The fossil excavation work on Chenbao Lake has been underway, but has not been carried out. It was all preparatory work before, and it was mined in the beginning of spring.

Billy's job is to dive to explore the fossil situation at the bottom of the lake. Originally, this job was left to the underwater camera, but the underwater robot could not land at the bottom of the Shenbao Lake because there was too much silt at the bottom of the lake and could only be explored by manpower.

The divers searched for the fossils at the bottom of the lake and marked them one by one. According to the information they provided, the people from the National Fossil Museum used small submarine modified salvage boats to salvage the fossils.

The small submarine has very flexible robotic arms, as if it is a multi-armed water monster, which can perform underwater cutting, collecting, ramming, grabbing and other tasks.

Relying on this small submarine, some fossil fragments were caught in March. Due to the pressure and location of the lake bottom, this batch of fossils could not be extracted in one go. They could only be dismembered and cleaned up after they were put together.

In order to protect salvage machinery and equipment, the work site of the Fossil Museum is managed in a closed manner, and it is not impossible for staff to enter. Qin Shiou was the first to take a look at the fossil this time, and he also has to thank Billy for his leadership.

Large tents have been erected on the north bank of Chenbao Lake. Anyway, there are many wastelands on farewell to the island, so you can hold up the tent at will.

After Billy showed his work permit, someone took him into the tent in the front, and Tangji Patton, who was more familiar to Qin Shiou, came towards him.

Seeing Patton, Qin Shiou took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, man, I haven't seen you fishing for a long time. Spring is a good time for night fishing, but it will be a little cold at night, but this is fun, right?"

Patton smiled and said, "Yes. Qin, yes, fishing in spring night is a very interesting activity. But you see, damn it, I have too much work to be busy with. I don't have time to enjoy it. Oh, God, if, I mean, if, when my work is over, I must go out to sea for a week. I won't come back if I don't catch a great white shark."

Several people were chatting, and a familiar voice rang out from behind: "Qin, long time no see."

Qin Shiou turned around and saw Hamre walking towards him with great strides and waved to him.

"Why are you here?" Qin Shiou asked in surprise. "You are the busy mayor, aren't you?"

Hamley laughed and said, "Man, aren't you talking slander, are you? Absolutely not, because I remember Qin is a honest and honest young man. Well, I admit that I haven't invited you to visit for a long time, but I'm really busy."

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

"If this is the case, then the museum I manage must be the Natural History Museum in New York." Hamre smiled.

This surprised the mayor's assistant who followed him. In the mind of the young assistant, the mayor seemed to be a rigorous and slightly old-fashioned ancient British gentleman, but he unexpectedly turned into a funny man today.

It turns out that people have two sides, the young assistant sighed. He knew Qin Shiou, and St. Johns' political circle knew this invisible rich man. The fact that he provided Hamre with 50 million campaign funds could not be concealed by those who were interested.

The New York Museum of Natural History is more famous from a Hollywood blockbuster, "Museum Night". This movie is very famous in Canada, especially in Eastern Canada, because it was filmed in Montreal, not the United States.

Hamley told Qin Shiou the truth after jokingly. This fossil project was the last political project left over when he was the mayor. Now it is finally going to achieve results. How could he not show his face?

Canada is different from China. Because it is composed of immigrants, this country has no history, so 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 fossil museum salvage equipment and the intensity of funds used. Qin Shiou read the report and it is said that the Canadian central government, Newfoundland provincial government, St. Johns City Government and Farewell Town Government made funding.

If you have the strength to contribute, you must mine the fossils intact.

Qin Shiou sighed and said that the Canadian government is really working hard to explore history. Billy disagreed with it and said: "What really interested Ottawa politicians is that there is a fish fossil that has not been discovered much before. This fossil is the most valuable and can make Canada show its face internationally."

After Billy said this, Qin Shiou suddenly recalled the conversation he had when he checked the fossils with Balzac. At that time, he said that he had discovered a fish fossil that he had never seen before. It seemed that he had developed it now.

In this way, Qin Shiou asked excitedly: "Does this newly discovered fish fossil have any results?"

The reason he was interested was the black-covered giant insect. The underwater beetle has not yet been officially recognized. I don’t know if this unknown fish has anything to do with the giant insect.

Patton poured a basin of cold water: "Sorry, our observations have errors before. In fact, this fish fossil was unearthed before and was named 'gill gland fish', which belongs to the prehistoric organism of the Cretaceous era."

As he said that, he took everyone to a wide long table, and a complete fish fossil was assembled.

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

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

Hamre worked at the Fossil Museum and asked: "Is there any new progress in the research on this fossil now?"

Patton nodded and said, "Yes, there are some new insights. We used to think that gillfish live on preying on molluscs because they have small and sharp teeth. That's 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 underway, and I believe more information will be obtained soon."

The most fossils come from the Golden Kitchen Shark and Mosasaurus, which are mortal enemies in the ocean. In a certain era, they were predators to each other. Later, for some reason, Mosasaurus became larger and became more advanced predators, and they liked to hunt Golden Kitchen Sharks.

Everyone who has watched the latest "Jurassic World" is impressed by the Mosasaurs. The *oss Tyrannosaurus in the movie was finally swallowed by a Neptune Dragon, which is a type of Mosasaur family.

When introducing Mosasaurs, Patton laughed and said, "The value of our batch of fossils is not only the gillfish, but also these big guys. They have brought us a little surprise, that is, the sword-shooting fish." (To be continued)
