Chapter 198: A Mysterious Discovery on Mount Everest! (Happy New Year!)
The heart is surging, the blood is boiling!
The red flag fluttering on the snow-capped mountains is both strength and honor.
It is the pride of all Chinese sons and daughters.
At this moment, even some foreigners who have nothing to do with it are sympathetic.
What an exciting thing it is to see a flag symbolizing one's country and nation at the top of the world!
It doesn't get much more exciting than that!
In the live broadcast room, there were many sounds.
They are shouting for the warriors, and they are also moved by this scene!
"Teary-eyed!"
"What a legend!"
"We're number one again!"
"This is a hero born of a 6,000-year-old civilization, unique to China!"
"Front row group photo!"
"It's a blessing to see this scene!"
The bright national flag has left a strong mark on the monotonous Mount Everest, which is particularly eye-catching.
Both the audience and the media rushed to record this scene and posted it on the Internet.
At one point, it sparked an extremely heated discussion.
During this period, the Weibo topic "#ιͺε±±δΈηηΊ’η½ι»#" is even more popular.
"Netizen 1: It's shocking!"
"Netizen 2: This is the most beautiful color I've ever seen!"
"Netizen 3: I stayed up all night, and I watched the whole process, it's really not easy for the anchor!"
"Netizen 4: +1, I drank five bottles of Red Bull, and I feel that I am not far from death!"
"Netizen 5: There is no one of the most awesome outdoor anchors!
β¦β¦
After staying at the summit for about fifteen minutes, Lu Yu began to organize his equipment and prepare for falling from the sky.
However, a chance bow made him catch a glimpse of something strange in the snow out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing this, he slowly leaned down and gently spread the snow under his feet.
The next second.
An ancient conch fossil suddenly comes into view.
Picking up this fossil, Lu Yu grinned at the camera: "Friends, take a look...... What is this?"
The "broken stone" in his hand confused the audience, and they didn't guess the reason for guessing for a long time.
"Stones?"
"Isn't this just an ordinary stone?"
"Is it?"

"The brain hole is not ordinarily big!"
"Give the Ministry of Punishment Shangshu a set of imperial torture instruments!"
β¦β¦
The size of a fossil palm.
Blackened all over.
The shape is extremely irregular.
The reverse side is smooth, and on the front is a huge conch that has long been petrified.
Zooming in closer, Lu Yu explained to the audience: "This is not an ordinary stone, it is a conch fossil unique to marine rock formations. β
"The Himalayas, where Mount Everest is located, were an ocean a long, long time ago. β
"Geological expeditions have confirmed that as early as 2 billion years ago, the plateau of the Himalayas was a vast ocean, which is known as the ancient Mediterranean. β
"After a long geological period, which lasted until the end of the early Tertiary period of the Cenozoic Era 30 million years ago, the trend of crustal movement began to show a continuous downward trend. β
"During the descent, marine sedimentary rock layers up to 30,000 meters thick were deposited in the basin. At the end of the early Tertiary period, a strong orogeny, known as the 'Himalayas', took place in the earth's crust, causing the region to gradually uplift and form the most majestic mountain range in the world. β
Fiddling with the fossil in his hand, Lu Yu continued to explain while gesturing: "The threads on the fossil are the texture of the ancient conch, isn't it very similar?"
Cleaning up the excess snow with gloves, the full picture of the fossil finally appeared in front of the audience.
When you look closely, there is a form and a god, and it is really as Lu Yu said.
"Damn, can you still pick up fossils?"
"Are the fossils on Mount Everest worth anything?"
"The only one in the world, do you say it's worth it?"
"666, there's a windfall!"
"It's really a joke to say it's!"
"It used to be the sea here......
The drone flies rapidly through the rolling mountains.
With this picture, Lu Yu continued: "The crustal movement in the Himalayas has not ended yet. β
"After the Quaternary Ice Age, it rose by another 1300~1500 meters, and it has not stopped until now, and it has been slowly rising. β
"Friends, this is the power of the earth, which can always create immortal masterpieces while destroying everything......"
β¦β¦
Huaxia TV.
In the live broadcast room of Channel 5.
Seeing the conch fossil in Lu Yu's hand, Li Guozhong's eyes lit up, his brows furrowed, and he was even more shocked in his heart!
It's incredible!
As the top geologist in China, Li Lao's research on Himalayan glaciers has always been very insightful.
However, after living for most of his life, he also saw for the first time with his own eyes, a fossil from the top of Mount Everest, which is tens of millions of years old!
This unheard of fossil of Mount Everest is of extraordinary significance for the study of the history of geological changes and rock formations in the Himalayas!
The next moment, when the host asked him about the origin of the fossil, Li Lao sighed again and again:
"It's so rare, it's really rare......"
"Academician Li, can you give us a detailed introduction to the origin of this fossil?"
Restraining his joy, Li Lao talked loudly:
"We all know that Mount Everest was a shallow sea 40 million years ago, but since 30 million years, the collision of the Indian Ocean plate with the Eurasian plate has caused the Indian Ocean plate to insert under the Eurasian plate, lifting the Everest region and gradually forming mountain peaks. Therefore, it can be presumed that the age of this Everest conch fossil should be between 30 million and 40 million years ago. β
"It can be said that both its own value and the value of geological research are immeasurable!"
The value of fossils is not as great as that of antiques.
Unless extremely representative.
Otherwise, it's not worth a few bucks at all.
However, the fossil found on Mount Everest is different from ordinary fossils.
Because for a long time, this was an area that humans could not set foot in.
It's not easy to find it.
The value, as Li Lao said, is absolutely immeasurable.
Even if the price is sky-high, it is not an exaggeration!
Immediately afterwards, Academician Li groaned and said: "Through this fossil, we can obtain a lot of valuable geological information. β
"For example, the ecological geography of the plateau in ancient times, the changes in the form of plate movements, the survival period of the corresponding organism, the morphological characteristics when it was alive, and the living environment of the organism at that time are all reflected on a fossil. β
"It even has a pivotal reference significance for environmental science, social sciences and other disciplines in the Himalayas!"
That's a pretty high rating!
However, the audience was not very interested in the scholarly value of fossils.
They are more concerned about how much this black thing is worth!
"Damn, awesome!"
"Sounds like it's worth a lot!"
"Feather God earned it this time!"
"How much can this thing be worth?"
"Estimated a small target!"
"What? 100 million?"
"Don't talk nonsense, who paid 100 million to buy this thing?"
"Shocked! An anchor earns 100 billion a year by climbing Mount Everest to pick up fossils!"

If the earth does not rest, I will not rest. If the universe doesn't explode, I won't take a holiday! Thank you to all the brothers who rewarded, subscribed, and voted, and it will still be updated stably during the Chinese New Year! On the occasion of the Spring Festival, I wish you all a happy New Year and all the best!
