Chapter 15 Chapter Thirteen: Weird and Inexplicable Unearthed Living Creatures

Between Shuanggou and Hongze Lake, the soil in that area is unknown. When the excavation started, it was ordinary soil without any special features. See unseen, unheard.The first is its color, which is almost colorful, red, ocher, purple, and light yellow are all understandable, and there is a large layer of light and bright apple green, which is really an eye-opener. Moreover, the soil is extremely hard, and when a cross pickaxe goes down, only a small shallow pit can be hoeed.But it is obviously soil, not jade or stone. The method used later is to use a needle to make dense small holes first, and wait for the water to seep into the soil to make the part soaked in water soft. It will fall sharply and then be loaded and transported away.

But the problem with this method is that a large amount of rock-hard soil will collapse at some point and become a construction site, with traps everywhere, work-related injuries, and fatal accidents. Naturally, there are many accidents. I've seen it a lot, but I'm used to it, and I'm a little indifferent when I see the whole head being completely deformed. At a depth of about ten meters or less, various things have been excavated. The entire construction site is huge, and it is impossible to know how many things have been excavated, and I don’t know if there are other people on the construction site who are paying attention to those things besides me. What I have seen is only a small part of the situation.First, on the surface of the mud block, there are obvious patterns of aquatic plants, which are really distinct and extremely clear.

Then, all kinds of fossils of animal bones were unearthed, some were broken, some were complete, and they were all huge. One pair of fossils dug up once was really complete, from the beginning to the end, from the exposed part. Look, it is three meters long. If you dig carefully, you can definitely get a very complete set of giant animal fossils for archaeological and scientific research. At that time, because of this discovery, it was inexplicably excited, and immediately ordered a temporary stoppage of work, and carefully removed the soil other than this pair of fossils.However, in less than ten minutes, the team leader arrived in a rage, and tried his best to explain to him that such a complete fossil is rare in the world and of unparalleled value.But the team leader roared angrily: I don’t care if you fossilize or not, I only know that the river needs to be dug. Whoever hinders the progress of the project is opposing the river governance, and whoever is a counter-revolutionary!

To be a human being, one has to be aware of current affairs. If you persist, you might be tied up, so you can only let out a long sigh. Seeing that a hundred shovels were thrown down, the soil and femurs flew together, and the animal head was cursing, and the complete fossil disappeared. Under the emergency rescue, one fist-sized tooth was recovered, which was extremely complete, and two femurs with a length of 50 cm were found, and the rest were mixed in the soil and thrown away. This is the most complete fossil ever found, and it must be the complete fossil of the whole giant beast. As for finding a lot of fragments, when they saw that there were complete ones, they kept them. In less than two months, a large bag was left, which weighed 20 kilograms.

It is not uncommon to find animal fossils underground. Hundreds of thousands or millions of years ago, due to changes in the terrain, many ancient creatures were buried underground. Over time, they naturally turned into fossils.But one day, when a piece of soil collapsed due to water seepage, suddenly there was a loud noise. I happened to be nearby. In that small hole, there is actually a live eel! It was really a field eel. It had been carefully observed, and it was no different from the common ones now, and it was alive. Put it in the water and it could swim.It was incredible.How long has this eel been buried in that little hollow?It is definitely not hundreds of thousands of years or tens of thousands of years, but hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years!How did it survive?There is no water in that small cavity, even if there is air, how can it breathe for millions of years?

After raising it for less than a day, the eel died instead. When it was alive, someone advised me to eat the fish alive, saying that it would be very beneficial, but I didn’t listen, because I wanted to raise it and give it to scientists for research. It’s a pity It died in less than a day, so it couldn't be preserved, so it had to be eaten by someone. I don't know if the person who ate this eel improved his skill for thirty years. This is one of the two most inexplicable strange things I have encountered so far. It is like hearing the sound of newspapers turning in the middle of the night. In the cave, a rice field eel has survived for hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years, which is really incredible!

As for the 20 kilograms of fossils, they took untold hardships to bring them to Shanghai, found a museum on Huqiu Road, and expressed that they would give them to the museum.Unexpectedly, the staff of the museum turned their eyes to the sky, and let out a sneer: hum!We have a lot of this kind of thing here, it's not rare to even look at it!Even though none of the fossils displayed in the museum were so complete, they also walked away, and sold all the fossils to a traditional Chinese medicine store, and the pharmacy used them to grind them into powder. Going to Chinese medicine, the Chinese medicine name of the fossil is keel, but it sold for nearly 20 yuan.Thinking about it now, the most hateful thing is that such a complete tooth fossil was not preserved.But if you think about it on a deeper level, there is no regret.How many lost things are lost, so why care about the teeth of an unknown animal!
