Fairy Ocean Fireworks

Outside the Chenghua Gym, Xinyi and the others were standing at the gate of the gym with backpacks on their backs, as if they were going somewhere.

"Ya Ya, we are going out for a trip. You stay at home and train well. Togepi and Little Eevee will also stay in the gym. As a big brother, you have to protect them."

Xinyi knelt down, touched the duck's head and told it.

Today, Xinyi and the others were going to visit a fossil museum. Yaya stayed in the gym to continue training because of his slow training progress. However, Togepi and the two little Eevee thought the fossil museum would be boring, so they said I want to stay in the gym and don't want to go out.

"Togepi, you must not run around with your sisters. You two must also listen to the uncles and aunts in the gym. Don't be naughty."

Cheng Xia took the three little guys out of the backpack, gently placed them on the ground, pinched their soft little faces and said.

"queki~queki~" (I am very obedient~)

"咘咘咘咿~" (We are the same~)

"Then you must do what you say. If you can't do it, I'll come back and spank you."

Cheng Xia gently flicked Togepi's little head and said.

Then, Kodak and Togepi happily turned around and ran into the gym. Because they thought Kodak was running slowly, Togepi and the two little Eevee came behind Duck and pushed him He accelerated and ran forward.

Seeing the lively and cute looks of the four little guys, Xinyi and Chengxia couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.

"Don't worry, the seniors in the gym will also help take care of them. Let's go to the Elf Center to find Xiao Mao first."

As soon as Xiao Sheng finished speaking, the bus just arrived at the door, and the three of them hurriedly walked to the bus.

Ten minutes later, Xinyi and the others arrived at the elf center. After looking around, they found that Xiao Mao, who lived closer, hadn't come over yet.

After the three of them waited for another ten minutes, Xiao Mao hurried into the elf center.

"Xiao Mao, you're late again." Xiao Sheng said helplessly to Xiao Mao.

When Xiaosheng traveled with Xiaozhi before, he always felt that Xiaozhi was quite unreliable.

During the chat with Xiaogang, he learned that Xiaomao and Xiaozhi were good friends (strong rivals) who grew up together, and compared to Xiaozhi who was often careless and liked to sleep in, Xiaomao gave people a very reliable feeling. Spectrum, a much more mature feeling.

As a result, after he and Xiao Mao worked together on multiple research projects in recent years, he found that his previous impressions were false, and Xiao Gang's evaluation of Xiao Mao seemed to be reversed.

In fact, Xiao Mao is still very serious at work and basically makes no mistakes. Xiao Sheng feels that Xiao Mao is unreliable mainly in life.

Let's just say he is late. Xiaomao will be late more than half the time when he meets with others. In daily interactions, Xiaomao also gives people a careless impression.

Xiao Sheng is quite strange. He clearly remembers mentioning Xiao Mao when he talked to Xiao Zhi on the phone a few years after the trip. Xiao Zhi also said that Xiao Mao became more stable than before after becoming a researcher.

This is quite a contrast to now.

Speaking of which, Xiaozhi has become more mature and steady now. Xiaosheng and Xiaozhi have gotten together several times over the years. Xiaosheng has also traveled to Zhenxin Town. He likes that beautiful town very much.

During the few meetings with Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi's first impression on Xiaosheng was that he had changed. He had become a mature and steady man. He was much more mature in speaking and getting along with others than before. He even smiled more than before. not enough.

Sometimes Xiao Sheng would wonder if these two childhood playmates had switched bodies. He had seen movies with this setting, but after thinking about it carefully, he rejected it.

The details of Xiaozhi's relationship with the elves have not changed. From this point alone, he can tell that Xiaozhi is still the same Xiaozhi.

"Haha, I forgot to turn on the alarm clock last night, I'm sorry."

Xiao Mao touched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.

"Let's go quickly."

Cheng Xia pointed outside the Elf Center. A taxi just stopped at the door. Xinyi quickly ran over and stopped the taxi that was about to leave. Then the four of them quickly got in the car. The driver who knew the destination immediately turned around. Go to the fossil museum.

……

Last night, Xiao Mao came to the gym to have a dinner with Xinyi and the others. While chatting while eating in the restaurant, they discussed the fossil landfill near Shuijing City.

While chatting, Xiaosheng suddenly remembered that there was a fossil landfill near Chenghua City, and there was a museum that collected the elf fossils dug out of the landfill.

Xiaosheng visited this fossil museum when he was a child, but has not been there since he grew up. In addition, the museum is not well-known and few people go there. Xiaosheng had forgotten its existence before.

After knowing that there was a fossil museum nearby, Xinyi and the others immediately became very interested in it. Especially when they learned that the museum contained fossils of the Lazy Man clan, they became even more excited.

Although Xiaosheng said that the fossils of the Lanrenweng clan were relatively recent, researchers at the time found that they were no different from the current Lanrenweng clan and were incomparable with the fossils excavated from the strata in Shuijing City. But it still couldn't stop Xinyi and the others from wanting to visit right away.

So, Xiao Sheng said that he would take them to the museum the next day.

This museum originated from an ancient elf expedition decades ago. A research team discovered an area buried with a large number of elf fossils in the southwest of the Chenghua Forest.

After obtaining permission from the alliance and applying for project funding, the team immediately began large-scale fossil excavation activities in the area.

After more than a year of excavation, a professional fossil excavation site has been built in that area. A large number of researchers and workers are working here. They can dig out dozens to hundreds of fossils from the excavation site every day. Ancient Elf Fossils.

Later, because the excavation work seriously affected the ecological environment of Chenghua Forest, the alliance notified below that the excavation work would be gradually reduced until it was completely stopped.

After all, humans study ancient elves in order to understand the changes in the natural environment and the evolution of elves from ancient times to the present. This is mainly so that current humans can get along better with elves.

Now, in order to study this, humans and the elves of Chenghua Forest are about to start a fight. Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?

After the fossil excavation site was closed, the Alliance built a fossil museum with a small research institute at the southwest edge of the Orange Flower Forest.

The museum houses about one-third of the various fossils excavated from the excavation site. The research team that originally discovered the fossil landfill continued to study these fossils in the small institute for more than ten years and then moved away.

According to Xiao Sheng's description, when he went to the museum when he was a child, the building of the small research institute had been vacant for many years.

After Xiao Sheng finished talking about his knowledge of this museum, several people immediately used the Internet to inquire about its current situation.

Today, the fossil museum is managed by the Chenghua Municipal Government, where a researcher from that research team retired as acting director.

……

After the taxi left Chenghua City and drove along the highway for nearly half an hour, Shinyi and his party finally arrived at the fossil museum.

Shinyi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, paid the fare first, got out of the car and ran to the museum, only to find that the museum door was closed.

"Huh? What's going on? I checked before coming here that today is not the museum's closing day." Xinyi looked at the museum door strangely, feeling a little depressed.

"Huh? Strange?"

Xiaosheng and the others also walked to the front of the museum and discovered this situation.

Just as the four of them were about to check the official phone number of the museum and call to inquire, an old man appeared behind them.

"Are you here to visit?"

"Huh? Yes, yes."

They suddenly heard a sound and immediately turned around and saw an old man in a gray coat. The old man had a serious face and a pair of glasses. He looked like an old scholar.

"I am the director of this museum. There are very few visitors to the museum, so it opens late every day and the employees come in through another passage."

As he spoke, the old man walked through the crowd and walked to the door. He took out a key from his pocket and opened the door.

"Come in with me. My surname is Wu. You can call me Curator Wu."

"Okay, thank you, Director Wu."

Several people immediately followed Director Wu into the museum.

As soon as you enter, you will see a large and spacious exhibition hall. There is a counter near the door with the words "Free to visit, care for fossils".

There was a staff member cleaning in the exhibition hall. When he saw Director Wu coming in, he immediately said hello to him. Director Wu nodded and motioned for him to continue working, then turned to Shinyi and the others and said:

"It seems that these trainers are traveling abroad. Since I have nothing to do now, I will be your guide and show you these stones."

Curator Wu's words surprised several people.

This curator Wu should be the acting curator who was introduced online and was once a member of the fossil research team. Having such a professional take them around and explain to them is such a generous treatment.

"Thank you, Director Wu!"

"Let's take a look at the fossils in this exhibition hall first."

Curator Wu took Xinyi and the others to a row of booths on the side of the exhibition hall. These booths were covered by glass, and fossils of various forms were displayed in them, most of which were fossils of parts of the body of some kind of elf.

"These are the fossils of the lazy man's family, which are probably tens of thousands of years old. They are not much different from the current lazy man. These are the leg fossils of the lazy man, and these are the claw fossils of the hyperkinetic ape. This Skull fossils..."

Every time he passed a booth, Director Wu would point to the fossils and introduce them in detail to Shinyi and others, which greatly enriched their knowledge.

"Director Wu, I have a question about resurrecting fossils." Cheng Xia suddenly said.

"You want to ask whether these fossils can be resurrected, right?"

"Yes."

"This is actually a misunderstanding among the public. They believe that all fossils can be resurrected. In fact, only a very small number of fossils can be resurrected using fossil resurrection devices. The principles are very complicated, so I won't go into details. Let's keep looking forward."

"Oh, alright."

"This is the tooth fossil of a dog-shaped elf. We speculate that it is probably a large wolfdog. This is the wing bone fossil of a bird elf. It is now extinct. There were still people in the Fangyuan area a thousand years ago at the latest. This kind of elf..."

After the introduction, all the fossils in the exhibition hall had been visited. Director Wu then led Xinyi and the others to a long and narrow corridor.

"Wow, are these all fossils hanging on the wall?" Xinyi looked at the "photo frames" on the walls on both sides of the corridor and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yes, these are plant fossils, basically relatively thin fossils such as twigs and leaves."

After Curator Wu answered, he pointed to a "photo frame" and said, "You should be familiar with this leaf fossil. Guess what kind of tree it is."

"Apple wild fruit?"

"Yes."

"Director Wu, is that a fossil of a rhizome?" Xiao Sheng asked Director Wu, pointing to a fossilized grass blade on the left side of everyone.

"Yes, I'm actually not sure, but it does belong to the same genus as rhizome. The stems and fine leaves of this genus have some special shapes, so they are easy to recognize."

"Look at this again. This is a leaf fossil of a grass elf. It is most likely a beautiful flower."

This corridor is not very long, the group of people talked as they walked, and soon passed through the corridor and came to a small exhibition hall, where many pictures were hung and displayed.

"Here are some restoration pictures of ancient elves. Look, that is the restoration picture of the extinct bird elf introduced before." Curator Wu said, pointing to a picture hanging on the wall in front.

In that picture, a small finch elf was flying above a lush forest.

Small finches?From the looks of it, it seems that its ecological niche may be similar to that of the Arrogant Swallow, and it was probably squeezed out of its living space by the more powerful Arrogant Swallow.

As the most common bird elves in the Fangyuan area today, the proud swallow family is still quite powerful in the wild.

"You can read it here for yourselves. There are detailed introductions below the restoration pictures. I have written them all before, and I am too lazy to explain them again."

"Ok."

Several people spread out and looked at the restoration pictures they were interested in.

"Come over here."

A few minutes later, Director Wu shouted at the people at the end of the booth who were spreading out to look at the restored pictures, and Xinyi and the others immediately walked over quickly.

"This is the ecological environment restoration map of the Chenghua Forest area tens of thousands of years ago that we produced more than 20 years ago based on years of research results. You see, there was a large swamp to the west at that time, and now it is a forest. , and here..."

This ecological environment restoration map is extremely detailed, and it obviously took a lot of effort to create.

Curator Wu knew every part of this picture very well. He patiently analyzed each part of the picture bit by bit and explained it to Shinyi and the others.

"The reason why we judge here is..., we found it in the north of the forest..., and we also dug out one in the landfill..."

Curator Wu spoke for a full half hour, explaining many of the details and principles of the restoration to Shinyi and others in great detail.

During this period, Cheng Xia was as attentive as ever. Seeing that the curator's voice was a little dry, she immediately took out the tea prepared in the morning and gave it to the curator.

"Okay, I've finished talking about this picture. I'll take you to the side to experience a new gadget. One of my students helped me make it two years ago."

Hearing that there was something new, Xinyi and the others were naturally happy to experience it, so they followed the curator to a room next to the restoration booth.

"Well, it's actually kind of cool."

After entering the room, Xinyi immediately glanced around. There were several large-scale equipment in the room, which looked full of science fiction. They had silver-white shells and black seats inside. On the pure white platform in front of the seats, there was a Black helmet with frosted outer shell.

"This is a VR simulation experience machine. There are six of them here. Let me demonstrate it to you first."

As he spoke, Director Wu got into one of the devices, sat on the seat, fastened his seat belt to secure himself, then picked up the VR helmet and put it on his head.

"After putting on this helmet, press the button on the right to turn it on. After turning it on, click on the green module in front of you, and you will enter a selection interface where you can select the system navigation mode.

This mode is a set route. After clicking it, you can visit the Orange Forest tens of thousands of years ago along a fixed route. The Orange Forest here is based on the ecological restoration map I just introduced to you. Modeled.

In addition to this system navigation mode, you can also choose to become an elf living in the Orange Forest tens of thousands of years ago and move around freely. "

After speaking, Director Wu took off his helmet, smiled and said to several people: "Come and try it, it's very interesting."

"Uh-huh!"

The four people who couldn't wait quickly entered a simulation experience machine respectively. After fixing themselves, they put on their helmets and started operating.

Xinyi looked at the dozens of elves on the screen in front of him, decisively chose King Yan, and then entered the experience.

"Wow!"

The sight in front of him made him scream in surprise.

At this time, he was thousands of meters in the air, with a vast green forest below him.

So beautiful, so shocking.

This shock actually calmed down Xinyi's excitement.

After looking down at the sky for a long time, he controlled "his body" and flew towards the forest below.

"Tear it~"

When he approached several big trees, more than a dozen proud swallows flew out from the canopy of the big trees to greet his arrival, flying and circling around him while chirping happily.

This feeling is really great.

"Tear it up—"

He couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and let out a long cry, and then started to shuttle through the forest with the proud swallows.
