"It turned out to be an ancient Chinese fruit. It seems that I did not admit it." Su Shi smiled. He had also checked the information before, but he was not sure.

Looking at Su Shi’s heartless lungs, Ye Bo and Zhou Xi’an couldn’t help but want to kill him. Do you know if the kid’s plant is so shocking? Of course, they are also excited. Because this Chinese ancient fruit is too valuable.

The ancient Chinese fruit, the "world's earliest flower" blooming in the western Liaoning region of 145 million years ago, is a legend in the paleontology and archaeology.

The Chinese ancient fruit fossil was discovered by Sun Ge and Ji Qiang in the Lingyuan area of ​​western Liaoning in 2000. Scientists have identified this extinct ancient angiosperm group as a new family of ancient angiosperms. Studies have shown that Chinese ancient fruit is probably the ancestor of all flowers and grains in the world today.

This major discovery is a new breakthrough in the study of the origin and early evolution of the global angiosperm. The American Science magazine, published on May 7, 2002, published the papers on the leading position of the leading scientist, Professor Sun Ge from Jilin University, and researcher Ji Qiang from the Chinese Geological Institute.

The morphological characteristics of the angiosperms of Chinese ancient fruit are more amazing than their era. According to the traditional theory of botany, angiosperms evolved from a kind of shrub similar to the current Magnolia plants. However, the ancient Chinese It is a small, delicate aquatic plant, more like a herb.

In August 2003, another group of international research teams published another possible explanation for Chinese ancient fruit in the journal New Trends in Botany. It is believed that Chinese ancient fruit is very likely to be completely immersed in water. In addition, using different classification features to analyze the obtained pedigree, the position of Chinese ancient fruit in the pedigree has become ambiguous, not as the first group of research team believes that it is the basis of the flowering plant pedigree, so they can not help but ask: "Chinese Is the ancient fruit the ancestor of the flowering plant, or is it just a specialized early flowering plant?"

According to the Science and Technology Daily, the American magazine Discovery introduced the results with the title of "the earliest floral aroma". Darwin said that due to angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, in the middle and late Cretaceous (about 100 million to 6500 years ago) Millions of years have appeared in large numbers, and they have not been able to find their ancestral group and clues of early evolution, which is confusing and called "the mystery of hate."

Now, instead of being fossils, there is such a living Chinese ancient fruit in front of us, everything is completely different, and the "hate mystery" is likely to be solved.

The origin of human beings, the origin of species, has always been the subject of our research, because it is related to the evolution of humans and species, and to the future of mankind.

"Great, with this living Chinese ancient fruit, you don't have to guess based on fossils. There may be many mysteries that will be solved." Ye Bo excited.

"This should be of great help to archaeology," Zhou Xi said.

"What do you mean by this? This is obviously an ancient creature. It must be brought back to the paleontology graduate school. You should not mix it." Ye Bo said.

"This is related to the ancient environment, archaeological archaeology 100 million years ago, of course, it has a lot to do with me." Zhou Xi leisurely eyes.

When I was not careful, the two of them quarreled again, and Su Shi and a few assistants were very helpless. But I also know that they are bickering, but generally they will not make trouble. In fact, a few assistants are also very excited to witness a creature more than 100 million years ago. What a magical thing? The news spread out, it will certainly sensationalize the country and make a sensation in the world, because this is a world breakthrough and a miracle.

In the end, Su Shi saw that they were vying to go and couldn't stand it, and they took out a Chinese ancient fruit, one person, and they stopped quarreling.

The last time they competed for spider fossils, Su Shi sold them to them in the form of an auction. This time they gave them free research. Because of this money, Su Shi is not too concerned now, the price is too high, they can’t buy it. Start. What he cares more about is that he can research something, bring a lot of good sensation and influence to the earth, and get recycling.

"Auntie, where did you get so many extinct animals, and this ancient Chinese fruit, by reason, it can't survive." Ye Bo couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, there is nothing impossible, the world is not big, the facts are in front of you, you still don't believe it? In addition to this plant, there are several other plants, you have to look at it." Su Shi said, Deliberately open the topic.

“And?” Ye Bo and Zhou Xi’s eyes all look.

"Yes." Su Shi nodded.

"Of course, look at it, get it out quickly." Two old and a few assistants were very excited.

Su Shi went into the house again. This time, a few plants were moved out, all of which were small plants planted in pots. Their shapes are very special.

"Oh, this is not..." A young man pointed at one of the plants and seemed to think of something, but suddenly he couldn't name it.

"Sun Moon Lake sheep ears garlic!" Another young man whispered.

“Hmmm?” Ye Bo showed amazement, staring at the moment and nodding his head. “You are not mistaken in Xiaowu. This is indeed the Sun Moon Lake sheep ear garlic.”

I saw the plants they called the Sun Moon Lake sheep ears. The fake bulbs are ovate, the leaves are linear or linear lanceolate, 16-30 cm long, only 1-1.5 cm wide. Racemes terminal, upper sepals and petal linear, ca. 9 mm long, ovate-ovate.

“What is the Sun Moon Lake Sheep Ear Garlic?” Zhou Xi is suspicious.

"Hey, you don't know this." Ye Bo smiled and explained, "This is a unique species in Taiwan. It is only distributed in Lalu Island in the Sun Moon Lake area of ​​Nantou. It is about 750m above sea level. After the construction of Mingtan Reservoir The habitat has been severely damaged. It has not been followed up for more than 70 years and is likely to be completely extinct."

"That is to say, it is an extinct species. It is so easy to say that it is as thin as usual." Zhou Xi idle said.

Ye Bo and the young man he just recognized are all stunned. Yes, this is an extinct species. Although it has only been extinct for seventy years, it is a rare species, but how rare it is, but it seems to be calm and calm. Surprisingly, it seems that today I have seen too many extinct species, they are already a bit numb, and we must blame Su Shi.

They didn't think too much. They carefully observed the other plants and observed them carefully. At first glance, no one recognized them.
