Chapter 69: The Truth About Animal Extinction?
"I see!"
"Hold the grass, I always thought that 10,000 years before history was 10,000 years ago"
"Slapped everyone in the face in an instant"
"It's so embarrassing, Brother Kai, it's easy for you to lose your baby if you do this"
"Yes, I will not forgive you unless Xiao Kai gives me your contact information"
"Nima, you're too shameless upstairs, by the way, begging for it!"

After getting Li Kai's explanation, many viewers couldn't help blushing, it turned out that the original intention of their quarrel was wrong, and it was no wonder that few people had to watch the jokes on the side.
However, the audience wittily successfully transferred the topic to Li Kai, and turned it into a swipe for contact information, which made Li Kai very helpless and could only roll his eyes.
Chatting with the audience, Li Kai followed yesterday's route to the river valley area again, searched on the shore of the lake, and found six or seven river mussels that had slipped through the net again, collected them and then continued to move forward, he wanted to bypass this small lake and go to the opposite side, where the bighorn deer appeared yesterday, which means that there is likely to be a suitable environment for animals to live in front of him.
"The Ice Age was a very mysterious period, and the extinction of life was also a problem for paleontologists, and most of the large animals such as mammoths, woolly rhinos, and saber-toothed tigers were extinct in a very short period of time 10,000 years ago, and the grasslands that provided them with food also disappeared, which made many paleontologists puzzled, because the environment at that time did not change drastically. β
The paleontologist Zmov believes that these animals may have become extinct because of the mass hunting of primitive humans, and that the extinction of animals has also led to changes in the terrain. This statement has been supported by many people. β
When I was in a hurry, I chatted with the audience and talked about the extinction of animals 10,000 years ago, this question not only stumped Li Kai, but even paleontologists couldn't give a definite answer, so they could only throw the pot on the humans at that time.
β...... Why does this answer sound so unreliable?"
"That's it, this pot is not carried by humans"
"But there is also this possibility, after all, many animals are extinct because of humans, such as dodos, Atlas brown bears, moas, etc., and the Styra manatee, which was eaten by seafarers in the 18th century, and humans are too greedy."
"Hey, I think it's possible, too."
"Anyway, I firmly don't believe it"
"Don't guess, Brother Xiao Kai may be able to find out the real answer this time."
"Yes, looking forward to it!"
Many viewers talked about it, and many people did not believe that humans were the culprits of the extinction of many animals, and the last few words of the barrage not only resonated with many viewers, but also were recognized by many paleontologists who were watching the live broadcast.
After all, Li Kai is in this period now, and he is immersive, maybe he can really find the real reason for their extinction.
"Well, I wish I could. Li Kai nodded, and felt that it was very reasonable, but he did not guarantee the ticket.
At this time, Li Kai had already come to the opposite shore of the lake, and continued to walk forward, the surrounding vegetation became more and more dense, the ice and snow disappeared, and the temperature remained above 0 Β°C, giving people the feeling that it was no longer like an ice age when the weather was cold and frozen.
"Brother Kai, the ice age doesn't look so cold, and there are almost no traces of ice and snow here. A spectator asked puzzled after seeing the vision.
Li Kai explained: "The ice age is not a global ice, the environmental difference between the northern and southern hemispheres of the earth is extremely huge, the closer you get to the northern hemisphere, the cooler the temperature, the land and the sea are covered by thick glaciers, forming permafrost, just like northern Siberia within the Arctic Circle, where there is no grass and is very desolate." β
"The southern hemisphere at this time was a warm and rich land with lush vegetation, and many animals were driven by the cold and migrated there. β
"I'm probably in the middle of Eurasia, where the mountains and a lot of the terrain are covered with snow and ice, but there is still land suitable for plants underneath, otherwise the animals would have starved to death. β
After Li Kai gave an explanation, many viewers suddenly realized and discussed with great interest, and some viewers who knew more about this made more detailed answers for Li Kai, so that everyone's doubts were answered.
Li Kai continued to move forward, the shotgun was loaded, held in his hand, ready to shoot at any time.
The vegetation is dense and there were bighorn deer in the past, so there is a good chance that there will be predators.
After traveling for more than half an hour, a cliff tens of meters high appeared in front of Li Kai's eyes, cutting off his path, but this was not the point, because Li Kai's entire attention was attracted by the distant scene.
I saw that under the cliff was a vast plain with dense vegetation, and on this plain there was a large group of creatures bowing their heads to eat, due to the distance, it was difficult to see clearly, but it could be seen that this group of feeding animals was composed of cattle, horses, and deer and other large herbivores, which made Li Kai suddenly excited.
"Yo~!"
At this moment, a sharp roar was heard from the sky, and he looked up to see a huge wingspan goshawk hovering in the sky.
The image is full of pristine atmosphere, and the rolling glacial mountains in the distance make the scene even more magnificent.
looked at it blankly, Li Kai was actually a little stupid for a while, and not only him, but even the audience in front of the screen and those paleontologists were the same, and they were not much better.
The old old-fashioned scholars, who had been dismissive, also widened their eyes and had to look closely.
Half a ring passed, and many experts and scholars woke up like a dream.
"Please have someone inform this ... Sir, please be sure to observe these animals up close, it will be of great help to our research. A paleontologist said eagerly, he already knew about the cooperation with Li Kai.
In fact, the experts and scholars invited here are all insiders and have signed a confidentiality agreement, and the cooperation between the state and Li Kai is carried out in private and cannot be made public, otherwise it will cause many incidents.
"No, we must first investigate the environment at that time and understand the climate and geomorphological environment of the Ice Age. But before the paleontologist could finish speaking, a geologist unceremoniously interrupted him.
"What's the point of studying geology?"
"Hmph, there's no point in studying extinct creatures!"
"I think it's best to get in touch with primitive humans at the time. An anthropologist rubbed his chin and said.
"No, it's uncertain whether he's back in time and space in our ancient times, and we can't predict how much impact it will have on the world today if it affects primitive humans and changes the course of humanity!" one sociologist vetoed loudly.
Li Kai didn't know that he had just seen the tip of the iceberg of the Ice Age, and the experts and scholars in the institute were already arguing fiercely.
Several staff members who were responsible for contacting Li Kai looked at each other, and they were also a little helpless, and they didn't know what to say, because these experts and scholars had already messed up, each with their own opinions, and their faces were so red and thick that they almost started to move.
