Professor Zhao smiled and said: "Isn't this right? Think about it, we have been going deep underground. Up to now, we are certain that we are in the Cretaceous. If nothing else happens, we will have to continue going down the road.
Going deeper, according to the distribution of faults, we are likely to reach the fault zone of the Jurassic and Triassic periods, which is where Professor Feng discovered the ore... Oh, we should definitely be able to reach it. In fact, Professor Feng used to
The ore you have been looking for was discovered in the Triassic. Oh, let me tell you this, if the fault zones in the Triassic were the same as here, you will definitely not return empty-handed from this trip to the sinkhole.
of
After hearing his explanation, Ning Xiaofan finally understood and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
"Old man Zhao, what if the Triassic you are talking about is different from this place?" The fat man came over at some point and asked in a loud voice.
Professor Zhao glanced at the fat man angrily, but he still explained: "That doesn't matter. Since the first piece of ore can be found, the second piece can be found. Also, if the paleontology expert's inference is good, in
It is very likely that a large number of extraterrestrial meteorites will be found in the Triassic fault zone..."
Meteorites, haha, aren’t they what I want to find?
Ning Xiaofan and Fatty heard Professor Zhao talk about meteorites again, which was so deep in their hearts that they couldn't help but look at each other.
The two of them have good psychological quality. On the surface, they appear to be very calm and quiet, but there is a hint of excitement in their eyes that is not easy to detect...
Through rock analysis, Professor Liu also concluded that this area belongs to the Cretaceous fault zone. He would be reluctant to leave for a while, so he used a small iron pick to knock east and west around this huge rock mass. Not to mention.
, less than half a circle, in addition to collecting a lot of rock samples, and found several ancient fossils.
Professor Zhao is naturally unwilling to lag behind. For biological experts, ancient fossils are too valuable for research, so they are naturally reluctant to leave.
This time, Ning Xiaofan was very patient and did not rush the two experts and professors.
After all, these two expert professors have rich knowledge and real abilities. Just such an inconspicuous rock can tell something. The two of them continued to tinker, maybe they would make some new discoveries. And they made new discoveries.
, it might be of great use to our team’s search for meteorites.
After discovering the benefits brought by the two experts, Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but wonder whether to trick these two experts into joining his team for the rest of the trip after arriving at the destination grotto...
The two experts were relatively restrained, and the delay was not very long. After about half an hour, the team packed up and continued to set off.
In the jungle, there are lush trees and tangled vines. There is almost no way to go. You can only use a machete to cut through the thorns. Not only that, this vast area also belongs to the Paleozoic Era, which is similar to the Cretaceous Period. Professor Zhao once said that the Cretaceous Period belonged to the dinosaurs.
During the period when reproduction was at its most prosperous, everyone could not help but feel anxious and a little more careful.
However, along the way, the legendary dinosaurs were not seen, but from time to time we could see familiar birds and small creatures on the ground. Even the plants were similar to those growing in the subtropics. The only difference was that
Even these plants and organisms can emit light.
As everyone continued to walk through the jungle and went deeper, the trees in the jungle seemed to become sparse. However, when they stepped into it, they found that it was just an illusion. It was not that the trees had become sparse, but that there was a certain distance between the trees.
These trees are tall and straight, some are like pines and cypresses, and some are like cypresses, and often only two or three people can embrace them. At the foot of the trees, there are also clusters of green ferns growing.
After arriving here, everyone finally felt a little bit like entering the Paleozoic Era.
Not long after setting foot in this tall forest, Ning Xiaofan and others discovered that some of the trees had signs of friction on the surface. Not far away, they also saw several piles of black earth.
The earth bag is about one meter high. At a glance, it looks a bit like a grave bag. When you get closer, a strange smell hits your nose. It's not bad, but it's not pleasant either.
This earth bag looked a little strange, so Professor Zhao and Professor Liu walked up to the earth bag with great interest.
The two professors Zhao reached out and took out a handful of black soil from the soil bag. First, they took it closer and took a closer look, then brought it up to their noses and sniffed it. Finally, the two of them looked at each other, and their expressions became solemn.
"Professor Zhao, is this feces?" Professor Liu seemed unsure and asked cautiously.
Professor Zhao nodded: "It's feces."
After receiving Professor Zhao's answer, Professor Liu's expression changed, as if there was something nearby that frightened him, and he looked around nervously.
Ning Xiaofan, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two and asked hurriedly: "Professor Zhao, Professor Liu, you said this thing is feces? You can't be mistaken, right?"
Professor Zhao looked solemn and said: "You're right, it's feces, or the feces of a large creature. If you don't know, it's left by dinosaurs."
Dinosaur excrement? With such a big pile, how big must the dinosaur that left this excrement be? Ning Xiaofan felt a little numb when he thought about it: "Professor Zhao, can you tell what kind of dinosaur left this excrement? No.
Is it a tyrannosaurus or something?”
Professor Zhao shook his head and said: "I don't know, but this pile of feces is not left by Tyrannosaurus. It should be from a herbivorous dinosaur like Wanlong or Stegosaurus."
"How do you know?"
Professor Zhao smiled slightly: "It's very simple. This feces does not stink. If you look carefully, there are no animal bones in the feces, only some plant residues that have not had time to be digested. If it is a tyrannosaurus, the smell alone is probably enough.
What we suffered... Well, depending on the dryness of the feces and counting the time, this pile of feces should be from the past two days."
After hearing this, Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as it's not a tyrannosaurus...
Professor Zhao shook his head and said: "Since the feces of herbivorous dinosaurs can be found here, there must be many carnivorous dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus and Velociraptor. Besides, even the herbivorous dinosaurs are not our fault.
Come on, this pile of excrement is big enough. Can you imagine how big the dinosaur that left the excrement would be? If you rub it casually, it is estimated that we will lose half of our lives, so don’t be too optimistic...
"
As soon as Professor Zhao said these words, Ning Xiaofan's heart sank.
At this time, when everyone learned that the pile of black soil in front of them was the excrement left by dinosaurs, everyone became a little nervous, and the atmosphere became solemn.
However, there is no turning back now. Even if they know that there are large dinosaurs in this forest, no matter how nervous and scared everyone is, they still have to bravely move forward.
The next formation was extremely dangerous. Before setting off, Ning Xiaofan reorganized the team. According to the previous formation, the team did not lack protection at the front and rear, but it was slightly loose. Two full-time armed forces were lost not long ago.
The personnel and protective power are even weaker.
Given this premise, the previous formation of the team is obviously not very applicable.
Defense was impossible, so Ning Xiaofan Yu Jian divided the team into two teams. Professor Zhao, Professor Liu, Wang Zhipeng, Lao Wang, Xiao Shanzi, and an armed man named Wu served as the rear team, and the security was provided by an armed man named Wu.
One person is responsible.
The front team consisted of Ning Xiaofan, Li Wanting, Fatty, Hou San, Zhang Chun, Chen Biao, and Yang Hai. The Type 95 automatic rifles equipped by Lao Wang and Xiao Shanzi were transferred to the front team, plus the Type 95 automatic rifle held by Yang Hai.
Type, three Type 95s are used together to ensure a certain amount of firepower.
Ning Xiaofan incorporated Li Wanting into the front team, naturally with some selfish motives, keeping her close by to protect her. Of course, he also found that Li Wanting seemed fragile, but her marksmanship was good, and maybe she could also play a role.
Little by little works.
In this formation, the front team is obviously much stronger, while the back team is much weaker.
According to Ning Xiaofan's idea, when traveling in such a dangerous environment, it is better to strengthen the front team's attack power than to disperse firepower to protect the rear team. Once in danger, the front team withstands it, and the rear team will naturally be safe and sound. If the front team is finished,
I believe that the old, weak, sick and disabled in the back team can't survive, so we can just finish playing together.
The team was organized and everyone set off.
However, although Ning Xiaofan was organized into two teams, the two teams were not out of touch. They just asked Professor Zhao and others who had little force value to delay a little and not to join the front team, so as not to affect the firepower of the front team.
play.
The trees in this forest are straight and tall, and there is a certain distance between the trees. The line of sight is wide, and there is no need to use a machete to cut through the thorns to clear the way. Relatively speaking, the road ahead is not difficult to walk.
However, everyone knew that the road ahead was full of dangers, and there might be large dinosaurs coming out, so they did not dare to relax at all. They were all highly concentrated. It could be said that they could see six directions and listen to all directions. At the slightest movement, everyone raised their guns.
When it rises up, it gives people the feeling of being surrounded by soldiers.
As a result, everyone stopped and walked along the way, and the speed of travel was naturally much slower.
Soon, a huge rock mass appeared ahead again. This rock mass was much larger than the ones encountered on the way. It was about twenty meters high and covered an area of about a hundred acres. Its shape was also very weird. The rock mass was
The two ends are raised high, and the middle is sunken, forming a ravine about three meters wide. At a glance, it looks like a lying camel.
Since there is a passable ravine in the middle of the rock mass, there is no need to take a long detour. Ning Xiaofan and his party went directly into the ravine in the middle of the rock mass without any delay.
After everyone entered the ravine one by one, they could still walk three or two abreast at first. However, as the people went deeper, the ravine became narrower and narrower, and the terrain also became higher and lower. And the narrowest place was only one.
With the ruler out of his head, he had to turn sideways to squeeze through. There was no other way, so everyone could only follow one another in a meandering way.
However, this ravine is extremely narrow, so it is still passable. Otherwise, everyone's journey would be in vain. They would have to exit this ravine and walk around the outside of the rock...
