Chapter 601 Diving into the Seabed
After reading all the information, Li Xuan put down his cell phone and closed his eyes slightly.
Five hundred and thirty million years ago, Chengjiang, which was the first to discover complete strange shrimp fossils, was a blue sea, and the ancestors of many animals lived in the sea.
However, due to geological movements, marine organisms died and became fossils after hundreds of millions of years of burial.
The animal fossils in Maotian Mountain belong to the early Cambrian fauna in eastern my country. It features the rare preservation of molluscs and is a world-famous fossil treasure house.
Since the first discovery of strange shrimp in Chengjiang Maotian Mountain in 1984.
There are currently more than 120 species of animal fossils identified in Chengjiang, which belong to more than ten animal phylas such as sponges, coelenterology, arthropods, and echinoderms, as well as some strange groups with unknown classification locations.
The Chengjiang animal fossil group fully demonstrates the diversity of early Cambrian creatures and reproduces the true appearance of marine organisms more than 500 million years ago.
Among them, the micronet worm is also called the Nine-eyed worm, and it is named because it has nine pairs of eyes.
The Cat Tianshan insect is a semi-cord animal.
Jellyfish are transparent cnidal animals.
In particular, the discovery of Yunnan insects in the crest cord is of great significance to the study of crest cord.
The strange shrimp, known as the overlord of the water, has very similar morphology to the common shrimp body, but it seems to lack a head and looks strange, so it is called strange shrimp.
In 1979, British biologists found a relatively complete fossil in the Hillgus shale specimen and named it the Spicy Shrimp.
It turned out to be a huge front-head appendage with a circular mouthpiece that solved the mystery for a century.
pity.
It's really a pity.
Li Xuan now could fully imagine how shocked Professor Li was when he saw the photo of the living shrimp.
At the same time, Li Xuan also understood why Professor Li didn't want to continue looking for the strange shrimp by himself.
The strange shrimp wandered away, and it was just like looking for a needle in a haystack.
What's more important is that Professor Li is concerned about the lives of himself and the crew members on the ship.
Li raised his head and looked towards the long-disappeared coast.
If nothing unexpected happens, Professor Li is already preparing for the scientific research boat and goes out to sea to find the strange shrimp.
But Li Xuan really can't help with this.
Even if you have an octopus clone, it is very difficult to find a marine creature that has a slow swimming speed and does not know its specific habits in such a vast ocean.
Moreover, if Li Xuan's octopus clone remains nearby as soon as the scientific research ship comes, it will definitely be detected by the advanced instruments on the scientific research ship.
After lying on the bed for a while, Li Xuan got up and walked towards the deck.
After breakfast, that guy Chen Bin couldn't wait to make a living again.
However, sonar detection on the ship showed that this was a shallow sea, and the terrain on the seabed was high and low, which was obviously like a coral reef, and was not suitable for casting nets.
"Do you want to go down the sea to see?" Li Xuan asked Chen Bin with a smile, who was like himself who proposed to cast a net.
When Chen Bin heard this, his eyes lit up.
Undersea operation is an important source of income for Li Xuan.
But for the crew, that's the best entertainment.
The time of sailing on the sea is so boring, with the same blue sky and white clouds, and the ever-magnificent sea.
But under the sea, there are countless scenery that you can't get tired of looking at no matter how you look at it.
"Are you going to do underwater operations? Brother Xuan, I have to continue this trip." Chen Bin said immediately.
Li Xuan nodded with a smile, "Okay, go and arrange people. We will take a look under the water nearby to see if we can find any fishing catch."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now." As he said that, Chen Bin stood up and patted his palms a few times. "Brothers, come and gather. We're going to do our homework under the sea."
When the other crew members on the boat heard this, their eyes lit up and they quickly ran towards this side.
Someone was stunned.
The man was Zhou Dashui. He looked at Li Xuan in confusion, "When we fish, do we still need someone to catch him under the water?"
Chen Bin chuckled, "If you don't want to go down, no one will force you."
Li Xuan smiled and shook his head, explaining: "There are relatively advanced diving equipment on the boat. If you don't stay under the water for too long, you can basically hold on to the safety of people and will not leave any sequelae of occupational diseases. Diving and fishing have always been the main source of income when we go out to sea to fish. Many rare seafood and rare treasures can only be fished through the bottom of the water."
Zhou Dashui nodded in surprise, and then asked, "Does everyone want to go down this diving fishing?"
"No, go down voluntarily, and even if everyone wants to go down, there are not so many sets of diving equipment on the boat. If all go down, the efficiency will be lower, because some people on the boat are also responsible for picking up the catches caught by the people who go down the sea." Li Xuan said.
Zhou Dashui nodded in a clear way, indicating that he understood.
At this time, Chen Bin also determined the candidate for underwater fishing this time, and then brought people out of the cabin to bring out a set of diving equipment.
Li Xuan dressed up his diving equipment and was the first to dive into the water.
Just when he was having breakfast, Li Xuan had already controlled the octopus clone and patrolled the seabed. There were basically no creatures that could threaten the crew on the seabed. Moreover, there were not many species on the seabed. Li Xuan even saw a fat sea cucumber as big as the sole of the shoe, which was a very valuable treasure.
The other crew members also followed Li Xuan and went into the water one after another.
After diving into the sea, except for Li Xuan himself and Yang Hua, the rest of them all spread out in groups and looked for valuable seafood.
Li Xuan himself dived vertically towards the seabed.
After reaching the bottom of the sea, a colorful thing scared Li Xuan directly.
It turned out to be a sea snake.
And it is the most poisonous, with a circle of black and white on the body, and looks like a big earthworm.
However, Li Xuan quickly calmed down. One of the most basic functions of the diving equipment he was wearing was to protect the biting of the sea snake.
For other fishermen, the sea snake that is no less than the death talisman of the King of Hell, is not a very dangerous marine life for Li Xuan.
However, it is always a scourge to keep this sea snake.
