Chapter 40: A Bold Conjecture
Such a huge baby fish provides people with rich meat, the four thick legs are eaten cleanly by people, and the remaining uneaten parts are thrown aside at will.
The water in front of him is very deep, it is difficult for people who can't swim to pass, Wang Lang plans to stay here for a while, he plans to make a raft, although now they only have two ropes, but the water here is gentle, and some simple straw ropes can still be barely used, so that the raft will not fall apart after entering the water.
The temperature in the marshes drops quickly at night, giving goosebumps to the slightest coolness, and the insects and frogs that hide during the day suddenly come alive at night, and all kinds of noisy chirping add a lot of life to this lifeless place.
The dark night sky is dotted with countless twinkling stars, and the Milky Way is like a faintly glowing white band across the starry sky, and the breeze blows through the water, causing layers of ripples.
People sit around the fire and feel the magnificence of nature, which is very different from the forest, and being in such a vast land makes people feel so small.
A full moon hung in the night sky, and the silver-white moonlight sprinkled onto the earth, adding a touch of desolation to the heaven and earth.
Looking at the full moon, Wang Lang couldn't help but think, is this season already the Mid-Autumn Festival, originally more than a year ago you could eat moon cakes with your family and enjoy the moon, but now you are in this desolate swamp, thinking of this Wang Lang has a sense of unreality like a world away.
Fanxing, who was sitting next to Wang Lang, felt Enwang Lang's sadness, and said suspiciously: "Lang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"No, not much! By the way, this time is hard, and your body is okay! Wang Lang smiled awkwardly and changed the topic.
Fanxing lowered his head and touched his somewhat bulging belly, and said, "Well, it's okay! It's just that after a while, my belly is bigger, and I'm worried that it will drag everyone down. ”
Wang Lang touched her hair and said, "It's okay, we will stabilize before then, you don't have to worry, you can rest assured, our child will be born smoothly." ”
Fanxing nodded, gently stroking his belly, and looked at the beating fire in a daze.
People who don't have any entertainment activities will go to bed early after nightfall, in this unsheltered place, coupled with the incident of the giant baby fish during the day, only one person was originally arranged to keep vigil in the jungle, in order to be on the safe side, Wang Lang let two people keep vigil at the same time at a time.
The waters seemed to be the territory of the baby fish, and there were no large predators at night, except for the occasional sloth coming out of the caves on the island to feed, and the whole area of water was calm.
Wang Lang arranged for his last night shift because he wanted to see if he could see Venus, which was impossible to observe in the jungle because his view was obscured by trees, but the open terrain like the swamp was an excellent observation spot.
It is very important for Wang Lang to see whether it is on the earth, the earth is the only place that reminds him of his hometown, and the slightest bond in his heart for the past makes Wang Lang look at the eastern sky with anxiety.
At dawn, a very bright star appeared on the eastern horizon, and looking at that star, Wang Lang choked up a little.
Venus is also known as the morning star, that is, the familiar myth and legend of the platinum star, Wang Lang only knows that Venus often observes before dawn, but he does not know that in the evening in the western afterglow, the bright star is actually the same star as Venus.
Seeing that he was indeed on the earth, Wang Lang was a little puzzled in addition to being excited, if he was on the earth, then what period was he in, tens of millions of years ago?
Wang Lang shook his head and denied this idea, although there are dinosaurs in this world, but there are not many of them, and I have never seen particularly tall and fierce dinosaurs, but large mammals have seen a lot.
Moreover, humans have evolved into Homo sapiens, and if Darwinian evolution is correct, it would take at least millions of years for humans to evolve into what they are now.
The corner that followed Wang Lang to keep vigil at night, looking at Wang Lang's appearance of touching his chin and frowning and thinking, he didn't dare to disturb Wang Lang, and he held a spear and vigilantly observed the surrounding movements.
Wang Lang sat cross-legged by the fire, trying to analyze the world situation based on the knowledge he had learned.
"According to this line of thought, then it should be tens of thousands of years ago to hundreds of thousands of years ago before history, but in reality, this world is a little different from the previous world, dinosaurs are not extinct in this world, but the number has decreased, can it be said that there was no big impact in this world?" Wang Lang's eyes lit up, and he continued to think about it along this line.
"Assuming that it is tens of thousands of years ago, then it should be in the ice age, and the white world they said should be a frozen area, maybe most dinosaurs just can't adapt to such a sudden climate change and become extinct in large numbers, if that's the case, then they should be near the equator now, and they haven't found the existence of the ocean for so long, then they shouldn't be on some desert island, if the continental plate of this world is about the same as another earth, they shouldn't be in Asia, I just don't know if I'm in Africa or South America. Wang Lang thought that although he didn't determine the specific location here, he was still a little excited in his heart.
Because there are large tracts of savannah in Africa and South America, I am right to insist that as long as I pass through this swamp, I will definitely find a suitable place for people to live for a long time.
Wang Lang stood up excitedly and paced back and forth on the shore, he wanted to share his analysis with others, but this was something more mysterious than a myth, Wang Lang didn't know how to explain it.
This kind of joy could not be shared with others, which made Wang Lang feel very uncomfortable, and he wanted to shout at this vast world to relieve some hot blood in his body.
Jiao frowned and looked at Wang Lang who was a little abnormal, he didn't know what was wrong with his leader, he frowned and grinned for a while, Jiao wanted to call the others up, but Wang Lang didn't seem to have made any dangerous moves, but he still subconsciously stayed away from Wang Lang.
