After Wang Xiaoshan said that, he went off the air and let the audience see the fossils in the fish belly tomorrow. I happened to see one today and one tomorrow.
The staff arranged by Captain Shi cleaned up very quickly. Usually the audience in the live broadcast room saw the fossil first, but today it was a rare occasion for them to see it first.
Wang Xiaoshan went straight down the mountain after he came out of the pit. Today he only let the audience see the pit he dug, and he didn't even have time to show the other pits.
When going down the mountain, Wang Xiaoshan went around each pit to see what was dug out in other pits today.
Some of the fossils under other pits are okay, but of course they are far inferior to those excavated by Wang Xiaoshan.
All the small fossils excavated from other pits will be transported away later, so the audience will not be able to see them this time.
There are several relatively large fossils near the whale pit, but they cannot be transported away for the time being. Wang Xiaoshan can show them to the audience tomorrow.
When Wang Xiaoshan returned to the camp, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing were both writing manuscripts.
In the afternoon, after seeing the complete picture of the fossil, the two reporters ran back to write the article. Today's fossil was so amazing that they had to write the article as soon as possible.
Fortunately, we did not clean out the fish from the belly of the swordfish today. If both fish were cleaned out, the two reporters would be busy at night.
Wang Xiaoshan looked at Li Miaomiao and said, "How long do you want?"
Li Miaomiao looked at her watch and said, "I'll take a few photos and then I'll be back."
After saying that, Li Miaomiao ran out. She wanted to take some photos of the fossils excavated from other pits. She didn't need to introduce the fossils in other pits in detail, just put a few pictures in the article.
You can find information on the swordfish dug up by Wang Xiaoshan today online. Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing can go back and write the manuscript at night. If you don't understand, you can check it online.
In ancient times, the ocean was very large and fish could swim everywhere. Archerfish often traveled great distances to hunt for food. As a result, fossils of archerfish have been found in many places around the world.
However, complete Swordfish fossils are very rare, and fish-within-a-fish such as those excavated by Wang Xiaoshan are even rarer.
After Li Miaomiao took pictures of the fossils excavated from other pits, she went to the mountains to take a photo of the swordfish. The staff in the pit were busy, so she just took a panoramic photo at the edge of the pit.
Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing are journalists who need to include photos of fossils in their evening reports.
Wang Xiaoshan did not take pictures this time. The fossils had not been completely cleaned yet. He had no intention of uploading them to a blog. He always waited for the fossils to be completely cleaned before uploading.
After Li Miaomiao finished her work, she went back to the hotel with Wang Xiaoshan. She was still busy writing a manuscript when she got back.
Before leaving, Cao Bingbing asked what time Wang Xiaoshan would come to Barren Mountain tomorrow. The fish in her stomach was the highlight of tomorrow, and she wanted to come early to look at the fossils in the pit.
When Wang Xiaoshan was in the barren mountain, the two reporters could go to the pit to observe the fossils. When he was away, the two reporters could only look at the pit.
The two reporters didn't understand anything and just stared at each other when they went down. For Wang Xiaoshan's sake, Captain Shi let the reporters go down.
After returning to the hotel, the two of them had a simple dinner and then went back to the room to do their own business.
There is information on the Jianshenyu unearthed today online, so the two reporters don’t have to ask Wang Xiaoshan to explain it to them.
Wang Xiaoshan thought he could have a good rest today, but the experts who had come to Barren Mountain before were all sending him messages.
These experts are very interested in the fish in the belly of the swordfish. They want to know what the relationship between the fish in the belly of the swordfish and the swordfish is.
Today, these experts watched Wang Xiaoshan's live broadcast during the day, but the fish fossils in the belly of the swordfish were not cleaned, and the experts could not tell what kind of fish it was.
Experts all wanted to get some information from Wang Xiaoshan's mouth, but Wang Xiaoshan's tone was very strict. Anyone who asked Wang Xiaoshan, the fish in the belly of the fish, said he didn't know.
Before Wang Xiaoshan left, he told Captain Shi that after cleaning and digging out the fish from the belly of the swordfish, the staff would not be allowed to take pictures for the time being. He wanted to take pictures tomorrow.
Wang Xiaoshan doesn't want to leak the secret in advance. Once the secret is leaked, the number of viewers watching the live broadcast tomorrow will plummet.
In the evening, Wang Xiaoshan wasted a lot of time just dealing with these experts. By the time his cell phone went off, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.
...
Early the next morning, Wang Xiaoshan and Li Miaomiao arrived at Huangshan before eight o'clock.
After the article by Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing was posted last night, it immediately became a hot search topic.
The article they wrote only covered the content of the sword-shooting fish. They both mentioned the fish in the belly of the sword-shooting fish. The fish was not cleaned out and they did not know what kind of fish it was.
However, the news that other fish fossils were found in the belly of the lightsaber fish was enough to shock the entire fossil community and online readers.
The news about the Swordfish fossil has already hit the hot search topics, and there will definitely be more media coming in the morning than before. This is why Wang Xiaoshan and Li Miaomiao came early.
When Wang Xiaoshan and Li Miaomiao arrived at Barren Mountain, Captain Shi and the staff had not arrived yet, and there were only a few night shift staff in the camp.
Wang Xiaoshan took the tools and took Li Miaomiao up the mountain. While there was no one around, they could look at the fossils in advance and take some photos.
When Wang Xiaoshan came to the pit, the entire swordfish had been cleaned up, and the fish in its belly had also been cleaned out.
Wang Xiaoshan took an engineering shovel and dug up one side of the fossil. The fossil slab was 30 centimeters thick. He estimated that the fossil would not be transported today.
The swordfish excavated by Wang Xiaoshan is more than 4 meters long, and the entire fossil slab is more than five meters long. It is not easy to move such a large fossil slab out of the pit in its entirety.
Wang Xiaoshan and Li Miaomiao looked at the fossils in the pit for a while. Cao Bingbing, Captain Shi and the staff all came.
Wang Xiaoshan hasn't opened the lottery yet, and the staff at Huangshan are all busy with their own affairs. They had already seen the fossils yesterday afternoon.
Now the staff just want to hear Wang Xiaoshan talk about the fish in the belly of the swordfish.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The live broadcast time has not yet come, Wang Xiaoshan cannot talk about fossils, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing had to go and study it themselves after taking the photos.
At about half past eight, three people responsible for transporting fossils arrived. These people went down to the pit to measure the size and thickness of the fossils, and then left.
The fossil is too big and must be fully prepared. The fossil is now complete in the pit. If an accident occurs during transportation, it will not be fun.
After the staff responsible for transporting the fossils left, Captain Shi ran into the pit after a while.
Captain Shi: "Old Wang, the fossils you dug up this time should be kept with you for a few more days. They are not easy to transport. The person responsible for transporting them has gone back to come up with a plan."
Wang Xiaoshan had already thought of this result. He said: "If you leave it for a few more days, you can see more."
The live broadcast hasn't started yet. Captain Shi was chatting with Wang Xiaoshan in the pit about the fossils excavated from other pits after he left yesterday afternoon.
Captain Shi also asked Wang Xiaoshan to mark several places in the mountain that could be dug.
Now the fossils excavated from the barren mountains are getting more and more amazing. Director Wei sent more than ten people to Captain Shi today to dig out the fossils.
After marking the time, Wang Xiaoshan went to live broadcast. The newcomers who were transferred did not need his guidance. He only had to mark the places that needed to be dug.
Apart from digging holes and marking points, Wang Xiaoshan didn't need to take care of other things in the barren mountains. He was relatively relaxed every day.
When the time came, Wang Xiaoshan started the live broadcast on time.
"Dear viewers of the live broadcast room, good morning."
"I am now standing on the edge of the pit of the Swordfish fossil. I will let everyone see the overall appearance of the fossil first. We will go to the bottom of the pit to look at the details later."
Wang Xiaoshan took the camera to the edge of the pit to let the audience see the panoramic view. This time he did not use a drone, and it was very troublesome to switch back and forth.
Let the audience take a rough look at it first, and then let the audience see it from the drone's bird's eye view later when he is digging for fossils.
After watching it on the edge of the pit, Wang Xiaoshan took the camera and went to the pit.
He took the camera and shot the fish from head to tail with his sword, allowing the audience to take a closer look.
Wang Xiaoshan highlighted the fish in the belly of the sword-shooting fish and asked the audience to take a look. Eighty percent of the audience who came today came to see the fish in the belly.
[It looks great after being cleaned. This fish is not only big, but also has an unusual number of spines. It seems that this fish is not a cartilaginous fish, but a bony fish.]
[I just looked at the fish in my stomach for a long time and didn’t understand it. The fish has turned into a fossil, and it’s hard to tell what kind of fish is in my stomach.]
[I just discovered that the head of the fish in the belly of the swordfish seems to be injured. I feel that the fish in the belly should be the prey of the swordfish.]
[The fossils have been preserved for so many years. Who knows whether those injuries were there at the beginning or acquired? You can’t tell the relationship between the two fish just by looking at the injuries!]
[Lao Wang, please tell us about the relationship between these two fishes. We really can’t tell. There are so many fish bones that my eyes are dazzled.]
The fossil has been cleaned up, but the fish in the belly of the swordfish is still not very clear to the audience.
There are many spines on the fish tail, and since it has been buried for so many years, there will be some missing parts on the fish fossil. The audience cannot judge the relationship between the two with the naked eye.
Some viewers said that there were injuries on the fish when they saw it in its belly. Some viewers thought that those were not injuries, but were caused by the compression of the formed fossils.
After watching the fish in the belly of the swordfish, many viewers felt that the fish in the belly was somewhat similar to the swordfish.
In the audience's mind, the only way to distinguish the relationship between two kinds of fish is because they look different. The audience can't do it in any other way.
On the other hand, there were many viewers in the live broadcast room, and everyone was expressing their own opinions.
"Let me tell you something, the fish in the belly of the Swordfish fossil is not a Swordfish, but an ancient fish called a branchial gland fish."
"The branchial gland fish and the sword archer belong to the same family. The branchial gland fish is not as big as the sword archer. Its maximum size is only about two meters."
"Branchial gland fish feed on small fish and plankton. They belong to the lower fish in the food chain. They often become prey of large predators."
"Everyone thinks that the branchial gland fish and the swordfish look similar because they belong to the same family, and they both look a bit like today's tarpon."
Wang Xiaoshan first told the audience about the relationship between the two fishes. The audience was already quarreling in the live broadcast room. If he didn't talk about the relationship between the two fishes, the audience would start fighting in the live broadcast room.
[It turns out that the relationship between the two is the hunter and the prey, which is really exciting. I thought they were mother and son!]
[It’s true that big fish eat small fish, a four-meter fish eats a two-meter fish, and the swordfish’s belly is so big that it can actually hold a two-meter-long fish.]
[No wonder I thought the two fish looked alike just now. They are both from the same family. Only a master like Lao Wang can tell that and let us see that the two fish look the same. 】
[The swordfish has such sharp teeth, why doesn’t it bite the branchial fish into several sections? How to eat it raw?]
[It’s really puzzling to have a pair of good teeth but like to eat raw. Doesn’t the sword archer like to chew food? Why does it feel a bit like a python, swallowing its prey alive? 】
After Wang Xiaoshan gave his answer, many viewers suddenly realized that the audience would have been confused even if he didn't explain it. After he explained it, everyone finally understood the relationship between the two fishes.
This is Wang Xiaoshan. If others were to look at it, they might not be able to see the relationship between the two fishes.
There are many experts in the live broadcast room now, and there is really no one who can tell the relationship between the two fishes. After listening to Wang Xiaoshan’s words, many experts realized that the fish in the belly is called branchial gland fish.
After knowing the relationship, there is another question that is difficult for the audience to understand: the swordfish has such powerful teeth, why doesn't it chew up its prey?
In the memory of the audience, eating prey alive seems to be the only way for pythons to eat animals. Other animals tear their prey into pieces and eat the meat.
Swallowing dates whole is suitable for animals with bad teeth. Eating meat directly with good teeth will be more exciting. Swallowing jujube increases the weight in the stomach and makes digestion slow.
It would be okay if the small fish were swallowed alive, but swallowing a big fish of 1.8 meters alive would be really hard to understand. The cool operation of shooting fish with a sword is really hard for people to understand.
"Although the teeth of the swordfish are so powerful, the swordfish likes to bite its prey with its sharp teeth and swallow the prey whole."
"This also causes fish such as swordfish to often choke on their food."
"The swordfish we saw this time died shortly after swallowing Lei Wu."
"The branchial gland fish was too big, and it kept struggling when swallowing, and finally destroyed the internal organs of the swordfish, which led to the death of the swordfish."
"This is the result of the swordfish's gluttony. If it had not eaten such a big fish, it might not have had such an accident."
"Death from internal injuries is extremely rare."
[The hobby of shooting fish with swords to seek death is really interesting. You can’t eat meat well if you have teeth. If you insist on eating it raw, you will really become a big eater.]
[It’s okay to swallow small fish alive, but it’s a bit greedy to swallow a fish that’s 1.8 meters alive. Big fish have a strong vitality and are hard to die. It’s weird if they don’t die if they’re swallowed alive.]
[Really greed is worse than a snake swallowing an elephant. Wouldn't it be better to eat some small fish? If you insist on eating such a big one, you will kill yourself! 】
[What the branchial gland fish must have been thinking at that time was, if I can’t beat you, I will torture you to death and make you eat me. If you want to die, we will all die together!]
