The miracle of nature: the survival of more than 6,000 years in the rock

Toad can survive for thousands of years?
There is a Chinese proverb: "The Millennium King, the Wannian Turtle." Of course, this is just a metaphor. It is not that they can live for thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years, but only to describe their longevity. However, in the United Kingdom, I have found many times of super longevity, and even one has been determined to have lived for at least 6,000 years. God! 6000 years? Will it be the United Kingdom?

I think the United Kingdom will not be bored to this point. In the current biological record, the first time that people discovered the super longevity was in 1835, when the railway from London to Birmingham was being built, the workers responsible for clearing the road were carrying stones on the scene, one of them I accidentally dropped a piece of red sand rock, and the rock broke into the ground in an instant, split in two. Unexpectedly, the red sand rock was hollow, and a dark object fell from the hollow. When the workers took a closer look, it turned out to be a living dragonfly.

Yes, these workers are not blinded. This is indeed a yellow-brown cockroach. Unfortunately, this poor guy turned black in less than 10 minutes in the air. More unfortunately, the rock hurt its head when it fell. Although the workers carefully placed them back into the hollow of the rock and restored the rock, it died after 4 days.

However, this is not a case. The second time people discovered the ripples in the rock was in 1865. When the water supply system was built in Hartpool, Duane County, England, the construction workers inadvertently dug a scorpion from limestone 25 meters deep from the ground. According to the geological expert's judgment, the limestone that was dug out at that time was formed before 6000 years ago. In other words, this little guy has survived for at least 6,000 years. A cockroach has survived for 6,000 years, which is really incredible. In mythology in our country, practicing the millennium can transform the human form, and for 6,000 years of practice, it must be the big BOSS level. However, this little guy didn't "make it fine" and kept the frog's true color from beginning to end.

The third time was the winter of 1901. An Englishman named Ke Laike was preparing to fill the coal for his own stove. When he broke the coal, it was unexpected that there was a living in the coal. Hey. Unlike the cockroaches that were discovered twice before, the body of this cockroach is completely transparent. Unfortunately, it only died after 5 weeks of living.

Whether it is the sputum found in rocks or the sputum found in coal, they have experienced long geological changes and survived. What is confusing, however, is that these cockroaches survived the lack of water, food, and even air.
Even if there is a trace of water and air that permeates from the rock for us to continue, and does not mention whether this tiny supply is enough to make the cockroach survive, it is hard to imagine that a cockroach can live without food. After thousands of years.

Is the scorpion in the rock similar to what we now call the "frozen man", and during the "freezing" (long sleep) period, all biological functions of the body are suspended, and it is not awake until the external force is received.
Of course, this is just the author's guess. Whether I can really solve this mystery can only be left to time.
