The more you look at it, the stranger it gets.

The first is its body, pieced together to approximate its form.

The head of a bull and the body of a snake, like the skull of a bull's head and a horse's head, are connected to the back of the head, and the neck is about the same size as the body, which is the body of a snake.

There are as many as 120 ribs ranging in length from 20 cm to 75 cm, and the maximum diameter of the dragon's body can be deduced to be more than one meter. There is also a coccyx that links to the spine...... The total length is about 13.5 meters.

Professor Matt was measuring, and the results were not much different from Mo Fan's calculations. The keel is 13.61 meters long. The wings spread out 3.12 meters.

It is strange that this thing has two pairs of wings, the width of the front wings is 3.12 meters, and the length of the individual wings is less than 0.79 meters. The rear wing is 2.4 meters in diameter and the length of a single wing is 0.51 meters.

"Could it be a sea creature?" Mo Fan stared at the dragon's wings: "Do you think this wing looks like a fin, the fin of a humpback whale......

Professor Mooro shook his head: "This is a complete bird wing skeleton, which is very different from the fin bone structure of cetaceans. But living in the sea is not excluded. ”

Professor Matt set out to clean up the marine parasites on the bones, and accidentally crushed a bone: "There are parasitic oysters and corals on it, and I am afraid that professionals will need to clean it up." ”

"Professor Zhao should be up to the job. Matt said.

Mo Fan nodded, took out the jade bone fossil pendant placed in the space from his pocket, took the rope, and put it in the position of the dragon's claw just to fit: "This claw should be too small." Mo Fan gestured with his palm, about the same size.

Kyle was speechless, scratched his head, and picked up the bone that Mo Fan put down: "Is it a bone?"

It's not just Kyle who has this doubt, but Mooro and Professor Matt have this doubt as well. The creature that was patched together was too peculiar, and the texture of the bones was like jade. But not all bones are jadeized, there are also ordinary and brittle bones, and Professor Matt has accidentally crushed a piece just now, and is carefully splicing them together.

"I'm not sure, I just know that it's no more than 100,000 years old, it should be between 40,000 and 100,000 years old. Mo Fan stretched and picked up the phone to call Professor Zhao. It's the morning in China, Professor Zhao packed his luggage and was about to leave for the airport, Mo Fan's phone rang twice, and Professor Zhao picked up: "Hey." ”

"Grandpa, is there anyone around?" Mo Fan said.

"Your grandma was next to us and we were getting ready to go to the airport. ”

"Are you going to Hunan?"

"Well, what's wrong?" Professor Zhao was about to go to an ancient tomb for archaeology.

"The jade bone you identified before, you weren't sure if it was a bone before, I want to ask......"

"Didn't you give the appraisal report? Professor Antonic is an expert in that field, and show him the appraisal report...... The result from our side is suspicious, and no one is sure. Found Blackstone Island?"

"Found it. ”

"Oh, the skeleton is still intact. ”

"Complete. ”

"What kind of bird bones?"

"It's hard to say. If the archaeological work in Hunan is not particularly important, you should come to Tahiti. ”

Professor Zhao was stunned for a moment: "I am an archaeologist, not a biologist, so I may not be able to help." ”

Mo Fan took a deep breath: "It's not a bird bone, it may be a dragon bone." ”

"Keel, dinosaur bone or pterosaur bone......

"A dragon with the body of a bull and a snake, with two pairs of wings. ”

Professor Zhao's hairs stood on end: "Oh, oh, I'll come over right away." ”

"I'll ask Captain Yang to go back and pick you up. ”

"No, back and forth, we've come at this time. Professor Zhao couldn't wait.

"Stay safe on your way. ”

"Good. That's ......"

Mo Fan asked Professor Zhao to come over because they had talked about dragons before.

There are different theories about the origin of Chinese civilization, and the history of 5,000 years began with Emperor Yan, and some people say that it began with Yao Shun. At that time, the image of the dragon was already plump and written...... A representative theory believes that after the Yellow Emperor became the leader of the Central Plains tribes, the dragon took the essence of the original totemic animals of each tribe into one - horns like deer, mouth like pig, eyes like tiger, ears like ox, neck like snake, belly like mirage (big clam), scales like carp, claws like eagle, tail like fish, whiskers like ruyi...... It is a kind of mythical beast that means auspiciousness, symbolizes beauty, and represents strength.

The actual age of the dragon on the land of China is earlier than the legendary era of the Yellow Emperor (about 5,000 years ago), but the difference between the dragon in various periods of history and the image of the dragon that has been fixed in people's minds today is very different.

The earliest dragon-shaped pattern in China comes from the Chahai site 8,000 years ago. If you understand the dragon culture in China, you will find that in various periods of ancient times, the form of dragons was not the same. With the passage of time, or the richness of people's imagination, the image of the dragon has evolved and become fuller.

The Chahai site, located in the distribution area of the Hongshan culture, is a stage earlier than the Hongshan culture, and the 'dragon' found there is a vague, C-shaped snake. Then there are the dragons of the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the image of the dragon has begun to be concrete. and then to the Qin, Han, Tang and Song dynasties...... The image of the dragon is fuller.

In any case, the Chinese people worship the dragon, but just like the 'Ye Gong' of the Chu nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period, Ye Gong is a good dragon. The dragon is a Chinese totem, but it is estimated that few people really believe in the existence of such creatures......

Dragon!

Mo Fan wanted to understand Kunlun Void from it, and the space jade slip also had a description of the dragon. Hanging up the phone, Mo Fan looked at the keel on the ground again, if there were no wings, the appearance of this dragon was somewhat consistent with the image of the dragon in Mo Fan's mind.

Carefully clean the oysters and barnacles that are easier to clean on the keel, and the growing corals do not touch it. The whole keel, some of which are very fragile and can be damaged with a light touch.

When he was about to finish cleaning up, Mo Fan went upstairs, actually took out the appraisal report he had made for the jade bones from the space, took it downstairs and handed it to Professor Antonic.

The main components are hydroxyapatite, a small amount of fluoroapatite and chloroapatite, containing calcium and phosphorus, etc., the material composition is extremely dense......

"Its material composition is almost five times denser than that of bird bones. The concept of 5 times means that the bones are stronger. In the same way......" Antonic looked at the keel on the ground: "When it is alive, it should be very powerful. The main ingredients are calcium, scales, etc., which are indeed bone fossils. ”

It's not early.

Several professors did not feel the slightest bit of sleep.

Mo Fan arranged a room for everyone and let everyone sleep.

After 4 o'clock, I didn't feel sleepy when I lay down, and after a while, I saw the sky white, Mo Fan got up and closed the curtains, went downstairs to the basement to put the Mobia gold cake into the space, and came back to the living room and looked at the keel on the ground again, and found nothing special.

In the cave of Black Rock Island before, Mo Fan swept this pile of bones with his spiritual power, which was a pile of bone fossils. Now that he has pieced together the form of a dragon, Mo Fan is somewhat looking forward to it. Dragons, will there be dragon balls or anything?

Is it possible to collect 7 dragon balls to make a wish for world peace......
