Chapter 244: Black Mound
readx; Professor Zhao smiled: "Isn't this right, you think, we have been going deep underground, up to now, it is already certain that we are in the White Age, if nothing else, we have to continue to go down the road behind, according to the fault distribution, then, we are likely to arrive at the fault zone of the Great Jurassic and Triassic, that is, the place where Professor Feng found the ore...... Oh, it should be that you can definitely arrive, in fact, Professor Feng found the ore you have been looking for in the Triassic in the past, oh, let me tell you this, if the fault zone of the Triassic is the same as here, you will definitely not return empty-handed on this trip to the sinkhole
Ning Xiaofan listened to his explanation, and finally understood, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Old man Zhao, what if the Triassic you said is different from here?" I don't know when the fat man came over and asked with his throat open.
Professor Zhao glanced at the fat man angrily, but he still explained: "It doesn't matter, since the first piece of ore can be discovered, the second piece can be found, and if the paleontologist inferences are correct, it is very likely that a large number of extraterrestrial meteorites will be found in the fault zone of the Triassic........."
Isn't the meteorite what you're looking for?
Ning Xiaofan and the fat man listened to Professor Zhao talk about meteorites again, but they could be regarded as talking about the hearts of the two, and they couldn't help but glance at each other.
The two of them have a good psychological quality, they seem to be very light and silent on the surface, but there is a trace of imperceptible excitement in their eyes......
Through the analysis of the rocks, Professor Liu also concluded that this area belongs to the fault zone of the Bai Period, and he will be reluctant to leave for a while, so he uses a small iron pickaxe to knock on the east and west around this huge rock mass. Not to mention, less than half a circle, in addition to collecting a lot of rock samples, and found several ancient fossils.
Professor Zhao is naturally not far behind, for biological experts, ancient fossils are too valuable for research, and they are naturally reluctant to leave.
This time, Ning Xiaofan was very patient and did not urge the two experts and professors to hurry.
After all, these two experts and professors are knowledgeable and have real skills. Just such an inconspicuous rock can tell a little, and the two continue to tinker, wondering what else to discover. With the new discovery, it may be able to play a big role in the search for meteorites for my team.
Discovering the benefits brought by the two experts, Ning Xiaofan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, after arriving at the destination grotto, should he fool these two experts into his team in the next trip......
The two experts were quite restrained, and the delay was not very long, and after about half an hour, the team packed up and continued to set off.
In the jungle, the trees are lush and the vines are entwined, and there is almost no way to go, so you can only use machetes to cut through thorns. Not only that, this vast area also belongs to the Paleozoic Era similar to the Bai Period, Professor Zhao also said that the Bai Period belongs to the most prosperous period of dinosaur reproduction, and everyone can't help but feel worried and a little more careful
However, along the way, the legendary dinosaur was not seen, but from time to time you could see familiar birds, as well as small creatures on the ground, and even plants, which are similar to plants that grow in the subtropics, the only difference is that these plants and creatures can emit light.
As everyone continued to walk through and go deeper in the jungle, the trees in the jungle seemed to become sparse, but when they set foot in it, they found that it was just an illusion, not that the trees had become sparse, but that there was a certain distance between the trees.
These trees are tall and straight, some resemble pines and cypresses, some resemble alders, and often only two or three people can hug each other, and at the foot of the trees, there are also clumps of verdant ferns.
At this point, everyone finally found a little feeling of entering the Paleozoic period.
Not long after setting foot in this tall forest, Ning Xiaofan and the others found that some of the trees showed traces of friction on the surface, and not far away, they also saw a few piles of black dirt bags.
The earthen bag is about one meter high, and when you look at it, it looks a bit like a tomb bag. When I got closer, a peculiar smell hit my nose, not smelly, but it didn't smell good.
This dirt bag looked a little weird, and Professor Zhao and Professor Liu walked in front of the dirt bag with great interest.
The two professors reached out and took out a handful of black soil from the soil bag, first took it close and took a closer look, and then leaned to the tip of their nose and sniffed. At the end, the two looked at each other, and their faces became solemn.
"Professor Zhao, this is feces, right?" Professor Liu didn't seem to be sure, and asked cautiously.
Professor Zhao nodded: "It's feces." ā
When Professor Liu received Professor Zhao's answer, his face changed, as if there was something nearby that scared him, and he looked around nervously.
Ning Xiaofan, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two and hurriedly asked, "Professor Zhao, Professor Liu, you said this thing is feces?" You can't make a mistake, right? ā
Professor Zhao said with a solemn face: "Make no mistake, it's feces, or the feces of large creatures, if you can't get it, it's left by dinosaurs." ā
Dinosaur droppings? It's such a big pile, so how big should the dinosaur that left this feces be? Ning Xiaofan's scalp tingled a little when he thought about it: "Professor Zhao, can you tell what kind of dinosaur left this?" It can't be a tyrannosaurus or something, right? ā
Professor Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't know, but this pile of feces is not left by a tyrannosaurus, it should be a herbivorous dinosaur such as a melosaurus or a stegosaurus." ā
"How do you know?"
Professor Zhao smiled slightly: "It's very simple, this feces doesn't stink, if you take a closer look, there are no animal bones in the feces, only some plant residues that haven't had time to digest, if it's a tyrannosaurus, the smell alone is estimated to be enough for us." Well, depending on the dryness of the feces, counting the time, this pile of feces should have been left in the past two days. ā
Ning Xiaofan listened to this, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as it's not a tyrannosaurus...
Professor Zhao shook his head and said, "Since the feces of herbivorous dinosaurs can be found here, presumably carnivorous dinosaurs like tyrannosaurus rex and velociraptor will not be missing." Besides, even the herbivorous dinosaurs are not something we can afford to mess with, this pile of feces is big enough, can you imagine how big the dinosaurs that left the feces would be? If you take a casual beat, I guess we'll all have to lose half of our lives, so don't be too optimistic......"
As soon as Professor Zhao said this, Ning Xiaofan's heart sank.
At this time, when everyone learned that the pile of black dirt bags in front of them was the feces left by the dinosaurs, they all became a little nervous, and the atmosphere became solemn.
It's just that there is no turning back now, even if they know that there are large dinosaurs in this forest, no matter how nervous and scared everyone is, they have to rush forward.
The next formation was extremely dangerous, and before setting off, Ning Xiaofan reorganized the team. According to the previous formation, there was no lack of protection in the front and rear of the team, but it was a little loose, and the recent loss of two full-time armed personnel made the protection even weaker.
With this premise, it is clear that the team's previous grouping is not very applicable.
It can't be prevented, Ning Xiaofan Yu Crisp divided the team into two teams. Professor Zhao, Professor Liu, Wang Zhipeng, Lao Wang, Xiao Shanzi, and an armed man surnamed Wu served as the rear team, and one armed man surnamed Wu was responsible for safety.
The front team is composed of Ning Xiaofan, Li Wanting, Fat Man, Hou San, Zhang Chun, Chen Biao, and Yang Hai, among which the Type 95 automatic rifles equipped by Lao Wang and Xiaoshanzi were transferred to the front team, plus the Type 95 held by Yang Hai, and the three Type 95 are used in a centralized manner, which can ensure a certain amount of firepower.
Ning Xiaofan incorporated Li Wanting into the front team, naturally with a little selfishness, and put her by his side to protect her nearby, of course, he also found that Li Wanting looked delicate, but her marksmanship was good, and maybe it could also play a little role.
In this way of formation, the front team is obviously much stronger, while the rear team is much weaker.
According to Ning Xiaofan's thoughts, marching in such a dangerous environment, with its scattered firepower to protect the rear team, it is better to strengthen the attack power of the front team, once in distress, the front team withstands, the back team is naturally safe and sound, if the front team is finished, I believe that the old, weak, sick and disabled of the rear team will not be able to survive, everyone will play together.
The team was formed, and everyone set off.
However, although Ning Xiaofan was organized into two teams, the two teams were not disconnected, but they just let Professor Zhao and others, who had no force value, drag it back a little bit, and not participate in the front team, so as not to affect the firepower of the front team.
The trees in this forest are straight and tall, with a certain distance between the trees, and the line of sight is open, and there is no need to use a machete to cut through the thorns, and the road ahead is relatively not difficult to walk.
However, everyone learned that the road ahead was full of crises, maybe there were large dinosaurs infested, and they did not dare to relax in the slightest. At the slightest movement, the guns in everyone's hands were raised, giving people the feeling that all the grass and trees were soldiers.
In this way, everyone stopped and walked all the way, and the speed of movement was naturally much slower.
Soon, a huge rock mass appeared in front again, this rock mass is much larger than the one encountered on the way, about 20 meters high, covers an area of about 100 acres, its shape is also very strange, the two ends of the rock mass are high and uplifted, and the middle is concave, forming a ravine about three meters wide, dazzling to see, like a camel lying down.
Since there is a ravine in the middle of the rock mass that can be passed, there is no need to detour a long way, and Ning Xiaofan and his party did not delay, and directly entered the ravine in the middle of the rock mass.
After everyone entered the ravine in turn, at first they could walk side by side, but as they went deeper, the ravine became narrower and narrower, and the terrain was also high and low. And the narrowest place, just over a foot long, can barely squeeze through, no way, everyone can only follow one by one.
However, this ravine is narrow and narrow, and it is better to pass through it, otherwise everyone will have to walk in vain, and they will have to exit this ravine and walk around the rock......
