The Secret History of Mars

If Baijintang and Zijintang still have a bit of Shiyiji architecture, then the Daming Palace coming towards them at the end of Zhuque Qianmen Street left Yuan Yizhou and others completely speechless.

It sounds like Wen Zou Zou's name has nothing to do with its appearance! This is a temple built with dinosaur bones! ! Even before entering, the gloomy evil aura makes people shudder!

Yuan Yizhou and the others looked at this building from the ground and could only get a glimpse of it. The white bones occupied most of everyone's attention. A few bones on the steps at the door seemed to be faintly bloodshot!

But Cui Xingmeng, riding in the Miemeng Gallery in mid-air, could see things more clearly. So many white bones are not piled up in a haphazard manner. The entire Daming Hall is shaped like a dragon's head facing south.

The main frame of the entire Daming Palace is made of the backbones of giant dinosaurs, which were finely ground, and then the ribs of medium-sized dinosaurs were carved into brick walls. What Yuan Yizhou and the others saw on the ground were already outside the walls according to the taste of the palace owner. , made for decoration.

Putting aside the bloody and cruel elements, looking at the building itself, it is indeed a work of art! Due to the special materials used and self-prestige, Baijintang and Zijintang were eclipsed in front of Daming Palace. No wonder Pinxiong and Luhu dared to be so extravagant in front of Long Yaotian.

The motorboat stopped in front of the steps of Daming Palace. When the Wolf Dog Man saw the three people getting off the motorboat, they ran away without looking back, as if they were fleeing.

Standing in front of this palace of dinosaur bones, the pungent smell of blood made Yuan Yizhou and others a little nauseous.

‘For the retarded orcs who still like to eat raw meat, taste is obviously not a factor they need to worry about when building a residence. ’ Ye Qinghe rolled his eyes and thought with disdain.

Soon after crawling out of the hall, an orc with a rat head and a rat tail came to the crowd with a nod and a bow, and said in a squeaky voice, "Mr. Long has been waiting for you for a while, please come with me!" At the same time, a pair of rat-eyed thieves Slipping around on the machine gun that Jia Liang was equipped with, his greedy eyes were undisguised!

As the Rat Man entered the Daming Palace, the strong pungent smell of blood that he had just smelled outside was replaced by a warm, slightly sweet smell.

'It seems that Long Yaotian can't stand the smell outside. It is probably used to scare the orcs and dinosaurs. ’ Ye Qinghe thought to himself.

Yuan Yizhou focused on the smell in the palace at this time, "This aroma is complex and mellow, not simple. The first, middle and last notes of the perfume can be described, giving people a deep, luxurious and mysterious feeling!" '

‘This is ambergris! ! ! ’ Yuan Yizhou was shocked when he recognized this unique aroma!

"What?! There is ambergris in the Daming Palace?! How is it possible? How many are there in Yizhou?" Cui Xingmeng's Xinyujing captured Yuan Yizhou's thoughts. He was equally surprised and asked hurriedly online.

‘It’s everywhere, on the floor, on the walls, on the ceiling. I suspect that this Daming Palace is made of ambergris inside the bones! ’ Yuan Yizhou looked around, and everything he saw was gray or black, solid waxy substance. He lightly touched the wall closest to his hand, then put the touched finger to his nose and smelled it, "It's ambergris, yes, Xingmeng, the same one you auctioned for a sky-high price that year, the King of France." The amber incense kept privately by Louis XVI is of good quality! ’

There was no way for outsiders to interrupt the conversation between the two cultural relic appraisal experts. After Yuan Yizhou finished the appraisal, Ye Qinghe took advantage of the opportunity and asked, 'So something more expensive than a gold and diamond keel is used as cement here? ’

"The important thing is not the price. I think what Yizhou is worried about is the origin of these ambergris!" Cui Xingmeng directly started to explain online.

"How do you tell me about your origin?" Wen Yuze simply turned into a fan of the radio station and asked Cui Xingmeng questions and answers.

"The reason why ambergris is precious is that it is very rare! It is caused by sperm whales having difficulty digesting the hard jaw bones of giant squids and remaining in their stomachs after swallowing giant squids." Cui Xingmeng said concisely and comprehensively, "It's a bit like pearls The formation process requires a pearl core to be placed in the pearl clam to trigger it.”

"So these squid jawbones are the proto-nucleus of ambergris?" Wen Yuze tried to understand Cui Xingmeng's explanation.

"Yes, these jawbones that are not easily digested will be wrapped by substances secreted in the intestines of sperm whales, making them easier to excrete. But the problem is that normal feces of sperm whales are liquid," Cui Xingmeng swallowed and continued, " Therefore, its anus has no way to excrete. The pronucleus of the cuttlefish jawbone is solidly wrapped, so it will block the rectum or anus and form fecal stones. Over time, it will absorb the liquid feces of the sperm whale, and then pass through the bacteria and The combined action of various enzymes finally forms ambergris!”

"Ugh~" Although Cui Xingmeng talked professionally and vividly, it still caused everyone to have an uncomfortable reaction to the ambergris formation process. The first person who couldn't control it was the water in the sky, and he rushed directly to the toilet of Miemeng Gallery.

"I just praised Long Yaotian for the good taste in Daming Palace. I didn't expect the origin of this ambergris to be so..." Ye Qinghe returned to her contemptuous look.

"Cat poop coffee beans are produced based on the same principle. Aren't they also popular among so many people?" Cui Xingmeng felt that everyone was a bit ignorant!

‘The key to the problem is that there is only one way to obtain ambergris. The Daming Palace used so much ambergris. Where did they get it? ! ’ Yuan Yizhou saw that Cui Xingmeng had finished explaining the basic knowledge and started to remind everyone.

"About every 100 sperm whales, only one will have ambergris in its body. The largest ambergris in human recorded history is only 455 kilograms." Cui Xingmeng continued to echo Yuan Yizhou and provide everyone with data and information.

’ If the Daming Palace really used ambergris as cement, it would cost at least tens of thousands of kilograms. Where did they find so many sperm whales with ambergris in their bodies? ‘Yuan Yizhou slowly expressed his worries. 'The sperm whale is one of the largest marine mammals in the Shiyi Period. I don't know Yu Ze's Qiyan Period. If the Jurassic period used dinosaurs, reptiles, as the main cultivated species, then it is very likely that the flying dragon will In addition to the hostages, there are other goods transported out of the hole in the sky! '

"Are you saying that Long Yaotian is passing through the wormhole and traveling to Shi Yiji's laboratory to plunder supplies?" Wen Yuze understood Yuan Yizhou's worries.

‘I’m afraid, not only the Shiyiji Laboratory, but also Yu Ze, even if all the sperm whales in the Shiyiji Laboratory were killed, there wouldn’t be so much ambergris! ’ Yuan Yizhou expressed his real concern, ‘That hole with the flying dragon in the sky is probably not just leading to the Stone Yi Period! ’
