Another world conquest manual - #470 - Chapter 463 What happened three hundred thousand years ago? (Please subscribe!)

Three hundred and sixty thousand years ago.

This is undoubtedly a suffocating number.

Even many people may not understand the meaning of this time point. Just from the literal meaning, they will feel a strong prehistoric atmosphere.

Then Lu Chaoyang turned around and looked at Ouyang Dongshan:

“Researcher Ouyang, 360,000 years ago. Are there any signs of human existence on the earth?”

Although Ouyang Dongshan is a polar scientist, the demand for prehistoric knowledge in polar scientific research is actually not low – for example, the identification of some glaciers millions of years ago. One of the ultimate purposes of the identification is to understand the earth’s humanities at the same time. species status.

Therefore, for experts like Ouyang Dongshan, he may not know much about the history of thousands of years.

But major nodes measured in tens of thousands of years can almost be easily grasped.

So after hearing the number 360,000, he just thought for a moment and smiled:

“Professor Lu, of course there were signs of human existence at that time, and there were quite a few of them.

Of course.

This refers to prehistoric humans, that is, early Homo sapiens.

Our modern humans are a new species among the late Homo sapiens. Apart from the evolutionary spectrum, there is actually not much relationship between the two. “

Lu Chaoyang thought for a while and said curiously:

“Are they like Yuanmou people?”

“That’s pretty much the concept.”

Ouyang Dongshan did not point out the errors or omissions in Lu Chaoyang’s words. This small flaw in the definition is insignificant:

“But it’s a little later than Yuanmou people.”

The ancestors of human beings are called hominins, and their history can be traced back to 4 million years ago.

The earliest humans were foragers, that is, they made a living by picking wild fruits in the wild, instead of growing them for a living.

There are traces of hominid activities in almost every area on the earth, and to be honest, there are quite a few of them.

At present, the relatively recognized typical representative in the local area is the Yuanmou Man fossil mentioned by Lu Chaoyang.

At that time, the research team collected 6 samples in the gravel layer 38 meters above the soil where the fossils were found. The age result obtained by the 26Al/10Be method was 1.54±0.06 million years ago.

Based on the estimated sedimentation rate of the strata, it is inferred that the age of the layer where Yuanmou Man fossils were unearthed is 1.72±003 million years.

But in fact, some mandibles and teeth have also been discovered at Longgupo in Wushan.

According to ESR and uranium series detection, they are approximately 2.2 Ma, which is 2.2 million years old.

However, this statement is currently quite controversial, and has also extended to regional academic and even academic debates.

A mandible found at Longgupo was originally classified into the genus Homo (such as Homo erectus, Homo habilis, Homo sapiens, etc.), but the current mainstream opinion is that it belongs to an ape.

For example, a species of Lufengpithecus or a new genus that stands side by side with Lufengpithecus.

The same is true for the other founders, who are currently at odds with each other.

A typical example of the quarrel is that on page 15 of “Basic Knowledge of National Tour Guides” (China Tourism Publishing House), “Jianshi Homo, who lived about 2 million years ago, is the earliest known ancient human fossil in China.”

What junior high school textbooks have always insisted on is Yuanmou Man 1.7 million years ago.

If you delve deeper into the two, you will find that there are disputes involving regional academics, and no one is convinced by the other.

But no matter which of the above is the earliest native human being.

When the timeline is reduced to 300,000 years, it is unmistakable that there must be signs of human activity on the mainland.

It’s just that this sign can hardly be called ‘civilization’, and the same is true for other areas on the earth.

According to Ouyang Dongshan’s appraisal.

The ice in the cave was first condensed during that period.

Let’s not say that this situation is 100%, at least there is a certain probability.

The ice coffin will probably appear no later than this point in time.

This is very thought-provoking, because the ice coffin is likely to be related to the advanced civilization of the Great Mo Realm!

Then Lu Chaoyang glanced at Su Bai and others who were still checking other areas, and continued to ask:

“So Researcher Ouyang, did any major events happen in our country more than 300,000 years ago?”

Ouyang Dongshan touched his chin and thought for a while, a trace of hesitation suddenly appeared on his face:

“It seems that nothing big happened in the mainland more than 300,000 years ago, but”

“but what?”

Ouyang Dongshan raised his eyelids and glanced at him. Instead of explaining directly, he asked:

“Professor Lu, have you ever heard of cultural relics from other places?”

Lu Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something:

“You mean Opaz?”

As a young scholar who likes to surf the Internet, Lu Chaoyang still likes to surf in his spare time.

For example, go to Zhihu to see how others brag about you, and go to Qidian to see if a certain author has discredited you.

Other than that.

Weibo is also a place he often goes to.

Among the latest cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui, archaeological experts have discovered no less than ancient vessels with somewhat similar modern painting styles.

At that time, this topic caused a lot of discussion on the Internet, and the third uncle of the Southern School was even put on a hot search.

Because Lu Chaoyang has a higher level of contact, he once saw a history expert post in Moments:

‘If you are interested, you can search for the keyword Opaz, maybe it will open your eyes’.

So Lu Chaoyang really went to search, and was really shocked.

Opaz.

The English name is OOPArts (Out of Place Artifact), and the academic term is off-site cultural relics.

However, due to transliteration, the word Opaz is more famous.

It is a unique and poorly understood object that can be found in historical, archaeological or paleontological records that fall into the category of anomaly.

These objects were discovered when and where they were not supposed to be, thus challenging conventional understandings of history.

This thing is different from Foundation Cthulhu. Although it is relatively unpopular, it is indeed a solid existing concept.

For example, people have published relevant papers in science and nature, and there are also related research groups in the local Qingbei.

Although researchers have always hoped to draw simple and rational conclusions about these strange artifacts through research.

But many believe OOPArts may actually reveal how civilized or sophisticated humans are.

Some even believe that extraterrestrial intelligence is the reason OOArts exists.

So far.

Researchers have discovered dozens of OOPArts.

These include the Antikythera Device, the famous Maine Penny, the Shroud of Turin, the Baghdad Battery, the Bird of Saqqara, the Ica Stones of Peru, the Giant Stone Sphere of Costa Rica, the London Hammer, and many more.

Of course.

The Wang Mang caliper invented by Wang Mang, a local who is highly suspected of being a time traveler, and the bronze sun wheel of Sanxingdui are also famous among them.

Seeing that Lu Chaoyang had come into contact with OOArts, Ouyang Dongshan continued to explain:

“Professor Lu, among the many OOArts discovered so far, the micro-objects in the Ural Mountains have always been a very mysterious topic.

These microscopic objects were discovered near the banks of the Kozim, Narada and Barbani rivers in 1991 by a scientific expedition team during a “gold mine geological survey”.

The Bear’s Academy of Science has conducted numerous tests on these mysterious nano-objects, and the results are very interesting.

Because they found that the largest fragment was made of pure copper, and the smaller ones were made of tungsten and molybdenum.

These are the same metals used in spacecraft and rockets, are resistant to high temperatures, and are as small as 1/10,000 of an inch in length.

Later, after soil and object identification, the Mao Xiong side determined that they all came from.

Three hundred thousand years ago! “

Lu Chaoyang’s pupils suddenly shrank.

1/10000 inch.

Given the current level of technology, even a township factory can achieve such accuracy.

But three hundred thousand years ago.

This is simply an impossible task.

Then Ouyang Dongshan paused and continued:

“Of course, the relevant data was released unilaterally by the other side, and no one except them can say whether it is true or false.

However, combined with the decryption of the high-dose radioactive material in the mysterious incident in the Ural Mountains in 1959, there is still a high degree of discussion in relevant circles about mysterious objects in the mountains.

By the way, Professor Lu.

I’m not saying that the ice coffin must have something to do with the Ural Mountains.

But there are only so many discoveries on the mysterious side of 300,000 years ago, so I just connected them together. “

Lu Chaoyang nodded slightly, he still had this kind of acceptance.

Then he opened his mouth and was about to say something, when he heard Cao Yi next to him whisper:

“Professor Lu, I have discovered something here!”

Note:

After updating for a minute, I found that half of the automatic subscriptions were dropped. I cried QAQ.

This time it’s really hurtful. I don’t know how many I will drop. Yesterday I dropped a bunch of them from my collection. Alas.

Yesterday, I originally coded the beginning of a new book and showed it to Maduka and Yakumo. Now I feel like I can use it as a side story.

The weight of smart push has returned to zero. This is currently the largest source of traffic for a book, but the good news is that the list and search bar have not dropped for the time being.

After all, our book has done very well, so we should try our best to protect it as much as possible. Don’t blame Qidian this time. It was reported to other departments.

Then there is a faint hope that writing will be a little easier on New Year’s Day, and maybe I can continue writing, but I can’t count on it.

A lot of friends in the author group are saying that I am too literary and young. Isn’t it good to use resources for new books without the outline? I didn’t explain much.

As a science student, I am actually very rational, but even the most rational people have weaknesses in their hearts. Friends who have been pursuing books before should know that I have explained it more than once because of individual comments.

So when I saw many readers who liked this book saying they were reluctant to part with it, I was reluctant to part with it myself.

If you reduce your rights, you will reduce your rights. After calculation, if I can still be found on the list, the royalties will probably be less than the realization brought by intelligent promotion + best-selling featured recommendations, which is about 1.5 per month.

It will definitely be less than half of the original fee, but it may not be much less than the unknown new book. I didn’t have the choice to start a new book before, but now that I can choose, I’ll go ahead.

As for giving rewards and support, everyone should just do what they can. To be honest, my lack of royalties cannot be compensated by a few rudders and alliance leaders. The guy who said he would reward alliance leaders after his salary is paid should leave some money to eat for himself.

However, I still hope that everyone can vote for the monthly vote. After the smart push is gone, the rest will be the traffic from the monthly vote list.
