Chapter 378: Catch the ancient sea and catch the ancient fish
Everyone is waiting patiently. This is a delicate job and no one can rush it. They can only wait outside the pit.
The staff reinforced the pit for an hour, and it took another hour to transport it out. It took a total of two hours to carefully transport the fossil out.
A staff member lifts the fossil out of the pit like a sedan. Only in this way can the entire fossil be kept intact.
The barren mountain was not very flat, so the staff carried the fossils directly to the camp. Captain Shi had already asked the staff to create a flat area in the camp.
The fossils are not very heavy, but they need to be stable. Four staff members walked slowly for half an hour before placing the fossils at the designated location.
After placing them, Wang Xiaoshan used a brush to clean up the soil on the fossils. He took a camera to let the audience take a look at the excavated fossils.
"Dear viewers, this is the dinosaur fossil that was dug out of the pit just now. Everyone should know this little animal!"
[Old Wang, you are really awesome. I can’t help but admire you. Others dug up fossils and dug up one, but you just dug up a bunch of fossils. 】
[This must be sealed. It feels like these fish are swimming and suddenly frozen there. I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes! 】
[There is actually a school of fish sealed on the fossil? Isn’t this amazing? There must be at least hundreds of fish. Lao Wang, you really surprise us every time! 】
[When I looked at it just now, it was a blurry mass, but it turned out to be small fish. These fish look almost like tadpoles! 】
[Lao Wang can apply for the Guinness record as the person who dug up the most fish at one time. There are so many fish on one fossil. This is the first time I have seen it. 】
The fossils excavated by Wang Xiaoshan this time really shocked the audience. Many viewers thought it was incredible that there was actually a school of fish on a fossil.
There are fish fossils in many museums, but the fish fossils excavated are relatively large, and there are also small ones, but the number is very small.
There are hundreds of fish on a fossil like Wang Xiaoshan's, which is absolutely unprecedented. No such fossil has been excavated in any country.
The fish on this fossil are swimming in the same direction, most of them are gathered together, and only a few fish are swimming outside the large group.
These fish are so small that they look like fry or tadpoles. If Wang Xiaoshan hadn't just dug them out of the soil, many people would have thought they were modern imitations.
So many fish were sealed on one fossil at the same time. Not even the experts, let alone the workers digging in the barren mountains, had seen it.
Now many staff members are surrounding Wang Xiaoshan. These staff members are deeply shocked. How come there are so many fishes together? What kind of god is Wang Xiaoshan? How come the fossils excavated are so unique.
These workers usually feel that they are experts in digging fossils. After meeting Wang Xiaoshan, these workers finally know what it means to have a different world and a better world.
This cannot be compared. When I compare these staff members, I feel that I am a good talent. Wang Xiaoshan is so strong, and much better than them. Not only can he dig, but he can also speak, and he is an all-round talent.
When Wang Xiaoshan was telling the audience just now, Li Miaomiao was already counting the number of fish on the fossil.
There were so many fish that Li Miaomiao could only count the fish heads. There was a small black spot on the fish heads, which made counting easier.
Except for the eyes, these small fishes are all gray, and their bodies are all gray. If you want to count their bodies, you will definitely not be able to count them, but you can probably count them by counting their eyes.
Li Miaomiao hasn't finished counting yet. After a while, Wang Xiaoshan will tell the audience how many there are in total.
"Let me tell you, the fish dug out today are not tadpoles. The fish on this fossil are all of the same type."
"It is an extinct fish called Erismatto. The name is a bit confusing, but it is indeed the name of the fish."
[Seeing such a group of fish reminds me of sardines. Sardines like to act in groups. I didn’t expect that fish in ancient times also liked to act in groups like this! 】
[Did this fish suddenly run out of water while swimming, so it dried up and died, or was it scorched to death by the sun?]
[Judging from the direction in which the fish swim, they probably turned into fossils not because the water dried up while waiting to die, but because they unfortunately turned into fossils during migration.]
[The name of the fish is convoluted, and its death is so strange. It would be great if these fish could talk, they could tell us what happened back then! 】
[If you want to ask what the fish do, just ask Lao Wang directly. Lao Wang will analyze these fish for us. Lao Wang has a lot of knowledge. Only experts can’t understand it. No one without Lao Wang can understand it! 】
The audience also discovered that all the fish on the fossil were swimming in the same direction, and it felt like they suddenly turned into fossils while swimming.
Looking at the fossils, there are no fish running around. It makes people feel that at the moment they turned into fossils, the fish were still swimming in the same direction and did not stop.
From the way these fish keep moving in groups, we can see that these fish have special habits and like sardines to move in groups.
It is safer to act in groups, and the risk of being eaten if you act alone is very high. You feel safer when you get together. Of course, sometimes you get together and become a buffet for big fish.
Especially smart animals like dolphins, they will work together to hunt these small fish that gather together. Of course, only a small part will be eaten in the end, and most of the fish will survive in the end.
Fish have already begun to act collectively in ancient times. It seems that some of the abilities of many modern fish have been passed down from ancient times, and some abilities have been engraved in the genes of fish.
"These fish probably turned into fossils when they suddenly encountered something while swimming."
"Judging from the basic conditions of swimming, they are running away, because the shape of the entire fish school is relatively loose on the outside and tight on the inside!"
"This situation usually occurs because natural enemies are attacking. In order to save some of the fish, the fish group gets together and sacrifices the fish outside so that the fish inside can escape!"
"These fish must have encountered some accident on their way to escape. Although they were not eaten by the world, they were buried together!"
[Lao Wang is amazing. You also know everything about fish, Men Qing. I really feel that there is nothing Lao Wang doesn’t understand, he is awesome!]
[It was so unpredictable that I escaped the pursuit of natural enemies, but in the end I did not escape the fate of turning into a fossil. Oh, how pitiful!]
[Old Wang may be able to find the big fish that was chasing them by searching around this fossil, and maybe he will find something new! 】
[Old Wang, I see Li Miaomiao has been counting for a long time. Have you counted how many fish you have? Tell us the number after you finish counting! 】
[It seems to be related to the mass extinction of life. At that time, all the reptiles on the land disappeared, and few fish in the sea were spared! 】
When digging for dinosaurs, we can often unearth some incredible fossils. When we encounter such fossils, we can only slowly speculate on the reasons.
After all, dinosaurs can't talk. If you want to know the situation at that time, you need to continue to study these fossils.
In fact, fossils are written records left by creatures that have existed on the earth. As long as we can decipher the text code above, we will know what happened to the earth in that era.
When Wang Xiaoshan was chatting with the audience just now, Li Miaomiao was already counting hard. Not only was she counting, Captain Shi also joined in and counted with her later.
The number is too large. Two people count together. In the end, they can still know whether the number is correct or not. Just now, the two people counted it twice and finally determined the number of fish.
Li Miaomiao's eyes were filled with stars. She kept staring at a bunch of small black dots and counting them with extraordinary difficulty. She first discovered that counting was so tiring.
The first time Li Miaomiao counted on the fossils, and the second time she took a clear photo of the fossils, it was a little easier to count on her mobile phone.
You can zoom in on the picture on your mobile phone, so you don't have to keep taking pictures of the fossils and count them one by one. You can also simply mark them when counting on your mobile phone to prevent missing numbers or missing too many fossils.
After knowing the specific number of fish on the fossil, Wang Xiaoshan said to the live broadcast room: "After counting just now, there are a total of 260 fish on this fossil. The number of fish is still very large."
[Hey, dear, Lao Wang, you dug out more than 200 fish in one hole. It’s almost time to catch up with the fishing net. When fishermen go out to fish, sometimes they may not be able to catch 200 fish in one net. 】
[It seems that Lao Wang is also an old fisherman. He has been fishing professionally for 20 years. Sometimes Lao Wang can do a live broadcast of catching the sea. Now this kind of live broadcast has become very popular! 】
[Don’t do anything else. Lao Wang can’t finish digging these treasures. You still let Lao Wang go to the sea. Do you think Lao Wang knows the art of multiple shadows and clones? 】
[Isn’t Lao Wang leading you to chase the sea now? What he is chasing is the ancient sea. Which anchor who is chasing the sea now dares to chase the ancient sea. 】
[Don’t tell me, it’s true. What Lao Wang digs out are all ancient fish. He is much better than those anchors who live broadcast fishing for modern fish. Lao Wang is the only one on the Internet who catches ancient fish! 】
It’s true, except for Wang Xiaoshan, no anchor on the entire Internet has broadcast live about digging for fossils, and Wang Xiaoshan also dug out so many fossils.
Many viewers thought that Wang Xiaoshan was really leading them into the sea, but the fish in this sea had become fossils and could no longer swim!
Looking at modern live fish is really not as exciting as looking at fossils. If you don’t see modern fish today, they will still be there tomorrow. If you don’t see these ancient fish today, they may have moved away tomorrow.
Although there are many fish fossils in the Dinosaur Fossil Museum, not all fossils are available for the audience to see. If they were all allowed to be viewed, the venue would not be able to accommodate them.
What's more, there are some special fossils that experts still need to study. How can they have time for tourists to view them every day? What they can view are common ones that have been studied.
Like the Dunkleosteus that Wang Xiaoshan dug up before, there are so few of these fish that experts haven't had time to study them. How can they be put in a museum for the audience to see?
For some particularly precious fossils, the museums may have imitations. Many museums are open and although there are railings, some people still run inside to touch them.
What the audience sees in the live broadcast room are definitely freshly unearthed fossils, and you will be compensated ten if they are fake. No one can say whether the fossils seen elsewhere are real or fake.
Wang Xiaoshan has been watching the audience for a long time. He wants to give up the C position. Many people around him are still waiting to watch.
As soon as other staff members saw Wang Xiaoshan leave, they hurriedly gathered around the fossils. Anyway, there were many fish and they could be seen from every position.
These staff members also took pictures while looking at it. It is rare to see such a unique fossil and it must be recorded.
While Wang Xiaoshan is resting, some staff members will come over to chat with him. In the eyes of these staff members, he is like a god, and no one is more powerful than him.
Wang Xiaoshan is now the idol of these staff members. It is very happy to chat with the idol, especially since he has no airs and is very easy-going. Everyone likes to come to him.
These staff members dispersed after reading this. Wang Xiaoshan's hole has been dug, but these staff members have not yet finished digging their hole. They have to continue digging.
The staff saw that Wang Xiaoshan was digging out these magical fossils every day, which was a stimulation and an incentive for them.
Captain Shi quickly reported to the superiors that Wang Xiaoshan had dug out so many fish. The superiors were shocked when they heard the news.
With talented people like Wang Xiaoshan, these leaders can hear content that surprises them every day.
Some leadership experts have Wang Xiaoshan's contact information. Many people have sent you congratulatory messages after they found out that he had dug out so many fish.
These experts believe that Wang Xiaoshan's presence is enough to improve the level of domestic archaeological circles in the world. It is absolutely unprecedented for one person to influence the entire domestic archaeological circle.
Wang Xiaoshan: “Do you still want to order?”
Li Miaomiao's eyes hurt from counting just now, so Wang Xiaoshan gave her a drop of eye drops to relieve the fatigue of her eyes.
Li Miaomiao: "It's much better. I will never count again. My head hurts from counting today. I feel like I might be counting when I sleep and dream at night!"
Wang Xiaoshan said with a smile: "It's not that exaggerated. If you eat something delicious at night, you will forget about counting the fish just now, and you can still remember it until the evening!"
Li Miaomiao: "You will know as soon as I ask you to count. I can really remember nearly three hundred small black dots until the evening. Counting them once is really not enough!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "Your memory is about the same as that of a fish. It only lasts for five seconds. Things I often tell you will be forgotten immediately after you turn around!"
Li Miaomiao: "Tsk, you only have five seconds of memory!"
Wang Xiaoshan: "How about it? OK? No, go and lie down in the car. I'm afraid you will fall into a pit!"
Li Miaomiao: "It's okay, just take a rest and you'll be fine. It's just that my eyes were a little blurry after counting just now!"
Li Miaomiao's eyesight is a bit blurry, so she probably won't fall into the pits. The remaining pits are getting bigger and bigger now. If she can fall into them, it's not a blur, she's blind.
