Chapter 14: The Fork in the Road of Evolution, the Origin of the Elves (Part II)
"Fossils!" Makqi's answer was succinct and to the point.
"Fossils?" both women were stunned, what does this have to do with fossils?
"Ahem!" Wang Sheng couldn't help but clear his throat, the two girls looked a little speechless with a curious baby's appearance, and if they continued to ask like this, they were afraid that they would be tired to death, so they had to open their mouths and help share the burden.
"In fact, the fossils of ancient creatures are not only limited to the body of the organism itself, but also the traces will also form fossils, such as the nest where the ancient elves rested, the battle ground, all of which may form fossils under certain conditions. Wang Sheng recalled what he had seen in Dr. Ohki's materials, and explained it in combination with his own memories before the time travel.
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that the atmosphere was a little wrong. Only then did he realize that the four people around him were staring at him with eight eyes.
"What's wrong?" Wang Sheng was a little puzzled.
"Xiao Sheng, where did you see what you said? Why don't I know at all?" Xiao Yu looked at Wang Sheng with a little surprise, which made Wang Sheng, who was used to Xiao Yu's tranquil image, a little unaccustomed.
However, in comparison, Xiaoyu's reaction was relatively small, and now Xiaomei kept walking around in front of and behind Wang Sheng, and looked at Wang Sheng with the same eyes as if she had seen an alien, which made Wang Sheng hang a huge bead of sweat on his forehead.
The way Jensen and Mai Qi looked at Wang Sheng had also become different, and only professionals like them knew that what Wang Sheng said was far beyond the knowledge level of an ordinary rookie trainer.
"Do you think it's fake that I've lived with the doctor for so long?" Wang Sheng rolled his eyes when he heard this, but his heart was a little empty, he was a little reckless and quick to speak a little too much just now, I hope I don't cause any trouble.
"I see. Only then did everyone suddenly realize that the two girls knew more about Wang Sheng's "details", and Jensen and Mai Qi also knew that Wang Sheng and Xiaoyu were from Zhenxin Town in their previous chat, so they naturally guessed the doctor in Wang Sheng's mouth.
"Admire!" Jensen sighed, "Dr. Ohki not only has outstanding academic achievements himself, but also the rookie trainers he has brought out have such extraordinary knowledge, which is really not easy!"
Wang Sheng was humble in his mouth, but he was secretly complaining in his heart, he didn't pay attention just now, he talked a little too much, not at all like the immaturity that a newcomer who has just debuted should be, fortunately, he barely passed the test in the name of a doctor, and he must pay attention to it next time.
While thinking so, Wang Sheng hurriedly managed to divert everyone's attention, so as not to be exposed under the focus for a long time: "Actually, I just nibbled on a few more books in the doctor's study, and there are some immature speculations in my words just now, don't take it too seriously!"
"No, in fact, you are not wrong at all!" "We are professional scientific researchers, of course we know what you are talking about, but you probably don't know that what you think is just a guess is the latest scientific research results that have just been confirmed not long ago." In other words, there is nothing wrong with what you just said!"
"Oh my God!" Xiaoyu and Xiaomei covered their mouths in surprise.
"Work hard!" Jensen patted Wang Sheng's shoulder, "Young man, I'm optimistic about you!"
Wang Sheng's face was speechless, this Jensen didn't look much older than himself, I really don't know how this old-fashioned look came about. Wait, how did it come? Oh yes! I almost forgot about this!
"Jensen, I want to ask a question. Wang Sheng asked his biggest question since he crossed into this world, "As far as I know, the history of ordinary animals predates the appearance of elves, I want to know, what do you think about the origin of elves?"
Actually, I can't answer this question accurately. Surprisingly, Jensen shook his head with a wry smile, and Mai Qi on the side also had almost the same expression.
"Why is that? Is there anything you professionals don't know?" asked the curious baby Xiaomei.
"Professionals don't mean they know everything, let alone the most controversial issue. Jensen shook his head with a wry smile.
"Controversy?" Wang Sheng keenly grasped the word, "Can you tell us what kind of controversy law it is?"
"Yes, controversy!" Jensen gave him an appreciative look, then continued, "Based on what has been discovered, everyone can basically conclude that the vast majority of elves originated from ordinary animals, and I think you should already be aware of this, right?"
The three of them nodded, just from the fact that elves and ordinary animals are so similar in appearance and habits, it is not difficult to draw such a conclusion, if this is not understood, then don't worry about being an elf trainer, go home early and wash and sleep.
"The biggest controversy at the moment is that one view is that elves are mutated animals that appear by accident under special circumstances and are inherited from this variation, while the other is that elves are a branch of animals, special animals that have differentiated themselves in the process of evolution!" Jensen continued.
Wang Sheng frowned: "Two questions, first, some elves obviously have plant characteristics, how to explain this?Second, some elves are similar to metals or even machines, and the short history of the appearance of machinery is simply not enough to support even the smallest degree of natural evolution, of course, the growth of elves' own strength or the unique evolution brought about by external conditions is not counted, what should be said?"
"So in recent years, a third, more marketable view has emerged," Mai Qi replied, "This view combines the first two views, and believes that the appearance of elves is likely to be the result of multiple channels, that is, some elves are derived from mutated inheritance, some are derived from natural evolution, and as for the reason for the appearance of elves with mechanical characteristics," Mai Qi said here and sighed, "Unfortunately, it is still a mystery." ”
The two women listened dumbfounded, and for the first time they felt that there was so much mystery and elusiveness about this teenager who traveled together. It seems that he is not a person of the same world as himself (which he is). For a while, they couldn't help but become more interested in Wang Shengsheng and strongly wanted to know more about him.
At this time, Jensen seemed to remember something, and took out something from the pocket of his white coat and handed it to Wang Sheng: "Seeing each other is fate, so I'll give you this!"
Mai Qi on the side seemed taken aback, wanted to say something, looked at Jensen, but did not speak after all.
Wang Sheng saw everything in his eyes, and couldn't help but be a little curious about Jensen's gift, and took a look at it, and found that it was a piece of amber, a piece of amber that looked very ordinary, the only special thing was that this piece of amber was very clear and transparent, and Wang Sheng could even see through the surface that there was an insect similar to a fly sealed inside.
