Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province.

It's a rainy city during the rainy season, and on a June day, at the South Bus Station, a white Chevrolet Cruze stands out from the crowd of rampant taxis, but the muddy sludge between the body and the wheels tells people that it has been shuttling through the wind and dust for countless days and nights.

A short-haired young man came out of the car, of medium height, in a black leather coat, white flats, and walked in a hurry towards the corner of the South Station, the corners of his mouth pursed, he had been accustomed to these days and nights.

Xiao Yi tightened the black notebook in his hand, a black pen was sandwiched in the middle, and the pages were slightly curled, which was his own masterpiece. The same hand, a black digital camera, was pinched by him, squeezed against the notebook.

Xiao Yi is a journalist, he has been in the industry for two years, and most of his days are spent in the car, fires, explosions, jumps, 110, and many places have left his figure, but such days make him feel deeply tired, many times he is thinking, what his future will look like, two years ago, the seniors who graduated told him that the rare and most rare days later, he didn't understand at the time, and when he integrated into it, he found that he didn't want to understand.

"Xiao Yi! Hurry! The car is about to leave, just waiting for you!"

Suddenly, a loud voice interrupted his thoughts, Xiao Yi looked up, not far away, a young man carrying a navy blue shoulder bag, was waving to him, beside the young man, a white Dongfeng Citroen began to start, on the body, there were four big words of news interview.

The young man's name is Qin Chuan, he is Xiao Yi's colleague, he is 27 this year, he looks very capable, he debuted three years earlier than Xiao Yi, he has a lot of experience, about this interview, it was led by Qin Chuan, he beckoned to Xiao Yi, even if it was urging, there was a smile on his face.

"Xiao Yi, hurry up, there is not much time left to make an appointment with Professor Han. ”

Opening the car door, Xiao Yi got into the interview car, in addition to Qin Chuan, there was a man and a woman in the car, all of them were old reporters of the newspaper, they were older, the man's name was Qi Yong, he was in his early 30s, his body was slightly fat, and the woman's name was Shu Jing, who was also nearly 30 years old, but because of good maintenance, he looked exquisite, but his eyes were indifferent, maybe he was not familiar with Xiao Yi, maybe it was because of his personality, but these Xiao Yi didn't care, just an interview, and he didn't need to worry too much.

The interview car is driving fast on the highway, this interview is very interesting, there is an archaeologist in Taizhou a water town Qintong excavated a dinosaur bones, and found an ancient cave, according to the initial research and identification, it may be the earliest dinosaur appeared in the late Mesozoic Triassic period buried and preserved, almost 230 million years ago.

To become a reporter, the most important thing is to grasp the clues, and learn the most avant-garde information before the masses, in the past two years, all of Xiao Yi's thoughts have fallen on this, after the daily interview, he always has to think about the topic of the next day, and he is numb, and he is used to it, life is like this, many times he can't help himself, and the courage is not something that everyone can have, so you need to pay the price.

Qintong Town, is a famous tourist town in Taizhou, 5A-level wetland park attracts a large number of tourists every year, and has the reputation of Qintong will be the best in the world, but for Xiao Yi who was born in Qintong, his deepest memory is the rumored to witness Dong Yong and the seven fairies of the thousand-year-old locust tree, in the early years, people are more legendary, there is a thousand-year-old snake spirit living on it, and over time it will be the peak of incense, every year there are many people to visit and pray, but those who want to come true do not know the geometry.

"This time the excavation address of the dinosaur bones is on the wetland island in the scenic area of Qintong Town, Professor Han said on the phone, it is a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton fossil, very complete, almost dating back to the late Triassic, or even earlier, perhaps this time can prove that the appearance of dinosaurs is earlier than the late Triassic. ”

The news interview car was driving, and Qin Chuan excitedly explained: "This is a big news, maybe it can cause a sensation across the country!"

Xiao Yi pondered, he received the news last night, he looked up some information, showing that the earliest time when dinosaurs appeared should be in the late Triassic period of the Mesozoic Era, and the Mesozoic Era is divided into the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, dinosaurs have survived until the late Cretaceous period before becoming extinct, and the Mesozoic Era was annihilated together, during which nearly 160 million years have passed, and the civilization recorded by human beings is only about 10,000 years, and some earlier times are Ru Mao drinking blood, close to the way of life of beasts.

Tyrannosaurus rex, also known as Tyrannosaurus rex, known as the strongest known carnivore in the world, appeared at the end of the Cretaceous period, if the results of this research are determined, the domestic and even international archaeological community will be a big shock, almost earlier than the Mesozoic Tyrannosaurus rex bones, human history known, how many unknowns are still hidden.

However, Xiao Yi didn't care too much about this, but compared with some boring interviews in the past, this time it was full of fun, the bones of Tyrannosaurus rex, the king of the dinosaur group, this is the first time in the Taizhou region.

The interview car was very fast, under the urging of Qin Chuan, it came to the Qinhu Lake Scenic Area in less than an hour, all the way into the wetland park without hindrance, the group got off the car, boarded the speedboat that had been waiting for a long time at the ferry, and in the roar of the engine, the two waves separated, and approached a small island in the middle of the lake.

The lake is a magpie lake, the lake water is clear, legend has it that every year when the cowherd and the weaver girl meet, the magpie in the lake will take off and build a bridge, and the fate will lead to three lives. His thoughts were a little scattered, Xiao Yi thought of a lot, but he quickly recovered, because he was close to the island in the middle of the lake, and at the ferry, an old man with glasses and about 60 years old had already shouted excitedly.

"A great discovery! A cave, amazing! Quick! Come with me!"

The old man is Professor Han, a well-known archaeologist in China, who can rank among the top three in dinosaur research, but he is also a little out of shape at the moment, and the two accompanying archaeological team members around him want to support him, but they are thrown away.

The speedboat docked, Xiao Yi and the four of them quickly went ashore, and Qin Chuan said excitedly: "Professor Han, what cave, what have you discovered!"

"Come with me!"

Professor Han turned around and trotted without saying a word, his work clothes were full of dust, he didn't realize it at all, Xiao Yi was a little surprised, such a well-known domestic expert, the bearing and mood accumulated over the years are not trivial, and it is really a great discovery to be able to make them lose their temper like this.

The four of them followed Professor Han and the three into the wetland, and in the past few days, the island in the middle of the lake has been completely blocked, and tourism projects have been temporarily suspended, so all the way, except for the call of water birds, there is silence. After walking about a kilometer, Xiao Yi saw a huge earth pit, on a flat wetland that is rarely visited on weekdays, the soil pit is forty meters square, and nearly ten meters deep.

Tyrannosaurus rex bones!

Especially when you look at it up close, it's a huge shock, the huge skull, the hollow eye sockets are the size of a grinding plate, and the huge open mouth can be seen with sharp and hideous dragon teeth, which is more than enough for three or four people to enter.

"This is the Tyrannosaurus rex, it's so big!" Qi Yong exclaimed, and it was the first time he had seen it in his experience.

In addition to the skull, most of the bones of this Tyrannosaurus rex are in the pit, so calculated, this Tyrannosaurus rex is 14 meters high, and the body length is close to 30 meters, the huge bone fossils appeared in Xiao Yi's eyes, a faint smell of decay permeated, Xiao Yi visually inspected, such a large Tyrannosaurus rex has never heard of, regardless of others, the integrity and size of this bone fossil alone is enough to cause a sensation in the world. In addition, at the center of the dragon's head and eyebrows of this fossilized skeleton, Xiao Yi also found a transparent opening before and after, what is this, it seems to be caused by a sharp weapon.

Descending the soft ladder to the bottom of the pit, a trace of desolate air poured into the nose, almost the beginning of the Mesozoic Era, and the smell of the air was not rotten, but desolate. Even during the day, the sunlight at the bottom of the pit was covered by the keel, and it looked a little dark, and the surrounding soil walls were wet, but it was a little strange that there were not even a few scattered bone chips in the pit except for the fossilized bones of this Tyrannosaurus rex.

"Professor, the entrance to the cave has been sorted out, and the air has been tested to be non-toxic and will not cause any chemical reactions. ”

There was a voice, only to see behind the keel, an excavator covered in smoke and dust, while fiddling with some detection instruments, while walking towards Xiao Yi and others, at this time, Xiao Yi and the four of them walked a few more steps before they found that behind the keel to cover the line of sight, a half-meter-sized pitch-black hole mouth appeared, the hole was dark, there was no light, the desolate atmosphere was getting thicker and thicker, not Xiao Yi's sense of smell was sensitive, everyone was the same feeling, the world of the Mesozoic Era, and today's huge difference, without testing, you can know the road, here is absolutely dusty for more than 100 million years。

"This is it, do you know what we found?" Professor Han said as he took a few flashlights and guided Xiao Yi and the four of them to the entrance of the cave and shone inside.

Hiss!

Xiao Yi and the four of them were startled at the same time, and inhaled a cool breath into their stomachs, nothing else, they saw many things that should not exist, it was simply incredible, how could such a thing exist in that period.

I saw that the bright yellow light illuminated the place, there were quaint bronze swords, broken stone spears, dark iron shields, and many pieces of the same size, the size of a baby's fist, gray and white stones, translucent, gray and white, and even the four of them saw several pieces of dark red armor, but the cracks on them were mottled, as if they would turn into ashes when touched.

"At least what has been preserved in the Mesozoic Era, is this the so-called ultra-ancient civilization!" Qi Yong took a deep breath.

Xiao Yi is also contemplative, this is probably the most valuable news he has participated in in the past two years in the industry, the giant Tyrannosaurus rex bone fossil, suspected to be the remains of a super ancient civilization, maybe if you go deeper, you can find more valuable things.
