Chapter 160: Super Project
Xiaobai looked at Mo Fan resignedly......
Mo Fan seemed to grab Xiaobai's arm, and his mind moved out of the space, in the master bedroom of the owner's cabin of the yacht.
Xiaobai looked at the room curiously, drifted to the computer desktop with a little excitement, stretched out his hand, and turned on the computer: "This is the computer, the computer." β
"Hmm. Mo Fan nodded, Xiaobai has been in space for less than a year, it can connect to the earth's network before, and it is no stranger to the outside world, but it is the first time to really contact the outside world.
"This computer...... The startup was too slow. Master, shall we take a look at the computer mainframe?"
"Yes. Mo Fan helped disassemble the computer host, the water-cooled host looked a bit sci-fi, but in Xiaobai's eyes, this thing was too backward.
"Master, I want to link to the Internet and see the Dark Matter Theory. β
"Okay. β
"I have a way to use the dark matter energy block, but the dark matter energy block is too advanced, and I want to find the theory of dark matter on the earth, which may be enlightening to me. After only ten minutes, Xiaobai shook his head in disappointment and asked to go back to the space.
The little one can't come out for too long, and it's particle energy battery is at a critical time.
Sending Xiaobai into the space, Mo Fan picked up the red coral and grasped it, loaded it on the computer, and checked the information of the coral.
Tikhao Atoll and Mataiwa Atoll, both of which are coral atolls, are also known as coral islands, which are islands where the remains of coral polyps are deposited in the sea.
There are more than 7,000 species of polyps found in the ocean......
The polyp is automatically fixed on the calcareous bone pile of the ancestor coral in the white larval stage, the coral is the shell secreted by the polyp, the chemical composition of the coral is mainly calcium carbonate, which exists in the form of microcrystalline calcite aggregates, there is a certain amount of organic matter in the composition, the form is mostly dendritic, there are longitudinal stripes on it, each single coral cross-section has concentric circles and radial stripes, the color is often white, and there are a small amount of blue and black, the coral is not only like a branch, the color is bright and beautiful, it can be used as an ornament, and it also has a high medicinal valueβ¦β¦
There are many corals in the ocean, but very few produce organic gem quality corals, and red coral is one of them. But not all red coral is an organic gemstone...... Common organic gem corals include red coral (more expensive), white coral (mostly used in bonsai techniques), blue coral (now almost extinct), black coral (expensive), and golden coral (with clear spots on the outside).
Mo Fan fished up more than 20 corals at the bottom of the sea, one of which was as bloody in color as as it was almost translucent, and it should be a very valuable coral.
More than 100 years ago, it was estimated that the massacre was caused by this type of coral, which is also known as blood coral.
It wasn't early, Mo Fan put the coral into the space, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and went to sleep.
After seven o'clock in the morning the next morning, Professor Zhao left the ship's owner's cabin early and went to the deck cabin. A group of professors discuss the arrangements for scientific research together. Take a super luxury yacht to a deserted and uninhabited Pacific island to do scientific research, so that there will not be many opportunities in the future. Although Professor Zhao is a professor of archaeology, he will also be exposed to other fields, and the whole person is excited.
After going downstairs to drink a glass of milk and picking up a hamburger with two layers of beef, Mo Fan went to the stern of the boat and followed Professor Zhao and them to the island.
Hookster Island is divided into two small islands, with a trench in the middle of the two islands extending to the bottom of the sea.
The two islands are no more than 1 kilometre long and less than 500 metres wide at their widest point. This is the largest island in the small archipelago, and there are more than ten or twenty small islands, which are less than 1,000 square meters, and the largest is tens of thousands of square meters.
Hawkster Island is home to pristine shrubs and unknown large trees.
There are no sandy beaches, just rocky reefs.
Two small yachts, carefully docked.
Mo Fan sat next to Professor Zhao, and his mind swept over the bottom of the sea, not to mention, this area is rich in marine resources, and it is no worse than that of Tikhao Atoll.
The island is small, and Professor Matt is holding a tablet with a map of Hookster Island, which shows the location of monuments (Maori Hall) and primitive villages.
Two graduate assistants took out their cameras and camcorders and took pictures under the instructions of the professor. Four other graduate assistants began collecting seawater samples and other tasks.
The visit to the island also had an important purpose, to document the ecology of the island, a project commissioned by the University of French Polynesia, represented by Professor Mooro, who is still a professor at the University of French and Bolesque, but rarely attends classes at the college.
Mo Fan wanted to support Professor Zhao, but Professor Zhao waved his hand and looked at the tablet held by Professor Matt: "In front is the Hookster tribe more than a hundred years ago?"
"Hmm. Professor Matt, a Frenchman, looked at the bush with some embarrassment, and walked over.
There is no trace of human habitation here. In just 100 years, the natural ecology has covered up the traces of human activity on the island for hundreds of years or more......
You can see a wall made of rocks, with patterns carved on the wall, all badly weathered.
Matt looked guilty, stood in front of the ruins that could not be seen as ruins, and prayed sincerely: May the world be at peace forever, and may the world be free from killing...... Amen.
Amen, Hebrew, means 'sincerely'.
Mo Fan looked weird, this guy is still a Catholic? I haven't seen him pray before......
Professor Mooro used a local ritual to worship the 'island dead' and patted Matt on the shoulder: "It's not your fault, it's the mistake of history. β
Matt returned the salute to Matt with the etiquette of the locals, and then to the Polynesians who were traveling with him: "By the way, our main task for today. β
"Look at the ecology of the southern kingfisher, land on the island, and check the ecosphere of the island. β
The sparse soils of Hawkster Island do not allow for a diverse vegetation, with very few coconut palms, mainly pandanus and a small mahogany. The islands are inhabited mainly by seabirds, insects, and rock lizards, a type of lizard endemic to the southern archipelago. There are also seven endangered species of seabirds, including the southern kingfisher, the Tuamo reed warbler and the sandpiper.
Professor Matt and the others went to document the island's ecological environment, and Professor Zhao took a graduate student who studied pan-Pacific culture and his two assistants to the altar.
There are seven ancient altars on Hawkster Island, the largest of which is a large rock round platform with a height of five meters and a diameter of six meters. Such a ceremonial platform, which is also found above the Mataiwa Atoll in Mofan, is called a Maori synagogue in the Tuamo language. Hookster Island, the most important archaeological site in the Southern Isles...... And the sacrificial platform here, in terms of size and individual mass, is many times larger than the ceremonial platform of Mataiwa Atoll...... Considering the size of Hookster Island, it is inferred that a hundred years ago, there should not have been many inhabitants on the island, and at most a few hundred people could live on it. The construction of such a huge group of sacrificial altars can be described as a super project.
