Chapter 327 - 327: An Uncontainable Fengshui in the Imperial Capital! No One is Qualified to Be Buried Here! (1)
“Holy crap!”
At this moment, Luo Feng was utterly astonished. He was well aware of the implications of this discovery.
If a Tyrannosaurus Rex’s fossil had truly been discovered here, it would cause a sensation worldwide.
At this moment, he was neither excited nor boastful.
He appeared cautious and prudent.
He decided to carefully excavate this object first.
“Goodness, what kind of dinosaur is this? Its claws are so huge!” “It looks like the leg bone fossil of a Tyrannosaurus, doesn’t it?” “Do you think it might be a Tyrannosaurus rex?”
“You’re overthinking it! Scientists have already discussed this topic extensively, and there are no Tyrannosaurus rex fossils in ancient China!” “But it’s not impossible. What if our host really found one today?”
Luo Feng quickly excavated the fossil up to two meters below the surface.
When the rock exceeded two meters, Luo Feng could no longer stand while excavating.
He had to use ropes for the digging process.
This excavation took about two hours.
A fossil with 80% completeness was eventually unearthed by Luo Feng.
The fossil was nearly 15 meters tall, while the dinosaur itself was about 12 meters in height.
Its massive head, powerful legs, and tail were truly terrifying.
Such a creature was indeed a king of all beasts.
No wonder it was the top predator during the dinosaur era.
Could this be a Tyrannosaurus Rex?
Luo Feng immediately took out his phone and called out, “Professor Liu, I seem to have found a Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil here. Would you like to come over and take a look?”
Good heavens.
A Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil?
At this moment, Professor Liu felt like he had misheard, asking, “What did you say? What kind of dinosaur fossil did you say you’ve found?”
“A Tyrannosaurus Rex! Yes, the ancient overlord, Tyrannosaurus Rex!” Luo Feng confidently replied.
He knew that no Tyrannosaurus Rex fossils had ever been found in the country.
So, it was normal for the other party to be excited at the moment.
Perhaps they thought he was mistaken for another dinosaur?
“A Tyrannosaurus rex? THE Tyrannosaurus rex? Are… are you sure? Don’t be mistaken!” At this moment, Professor Liu was clearly dumbfounded.
If Luo Feng were one of his students, then he would quickly chalk it up to his student making a mistake, after all, their lack of experience made them prone to such mistakes.
However, he was talking to Luo Feng, someone who had profound knowledge on most topics, and would generally not make any mistakes.
“Yes, I’m very sure it’s a Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil! After all, the imposing body of a Tyrannosaurus rex is relatively easy to recognize!” Luo Feng nodded.
“Where are you?”
“I’m a few hundred meters down the slope from where you are!” said Luo Feng.
“Alright, wait for me. I’ll be right there!”
Having said that, Professor Liu, who was currently excavating a valuable Pterosaur fossil, could no longer care less about it.
He directly ran towards the slope below.
He soon saw Luo Feng hanging from a rope next to the rock.
In his eagerness, he ran to Luo Feng’s side.
Without even greeting Luo Feng, Professor Liu retreated several dozen meters, wanting to see the original appearance of the fossil.
After all, a fossil with a height of over ten meters required one to step back to see the full picture.
“It’s… It’s really a Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil…”
“Is this scientifically possible? Could it be a different Tyrannosaur? Should we confirm it once more?”
“Or maybe it’s a Zhucheng Tyrannosaur?”
After taking a closer look at the fossil, a flabbergasted Professor Liu spoke incoherently, unable to believe it was real.
“Actually, I’m not sure either, since its features closely resemble those of a Tyrannosaurus Rex!” Luo Feng chuckled.
Scientists require rigor. Though one can claim that the fossil looks like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, they must not claim with absolute certainty until they have properly verified its identity.
Otherwise, their words can easily backfire on them.
“It doesn’t seem to be a Zhucheng Tyrannosaur, as its size is significantly larger!” Luo Feng began, “I think there’s a high probability it’s a Tyrannosaurus
Rex!”
“But there hasn’t been a Tyrannosaurus rex found in our nation for centuries!” Professor Liu swallowed hard as he continued to stare at the fossil.
“But now, haven’t we just discovered one?” Luo Feng smiled, “Plus, I have a hypothesis in mind too!”
“Go ahead and tell me your thoughts.”
“Professor Liu, have you ever been out to sea?” Instead of answering directly, Luo Feng asked this question.
“Of course I’ve been out to sea. Why do you ask?” Professor Liu did not quite understand where Luo Feng was going with this.
“What do you usually do at sea?” Luo Feng continued.
“I conduct archaeological research at sea… Ah, I see what you mean… That’s indeed a possibility!” Professor Liu suddenly understood.
He nodded in agreement.
“Uh, what are these two talking about?”
“Yeah, why can’t I understand a single word?”
“Host, please translate for us. What kind of riddles are you two discussing?”
“By the way, what’s the purpose of conducting archaeology at sea?”
Luo Feng smiled and said, “It’s common knowledge that dinosaurs lived on land, but their bodies often ended up in the ocean, carried by rivers. That’s why many archaeologists conduct research at sea.”
“It’s possible that many fossils here have drifted in from the ocean!”
As Luo Feng spoke, Professor Liu interjected, “Yes, that’s right. Professor Gu Santong, for example, has discovered many marine fossils here… This can serve as corroborating evidence.”
At this moment, Professor Liu had no choice but to admit it.
This young man’s mind worked incredibly fast.
“So, is it a Tyrannosaurus Rex? I just want to know the answer to this one question!”
