The Queen continued to sail through this strange glacial canyon, and gradually, the ice on both sides was no longer transparent and clear, and it became cloudy like smoke.

Further on, the turbidity gradually condensed, turning into a cloud of green and red, I don't know how it worked. Suddenly, a sharp-eyed cultivator standing in front of him shouted in surprise:

"Look, there's plants in the ice. ”

Everyone was attracted to him and their eyes widened. At this time, the canyon narrowed, and the sides of the ships were very close in the ice. Everyone saw that there were many plants sealed in the ice.

But it's not the same as today's plants.

There is a plant like a lily, but only flowers, no leaves. Then I saw many cylindrical plants that looked like cups. Again, these cylinders have no leaves on them, but are symmetrically blasted with many sharp spike-like shapes.

These strange plants only appear sporadically, but when the Queen sails through a certain crack, they appear like an explosion. The ice is so crowded that it looks like a static botanical garden.

Not only plants, but also animals began to appear. Again, it's not what everyone is familiar with.

There is a large shrimp with huge eyes on both sides of the head, and strangely enough, it has no pincers, and its mouth has grown into a pair of huge crows.

Everyone saw another centipede, but it was very different from the centipede now. It is so massive, about ten meters long. And the sides of the body are not the dense thin feet, but more than a dozen pairs of fin-like structures.

In addition, there are many strange-looking shells floating periods. These creatures are all very casual in appearance, which does not conform to the aesthetics of modern people. Everyone just looked at it and whispered about it, if it was a long time ago that this place suddenly froze and froze all these creatures in the ice.

The members of the Queen are Chinese from Brussels and the surrounding area. Everyone has their own work before the end of the world. One of the old men happened to be a lecturer in biology at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. He was wearing glasses and had just come out of the warm cabin, his lenses covered in frost.

At this point, he finally cleaned his glasses, and when he put them on, he saw a creature in the ice.

The body of this creature is flattened and oval-shaped. Kind of like a turtle. But its head is too pointed and too long. And the body is not four-legged, but many leaf-like tentacles, which look a bit like cockroaches.

The old lecturer wiped his glasses incredulously.

"Oh God!" he cried, "it's a trilobite!"

An acquaintance next to him smiled and said: "Old Yu, it's not popular to shout God now, you have to shout Sanqing! Also, what kind of worm is a trilobite?"

The old lecturer ignored him, and took in the ecology in the ice up and down, left and right. Other curious passengers asked, "Professor, what age are these creatures?"

"These are Cambrian creatures. Lao Yu was sure, "But, how could it be ......?"

He did have a reason to be suspicious.

The Cambrian period is about 550 million years old. Before that period, there were only simple organisms like algae and bacteria on earth. But according to fossil finds, almost all kinds of invertebrates appeared in just a few million years since the beginning of the Cambrian period.

This is known as the Cambrian explosion of life.

One of the most representative creatures is the trilobite. Based on his own academic knowledge, Lao Yu concluded that what is now in the ice is a complete picture of Cambrian species.

But how so?

Arctic glaciers will not take more than 20 million years to form. And how can you freeze the creatures of the Cambrian period hundreds of millions of years ago? And the population of organisms in the ice, a little... It's so neat. It's just like ......

Somebody put them here on purpose to show them in general.

In times of peace, as a biologist, you have to get off the ship and investigate. But now, the status of a scientist is very humble, and no one will care what he thinks. Lao Yu took out his mobile phone and hurriedly took a photo. This is very valuable knowledge, because what humans know about ancient organisms so far is limited to the study of fossils.

The difference between fossils and entities is so great that these photographs could be valuable research materials for future generations.

Sun Xiang patted the old man on the shoulder, drawing his attention back from the ancient creatures in the ice.

"Ah, Lord Sun!" Lao Yu is just an incapable commoner, and he usually can't reach the fairy-like Sun Xiang. This nervousness trembled and the phone almost fell into the sea.

Master Sun took the phone and returned it to him, and said politely: "Old man, do you know paleontology very well?"

Sun Xiang himself has several doctoral titles, but they are all related to science and engineering, and he has always been interested in biology.

"Understand. ”

Lao Yu introduced his academic background.

Sun Xiang was interested, so he invited Lao Yu to explain the knowledge of paleontology in the ice for him and everyone on the spot.

The way of preaching refers to more than just the method of cultivation. The richness of all kinds of knowledge is also a manifestation of a practitioner's strength.

Although Sun Xiang is very clear, the paleontological knowledge that Lao Yu is now explaining to the ice is very likely to be forgotten when everyone leaves here.

But the perception will stay.

This is the role and meaning of experience.

The Queen continued to move on, and after about an hour, there was another break in the ice. The creatures that go beyond are very different from those in the Cambrian ice that preceded them.

At the bottom of the ice, there were many creatures that looked like half-dentures, and a nautilus was seen at least ten meters long.

There is also a particularly large ancient fish, with a helmet-like skull covering the outside, its face is hideous, and it also makes people feel a burst of killing intent through the ice.

"This is supposed to be an Ordovician biome. Lao Yu explained.

Sun Xiang said he understood. And Ji Yuan, who was standing beside him, quickly took out a small notebook and wrote down the three words "Ordovician".

This act is not to say how interested Ji Yuanyuan is in paleontology, but from her experience in elementary school. She found that as long as she pretended to love learning, the teacher would be satisfied.

Sure enough, when Sun Xiang saw it, he nodded with satisfaction. Although the qualifications of the heart are very poor, the attitude is very correct. Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and it's not hopeless.

Further on, the creatures in the ice became more and more crowded, and it was almost too late to explain them all. At this moment, a blinding light fell from the sky, and nothing could be seen in the ice except the dazzling light.

It's a strange sight, and it's hard to explain how a glacier can freeze a ray of light and freeze it for hundreds of millions of years. Sun Xiang released his divine thoughts slightly, feeling that this light was filled with the killing intent of destruction.

"Old Yu, what is this?" he asked.

"I'm not sure. The old man pinched his chin and thought, "But there may be some clues, and we need to look back a little further." ”

The Queen advanced for another ten minutes, and the light in the ice gradually disappeared. But the thriving biome has almost disappeared.

But in the ice, some ferns began to appear and flourish.

"This is a Silurian nude fern. At this time, Lao Yu finally confirmed his conjecture just now, "I know what happened to that light just now." ”

During the late Ordovician period, six thousand light-years away from Earth, a neutron star collided with a black hole for unknown reasons. The collision produced several gamma-ray bursts. One of them just swept the earth.

The gamma-ray burst nearly destroyed the Earth's atmosphere, killing more than half of all living things. Next, toxic gases were formed in the atmosphere and permeated the Earth for more than 400,000 years. Nine out of ten of all life on Earth died in this catastrophe, which was the first mass extinction.

"Gamma ray bursts?"

Sun Xiang muttered to himself.

In the frozen light just now, Sun Xiang felt a huge and incomparable killing intent. But...... Why is there still a trace of sword intent......
