1010. Knowledge is money (4)

The scientific research boat returned to the dock in the moonlight. After the phone showed a signal, Professor Yin called Li Ji, so when they returned to the dock, Li Ji and Su Penghui were waiting for them.

"Where is the original turtle fossil?"

As soon as the ship approached the dock, Li Ji shouted.

He is a master of reptile discipline in China and has been dealing with these things all his life. The more he discovers, the less he knows, and there are too many puzzles in his mind.

Sadly, if nothing unexpected happens, he will have to bring these puzzles into the grave.

Now that the answer to one of the puzzles is revealed, how can he not be excited?

At this moment, Professor Yin's mood calmed down. He smiled and said, "Old Li, don't worry, I brought the fossil to you, but why do you thank me?"

"After I die, I will inherit all my property!"

Professor Yin waved his hand immediately: "This is a big deal. Thank you. I guess you are a kid who lives longer than me. You will live longer in our group. You are the best at health preservation. You have been drinking wolfberry soaked in water since you were twenty years old..."

"Don't talk about those that are not, can I share my health experience with you?" Li Ji asked anxiously.

Professor Yin said: "No need, I like to smoke, drink, stay up late to play mahjong. Well, I won't tease you anymore. Change fossils for a big meal, right? And when the final research report comes out, I want to add a name!"

"Ten big meals, no more than your name." Li Ji shook his head.

Professor Yin said: "Don't have a big meal, add my name to the end, okay? I will also hand over the research data after the fossil comes out of the water. You must know that the fossil has been away from the air for 200 million years. Suddenly, it will be damaged by oxidation."

"make a deal."

Ao Muyang quickly asked, "Hey hey, two teachers, did I find the fossil?"

Li Ji said: "I am working for the protection area in your village now."

Professor Yin said: "I will leave it to work for the reserve for the time being. How about it? Is it fair?"

Ao Muyang said: "These are nothing. I hope to keep the fossils in our village for the time being. You bring the equipment and tools needed for research in the village and study them in the village. Of course, food and accommodation are in our village. Every meal is a seafood meal. Is it okay?"

"I can't stand the seafood meal every time." Dou Botao smiled and said, "Teacher, I have gout."

Professor Yin said happily: "It's okay, you've been back to school for experiments during this period, so you don't have to stay by my side."

Several doctors immediately looked at each other: they also wanted to stay and have a seafood meal every day.

The fossils were sent to Li Ji and Su Penghui's room. That night, the room was brightly lit. Ao Muyang temporarily replaced them with a large wattage light bulb, and almost replaced the iodine tungsten lamp around the village committee's small square.

Starting from the next day, experts and scholars came to the village by boat or by bus. They came with some tools and equipment. Ao Muyang found a large empty room to build a laboratory for them.

The first study was released as soon as possible. After testing -14, it was found that these fossils appeared 200 million years ago.

The media came, and this was Ao Muyang's purpose of leaving the fossils in the village. The fossils were sycamore trees, which could attract the golden phoenixes of the media.

If the media reports on fossil research, it cannot avoid Longtou Village.

Professor Yin and Li Ji also reported Ao Muyang's name with great loyalty, saying that he accidentally discovered these fossils and brought them back to study them, making great contributions in this matter.

Ao Muyang was very panicked when he learned that they said this. He hoped that the village would become famous, but he didn't want him to become famous by himself. He would have enough trouble if he didn't become famous, let alone after becoming famous?

Fortunately, he was worried a little too much. The media just came to join in the fun. They didn't care who caught the fossils, or even who was studying these fossils. They just cared about the meaning of these fossils and how many readers could attract.

In other words, no one interviewed Lao Ao in a state of anxiety...

It's a dog too!

Research data are constantly being sent out, and these fossils are called semi-primordial turtles, which connect the process of the evolution of the original turtle to modern turtles.

The carapace of the semi-primordial turtle has very wide ribs. The ribs of modern turtles have evolved to be connected to the spine. It can be said that the turtle shell is the vertebra and ribs of the turtle.

However, from a mechanical point of view, wide rib arrangement is not suitable for protecting itself, which will increase the area of ​​stress and increase the possibility of damage after attack.

In addition, the thickness of the dorsal shell of the semi-original turtle fossil is uneven, and the thickness gradually decreases from the front end of the chest cavity backward, and the hardness of the front end is also higher. This is evidence that the turtle shell was not used by the original turtle to protect itself but used to dig caves on the ground.

Li Ji demonstrated to Ao Muyang during a meal that when the Half-Original Turtle digged the cave, he kept drilling down with his head, because 200 million years ago, most of the earth was the ocean, and the land under the sea was relatively soft, so they could drill down like a drill.

It may be in this process that turtles evolved their nature to put their heads and limbs into the turtle shell. After all, if they cannot hold their heads properly when drilling holes, they will easily hit their heads...

Ao Muyang thought this research was quite nonsensical, but it made sense to think about it carefully.

The arrival of professors and experts not only increases exposure to Longtou Village, but also increases the taste of books. Now villagers can speak cultural words such as "Darwin", "Evolution", and "Survival of the World".

Also, professors and experts all come in luxury cars, with assistant secretary waiting by their side, which allows the villagers to see the power of the saying that knowledge is power.

See if you want to make money, either by going to sea to fish with your head or by lowering your head to apologize to tourists. While professors and experts sit in the house and look at fossils and write some words, you can make more money and gain reputation. The villagers realize that they still have to provide their children with good schooling.

Originally, because of the popularity of tourism in the past two years, many people in the village have made some money and want their children to come back to help entertain tourists. Now they have changed their minds and should go to school more and be a cultural person.

The emergence of this concept scared Ao Xiaojun and several other teenagers. They came to Ao Muyang with a sad face: "Uncle Xiaoyang, my father forced me to take the high school entrance exam. I finally finished nine years of compulsory education. Do I have to wait for another three years?"

Ao Muyang said: "Study hard and listen to adults. Learning is the bottom line."

Ao Xiaojun said: "I can't learn it. I'm not that material. Look at my face with great pressure recently, I have had a lot of lumps on my face."

"Get out, this is acne!"

"Then the stress of studying is too high, and acne can also tell the problem."

"You're here to puberty."

"But I just don't want to go to school."

"It's like this during the rebellious period, which is a physiological reason. It's okay, just bear with it, and you will like to go to school after you get through it."

After hearing this, Ao Xiaojun asked, "I am entering the rebellious period? Is it because of physiological reasons?"

"right."

That night, Ao Xiaoniu's parents performed mixed doubles on him, and Ao Xiaoniu crossed several walls of his family before escaping.

Ao Muyang went to persuade the fight: "What's going on? Why do you beat the child like this?"

Ao Xiaoniu's father yelled: "This bear cub is just a beating! He came back tonight and said that his rebellious period has come. Then he asked him to do his homework and he tear his homework book. He threw the bowl when he asked him to eat. He asked him to speak well and rolled on his horse. I must beat him away tonight!"
