Half an hour later, the fossil was finally moved out of the pit. The staff surrounding the pit were so excited that they all gathered around to see what kind of fossil it was.
Captain Shi immediately stopped the crowd of onlookers. A group of people crowded around and could easily hit the staff carrying the fossil.
The audience in the live broadcast room was also very excited and wanted Wang Xiaoshan to quickly take the camera to show them what kind of animals and plants are on this fossil slab!
However, Wang Xiaoshan was not in a hurry to go there. There was dirt on the fossil slab and it needed to be cleaned up to see clearly. Now the audience can't see clearly what is on it.
Besides, the audience has been waiting for such a long time, so it’s not too late.
On the way back to move the fossils, Captain Shi asked many people to go back to work. What was the reason for the noisy group of people following him down the mountain?
The workers who were taking a break went to see if it was okay, but the workers who were digging were not able to join in the fun.
The truck transporting fossils has left today. The fossils Wang Xiaoshan excavated this time will not be transported away today. The staff at Huangshan have time to look at them.
If you didn’t enjoy watching it today, you can continue watching it tomorrow, but you can’t stop working. Captain Shi is the head of all the staff, and he is very easy to talk.
After the fossils were transported to the camp, Captain Shi arranged for the staff to start cleaning the soil on them.
In order to clean up the fossils faster, Captain Shi specially arranged for two staff members to clean up, one person cleaning each side.
While cleaning, Wang Xiaoshan put the camera aside and went to rest. The staff cleaned the fossils very carefully and could not finish it in less than half an hour.
Wang Xiaoshan looked at Li Miaomiao who was standing aside watching the staff cleaning the fossils and said: "Stop reading and write your manuscript quickly. It will take a while."
Li Miaomiao: "Oh oh oh."
Li Miaomiao, like everyone else, was so anxious to know what kind of fossil it was that she forgot to write a manuscript while standing aside.
After regaining consciousness, Li Miaomiao hurriedly started writing. The fossils had been dug out, and she could start writing the manuscript. She would start with the beginning and add other contents later.
The audience in the live broadcast room was already anxious.
[It took a long time to move it out of the mountains, and now it takes a long time to clean it up. Can these staff work faster? 】
[The flowers I've been waiting for have all faded. Lao Wang, don't let them clean it up. You can do it yourself. Although you can't clean it cleanly, you can do it quickly! 】
[We don’t need to see so clearly, just a rough look is enough. Lao Wang just asked the staff to use a brush to brush roughly. 】
[Lao Wang digs holes very quickly, but these workers are not good enough. Moving fossil slabs and cleaning fossils are also slow. Slowly, slowly, can you move faster? 】
[Just wait, it’s been a whole day anyway, so it won’t be long. Let’s take a cigarette and rest for a while and the fossils will be cleaned up. 】
The audience was extremely anxious and sent comments asking the staff to dig out quickly. However, the staff who were cleaning the fossils at this time had no idea what the audience wanted.
The audience asked Wang Xiaoshan to clean it up. Although he didn't clean it very clean every time, he was quick and could roughly see what the fossils were after.
But the audience really couldn't stand the speed of the staff. The audience was anxious to wait, but the staff cleaned up very carefully.
The audience's suggestion of casual sweeping will never happen. These staff either don't clean up, or they will clean it up if they want to.
If it is not cleaned up the first time, it will have to be reworked a second time. No one is willing to do the rework, so the staff cleans up very cleanly.
But the audience just wants to see the appearance of the fossil, and it doesn't matter to them whether it's done cleanly or not, as long as they can roughly see it clearly.
Some spectators who are open-minded don't rush at all. Anyway, it's not short of such a long time after waiting all day long. If you wait a little longer, just wait a little longer.
I couldn't get off work after seeing the fossils excavated by Wang Xiaoshan, so I might as well wait for the staff to clean them up before looking at them again.
Wang Xiaoshan did not see the demands that the audience had just posted. He was resting aside at this time and did not watch the live broadcast.
Most of the people who were watching the cleanup site were workers from the barren mountains. These resting workers happened to be looking at the fossils at the camp when they had nothing to do.
Captain Shi insisted that Wang Xiaoshan did not need to take care of anything. Wang Xiaoshan only had to wait for the fossils to be cleaned and take the camera to let the audience see it.
If Wang Xiaoshan still wants to keep an eye on others when he is asked to clean it up, Captain Shi will help him keep an eye on it in the barren mountain.
Cao Bingbing: "Old Wang, can we dig slower in the future? You dig too fast and I can hardly finish the manuscript."
Wang Xiaoshan couldn't laugh or cry: "It's still so slow. I only dig out one fossil a day, so I can't go any slower."
"When you write a manuscript, you should pick and choose. Don't write everything. Just write the key points and brush off the unimportant ones."
Cao Bingbing thought about it. Wang Xiaoshan only excavated one fossil a day, and the number was not large. The reason why there were so many fossils was because there were more workers digging fossils in the barren mountains.
Cao Bingbing: "Okay, I was wrong. You should dig normally."
Regarding writing about key points, Cao Bingbing did this, but there were so many key fossils dug out every day that she had to report them.
Wang Xiaoshan is well-informed and thinks that some fossils are very common and can be reported or not. But Cao Bingbing cannot do this. Cao Bingbing faces readers all over the country, from all levels.
Wang Xiaoshan: "It's good to write in the camp. The wind and sun in the mountains are not good for your skin. If you want to go to the mountains, we can change!"
Cao Bingbing waved her hands hurriedly: "Forget it, I'll just write the manuscript."
Not everyone can do Wang Xiaoshan's job. Even if you know where there are fossils, it's all in vain if you can't dig them out.
The staff cleaned up for about forty minutes and finally removed the fossils.
The staff who gathered around were waiting for Wang Xiaoshan to explain to everyone. These staff who were watching saw the fossils for the first time.
But these staff members don't know what kind of ancient creature is on the fossil board, and they are all waiting for Wang Xiaoshan to announce the answer.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When Wang Xiaoshan passed by, the onlookers stepped back collectively and gave up their positions to him.
Wang Xiaoshan first took the camera to show the audience the fossils excavated this time.
"Dear viewers, this is the fossil I dug out of the pit just now. Now that the fossil has been cleaned, you can take a closer look."
[The fossil that I have been thinking about for a long time has finally been cleared out. My heart is broken waiting for it. Lao Wang, please tell us what this is. 】
[The head of this fossil looks similar to that of an alien. Lao Wang, what you dug out is not an alien fossil, right? It’s a bit scary. 】
[What Lao Wang dug out this time should be a plant. It looks a bit like a flower, but the head is a bit scary. 】
[After guessing it for so long, it turned out to be a plant. I thought it was an animal. The stem of this plant is really long.]
[If it is a plant, why does this plant have no leaves? It only has a stem and a head. Is this abnormal? 】
The audience was very happy after seeing the fossil, and it was finally here after waiting for such a long time.
But the audience was a little confused after seeing the fossil. The head of the fossil looked a bit like the alien in the movie when it was little.
Audiences who observed carefully felt that it looked like an alien but not an alien. This fossil looked particularly like a flower, but the flower had turned into a fossil, which looked a bit strange.
This fossil is composed of two parts, the head and the body. The body is the "pipe"-like thing that Wang Xiaoshan showed everyone in the pit just now.
The tube looks like the stem of a plant, and the part that looks a bit like a strange shape should be the flower of the plant. Many viewers definitely posted comments saying that the fossil this time is a plant.
Of course, there are objections. This plant has no leaves, and the part of the fossil that looks like a "tube" is bare and has nothing on it.
If there were leaves on it there would be traces, but there are no traces on the fossils.
This is where the audience disagrees. There is a fierce debate in the live broadcast room about whether it is a plant or not.
"Let me tell you first, what I dug up this time is an animal, not a plant. This animal looks like a flower, but it is indeed an animal."
Wang Xiaoshan just said this, and everyone on the scene was shocked. The staff on the scene could see it more clearly than the audience.
Before Wang Xiaoshan said anything, these workers were very sure that what he dug up this time was a plant, and the appearance of the plant was very obvious.
The staff waited for Wang Xiaoshan to introduce it mainly because they wanted to know the name of this ancient plant.
What the staff didn't expect was that this thing that looked very much like a plant was actually an animal.
Not only the staff were shocked, but the audience in the live broadcast room was also shocked. The words "animals fuck" immediately stunned everyone.
[Nani? Is this an animal? This thing doesn’t look like an animal in any way. It has plant stems and flowers growing on the stems. It’s a labeled plant. 】
[There is such a magical animal. Lao Wang, please tell us the name of this animal so that I can learn more about it. 】
[It’s the first time I saw this kind of animal that doesn’t look like an animal. It’s really amazing. It’s worth waiting so long today. This fossil is worth waiting for so long.]
[Lao Wang, please tell us why they are animals and not plants. Now I don’t want to see the fossils anymore. I just want to listen to Lao Wang’s explanation! 】
[Lao Wang continues to speak, don’t stop, we want to hear, we want to hear very much!]
The audience never imagined that something that looks very similar to a plant could actually be an animal. They couldn't figure it out. Everyone couldn't figure it out.
The audience now just wants Wang Xiaoshan to tell them why the plant-like animal on this fossil is an animal.
The audience believes that since Wang Xiaoshan said it is an animal, he must have a reason and he will not just talk nonsense.
All the audience began to urge Wang Xiaoshan to talk about this fossil quickly. We can look at the fossil later and talk about it first.
"Let me tell you first, the animal on this fossil is called a sea lily. It is a marine animal that is older than the dinosaurs."
"Crinoids are echinoderms that live in the sea. They have multiple arms and legs, a flower-shaped body, and a calcareous shell on the surface."
"Because they look like plants, people gave them the name crinoid."
"Crinoids have the nervous system, intestinal system and other characteristics of animals, so they are animals, but they don't look like animals."
"Crinoid spends its entire life rooted in the seabed. It cannot walk. People think the flower-like part is its calyx and wrist, and the tube-like part is its stem."
"When hunting for prey, crinoids hold their flower-like parts high in the air, waiting for plankton to take the bait automatically. They are a wait-and-see type."
Wang Xiaoshan gave a brief introduction to the audience, and the audience finally knew about this magical animal. Today, the audience's eyes were opened.
[This animal is really awesome. It is rooted on the bottom of the sea and waits for food to be delivered to your door. It looks like a flower and will definitely attract many small animals. 】
[This method of hunting is only suitable for the bottom of the sea. It is finished on land. Herbivores see this flower-like thing and eat it in one bite. 】
[It grows the same everywhere. There are also animals that eat plants in the sea, and there are quite a few of them. There must be something special about sea lilies, or they would have been eaten by animals long ago. 】
[The crinoids swaying with the water in the sea must be very beautiful, like little elves. Ancient animals are so special! 】
[Fortunately, Lao Wang introduced it, otherwise we all thought it was a plant. Hey, we need to learn more from Lao Wang in the future, otherwise we wouldn’t even be able to distinguish plants. 】
Crinoids have a somewhat special way of catching prey. They lay out a prey net and wait for the prey to take the bait.
Some viewers also wonder whether this magical animal is suitable for living on land. There are many herbivores on land, and such beautiful "flowers" must be very popular.
The sea lily was chosen to be in the sea because the sea is wider and larger than the land, and it can live more comfortably in the sea with its hunting method.
"Crinoids are often ravaged by fish at the bottom of the sea. If they lose part of their 'flowers' and stems, they can regenerate. Their regeneration ability is very strong."
"If a school of fish bites off the stem or eats the 'flower' part, it is completely dead."
The sea also follows the law of the jungle, and crinoid stems are often bitten off in batches. This is unavoidable, and every animal has natural enemies.
In order to survive, crinoids often hide in rock crevices during the day, and then sneak out in groups after the day is over, which is safer.
Crinoids have a very wide distribution range and have been dug up in many places, but some are complete and some are incomplete.
Moreover, there are many types of crinoids, and their appearance is slightly different. Many people remember the appearance of crinoids this time, and may not recognize other crinoids next time they see them.
After Wang Xiaoshan finished speaking, he took the camera and asked the audience to look at the sea lily again. This time he asked the audience to look at it very carefully.
The crinoid fossils he dug out this time are very complete, and the complete fossils have great ornamental and research value.
The audience was also lucky this time to see such a complete crinoid fossil.
When Wang Xiaoshan showed it to everyone, he would also use his fingers to point to the fossils, tell the audience what this is and what that was, and try to make the audience remember the characteristics of crinoids.
