After a while, many staff members were standing beside the pit dug by Wang Xiaoshan, and some staff members ran to the bottom of the pit.
This time Wang Xiaoshan only dug out part of the fossil. The effect when going down the pit was not good, but the effect was very good when viewed in the live broadcast room.
"Everyone, go to the live broadcast room and watch, you can't see clearly even if you are standing around."
There were too many people watching, and Wang Xiaoshan quickly advised everyone to disperse.
The staff was very cooperative with Wang Xiaoshan, and after a while they dispersed to watch the live broadcast.
Wang Xiaoshan took the camera and let the audience in the live broadcast room look at the fossils he dug up for a while. The fossils were not all dug out yet, so the audience was interested and he had to let everyone watch for a while.
After showing the audience, Wang Xiaoshan continued digging. After digging for fossils, his speed slowed down a lot.
After digging for a while, Wang Xiaoshan discovered that the stone slabs in the pit were a bit large. If he wanted to move the entire slab out, he would have to expand the pit.
Wang Xiaoshan dug into the pit to see how big the stone slab was. After confirming the size, he called Captain Shi.
Wang Xiaoshan asked an excavator to expand the pit. Part of the fossil was buried in the soil. Without expansion, the entire fossil could not be seen and could not be moved out.
Wang Xiaoshan took the camera to show the audience the pit, and then said.
"Dear viewers, the pit needs to be expanded now. Without the pit being expanded, you won't be able to see the overall appearance of the fossils, and the fossils won't be able to be moved out."
[I thought I would be able to see the fossils in the pit earlier today, but it seems that it is not possible. Lao Wang will ask the excavator to come up and let them dig faster! 】
[Why do we need to expand the pit? When will we be able to see the fossils in the pit? I really want to see if they are lotus pods.]
[It seems that the fossils Lao Wang dug out this time are a bit large. If they are small fossils, the pit will not expand. Lao Wang, can you tell what is being dug up this time? 】
[Old Wang first let us take a look at the fossils you have dug out. I want to see what is underneath that thing that looks like a lotus pod.]
[Dig, dig, dig, the excavator will be faster and you can expand the hole in a while!]
The audience's interest was piqued just now, and now the pit is about to be expanded. For a while, the audience will not be able to see the full picture of the fossil, and they are a little anxious.
The audience urged Wang Xiaoshan to get the machinery up quickly and dig early.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will dig out the fossils after I finish expanding the pit and show them to everyone!"
Wang Xiaoshan did not dig out all the fossils in the pit. Now there is a lot of soil on the fossils. It is too troublesome for the audience to see that he has to clean it up.
It would be better to wait until the fossils are completely excavated, then let the audience see them, and then just clean up the soil.
After waiting for a while, Captain Shi came over from the camp, bringing an excavator with him.
Wang Xiaoshan told the excavator where he needed to dig, and then walked away.
The hole that needs to be dug this time is not particularly big, and an excavator is enough.
Nothing was dug out of other pits yet, so Wang Xiaoshan did not take the audience to visit other pits. He let the drone fly into the air to let the audience see the excavator digging the pits.
At this time, Li Miaomiao and Cao Bingbing were waiting anxiously. They couldn't write the manuscript until the fossil was dug out. If they didn't write the manuscript early, they wouldn't have time to watch the drama in the evening.
This time, the pit Wang Xiaoshan dug was not very deep, and the area to be dug was not very large. The excavator dug it for more than half an hour.
After the excavator finished digging, Wang Xiaoshan went to the pit and continued digging. He first dug the edge of the stone slab to see if it was thick.
This stone slab with fossils is only about ten centimeters thick, not particularly thick. Wang Xiaoshan was careful when digging, for fear of breaking the slab.
When Wang Xiaoshan was excavating, he still used the bird's-eye view of the drone to let the audience see what was going on inside the pit. At this time, he had no time to chat with the audience, so the audience could only watch him dig the soil first.
[Lao Wang is digging so slowly today. Dig faster. When will the fossils be completely dug out at such a slow pace? Lao Wang, speed up! 】
[This kind of fossils on the stone slab are difficult to dig. The stone slab can easily break if you are not careful. You must be careful when digging, and go slowly and safely.]
[Slow down, just slow down. Lao Wang is still very reliable in digging things. There must be a reason to be slow. Lao Wang will tell us why we are slow in a while. 】
[This is easy to understand. If the stone slab is too big and too thin, it will break easily. This is common sense. Don’t worry about the speed. You will definitely see the fossils before the live broadcast ends! 】
[It’s still early, don’t worry, Lao Wang can finish this thing in an hour. Speed doesn’t matter, as long as the fossils are powerful! 】
Some viewers think Wang Xiaoshan digs slowly, but of course Wang Xiaoshan digs slowly for a reason.
Wang Xiaoshan estimated that this slate was nearly three meters long and about two meters wide. The slate was quite large, and it would not be easy for him to dig it out and transport it out.
Wang Xiaoshan started digging from the edge of the stone slab. When he first dug, there were no fossils on the stone slab. It took him a while to dig out the fossils on the stone slab.
This time the pit has expanded, and some staff members have gone to the edge of the pit to have a look. Now the live effect at the edge of the pit is better than in the live broadcast.
The staff on site were very close to the bottom of the pit, and the drone was flying high. The audience could only see Wang Xiaoshan digging in the soil, but could not see what the fossil looked like specifically.
The fossils had just been excavated, and whether you were standing under the pit or on the edge of the pit, you couldn't tell what kind of fossil Wang Xiaoshan had dug up this time.
Wang Xiaoshan doesn't clean up the fossils very much every time he digs them. Basically, the staff cleans the fossils for him every time. The staff at the pit can only see the black part on the stone slab, but cannot see the whole picture.
The fossil this time was not big. Wang Xiaoshan dug out the entire fossil in nearly an hour.
After digging out the fossils, he checked other parts of the slate and made sure there were no other fossils on the slate before asking Captain Shi to send workers down to the pit to clean it up.
In order to clean up the fossils faster, Captain Shi sent two staff members to clean them up.
This time the fossils were on the stone slab, so it was easier to clean. Two people could quickly clear out the fossils by cleaning from two directions.
During the cleanup, Wang Xiaoshan took the camera to let the audience see the situation in the pit.
"Dear viewers, I have dug out the fossils and am now cleaning the soil on them. You will be able to see what the fossils look like in a while."
[Lao Wang’s two staff members are a bit short. Let’s hire two more. This way the cleaning speed will be faster, and you can go back to rest earlier. 】
[The fossil this time doesn’t seem to be particularly big. The fossil is rectangular. It seems to be a small animal in the ocean!]
[I can only see the dark stuff on the fossil, but I can’t see what it is specifically. Why is that lotus pod missing just now!]
[Wait a minute, there is too much soil on the fossil, and it is impossible to see what kind of fossil it is unless it is cleaned up. What it looks like may not be a fish, but it may also be a plant rhizome. 】
[Plants are difficult to preserve. I think they are not plants, but animals, some kind of fish or reptiles!]
The audience can't see clearly from the drone's perspective. Now Wang Xiaoshan is holding the camera to let the audience see. Although there is soil on the fossil, a general outline can be seen.
After waiting for such a long time, the audience finally saw the fossil. After seeing the rough outline, the audience began to make blind guesses.
It can be seen from the outline of the fossil this time that the fossil is long and strip-shaped, and it does not look like a large animal on land at all.
Instead, they are a bit like fish in the ocean and reptiles on land.
For a while, the discussion among the audience was in full swing, and the staff surrounding the pit were also discussing. Everyone was guessing what Wang Xiaoshan dug out.
The audience was anxious to see what the fossil looked like. The main reason was that Wang Xiaoshan had shown everyone something that looked like a lotus pod. Everyone found it strange and wanted to see what the fossil looked like as a whole.
Wang Xiaoshan did not participate in the discussion. He stood aside with a camera and waited for the staff to clean away all the soil from the fossils.
Some anxious staff members have applied to Captain Shi to come and participate in the cleanup work, but the fossils are not very big and do not require so many people.
As the fossils were being cleared out bit by bit, many people had already figured out what kind of animal Wang Xiaoshan dug out in the pit this time.
[Wow, what Lao Wang dug out this time was a fish. I saw the fish’s tail. It can’t be a plant. Plants are difficult to maintain! 】
[What kind of fish did Lao Wang dig? There is something like a showerhead growing on his body. Is that showerhead the fish’s vent? 】
[If the air outlet is as long as the showerhead, it will be fun when spraying water!]
[Maybe these are two different fossils. One fossil is a fish fossil, and the other is a lotus pod fossil. The two fossils are just close to each other. 】
[The fossils excavated by Lao Wang are really incomprehensible. They look like animals, but they don’t look like animals at the same time!]
After the fish tail was cleaned, the audience and the staff at the pit all knew that the fossils Wang Xiaoshan dug up this time were related to fish.
The audience thought that the thing that looked like a lotus pod and a nozzle might be part of a fish, or it might actually be a lotus pod.
Fish and lotus pods both grow in water, so there is a possibility that they both became fossils at the same time.
With only a fish tail, it is impossible to tell whether the fish is a saltwater fish or a freshwater fish. I can only confirm that it is a fish.
After the fish tail was cleaned out, the fins were also cleaned out after a while, but the part that should have been the fish head turned out to be a dark piece.
This confused everyone. Is this black thing a fish head? Or something else, no one knew.
The cleaning work lasted for nearly an hour, and all the fossils in the pit were removed.
Wang Xiaoshan took the camera to let the audience take a closer look at the fossil. This fossil is very distinctive. He focused on letting the audience look at the lotus pod-like part.
"Dear viewers, this is the fossil I just dug out at the bottom of the pit. Now all the fossils have been cleaned up!"
[I can now confirm that Lao Wang dug out a fish. I can’t guess whether the lotus pods on the fish’s body are from fish!]
[What is the dark place in front of the fish's body? It's not the head of the fish. The body of the fish is just connected to this part. It's the head of the fish. I can't even find the eyes!]
[Isn’t there a kind of sucker fish in modern times? I think the part that looks like a lotus pod may be a sucker that is specially attached to the belly of other fish. 】
[No way, the fish Lao Wang dug is more than one meter long. Does such a long fish have to be sucked by others or by others? 】
[Stop guessing, Lao Wang, tell us first, is that thing that looks like a lotus pod the same as the fish? 】
The audience now has two questions. One is the part of the fish head that should be connected to the fish body. That dark piece does not look like a fish head.
Another question is whether the thing that looks like a lotus pod is part of the fish's body.
Many viewers thought that the lotus-like thing should be the sucker of a fish. Sucker fish exist in modern times, but the suckers of that kind of fish are flat. The fish suckers on fossils protrude a lot like lotus pods.
However, there are many objections. The main reason is that the fish is at least one meter long from the live broadcast footage. The fish is a bit long and it is difficult to say who sucks whom.
"Let me tell you first, the dark part connected to the body of the fish is the head, but it was not well preserved and now it is so dark that you can't even see it."
"And the lotus-like thing you mentioned is part of the body of a fish. This fish has become extinct. There is no such fish in the modern ocean."
After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaoshan took the camera and showed the audience the area where the lotus-like object was in contact with the fish's body.
The connected part is not well preserved. It can only be vaguely seen that the two are connected together. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell at all.
Wang Xiaoshan also asked the audience to take a look at the connection between the fish head and the fish body. Although it was dark and did not look like a head, it was actually the head of the fish.
[Other animals have horns on their heads, but this fish has horns near its head. This fish is quite interesting. It would be great if it were not extinct. 】
[The fish Lao Wang dug out today is really unique. Is that lotus-like thing used to attract small fish or seabirds? 】
[That lotus-like thing should have a special purpose. In ancient times, competition was so fierce that it was very unlikely that a useless thing would grow on your body. ]
[Lao Wang, please tell us what the lotus pods on the body of this fish are used for. Is it a suction cup or does it have other uses? 】
[The ancient creatures were really weird-looking, and none of them looked normal. If it weren’t for the fossils, I would have suspected that these animals were alien creatures.]
Now the audience has confirmed that there is indeed something like a lotus pod growing out of the fossil fish. What is the specific use of this thing? We still don’t know yet.
The staff surrounding the pit could hear what Wang Xiaoshan said. When they heard that the entire fossil was one piece, they all wanted to come down to the pit to have a look.
Captain Shi is now standing next to the pit dug by Wang Xiaoshan. The staff cannot get down at all and can only watch the live broadcast if they want to watch.
In fact, watching the live broadcast is better than watching it live. There are too many on-site workers, and if they all come down, they can’t see the details on the fossils at all.
Wang Xiaoshan held the camera for everyone to see. At least everyone could see clearly and there was no need to squeeze around.
When Captain Shi saw the fish at the bottom of the pit just now, he felt that the fish was unusual, so he didn't leave in a hurry. As soon as he left, all the staff ran down to the pit.
