Chapter 123: The Latest Discovery
The car did not drive too far, because the hilly area is not easy to drive, so the scientific research team took a small boat north in the Jinming River, which is a good choice, because the Ming country is rich in water resources, and the waterways are vertical and horizontal, which is very convenient.
Tents were pitched on the shore at night, expeditions were made during the day, and the first day on the island was very fruitful, with the discovery of exposed iron ore and pyrite, some clay and limestone, etc., and of course, the organization was also looking for Cenozoic, Mesozoic and even more ancient information, which was stored in the fauna, plants, soil and rocks of the island.
Benjamin was an expert in the study of the Earth's lithosphere, and he was responsible for explaining geology, crystallography, mineralogy, petrology, geomorphology, geohistory, stratigraphy, paleontology, and Quaternary geology to Zhu Wei.
What surprised him was that Zhu Wei was very smart and studious, he would quickly master almost all the knowledge, and he would draw inferences from one another. The two quickly became mentors and friends.
Of course, he had no idea that Zhu Wei had a mastermind and a VI assistant with him. And it can be Baidu and micro-base at any time.
Zhu Wei also got to know his teammates more and more, Benjamin is not smiling, likes to delve into research, he and his assistant Jennifer are experts at the highest scientific institution in the United States, because every living or ever living animal and plant contains carbon atoms in its body (the basis of life on earth is carbohydrates), so they can easily determine how long the animal and plant ** tissues have survived. For example, the age of a tree, the age of the shell of an organism, etc.
Simon is obsessed with plants, and he has a brand new botanical illustrated book stored in his laptop dedicated to documenting the plants of the Ming Kingdom. Every day, I kept taking pictures, sampling, analyzing, and recording.
Claude, a very strong and joking man, came to study why the dodo and the saber-toothed leopard did not disappear from the earth.
Lei was a physicist, he had studied the physics of heaven and earth for many years, studied the geography of the earth, and his understanding of the earth could be compared to a computer, but Yingzhou Island and Xuandao were a new field for him.
The team researched all the way around the island, and the daily work was boring, but everyone did it with relish. Two days later, more than a dozen tents had been erected in the Mission's camp, with notebooks and generators running.
Physicist Ray sat in front of the instrument and patted his head vigorously, "I bet there is absolutely nothing wrong with the magnetic field of this island." ”
He had always wanted to find a magnetic anomaly on the island, because this was the only way to explain why Yingzhou Island disappeared from the earth and now appeared from the earth.
But he was disappointed and found nothing. Because Ming Guo was hidden by the protection of the stealth ship, and with the revoked protection function of the stealth ship, there was no problem with the magnetic poles of Yingzhou and Xuandao.
Claude's hearty voice came, "Hahahaha, come and see, I caught a big mandarin fish." ”
Ray Zeng turned his head and saw that it was indeed a big fish, and Claude had already held it in his arms, "I bet this guy weighs at least 20 pounds." ”
Rayzen's first reaction was, isn't this Claude a paleontologist? I didn't even go to scientific research, but fished here.
"Hey, Claude, is this mandarin fish also an ancient creature?" Lei Zeng said.
Claude laughed, "If you don't mind waiting another 10 million years." ”
Jennifer stood in front of her instrument "If only there was a Ming Chef in the team, I guess you would love the taste of fish"
Lei Zeng said: "Yes, there is a Ming Guo person in our team. ”
Claude interrupted, "But I bet he won't be able to cook fish, and even if you brainwash me with the most advanced technology, I won't trust an emperor to cook." ”
Zhu Wei's voice remembered in time, in English.
"If you don't mind, leave this fish to me. I will give you an unforgettable dinner. ”
Of course, Juwei is not afraid of making fish, there are 10,000 ways to make fish in his main brain, and the raw materials can be synthesized, making a hearty dinner is nothing at all.
"Really? I was so lucky. Benjamin said movingly. I didn't expect to be able to eat the craftsmanship of Emperor Ming today.
The mandarin fish is delicate, with few spines and more meat, and it is delicious, no matter how you make it, it is really the best among fish. The famous poem written by the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Zhihe, "The egret flies in front of the Xisai Mountain, and the peach blossoms flow and the mandarin fish are fat", which praises this fish.
Soon the fish was disemboweled, cleaned, and more than a pound of fish roe was turned out in the stomach, which is a good thing. The fish was so big that he decided to divide it into five portions.
The head is made into a fish head with chopped pepper, while the roe and fish offal are directly made into stir-fried fish offal, part is made into braised fish, part is made into fish soup, and the last part is directly made into grilled fish.
Jennifer watched Zhu Wei busy, but couldn't help, the Chinese way of making fish was completely different from their Western one. So I can only watch quietly. This brought trouble to Zhu Wei's cooking, after all, Zhu Wei's condiments were all conjured from the palm of his hand. If she is there, it will be inconvenient for herself.
So Zhu Wei will find a reason to take her away, and then synthesize the required condiments.
Soon, a fragrant Mingguo fish feast was baked. So, the camp dinner officially began, in addition to the fish feast of the Ming Kingdom, the others also brought out the food brought from China, of course, as well as the Ming wine and drinks bought in the American supermarket.
The twelve members of the team were so happy that they stretched out their thumbs and praised them. "It's delicious, it's the best fish I've ever tasted."
In particular, Zhu Wei's stir-fried fish offal, which is a delicacy made with fish roe, fish fat, fish skin, etc., many Westerners don't know how to eat these things, but after trying it today, they were all conquered by deliciousness.
"Your Majesty, how can you make such a delicious delicacy, what will we do in the future."
"You'll be gone in a week, and we'll probably not be able to eat as much food as you make in the future."
Zhu Wei said with a smile: "There are hundreds of kinds of Ming food, my craftsmanship can only be regarded as average, if you are willing to stay in Ming Kingdom, you can eat Ming cuisine in Ming Country at any time, even if you return to the United States, you are welcome to come back often." ”
At the same time, they were also conquered by Zhu Wei's personality charm, although this person is a royal family, but he is approachable, and can personally cook for everyone, in their eyes, the Japanese emperor and his wife are the model of the Oriental monarch and the Oriental people, I didn't expect Zhu Wei to give them this feeling.
After dinner, Claude, who had eaten and drunk, returned to his notebook, where 12 surveillance cameras were filming wild animals, and his eyes suddenly widened.
In that night vision camera, a huge animal figure appeared.
"Fierce, fierce... Mammoth," he almost screamed. He didn't care about the rest of the team, he put on his clothes, put on his night vision binoculars, and ran to the monitoring point, his actions alarmed everyone. Everyone was taken aback by his unusual behavior.
Benjamin walked up to Claude's laptop and saw three mammoths appear in front of him. He called out to the others, "You should probably come and have a look." I think you'll be interested. ”
