Chapter 106: Quartz Cave

"No, I still haven't found it."

After staying in the Shenggu Mountain Scenic Area for four days, Yu Xian still did not find any new dinosaurs, and truthfully reported the information to Xiao Xuri.

This is enough time to explore the already developed tourist areas, and all that remains is the upper reaches of the Shenggu Mountain, the high-altitude areas that are not visited on weekdays, and some ravines below.

Two days ago, when Yu Xian dug out two ammones, Xiao Xuri was happy for a while and felt that it was a good sign.

To the uninitiated, prehistoric creatures lived with dinosaurs anyway, and if you dig ammonite, you might be able to dig dinosaurs.

As everyone knows, although they have the intersection of life years, the starting point is hundreds of millions of years apart.

"Hey, I've worked hard for Mr. Yu." Xiao Xuri sighed, "Maybe our Shenggu Mountain doesn't have this blessing." ”

"As I said before, there may be fossils buried in the mountains, because they are buried so deep that they will not be found for a while."

Yu Xian expressed comfort, "Director Xiao, maybe with the development and construction of the tourist area, there will be unexpected surprises when digging up the ground when laying the foundation. ”

It is almost impossible to effectively detect the presence of dinosaur fossils underground, and many of the fossils were discovered during the construction of the project, hence the name Dashuigou Dragon.

The very famous Mamenxi Dragon, the model species named "Construction Mamenxi Dragon", was discovered during the construction of the bridge.

"Dig the foundation..."

At the mention of these words, Xiao Xuri's eyes suddenly lit up, "Mr. Yu, our Shenggu Mountain Scenic Area originally planned to build an underground quartz cave scene, and a part of the mountain has been excavated, do you think there is hope?" ”

"You can try, but... These days, I have come full circle and circle, why haven't I seen similar attractions? ”

Recalling the experience of searching in the Shenggu Mountain Scenic Area for nearly a week, Yu Xian has no impression of attractions such as underground quartz caves.

At night, I stayed in the wooden building provided by Director Xiao for free, and I flipped through the tourist brochure in the building, and there was no introduction to the existence of quartz caves in the scenic area.

"Hey." Speaking of quartz attractions, Xiao Xuri sighed deeply, "The business of the scenic area is getting worse, and we have made many efforts, and the quartz cave is one of them." ”

The construction of infrastructure happened to excavate beautiful quartz stones, and after expert exploration, it was said that there were natural caves under the slope of the mountain, and there were many quartz crystals.

At that time, Xiao Xuri was very happy and felt that the scenic spot was saved, so he used a small amount of funds to carry out preliminary development and first set up a small area for pilot.

The cost of cave reinforcement and lighting equipment was invested, but it did not attract too many customers.

One of the reasons is that there is a lack of funding, and only a small part of the cave has been developed;

In addition, the gorgeous quartz caves are not too attractive, and even where there is no quartz, tourist attractions can buy some colored crystals to create a similar scene.

"Not to mention the follow-up development, the maintenance of quartz attractions has become a problem, and it has been abandoned for half a year."

Because the quartz cave was closed like a dormitory, some debris gradually piled up outside, and he didn't notice the existence of a hole in the depths when he passed by.

"It's all here, let's try it."

"Okay!" Xiao Xuri hurriedly summoned the staff to bring flashlights.

The quartz cave attraction has been closed for too long, and the equipment inside has been transferred to other places, and it has long been out of power, so you have to bring your own portable lighting tools.

Bypassing the accommodation area, Yu Xian found that this scenic spot leading to the interior of the mountain is quite close to the small building, and a large pile of building materials can be seen in less than 10 minutes.

Bypassing the building materials, the rough cement reinforced hole is displayed in front of you, and the original scenic spot plaque leans crookedly against the edge of the rock, and the font is faded and mottled, reading: Fantasy Treasure Cave

The name is really unattractive...

Xiao Xuri prepared masks, and everyone took them and entered the cave in turn.

The developed area is not large, and the staff said that it is about 200 square meters, but because the cave forms a winding terrain block, it gives people a deep view that is particularly easy to get lost.

After all, he didn't come to do a tourist investigation, so he was too lazy to complain about how badly the cave was designed, and concentrated on finding the dragon.

The ancient atlas did not respond.

Dragon Atlas... At the edge of the cave development site, it really jumped out of the pointer.

Excitement is excitement, Yu Xian can't directly say that there are fossils in it, that seems too outrageous.

"Can I look deeper?"

Hearing these words, Xiao Xuri knew that the probability of finding fossils outside the quartz cave was slim, and his mood was a little heavy, and he saw that he did not plan to give up, and he admired the seriousness and responsibility of this paleontologist.

"If you continue to go deeper, you have to be careful, the inside has not been developed, and the stability is not a problem, but I am afraid that the ground will be uneven or there will be gravel falling on the top."

"Either way, you stay outside, and I'll go inside."

Deep in the cavern to which the marker is pointed, the rocky passage is just shrunk to allow only a single person to bend down to enter.

There are too many people to crowd, but they can't spread their hands and feet.

"Mr. Yu, be careful, there are many dangers in the cave."

"It's okay."

Turning around to express his gratitude to the staff, Yu Xian introduced that as a paleontological researcher, he had seen many similar scenes.

That's true.

The underground karst cave in the Lianchi Mountain Range is a hundred times more dangerous than the quartz cave in the scenic area, and Yu Xian is not climbing up and down to find his companion from the cemetery to escape.

Drilling into the hole, you can smell the dust through the mask.

The lighting in his hand is just an ornament, and Yu Xian has yin and yang eyes and night vision, following the guidance of the pointing mark.

There was no need to dig by hand, and after the distance was closer, the pointing mark suddenly turned and was nailed directly to the wall, indicating that the fossil was almost attached to the wall.

It was a cucumber-shaped protrusion with a slight curvature, which I guessed was the ribs or forelimb bones of a small dinosaur.

The body is close to the fossil, reaching the range of the Dragon-Seeking Atlas record, and new content emerges on a blank page.

Generalsaurus, 56% fossil integrity

It lived in the Jurassic period 150 million years ago and can grow up to 6 meters long and weigh 2.5 tons.

The integrity of the fossil is considered high, because the general dragon belongs to the stegosauridae, and the bone blades and bone spurs on the back are hard, so it is easier to form fossils with other bones.

It is also considered that the Shenggu Mountain Scenic Area is unlucky, and when developing the quartz cave, you will explore it more, and you may find this fossil that is directly protruding outside.

There is good news, Yu Xian doesn't plan to tell people outside for the first time, explore more.

When there are many people around, it is inconvenient to use the dragon map to touch a quasi, which is too abnormal.

Walking along the stone wall, you soon touched the end of the cave.

Counting the undeveloped area, the area of the quartz cave is just like that, and it is estimated that it is about the same as two football fields.

"Mr. Yu——, are you okay?"

There was no movement for a long time, and the staff shouted into the cave, and the sound echoed in the narrow pipe terrain, and it was heard far and wide.

"I've made some discoveries here, you wait."

Yu Xian responded with a voice, changed the route and returned, and the dragon map jumped again to point to the mark...
