After Wang Xiaoshan showed the audience, he went to dig fossils in the mountains. The only fossils he dug out just now were trilobites, but the other fossils were not that good.
Wang Xiaoshan wanted to dig out the fossils from his pit as soon as possible. He didn't want to be last.
At this time, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing were almost drunk. At noon, they thought that they would just write one fossil in the morning and another fossil in the afternoon.
What the two girls didn't expect was that a trilobite fossil was dug up in the afternoon. This fossil has not been reported before and must be reported today.
Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing, look at me and I look at you. If you don’t have a dinner date, you don’t have much work. If you just have a meal date, you will have a lot of work.
Fortunately, there is a lot of information about trilobites online. The two girls don't need to wait for Wang Xiaoshan to come back and explain it to them in detail. The fossils are at the camp and they can read and write about them.
Wang Xiaoshan saw several experts standing by the pit waiting for him all the way away.
These old experts were so persistent that Wang Xiaoshan had no choice but to chat with them for a while at the edge of the pit before digging out the fossils in the morning.
After chatting for a while, these old experts discovered that Wang Xiaoshan knew too much. Wang Xiaoshan knew a lot of knowledge that they did not know.
The veteran expert originally came to study fossils, but he didn't expect to meet a big shot like Wang Xiaoshan.
Wang Xiaoshan chatted with the old experts for more than ten minutes before going to dig holes. The old experts were still unfinished and wanted to talk to him more.
Wang Xiaoshan will not give these old experts a chance. He is still busy digging holes and has no time to chat with experts all the time.
When he got down into the pit, Wang Xiaoshan started digging quickly, trying to dig out the fossils as soon as possible.
He dug so fast that the earth-moving staff assigned to him by Captain Shi were overwhelmed.
One cart of soil had just been transported out, and the second cart was already full. Fortunately, the person assigned to Wang Xiaoshan was a young man. A middle-aged man would have fallen down from exhaustion.
When Captain Shi was inspecting the barren mountain, he found that Wang Xiaoshan's staff were already overwhelmed, so he quickly called in another person to help.
Arranged two talents to keep up with Wang Xiaoshan's rhythm.
Wang Xiaoshan dug in the pit for about an hour and finally dug out the fossils from the ground.
The fossil he dug up this time was not large, about 20 centimeters long and wide at most, and there was only one creature on it.
Wang Xiaoshan moved the fossils out of the pit and brought them directly back to the camp. After returning, he used a brush to clean the soil on them, and then took the camera to show the audience the fossils he had just dug out.
"Dear viewers, this is the fossil I just dug out in the pit."
[Lao Wang, you are digging too fast. I feel like you dug out fossils just after watching the trilobites. There are too many fossils unearthed. I may have to work overtime at night. 】
[Old Wang, what kind of insect did you dig up? Is it a hummingbird? The insects are so small that it’s difficult to tell what kind of insect they are!]
[This insect has wings and should be able to fly. The question is what kind of insect is it? It looks like a bee, but it is much bigger than a bee. 】
[This insect looks about five centimeters. There should be no small insects that are so big and can fly in modern times!]
[It may be a bee. The largest bee in the world can be up to six centimeters long, which is about the same length as the animals on the fossil! 】
There is only one animal on the fossil excavated by Wang Xiaoshan this time. To be precise, it should be an insect.
The posture of this insect on the fossil is lying down, with its pair of wings slightly open, and it has six legs in addition to the wings.
The insect has a pair of curved antennae on its head, and its chest and abdomen are very large. It looks like a bee, but its size is similar to that of a hummingbird.
This fossil is very well preserved, with wings, antennae, and legs clearly visible, so after viewing the fossil, the audience can be sure that what he dug up must be an insect.
It's just that the audience doesn't know what kind of insect it is. If it's a small insect, it's easy to say, but this insect is a bit big, which confuses the audience.
There are many insects in real life, but most of them are relatively small, and only a few are relatively large.
Not only must they be able to fly, but they must also be large. Some viewers thought of bees. Bees are relatively large and look more like animals on fossils.
After some viewers said it looked like a bee, many viewers went online to check what the super-large bee looked like. Not to mention that many viewers felt that what Wang Xiaoshan dug this time was a bee.
Attentive viewers also checked online to see if there were bees in dinosaurs.
In fact, bees and dinosaurs are species of the same era, but the dinosaurs have become extinct, but bees have survived.
Bees are an ancient and vital species, and their origins predate humans.
"Let me tell you, the fossil I dug out this time is indeed an insect, but this insect is not a bee or a wasp, and has nothing to do with bees."
"The animal on the fossil is a giant ant, the kind of ant we often see, but this is just a giant ant."
After Wang Xiaoshan told the answer, the audience was a little confused. They thought it was a bee just now, but they didn't expect it to be an ant.
There is a big difference between ants and bees. One is an animal that flies every day, and the other is an insect that often crawls and occasionally flies.
In real life, the ants people see cannot fly no matter how big they are. The ones that can fly are not many and are not common.
When Wang Xiaoshan came back from the mountains just now, there were many staff behind him. At first, these staff thought they were bees.
Not only the staff but also the experts who came back with Wang Xiaoshan to join in the fun initially thought they were insects that often fly, and they did not think of ants.
The main reason is that this ant is too big, about 5 centimeters long, about the same size as a hummingbird. This giant ant looks quite scary.
What Wang Xiaoshan dug up was an ordinary giant ant. The queen of such a giant ant must be very big, which makes me feel scared just thinking about it.
[It scares the baby to death that the ants have grown so big. Fortunately, the ants now are smaller. If they had grown so big, they could eat people. 】
[Lao Wang gave us a lot of experience today. Let alone seeing such a big giant ant, I have never even heard of it! 】
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [The largest ant in the world now is called the bull ant, with a body length of about 3.7 centimeters. Bull ants will also be eaten if they encounter ancient giant ants.]
[If an ant grows so big, I don’t know what other insects look like. Insects are small, but if they are small, they can rule the entire world.]
[Let alone ants, any insect that grows this big is quite scary. I feel like this kind of ant can easily eat a small dinosaur. 】
The ant dug out by Wang Xiaoshan is so big that it has exceeded people's understanding of ants. If this kind of ant is still alive, it can really eat anything it sees.
Insects cannot grow very large due to breathing problems. In ancient times, they were so large that they became huge.
The bull ant that the audience is talking about is the largest ant in the world. This kind of ant is called a giant ant.
Bull ants are not only huge in size, but also very powerful in combat. Even a huge python will be devoured instantly and turned into bones if it is stared at by bull ants.
However, this ferocious fighting bull lives in tropical rainforests and poses relatively little threat to humans.
For those who like to explore in the jungle, the most terrifying thing is not the wild beasts, but these very ferocious ants.
Insects like ants live in groups. There are at least millions of ants in a large ant nest. The fighting power of so many ants together is very scary.
Especially the huge ants, they have sharp and powerful jaws, which can bite into the flesh with one bite, leaving the prey bloody and bloody in seconds.
In ancient times, the food of this giant ant was 100% dinosaurs, especially those small dinosaurs. As long as they were caught, they would die.
Slightly larger dinosaurs would have to take a detour when seeing such giant ants. There are too many ants, so they can only stay away if they don't want to be eaten.
"Giant ants like this are similar to today's ants in ancient times. Whenever they find prey, they will rush upward in a swarm."
"If you see a lot of ants in the wild, be sure not to mess with them. Although the ants are small, their bites can be really painful."
[This kind of scene often appears in movies. I remember there was a movie where people were buried in the soil and let red ants eat them. In a matter of minutes, all the people were eaten were their bones. 】
[Termites alone can kill people. Now there is a company that specializes in cleaning up ants. The ants are about to turn into mice, and everyone screams for beatings when they see them.]
[Ants are a good thing and very delicious. There is a kind of ant that tastes crispy and delicious, with juice overflowing, making you want to stop eating it!]
[There is indeed a culture of ant cuisine in foreign countries, where ants are used as the main course, but this kind of dish is unappetizing and cannot be eaten at all.]
[Why are there so many different flavors? Forget it, everyone should just eat beef and mutton!]
Termites are real pests, especially in coastal cities. Termites appear in some homes where there is a lot of wooden furniture.
Once you encounter termites in your home, you need to have specialized personnel come to clean it, which is also super troublesome.
Originally, the style of the live broadcast was quite good, but when one of the viewers mentioned eating ants, the style of the painting suddenly changed. Many viewers thought it was too harsh.
There are edible insects, but they are much less compared to people who like to eat beef and mutton. Many people cannot accept insects.
Some viewers also posted comments to popularize science about a kind of honey pot ants that are very delicious.
The abdomen of this kind of honeypot ant can become the size of a grape, and the honey inside is heavier than the ant's own weight. When filled with honey, their abdomen will turn into a landscape, like a candy.
I heard it's delicious, but Wang Xiaoshan has never tried it. It's fine if he eats other foods. But he couldn't eat ants if he was asked to eat them.
Wang Xiaoshan did not continue to discuss the topic of eating ants with the audience. He finished reading to the audience and then went to rest. He was sweating all over from digging too fast just now.
Wang Xiaoshan stopped talking, and the staff who had just been watching all came over. Everyone wanted to take a closer look at this magical ant.
There are about 15,000 species of ants in the world. Ants vary in size. The average ant body length is about 1-20 mm.
The smallest ant in the world is only 2 millimeters long, and the largest is the bull ant, which is 3.7 centimeters long.
There are some giant ants in the world that many people have never seen, let alone the ancient giant ants dug up by Wang Xiaoshan this time.
These fossil diggers have little interest in living creatures and have a special liking for these ancient fossils.
So Wang Xiaoshan just said for a long time that these workers only remembered that what he dug out were ancient giant ants, bull ants, and these workers didn't care at all.
A group of staff gathered around the ground, taking photos and discussing.
Only a small number of people returned to the camp with Wang Xiaoshan this time. If the large army in the mountain came back, it would be difficult to see this fossil.
This time several old experts found an opportunity to chat with Wang Xiaoshan again. This time they stopped talking to Wang Xiaoshan about skin fossils and started talking about giant ants.
Giant ants are very rare in China. These old experts in the barren mountains have never seen real ant fossils before. All they have seen are pictures.
Several old experts all gathered around Wang Xiaoshan and began to discuss giant ants with him.
Some staff members who had seen the giant ant fossil also gathered around to listen together.
Wang Xiaoshan rarely discusses fossils with a group of experts. These staff members all want to hear the experts' opinions on this fossil.
At first, many staff gathered around to listen to the discussion between Wang Xiaoshan and experts. After listening for a while, everyone dispersed. The conversation was too professional and difficult to understand.
These staff members still have work to do, and they cannot keep chatting with Wang Xiaoshan like old experts.
The staff member who had just viewed the giant ant fossil returned to the mountain and began to tell others about the fossils dug out by Wang Xiaoshan.
A few minutes after finishing the lecture, another wave of people came down from the mountain to look at the fossil staff.
The fossils Wang Xiaoshan excavates every time are very attractive, and almost everyone will watch them when he excavates them.
At this time, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing were already worried to death. Before they finished writing the trilobite, the giant ant came again.
The two girls did not go for a walk in the barren mountains this afternoon, and spent most of the time in the camp writing manuscripts.
Cao Bingbing admired Wang Xiaoshan's ability to dig fossils so much. She felt that if Wang Xiaoshan didn't broadcast live, he could dig out two fossils a day.
Just now, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing were very happy when they heard Wang Xiaoshan say that he would not continue digging today. If Wang Xiaoshan continued digging, they would cry.
After writing the content about trilobites, the two of them asked Wang Xiaoshan to tell them about the content about giant ants.
There is very little content on the Internet about giant ants, and there is not much to learn from. Fossils that appear rarely must be reported.
When Wang Xiaoshan was discussing with veteran experts just now, both girls recorded the audio. They didn't know if it could be used. Anyway, they recorded it first and listened to it slowly when they went back in the evening.
Wang Xiaoshan chatted with some old experts at the camp for a while and then went for a walk in the mountains. He was not going to continue digging for fossils, so he took the audience for a walk in the mountains as the live broadcast was about to end.
The staff in other pits are still working overtime to dig out fossils. There were quite a few fossils unearthed in the barren mountains today, which also aroused the enthusiasm of the staff.
The staff all want to dig out the fossils as quickly as possible, and no one wants to fall behind.
When Wang Xiaoshan was walking around, he found that there were several pits with fossils that should be dug out later today. Some pits were quite overhanging and it took them only four or five meters to dig out fossils.
