"A mere garbage dump, even if it grows trees and becomes a small forest, the biological density is too high. It can be seen that this should be a world with extremely rich species. First, look at the garbage with text information to see if you can see it. What kind of world is it?" Su Jing pondered, and began to observe other garbage.

Among the garbage this time, there is no paper garbage, maybe in the time and space, there is no paper at all.However, there are some animal skin scrolls and some bamboo slips with written information on them.Su Jing integrated them and browsed them quickly.Some useful information was quickly sorted out in his mind: Dongshan, Nanshan, Xishan, Beishan, Zhongshan, Hainei, Overseas, Great Wilderness, Lilliputian Country, Qingqiu Country, Women's Country, Kunlun Zhixu, Kuafu, Xuanyuan, Huang Di, Chi You, Xing Tian, ​​Yu Shiqie, Zhu Rong, Qiong Qi, Bi Fangniao, Lovebird...

Su Jing was running the way in the word door, thinking at a high speed, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he exclaimed: "My God, is this the time and space of "Shan Hai Jing"?"

The more Su Jing thought about it, the more she felt that there should be no mistake. "Shan Hai Jing" is a time and space with a vast land, rich resources, myths and legends, and many magical species, including Dongshan, Nanshan, Xishan, Beishan, Zhongshan, Hainei, Haiwai, and Great Wilderness. In magical countries such as the Women's Kingdom, there are also characters in myths and legends such as Kuafu Zhuri, Emperor Chi You, and Zhu Rong.To sum it up in one sentence, this is an ancient mythical time and space.

"Shan Hai Jing" contains all kinds of mountains and rivers, birds and beasts, and there are countless species in it, including legendary creatures such as Qiongqi, Bifangniao, lovebirds, white-footed Australian woodrat, Australian ramrat, and Cypriot squirrel. The Seychelles giant tortoise, the golden-spotted swallowtail, the Kashenf, the Seychelles swallowtail, the dodo, etc., are not surprising at all.

However, in the Shan Hai Jing, they may be too common and unknown, and their names must be different from those of the earth.For example, the white-footed Australian woodrat is named after the place name in Australia, which is definitely not called in the Book of Mountains and Seas. For example, Kashenfu, the ghost and beauty, is named after a foreigner, and it is even more impossible to call it this in the Book of Mountains and Seas.

The names are different, but the species can be the same, or similar.For some extinct species, humans can only speculate on their appearance based on fossils, bones, and portraits, such as the dodo. In fact, even the people of Mauritius are not sure about what they look like.Because the dodo was extinct at the end of the seventeenth century, it has been extinct for 400 years, who still remembers what it looks like?

In early pictures, the dodo has always been a fat, goofy image.Until February 2002, the National Geographic Society reported that Andrew Kitchener, a biologist at the Royal Scottish Museum, pointed out in his research report on the dodo that those ancient pictures were all captured dodos. The image of the dodo overweight.

The climate in Mauritius alternates between wet and dry, and the dodo must store a large amount of fat in the wet season when food is abundant to resist the lack of food in the dry season.Therefore, once captured, the dodo will easily become obese with sufficient food provided by humans.But many dodos in the wild are actually very thin.There are different opinions, so as long as they are similar, no one can tell even if there is a difference.

"No wonder, it turned out to be the time and space of Shan Hai Jing, so this pair of birds should really be the legendary lovebirds." Su Jing looked at the pair of beautiful blue-red birds, they were very strange to see apart, because each had only one wing , One eye, of course, can't fly.Only when two birds match wings can they fly freely.

When she first saw them, Su Jing thought of lovebirds, their characteristics are too obvious.However, it was a little hard to believe that I would actually see this legendary creature.Everyone has heard the idiom "flying together with wings", but who has seen it?

"Since it is the time and space of Shan Hai Jing, then we should pay more attention to these animals and plants. There should be treasures unearthed inside." Su Jing thought, at this moment, the phone rang, and it was Ye Bo who called. I couldn't help but smiled, and answered the phone.

"A Jing, where are you?" Ye Bo was a little out of breath.

"At home." Su Jing said.

"You are really leisurely. Do you know how unnatural the animals you put in Zhongyun Zoo are?" Ye Bo said excitedly.

"Of course I know it myself, otherwise I wouldn't have taken over the zoo. You've been to the scene to see it, right?" Su Jing said.

"I just saw it. The traffic jam made me feel stuck. It took two or three hours to get there, but it was worth it. It was worth it. But you brought so many golden-spotted swallowtail butterflies to the zoo, and there are still six An extinct species, didn't the higher-ups look for you?" Ye Bo said.

"Don't worry, I've done everything and been approved. However, after the opening of Zhongyun Zoo, I received a lot of calls, including calls from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It seems that many foreign governments are looking for me." Su Jing smiled and said.

"This is for sure, especially the dodos. Mauritius must be desperately trying to get one or two back." Ye Bo said, it is not difficult to guess the mood of the people of Mauritius, and said, "You are at home, right? Go find you at your house."

"What are you doing at my house?" Su Jing was taken aback.

"I want to talk to you face to face. Where did you get those extinct species? Also, based on what I know about you, I think you must have hidden something good." When I got up, I forgot about the ways of the world, and even forgot to ask Su Jing if he would like it.

Su Jing thought for a while, looked at those strangely shaped plants, and said, "Okay, come here, just help me take a look."

Chapter 55 Chinese ancient fruit

Hearing that Su Jing asked him to take a look, Ye Bo suddenly became excited.I thought to myself, I did not guess wrong, Su Jing really still has something good hidden.

He couldn't wait, and rushed to Su Jing's house as fast as he could. Fortunately, there was no traffic jam this time.However, before he arrived, Zhou Xixian arrived first.

"Old Zhou, why are you here?" Su Jing opened the door to greet him.

"Haha, I smell archeology." Zhou Xi smiled casually. He had naturally heard about Zhongyun Zoo. He was also very curious about those extinct creatures, but his major was archaeology, not paleontology. , the research directions sometimes overlap, but there are still differences, so I am not as excited as Ye Bo.But he has an intuition that Su Jing even created creatures that have been extinct for hundreds of years. Is it possible that some ancient relics have been discovered?If so, it's definitely worth looking into.Now he almost has a feeling that it is better to test Su Jing directly for archaeology and archaeology.

"Ahem, you may be thinking too much." Su Jing smiled.

"Hey, I trust my intuition." Zhou Xi said with a smile.

"Well then, Mr. Ye will be here in a while. I have something to show him. Why don't you wait for him to come with me? I'll make you a pot of tea." Su Jing said.

"The old guy is coming too, well, I'm not in a hurry." Zhou Xi said with a smile, in fact, his eyes lit up when he heard that there was tea to drink, and the eyes of the assistants who accompanied him also lit up.

Who has never drank tea before? Ordinary tea is not worth a surprise, but the tea made by Su Jing is not ordinary. Dahongpao and others have to stand aside. Dahongpao can be drunk in other places, but Su Jing’s Tea, only this one.Those who have drank it will never forget it, and those who have not drank it have at least heard of the Sky Grass Carp Supreme VIP area. A cup of six-inch green tea costs [-] yuan.This makes ordinary people can only think about it and can't afford to drink it at all.Now when I come to Su Jing's house, if I can have a drink, I would be so happy.

They were looking forward to it in their hearts, and they really expected it. Su Jing really brewed a pot of six-inch green tea and poured them a cup. They didn't dare to drink it too fast, and tasted it carefully.Soon one after another showed signs of intoxication, and even those who don't usually drink tea, felt the enjoyment of tea tasting for the first time.

After it was over, Su Jing gave them all a cigarette, which made them fascinated. Needless to say, this must be the legendary Su's cigarette.The ones taken out from Su Jing's hands must not be 50 yuan a box, but high-end products, maybe even the top 1 yuan a box.Of course, they can't usually afford this level of smoking, so they take it slowly at this time, savoring it carefully, hoping that the time will pass slowly.

They couldn't help feeling that it would be great if they were Su Jing's good friends. Would it be better if they came to eat and drink? If they were Su Jing's family members, it would be even better. treatment.

After a while, Ye Bo and a young man came. They had been stuck in the car for several hours before, and visited the Zhongyun Zoo in a crowded environment. When they came here again, they looked exhausted and exhausted.After drinking a cup of six-inch green tea, I immediately felt refreshed and felt a lot of energy restored.

However, Ye Bo is not in the mood to drink tea now, and said: "Ah Jing, what you said you want to show me, quickly show it."

"I haven't been in a hurry after sitting for so long, why are you in a hurry?" Zhou Xixian said.

"What Ah Jing showed me was not for you, why are you in such a hurry? What are you doing here if you have nothing to do? Go back to your archaeological research institute." Ye Bo retorted.

The two of them are usually fine, but when it comes to professional issues, when they are more excited, they quarrel again, they are simply enemies.

"Stop arguing, I'll take it out right away, and everyone will watch it together." Su Jing smiled, entered the room, and brought out a pot of plants first.Naturally, there are more than one kind of plants from the time and space of Shan Hai Jing, but Su Jing wanted to let them see this kind first.

"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback when they saw the plants brought out by Su Jing.I saw that the pot was half filled with water, and the plant was floating on the water, about [-] centimeters high, with underdeveloped roots, thin and deeply lobed leaves, and dozens of follicles growing spirally on the reproductive branches. The skin is folded and closed, and the fruit is densely elongated.

"What kind of plant is this?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it before."

"Why do I think it has an inexplicable sense of disobedience."

A few assistants stared and pondered.If ordinary people see it, I am afraid they will laugh at them, isn't it just a water plant, what is there to be emotional about.

"Wait a minute, the seeds of this plant are covered with peels, and they are angiosperms. However, they grow in water, are small and tender, and don't look like woody plants, but herbaceous plants. This phenomenon..." Ye Bo Thinking about it, as if he suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Oh my god, I read it right."

"You seem to want to go with me." Zhou Xixian also looked solemn.

"This is impossible." Ye Bo looked in disbelief.

"I also think it's impossible, but it seems that the facts are in front of me." Zhou Xixian said.

The two elders turned their heads to look at Su Jing, as if they were looking at a monster. They had always felt that Su Jing was amazing, but never once, it was so strong at this moment, even if the ruins of Atlantis came out, even if the extinct animals came out, it was not like this strong.

"Miss Ye, what are you talking about?"

"Teacher Zhou, what exactly is this?"

Several assistants couldn't see it, so they were very curious.

Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian didn't seem to be sure, checked the information for a while, exhaled heavily, and then announced: "If we read correctly, this should be an ancient Chinese fruit."

"Ancient Chinese fruit? Wait, isn't that a plant from ancient times?"

"As I remember, it seems to be a plant more than 1 million years ago."

"Shouldn't this kind of ancient fruit only exist in fossils?"

Several assistants were dumbfounded, they finally understood why Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian were so shocked, and the way they looked at Su Jing became like they were looking at monsters.If you are lucky enough to find a creature that has been extinct for 100 years or hundreds of years, it's fine.However, more than 1 million years ago, what an ancient era, and how many times the species have been replaced, it is impossible for plants to exist. How could you have it? Could it be that you traveled here more than 1 million years ago?Or, it is the old monster that has survived from more than 1 million years ago, so it can take out the plants more than 1 million years ago, take out the things of the Atlantis ruins more than 1 years ago, and take out the extinct Animals that have lived for hundreds of years... No wonder they are thinking about it, after all, it is really incredible.

Chapter 56 Numb

"It turns out that it is really an ancient Chinese fruit. It seems that I am not mistaken." Su Jing said with a smile. He also checked the information before, but he was not sure.

Seeing Su Jing's heartless appearance, both Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian couldn't help but want to strangle him to death. Do you know how shocking the plant you took out is?Of course, they are excited at the same time.Because this ancient Chinese fruit is really valuable.

The ancient Chinese fruit, the "earliest flower in the world" that bloomed in the western Liaoning region of China 1.45 million years ago, is a legend in the world of paleontology and archaeology.

The ancient Chinese fruit fossil was discovered by Sun Ge, Ji Qiang and others in the Lingyuan area of ​​western Liaoning in 2000.Scientists have established this now-extinct ancient group of angiosperms as a new family of early angiosperms - "Paleofruitaceae".Studies have shown that the ancient Chinese fruit is probably the ancestor of all flowers, fruits and grains in the world today.

This major discovery is a new breakthrough in the study of the origin and early evolution of angiosperms around the world. The US magazine "Science" published on May 2002, 5, published the papers of the leading scientists of this achievement, Professor Sun Ge of Jilin University and researcher Ji Qiang of the Chinese Academy of Geology, as an important part of the cover article.

The morphological characteristics of angiosperms such as the ancient fruit of China are more surprising than those of its time. According to the traditional theory of botany, angiosperms evolved from a type of shrub similar to the existing magnolia plants. However, the ancient Chinese fruit The fruit is a small, delicate aquatic plant, more like a herbaceous plant.

In August 2003, another international research team published another possible explanation for the ancient Chinese fruit in the journal "New Trends in Botany", which believed that the ancient Chinese fruit was very likely to grow completely submerged in water.In addition, using different taxonomic features to analyze the pedigree obtained, the position of the ancient fruit in the pedigree became ambiguous, not as the basis of the flowering plant pedigree as the first group of research teams thought, so they couldn't help asking: "Shina Ancient fruit, the ancestor of flowering plants, or just a specialized early flowering plant?"

According to the Science and Technology Daily, when the American "Discovery" magazine introduced the result under the title "The Earliest Flower Fragrance", Darwin said that because of angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, they suddenly appeared in the middle and late Cretaceous period (about 1 million years ago to 6500 years ago). Wannian) appeared in large numbers, but they were puzzled by the clues of their ancestors and early evolution, which were called "nasty mystery".

Now, it is no longer a fossil, but there is such a living ancient Chinese fruit in front of us. Everything is completely different, and the "hate mystery" is likely to be solved.

The origin of human beings and the origin of species have always been the topics we are studying, because they are related to the evolution of human beings and species, and the future of human beings.

"Great, with this living ancient Chinese fruit, there is no need to guess based on fossils anymore, and many mysteries may be solved." Ye Bo said excitedly.

"This should also be of great help to archeology," Zhou Xixian said.

"What do you mean by that? This is obviously a paleontology. I should definitely bring it back to the graduate student of paleontology. Don't mix it up." Ye Bo said.

"This is related to the ancient environment [-] million years ago. Archaeology, of course, has a lot to do with me." Zhou Xixian stared.

Accidentally, the two quarreled again, making Su Jing and several assistants very helpless.But I also know that their bickering is a bickering, but generally nothing will happen.In fact, the assistants were also very excited. How amazing is it to witness a creature that lived more than 1 million years ago?When this news gets out, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole country and the world, because this is a worldwide breakthrough and it is also a miracle.

In the end, seeing that they couldn't stand the quarrel, Su Jing took out another ancient Chinese fruit, one for each of them, and they stopped arguing.

The last time they competed for spider fossils, Su Jing sold them to them in the form of auction, but this time it was given to them for free for research, because Su Jing doesn't care much about the money now, and the asking price is too high, and they can't buy it. rise.What he cares more about is being able to research something, bring a lot of good sensations and influences to the earth, and gain recovery.

"A Jing, where did you get so many extinct animals, and this ancient Chinese fruit, logically speaking, it is impossible for it to survive." Ye Bo couldn't help asking.

"Hehe, nothing is impossible. The world is full of wonders. The facts are right in front of you. Don't you believe it? Besides this one, there are a few other plants. Do you want to take a look too?" Su Jing said, Deliberately off topic.

"Anything else?" Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian stared.

"Yes." Su Jing nodded.

"Of course I have to see it, take it out quickly." The second elder and several assistants were very excited.

Su Jing went into the house again, and this time moved a few plants out at once, all of which were small plants planted in flowerpots.Their shapes are very special.

"Hey, isn't this..." A young man pointed to one of the plants, seeming to remember something, but couldn't name it all at once.

"Sun Moon Lake lamb ear garlic!" another young man whispered.

"Huh?" Ye Bo showed surprise, stared at it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Xiao Wu, you read that right, this is indeed Sun Moon Lake lamb's ear garlic."

I saw that the plant they called Sun Moon Lake sheep ear garlic has oval pseudobulbs and linear or linear lanceolate leaves, 16-30 cm long and only 1-1.5 cm wide.Racemes terminal, upper sepals and petals linear, about [-] mm long, lips ovate-elliptic.

"What is Sun Moon Lake goat's ear garlic?" Zhou Xixian asked suspiciously.

"Hey, you don't know about this." Ye Bo smiled and explained, "This is a unique species in Taiwan. It is only distributed on Lalu Island in the Sun Moon Lake area of ​​Nantou, with an altitude of about 750m. After the construction of Mingtan Reservoir Its habitat has been severely damaged, and there has been no follow-up discovery record for more than 70 years, and it is likely to be completely extinct."

"That is to say, it's another extinct species. Thanks to the easy way you said it, it seems to be rare." Zhou Xixian said.

Ye Bo and the young man he just recognized were both stunned. Yes, this is an extinct species. Although it has only been extinct for 70 years, it is an extinct species anyway. It is so rare, but I am so calm, as if there is nothing good Surprised, it seems that I have seen too many extinct species today, and I have become a little numb. I can only blame Su Jing.

They didn't think too much, and carefully observed the other plants. After careful observation, they didn't recognize any of them at a glance.

Chapter 57 Going Crazy

Ye Bo, Zhou Xixian and the others stared at several plants for a long time. Ye Bo finally settled on a small tree. It had a thick stem with only two branches at the top. The rhizome was very special. First, four main branches are separated from the base of the stem, and each main branch is divided into multiple flat bifurcated branches.Leaves linear or lanceolate, spirally arranged.

Ye Bo looked at it, and suddenly took a breath: "I remembered, this should be a seal wood, a plant that lived in the Carboniferous and Permian periods."

"Are you sure?" Zhou Xixian and the others also gasped.

"The shape and characteristics are exactly the same. But if you ask me if I am sure, I can only say that I am not sure, which is amazing." Ye Bo said, the ancient Chinese fruit was only more than 1 million years ago, but this seal Wood, but at least [-] million years ago.

They checked the information and compared it, and asked someone to send a photo of the sealed wood fossil. No matter how they compared it, they all pointed to one result. The plant in front of them was the sealed wood that lived in the Carboniferous and Permian periods, 1 year earlier than the dinosaurs. billion years.

"Teacher, take a quick look, isn't this Bennei cycad?" A young man pointed to a plant, which was similar in shape to an arbor-shaped cycad plant: the stem was bulbous or columnar, the leaves were feathery, clustered on the top of the stem, and the seeds were exposed , born on the megasporophyll.But there are double-lipped stomata and special spore bulbs, which are different from ordinary cycads.

"Huh?" Ye Bo was taken aback, observed carefully for a moment, and said in surprise, "Xiaowu, you have good observation skills. This seems to be Bennei Cycad."

"I just thought about it on purpose, but I thought of it by accident." The young man scratched his head.

A young man dug up the information and read: "In August 2012, Duan Wei, a geologist in Shenzhen, discovered and collected a number of early Jurassic plant fossil specimens in the Dapeng Peninsula area of ​​Shenzhen. The fossil specimens are 8 million years old to Between 1.8 million years. The most striking thing in this group of fossils is the preservation of a specimen of Bennei cycad. The external structure of the flower, as determined by experts from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, is about 2 million years ago. That is to say, this Bennei cycad should be a plant 5 million years ago."

Everyone thought of the idea of ​​the young man named Xiao Wu, and deliberately went far away to recall and search for information.Soon, the names of one plant after another were found out by them.

"My God, this should be Tollez fruit. This plant was found in the late Triassic strata of Ukraine, and may also be produced in the Early Cretaceous strata of Northeast China."

"This is a seed fern, a gymnosperm, which began to appear in the Late Devonian, flourished in the Carboniferous Permian, gradually declined in the Mesozoic, and became extinct in the Cretaceous."

"This is Rainey's fern, a primitive fern with only stems and no roots or leaves, which lived about [-] million years ago."

Plants that have been extinct for hundreds of millions of years have been recognized one after another. They originally thought that looking at the extinct species would almost numb them, but now the more they look at them, the more excited they are. They are so excited that they are almost crazy. The illusion of time travel to ancient times.

"A Jing, where did these... these plants come from? Tell me the truth, who are you?" Ye Bo's lips trembled excitedly.

"Ah Jing, in fact, you are like the protagonist in "The Man From Earth", you are a monster who survived the ancient times, right? If you tell us, we won't be too surprised." Zhou Xixian said intentionally. .

"Aren't you thinking too much?" Su Jing couldn't laugh or cry, maybe he read too many novels and his imagination is too rich.However, even if they let their imaginations fly, it seems that they are not bold enough, and they are still far from the truth.

"Mr. Su, what's going on here? Why are there so many extinct animals and plants appearing one after another?" A young man couldn't help asking.

"This is a secret, I have no comment." Su Jing couldn't tell the truth, this kind of thing was too inconceivable, and he couldn't make up a lie anymore, so he didn't say any more.

Everyone was helpless, if Su Jing didn't say anything, they couldn't help it.Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian both proposed to take one of each plant back for research. Su Jing readily agreed. It is useless to keep these plants by yourself. If something can be researched, it will cause a sensation on the earth. and impact, that's enough.

Ye Bo and Zhou Xixian couldn't wait, and left with the plants.Because they had nothing to hide, the news spread quickly and caused a huge sensation again.

"My God, what's going on?"

"Forget the resurrection of animals that have been extinct for nearly a hundred years, but even plants that have been extinct for hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions of years have appeared on the scene."

"I heard that many of these plants were likely to have been the food of herbivorous dinosaurs. For example, the Bennei cycad was probably one of the foods of Stegosaurus back then."
