Chapter 235: Abducting the Master and Disciple
"Quanzi, those two cars didn't go far. They are less than five kilometers away from us. They should be hiding." He Tianlei said at the fossil excavation site camp, staring at the light spots that suddenly disappeared on the screen.
"Leizi, you keep an eye on the radar yourself. The others continue digging for our fossils." After saying that, Shi Quan opened the door and jumped out of the cab.
"Do you suspect those people are the poachers Si Qin mentioned?" Elena came up and asked curiously.
"Whether they are or not, it's never wrong to be careful."
Shi Quan opened the canvas and said, "Xiaoye, don't be lazy, come here and dig rocks. Asak, take that little guy out and give him a bath. Siqin, go help the big guy."
Asking Asak to do the meticulous work of archaeological excavation is asking for trouble, but he is definitely a good hand at taking care of animals. In addition, Siqin, who already has a camel at home, has a big mouth and a small one.
The little camel covered with gauze is clearly arranged.
Following Shiquan's instructions one after another, the fossil excavation site became busy again. However, less than an hour later, Professor Galkin suddenly exclaimed, "No! Yuri, there is more than one dinosaur buried here!"
Maybe a dinosaur graveyard!"
"Dinosaur cemetery? What do you mean? Do you still understand this?" Shi Quan and others gathered around him.
Faced with three consecutive questions from everyone, Professor Galkin tugged at his beard and said, "When you live long enough and the research project is complex enough, you will always choose something else to change your brain."
"What do you mean when you say there are more than one?" Eileen was not interested in listening to his ramble and directly brought the topic back to the main point.
Galkin did not have Ivan the Great's bad habit of showing off. The old man bent down and picked up a fossil fragment to show to everyone, "Although we have only dug out a long and scary cervical vertebra and a few ribs, we can judge that this should be
A herbivorous dinosaur. But the teeth I have in my hand are obviously the fangs of a carnivorous dinosaur."
A group of people couldn't help but look at Liu Xiaoye. When it came to her knowledge of bones and the like, she was definitely the most professional in the club.
"I don't understand dinosaurs"
Liu Xiaoye quickly waved his hand, "But from a biological perspective, the big ones among terrestrial animals are indeed herbivores. After all, the body is too big, and the oxygen consumption will increase, so the speed will not be too fast, and the huge ones
The body requires more energy, and predatory behavior is full of uncertainty, which is not cost-effective for big men."
Before she finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but look at Asak who was bathing the camel in the distance. This guy was two meters tall, but he didn't miss any meal.
"Humans can use tools and are omnivorous, so they have more channels to obtain food." Liu Xiaoye added, "I have already said that I don't know much about dinosaurs."
"I don't know much about it either."
Galkin handed the fossil fragment in his hand to Liu Xiaoye, "But if you think about it, it is impossible for a giraffe to swing its long neck to hunt antelopes, as that would easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain."
"So it's possible for us to create two or more dinosaurs?" Elena asked with shining eyes.
"You are more dreamy than Khrushchev!"
Galkin pointed to the messy excavation site, "Even if there are 100 dinosaurs buried here, you would be lucky to be able to piece together one complete one. What you will carry back in the end is probably just a pile of bones of different shapes."
"Then why didn't you just now?" Elena, whose dream was shattered, complained.
"What I just said, I'm afraid you gave up halfway through digging." Galkin looked at Shiquan, "Yuri, keep digging. If you can discover a brand new dinosaur, you are qualified to name it."
"Name the dinosaur Jackie Chan and the Bear?"
Shi Quan smiled and joked, "That's it now. Let's keep digging. We will leave when everyone is no longer interested in digging, or when they finish digging. After all, we are diggers, not paleontologists."
Galkin tugged at his beard helplessly, "Vera didn't tell me that you were a digger."
No one paid attention to the distracted Galkin, and everyone re-dispersed at the ten-meter-square excavation site and continued busy with the excavation work at hand.
Using a small hammer to knock away the scattered rocks almost violently, Shi Quan took out a heavy fossil from a large pit nearly one meter deep and handed it to the humanoid porter Asak.
Not far behind him, the white and clean little camel was trying its best to avoid the hair dryer in Siqin's hand.
A little further away, in the RV of Shi Quan, Bingtang, wearing half-length long-length trousers, was lying on the dashboard, licking his nose through the glass at the camel that was many times bigger than him.
I kept busy until the sun went down, and there was already a mountain of fossils piled on the canvas. The fact is, as Professor Galkin said, this place is really a dinosaur cemetery. Not to mention anything else, there are only shoulder blades of the same shape but different sizes.
They all dug up several.
Such a dense accumulation of fossils also worried Galkin. Taking advantage of the break before dinner, the old man went to Shiquan.
"Yuri, the findings here are too scary. Once discovered by the authorities, we may be in big trouble."
"You mean the Mongolian official?" Shi Quanhun asked nonchalantly.
"Mongolia, Russia and even you Chinese or the people in the two cars that were just released."
Galkin carried a plate of braised lamb chops, dug out a large piece of rice for himself, and continued in a low voice, "Either we dig out everything here as soon as possible and transport it away, or we don't let anyone know about the discovery here."
"Don't worry"
Shi Quan took his dinner and sat down next to the operating table of the medical vehicle. "The herdsmen will come to help tomorrow morning. Let's eat first, Professor Galkin."
"But..."
"Compared to these big bones, I think you might be more interested in another thing." Shi Quan directly changed the subject.
"whats the matter?"
"That little guy you are interested in, Si Qin, can go to school in Irkutsk."
"Did you agree?" Galkin asked in surprise, raising his eyebrows. He originally had no hope for this matter.
"In fact, the decision-making power has never been mine. It was his father who agreed."
Shi Quan picked up a large piece of mutton chop, "But for the safety of this little guy, before he goes to college, no matter what you want to teach him in your spare time, you can only do it in my radar station, on Saturdays and weekends.
He will also live there.
If you need it, I will also prepare a room for you. In addition, without my consent or my people following you, you can't even think of taking him to find meteorites. Even if you find meteorites, they still belong to that child."
"No problem at all!"
Professor Galkin was overjoyed and agreed to Shi Quan's conditions without thinking. Then he picked up his own plate and pushed Asak away. He sat down next to Siqin and his son with a shameless face and went to deepen the relationship between teachers and students.
.
There was a hint of a sinister smile on Shi Quan's face. This kid Siqin might really be a genius, but Professor Galkin has forgotten his own value. This old man is also a professor after all, and he has been working in IL since the Soviet era.
A leader in astronomical research at Kutsk State University.
Even though he has been expelled from the National University for causing some trouble, his connections will not disappear just because of this trivial matter. Even if he has managed to win over such an old guy to live in his own radar station, even if he does not need his professional knowledge
, it is also a good thing with no harm to Shi Quan and the club.
What Shi Quan has to pay is just a few houses and three meals a day. As long as Asak's family takes a good look at Professor Galkin and doesn't let him target the radar station again, he will definitely make a profit without losing anything.
.
As for the little kid Siqin, Shi Quan has no intention of interfering with his life and life trajectory. Even if this kid really becomes a self-reliant meteorite hunter in the future or even returns to Mongolia to graze, Shi Quan will be happy to help him when necessary.
Bundle.
After a meal, two "geniuses", an old man and a young man, were abducted. Shi Quan was in a good mood. He pulled Asak and He Tianlei over to sit down, and the three brothers drank up a bottle of cold vodka with the mutton.
After drinking and eating, everyone found a place to rest. Siqin and his son declined Shi Quan's invitation, took out a brand-name canvas tent from the van, set it up, and lit a small bonfire.
The melodious Morrin fiddle echoed in the camp along with the humai, and the crisp reeds placed on the campfire emitted puffs of white smoke to disperse the few mosquitoes. Elena moved out a rocking chair and placed it next to the stone spring.
Then he lay down on it covered with a thick bearskin.
It was rare to have such a leisurely and quiet time. Everyone stood or walked around, each finding a seat to quietly listen to Siqin's father's prairie music performance.
When the sun was completely submerged under the horizon, Galkin once again set up his precious astronomical telescope and began his first teaching session to Siqin in the center of the camp.
Occasionally, a shooting star glides across the night sky, and the starry Milky Way has never been so clear. Prairie shepherd boy Siqin followed Galkin's ideas and, with the help of a star pointing pen, started from the Summer Triangle, which is the easiest to find.
Diandian is building his own knowledge of the starry sky.
I have to admit that although the old man Galkin is an old troublemaker, his lecture ability is really great. Not only Siqin, but also the surrounding diggers who are watching the excitement listen with interest.
Not only did this trial class successfully arouse Si Qin's interest, but his father also gave Shi Quan a thumbs up, no longer having any doubts about his son studying abroad.
Except for Siqin's father and the little camel lying next to the telescope who were still listening with interest, Shi Quan and others got into their RVs one after another.
The slightly cool night wind carrying moisture blew away the last trace of warmth on the Gobi desert. Siqin's father took out two blankets from the car and put them on the teacher and student himself. When he saw the one waiting for him,
