    The excavation of fossils in Shenbao Lake has been ongoing, but has not started. It was all preparatory work and the mining will not begin until spring.

    Billy¡¯s job is to dive and explore the fossils at the bottom of the lake. Originally, this task could be left to the underwater camera, but the underwater robot cannot land at the bottom of Shenbao Lake because there is too much silt at the bottom of the lake, so exploration can only be done manually.

    Divers searched for fossils at the bottom of the lake and marked them one by one. Based on the information they provided, people from the National Fossil Museum used a salvage ship converted from a small submarine to salvage these fossils.

    The small submarine has a very flexible mechanical arm, like a multi-armed water monster, which can perform underwater cutting, collection, collision, grabbing and other tasks.

    Relying on this small submarine, some fossil fragments were recovered in March.  Due to the pressure and location at the bottom of the lake, these fossils cannot be extracted completely at one time. They can only be dismembered, cleaned up ashore, and then pieced together again.

    In order to protect the salvage machinery and equipment, the working site of the Fossil Museum is closed and managed. It is not that staff cannot enter. Qin Shiou was able to take the lead in seeing the fossils this time, thanks to Billy's leadership.

    Large tents have recently been erected on the north shore of Shenbao Lake. Anyway, Farewell Island has a lot of wasteland, so you can set up tents at will.

    After Billy showed his work permit, someone took him into a tent at the front, and Tangji Patton, who was familiar with Qin Shiou, came face to face.

    Seeing Barton, Qin Shiou took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, man, I haven't seen you fishing for a long time. Spring is a good time for night fishing, but it will be a bit cold at night, but that's what makes it fun, isn't it?"

    Barton smiled and said: "Yes, Qin, yes, spring night fishing is a very interesting activity. But you see, damn, I have too much work to do and no time to enjoy it. Oh, God, if,  I mean, if, by the time I finish what I'm doing, I have to go out to sea for a week and I won't come back until I catch a great white shark."

    A few people were chatting, and a familiar voice sounded from behind: "Qin, long time no see."

    Qin Shiou turned around and saw Hamre striding over and waving to him.

    "Why are you here?" Qin Shiou asked in surprise, "You are a busy mayor, aren't you?"

    Hamre laughed loudly and said: "Man, you are not being sarcastic, are you? Absolutely not, because my impression of Qin is a simple and honest young man. Okay, I admit that I haven't invited you to be a guest for a long time, but  I'm really busy."

    Qin Shiou pointed to the fossils inside and said, "Don't tell me, you are in charge of the museum now."

    ¡°If this is the case, then the museum I manage must be the Museum of Natural History in New York.¡± Hamley smiled.

    This surprised the mayor¡¯s assistant who followed him. In the young assistant¡¯s mind, the mayor seemed to be a strict and somewhat old-fashioned ancient British gentleman. Unexpectedly, he turned into a joke today.

    ¡°It turns out that everyone has two sides,¡± the young assistant sighed.  He knew Qin Shiou. Everyone in St. John's political circles knew about this invisible tycoon. The fact that he provided Hamley with 50 million in campaign funds could not be hidden from those who were interested.

    The reputation of the New York Museum of Natural History comes more from a Hollywood blockbuster, "Night at the Museum." This movie is very famous in Canada, especially Eastern Canada, because it was filmed in Montreal, not the United States.

    As a joke, Hamre told Qin Shiou the truth. This fossil project was the last political project he left behind when he was the mayor. Now that it is finally going to show results, how can he not show his face?

    Canada is different from China. Because it is composed of immigrants, this country has no history, so the government attaches great importance to showing history, even the history before the emergence of humans.

    This can be seen from the advancement of the fossil museum¡¯s salvage equipment and the amount of funds used. Qin Shiou read reports and it is said that the central government of Canada, the provincial government of Newfoundland, the city of St. John¡¯s, and the town of Farewell government have allocated funds.

    ¡°If we have the strength and money to contribute, we must fully mine the fossils.

    Qin Shiou sighed and said that the Canadian government is really hard at exploring history. Billy disagreed and said: "What really interests the politicians in Ottawa is that this fossil contains a fish fossil that has not been discovered before.  , this fossil is the most valuable and can put Canada on the map internationally.¡±

    When Billy said this, Qin Shiou suddenly recalled the conversation he had with Balzac when they were examining fossils. At that time, he said that he seemed to have discovered a kind of fossil that had not been discovered before.It seems that the fish fossils that have been discovered in the past have now been developed.

    In this way, Qin Shiou asked enthusiastically: "Is there any result for this newly discovered fish fossil?"

    The reason why he is interested is the giant black-capped worm. That kind of undersea beetle has not been officially recognized yet. It is not known whether this unknown fish is related to the giant worm.

    Barton poured a basin of cold water on it: "I'm sorry, there was an error in our previous observations. In fact, this kind of fish fossil has been unearthed before and was named 'Branchial Gland Fish'. It is a prehistoric creature from the Cretaceous era."

    As he spoke, he led everyone to a long and wide table, where a complete fish fossil was assembled.

    Qin Shiou lost interest when he heard that fossils of this kind of fish had been unearthed before. Billy also had the same attitude.

    Barton noticed the change in their attitude, so he laughed and said: "Although this kind of fossil has been discovered a long time ago, there were very few complete fossils before, and the specific information was not known, so our fossils are still valuable.  .¡±

    Hamley worked in the Fossil Museum and asked: "Is there any new progress in the research on this fossil?"

    Barton nodded and said: "Yes, there are some new understandings. In the past, we thought that branchial gland fish lived by preying on molluscs because they have small and sharp teeth. In fact, this is not the case."

    "Looking at the fossils now, they should be similar to today's tarpon. Their food was plankton and seaweed, and their feeding method was filter feeding, a bit like baleen whales. Of course, relevant research is still ongoing, and I believe more information will be available soon.  "

    The largest number of fossils comes from the golden chef shark and the mosasaurus, which are mortal enemies in the ocean. At a certain time, they were each other's predators.  Later, for some unknown reason, the mosasaurus grew in size and became a more advanced predator, specializing in hunting golden chef sharks.

    As for mosasaurs, everyone who has watched the latest "Jurassic World" is deeply impressed. The big boss Tyrannosaurus in the movie was finally swallowed by a Neptexosaurus, which is a member of the Mosasauridae family.

    When introducing the mosasaur, Barton laughed and said: "The value of our batch of fossils lies not only in the branchial gland fish, but also in these big guys. They brought us a little surprise, that is, the saberfish." (  Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
