Chapter 179 The Lost 12 Billion Years
"I'm not dead yet!"

Under the surprised and terrified eyes of everyone, Walter turned over and sat up.

"You're pretending to be dizzy, are you not dizzy?"

Chen Quan cried out in surprise.

"It's a faint, but I have received similar training and woke up a long time ago."

Walter stood up and patted the ashes on his body smartly.

"When did you wake up?" Chen Quan opened his mouth wide open. "You actually dare to lie to God?"

"God? A guy who pretends to be a ghost. He probably used something like infrasound waves to sneak attack us when we were unprepared." James also sat up from the ground and kicked Wang Qing beside him. "Get up. You've woken up a long time ago, don't think I don't know."

"hey-hey."

Wang Qing got up with a grunt, and he stood up even faster than James.

"you."

Seeing the corpses on the ground come back to life one after another, several Egyptians who didn't know whether they were soldiers or policemen backed away in fright. "Are you human or ghost?"

There have been legends about the resurrection of mummies in Egypt since ancient times, coupled with the current location of everyone, it makes people imagine.

"what do you say?"

With his chest out, Walter approached the soldier who asked the question.Although he took two steps back in the opposite direction, he seemed relieved.

"Hi, get up. Stop pretending! Are you afraid now? Can you escape by pretending to be dizzy? Hi! Come On!"

Walter turned around and kicked Dr. Amode who was lying on the ground.

"Could it be that he is really comatose? Did he fall unconscious?? Let me search and see what's on him! Nothing?. Strange."

"What are you doing? What happened to Dr. Ahmed? Why did he pass out? Why did you search Dr. Ahmod's body?"

The problems of young people are endless. "I need an explanation! What did you all do here?"

"Let's go, let's go. Go and find out what that The Great Unconformity is." Huatli ignored the group of soldiers, and took the lead to crawl outside.

Chen Quan and Qu Yanqiu thought about it and decided to keep up.Staying at the scene and facing the Egyptians' cross-examination alone, the two have no chance of winning.

"Hey! There is still one lying on the ground!"

Behind the crowd, the shouts of young people came from afar. "You can't leave Dr. Ahmed to us. Will he be resurrected..."

Cairo University, Faculty of Archeology, conference room.

Wearing glasses and gray-haired Professor Robert, he introduced The Great Unconformity to a group of intelligence officials from the United States and three Chinese tourists.

Some European and American scholars are permanently stationed in Egypt to do various research work, and Professor Robert is one of the few professors invited by Walt temporarily.

"There really is such a thing."

Chen Quan and others, the more they listened, the more they felt something was wrong.

In geology, stratigraphic unconformity refers to the stratigraphic contact relationship between the upper and lower sets of strata of different ages, where there has been a sedimentary gap or a lack of strata.The formation is discontinuous, and the sequence of paleontological evolution is also discontinuous, so the age of the rock formation is also discontinuous.

The Great Unconformity specifically refers to a global lack of strata that lasted 12 billion years before the Cambrian.

There are two main ways to form rock layers on the earth, one is magma eruption and cooling, and the other is deposition, whether it is the deposition of dust or the deposition of solids in the ocean.

But either way, as long as the Earth is alive, new rocks will continue to be formed.

As long as there is an atmosphere, dust will continue to fall, as long as there are oceans, the seabed will continue to thicken, as long as there is magma, basalt will continue to form.

But in a series of explorations at the beginning of this century, it was discovered that a large, 12 billion-year-old rock layer was missing in the rock layers of the entire earth.

Whether it is the United States, Siberia or Europe, as long as you drill down deep enough, you will encounter this mysterious unconformity between two rock layers.

"This geological phenomenon is very common. It tells us that there is a very, very important story in the history of the earth that we have not yet understood. The Great Unconformity is the biggest mystery in geology."

Professor Robert finally concluded.

"With regard to the large-angle unconformity of strata, don't you have any guesses?"

Qu Yanqiu asked.

"Um"

Professor Robert looked around in surprise, but several intelligence officials obviously respected the 20-year-old girl, and no one expressed any dissatisfaction with her preemptive speech.

"Geological experts around the world have done many deduction and put forward several hypotheses, such as snow planets, super continents, and even the measurement error hypothesis.

The principle of the snow planet comes from the erosion of glaciers.Like rivers, glaciers move, but very slowly.As glaciers move, they gradually wash away the surface beneath the ice.Layers of rock on the Earth's surface have been eroded away in entire layers by glaciers.

A supercontinent refers to a landmass on the surface of the earth that has completely sunk to the bottom of the ocean.But no matter which one, it is impossible to perfectly explain the global absence of strata at the level of 10 billion years.Because during these 12 billion years, even older strata still exist.

Unless some extreme situation occurs, the earth's atmosphere is completely taken away, the oceans are frozen, and even the activities of the earth's core are completely prohibited.But this is completely impossible for the earth in the habitable zone!

Even Mars, which is far outside the Earth's orbit, has an atmosphere. "

"Okay. Thank you, Professor Robert."

Walter, who presided over the meeting, politely sent the old professor out.

"We have the next one, Professor of Biology, Professor Fiona. Ask her to introduce us to the Cambrian Explosion."

A middle-aged woman in her 40s walked in.

"The Cambrian Explosion refers to the phenomenon that a large number of species suddenly appeared on the earth out of thin air in a short period of time 5.4 million years ago.

Because this species appeared too many, too fast, and too suddenly, we call it a big explosion.All known species on Earth can be traced back to the Cambrian Explosion.

There are several phenomena in the Cambrian Explosion that have puzzled biologists.

First, such a large number of species appeared almost at the same time in a short period of time, and there was not enough evolutionary time between species.

It took a full 40 billion years for life on earth to grow from nothing, and then evolve from primitive life to single-celled organisms to multi-cellular organisms.In the Cambrian period, in a very short period of time, life suddenly exploded, and the types and forms of living things evolved almost suddenly.

This is not evolution at all, but mutation.

Second, there is no necessary connection between the newly emerged species and the species before the Cambrian.

Judging from the fossils we have obtained, the organisms before the Cambrian period are difficult to classify with modern biology, such as strange things that look like giant three-leaved fission plants in science fiction films, and giant oval creatures that are squashed.

Why these ancient creatures became extinct completely is also an important mystery in biology.No obvious inheritance was found between the organisms before and after the Cambrian.

Darwin could not find a reasonable explanation for the Cambrian Explosion, the proposer of the theory of evolution.Darwin even asserted that if one day, someone can overthrow his theory of evolution, then the evidence must come from the Cambrian Explosion. "

"Dr. Chen, Ms. Qu, what do you two think?"

Walter waited for a long time, but no one spoke, so he ordered. "We are not engaged in scientific research, and we are not good at these things."

"My research direction is neither geology nor biology, so I have no right to speak. But judging from the known evidence, what he said makes sense." Chen Quan decided to surrender to the facts.

"Who is right? Have you found any new clues?" Professor Fiona asked who was ignored by everyone. "If you really find something, believe me, you will definitely become famous in one fell swoop."

"I'm already famous."

Chen Quan shrugged.

"He is right, Dr. Chen Quan, the one who invented M theory."

Walter stood up and invited the curious female professor outside.

".We have nothing to say at the moment..If there is any definite news, we will definitely let you know..Yes, of course..Of course you can trust us."
