If you enter the summer, you can often see a scene like this on the Siberian seashore. A man is digging on the sand and rocks on the shore. Although some of the sand and rocks are very hard and difficult to cut, he
It was chiseled again and again, which made it difficult for onlookers to understand.
Almost a few hours later, the man, covered in mud, slowly walked out of the shallow water carrying a big guy on his shoulders. This was the treasure he had unearthed.
They were at a shallow beach on the seaside, tying up a curved branch-like thing with a rope. He was seen carefully guarding the thing, as if he was guarding some kind of treasure.
And these "treasures" hidden in some frozen soil on the seaside are mammoth tusks.
Ever since a villager accidentally unearthed a mammoth ivory in the frozen soil at the seaside and sold it for a high price, the young and middle-aged people in nearby villages abandoned their original jobs and went to the seaside to dig out mammoth tusks. Some even directly
He built a small mud hut on the beach to live in, just to dig more ivory to support his family.
12,000 years ago, the Siberian mammoths had already gone extinct due to climate and other factors. However, a large number of tusks and fossils were left behind because their skeletons were frozen in some permafrost layers.
The ivory in this permafrost layer is much more intact than in the ordinary soil layer, so the value of the ivory is very high.
And this kind of ivory is like the "dragon bone" in traditional Chinese medicine and has great medicinal value.
There must be brave men under heavy rewards. Even though this is an illegal act, many people are willing to risk their lives and blindly pursue high profits. Therefore, after the permafrost on the Siberian seashore was exposed, nearby villagers came to hunt for treasures.
Han Peacock also wanted to go there, but it was too cold at this time and the Bering Strait was completely frozen. It was not a good idea to go there at this time.
However, just because you can't go there doesn't mean there's nothing you can do.
After it became increasingly difficult to dig out mammoth ivory fossils in Alaska, the Korean peacocks had to retreat.
Of course, the main reason is that he has stayed here for too long and has attracted the attention of others. If he continues to stay here, someone is likely to come and cause trouble.
Therefore, Han Peacock flew directly back to Jinniu Ranch and began to make arrangements. In fact, he mainly purchased large fishing boats in the United States. As long as he had fishing boats, he could enter Siberia from the Arctic Ocean through the Bering Strait.
In fact, Han Peacock's Peacock Kingdom also has fishing boats. However, after entering the Arctic Circle, his fishing boats cannot dock casually. Instead, they are fishing boats with American brands, which are relatively tough, so the world's largest superpower still has some effect.
.
Of course, when entering the territory of the Russians, the Americans were cautious, but they were still better than the Peacock Kingdom of the Korean peacocks.
Besides, Han Peacock didn't want to attract hatred for himself, so he had no choice but to let Sam take the blame.
After arranging the sailing time of the fishing boat, Han Peacock did not continue to wait in the United States, but returned to China to celebrate the New Year. After the New Year, it was almost spring. This time, Han Peacock did not enter Siberia directly, but went to
Belgrade.
Belgrade is the capital of the Republic of Serbia. The reason why I came here is because a cluster of mammoth cemeteries was discovered here. Of course, the discovery of the mammoth cemeteries has little to do with the Korean peacock. However, someone here has released news that they are going to be buried there.
A complete mammoth was sold on the black market.
It was a mammoth, not a fossil, which was more interesting, so the Korean peacock flew directly to Belgrade without any hesitation.
Belgrade is still very famous for its mammoth fossils, but a well-preserved mammoth carcass is definitely different from a mammoth fossil.
Moreover, Belgrade did not have sufficient conditions to preserve the mammoth carcass. However, after Han Kongque's scientific research team analyzed the photos, it was found that the mammoth, which was only one month old, was really the body of a baby mammoth, not a mammoth.
Fossils, so the Korean peacock would have to fly to Belgrade.
Because this news has been known to many people, and the seller has been blocked in Belgrade, now he wants to move the mammoth carcass, but he cannot do it, so the buyers who want to buy it have to come in person.
.
As for how to take it away after buying it, the seller doesn't care.
Of course, with such difficulties, the price of this mammoth carcass is not expensive, only five million US dollars.
Five million US dollars may be a lot of money to others, but to Han Peacock, it is nothing.
With such a small amount of money, Han Peacock naturally didn't care as long as the goods were good, so after he confirmed the news, he immediately flew to Belgrade.
In an open-pit coal mine 70 kilometers east of Belgrade, Siberian paleontologists have discovered at least seven sets of mammoth skeleton fossils, so there may be a mammoth "cluster cemetery" there.
In the initial stage of excavation, the remains of a mammoth were discovered. As the excavation progressed, the remains of six other mammoths were discovered at the same depth every 30 meters.
Among the skeletal remains is a 2-meter-long tusk, and three years ago, a 1 million-year-old female mammoth skeleton named Vika was discovered here.
However, the seven skeletons discovered this time are much younger, about 100,000 years ago, and belong to a different type of mammoth, which means that these creatures have lived here for a long time.
If it can be confirmed that this is indeed a "cluster cemetery" for mammoths, it will be the first time it has been discovered.
Mammoth cluster cemeteries are similar to the famous elephant cemeteries. The main reason for the formation of some elephant cemeteries is malnutrition and disease.
This time Han Kongque came here mainly to see if there was any difference between the "cluster cemetery" here and the elephant tomb. If they are the same, then there is absolutely no way that there are only seven mammoth remains here.
If this were the case, then it would be normal to find a one-month-old baby mammoth.
On the day he arrived in Belgrade, Han Peacock received a message informing him to go to a hotel in the city for business.
This is a five-star hotel, and the mammoth carcass is placed in the hotel's storage center.
When a container was directly traded to Han Peacock, Han Peacock's mood suddenly became bad. However, after glancing at the so-called mammoth carcass, Han Peacock still paid the money happily.
The container was converted into a cold storage to preserve the animal, and it was worth spending half a million to buy the animal carcass.
After getting the money, the seller left directly, but Han Kongque did not leave the warehouse. He waved his hand directly, and the modified container locked by spiritual consciousness was taken into the chaotic space by Han Kongque. He waved his hand again, and another container appeared in the original place.
land.
Han Kongque walked out of the warehouse empty-handed and happened to see a group of people rushing towards him. Of course, these people were the police.
Naturally, Han Kongque was very aware of such a scam and had taken precautions against it. If it wasn't for the fact that the thing was really good, how could he pay for it?
Han Kongque was empty, and there was nothing in the container in the warehouse, so even if he was blocked by the police, Han Kongque could easily escape.
After being delayed for half a day, Han Peacock checked into a hotel.
"Boss, have you been cheated?" Huang Shan looked at Han Peacock who was in a bad mood and asked in a low voice.
The golden demon also said: "Actually, it's nothing. Baby mammoths are rare."
"Yes, we just want to be safe. What if it turns out to be a baby mammoth? If we don't come, wouldn't we be in a loss? People here can't deceive us anyway." Mu Ling comforted Han Kongque.
Han Peacock sighed and said, "Baby mammoths are really rare."
"How about we get one of them when we go to Russia?" Huang Shan came up with a bad idea.
When he first got the news, Han Peacock sent someone to investigate and found that Russia had acquired a mammoth that was 42,000 years old and was only 1 month old when it died.
The baby elephant was discovered in 2007 by reindeer man Yuri Hudy and his 11-year-old son in Siberia, Russia, while they were collecting firewood near the Yuribe River in Siberia.
The baby elephant was named Lyuba, the same name as Woody's wife. In Russian, "Lyuba" means "love".
She was a female elephant, 130 centimeters long and 80 centimeters wide, slightly larger than a dog. She was only about one month old when she died.
Liuba's death was an accident. At that time, she was drinking water by the river. Unfortunately, she slipped and fell into the mud. Later, the mud froze and her body was buried underground.
After the discovery, Lyuba was sent to the Semanovsky Museum in Russia. Lyuba is the most complete preserved mammoth fossil discovered in the world.
Previously, people had discovered the remains of several mammoths in the Uribe River.
Han Peacock was very disappointed not to get a mammoth of the same size as Liuba, but he was definitely not disappointed to be able to buy this animal carcass.
"Do you know the plan to escape from extinction?" Han Kongque said suddenly when they saw Huangshan and wanted to comfort themselves.
"What?" Huangshan was stunned, not knowing what kind of amazing turn Han Kongque had.
"I know that in 2013, a group of scientists discussed the possibility of resurrecting 24 species of extinct animals, which was called the escape from extinction plan." Mu Ling said immediately.
"Is there such a plan?" Huangshan muttered, this is definitely a pain in the ass.
Han Peacock said: "Of course there is, for example: they plan to resurrect the Dodo. The Dodo has no natural enemies, but human activities arbitrarily hunted them for food, eventually forcing the Dodo to become extinct.
Also, at an academic symposium in Siberia, experts also considered another animal from the extinction plan. It is the quagga, a plains zebra species that once lived in South Africa. The last wild quagga was in 1870.
The quagga was shot dead in 1883, and the last quagga raised in captivity died in 1883." (To be continued.)
