It has been confirmed that giant herbivorous dinosaurs once lived in the Antarctic continent.
Today, all of Antarctica is ruled by penguins, but before that, dinosaurs roamed the then lush land.
At that time, these dinosaurs migrated here from Australia and other continental plates connected to the Antarctic continent.
Previously, people have discovered some Antarctic dinosaur fossils, including an ankylosaur and a small number of bird-like dinosaurs.
But now, scientists have reported a latest discovery: On James Ross Island, located on the Antarctic Peninsula, they discovered the fossilized tail vertebrae of a sauropod dinosaur, which may be the largest dinosaur ever discovered on the Antarctic continent.
"Some people say that the current North Pole and South Pole are the original equator. It is just because the North Pole and South Pole continued to accumulate ice and snow until the weight exceeded the equatorial circle, so the earth flipped and formed the current pattern. Do you think it is true?"
At this time, Mu Ling spoke.
Han Peacock said: "Scientific conjecture like this has always existed. If that were true, the current North and South Poles would be the original equator. It would not be surprising if dinosaurs lived there."
"Is this a magnetic pole shift?" Mu Ling said.
"The equator changes to the North Pole and the South Pole, and the North Pole changes to the equator. Such scientific predictions were made in 2012. The earth's magnetic poles have been reversed. This has happened before. The previous times have led to events such as ice ages and major floods. Of course, this is also speculation by scientists.
, no one knows whether it is true or not." Han Kongque said.
Huangshan said at this time: "Is this about the Mayan prophecy? If the magnetic poles are reversed, it is likely that only people in Tibetan areas of our country and people in Africa will survive."
"It's impossible, so we should pay more attention to the mammoths here!" the golden demon said a little bored.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "Yes, this is the main purpose of our coming here."
"How about we buy some? These days, I see a lot of people buying mammoth ivory. Anyway, we have money, so why not buy some too." Huangshan suggested.
Han Peacock nodded and said: "Okay, anyway, we have searched all over this area. If we want to continue to gain something, let's go for acquisitions!"
"Others have fixed acquisition targets, how about we get involved now?" Mu Ling said a little worried.
Russia is not a peaceful age, especially in Siberia. It is a lawless world. Take the excavation of mammoth fossils as an example. This is illegal in Siberia, but a free trading market has actually been formed here. If there is no artificial
Control is the weird thing.
"Don't worry, we will do what others do," Han Kongque said.
Recently, Han Peacock and the others have circled around all the surrounding rivers. They have excavated all the mammoths that were able to avoid being excavated by humans. As for other places, the locals are very familiar with them. If Han Peacock went to dig, they would definitely cause trouble.
Therefore, the acquisition proposed by Huangshan is a good choice, so that they can save a lot of trouble as long as they pay a little money.
These days, they try to avoid crowds. If they want to find someone now, they can just follow the river to find them.
Sure enough, after just a while, they met a man, a lone ranger. It seemed that he had already gained something, because he was carrying two huge tusks.
At this time, Han Peacock also knew why their actions were considered illegal because they had done too much damage to the mammoth fossils.
Because other parts of the mammoth are not valuable and are huge and difficult to carry, these people only choose mammoth tusks and do not want other parts.
In this way, those excavated mammoth fossils can only be exposed to wind, sun, and river erosion. Perhaps after a summer, they will be completely destroyed.
"Hey, do you want to sell your mammoth tusks?" Mu Ling saw that the man was very wary and immediately made it clear what their group's purpose was.
Seeing the man shaking his head, Mu Ling spread his hands helplessly. When meeting a stranger in the wilderness, everyone will be wary.
"Is there a big camp nearby? We need to purchase a large amount of mammoth tusks." Han Peacock naturally knew what the man was worried about, so he went directly to find the camp.
As long as there are more people, these people will become less vigilant, because with more people, they will feel safer.
"Over there." The man pointed in a direction.
Han Peacock took a look and found that it was indeed following the direction of the river.
They didn't say anything more and just followed the man who wasn't that tall. After walking for a while, Han Kongque discovered that this guy looked unshaven, but he didn't seem to be very old.
"My name is Kiel, and that's our camp over there. We have a lot of people, and there are quite a few Chinese people there." Perhaps because he saw the camp, the young man started talking more.
"I wonder how you sell the ivory you dug?" Han Peacock asked.
"Depending on the quality, a good one will cost more than 10,000 US dollars, and a poor quality one will cost 3,000 US dollars." The young man glanced at Han Peacock and then said.
"Three thousand dollars?" Han Kongque was a little confused. Twenty thousand yuan for an ivory is indeed not expensive, but considering the risks of operating mammoth ivory, it is certainly not cheap either.
"Yes, it's three thousand dollars. The quality of these two pieces I have is not very good, but they should cost at least ten thousand dollars." The young man pointed to the two huge tusks he was carrying and said with a smile.
These two pieces of ivory only weighed 40 to 50 kilograms. Such a large piece of ivory is actually not expensive at all if sold for 10,000 US dollars. If you convert it, it only costs 6 or 7 yuan per gram. Such a price is simply a cabbage price.
Of course, if you want to make money, you have to find a way to transport these two big guys into the country. This is problematic, because it is illegal in Siberia, so transporting this thing is more dangerous. It is considered smuggling. I have been caught more than once.
The ivory will be confiscated and you will be jailed and fined.
"If I pay you $10,000, can you sell me these two tusks?" Han Kongque asked tentatively.
"No, someone has already made a reservation, unless you exchange supplies with me, food, wine, daily necessities, everything is fine." The young man said.
"You still lack daily necessities here?" Han Peacock was a little curious. In the 1970s, or even two thousand years later, Russia lacked daily necessities for light industry, but they still lack it now?
Han Peacock remembered that even now, there are still many businessmen in China selling daily necessities to Russia, and these import and export trade companies are very big now. How could there be a shortage of daily necessities here?
"We are close to the North Pole, and generally no one wants to come here," the young man said.
Han Kongque nodded, so he understood. Even if someone came, they would come with money. Who would come with a large amount of supplies?
Even if you have the intention, are you not afraid of being robbed?
As they talked, they had already walked into the camp. It was already evening, and the people in the camp were eating. Han Peacock noticed that those with obvious foreign characteristics had poor food.
Their main food is smoked sausage, black bread, and some soup. The red one seems to be called cabbage soup, and some green and dark soup. I don't know what it is stewed with.
Of course, some people with Chinese faces eat better, such as ham sausage, beef stew, and some packaged food, which mainly contains meat.
The biggest difference between the two is probably the wine. On the Chinese side, all kinds of mellow aromas of alcohol are wafting around, but on the Russian side, it is rare to see anyone drinking.
This is very strange, because Han Peacock knows that Russians need a lot of alcohol to keep warm due to their different living environment, so almost every Russian man is addicted to alcohol. Now that they don't drink, it's probably not because they are unwilling to drink.
, but not.
Han Peacock looked at these people eating dinner thoughtfully. They were indeed short of daily necessities.
Russians mainly eat bread, milk, potatoes, pork, vegetables, and like to eat rye, bread, caviar, butter, tomatoes, ham, etc.
It can be said that there are only a few things that are eaten over and over again, which are very different from the Chinese people’s eating habits.
Han Kongque and the others were well prepared. They were ready before entering the camp.
So in just a short while, they brought out a lot of things in Huangshan, including lighters, charcoal, grids, barbecue shovels, bamboo skewers, toothpicks, small brushes, fruit knives, tin foil, disposable chopsticks, disposable bowls, and disposable plates.
, disposable gloves, paper cups, napkins, tablecloths, garbage bags.
In addition to these, there are also prepared whole chickens and rabbits, which are intended to attract people, and Russians are very keen on eating meat, because it is relatively cold here and they need a lot of fat to keep out the cold, so eating meat and drinking wine are the best
Choice, and of course cheese too.
But cheese is not easy to preserve, and wine is too expensive, so eating meat becomes the best choice.
In movies and TV dramas, you can often see a scene where a chicken or rabbit is wrapped around a stick and roasted over a campfire. This is an open fire roasting.
For ordinary people, it is not advisable to control the heat when grilling over an open flame, and grilling over an open flame is more likely to produce substances harmful to the human body, so this kind of thing is rarely done.
However, the food grilled over an open fire is more fragrant and more attractive, so for Han Peacock and others, it is the best choice.
Of course, charcoal grilling is the main choice for Korean Peacocks, and open flame grilling can only be used to attract people.
Because, compared with other barbecue methods, only charcoal barbecue is easy to operate and control, has the least pollution to the environment, and can grill the most abundant types of food.
Common types of barbecue grills on the market include apple stoves, portable stoves, etc. Han Peacock uses a rectangular portable stove. The advantage of this stove is that the height of the grill is adjustable, making it easy to control the firepower. It is cheap, priced at 50 yuan
about.
So Han Kongque and the others prepared a lot, because under certain conditions, it is enough to use it once. It is only 50 yuan and can be thrown away after use. It does not hurt at all. (To be continued.)
