Chapter 142 Life

The camel led Bi Fang to the distance, moving slowly in the desert, wobbling, wobbling, wobbling until it disappeared into the yellow sand.

He only told everyone the direction and distance of the well, other than that, he didn't ask or ask for anything, as if Gu Qingyuan and others had never been here.

"I lie on my back in the world, no house, no tent, so free, no worries, my life is worth such a moment." Song Yanning looked at the disappearing back with a gloomy gaze.

"What?" Gu Qingyuan was stunned.

"Thomas Bernhard's "Summer", written with emotion."

Gu Qingyuan tasted the sentence just now, and agreed very much: "I really didn't expect that he refused so simply, I still want to persuade him."

But Bi Fang convinced him with just one sentence.

"If I get in the car, what's the difference from calling the rescue? I'm lucky enough to survive, please let me finish the ending beautifully!"

Gu Qingyuan recalled his memory and waved his hand: "Don't talk, don't talk, the business is important, first send Tiktarik to the laboratory, and then we will go to the field for investigation."

"Is this fish so important? There are many new species discovered every year, right?" Song Yanning followed behind.

"Of course it is important. Its existence is already a treasure in evolution, and it will open up a new research world for the theory and practice of paleontology and evolutionary biology!"

Gu Qingyuan hurriedly called the team members to carry the strange fish into the car: "Be careful, it's big, bear with it."

In fact, he didn't tell Song Yanning one thing. Compared with the significance of evolution, perhaps this discovery has greater significance in molecular biology.

This is also the real reason why the above has to obtain entities regardless of animal protection.

The genome of the lungfish contains about 43 billion DNA base pairs, the largest among all animals sequenced so far, and the genome is fourteen times that of humans!

What about Tiktaalik, which is similar to it?

Will there be more?

Such a huge genome may hide the mystery of life evolution...

On the back of the camel, Bi Fang wrapped himself tightly, and the strange fish was taken away, so he could go on the journey on the camel, which was a lot easier.

The weight of a single-humped camel is generally between 160 and 200 kilograms. It is not difficult to carry a strange fish, but it can no longer sit on people.

Now, the burden is lightened for both parties.

Moreover, the arrival of Professor Gu also explained a lot of information.

"Professor Gu and the others came here in a jeep, and based on the time calculation, the town they set out from will not be too far away. This shows that our survival is almost successful, and we are about to reach the human settlement. Tonight if it is fast, or if it is slow Just tomorrow."

[Honestly speaking, when Lao Fang said that I refused, he was handsome with a billion points]

[Fang Shen looks so handsome in rejecting people! 】

【No! I reject! 】

[Is this the world of the strong? 】

[I'm strong, bear with me. 】

【Tyrand presents a spaceship to the anchor*1——This is the best live stream I have ever seen, Bollywood movies are so weak compared to you!】

[? ? ? Where did the guy upstairs come from? 】

[Wai Guoren came to watch Fangshen's live broadcast? Who can do a good translation? 】

[This buddy said that this is the most exciting live broadcast he has ever seen, Hollywood movies and Fang Shen are even weaker than each other! 】

[Awesome! 】

Bi Fang traveled extensively in his previous life, and often read some academic research reports. Naturally, his English is not bad, and he can understand it. He immediately expressed his gratitude in English, which showed the faces of the water friends again.

Lao Fang really knows everything, outrageous!

There will be foreigners over the wall to watch his live broadcast. Even Bi Fang himself didn't expect it. He thought that at most he just watched his edited videos. There are really fans abroad?

The development is getting faster and faster.

But it's normal. I'm still wandering around in the country. Maybe it won't be long before I go abroad to explore. At that time, foreign channels will also need to be opened up, and the number of his foreign fans will explode. Compared with now, the income will be much higher. More than double!

Time passed and the sun began to sink again.

It was already past five in the afternoon.

From dizziness to headache, Bi Fang's condition has deteriorated visibly to the naked eye. In addition, he bled a lot, and his face was as pale as paper.

Camels are best at advancing at a speed of 15 to 25 kilometers per hour. It doesn’t matter if they don’t rest for 4 days and 4 nights. This speed is three to five times that of humans.

Today, Bi Fang probably walked more than 80 kilometers, and there are many sand dunes that need to be bypassed, but judging from the straight line, it should be more than 30 kilometers, which is already quite a distance.

The entire Qaidam Basin is only about 800 kilometers long from east to west, 300 kilometers wide from north to south, and the desert area is only one third.

The hope of survival is at hand.

Bi Fang straightened his body and stared into the distance.

In the distance, there was a desert full of yellow sand, but suddenly a different color appeared, it was brown, and there were bushes in order!

Among the bushes in the net-like desert, a black railroad track lies in the sand like a dragon.

"It's the railway!"

Bi Fang was overjoyed and let the camel speed up. When he came to the railroad tracks, he was completely relieved when he saw the intact sleepers and the new railroad tracks.

Not an abandoned railway.

The water friends are completely convinced.

【Ah, this is a real hope of survival, not by luck! 】

[The railroad tracks have appeared, so as long as you keep walking along them, you will meet people sooner or later]

[Too strong, yyds! 】

[King of Survival! The world's number one explorer! King of Kings! 】

Along the railway track, Bi Fang slowed down and began to summarize this adventure.

"After arriving here, our survival mission can basically be said to be completed. I have to say that this experience is really quite magical. Among them, the most joyful thing for me is not the success of survival, but the discovery of prehistoric creatures."

"The moment I discovered Tiktaalik, I was really excited, and I felt an unparalleled sense of pride."

As he spoke, Bi Fang had a smile on his face.

You have been here, I witness.

Even if there is no trace of you left in the sky, you have flown and I have recorded it.

How lucky.

"There are more than 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, and the Milky Way is only one of about 140 billion galaxies, but even if the universe is so huge, the only place known to have living things is the Earth."

"On Earth, from the deepest trench to the highest mountaintop, the entire range of known life is only 28 kilometers thick. Compared with the vast universe, what is this?"

The sky gradually darkened, the bright moon rose, and the silver light spread everywhere.

The stars are shining.

Bi Fang walked more and more slowly, as if reluctant to give up.

"The history of life is a story of mass culling followed by breed differentiation among the few survivors, not the story of constant optimization, complexity, and diversification that is commonly thought of.

"Earth has witnessed five major extinction events, in the Ordovician, Devonian, Permian, Triassic and Cretaceous periods, in that order, and many smaller extinction events."

"In every mass extinction event, 70%-85% of species will become extinct. In the Permian, more than 95% of animals left the field and never came back."

"We need to know that if a species wants to form a fossil and preserve it, the probability that it will be discovered and recorded by humans is very small."

“Humans have only one thing in common with other living things, and that is that for nearly three and a half billion years, at every necessary moment, our ancestors have slipped through every door that was about to close—on a trillion trillion Not once did a pivotal moment that could erase us from history fail."

"This is the miracle of life!"

Bi Fang stopped the camel and looked at the starry sky.

far away.

The roads are criss-crossed and brightly lit.
