Chapter 966: Ancient Relics

……

With a slightly harsh friction sound, the second bottom plate of the copper lion was opened by Liu Dong by a small half, and a slightly old red silk cloth inside had appeared in the eyes of the two.

Soon, Liu Dong, who was excited in his heart, pulled the already rusty floor off the copper lion base, which was another two-millimeter-thick copper sheet, which was covered like the cover of a drawer, and now after being pulled down by Liu Dong, the things hidden inside were completely exposed in front of the two.

Lifted off the cover on it, although it was well preserved, there were already some old silk cloths, and after seeing the contents clearly, both Jiang Tingting and Liu Dong, who had already prepared, were a little stunned!

"Liu Dong, what's in there?" After being stunned for a while, Jiang Tingting asked a little sluggishly.

"This, it should look like a dinosaur, right?" Liu Dong is not particularly sure!

But at this moment, it is wrapped in golden translucent beeswax in the middle, and the flesh and bones are even, as if it has just died, no matter how you look at it, it is so similar to the fine-jawed dragon in Jurassic Park!

But compared to the microjawed dragon, the dinosaur in this beeswax is even smaller, with a curly tail, only about 15 centimeters!

Compared to Liu Dong, who calmed down from the initial surprise and carefully observed the dinosaur fossils in the beeswax, Jiang Tingting still couldn't believe that what she saw was a dinosaur.

"How could it be a dinosaur, wasn't the dinosaur extinct as early as the Cretaceous? And the dinosaurs that have been handed down to this day are all fossils, but you look at it. It seems to be still intact. No signs of decay at all? ”

In fact, Jiang Tingting's question Liu Dong couldn't answer. But he knew that if the conditions were right, the dinosaurs wouldn't completely rot!

"Although I don't know why this dinosaur carcass didn't decompose, we know that under vacuum, anaerobic bacteria and aerobic bacteria inside the stomach and intestines will multiply, causing the intestines and stomach to rot, but because of the lack of air, bacteria cannot survive, so the decay of the intestines and stomachs will stop to a certain extent. So that the corpse can be preserved! ”

The yellow crystals that envelop the dinosaur carcass are known in collecting circles as beeswax, a branch of amber. Beeswax was formed in the Eocene and Cretaceous epochs 340 million to 100 million years ago, when a large number of cypress and pine trees grew on the earth, these trees were lipid, in a certain geological period by the outside world strongly stimulated, secreted a large amount of lipid to fall to the ground, and with the change of geological layers and buried deep underground, and then after more than 30 or 40 million years of formation pressure and heat, these lipids will be petrified into amber. ”

"Think of this dinosaur carcass as a mosquito in amber, because of the sudden secretion of a large amount of pine and cypress sap encased in it and cut off oxygen. A vacuum was formed, which was preserved! ”

said. Liu Dong picked up the beeswax in the base, and through the light, he could clearly see any inch of skin on the dinosaur's corpse, almost completely retaining its posthumous shape. Moreover, Liu Dong also found a lot of cutting marks around the beeswax, obviously this piece of beeswax was bigger at the beginning, but it was cut off by his previous owner, and only the part full of dinosaurs was kept!

"It's incredible, it's the first time I've seen such a complete dinosaur!"

Obviously, Jiang Tingting also accepted Liu Dong's explanation!

"This is a treasure that has been nurtured by nature for hundreds of millions of years, and it is so precious in the world!" Liu Dong couldn't help but say.

And Jiang Tingting next to her also nodded seriously, she was used to seeing dinosaur fossils on the bone frame, and when this flesh and bone were so well preserved and lifelike dinosaur fossils reappeared, it would be no surprise that it would cause a sensation all over the world! It's a miracle of biology, it's a miracle of geology, it's a miracle of nature!

"You say if we can get the cells from this dinosaur carcass, can we clone this dinosaur?" Jiang Tingting suddenly thought about it.

It's clear that this idea was influenced by Jurassic Park.

After thinking for a while, Liu Dong slowly shook his head, "I don't know, it depends on whether the dinosaur cells inside are still alive, if they are active cells, with the current cloning technology, this creature should be able to bring this creature back to life." But now, more than 100 million years later, even in a vacuum, I wonder if there are still active cells in this dinosaur's corpse! ”

After tilting her head and frowning and thinking about it, Jiang Tingting obviously agreed with Liu Dong's analysis.

"Regardless of whether you can clone dinosaurs in the future, you want me to see it now!" As she spoke, Miss Jiang snatched the beeswax fossil from Liu Dong's hand.

Looking at the amazed Miss Jiang, Liu Dong was afraid that she would break this valuable beeswax fossil by mistake, so he honestly took care of it carefully.

Fortunately, this was not some jewelry, let alone a fluffy animal, so Miss Jiang quickly lost interest.

A few minutes later, he shoved the fossil into Liu Dong's hand, and turned to watch TV arrogantly.

Liu Dong was left to appreciate the whole piece of valuable beeswax and the dinosaur fossils in it for nearly half an hour, and then he received the mustard seed space.

And in the evening, Liu Dong, who had been waiting for Miss Jiang, finally turned into a serf and sang, and kept his position as the head of the family in bed!

……

The night passed quickly, and when Liu Dong and Jiang Tingting packed up and went out after breakfast the next day, Zhou Bin, Li Yuncong, and Li Zekai were already waiting for them on the tarmac on the top floor of the Peninsula Hotel!

With Liu Dong's current status, he can fully enjoy the helicopter transfer service of the Peninsula Hotel.

"Sister Qiong didn't come?" After Liu Dong looked around and didn't see He Chaoqiong's figure, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"She was waiting for us at the Hotel Lisboa!" Next to Li Zekai said.

The venue for this gambling competition is the Lisboa Casino, which is owned by the Lisboa Hotel.

"Xiaodong, it's all up to you this time!" Zhou Bin walked over and patted Liu Dong on the shoulder, full of expectations.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhou, wrap it up on me!" Liu Dong said confidently.

"Xiaodong, let those so-called gambling kings know how good you are!" Li Yuncong shook his fist at Liu Dong, looking at the expression on his face, as if he had more confidence in himself than Liu Dong himself.

"Xiaodong, come on!"

And Lu Mingyuan and Zhuang Wen also cheered for Liu Dong.

And Jiang Tingting took the initiative to hold his hand in front of people!

"Hehe, don't worry, this time I promise that it will be absolutely foolproof!" After finishing speaking, Liu Dong took Jiang Tingting to the helicopter.

And Li Zekai and Zhou Bin took another helicopter over.

The journey from Hong Kong to Macau is just a drop of water, and in less than half an hour by helicopter, it has landed on the apron on the top floor of the Lisboa Hotel.

To Liu Dong's surprise, it was quite lively here, but within a few minutes of approaching, Liu Dong had already seen three or four helicopters carrying passengers parked here.

"Xiaodong, Tingting, here!"

After Liu Dong took Jiang Tingting down from the helicopter, he saw He Chaoqiong standing next to him beckoning.

"I'm waiting for you!"

Looking at the slightly anxious look on He Chaoqiong's face, Liu Dong couldn't help but be surprised: "Didn't the gambling competition start at nine o'clock?" It's still early! ”

"It's still early, but can't you just get acquainted with the venue first?" He Chaoqiong didn't have a good airway.

"Hehe, no, I've been familiar with it since last time!"

And he gambled by relics Yuanguang and not gambling, so the venue or anything had no effect on him at all.

Looking at Liu Dong's disapproving appearance, He Chaoqiong couldn't help but shake her head in her heart, if it weren't for Liu Dong's performances at the gambling table too many times before, she would have doubted whether it was a mistake to cooperate with Liu Dong this time!

"Let's go, the rest of the contestants have arrived, and you're the latest!" He Chaoqiong said.

"Don't wait for Brother Zhou and Zekai to do it?"

"No, when they arrive, someone will take them. Now let's go first! ”

Hearing this, Liu Dong did not object, and took Jiang Tingting to follow He Chaoqiong down the rooftop, and came to the gambling hall where he was here last time and had been arranged.

However, unlike last time, there are 10 gaming tables in the center of the venue, and there are not too many viewing seats around for guests.

And soon Liu Dong also understood the reason.

Because the gambling card competition is different from the gambling king competition, the registration conditions for the gambling king competition are relatively low, and there may be hundreds of people participating at a time, but the gambling card competition is different.

The Macau government issued three gambling licenses this time, in order to break the monopoly of the Lisboa casino on the Macau gambling industry and prosper the Macau economy, so the merchants involved in the gambling license competition have high requirements, and those who do not have more than one billion US dollars have no chance to participate!

Therefore, to participate in the gambling card competition, in addition to the Lisboa Casino, which has been determined to get a gambling card, the remaining two gambling cards will be contested by 20 wealthy people who are interested in entering the gambling industry!

"According to the regulations of the Macau government, the gambling card battle adopts the elimination system, this morning is 20 into 10, the afternoon is 10 into 5, and 5 into 3, and finally the night is three people to compete, the first to lose the money in the hands of the person eliminated out, the remaining two get two gambling cards!"

After nodding, Liu Dong said: "So there will be one person with a bye when 5 into 3?" ”

"That's right, I just don't know who will be so lucky in the end and be able to step directly into the tiebreaker!" He Chaoqiong sighed.

Liu Dong is not too interested in who can get a lucky bye, he won't lose anyway!
