There are so few recommended votes now. I hope that the brothers and sisters who still have votes in their hands will vote, thanks! ****
Farewell to Director Cameron, and Qin Shiou was about to board the helicopter to return to the fishing ground. As a result, just after the Osprey started, a row of red lights suddenly lit on the helicopter bridge, and there was a harsh buzzing sound.
Qin Shiou encountered this situation for the first time. He was sitting in the co-pilot and was about to close his eyes and rest his mind. His heart was beating from the excitement, and he quickly asked, "What's the matter, man?"
Osprey signaled him to relax. After turning off the engine, he went for an inspection. He came back and said, “The interface of a cooling pipe of the engine is rusty. I have to find some oil to clean it. It’s not a big deal. I can fly later.”
Qin Shiou thought it was better to be more cautious. He said, “Forget it, Osprey, let’s leave this thing here and let the people in Aviation City take care of it. Let’s not take the risk and take the train back to St. John’s.”
There is no airport in the Basque Port. The nearest airport is St. Anthony in the north. In this case, it is better to go back by train.
Osprey had a relaxed expression, and said: "That's not a big problem, BOSS, I can handle it. I used to have a mission in the army, and I dared to open the engine cooling pipe when it burst."
"But I dare not die." Qin Shiou said frankly, he is the **** of the sea, not the **** of the sky, and the sky is not his place. If something goes wrong with the helicopter in the air, he will really lose out.
Osprey shrugged, took out his mobile phone and bought four train tickets from Basque Port to St. John's.
Transportation in Canada is similar to that in the United States. Airports are built everywhere, and aviation has become the simplest and most effective tool for travel. The price is cheap, the safety is high, and the speed is fast, and the train transportation has become a medium and high-end travel tool.
This is the huge difference in traffic between developed and developing countries. In Canada, for example, the coverage of expressways in Canada exceeds 80%. Except for places close to the North Pole, highways have been built in other regions, and they are almost free to use.
In this way, people who travel remotely will choose airplanes. The short distance is to drive by yourself, then the train will naturally have no market.
Train transportation companies such as Pacific Railway Company are traditional large companies in Canada. They realized this crisis and immediately carried out industry changes, turning train travel into an enjoyable activity.
The train coverage rate in Newfoundland is relatively low. After all, this is a large island living alone overseas. Sea transportation is the main event. Then there are air and roads, and the share of railways is very small.
But even so. Railway transportation in Newfoundland is still quite developed. The railway station in Basque Harbour 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.
At the train station, Qin Shiou looked at the time, and it was more than an hour before the departure. He didn't want to sit down at the train station, so he bought a map at the newsstand at the station entrance and found that there was a commentary center not far away called the Golden Nail Interpretation Center.
Newfoundland’s Interpretation Center can also be said to be a museum, memorial, art gallery, etc. Anyway, the place where someone interprets is called the Interpretation Center, which is strictly a Geological Museum.
Qin Shiou walked with Osprey, Nelson, and Sanders into the Interpretation Center. This is mainly to commemorate the Cambrian outbreak. There are many sponges, coelenterates, gills, phytopods, brachiopods, molluscs, Fossils of arthropods, echinoderms, and chordates.
For the Cambrian explosion, people who are involved in biology are familiar with it. Now the world's natural biological history recognizes that the evolution of the earth's biology is based on Darwin's "Evolution". But what "Theory of Evolution" cannot explain is the period when the Cambrian explosion took place.
At this time, Sanders can show its effect. After entering the Interpretation Center, he talked freely and introduced a kind of creature to the three of them. No matter what appeared, he would come at his fingertips. It is much more exciting than the tour guide.
When walking to the middle position. Qin Shiou suddenly saw a large group of weird-looking arthropods. These animals carried round carapace. The carapace was inlaid layer by layer. Around it were organs like arthropods. There were mouths on the abdomen, which made him familiar. Isn't the black cap 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. The surrounding arthropod-like organs are not the feet of the black giant worm, but are called ribs, which can be seen as stretched ribs.
If you look closely, this kind of trilobite is actually very different from the black giant worm, but at a glance, the appearance is too similar, especially since they all have feeding organs in the abdomen, Qin Shiou can't help but associate them.
Sanders saw him pay attention to these trilobites, and came to explain: "Are you interested in these trilobites? They are giant shell trilobites, the number is relatively rare, and the extinction time has not yet been figured out."
Qin Shiou asked: "Are they still not extinct?"
Sanders laughed and said firmly: "No, absolutely impossible. The ocean environment 500 million years ago is almost completely different from the present. The cell structure of trilobites is too simple and does not have the ability to change evolution. So they cannot adapt to such environmental changes."
Qin Shiou nodded and didn't say anything. He just remembered the name of the giant shell trilobite in his heart, and planned to go back and study it.
At the back, there were more than a dozen tourists following the four. These people thought Sanders was a tour guide. Someone asked, "Sir, how long have you been working here? Your knowledge is so rich. "
Sanders blinked and said hesitantly: "I'm not working 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 left for the train to drive. Qin Shiou decided to return early and not delay the train.
His worries were correct. On the way back to the train station, they were waiting for a red light at a crossroad, when a group of angry people suddenly walked on the opposite side. This shocked Qin Shiou and thought it was a revenge action by the community. .
Sanders was very knowledgeable, took a look at it and said: "It's okay, BOSS, this is a recognized protest by the local paper mill. It is estimated that their salary has been delayed or there is no bonus."
The back of the Basque Port is a large area of fine woods. This is the largest concentration of paper mills in Newfoundland. 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 behind thousands of unemployed workers and tens of millions of business debts. (To be continued~^~)
