4404 Chapter 576 The True Meaning of Life

Zuo Jiang accompanied Song Kexin, Hu Xiaoya and Li Xinzheng to play in Beijing for more than ten days, and after walking through all the scenic spots in Beijing, Zuo Jiang shrugged for a moment. There is only half of the famous attractions in Beijing, and it is only one-tenth of the lesser-known scenic spots.

At noon, they had lunch near the front door, Song Kexin and they shouted that they were tired and wanted to go back to the hotel to rest, and when they got out of the hotel, Zuojiang suddenly remembered that the Beijing Museum of Natural History was in the alley in front of them, although this museum is usually very deserted, but it is a good place to see. There are a large number of fossils and specimens of paleontology, animals, plants and humans, as well as a certain number of model specimens and precious specimens of special significance, many specimens are unique at home and abroad, including the world-famous fossil of the ancient Yellow River elephant skull, the giant Mamenxi dragon that grows out of rice, the Santa Chinese bird, one of the earliest birds in the world, and the complete litter of dinosaur egg fossils. It is a living textbook for the evolution of life on earth.

Zuo Jiang went to college in Beijing in his previous life, when he was in college, the tourist attractions were basically there, but the Museum of Natural History did not come, he thought that the place where primary school students were educated, Jian Yanian, the branch sent him and his colleagues to Beijing to deal with some of the retired railway workers to petition the matter, in the colleagues under the shrug to visit it, after the visit he was very shocked, huge dinosaurs and paleontological fossils, a variety of never-before-seen marine creatures and animals and plants, all kinds of natural spars in the Strange Stone Museum, Human specimens and various tissues, organs, and embryos in the Human Body. It opened his eyes, and Zuo Jiang thought that as a human being, he should come here to have a look.

Zuo Jiang sat in the co-pilot's seat and turned back to Song Kexin and said: "Don't rush back to the hotel, there is the Beijing Museum of Natural History not far in front, where do we go to visit, I think, you can not go to other places in Beijing, but this is a place worth seeing." ”

"Beijing Museum of Natural History? What's there to see there? Ji Kexin saw Zuo Jiang say this, and couldn't help asking.

"Yes!" Hu Xiaoya and Li Xinyi also chimed in.

Zuo Jiang said: "You have all heard of dinosaurs and dinosaur egg fossils, there is a place to display these things, as long as there are animals and creatures on the earth, there are specimens and pictures to introduce them, you can see the complete list of animals, creatures and plants, you want to see everything." Very long knowledge! ”

Li Xinrui hurriedly said, "Oh! That's what happened, then we have to check it out! Kexin, Xiaoya, what do you say? ”

"Well, it's worth a look!" Song Kexin and Hu Xiaoya nodded in agreement. Zuo Jiang commanded Wu Di to drive in the direction of the Natural History Museum, and it was only a few minutes away.

The quaint building of the Beijing Museum of Natural History is hidden among the verdant foliage, today is not a public holiday, and there are very few people who come to visit, and it seems very quiet. Wu ran over to buy tickets. Zuo Jiang and the others were waiting in front of the door. In the year of the Daowei, the tickets for various tourist attractions in Beijing were very expensive, but the tickets here were only one old yuan, which was a public museum, and I don't know how much a ticket for the New Year was. It should be cheaper.

Wait until Wu Qi ran over with the ticket. Zuo Jiang also forgot to ask him about the tickets, and beckoned everyone into the museum together. The museum at the University of Nuoda is only visited by a few individual visitors. It seems a little deserted. Wang Jun contacted for a long time before inviting a docent, and this kind of visit can be combined with the docent's explanation to have a deeper understanding. The narrator is an ordinary-looking woman in her thirties. But the standard and Mandarin are very good, and she first led everyone to the origin of life and early acting.

In the Origins and Early Evolution of Life exhibition hall, the blue decoration suggests that the sea is the cradle of life. In the early Cambrian period, hundreds of millions of years ago. The sudden appearance of invertebrates in the oceans is a phenomenon that paleontologists call the "Cambrian explosion of life." This exhibition hall reconstructs the prosperity of the ocean at that time, tells the theory of the origin of life, and presents a wealth of fossils for the audience to enjoy and discern. This paper introduces the complex evolution of organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. The exhibition gives a detailed account of the world-famous fauna of Chengjiang, Ejikara, Kaili, and Weng'an, and also introduces the basic views and theoretical challenges of Darwin's theory of evolution, as well as the extinction events in the history of biological evolution.

Next up is the paleoinvertebrate exhibition hall. Paleoinvertebrates include protozoa, sponges, coelenterates, brachiopods, molluscs, arthropods, echinoderms, and other phyla. The huge cuckoo head shell stands at the entrance of this exhibition hall. Symbolizes the flourishing history of invertebrates. The exhibition hall shows the prosperity of the earth more than 100 million years ago, and tells the history of the rise and fall of ancient invertebrates. A large number of paleontological fossils from the Rehe biota, especially hairy dinosaur fossils from western Liaoning, caused Song Kexin and her sisters to marvel.

After visiting one hall after another, everyone felt as if they were there, and the ancient reptile hall and the ancient mammal hall were the most shocking to everyone. The "Ancient Belly" Zoological Hall shows the landscape of the biological world more than 200 million years ago, represented by the total whale, the fish Yixun, the earthworm source and the heterodontosaurus, demonstrating the complex process of vertebrates from the water to the exhibition.

In the center of the hall, a group of lifelike dinosaur skeletons is displayed, including the first dinosaur Xu's Lufeng dragon Chinese appeared, the Jingyan Mamenxi dragon with a body length of wounded meters, and the Tyrannosaurus rex that is the king and hegemon. Xiaohui's exquisite dinosaur, the Tuojiang dragon with sword plates on its back, the majestic Yongchuan dragon, the winged pterosaur soaring, and the ichthyosaur that dominates the ocean. There are also a large number of dinosaur egg fossils at your fingertips.

Mammals evolved from quasi-mammals. Due to its unique thermostatic advantages and the humid, warm and humid climatic conditions of the Mesozoic Era, mammals were able to recover and flourish. The exhibition halls detail the evolution of proboscis, odd ungulates, artiodactyls, carnivores, primates and angiosperms, as well as the famous Shanwang biota. In the exhibition hall, you can see a reconstruction of the Stepodont and a skeletal specimen, which is the largest mammal on Earth at the same time after the extinction of the dinosaurs. Admire a large family of elephants, including the famous Yellow River elephant and shovel-toothed elephant, which are 4 meters tall and 8 meters long.

After this lap, it was more than one o'clock in the afternoon. Standing at the exit of the museum, Zuo Jiang glanced at a single building in front of him, pointed to everyone and said, "Have you seen that house?" That separate house is the Human Body Gallery. There are whole corpses and dried corpses, as well as all the organs of the human body, I don't know if you dare to look at it? ”

"Ahh As soon as they heard the corpses and dried corpses of people there, Song Kexin, Hu Xiaoya, and Li Xinrui all screamed in surprise. Song Kexin said: "How can there be such an exhibition, it's scary!" Hu Xiaoya and Li Xinrui also said casually: "Yes! ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Of course, the natural world includes human beings. Moreover, human beings are still the masters of nature, and the human body is a big discipline, and it is normal for the natural museum to set up a human body museum! Since you're scared, don't go and see it, let's go back! He walked down the steps.

Li Xinrui is the boldest of the three girls. She quietly pulled Song Kexin and whispered, "Kexin, since we're here, let's go and have a look." What is so terrible about the dead, we are even more afraid of Zuo Jiang and them as our companions, but don't let him underestimate us! ”

Song Kexin is also very curious about this. What does a corpse look like in a museum?

She also wanted to see it with her own eyes, and when she saw Hu Xiaoya coming up, she said: "Why don't we go and see, maybe we won't have a chance in the future if we don't see it this time!" ”

Hu Xiaoya said: "Yes, let's go and see!" Li Xinrui hurriedly stopped Zuo Jiang and said, "Little brother." We're going to check it out! ”

Zuo Jiang saw the look of fear and expectation in their eyes, smiled and said, "Since you want to see it, give it up, don't cry if you're afraid!" ”

"Cut! Underestimate people is not! Li Xinrui whispered a word in Zuo Jiang's attitude, but she was obviously a little lacking in confidence.

Song Kexin and the three of them followed Zuo Jiang and cautiously walked into the exhibition hall, and as soon as they entered the door, there was a standing male corpse covered in glass. The atrophied muscles clinged to the bones, and the face looked very hideous. As soon as Song Kexin and the three of them saw this dried corpse, they immediately screamed in fright, and their hands tightly grasped Zuo Jiang's arm.

Zuo Jiang hurriedly comforted them: "Don't be afraid of me with me, it's just that Leng Ding is not comfortable when he sees this kind of thing, all the tissues of the human body in this hall are all in the human body, just wait a while to get used to it." Come on, relax first! ”

After the initial fear period, Song Kexin, Hu Xiaoya, and Li Xinrui's eyes lit up, and their eyes dodged to observe the dried corpse. At this time, a group of tourists, both men and women, came in to visit, and seeing that they were very calm and calm, Song Kexin and the three of them became bolder.

In the exhibition hall, there is a panoramic anatomical display of all organs of the human body, the dry tissues are grass in the glass cover, and the fresh tissues are soaked in glassware, such as the human head, which is cut from the middle. The bones of the brain and head are clearly visible. There are also chrysanthemum-like breast tuberculosis cells, in short, you want to see the anatomy of any part of the human body, from the trunk, hands and feet to the blood vessels and nerves. It's everything.

On the floor of the inner body hall was a glass coffin with the corpse of a young woman soaked in formalin's liquid, whose head and hands were covered with black cloth for some unknown reason, and no facial or hand features were visible. May be the cause of prolonged soaking, and its skin appears white.

When everyone walked out of the human body hall after visiting. The mood seems a little heavy, as if I understood the true meaning of life overnight, people are born, old, sick and die, this is the irresistible natural law of human beings, and the living people should cherish the good life now!
