Chapter 385： The first polar expedition (2 in 1)

., the fastest update to the latest chapter of my pet beast super fierce!

"Park ahead."

While on the way, Chen Yixin's voice suddenly came from the headset.

More than a dozen all-terrain snowmobiles stopped one after another on the leeward of several snowy mountains.

Today is the third day of the scientific research team crossing the Antarctic. The passion of galloping in the polar region slowly cooled down. Today, except for Chen Yixin's simple instructions, everyone has no interest in chatting.

"Ha!"

At this moment, a red-feathered Fire Phoenix's Pheasant hovered and fell down.

After fighting with the Holy Source Society, the seven Fire Phoenix pheasants of the Fire Phoenix Army took turns to perform the investigation work.

Although in the weather like Antarctica, long-term flight reconnaissance is a great burden for them, but for the sake of everyone's safety, they can only be wronged first.

Looking at Zhao Li who was feeding the fire phoenix pheasant, Shao Zifeng wondered whether to let the little guys out. After all, it felt quite uncomfortable without them.

But after thinking about it, I gave up. Those little guys have just gone through a big battle, let them relax in the petting space.

"then."

At this time, Cang Haiyuan's voice came from the headset, and Shao Zifeng subconsciously took what he had thrown.

"Thanks."

Shao Zifeng raised the army green packaging bag in his hand, but he was not polite.

"Seeing that you eat compressed biscuits every day, that thing is not very nutritious. Is it possible that you have to lose weight?

Cang Haiyuan took the military rations and walked to Shao Zifeng and sat down on the snow. After opening the bag, he grabbed a few handfuls of snow from the ground and stuffed it inside.

After doing all this, Cang Haiyuan lay lazily on the ground, stretched out his hand to open the helmet and mask, shivered all over, muttering in his mouth: "This ghost is really cold."

"The main reason is that I'm afraid of trouble." Shao Zifeng followed him and sat next to him: "Besides, I'm not too picky about what I eat."

"Come on."

Cang Haiyuan tilted his head and looked at him and curled his lips: "Isn't it the first time I came to this place and I was nervous. You can bring more compressed biscuits if they take up less space, I understand."

Shao Zifeng didn't feel embarrassed after being broken by Cang Haiyuan. In fact, he did have this concern in his heart.

Because of the long-distance travel, except for necessities such as tents, the food space that each person can carry is strictly calculated.

The first time I came to the Polar Region, I was afraid of being starved to death, so when choosing food, Shao Zifeng chose compressed biscuits that were smaller and more convenient to carry.

"help me."

Seeing that Shao Zifeng didn't speak any more, Cang Haiyuan, wearing a thick protective suit, opened his pockets with one hand, and with the other hand supporting the ground, he turned sideways to face Shao Zifeng.

Shao Zifeng glanced, took out the tin box from his pocket and handed it to Cang Haiyuan: "What's so good about this thing."

Cang Haiyuan took the iron box, carefully patted the snow off his gloves, took out one under his nose and took a deep breath, closing his eyes with a satisfied expression.

"You don't understand, this is my life."

"It's a pity to buy less in Zealand, now only these are left."

Shao Zifeng shook his head. He still remembered taking a sip when the ball was injured, and almost choked him to death that time.

Putting the cigarette under his nose and smelling it for a while, Cang Haiyuan reluctantly repacked the cigarette into the metal box and put it into his pocket like a baby.

Picking up the military ration packaging bag that was so hot that it expanded, Cang Haiyuan took off his gloves and took out the food wrapped in tin foil.

"By the way, we are going to climb the mountain together...ha, this assorted fried rice is still so fragrant."

"Up the mountain?"

"Don't keep going?"

"You Kangkang, Susen is so flustered..."

Cang Haiyuan gasped, while speaking slurredly.

Shao Zifeng looked at it for a week.

Where.

Polar chant.

However, the landform here is indeed a bit different from other places. It is not the rolling mountains that are common in the Antarctic continent, but independent snow peaks.

Perhaps because it is in the summer of Antarctica, most of the snow peaks here are covered with a thin layer of snow, and you can even see the dark brown mountain rocks below.

Seeing the doubt in Shao Zifeng's eyes, Cang Haiyuan opened another bag of meat with plums and vegetables.

"I'm afraid I was silly on the road, forgetting why we came here?"

"Scientific examination."

"Yeah, we are not here for sightseeing. Professor Chen said that the landforms here are unique, maybe something can be found." Cang Haiyuan patted Shao Zifeng on the shoulder, and said with pride: "Young man, Guang It’s not good to be able to fight, you have to learn more from your predecessors."

Shao Zifeng curled his lips, this person's eyes were really small.

It's been so long and still hold grudges.

Smelling the fragrance in the air, Shao Zifeng couldn't help taking a bite of the braised pork in his hand.

Fat but not greasy, slightly sweet in the mouth, soft and melted in the mouth.

It smells so good!

......

"Wait, you only need to search for the rocks on the surface. Try not to damage the main body of the mountain with tools."

"There are basically no people in this kind of place, as long as you are careful, you will basically get something.

"Don't go there, try to go to the leeward zone."

Yang Qi took the climbing pick and walked in front of the two of them, and walked up.

Although tired, but over and over again, impatiently telling them the precautions.

He is a good person, just a bit of an old mother character.

Shao Zifeng glanced back and found that they had reached halfway up the mountain, and they were mostly covered in snow.

On another mountain not far away, you can vaguely see Chen Yixin and the others. Seven soldiers of the Fire Phoenix Army surrounded Chen Yixin and them, and climbed up to the low peak at the speed of a tortoise.

When grouping together before going up the mountain, Chen and Yixin wanted to pull Shao Zifeng together.

But because of the seven Fire Phoenix Army soldiers, he decisively accepted Cang Haiyuan's invitation.

The peaks they chose this time were not very high, and the **** was relatively gentle, but the stop-and-go was inevitably slower.

"what."

At this moment, Yang Qi, who was chattering endlessly, suddenly gave a whisper, crouched down and used a climbing pick to mash things on the ground.

Shao Zifeng was a little curious about these ancient creatures. He hurried forward and stared at Yang Qi's movements curiously.

Yang Qi dug out a stone and studied it for a while, and knocked it with a climbing pick, and the whole stone was neatly separated from the side.

In the middle of the flat section, there is a dark brown spiral shape.

"Do you know what this is?"

Yang Qi pointed to the spiral object, just like a teacher.

Ok.

It's a bit like Olivier in children's anime.

Shao Zifeng thought for a while, and decided not to utter his thoughts.

Cang Haiyuan's ambition was not here, his restless little hand hesitated nowhere to put it between reaching into his pocket and not reaching it.

Yang Qi was not angry when he saw this, and said to himself: "This is an ammonite, a subclass of the mollusk phylum Cephalopod. It is an extinct marine invertebrate that lived in the Middle Ordovician. To the Late Cretaceous... Ammonites are usually divided into 9 orders, about 80 superfamilies, about 280 families and about 2000 genera, as well as many species and subspecies. It is a close relative of Nautilus..."

Shao Zifeng watched the chattering, Yang Qi, who seemed to memorize a text, couldn't help but interrupt: "Can this fossil also recover?"

"Uh..." Yang Qi was taken aback by Shao Zifeng's question, and then explained: "With the current research progress of our team, we can only recover the frozen corpses for the time being, and the preservation of the corpses is almost impossible."

"Like the Ice Plain Sabretooth Tiger that has been successfully recovered, it is a complete frozen corpse."

"However, the next step of research has been started before, but it is temporarily shelved because of the inability of the Icefield Sabretooth Tiger to grow."

Shao Zifeng was a little puzzled.

"No, I found a fossil egg before, and Professor Chen said it can be recovered."

"You said this." Yang Qi nodded.

"Theoretically speaking, a well-preserved fossil egg does have a high chance of resuscitation and hatching, but you have to be clear about the difference between a fossil and a fossil egg." He pointed to the ammonite in his hand: "Just like this ammonite fossil. If you use the existing technology to recover, you will only get an ammonite shell, but it has no life. Do you understand that?"

"Fossils are older because they are older, and basically only bones and carapace are preserved."

"If the technology can break through again, then as long as there is dna, it will be able to recover, then maybe it will be possible to recover fossils."

Shao Zifeng nodded noncommittal.

In fact, it’s right to think about it carefully. After all, the ‘unknown recovery’ has only been more than 20 years old. Apart from the chaos and disorder in the first few years, it has not been long for all mankind to study mutant organisms.

For example, he discovered the Hanchuan Iron Mine before. After dozens of hundreds of years, he has passed away. Many things have passed the time limit for confidentiality. At that time, he may still be able to write history books.

The father of elemental weapons?

Thinking about it this way, it's a little bit sensational.

At this moment, he remembered the amber he had given to Chen Yixin and asked, "What about the amber? I remember that the creatures in the amber were sealed, and they can always recover."

"amber."

Yang Qi said uncertainly: "Amber shouldn't work either. Although the cause of amber is resin, it is classified as a special fossil in academia..."

"But in this way, the principle of amber is the same as that of fossil eggs... But if we can, why is our research topic not involved..."

Yang Qi, who had been chattering endlessly, suddenly fell silent, seeming to be thinking about some problems.

Looking at Yang Qi who was lost in thought, Shao Zifeng said nothing.

The reason for asking this is because he received energy feedback when he saw Amber.

Although I have never seen a frozen corpse of a creature, I think it will contain energy to be able to recover successfully.

This is something that fossils do not possess.

Zizi.

At this time, with the sound of electricity, Chen Yixin's voice rang in the headset.

"Why don't you move anymore, have you found anything."

"Professor." Yang Qi suddenly came back to his senses: "I found an ammonite fossil, which is relatively intact... It's pretty good. I was explaining the formation and classification of fossils with my fellow Zifeng...Professor Chen rest assured ."

Hearing Chen Yixin's question, Yang Qi began to chatter again.

Chen Yixin seems to have gotten used to his character too, and faintly replied: "Well, it's windy at the top of the mountain, so be careful."

"professor."

Just when Chen Yixin was about to cut off the call, Yang Qi suddenly stopped Chen Yixin.

"What else is there."

"That... I want to ask why there is no amber-related research in our research topic."

"It stands to reason that the biological preservation in the amber is more complete. I just thought about it. With the previous technical reserves, the research should not be very difficult."

Chen Yixin didn't answer Yang Qi's question immediately, and there was silence in the headset, which made Yang Qi a little flustered.

There was some regret in his heart, and he asked directly in front of so many people whether the professor questioned whether he was questioning her.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Shao Zifeng watching a play next to him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I didn't question what the professor meant. The main reason is that Zifeng's younger brother is curious about this aspect, and I haven't worked on a related topic before I can't answer it, so I want to ask the professor."

Shao Zifeng:? ? ?

Do not.

I am not curious.

But soon, Chen Yixin's answer came from the headset.

"Amber's words are indeed easier than directly conquering fossils."

"But you have to know that Amber's journey is due to resin, which determines that it is difficult to save most of the creatures that are accidental against mosquitoes."

"To put it bluntly, it is too small. The creatures inside are generally small insects such as mosquitoes. Occasionally, there are animal ambers and most of them are stumps, which don't have much research value."

"Because our country is not the main producing area of ​​amber, and the quality of the amber produced is not very good, it is difficult for us to obtain a large amount of high-quality research materials."

Speaking of this, Chen Yixin paused for a moment and continued: "However, if Xiaofeng is interested in this, I happen to have the amber you sent here. We can try to start preliminary research when we have time."

At this time, Shao Zifeng was a little confused.

Although I am interested in ancient creatures , I am not interested in the research itself!

Just looking at Yang Qi's expectant eyes, he couldn't refuse, so he pinched his nose and agreed.

"Since it's okay, continue to investigate, and find more fossil samples as a reserve."

"Good professor."

Yang Qi turned off the communication happily and put the ammonite into his backpack.

"Little brother Zifeng, if you are bored, look around. We can find more fossils than anyone else." After speaking, he took the climbing pick, and continued Bara up without raising his head.

Ah.

naive.

Do you think I am a kid?

The game or something.

Fossil King, I am determined!

"Hey, Lao Cang, are you going?"

"Go, I want to think about life."

At this time, Cang Haiyuan, who had been offline, was finally overcome by desire. He eagerly took out the iron box from his pocket, and sat down on the ground, smelling intoxicated.

Shao Zifeng twitched the corner of his mouth, picked up his climbing pick and walked to the top of the mountain.

Three hours later, Shao Zifeng looked at the stones in front of him with a black line.

According to identification, these are just ordinary stones.

Shao Zifeng was unwilling to pick up a piece and put it in his hand.

These stones are ordinary, and the shapes are obviously very curious and easy to cut.

Look at this, it's chubby.

Much like a ball in a ball.

Maybe they are Qiuqiu's half-sisters.

And this, isn’t the pattern on this mysterious?

Thinking wildly, he picked up the stone and threw it aside.

Shao Zifeng, who was just about to leave, had a pause in his footsteps.

He lowered his head and looked at his feet, the expression on his face gradually becoming serious.

Just beside the footprints on his hiking boots, there are several footprints.

He is familiar with this footprint.

Similar to birds, but thicker and thicker.
