Chapter 159: Bamboo Sea, Digging Bamboo Shoots, Major Discovery! (35)

The Malayan flying fox left, and the rest of the bats also flew out of the cave.

Outside, Dahei was carrying a Malayan flying fox with a look of despair on his face.

This Malayan flying fox lay on it and licked its fur with its tongue.

The archaeological team continued to work, and Su Ran explained the principle to the fans: "In fact, I applied the collected nectar on Dahei at the beginning."

“This is a delicacy that the Malayan flying fox really likes.”

After hearing Su Ran's words, the audience realized that the so-called beauty trap was nothing more than the temptation of food.

Three more local archaeological teams were sent for follow-up excavation work, and it took a total of one week to excavate the entire dinosaur fossil.

In subsequent research, based on the information provided by Su Ran, the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences unanimously analyzed and believed that the North American Tyrannosaurus Rex may have originated in East Asia such as Liaoxi, China.

This is exactly the opposite of the previous view in the paleontological research community that Tyrannosaurus Rex migrated from North America to Asia!
This also made people on the Internet feel pleasantly surprised.

"So, does this mean that the Tyrannosaurus Rex originated from China?"

"It's amazing. I didn't expect that Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in our country before."

The news spread more and more widely on the Internet. Deng Jiaying also participated in the research and specially brought the news to Su Ran.

"The Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil discovered this time may be the largest and earliest Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil in the world."

"As a very ferocious large carnivorous dinosaur at the time, with large and sharp teeth, it was a giant Tyrannosaurus rex from the Early Cretaceous."

"It is 10 meters long, with the head alone being 1 meter long. The features of its fossil skull and ilium are different from those of other Tyrannosaurus rex, representing a new genus and species."

Aunt Wang asked excitedly whether dinosaur fossils were very precious.

Su Ran nodded happily upon hearing this: "Dinosaur fossils are already very rare, and the fossils we discovered this time are new species that two generations of Chinese paleontologists have been searching for for 40 years across the country."

"Two generations of scientists before this had only discovered fossils such as Tyrannosaurus Rex teeth in Shandong and other places, and all of them were from the Late Cretaceous."

"In the past, paleontological researchers always believed that Tyrannosaurus Rex migrated from North America to Asia. The discovery of this fossil may prove that Tyrannosaurus Rex originated in East Asia, then expanded to the North American continent and developed into the pinnacle of the tyrannosaur world - Tyrannosaurus Rex."

Aunt Wang is not stupid. She understood what Su Ran meant. "In other words, our country is one of the main places in the world where Tyrannosaurus Rex evolved?"

Although Su Ran did not give a 100% answer, he basically confirmed it.

When it comes to the origin and even development of Tyrannosaurus Rex, it will take a period of research and sufficient evidence to prove it.

There is sufficient factual evidence to prove it, so it is useless even if the outside world refuses to agree.

"Tyrannosaurus is at the top of the food chain, there are very few of them, and even fewer of them can become fossils," Deng Jiaying said, "and Tyrannosaurus is an ancestor of dinosaurs."

"The Tyrannosaurus Rex we discovered this time is the direct ancestor of Tyrannosaurus Rex, Tarbosaurus, Zhucheng Tyrannosaurus and other Late Cretaceous tyrannosaurus."

"The reign of Tyrannosaurus rex began at least 1.2 million years ago in the Early Cretaceous."

Basically, this is enough to fully prove that China is the true origin of Tyrannosaurus Rex.

However, Su Ran was not too concerned about this, because right now he just wanted to know how to deal with the fossils of Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The city's leadership team is currently arguing with the capital's scientific expedition team over the whereabouts of the Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils.

"I absolutely disagree with taking away the Tyrannosaurus fossil. It was found in our forest and has extraordinary significance for the forest."

"And if we really want to talk about the first discoverer, it was Comrade Su Ran."

The members of the leadership team unanimously decided that instead of letting the fossils be taken away by people from the capital, it would be better to let Su Ran look after the dinosaur fossils in the name of the first discoverer.

"What? You mean the dinosaur fossils and so on will be placed directly in my Linhai Museum after it is built?"

Su Ran looked at Zhao Youcai in surprise. She didn't expect that such a decision would be made.

Zhao Youcai said: "This is a compromise. The Capital Museum wants to receive the fossils, but we don't want them to take them away."

"If it wasn't with you, the Capital Archaeological Team would have a lot to say about it. But now, since you are the first discoverer of the fossil, even if they want to argue, they have no reason to do so."

"So in the end, it's the clams fighting each other, and I, the fisherman, get the benefit, right?" Su Ran said happily.

"That's pretty much it."

Su Ran has been in a very good mood these days.

It was not entirely because of the news brought by Zhao Youcai. Apart from the fact that he discovered dinosaur fossils, many reporters wanted to interview him.

The biggest reason is that Li Manchuan dug a lot of bamboo shoots from the forest today.

Although the Northeast region is not the main growing area for bamboo, bamboo shoots do exist.

After carrying the bamboo basket up the mountain, Su Ran walked briskly, as if he was walking on flat ground on the uneven hillside.

Because it was still morning, the air in the mountains was very fresh and it was especially quiet.

After climbing over several hills, Su Ran discovered a bamboo forest in a forest.

"Look, everyone, these are all bamboos growing in the forest. There is no end in sight. This is a unique scenery in the forest."

Su Ran said happily, controlling the drone to slowly fly into the air, and the images captured by the camera were transmitted to the live broadcast room.

In this green world, the bamboo forest stands quietly with its unique posture. The sunlight shines through the dense bamboo leaves, casting mottled light and shadows. When the breeze blows, the bamboo leaves sway gently, making a rustling sound.

From time to time, a few birds fly into the bamboo forest. They sing happily on the branches or jump lightly, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet bamboo forest.

The green of the picture is surprisingly beautiful, and it is pleasing to the eyes just by looking at it, not to mention how comfortable and relaxing it would be to be in it. Su Ran is lucky to have this. When fans see him taking a deep breath, they also subconsciously imitate Su Ran's breathing.

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a large bamboo forest in the forest."

"Su Shen, this is not a bamboo forest, it's actually a bamboo sea."

"Since there are bamboo forests in places like this, will there be pandas?"

panda?

Su Ran shook his head calmly and smiled: "Compared to the south, this bamboo forest is not large at all. It can't be called a bamboo sea. Moreover, the terrain of the forest sea, especially our Qijiaqiao area, has a relatively warm climate."

"If it was in Heijiang, there would be no bamboo forest. Even if we have one here, you have discovered along the way that it is rare to find places where bamboo can grow. Not to mention pandas. It is impossible."

The scattered bamboos in the forest, whether wild or once artificially cultivated, have been able to grow to the present day and basically have a certain degree of cold resistance.

It’s just that the bamboo in the north is very thin, and the bamboo shoots will definitely not be big.

Su Ran walked into the bamboo forest. As the wind blew, the needle-like leaves of the wild bamboo forest fluttered and danced.

But their bodies still stand straight and reach into the sky.

Su Ran suddenly squatted down, staring at the prompt on the ground, and his voice echoed in the quiet bamboo forest: "Look, there is probably a bamboo shoot growing here, but it's not full enough."

"Ah, where is it? Why didn't I notice it?"

"Where are the bamboos? Where did they come from?"

"There's nothing here, nothing but a bunch of fallen leaves. God Su, you must have X-ray vision, right?"

"Brother Su must be trying to trick us. If there really were bamboo shoots here, I wouldn't even bother standing upside down to eat Ori, I'd just give you three rockets."

"Brother, you don't believe in Su Shen? Hurry up and prepare the gifts."

Seeing that netizens didn't believe that he had found bamboo shoots, Su Ran said confidently: "Okay, don't be surprised when I dig out bamboo shoots later."

As he spoke, Su Ran took out a small hoe from his backpack and swung it hard under the bamboo forest.

The hoe that went deep into the ground touched something hard. Seeing this, Su Ran smiled and tried to push it out.

After the surface soil is lifted up, the bamboo shoots hidden in the soil are instantly exposed to the air.

After poking away the dirt on the surface of the bamboo shoots, Su Ran took a fresh bamboo shoot in her hand: "I have to say, compared to digging mushrooms, the process of digging bamboo shoots is actually more stress-relieving and more interesting."

"The feeling of achievement when you dig out the bamboo shoots is incomparable to anything else."

Su Ran weighed the bamboo shoots in his hand and couldn't help but sigh, "The only pity is that the wild bamboo shoots in the forest are not full due to the climate. They are long and pointed, and the taste is not as good as those in the south."

The audience doesn't think so.

"Brother Su, it's good enough that we can dig up bamboo shoots. If it were in our mountain, I wouldn't be able to find any big bamboo shoots even if there were any."

"Su Shen is being so pretentious again, please stop pretending."

"Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry. We really can't compare ourselves to Su Shen."

After staying in the bamboo forest and digging for a while, Su Ran harvested a large basket of bamboo shoots.

"Although these bamboo shoots may not be as delicious as those in the south, as long as they are cooked properly, they won't be that bad."

Hearing Su Ran say this, the audience couldn't help but think of his cooking skills.

They really believed that even giving Su Ran a leather shoe sole could make it delicious.

The gentle breeze made the bamboo forest rustle.

The bamboo shoots were almost picked. After inserting the small hoe into the backpack, Su Ran stretched lazily: "The air in the forest is filled with a fresh scent, which is the unique fragrance of bamboo. It feels particularly cleansing and makes people feel peaceful and harmonious."

Looking at Su Ran's leisurely appearance, the audience in the live broadcast room were fascinated.

They all brought small stools and drank tea in front of a few bare bamboos behind their homes.

It seems like I want to be leisurely, but there's always something missing.

Forget it, I might as well watch Su Shen’s live broadcast.

On the way back, netizens wanted to see more of the scenery in the forest.

Su Ran also took them to some places he had never been to.

The scenery in the mountains is very nice.

Just looking at it from the perspective of drone aerial photography, it is truly a paradise.

But once you really go inside, you will inevitably encounter all kinds of poisonous insects and wild beasts.

Su Ran controlled the drone to fly through the forest at an extremely fast speed. The buzzing sound caused by the high-speed rotation of the rotors swept along the way.

The small animals in the forest couldn't help but stare curiously at the black lump passing over their heads.

When the drone swooped down from under the low cliffs, a charred tree that appeared in the camera suddenly attracted Su Ran's attention.
