The camel took Bifang far away, moving slowly in the desert, swaying, swaying, until it disappeared into the yellow sand.
He only told everyone the direction and distance of the well. Other than that, he didn't ask anything or ask for anything. It was as if Gu Qingyuan and others had never been there.
"I am lying on my back in the world. I don't need a house or a tent. I am so free and have no worries. My life is worth such a moment." Song Yanning looked at the disappearing figure with a faint look in his eyes.
"What?" Gu Qingyuan was stunned.
"I was inspired by Thomas Bernhard's "Summer"."
Gu Qingyuan tasted what Pin said just now and agreed very much: "I didn't expect that he refused so simply. I still want to persuade him."
But Bi Fang convinced him with just one sentence.
"If I get in the car, what's the difference between calling for rescue? I'm lucky enough to survive. Please let me wrap up the ending beautifully!"
Gu Qingyuan retracted his memory and waved his hand: "No more, no more, business is important. Send Tiktalik to the laboratory first, and then we will go on an on-site inspection."
"Is this fish that important? There are many new species discovered every year, right?" Song Yanning followed behind.
"Of course it is important. Its existence is already an evolutionary treasure, and it will open up a new world of research for the theory and practice of paleontology and evolutionary biology!"
Gu Qingyuan quickly called on the team members to carry the strange fish into the car: "Be careful, it is very big, please bear with it."
In fact, there was one thing he didn't tell Song Yanning. Compared to its evolutionary significance, this discovery may have greater significance in molecular biology.
This is also the real reason why they want to obtain entities regardless of animal protection.
The genome of the lungfish contains about 43 billion DNA base pairs, which is the largest of all animals that has been sequenced so far, and the genome is fourteen times that of humans!
What will happen to a similar Tiktalik?
Will there be more?
Such a huge genome may hide the secret of the evolution of life...
On the back of the camel, Bifang wrapped himself tightly, and the strange fish was taken away. He could also ride on the camel and go on the road, which was much easier.
The weight of a single-humped camel is generally between 160 and 200 kilograms. It is not difficult to carry a strange fish, but it cannot accommodate any more people.
Now the burden is lightened for both parties.
Moreover, the arrival of Professor Gu also revealed a lot of information.
"Since Professor Gu and the others came in a jeep, judging from the time, the town they started from will not be too far away. This means that our survival is almost successful and we will soon reach the human settlement. If it is fast, tonight, if it is slow,
Just tomorrow."
[To be honest, when Lao Fang just said that I refused, he was a hundred million points handsome]
[Fang Shen looks so handsome when he rejects people! 】
【No! I refuse!】
【Is this the world of the strong? 】
【I am very strong, please bear with me.】
[tyrand presented a spaceship to the anchor*1--this is the best live stream i have ever seen, bollywood movies are so ared to him! 】
【???Where did this guy upstairs come from?】
[Wai Guoren came to watch Fang Shen’s live broadcast? Can anyone help translate it? 】
[This guy said this is the most exciting live broadcast he has ever seen. Bad Hollywood movies are inferior to Fang Shen! 】
【Awesome!】
Bi Fang traveled extensively in his previous life and often read some academic research reports. Naturally, his English was not bad and he could understand it. He immediately expressed his gratitude in English, which made other water friends look good.
Even Bi Fang himself did not expect that foreigners would climb over the wall to watch his live broadcast. He thought that at most they would just watch the videos he edited. Are there really fans abroad?
Development is getting faster and faster.
But it’s normal. He is still wandering around the country. Maybe he will go abroad for adventure soon. By then, foreign channels will also need to be opened up. Only then will his number of foreign fans explode. Compared with now, his income will be a lot higher.
More than twice as much!
Time gradually passed and the sun began to set again.
It's already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
Bi Fang was dizzy and now had a headache. His condition had deteriorated visibly. In addition, he had lost a lot of blood and his face was as pale as paper.
What camels are best at is traveling at a speed of 15 to 25 kilometers per hour, even if they don't rest for 4 days and 4 nights. This speed is three to five times that of humans.
Today, Bi Fang walked about more than 80 kilometers, and there were many sand dunes that needed to be avoided. But from a straight line, it should be more than 30 kilometers, which is already quite a long distance.
The entire Qaidam Basin is only about 800 kilometers long from east to west and 300 kilometers wide from north to south, and the desert area is only one-third.
The hope of survival is close at hand.
Bi Fang straightened his body and looked far into the distance.
In the distance, the desert that was originally filled with yellow sand suddenly appeared in a different color. It was brown and a bunch of orderly shrubs!
Among these desert shrubs in a network shape, a black railway track lies like a dragon in the sand.
"It's the railroad!"
Bi Fang was overjoyed and asked the camel to speed up. When he came to the railway track, he was completely relieved when he looked at the intact sleepers and the new tracks.
It's not an abandoned railway.
Water friends are completely convinced.
[Awesome, this is really a hope of survival, not relying on luck!]
[The railroad tracks have appeared, so as long as you keep walking along them, you will meet people sooner or later]
【Too strong, yyds!】
【The King of Survival! The World’s No. 1 Explorer! The King of Kings!】
Along the railway track, Bi Fang slowed down and began to summarize his adventure experience.
"When we get here, our survival mission can basically be said to be completed. I have to say that this experience is really magical. What makes me most happy is not the successful survival, but the discovery of prehistoric creatures."
"The moment I discovered Tiktalik, I was really excited and felt an unparalleled sense of pride."
As he spoke, Bifang had a smile on his face.
You have been here and I bear witness.
Even if there is no trace of you in the sky, you have flown by and I have recorded it.
What a blessing.
"There are more than 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is only one of about 140 billion galaxies. But even though the universe is so huge, the only place known to have living things is the Earth."
"On the Earth, from the deepest trench to the highest mountaintop, the entire range of known life is only 28 kilometers thick. Compared with the vastness of the universe, what is this?"
The sky gradually darkened, and the bright moon rose, spreading silver light.
The starry sky shines.
Bi Fang walked slower and slower, as if reluctant to give up.
"The history of life is a story of large-scale elimination, followed by the differentiation of a few survivors, rather than the story of continuous optimization, complexity, and diversification as is commonly thought.
"Earth has witnessed five major extinction events, in the Ordovician, Devonian, Permian, Triassic and Cretaceous periods, as well as many smaller extinction events."
"In every mass extinction event, 70%-85% of species will become extinct. In the Permian, more than 95% of animals retired and never came back."
"We need to know that the probability that a species will form fossils and be preserved, and eventually be discovered and recorded by humans, is very small."
"Human beings have only one thing in common with other creatures, and that is that for nearly 3.5 billion years, at every necessary moment, our ancestors got in through every door that was about to close - in trillions of
The critical moment that might have wiped us from history has never failed."
"This is the miracle of life!"
Bi Fang stopped the camel and looked at the stars in the distance.
far away.
The roads are crisscrossed and the lights are brightly lit.
