    After bidding farewell to director Cameron, Qin Shiou was about to board the helicopter and return to the fishing ground. As soon as the Osprey started, a row of red lights suddenly lit up on the helicopter's bridge, and a harsh buzzer sounded.

    Qin Shiou encountered this kind of situation for the first time. He was sitting in the passenger seat and was about to close his eyes to rest. Such stimulation made his heart beat wildly. He quickly asked: "What's going on, buddy?"

    Osprey signaled him to relax. After turning off the engine, he went to check it and came back and said: "The joint of a cooling pipe of the engine is rusty. I need to find some engine oil to clean it. It's not a big deal. I can still fly later."

    Qin Shiou thought it was better to be cautious. He said: "Forget it, Osprey, let's leave this thing here and let the people in the aviation city handle it. We don't want to take this risk, so let's take the train back to St. John's."

    There is no airport in Port of Basque Country. The nearest airport is in Saint-Antoine in the north. In this case, it is better to take the train back.

    Osprey looked relaxed and said: "That's not a big problem, boss. I can handle it. When I was in the army, I used to dare to drive even if the engine cooling pipe burst."

    "But I don't dare to die." Qin Shiou said honestly. He is the god of the sea, not the god of the sky. The sky is not his territory. If something goes wrong with the helicopter in the air, he will really lose more than he gains.

    Osprey shrugged, took out his mobile phone and bought four train tickets from Port of the Basque Country to St. John's.

    Canada¡¯s transportation is similar to that of the United States. Airports are being built everywhere. Aviation has become the simplest and most effective means of travel. It is cheap, safe and fast, while train transportation has become a mid-to-high-end travel tool.

    This is a huge difference in transportation between developed and developing countries. Take Canada, for example, the highway coverage rate in the country exceeds 80%. Except for the north near the Arctic, highways have been built in other areas, and almost all of them have been built.  All are free to use.

    In this way, people will choose to fly for long-distance travel, and drive themselves for short-distance travel, so the market for trains will naturally disappear.

    ¡°Train transportation companies such as Pacific Railway are traditional large-scale enterprises in Canada. After they realized the crisis, they made timely changes in the industry and turned train travel into an enjoyable activity.

    The train coverage rate in Newfoundland is relatively low. After all, this is a large island living alone overseas. Sea transportation is the main focus, and then there are aviation and highways, and railways occupy a small share.

    But even so, Newfoundland's railway transportation is still quite developed. The railway station in Port aux Basques is built like a castle. The waiting room is tall and spacious, and the overall color is warm yellow, so you can feel a touch of warmth even if you stay inside in winter.  .

    When he arrived at the train station, Qin Shiou looked at the time. There was still more than an hour before the departure. He didn't want to sit at the train station, so he bought a map at the newsstand at the entrance of the station and found an interpretation center not far away called the Golden Nails.  Interpretive Center.

    The Interpretation Center of Newfoundland can also be said to be a museum, a memorial hall, an art gallery, etc. Anyway, a place where people explain is called an Interpretation Center. This Interpretation Center strictly speaking belongs to the Geological Museum.

    Qin Shiou, Osprey, Nelson, and Sanders strolled over to enter the interpretation center. This place mainly commemorates the Cambrian Explosion. There are many sponges, coelenterates, gill draggers, lobopods, brachiopods, molluscs,  Fossils of arthropods, echinoderms, and chordates.

    Everyone who is interested in biology is familiar with the Cambrian Explosion. Nowadays, the world¡¯s natural biological history recognizes that the evolution of earth¡¯s organisms is based on Darwin¡¯s ¡°Theory of Evolution.¡± However, what the ¡°Theory of Evolution¡± cannot explain is what happened during the Cambrian Explosion.  period.

    At this time, Sanders can show his effect. After entering the interpretation center, he talked eloquently and introduced various creatures to the three of them. No matter what appeared, he picked it up and quoted from other things. His lectures were much more exciting than the tour guide.  .

    When he reached the middle position, Qin Shiou suddenly saw a large group of strange-looking arthropods. These animals carried round carapace on their backs. The carapace was inlaid in layers, surrounded by organs that looked like arthropods, and their abdomens were still alive.  It has a mouth, and it looks so familiar to him - doesn't the black-capped giant insect look like this?

    Qin Shiou took a closer look. These animals are very famous. They are one of the famous trilobites and lived 500 million years ago.  The surrounding arthropod-like organs are not the legs of the giant worm, but are called costal segments, which can be seen as extended ribs.

    If you look closely, there are actually very big differences between this trilobite and the black-capped giant worm.??, but at a rough glance, the appearance is too similar, especially since they both have feeding organs in their abdomens. Qin Shiou can't help but associate them with each other.

    Seeing that he was paying attention to these trilobites, Sanders came over and explained: "Are you interested in these bugs? They are giant-shelled trilobites. Their numbers are relatively rare, and the time of their extinction has not yet been determined."

    Qin Shiou asked: "Are they not extinct yet?"

    Sanders laughed and said firmly: "No, absolutely impossible. The ocean environment 500 million years ago was completely different from today. The cell structure of trilobites is too simple and does not have the ability to evolve.  So they can't adapt to such environmental changes."

    Qin Shiou nodded and said nothing more. He just remembered the name Giant Shell Trilobite and planned to go back and study it carefully.

    When they arrived, there were more than a dozen tourists following the four people. These people thought Sanders was a tour guide. Someone asked: "Sir, how long have you been working here? Your knowledge is really rich."  "

    Sanders blinked and said hesitantly: "I don't work here. I used to be in Toronto and now I'm in St. John's"

    After such a small misunderstanding, there was not much time left before the train started. Qin Shiou decided to return early so as not to delay the train.

    His worries were correct. On the way back to the train station, when they were waiting at a red light at an intersection, a group of angry people suddenly walked over from the opposite side. This startled Qin Shiou, who thought it was a revenge attack by a society.  .

    Sanders was well-informed. He took one look and said firmly: "It's okay, boss. This is a recognized protest by the local paper mills. It is estimated that their salaries have been deferred or bonuses have not been paid."

    On the back side of Port aux Basques is a large area of ??fine woods, which is home to the largest concentration of paper mills in Newfoundland. The two factories ranked fourth and fifth in the Canadian paper industry are located here.

    However, at the beginning of this year, the fifth-ranked Hannibal Paper Mill declared bankruptcy, leaving thousands of unemployed workers and tens of millions in business debts to the local area.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
