This stuff is a bit 'bad'.

Mo Fan touched it a few days ago, and it felt like a mixture of weathered stone and rotten foam.

"Metal idler?" Mo Fan pressed lightly, leaving a more obvious handprint: "If the idler wheel is used, even if it has been a long time, it should be relatively hard." ”

"It's semi-metal...... Well, as you understand it, this idler is only 30 percent metallic, mostly ceramic and polymer. It's been 35 million years, and it has already decomposed naturally. The civilization that made this idler wheel must have been very advanced, and it must have come from outer space. Master, where did you find it?" Xiao Bai looked at Mo Fan with an excited face.

"Shipwrecks. Mo Fan pointed to the dilapidated sailboat left on the beach: "It may be a British sailing ship, the origin of the fossil is not known for the time being." ”

A British sailing ship to the south-central Pacific Ocean was not a simple matter according to the technology of the time, and no one knew where it would pass on the way, and the origin of the fossils could not be verified.

The other two fossils are inlaid with two irregular objects, which are tens of millions of years old, and if they are not aggregated and identified, there is nothing abnormal at all.

In 35 million years, the branches and roots of plants can evolve into coal, the sea can change mulberry fields, and animals can evolve because of time...... And the formation of the Polynesian archipelago, 'Tahiti', is between a million and three million years ago......

35 million years is too far away.

But this number is particularly interesting...... 35 million years ago, there was a mass extinction in Australia for a short period of time. It was also at that time that the Antarctic was suddenly cold, and the ice seemed to appear suddenly......

Mo Fan has heard several professors say that the Antarctic 35 million years ago was likely to be tropical or temperate, and dinosaur fossils have been found on the Antarctic continent, and they are not individuals.

A fossil of unknown origin, to be honest, it is really difficult to find anything, let alone something from 35 million years ago, whether to find it or not, it is of little significance to Mo Fan.

It started to rain lightly in the middle of the night.

Mo Fan returned to the room tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

The next day, before dawn, the Xinghai took anchor and set sail, and Mo Fan slept until nine o'clock, so that Zhao Jiyang's phone woke up.

"Hey, are you in bed?"

"Not yet. Mo Fan yawned and said with a smile: "How do you know that I am sleeping lazy." ”

"Grandma just called Grandpa. Zhao Jiyang was sorting out the account books in the company, listless.

"What's wrong, no spirits?"

"I didn't sleep well last night when it thundered. By the way, I've added a few independent jewelry designer groups to promote Tahitian black pearls on it, and it works well, and I just sent out a batch of 500 pearls this morning. ”

"I'll be back in a few days. ”

"What are you doing back?"

"I miss you. Mo Fan rubbed his eyes and said, "A group of old men and old ladies on the yacht can't play together." Otherwise, you and Grandma will come by plane and we will arrive on Easter Island on the 27th. ”

"Easter Island, the island with ancient stone statues?"

"Hmm. Grandpa wanted to visit Easter Island, and a couple of professors wanted to see the garbage patches of the Southeast Pacific. ”

"I'll see if I can arrange a time......"

After talking on the phone until 10 o'clock, Mo Fan went downstairs in his shirt and shorts to the back deck.

On the upper level is the sun deck, where several old ladies are sunbathing. The lower level is the near-water deck, where the old men are fishing in life jackets.

Four carbon hard rods pull plastic bionic bait......

"Fished!"

As soon as Mo Fan came over, he heard Professor Zhao shouting, and his whole body suddenly trembled, and he was so excited that he couldn't do it: "Big fish!"

The four old men next to him hurriedly collected the poles and came over to help.

The yacht still maintained a speed of 23 knots, and it broke off after only a few pulls.

Professor Zhao looked disappointed, this was the first time he had bitten the hook in the morning......

The boat is running, and it is almost impossible for the big fish to bite the hook and pull it up.

Mo Fan went over to look at the bucket, there were more than a dozen fish in it, two mackerel, and the rest were horse mackerel swimming in groups......

Mo Fan also took a fishing rod and threw it into the sea, and after dropping it for about an hour, he didn't get anything.

At noon, the yacht dropped anchor two or three kilometers near Henderson Island, and a group of people had lunch and then boarded the island by boat.

Henderson Island is the largest island in the Pitcairn archipelago with 37.3 square kilometres and is one of the most remote and uninhabited islands in the South Pacific. In 1988, Henderson Island was inscribed on the World Heritage List based on the Natural Heritage Selection Criteria.

At one time, it was one of the few atoll-shaped islands in the southeastern Pacific Ocean with an unspoiled, well-preserved ecosystem.

Today, the island is uninhabited and rarely visited......

The western part of the island is difficult to access, and behind a red barren rock is a dense tangle of shrubs, which are between 5 and 10 meters in height. When he came to the northern beach, he had not yet docked, and Mo Fan thought that he had come to a public beach in a big city...... And it's a big city that doesn't care much about the environment.

The white sand beach is littered with plastic waste......

"I landed on Henderson Island when I was 12 years old, and I was an environmental researcher who collected and sorted out the amount of garbage on the island. By 2015, there were about 40 million pieces of garbage on the island. Now, it seems, the situation is even more serious. When Mooro landed on the island, his brows furrowed, and he ordered his two assistants to take pictures and record them.

Other professors also took out their cameras and designs and took pictures.

The beach on the island is white sand that reflects when the sun shines......

Once a World Natural Heritage Site, the island is now the most polluted uninhabited island on the planet.

The northern beaches are in good condition, and the eastern kilometres of coastline have become litter dumps.

Mo Fan is not an environmentalist, and he had read information about the island on the Internet before he set off, but he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it with his own eyes, and he just wanted to say that it was awesome.

Not only is there garbage on the island, but the coral reefs around the island, sinking garbage is even more.

Camping on the island at night, Mo Fan didn't even have any interest in fishing for seafood.

After spending a night on the island, the group returns to the Star Ocean and heads to the famous Pacific Garbage Patch......

Many people know that there is the famous 'garbage island' in the eastern Pacific Ocean, which is located between California and Hawaii, and the huge garbage island is six times the size of the United Kingdom. But little attention has been paid to the garbage patches of the Pacific Southeast...... There are too few people here, and it doesn't have the size of a 'garbage island' in the eastern Pacific.

Yachts sail on the 'current route' of the garbage belt, and the amount of trash visible to the naked eye is so small that it is negligible. However, if you pay a little attention, you can still occasionally see garbage floating on the surface of the sea.

Several professors were worried about the problem of the Pacific garbage patch, and Mo Fan was not interested, so he went back to his house to surf the Internet and read all kinds of information about Antarctica. Finally, take a look at the islands and reefs in the southeast of the Fabo archipelago...... Southern archipelago of the Tuamotu archipelago.

There are two atolls that have tested hundreds of nuclear explosions and are military exclusion zones. Considering the currents and wind direction at that time, it is really possible that Maloya has drifted to the military restricted area...... But it doesn't make sense, if it's in a military restricted area, Maloya should be easily rescued. Then it can only be further south......
