v3 Chapter 602： Fossils and dogs

"The Greenland ice sheet is the largest ice sheet in the northern hemisphere. It has a depth of 2,530 kilometers from north to south and 1094 kilometers at its widest point. The thickness of the ice layer is amazing. It is said that the thickness of the ice layer is thicker as it goes to the middle, and there are two large ice caps on it. The place we want to go this time is near one of the ice caps.

"In the past few days, the expedition team continued the first day of good luck. The weather and the itinerary were very smooth, because the exploration time was in summer, the ice edge has begun to melt, and the thickness of the ice in many places has changed. It's very thin, and ice blocks fall from time to time near the beach. They fall into the sea and take extra care when walking on them, but the more you go in, the more stable the ice caps are there.

"We have also dug some slate and fossils, and the geologists and biologists in the team are very happy. If they don’t continue to move forward, it is estimated that they will have to study in situ, because I think this The configuration of the expedition-only team was a little strange, and at the beginning it was a bit worrying, but with the passage of time, those retired soldiers are really like Mr. Tam said, but they are honestly doing what they should do , So I gradually let go of my heart and began to enjoy this adventure.

"After all, remuneration is one reason, but what really attracted me to join this operation is the love of this ice field, especially exploring the hidden secrets in it, just like revealing it a little bit. The most beautiful thing about mysterious veil is that every time when I feel that I already know enough about it, but in a blink of an eye, it will reveal a new side that surprises me, as if it is a lover who will never make you bored same.

"So I thought at the time that this expedition was really suitable for me. Of course, I just found Dr. Baker just in case. After all, the only person in the expedition who knew the bottom line was him. The Chinese couple is not bad. It gave me a good impression, and several other scientists. Their people are actually good, but I didn’t know them for long after all, so of course I still prefer to believe Dr. Baker.

"We agreed that we will advance and retreat together, and we will also pay attention to the people around us, mainly those retired soldiers, who exchange information regularly. Baker thinks that I think too much, but he still agreed to it. After all, be careful and make no mistakes. And our team continues to move forward, but our good luck seems to have run out.

"The first thing that went wrong was the group of dogs, who suddenly started barking inexplicably, and then moved forward with some resistance. I haven’t encountered such a strange thing before. The sled Greenland dog was made by the Inuit. Domesticated by his ancestors, he completely lost the wolf nature, became very docile, and worked hard, even in the minus ten degrees can stay overnight in the wild.

"Although as we continued to deepen, the temperature also began to drop, but it was far from the level that the Greenland dog could not bear, so the condition of the dog group was unexpected at the time. I had to let the expedition stop first, and then spent For half a day, they pacified the dogs and prepared richer food for them. They were willing to move on, but they could see that they didn’t want to do it, just because it was my order, and they were used to it. Obey human orders.

"The dog group really surprised me a bit, but to be honest I didn't take it too seriously, because this is an adventure, even if you are well prepared, you will always have problems of one kind or another, and this is the guide and the leader Role, we solve various problems and ensure that the exploration can continue.

"And just after the dogs had problems, geologists and biologists had nothing to do. When they were strolling around, they discovered a new fossil specimen on a piece of rock that was exposed outside. The age of the fossils quarreled, and geologists inferred that this thing came from the ancient times, but biologists held a different view, because from a biological point of view, the thing in the fossil has obviously evolved very well By the way, although some are ugly, various organs look quite mature.

"The biologist feels that this thing must be at least a creature from the Triassic era, and he didn't want to let go after holding the fossil, a look of extreme obsession, as if the person who learned to paint had Da Vinci The truth is the same. The other people are watching them arguing and not talking, Mr. Tam still looks like a smile, only when the two are about to quarrel, they will start to mediate for them.

"It is finally agreed that this fossil will be owned by the biologist and the fossil or rock formation samples to be found next time will be given priority by the geologist, and the biologist will also take this Things lend to geologists for a while.

"It was at this time that I also solved the problem of the dog group, so we went on the road again. But it is strange to say that when the biologist returned with the fossil, I finally calmed the dog group and became uneasy. Emotions, so I asked the biologist to find a bag to seal the fossil, so that the dog's emotions were stabilized again.

"However, we only walked a few kilometers away, and suddenly the weather changed. This is a sign of the snowstorm. After discussing, we did not continue to rush. We decided to camp here and wait for the snow to pass before we go on the road. I took a few retired soldiers, checked the tents that were tied up, and reinforced them with ice bricks, and also built a fence for the dogs. I originally wanted to build another ice wall for them, but at this time the snowstorm was already Here comes, so we have to let the dog group also join us in advanced tents.

"They started to become restless again, and this time I felt very clearly, they seemed to be afraid of something, but I had no time to think about the blizzard, it was coming, and there was only a screaming wind in our ears, and The sound of ice and snow beating on the tents, I am very fortunate to have reinforced them before, otherwise I really don’t know if these tents can withstand the blizzard.

"Because there was no way to get a fire, we ate some cookies at night, the dogs kept barking, and I couldn't sleep, so I lay down for about an hour, and suddenly heard a gun coming from outside. Sound, and I opened my eyes and found that the two retired soldiers in a tent with me did not know when they were gone, and only Dr. Baker and I were left with big eyes in the tent.
