The two of them set off after breakfast the next day. When they arrived at Barren Mountain, Director Wei and others were already waiting for them.
Seeing Wang Xiaoshan coming, Director Wei brought a man in his 30s to him.
Director Wei: "Old Wang, let me introduce someone to you. This is Captain Shi of the archaeological team."
Director Wei waited all day just for Wang Xiaoshan yesterday, and he has to go back today. He cannot look for fossils with Wang Xiaoshan on the barren mountain every day.
Today, Director Wei specially transferred a team leader to assist Wang Xiaoshan in his work. In addition to the team leader, he also sent 30 staff members.
The province is very concerned about and supports this excavation of fossils. With the support from above, all the people Director Wei transferred are elite soldiers and generals from various cities.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Captain Shi, hello!"
Captain Shi: "Hello, Lao Wang, I have long admired your name!"
Director Wei: "Old Wang, I will go back in a while. Captain Shi will cooperate with your work in the future!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Okay!"
Director Wei left directly after speaking. Including the previous staff at the scene, there are now a total of 40 people waiting to excavate in the barren mountain.
As long as Wang Xiaoshan finds fossils, these workers will come over to dig immediately. Today's battle is quite big.
Captain Shi: "Old Wang, the personnel can leave at any time. I will trouble you if I find a job!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Okay, let everyone rest first, I'm still looking for a while!"
Captain Shi said yes and went to make arrangements for the work. After making arrangements, he went up the mountain with Wang Xiaoshan.
Wang Xiaoshan took Li Miaomiao and Captain Shi to the place where the fossil was found yesterday. He wanted to continue searching from here.
He had just been looking for it for ten minutes, and it was time for the live broadcast.
"Good morning to all viewers in the live broadcast room, today we will continue to look for fossils!"
Wang Xiaoshan showed the audience the surrounding environment.
"I am now near the fossil pit where I found it yesterday. I will continue to look forward to see if there are more fossils!"
[Come on, Lao Wang, dig out more fossils today. Do you still remember the dinosaurs we talked about yesterday? If you forget, I can remind you!]
[I don’t know what fossils Lao Wang can dig out today. I’m really afraid that Lao Wang will dig out smelly fossils again. Those things will affect the appetite too much.]
[Old Wang, let’s start. We must dig out a super-large dinosaur. It doesn’t matter what it looks like, as long as it’s big enough. Just be big and don’t ask for anything else! 】
[Old Wang calls for help, don’t dig it alone. The dinosaur fossils are so big that you can’t handle them alone. You need to help them first before you dig them up!]
[I don’t know what fossils Lao Wang can dig out today. I really want to dig fossils with Lao Wang. Digging for treasures is so exciting. The more I watch, the more addictive I become. 】
The audience again began to remind Wang Xiaoshan what fossils to dig up, but he had no say in what fossils would be unearthed.
What's more, it's not easy to find dinosaurs in such a huge barren mountain. Wang Xiaoshan is not sure whether he can find more fossils. How can he dig whatever he wants?
However, the audience is as excited this morning as yesterday. They all hope that Wang Xiaoshan can dig out a few more fossils. They found one yesterday afternoon, and today they can find at least two!
Some viewers asked Wang Xiaoshan to call more people, bring in large machinery, and ask him to do infrared scanning. There were a lot of ideas, but the only purpose was to hope that he would dig out more fossils.
"I can't decide what we can dig up. It all depends on the dinosaurs. If there was a sea here hundreds of millions of years ago, we probably wouldn't be able to dig out land animals!"
"If it's land, you can't dig out the animals in the ocean. As for the animals flying in the sky, you can't be sure!"
"There are already many staff on standby below. As long as I find a large area of fossils, they will come up to help dig out!"
"As long as fossils can be found, the digging speed will be very fast. Now everyone can only wait patiently!"
After saying that, Wang Xiaoshan set off. He had to rush today. Yesterday it was cloudy, but today it is sunny. There will be a bright sun at noon.
Although the temperature is not as high as Yehu, it is still 27°. People who stay under the sun for a long time will also feel dizzy and uncomfortable.
Captain Shi was looking for treasure with Wang Xiaoshan for the first time. He didn't know what method Wang Xiaoshan had, but Director Wei had told him in the morning that Wang Xiaoshan was a special talent.
Special talents must have special talents. Captain Shi didn't ask any questions and just followed Wang Xiaoshan like a bodyguard.
Wang Xiaoshan walked for about an hour and finally found a place with treasure. He handed the camera to Li Miaomiao and started digging.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Captain Shi, please stay away, it's easy to get splashed with dirt!"
Captain Shi: "Oh, okay!"
Captain Shi didn't know what Wang Xiaoshan's abilities were when he came here for the first time. When he saw that Wang Xiaoshan was about to dig, he quickly stood aside and started watching.
Captain Shi didn't know where to stop, so he had to stand near Li Miaomiao and wait and see what happened. In fact, he still wanted to take a closer look!
Wang Xiaoshan dug very quickly because he had to hurry, and what he dug out were fossils anyway. If he accidentally applied too much force, it wouldn't cause too much damage.
Captain Shi's eyes widened, and his jaw almost dropped in shock. This was the first time he saw someone digging a hole so fast, so fast that afterimages almost appeared.
In the morning, Director Wei first told Captain Shi about Wang Xiaoshan's situation. At that time, Captain Shi didn't take it seriously because Wang Xiaoshan was a bit young and his title did not match his age.
When Captain Shi saw how fast Wang Xiaoshan was digging holes, he was convinced. No wonder he was a special talent. Wang Xiaoshan was definitely the best in the country in terms of the speed of digging holes.
Captain Shi was glad that he was not so close just now. He could have been buried by Wang Xiaoshan if he was so close. This speed was faster than all the staff in the barren mountain digging together.
After digging less than two meters deep, Wang Xiaoshan came out of the pit disappointed. Today was a bad start. He dug out a one-cent coin from the pit.
This time he didn't show it to the audience. He just said that no good things had been dug out, and then he set off directly after filling in the hole.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Finding fossils is troublesome. Wang Xiaoshan is not going to chat with the audience until he digs up fossils or valuable treasures. This would waste too much time.
More than half an hour later, Wang Xiaoshan found another place where he could dig. Just like before, he picked up the shovel and dug directly.
This time Wang Xiaoshan didn't find any treasure when he dug to a depth of two meters. He started digging the tunnel directly. Since there should be something valuable buried in such a deep pit.
After digging the tunnel, Wang Xiaoshan came out of the pit: "Captain Shi, please call a few people to help me and help me transport the soil out of the pit later!"
Captain Shi: "Okay, we'll be there soon!"
I made a call, and after a quarter of an hour six people came over, carrying carts, shovels and other tools.
Although the staff of the cultural relics unit dig holes relatively slowly, the equipment they bring with them is very complete every time.
Captain Shi said to the five people who came: "You will listen to Lao Wang's arrangements later. Whatever he asks you to do, you will do it!"
After making arrangements, Wang Xiaoshan took people down to the pit. This time, six people brought two push carts. We didn't know what was down there yet, so we planned to pile them next to the pit for a while and then deal with them.
Wang Xiaoshan kept shoveling the soil on the truck, and the staff kept moving it out. These workers thought that hauling soil was an easy job, but they didn't expect it to be extremely tiring.
Wang Xiaoshan's speed was too fast, and the two vehicles could not keep up with him. He didn't know what was underneath, or he was planning to widen the tunnel and bring in a few more vehicles to load the soil together.
Captain Shi looked at it for a while and then hurriedly called six more people and two cars. Everyone took turns getting on, and the speed slowed down when people got tired. This greatly affected Wang Xiaoshan's digging speed!
When Wang Xiaoshan dug to a depth of five meters, he finally found something. This time it was a real dinosaur fossil, but he only dug out a small part, and he couldn't tell what it looked like!
Wang Xiaoshan first took the camera to let the audience in the live broadcast room take a look. The bottom of the pit is relatively small, and the camera is just under the pit, so the audience can have a sneak peek.
"Dear viewers in the live broadcast room, we are very lucky this time. What we dug out this time are real dinosaur fossils!"
[Lao Wang was great today. With such a big bone stick, it seems that this dinosaur must be very big. Now I can’t wait to know what kind of dinosaur it is! 】
[The pit is really deep today. It feels like it is two stories high. Dinosaur fossils are really difficult to dig. Digging fossils is even harder than digging for treasures!]
[Lao Wang is the prettiest boy today. Lao Wang, hurry up and ask someone to dig. I don’t know if we can see what the dinosaurs under the pit look like today! 】
[Lao Wang’s speed today is really good. The fossils were dug out before noon. It seems that we should be able to see several fossils today!]
[Old Wang, you can go take a rest. You are tired after digging for so long. Now you can let the excavator and bulldozer come on, so that the speed can be faster! 】
The audience was very excited now. Everyone finally saw a dinosaur fossil in the pit. This time the dinosaur fossil dug out by Wang Xiaoshan was a bone.
This bone is very thick. The bone alone is as thick as Wang Xiaoshan's thigh. It is conceivable that this dinosaur must be very big.
After seeing the fossils, the audience began to urge Wang Xiaoshan to use the machine. This time the pit was deeper, and judging from the bones, the dinosaur was quite big.
If we use manpower to dig, we don't know that it will last until the end of the year. People can do it in a small area, but machinery in a large area is better.
But this is not something Wang Xiaoshan has to worry about. The cultural relics unit has a special process for digging dinosaur fossils. He only needs to find the fossils and let others do the rest.
"I don't know exactly what kind of dinosaur it is. We can only find out after it is dug out."
"This dinosaur should be quite big. It will take some time to dig it out. Please be patient and wait!"
After saying that, Wang Xiaoshan took the camera and went out. After he went out, everyone else swarmed into the pit to look at the fossils.
The staff who assisted Wang Xiaoshan just looked at the fossils in the pit. When they came out, everyone looked at him differently. Now these people, like Captain Shi, admire him.
At first, everyone was a little dissatisfied when these workers were kept transporting soil. But after seeing the fossils, everyone's attitude changed immediately.
After more than twenty minutes, Captain Shi asked the excavator to come. The slope of this barren hillside was not steep at all, and the excavator could easily come up.
The excavator started digging directly as soon as it arrived. The fossil was more than five meters above the ground. The excavator first dug down more than three meters, which made it easier for the staff to dig.
After getting on the excavator, it would take a while to dig out the fossil. It was almost noon and people could take a rest while the machine got on.
Wang Xiaoshan's stuck point is quite good. The excavator should be almost done digging by noon, and the staff can start working in the afternoon.
The camp of the cultural relics unit has people who specialize in cooking. Wang Xiaoshan and Li Miaomiao had lunch in the camp.
There are no trees in the barren hills, and there are only some weeds nearby. As long as the weeds are cleaned up and the fire is used safely, it will not cause a fire.
After the meal, Wang Xiaoshan and Li Miaomiao went to the car to rest. The camp was some distance from the excavation site, and he was not going to let the audience see it.
Moreover, digging holes with excavators is not interesting. At noon, Wang Xiaoshan could only let the audience see the barren mountains first.
In order to speed up the process, Captain Shi directly mobilized two excavators in the morning to dig out the fossils underneath the soil as soon as possible.
With Wang Xiaoshan, these workers could easily find the fossils under the soil. Captain Shi knew that he was very busy, so he wanted to dig out the fossils as soon as possible.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, some of the staff in the camp set off, and the speed of the two excavators was still very fast.
By the time the staff arrived, the excavator had almost reached the designated depth. If someone had to dig, it might take a day.
After waiting for more than 20 minutes, the excavator finished its work and went back to rest. The next work required the staff to go down and dig slowly.
The areas excavated by the excavator are all areas designated by Wang Xiaoshan, which allows the staff to dig out the treasures under the pit faster!
After Captain Shi arranged the work for the staff, everyone started digging. In order to dig out the fossils under the pit faster, the people digging the pit were divided into two groups. One wave got tired and the other got up.
The workers who came in the afternoon had already rested all morning, and they were very active when digging in the afternoon, and no one was lazy.
In this way, Wang Xiaoshan was relaxed. He could watch these workers digging the hole from the top of the pit, but these people really didn't dig very fast.
On the one hand, the speed is slow, but on the other hand, these workers are afraid of damaging the fossils, so they dig very carefully.
Wang Xiaoshan watched for a while and then left. He was going to other places to see if there were any fossils. It was quite boring for everyone to stay there and watch people dig holes.
When leaving, Wang Xiaoshan put the camera on the edge of the pit at the excavation site. He just happened to let the audience take a look at the excavation in the afternoon, which saved a bunch of frantic urging from the audience.
Originally, Li Miaomiao wanted to go with Wang Xiaoshan, but Wang Xiaoshan refused. It would be better for the reporter to stay at the excavation site, so that it would be easier to write the article.
Li Miaomiao took a few photos from time to time while watching. There were no other reporters at the scene except her, so her reports would be read by many readers.
