Golden Fishery

There are very few recommended votes now, I hope brothers and sisters who still have votes can vote, thank you! ****

After bidding farewell to Director Cameron, Qin Shiou was about to board the helicopter and return to the fishing ground. As a result, just as the Osprey started, a row of red lights suddenly lit up on the helicopter bridge, and a piercing beep sounded.

It was the first time Qin Shiou encountered this kind of situation. He was sitting on the co-pilot and was about to close his eyes and rest his mind. Such a stimulus made his little heart beat wildly, and he quickly asked, "What's going on, buddy?"

The Osprey signaled him to relax, and after turning off the engine, he went for an inspection and came back and said, "One of the cooling pipes of the engine is rusted. I need to find some engine oil to clean it. It's not a big deal, and I can still fly later."

Qin Shiou felt that it was better to be cautious, and he said, "Forget it, Osprey, let's leave this thing here and let the people in the aviation city handle it. Let's not take this risk, let's take the train back to St. Johns."

There is no airport in the Port of Basque Country, and the nearest airport is San Antonio in the north. In this case, it is better to go back by train.

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

"But I don't dare to die." Qin Shiou said truthfully, he is the god of the sea, not the god of the sky, and the sky is not his territory. If something goes wrong with the helicopter in the air, he will not be worth the loss.

Shrugging, the Osprey pulled out his phone and bought four tickets for the Basque Port to St. Johns train.

The transportation in Canada is similar to that in the United States. Airports are everywhere. Aviation has become the simplest and most effective means of travel. It is cheap, safe and fast. The train transportation has become a medium-to-high-end travel tool.

This is a huge difference in transportation between developed and developing countries. In Canada, for example, the coverage rate of expressways in the territory exceeds 80%. Except for the northern part close to the Arctic, expressways have been built in other regions. And almost all of them are free to use.

In this way, people will choose airplanes for long-distance travel, and drive by themselves for short-distance travel, so there will naturally be no market for trains.

However, train transportation companies such as the Pacific Railway Company are traditional large companies in Canada. After they realized the crisis, they made timely industry changes and turned train travel into an enjoyable activity.

Train coverage in Newfoundland is relatively low. After all, this is a large island living alone overseas, sea transportation is the highlight, and then there are aviation and roads, and the share of railways is very small.

But even so,

Newfoundland's rail transport is still quite developed. The railway station in the Port of Basque Country is built like a castle. The waiting room is tall and spacious, and the overall color is warm yellow, so that you can feel a little warmth even if you stay inside in winter.

When he arrived at the train station, Qin Shiou checked the time. It was more than an hour before the departure time. He didn't want to sit at the train station, so he bought a map at the newsstand at the station entrance. I found that there is an interpretation center not far away, called the Golden Nail Interpretation Center.

The interpretation center in Newfoundland can also be said to be a museum, a memorial hall, an art gallery, etc. Anyway, a place where someone explains is called an interpretation center. This interpretive center is strictly a geological museum.

Qin Shiou, Osprey, Nelson, and Saunders strolled over to enter the Interpretation Center, which mainly commemorates the Cambrian explosion, and there are many sponges, coelenterates, gill shrubs, leaf-pods, brachiopods, molluscs, Fossils of arthropods, echinoderms, and chordates.

People who engage in biology are familiar with the Cambrian Explosion. Now the world’s natural biological history recognizes that the evolution of Earth’s organisms is based on Darwin’s "Evolution", but what "Evolution" cannot explain is that the Cambrian Explosion occurred at this stage. period.

At this time, Sanders can show the role. After entering the interpretation center, he talked eloquently and introduced various creatures to the three of them. No matter what came up, he knew it at his fingertips. Quoting from many sources, the story is much more exciting than the tour guide.

When he walked to the middle position, Qin Shiou suddenly saw a large group of strange-looking arthropods. These animals carried round carapaces, among which the carapaces were inlaid in layers, surrounded by arthropod-like organs, and their abdomens were still alive. It has a mouth, which is too familiar to him—isn't the black-capped giant worm similar to 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. Those arthropod-like organs around it are not the feet of the giant black cover worm, but called rib joints, which can be regarded as stretched out ribs.

If you look closely, this trilobite and the black-covered giant worm are actually very different, but at a glance, they look too similar, especially since they both have feeding organs in their abdomens, Qin Shiou can't help but think of them.

Sanders saw that he was paying attention to these trilobites, so he came over and explained: "Are you interested in these insects? They are giant shell trilobites, the number is relatively rare, and the time of extinction has not been clarified yet."

Qin Shiou asked: "Could they not be extinct now?"

Sanders laughed and said firmly: "No, it is absolutely impossible. The marine environment 500 million years ago is completely different from the present. The cell structure of trilobites is too simple and does not have the ability to change. So they can't adapt to such environmental changes."

Qin Shiou nodded and didn't say anything else, but just remembered the name of the giant shell trilobite in his heart, and planned to go back and study it carefully.

At the back, there were more than a dozen tourists following the four of them. These people thought Sanders was a tour guide, and someone asked, "Sir, how long have you been working here? Your knowledge is really rich. "

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

After such a small misunderstanding, there was not much time before the train drove, so Qin Shiou decided to return early so as not to delay the train.

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

Sanders was well-informed, took one look and said with certainty: "It's okay, this is a protest movement recognized by the local paper mills. It is estimated that their salaries have been delayed or bonuses will not be paid."

On the back of Basque Harbor is a large area of ​​fine woods. This is the largest concentration of paper mills in Newfoundland, and the two factories ranked fourth and fifth in the Canadian paper industry are located here.

However, at the beginning of this year, the fifth-ranked Hannibal Paper Mill declared bankruptcy, leaving thousands of unemployed workers and tens of millions of commercial debts to the local area. (to be continued)
