Chapter 695: Sensational Fossils!
When we arrived at the Foggy Lake campsite, it was already noon.
Professor Ouyang asked everyone to rest for half a day, and then enter the mountain early tomorrow morning and go to Foggy Valley.
After packing up their things, Professor Ouyang, Instructor Li and several professors came to the foggy lake, looking at the mighty and white fog lake, everyone was amazed!
A gust of mountain wind blew, bringing a hint of moistness, but it was not cold.
From the shore, the foggy lake is dark and deep, and it is vast and surging. Thinking of the monuments found below, a sense of mysterious history comes to your face!
"The rivers and mountains are magnificent, the earth is majestic and heavy, I really want to live in this kind of place for the rest of my life, with white clouds as companions and Qinghu as neighbors, and life is a great pleasure!", Professor Ouyang said with a blurred look in his eyes and intoxication.
"Professor, when the time comes, you will retire and live in Baishi Village, and it won't be far from here. Someone laughed and agreed.
"Haha, it's just a feeling for a while. Get ready, go into the mountains tomorrow, and try to get to Foggy Hollow the day after tomorrow. Professor Ouyang quickly came back to his senses and commanded.
Early the next morning, a group of more than a dozen people plus a platoon of soldiers began to cross the mountains with instruments and equipment.
The few warriors who had entered the Foggy Valley with Yun Yang led the team, and along the way, they tried to follow the path they had walked, and they were terrified, and finally there were no accidents.
However, while camping at night, a lynx attacked the sentry, but fortunately it was spotted in time and scared it away.
On the second day of entering the mountain, the road began to become extremely difficult to walk. Moreover, the weather in the mountains is changing, the cold rain is one after another, the cold wind is deep into the bones, and people are shivering all over the cold, and several professors are old and can't bear it and fall ill directly.
The people found a rocky cliff on the hillside and used it as a campsite, preparing to wait for the rain to stop before moving forward. Several professors have gotten better after treatment.
This is the three, Professor Ouyang is anxious. At night, I dreamed of the fossils, for fear of being washed away by the flood.
On the sixth day of entering the mountain, everyone finally came to the mouth of the foggy valley. By this time, half of the food that the fighters had brought was gone, and some were wounded.
Professor Ouyang and the others were in high spirits, and despite the fact that the sun was already setting in the west, they were ready to enter the Foggy Valley to see the fossils.
"Put on your protection, go inside, and get out before the sun goes down. Professor Ouyang did not lose his mind. Based on her decades of archaeological experience, the fog in this valley is unusual, as if it hides a beast that chooses to devour people!
More than a dozen soldiers wore body armor, seven professors and Professor Ouyang wore top-notch protective clothing, and everyone pulled ropes and walked into the valley.
Sure enough, along the way, not only were poisonous bees and poisonous insects attacking, but this time there was also a praying mantis-like insect that jumped out of the bushes next to it and attacked the crowd.
It's the size of a thumb, but it's powerful. If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers were wearing body armor and fully protective helmets, they would not have been able to do anything.
After more than two hours, following the muddy road washed out by the flood, a group of nearly twenty people finally arrived at the site of the fossil.
The fog was thinner than other places, and the first time they stepped into this valley, Professor Ouyang saw the huge, dark gray skeleton!
"It's amazing!", Professor Ouyang rushed forward excitedly, and began to take out his magnifying glass as soon as he came to the skeleton.
For three days, while the soldiers sent people out of the mountains to transport food in, they began to guard and protect the professors and experts. And Professor Ouyang, they were completely immersed in the research.
Five days later, after more than a dozen warriors took turns to excavate, finally, the huge fossil skeleton was all exposed.
"Professor, the data is out, it's amazing!", Professor Ouyang's students said excitedly.
"How much?"
"After measurement, the skeleton is about five meters high. Ape-like walking upright, shoulders and arms should be palms! According to surveys, there are traces of tool use! The soles of the feet are 50 cm long and 20 cm wide. The legs are three meters long, the arms are about two meters eight, and the skull is 55 centimeters in diameter. The proportions are very similar to our humans!", pushing his glasses, Professor Ouyang's students reported like a few treasures.
"Hurry up and get the approximate date. Professor Ouyang said calmly.
"Yes, Teacher!", her student quickly turned and went to the tent in the camp.
However, Professor Ouyang and several old professors began to study the cause of death of the skeleton! as well as the stratigraphy and environmental factors at that time.
"Lao Liu, good news! According to the measurements, this corpse is basically consistent with our judgment, humanoid Australopithecus. The specific age should be the same period as the dinosaurs, as for whether it is the middle or late Cretaceous, it depends on the test results!", Professor Ouyang said to several other old professors.
"Hey, this is simply the biggest scientific discovery of this century! I used to watch the movie King Kong, and everyone thought it was science fiction, but I didn't expect that there was really such a terrifying creature that tore dragons and tigers apart in ancient times!", Professor Liu said excitedly.
"If this is published, people all over the world will not go crazy!", the other professors also said excitedly.
The thought that this is the first time in the world that a complete humanoid giant ape fossil has been found makes everyone even more motivated!
Ten days later, when the huge fossil was sent out of Wuling and soon sent to the Provincial Research Institute, Professor Ouyang and the others also walked out of the primeval forest.
This time, the research gained a lot, and after Professor Sun and the others learned the news, they temporarily abandoned the Hidden Dragon Island, which had made no progress, and rushed to the research institute.
It was a good day on February 15th, and although the weather was still cold, the sky was clear and blue.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Feng Xi and Han Beibei had stomach aches at the same time. Half an hour after being sent to the hospital, the two gave birth to a son and a daughter!
Feng Xi gave birth to a daughter, the oldest, a few minutes earlier, and Han Beibei gave birth to a son.
The moment he saw the child, Yun Yang trembled and was excited. Two small figures, that is the continuation of life, since then, the concern in his heart has increased!
The child entered the baby incubator, and Yun Yang came to the bed of Han Beibei and Feng Xi, holding their hands tightly.
Two days later, the family took Feng Xi and Han Beibei back home. Xiao Yufei and Si Lei hugged the child and were reluctant to let go.
At this time, the Red Leaf Mountain Villa is full of laughter and is very lively.
Grandpa Feng Xi, Han Beibei's family, and even her grandmother and uncles came to see her.
Thanks to Yunyang's investment in their hometown, their income doubled last year, and it was easy. Taking care of fish farming in the reservoir and tracking the situation of fragrant rice is too simple for a farmer who has worked with the land all his life.
The full moon wine was held at the Hongye Lake Hotel, and more than 100 invitations were sent out by Yun Yangguang alone. Needless to say, the families of the five daughters all came. Yang Sihai and Lu Hegang also came with their families one by one. Yang Qiangren was not available, and when he was abroad, he sent his secretary.
The leaders of the development zone from Liang Peng to the sub-districts below also came, although they simply drank a glass of wine and left.
