou pointed to the fossil inside, and said, "Don't tell me, you are also in charge of the museum now."

   "If so, then the museum I manage must be the Natural History Museum in New York." Hamley smiled.

  This surprised the assistant mayor who followed him. In the eyes of this young assistant, Mr. Mayor seemed to be a rigorous and slightly old-fashioned ancient British gentleman.

  It turns out that people have two sides, the young assistant sighed. He knows Qin Shiou, and St. John's political circle knows this invisible rich man. He can't hide the fact that he provided Hamley with 50 million campaign funds.

  The fame of the New York Museum of Natural History comes more from a Hollywood blockbuster. "A Wonderful Night at the Museum." This film is very famous in Canada, especially Eastern Canada, because it was shot in Montreal, not in the United States.

  Joke, Hamley told the truth to Qin Shiou. This fossil project was the last political project he left over when he was the mayor, and now he is finally about to see results. How could he not show his face?

  Canada is different from China. Because it is composed of immigrants, this country has no history. Therefore, the government attaches great importance to the ability to show history even before the emergence of mankind.

  This can be seen from the advanced nature of the salvage equipment of the Fossil Museum and the amount of funds used. Qin Shiou read the report and said that the Canadian Central Government, the Newfoundland Provincial Government, the St. Johns City Government and the Farewell Town Government have four-fold funding.

  If you have a lot of effort and money, you must fully mine the fossils.

Qin Shiou sighed and said that the Canadian government is really hard at exploring history. Billy didn't take it seriously. This kind of fossil is the most valuable and can make Canada show its face internationally."

When Billy said that, Qin Shiou suddenly recalled the conversation with Balzac when he checked the fossils. Then he said that he had discovered a fish fossil that he hadn't seen before. It seems that it has now been developed.

  In this way, Qin Shiou asked enthusiastically: "Is there any results for this newly discovered fish fossil?"

  The reason he is interested is the black-capped giant insect, which has not been officially recognized yet. I don’t know if this unknown fish is related to the giant insect.

  Barton poured a basin of cold water: "I'm sorry, our observations made errors before. In fact, this fish fossil was unearthed before and was named'gill fish', which belongs to the prehistoric creatures of the Bai Period."

  Speaking, he led everyone to a wide long table, on which a complete fish fossil was assembled.

  Qin Shiou heard that the fossils of this fish had been unearthed before, so he lost interest. Billy also had this attitude.

Patton noticed the change in their attitude, so he laughed and said: "Although this kind of fossil has been discovered long ago, there are few complete fossils before, and the specific information is not known, so our fossils are still valuable. ."

  Hamley worked at the Fossil Museum and asked: "Are there any new developments in the research of this fossil?"

  Barton nodded and said: "Yes, there are some new understandings. We used to think that gill fish live by preying on molluscs because they have small and sharp teeth. In fact, this is not the case."

"Looking at fossils now, they should be similar to today's tarpon. The food is plankton and seaweed, and the feeding method is filter feeding, which is a bit like baleen whales. Of course, related research is still in progress, and I believe that more information will be obtained soon. "

  The most fossils come from the golden kitchen shark and mosasaur. They are deadly enemies in the ocean. In a certain era, they were predators of each other. Later, for some reason, the mosasaur grew bigger and became a more advanced predator, specializing in hunting golden kitchen sharks.

  For Mossaurus, people who have watched the latest "Jurassic World" are very impressed. The big boss Tyrannosaurus in the movie was finally swallowed by a Neptune Dragon, a species of Mossaurus.

When Mosasaur was introduced, Patton laughed and said: "The value of our batch of fossils lies not only in the gill fish, but also in these big guys. They bring us a little surprise, that is, the sword shooting fish." To be continued~^~)
