In order to cooperate with Wang Xiaoshan in excavating dinosaurs, Director Wei dispatched more than ten people from other places to help him. Now there are less than 50 people digging in the barren mountain.
If these workers weren't too slow, Director Wei wouldn't want Wang Xiaoshan to dig for fear of tiring him. It would be impossible to dig in several places without him.
During lunch, several old experts who came in the morning went to chat with Wang Xiaoshan for a while.
These experts are all masters in the field of fossils, and one of them, Liu, can be said to be an authority on the fossil circle.
Expert Liu: "Lao Wang, thank you very much for digging out Dunkleosteus. There are too few fossils of this kind in China and there are few studies on them. You digging out such a complete one will be of great help to our research."
"
Wang Xiaoshan: "This is the result of everyone's cooperation. Besides, thanks to your research, Mr. Liu, we can learn more about ancient organisms."
Expert Liu: "You are too humble. I have watched your live broadcast. Not only do you know how to dig holes, but you also speak very professionally. It seems that you are also a person who likes paleontology!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Well, I liked all kinds of dinosaurs when I was young. Now I also read related books when I have time. Now I can use the knowledge I gained before digging fossils!"
Expert Liu: "There are fewer and fewer young people like you who like paleontology, especially since you are so professional and have a bright future."
"I have something else to do in the afternoon and I can't stay here. Let's keep in mind the price. We can sit down and chat when we have time later!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Okay."
After exchanging contact information, Expert Liu left. The remaining experts are still in the barren mountains for the time being. They plan to study dinosaur fossils in the afternoon.
After the meal, Wang Xiaoshan and Li Miaomiao went to the car to rest. Now every day at noon, he would take a nap to regain his energy before going digging in the afternoon.
Li Miaomiao: "I've met that Expert Liu just now. He has a weird temper and likes to keep a straight face. It's so rare to smile the whole time when I was chatting with you!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "The old man is very easy to talk to. I don't find anything weird. Is it because I am so handsome that he treats me well?"
Li Miaomiao: "I think I think you are talented, otherwise I wouldn't talk to you so politely."
Li Miaomiao admires Wang Xiaoshan so much now. It would be great to find a husband like this. He is handsome and knows a lot. If you find him, you will be lucky.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Then you have to serve me well. If I don't perform well during the day, it's because you didn't serve me well at night!"
Li Miaomiao: "Go, go, go. I was tortured yesterday and couldn't sleep well. You are performing normally. I'm still sleepy now!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Then you should get some sleep now so that you will be energetic at night."
Li Miaomiao wanted to cry but had no tears. Wang Xiaoshan was too tortured. It was really painful and happy at the same time.
Wang Xiaoshan took an hour's break at noon and continued digging holes. Now that there were more people, he could mark a few more places for these workers to dig.
Nowadays, Barren Mountain requires machines and machines, and people. If the speed is still so slow, it would be unreasonable.
The staff started digging wherever they needed to be. Now that Wang Xiaoshan has his own pit to dig every day, he has no time to help others dig holes to measure the depth of the fossils from the ground.
At this time, the staff need to dig the hole themselves, and then ask the excavator to help dig out the top soil first after determining the depth.
This was not how workers used to dig when they found barren mountains. The prerequisite for such digging was that there must be capable people like Wang Xiaoshan.
As long as it is a place marked by Wang Xiaoshan, the staff will definitely dig out something, sometimes it is fossils, sometimes it is some other gadgets.
However, fossils are often found in digs. Out of ten pits dug, only one may not contain fossils, but other comparative coins and the like.
As long as Wang Xiaoshan is here, these workers can dig holes with confidence and boldness. They would not dig like this before. This digging method is only suitable for confirming that there is something underground.
When digging fossils in barren mountains, the distance between each pit is quite far, mainly because the fossils are relatively large.
The staff followed Wang Xiaoshan's instructions and dug out one area before digging another. They tried their best to dig out all the fossils on the mountain. It was better to dig out by mistake than to miss out.
Wang Xiaoshan digs the hole farthest from other people every time, but other staff members like to come to his hole the most.
When these workers take a break every time they take a shift, the first thing they do when they come out of the pit is not to drink water or find a place to sit down and rest, but to take a look at Wang Xiaoshan's pit.
These workers are very concerned about the fossils in the Wang Xiaoshan pit. They are all digging the pit and do not know the situation in the Wang Xiaoshan pit. The only way is to go to the side of the pit to take a look.
There is plenty of time in the afternoon. Wang Xiaoshan will chat with the audience when digging holes. There is no fixed topic, just whatever comes to mind.
[Lao Wang, what kind of fossils do you think there might be below? Give us some spoilers in advance! 】
[What do those old men who came this morning do? Aren’t they all experts? 】
[Old Wang, your location has been discovered. I just saw that some media are reporting on the situation in the barren mountains! 】
[Old Wang, hurry up and dig, you haven’t seen anything all morning. If you don’t speed up in the afternoon, it will be completely out of business today!]
[When are the fossils from the barren mountains expected to be transported away, and how many more days can we see them?]
...
When we started chatting in the afternoon, the audience was like curious babies, asking endless questions. The barrage kept scrolling and it was hard to see what was being posted.
Most of the questions asked were related to the fossils in the pit. Many viewers wanted to know what fossils Wang Xiaoshan dug this time and whether they had time to dig them out today.
"Don't worry, everyone will be able to see dinosaur fossils today. With so many people digging for fossils, they can still be dug out!"
"The elderly people you saw in the pit in the morning and just now are all old experts in fossil research!"
"The fossils will be transported away in a few days. These experts want to see them in advance so they come to the barren mountains. These experts only study the fossils and cannot explain them to everyone!"
"Today, the barren mountain has sent more staff. Now everyone is working hard to dig. I believe that fossils or treasures will be dug out soon!"
Just now, some viewers asked these experts if they could explain the content of fossils to them. These experts were not invited by Wang Xiaoshan, and they would not explain it to the audience.
Now only Wang Xiaoshan can explain to the audience in Huangshan, and there is no helper. This is a project led by the cultural relics unit, so it is still difficult for others to come in.
When Wang Xiaoshan was digging holes, he would occasionally look at the comments posted by viewers in the live broadcast room. He would usually reply to the comment he saw, and he would not pick any issues.
The audience of that barrage will be very happy if it can be selected by Wang Xiaoshan. The chance that he will see so many barrages in the live broadcast room is still very low.
This time Wang Xiaoshan dug a deeper pit, and Captain Shi even arranged for a helper to help him transport soil from the pit.
In this way, Wang Xiaoshan has to come out from the bottom of the pit to transport soil from time to time. Walking back and forth in the tunnel is actually very tiring, and it mainly wastes time.
Someone was helping Wang Xiaoshan under the pit, so Li Miaomiao couldn't go to the pit to chat with him. The pit was not very big, and if there were three people standing at once, he wouldn't be able to dig.
When the digging was about five meters deep, Wang Xiaoshan finally dug out the treasure under the pit. This time the pit was not very deep, and was much shallower than other pits.
This fossil is not particularly large, but if he wants to take it out, Wang Xiaoshan must expand the deepest part of the pit to make it easier to carry it.
Wang Xiaoshan dug it out and showed it to the audience first. This fossil was not easy to take out, so he wanted to let the audience take a look first, and then find a way to take it out after watching it.
"This is the fossil I just dug out in the pit. I'll show it to you first. It hasn't been cleaned yet. I'll clean it up after I move it out!"
[Old Wang, what are you digging for? Is it a fossil or something else? After looking at it for a long time, I still didn’t understand what it was!]
[Is that dark mass the hair of ancient animals? It can’t be the hair fossils of ancient people, right? What Lao Wang dug is too difficult to guess! 】
[It looks like a fossil at first glance. The most obvious thing is that it is a stone. It must be some kind of animal or plant. I think it is more likely to be an animal. 】
[Is it a small fish? There are too many things on it. It’s difficult to see clearly without cleaning it up. Lao Wang should move out and take a look! 】
[Looking under the pit is a little difficult, Lao Wang, let’s get out first. It’s brighter outside, but it’s too dark down there!]
The afternoon sun was blocked by clouds, and it was a bit dark below the pit. In addition, Wang Xiaoshan did not clean up the soil above, so the audience seemed to have a hard time.
"The ones dug out this time are still fossils, animal fossils!"
"If you can't see clearly, I'll move out now and let everyone take a look at it later. Please wait patiently."
After saying that, Wang Xiaoshan went to find someone. The fossils excavated were a fossil board. The board was about one meter long and more than 60 centimeters wide. It would be difficult for Wang Xiaoshan to move it out completely by himself.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Captain Shi, please send a few people to help me move the fossils out. It's difficult to move the fossils this time!"
Captain Shi: "Okay, I'll go look at the fossils with you first and see if I need any tools!"
The two people came to the pit, and Captain Shi carefully measured the size and thickness of the fossil. If it was thick enough, it could be lifted out. If it was too thin, something would need to be placed underneath.
Captain Shi: "Old Wang, this may be a bit troublesome. Please wait a moment and I'll arrange for someone to get the tools!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Okay, sorry to trouble you!"
Captain Shi: "No trouble, no trouble!"
Captain Shi went back first and called a few helpers. This time they came with plenty of tools to dig up fossils.
The staff also brought many tools that were rarely used before. In the past, they dug slowly. If they couldn't move them out, they would put them in the hole first.
Now that Wang Xiaoshan is digging, the digging speed has accelerated. Unless the particularly large dinosaur fossils are left in the pit, all the small ones will be moved out.
After the fossils are moved out, the pit can be filled in. Now that there are so many workers in the barren mountain, Captain Shi is afraid that someone will accidentally fall into the pit.
If you fall into such a deep pit, you will either die or be disabled. This is no joke. Especially large dinosaur fossils have been blocked by protective fences.
All the small ones have been filled in. After the dinosaur fossils in these large pits are removed, all these large pits will also be filled in to prevent people from falling and getting hurt.
Captain Shi came with tools and four people. Fortunately, Wang Xiaoshan had expanded the pit just now, otherwise the four people would not be able to turn around.
This fossil is relatively thin. The staff first reinforced the fossil and placed something underneath it. The fossil will easily break when moved directly.
The preparation work alone took more than an hour. When other staff members knew that Wang Xiaoshan had dug something, they all ran over to see what fossil it was.
The fossil hasn't been moved out yet, and the staff don't know what it is, but they have determined that the ancient creature on this fossil should not be large.
The staff below the pit are busy, and no one has gone down to the pit. The more people going down, it will only affect the work efficiency.
Captain Shi was in command at the scene. He could watch it from above, but he couldn't go down. He couldn't allow any accidents to happen while transporting the fossils that Wang Xiaoshan had finally dug out.
Captain Shi repeatedly warned that it could be slow but must not be damaged. In order to facilitate the transportation of the fossil, he also asked others to widen the tunnel.
Captain Shi just saw the ancient creatures on the fossil under the pit. He knew that the research value of this fossil was extraordinary, so he attached great importance to it.
The other staff looked at it for a while and then dispersed. Everyone still had work to do and couldn't stay by the pit to watch. In the end, there were only a few helpers left, and the rest of Captain Shi left them to work.
Li Miaomiao whispered: "It's so slow. It can be transported out in time!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Don't worry, it will be shipped out in a moment. Didn't you already see the ancient creatures above? Why are you still in such a hurry!"
Li Miaomiao: "I was anxious just because I saw it. I have never seen this kind of fossil anywhere else before. This fossil will definitely make the front page!"
Li Miaomiao is very excited now. She is the third person besides Wang Xiaoshan and Captain Shi who knows what is on it. She can't wait to move it out quickly and let her take some photos.
Wang Xiaoshan: "It's just a day for you. Don't worry, you can move it out of the pit in a while. Just because it's of high value, you have to make sure it's foolproof. What if it breaks?"
Li Miaomiao: "Yes, just wait slowly, I hope it will be faster!"
Not only was Li Miaomiao anxious, the audience in the live broadcast room was even more anxious. After waiting for such a long time, no fossil has been transported out, and the waiting time has almost caught up with the excavation time.
The audience did not know what was going on under the pit. Wang Xiaoshan would go to the pit from time to time to let the audience take a look. However, the distance was too far and only the staff could be seen busy working. It was not clear what they were doing.
Wang Xiaoshan also told the audience in the live broadcast room that everyone should wait patiently. The fossil will be unearthed soon. It took nearly a day to wait, and it won't be long.
Many viewers felt that the fossils this time were not simple because they only took so long to be transported.
