Chapter 102: Dinner on Inji Island (Part I)

Under the unspeakably hot sun at the equator, Chen Badai carried his dizzy head hungry and climbed into the pickup truck, which was full of equipment packed in boxes, and Chen Badai didn't know what it was.

According to what Mr. Min said, the equipment is ready, and Wang Xingguo also opened a list of equipment, and he swore that he had purchased all the equipment, so the group waited for everything to be simple. Crussell was very efficient, and when he saw that everyone was all together, he jumped on the pickup truck and rushed out of the yard with one foot on the accelerator. Mr. Min drove an off-road vehicle to follow, perhaps because he was in a hurry, Xia Ruobing had not yet sat down, and the car had already driven away from the "hotel" a few hundred meters away!

Kerry felt that he had a very good chat with Xia Ruobing last night, and Crussell had arranged for him to take a pickup truck, but he squeezed into the off-road vehicle and was in the back seat with Wang Xingguo, but his eyes did not leave Xia Ruobing in the co-pilot.

"I heard Min say, you have been to many places in order to find Loulan's secret." Kerry had something to say to stir up the topic.

"Actually, no, I used to mainly study words." Xia Ruobing said.

"Orientals are so modest." Kerry complimented, "Where have you been?" ”

"Mainly some places in China, such as the Brahmaputra River, the Nu River, and some unknown but very dangerous places, as long as there are clues, we will go after them." Xia Ruobing had no choice but to make it up.

"Coffin Mountain! I heard Min say that it was the coffin mountain you took him to! Kerry said cheerfully, apparently very interested in Coffin Mountain.

"Yes, there's a weird underground cavern complex there." Xia Ruobing breathed a sigh of relief, she had been to this place by herself, and she could finally find something to talk to.

Hearing the words Coffin Mountain, Mr. Min couldn't help but tilt his head and give Xia Ruobing a look.

Wang Xingguo was a little sullen, but he couldn't speak. Kerry was enthusiastic, had heated discussions with Xia Ruobing, and was particularly interested in some of the attacks, but it didn't seem to have much to do with his professional geological changes.

"Worm eater?! Have you seen a vanishing devourer? When he heard Xia Ruobing talk about being surrounded by bugs, Kerry was so excited that he almost didn't hit the roof of the car!

"Kerry, aren't you also studying geological change? Are there any new developments? Mr. Min interrupted him with an appropriate interjection.

"I admit that the Earth has undergone many geological changes, but the current theory is definitely wrong." After being reminded, Kerry said seriously.

"Mr. Kerry, isn't the theory of geological change based on plate theory?" Wang Xingguo realized that Mr. Min had pulled the topic away and said cooperatively.

"Plate theory? Australia, for example, has its own unique fauna and ecosystem because of its separation from the continent. Kerry laughed.

Kerry's mind jumps so much that it was hard for others to keep up, and in an instant it became the domain of biological research, and it seemed that he had a wide range of knowledge.

"The extinction of ancient organisms seems to have more to do with the environment."

"NONO, MR. WANG, YOU ARE WRONG, THE EXTINCTION OF PALEONTOLOGY IS NOT ONLY RELATED TO THE CLIMATE, IN FACT, IT IS VERY COMPLICATED, AND HAVE YOU CONSIDERED IT, WHO IS CONTROLLING THIS?" Kerry was a little proud, and Wang Xingguo's question was a little disdainful for him to answer.

"Nature has its own laws." Wang Xingguo said calmly.

"No, isn't it strange that Darwin's theory of evolution is flawed, and it doesn't explain why life on Earth has several Big Bang growth periods and several instantaneous extinction periods? According to the theory of evolution, living things evolve slowly, but why do humans evolve so fast, and they evolve at an accelerated rate? Three million years ago, we were like orangutans, and this lasted until 100,000 years ago, but 100,000 years ago, humans suddenly went into an acceleration period, and it was getting faster and faster......," Kerry said.

"This ...... Science does not have an authoritative explanation, and it is still controversial. Xia Ruobing felt that Kerry was a little aggressive, and came out to play a round.

"Quite right, because science now can't explain it." Kerry snapped his fingers, "Before the Cambrian period, there were almost no multicellular organisms on Earth, but in just a few million years, a lot of invertebrates suddenly appeared, dear, we have to know that millions of years are like 5 minutes for humans to wake up in the morning, can you imagine that in the first five minutes of your waking up in the morning, countless cockroaches suddenly appeared in the room?" Where do they come from? Kerry asked.

Wang Xingguo is not a paleontologist, although he has a wide range of knowledge, but after all, his professional knowledge cannot be compared with experts who study these, so he can't answer, and of course Xia Ruobing can't answer.

"There is only one possibility, someone put it in, the earth is the empty room, maybe someone thinks it is too monotonous, so they want to give it a little vitality." Kerry said.

This is a completely new theory, Xia Ruobing became interested, and asked, "And then?" ”

And then ...... The man didn't think the cockroaches were suitable, so he came with insecticide and re-introduced some lizards...... This led to the Ordovician mass extinction. Kerry managed to attract Xia Ruobing's attention, and he felt very happy.

"And then the man thinks the lizard is inappropriate and comes with insecticide?" Wang Xingguo felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, although Xia Ruobing had nothing to do with him, but this overly enthusiastic Kerry still made Wang Xingguo feel threatened.

"That's what it looks like." Kerry snapped his fingers again, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with Wang Xingguo's upper path, and did not hear Wang Xingguo's off-strings.

"According to Darwin's theory, living things have evolved for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, and they have been very adaptable to the environment, climate changes, geological changes, it's like we move furniture and open windows, and we can't have a huge impact on living things, unless someone ......comes in with pesticides," Kerry said.

This theory sounds logically not wrong, but the premise is active intervention, which is contrary to the current scientific system, the theory of natural evolution does not believe that there is a hand of God intervening, and the survival of the fittest is the driving force of evolution, but there are flaws in either case, such as the theory of evolution cannot explain the Big Bang and the mass extinction of organisms, but at least Darwin's theory of evolution is still the mainstream of science.

"Judging from the fossils excavated in the strata, don't you think it's strange that living things are developing at an accelerated pace, and their cycles are getting shorter and shorter, which cannot be explained by the mutation of evolution." Kerry said again.

"It seems that this is exactly what happened." Xia Ruobing was thoughtful.

"So you mean there's an invisible hand that controls everything?" Wang Xingguo asked.

"Perhaps, many nations have legends of God. Of course, each has different statements, but who is this man called God? Kerry threw up another question.

"Do we still need to study God for geological changes?" Wang Xingguo asked.

Kerry still didn't hear Wang Xingguo's voice, and he spread his hands: "Some people say that they are aliens, and the earth is just a testing ground for them." ”

"Yes, if that's the case, then why didn't the owner of the test field come to see it?" Wang Xingguo caught a loophole in Kerry's logic.

"Perhaps, the master just let the creatures in the field develop freely, and when one day it is beyond the limits of what he can endure, he comes with pesticides." Kerry smiled and said, "Order needs a strong force to control, otherwise order will be destroyed." Several mass extinctions of life are because order has been destroyed and must be re-established. ”

"Okay......" Wang Xingguo felt that there was no point in continuing the discussion, because the starting point of the two was originally different, and the order of natural development and the order of human intervention could not be discussed together.

"Of course, there are a lot of conjectures in the scientific community right now, and this is just one kind." Mr. Min tactfully said, "These are just some of the topics we talked about after our adventures, and who knows what God is thinking?" ”

"Yes, who knows what God is thinking?" Xia Ruobing also felt that there was something difficult to deal with between Kerry and Wang Xingguo, and also followed Mr. Min's words.

It is precisely because there are many problems that human beings cannot explain at the beginning, so legends and myths have been produced, science is used to explain myths, but there are many people who use science to create another myth, Wang Xingguo feels that Kerry is such a person, he wants to subvert all the traditional systems, to create a modern mythological story, and he is the creator of the story......

Wang Xingguo knew that it was time to end this topic, and asked, "What are we looking for this time?" ”

"A treasure left behind by a Spanish pirate fleet, to be exact, Dick wants the skull crown......" Kerry said with some excitement, "He said it was a relic of the Loulan royal family, and he had the right to inherit it!" ”

"Kerry has always felt that everything in Loulan should be his." Mr. Min half-jokingly digressed the subject.

"Huh? Isn't he the only descendant of the Loulan royal family in the world? Kerry didn't react at once.

"Probably." Mr. Min smiled, "But there are so many people in the Loulan royal family, why is he the only one left?" ”

"It seems to make a lot of sense, too." Kerry was so caught up in Mr. Min that he had completely forgotten that he had been invited by Dick.

Crussell didn't say much on the pickup truck, and as soon as he got into the car, he made a few requests, or rather orders that were more appropriate: "First, you don't need to know much; Second, do your job well; Third, don't ask what you shouldn't. ”

This order suddenly stretched the distance between the two sides to a thousand miles away, and this Chen Badai's English level was not very good, and there were some obstacles to communication and communication. Originally, Sherpa wanted to ask some details about the expedition, but seeing Crussell's blunt attitude, he didn't know where to start, Sharjah Jean and Krussell had a chat along the way, completely ignoring Chen Badai and Sherpa in the back seat. From their conversations, it was learned that Sharjah Jean was the sponsor of the event, and that he was responsible for all the expenses, and that he had paid $5 million for the treasure so far......
