Chapter 4 Section 3 Whale Rider

I shook hands with him and said, "Please correct me for everything, after all, I am not a professional in this area." The scientist said: "By the way, what should I call your full name? I still don't know your real name. My name is Wang Chenfei." I also reported my name and called him "Teacher Wang". Wang Chenfei said: "This excavation project is very important. It is very likely that a new species that has never been seen before will be discovered. Then this matter will be reported by the whole world, so we must not make any noise. As you said, in the If you are not professional in this area, then you have to rely on me, and do what I tell you to do. Don’t act without authorization. If the excavation work is damaged, neither of us can bear the responsibility. "

I said: "Don't worry, I understand this truth, anyway, if you don't speak, I won't move the hoe." Wang Chenfei said: "Besides, you have to take good care of the people in your engineering team, and don't let them mess things up." I said: "Don't worry, our company is disciplined. They are all well-trained construction workers. I'm not the kind of small contractor who pulls a big gang." Wang Chenfei said: "That's the best. You will be the one who contributes to the success of this matter. There will be plenty of opportunities to make money then."

After hearing this, I was immediately overjoyed, but I said in my mouth: "This is just a small matter. It is a big thing to add honor to the city and get new research topics for the scientific community. Teacher Wang, I am actually enlightened. Quite high." After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Chenfei began to assign tasks to me.The people he brought were all doing archaeological work, and there were professional excavators. However, after measurement, the animal bone fossils were still a certain distance from the ground, so someone needed to clean up the large amount of dust covered on them, and I took on this task.And this project is not paid by the city, but by the scientific research unit where Wang Chenfei works. With their funds, all they can give me is capital preservation, but he promised that once the mining is completed, he will add the name of our company when interviewed. In fact, even if it is a joint excavation, I immediately agreed, making money is not the only purpose of life.

Throughout the morning, Wang Chenfei was discussing the excavation plan with his assistants, and I also participated in it, walking around me all the time, bringing me water for a while, and handing me towels for a while, serving me very thoughtfully.This girl has always been like this, so even though she sometimes does things with a bad heart, I tolerate them.Duanduan is actually a pretty and fashionable girl with a very sexy figure. I accepted her as a secretary entirely based on my sense of sight. I didn't know what they were talking about until Wang Chenfei and the others finished the meeting. Then the old man told me in great detail what I needed to do, and then he let me do it.My work is relatively simple. A large number of people hold tools to dig mud and wet soil to the warning position they measure, and then they will complete the work.

This work is not complicated at all, but it is labor-intensive, because the machine cannot be driven up. I took people to a specific area to do excavation first, because at the beginning, only partial excavation was impossible, and it was also a test field. The place, up to 8 square meters, is located in an area on the left side of the river. The workers under me immediately threw off their arms and started working. Wang Chenfei said loudly: "Everyone, be careful, don't damage the fossil structure, and notify me immediately if you find anything. " After being soaked in water, it has turned into a pile of mud, which is soft and rotten, with a fishy smell. Although I didn't personally participate in the excavation, I still frowned when I smelled the smell.To say that all the workers under me can endure hardships, they all tied a towel around their mouths and worked hard. It didn't take long before they dug up the cordon. I immediately reported to Wang Chenfei, and he took The subordinates came over, we exchanged jobs, and they did the deep digging.The professional ones are different. We have never seen all kinds of tools before, and their movements are much lighter than ours. After a while, a huge animal fossil was revealed.

It’s hard to say what it is, but it can be seen that only part of its body is exposed in 8 square meters. Of course, we can’t be sure what kind of animal it is.Wang Chenfei nodded and said: "That's right, that's how it should be, Xiao Zou, and everything else will be done in this way. You first transport the soil on top, and we will do it later." After working day and night, my workers cleared all the garbage that needed to be removed in the designated area within three days. I don't know what happened in the next few days, because I have other projects to do, and it is impossible to spend every day. There.After more than ten days, I almost forgot about it. One Sunday morning, I was woken up by a rapid phone ringing. After connecting, Wang Chenfei’s voice was trembling: “Xiao Zou, I have good news for you, Fossil The excavation work has been completed, if you have time, come and have a look, it will definitely surprise you, this will be the most amazing discovery of this century, maybe we will all be recorded in history."

Wang Chenfei was so excited that he was incoherent, as for it?Isn't it just the discovery of an unknown paleontological fossil? Although it's not a trivial matter, it can't be so big. I went out without hesitation and drove to the excavation site. To my surprise, that section of the road was actually under martial law.Although this is a piece of land to be developed, it is not a wasteland. There were villagers living here, and a very important road also passed through here. Martial law was lifted, and I had a vague feeling that it was related to that incident. Armed police with live ammunition stopped my car and politely asked me to turn around.I said: "I am Wang Chenfei's partner. He completed this excavation operation with me. He also invited me today. Please inform me."

After hearing what I said, the armed police made a report. After a while, a company commander came over and personally took me into this area that was beginning to become a bit magical.I drove the car and saw the armed police and public security guards on duty all the way. It seemed that this matter was not a trivial matter. I became uneasy. When I entered the site, I saw a group of people surrounded by the river. I don’t know where so many people came from. The two of us and the construction workers combined were not half as many as them. Everyone was very excited, as if A bunch of lottery winners are having a party.

Wang Chenfei came over and patted my shoulder and said, "Young man, you have to be mentally prepared." I looked around and said with some hesitation: "It's nothing, it's just a monster. I'm a brave person, and I'm invulnerable to all poisons." Wang Chenfei laughed and took me to the scene. After others made room for me, I walked to the river bank.Although I was fully prepared, I was still shocked by what appeared at the bottom of the river. I opened my mouth wide and didn't recover for a long time. Wang Chenfei patted me and said, "How about it, you didn't expect it, did you?"

This should be something in the water, and it is a super-giant behemoth, about 40 meters from head to tail, because they have marked every meter with wires, and made 40 marks. It looks like a blue whale from above, but the blue whale is definitely not that big, and its lips and jaws are covered with a circle of sharp teeth. Of course, I got one. Through Wang Chenfei's explanation, I know that this is an aquatic creature because it has fins. Of course, it is not only the size and unknownness of this aquatic creature that is incredible, but that there is actually a preserved body on its back. A complete fossil resembling a human skeleton.

Wang Chenfei said: "Xiao Zou, tell me what you really think in your heart now?" I looked up and down in amazement and said, "Are you sure this isn't fake?" Wang Chenfei seemed a little weird: "Have you never heard of a whale driver?" I thought for a while, then shook my head and said, "It seems familiar, but I can't remember where I've heard it before." Wang Chenfei smiled noncommittally, and changed the subject: "Analysis of fossil composition, this is at least a paleontological fossil over 30 million years old, and you can see the humanoid fossil on its back. If he is human, at least he is taller than us." a lot of." It was only after Wang Chenfei reminded me that I realized it. Based on the size ratio of giant animal fossils, this one is indeed much taller than our current people. To use an accurate analogy, even Yao Ming would pale in comparison in front of him. The back of a giant aquatic creature What happened to riding a giant man?I'm completely dizzy. Wang Chenfei was still relatively calm. He said calmly: "Xiao Zou, this discovery is indeed a major discovery in the scientific community. We have always said that life began in the sea. This discovery can completely prove that human beings also lived in the sea. Yes, and they have the ability to control giant aquatic organisms. In fact, there are records of this aspect in scientific materials, and several skeletons and fossils of whale pilots have been discovered one after another. All of them are in the Asian section, but they have not been mainstreamed. It is recognized by the scientific community, because no one can be preserved so perfectly, I believe this fossil is completely convincing, and no one can refute our scientific discovery this time." I said: "Although I agree with your understanding, as far as I know, many people are suffering from hydrophobia, and they feel dizzy when they see water. degree?" Wang Chenfei said: "This reason is not difficult to explain. Human beings can be divided into land and water. The appearance of whale pilots does not mean that human beings on the earth only lived in the sea at that time. Human beings can also exist on land, and even we can be more It is audacious to imagine that whalers are a different group of people than we humans." After thinking about it, I couldn't help scratching my head and said, "To be honest, I really don't understand this. I've only heard of riding horses, cows, and camels, but I've never heard of riding sea fish." Wang Chenfei said: "This is the fact. Fossils cannot be faked, because instruments can detect them. If I were to explain the picture you are seeing now, I would say: In a blue sea, there is a group of people commanding They are fighting against huge aquatic creatures. Of course, their purpose may be the same as ours, to occupy land or rob food. It's just that this battlefield is in a wide water area, not on land, and these creatures that can control huge water monsters People must be very intelligent, and they also live completely in waters. Because huge creatures do not live near the sea at all, since these people can control it, they are naturally not fishermen in the ordinary sense, so they Not on land, but in water." I said, "Is this inference reasonable?" Wang Chenfei said: "Scientific research is sometimes similar to making up novels, and it also requires rich imagination, because it is impossible for us to communicate with these materials left over from ancient times. We can only make bold assumptions and prove whether each assumption is reasonable. This is science. Research. Don’t think that science is so boring. In fact, every invention is the result of a genius’s imagination. Similarly, every discovery is also the result of bold imagination and rigorous demonstration.” I secretly admire Wang Chenfei for telling this fossil more beautifully than a story. If it is announced to the world as he said, it will definitely cause a sensation, because it has surpassed the limit of human imagination. It is true that we live in the sea. Although the ancestor of all life, that is, single-celled organisms, did bloom and bear fruit in the sea, there is no evidence to prove that we humans were once marine creatures. Thinking of this, I turned my attention to the human fossil again. His skull has a certain difference from that of a human being, that is, his forehead is particularly wide, but the most obvious thing is his teeth. His teeth are very sharp, which reminds me of a vampire.I think that even if he is a human being, he must be a very strange human being, which is different from what we think of as primitive people in the general sense. Their physical characteristics are very different from ours, but their body shape is very close.
