Chapter 1271

Now there are few recommended votes. I hope brothers and sisters who still have votes can vote. Thank you****

After saying goodbye to Cameron, Qin Shiou was ready to get on the helicopter and return to the fishing ground. As a result, the Osprey had just started. A row of red lights suddenly lit up on the helicopter bridge and a harsh beep sounded.

Qin Shiou encountered this situation for the first time. He was sitting on the co pilot to close his eyes and refresh himself. He was so excited that his heart beat disorderly. He quickly asked, "what's the matter, man?"

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

Qin Shiou thought it better to be cautious. He said, "forget it, osprey, we'd better leave this thing here and let the people of aviation city deal with it. Let's not take the risk. Let's take the train back to St. Johns. "

There is no airport in Basque port. The nearest airport is St. Anthony in the north. In this case, it's better to go back by train.

The Osprey looked relaxed and said, "that's not a big problem, boss. I can do it. I dare to open the engine cooling pipe when I was on a mission in the army."

"But I dare not die." Qin Shiou really said that he is the God of the sea, not the God of the sky. The sky is not his territory. In case of any problems with the helicopter in the air, he will lose more than he gains.

The Osprey shrugged, took out his mobile phone and bought four train tickets from Basque port to St. Johns.

The transportation in Canada is similar to that in the United States. Airports are built everywhere. Aviation has become the simplest and effective means of travel, with low price, high safety and fast speed, while train transportation has become a medium and high-grade means of travel.

This is a huge difference in transportation between developed and developing countries. Take Canada for example, the coverage rate of domestic highways is more than 80%. Except where the north is close to the Arctic, highways have been built in other regions, and almost all of them are used free of charge.

In this way, people will choose aircraft for long-distance travel. Short distance is to drive by themselves, so the train will naturally have no market.

Train transportation companies, such as Pacific Railway, are traditional large enterprises in Canada. After they were aware of the crisis, they timely changed the industry and turned train travel into an enjoyment activity.

Newfoundland's train coverage is relatively low. After all, it is a large island living alone overseas. Sea transportation is the most important thing. Then there are aviation and roads, and railways account for a small share.

But even so, the railway transportation in Newfoundland is still quite developed. The railway station in Basque port is built like a castle. The waiting room is tall and spacious, and the whole is warm yellow wind. In this way, you can feel a trace of warmth even in winter.

At the railway station, Qin Shiou looked at the time. It was more than an hour before the departure. He didn't want to sit in the railway station. He bought a map at the newspaper booth at the entrance of the station and found that there was a interpretation center not far away, called the golden nail interpretation center.

Newfoundland's interpretation center can also be said to be a museum, memorial hall, art museum, etc. anyway, the place where someone explains is called the interpretation center. Strictly speaking, this interpretation center belongs to the geological museum.

Qin Shiou, osprey, Nelson and Sanders strolled into the interpretation center. It is mainly to commemorate the Cambrian outbreak. There are many fossils of sponges, coelenterates, gill traction animals, leafpods, brachiopods, mollusks, arthropods, echinoderms and spinal cord animals.

People engaged in biology are familiar with the Cambrian outbreak. It is now recognized in the history of world natural biology that the earth's biological evolution is based on Darwin's theory of evolution, but what the theory of evolution cannot explain is the period of the Cambrian outbreak.

At this time, Sanders can show his role. After entering the interpretation center, he talked freely and introduced a variety of creatures to the three people. No matter what appeared, he came at his fingertips, solicited information from others, and talked much better than the guide.

When he reached the middle position, Qin Shiou suddenly saw a large area of strange arthropods. These animals carried round crustaceans, in which the crustaceans were inlaid layer by layer, surrounded by organs like arthropods, and a mouth on the abdomen, which made him familiar - isn't the black lid giant like this?

Qin Shiou took a closer look. These animals are very famous. They belong to one of the famous trilobites and lived 500 million years ago. The surrounding arthropod like organs are not the feet of the black lid giant, but are called rib nodes, which can be regarded as extended ribs.

If you look closely, this trilobite is actually very different from the black lid giant, but it looks too similar in appearance. In particular, they all have eating organs in their abdomen. Qin Shiou can't help but associate them.

Seeing that he noticed the trilobites, Sanders came over and explained, "are you interested in these insects? They are giant shell trilobites, the number is relatively rare, and the extinction time is not clear. "

Qin Shiou asked, "will they not be extinct now?"

Sanders smiled and said firmly, "no, it's impossible. The marine environment 500 million years ago is very different from now. The cell structure of trilobites is too simple to have changeable evolutionary ability, so they can't adapt to such environmental changes."

Qin Shiou nodded without saying anything. He just wrote down the name of giant shell trilobite in his heart and planned to go back and study it.

At the back, there were a dozen tourists behind the four. These people thought Sanders was a tour guide. Someone asked, "Sir, how long have you worked here?"? Your knowledge is so rich. "

Sanders blinked and said hesitantly, "I don't work here. I used to work in Toronto and now in St. Johns..."

After such a small misunderstanding, there was not much time to drive the train. Qin Shiou decided to return early and don't delay the train.

His worry was correct. On the way back to the railway station, when they were waiting for a red light at an intersection, a group of angry people suddenly came across, which startled Qin Shiou and thought it was an act of revenge by the community.

Sanders was well-informed and said at a glance, "it's all right, boss. This is a recognized protest by local paper mills. It's estimated that their salaries have been delayed or bonuses have not been paid."

On the back of Basque port is a large area of excellent woods. It is the largest concentration of paper mills in Newfoundland. The two factories ranked fourth and fifth in Canada's paper industry are located here.

However, at the beginning of this year, Hannibal paper mill, the fifth largest, declared bankruptcy, leaving thousands of unemployed workers and tens of millions of commercial debts.
