Chapter Seventy-Seven: Every Second Counts

"When?" Wang happily asked.

Wu Zhongyuan eagerly recalled, "We arrived at the hotel in the early morning that day, and I washed away the confetti in the afternoon, and the dung truck also went that afternoon." ”

At this time, Wang Xinran calmed down, "Interval?"

Wu Zhongyuan tried to recall the details, "After I washed away those confetti, you went to the back room to tell me the test results of the spirit stone, and then I thought that the house was full of smoke, so I wanted to open the window to breathe, and as soon as I opened the window, I saw the dung truck passing downstairs, and you asked me if I was farting." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"It won't take more than an hour from the time you flush the confetti to the time they pump the sewage away, it's no coincidence, it's probably their doing. Wang Xinran said in a deep voice.

"What now?" Wu Zhongyuan's face was very ugly. The clue leaked, and he fell into complete passivity.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's ugly face, Wang Xinran comforted him in turn, "Don't worry, the room we live in is exclusively for the chief, you sleep in the inner room, and the toilet you use is also the toilet in the inner room, and the sewer pipe should be specially made." ”

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, he dialed the phone and asked the headquarters to send someone to the room where they had lived to conduct a detailed examination, and asked the technician to estimate how long the paper would be soaked in water before the handwriting would be completely blurred.

To estimate this, it is necessary to know the texture of the paper and what pen the handwriting is written with, when he learned that the texture is kraft paper, and the words are written with a ballpoint pen, Wang Xinran breathed a sigh of relief, because the kraft paper will become very loose after entering the water, and the words written with a ballpoint pen are also easy to blur.

But when Wu Zhongyuan told her that in addition to the kraft paper, there was also an original Tibetan written in ink on the sheepskin, Wang Xinran almost collapsed, and the ink written on the sheepskin would not blur even if it was soaked in water for five or six hours.

The headquarters has sent someone to rush to the hotel where the two of them stayed before as fast as possible, and the only thing the two can do at this time is to wait, wait, wait, worry, and wait.

The eighteenth sub-bureau is extremely efficient, and there was an echo after an hour and a half, Wu Zhongyuan couldn't hear what the other party said, so he could only look at Wang Xinran nervously, Wang Xinran answered the phone except for 'um' and 'good', he almost didn't say anything else, and after hanging up the phone, he began to click on the mobile phone, as if he was looking at something.

"How's it going?" Wu Zhongyuan asked nervously.

"A good news or a bad news, which one do you listen to first?" Wang happily swiped the screen of his mobile phone and did not look up.

Upon hearing the good news, Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Bad." ”

"It is true that the manure tanker was not sent by the municipality, and the sewage in the septic tank has not decreased, they should have just taken the floating debris from the sewage. Wang said happily.

"What's the good news?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"The good news is that the sewer pipe in the chief's room has a filter screen, which is used to prevent some small items that the chief is carrying with him from falling into the toilet and being flushed. Wang said happily.

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly, "I cut that sheepskin into thin strips and washed it away, is there a leather strip stuck on the screen?"

"yes, it's stuck. After Wang happily finished speaking, he handed over the mobile phone.

Wu Zhongyuan took the phone and saw two photos of thin strips of sheepskin on the screen, and although he had been in the damp sewer pipe for seven or eight days, the handwriting on them was still clearly visible.

The Tibetan text on the sheepskin had been translated by his own side at this time, and it was very scattered, not because the handwriting was blurred, but because he had an extra heart when cutting the sheepskin, and it was cut horizontally, and the words on the sheepskin were originally written vertically.

"The others must have fallen into their hands," Mr. Wang said happily, "and you recall what they knew and what they didn't." ”

Even if Wang Xinran didn't say it, Wu Zhongyuan was also doing this, there were a total of more than 30 words on the two strips of leather that were not taken away by the other party, some of which were irrelevant, even if the other party was missing, he could guess what the content was, and some of the content was more specific, and the other party had no way to speculate.

After recalling and comparing, Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "Except for the specific location of the formation, and one of the steps to enter the formation, they all know everything else." ”

"Be clear. Wang Xinran had been smoking, and the room was filled with smoke.

"They know that the formation is related to that river, but they don't know where the formation is located in that river. That formation was left over from ancient times, located in an underwater underground palace, and there were three steps to enter the underground palace, and the last step they didn't know how to open. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Are you sure?!" Wang Xinran accentuated.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer immediately, and carefully compared and recalled, and then nodded heavily, "Sure." ”

"I'm going to send these clues to Headquarters as well. Wang happily looked at Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, now that the clues have been leaked, every second counts, whoever finds the clues first may find the spirit stone first.

Wang Xinran sent the clues intercepted back to the headquarters, and asked the headquarters to mobilize all the manpower to find the relevant clues as quickly as possible.

"Are you sure they can't find the formation?" Wang Xinran confirmed again.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Sure, they only know that the formation is related to that river, but they don't know the specific location, and they don't know that the formation is underwater." ”

"Which river?" Wang was dissatisfied, Wu Zhongyuan had been describing a certain river with 'that river', which showed that he still didn't want to show her his hole cards.

Wu Zhongyuan hesitated.

"Say, you've been hiding and hiding, didn't you still reveal it in the end?" Wang happily glanced at Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan still didn't speak, and he pondered for a long time before he sighed, "Luoshui, the formation is under the water at the confluence of Luoshui and the Yellow River. ”

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's depressed expression of "having nothing", Wang Xinran regretted it a little, and he should not force an insecure person to withdraw his last protection.

"You don't have to worry, I won't tell anyone. Wang happily patted Wu Zhongyuan on the shoulder.

"What now?" Wu Zhongyuan was in a hurry.

"What else can we do, confront the Western hostile forces head-on," Wang Xinran said with a straight face, "They have strong backup, and we also have it, from now on, it is to compare strength, efficiency, technology, all-round competition and competition." ”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, what Wang Xinran said was right, things have developed so far, it has become a contest between countries, Zhao Ying and the others will not contact him in the early stage, all they have to do is to find as many spirit stones as possible, as long as the spirit stones in his hand are not enough to start the formation, in the end, they can only take the initiative to negotiate with the other party.

The first thing she did was to ask for a special plane, an airplane that could take off and land from the country's major military airports, and the major military regions would dispatch helicopters and cars to be on standby to ensure that as long as they received clues, they would be able to rush to their destination as quickly as possible.

The next step was to close all the libraries to the county annals to strengthen security, and at the same time set up a firewall to prevent hackers from intruding into the network.

Top historians are also recruited to find clues about the relevant eras.

"Why is there such a big formation?" Wu Zhongyuan was shocked, Wang Xinran's actions were too big, and it was completely a posture of imminent war.

"Believe me, the opponent is doing the same thing," Wang said happily, grabbing his backpack, "Let's go, the car is coming." ”

"Where are you going?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Go to the airport. The king gladly opened the door and went out.

Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly carried his backpack and followed, "Where are you going?"

"Northwest. Wang happily quickened his pace.

Out of the door of the guest house, I saw that a military jeep had been parked under the steps, Wang Xinran showed his work card, opened the door and got into the car, and when Wu Zhongyuan also got into the car, the car started and went straight to the airport.

Along the way, Wang Xinran kept fiddling with his mobile phone and did not speak to Wu Zhongyuan.

This is a dual-use airport, the car directly sent the two to the plane, this is a small plane, after the two got on the plane, the plane immediately taxied out of the runway, the passenger plane that was originally going to take off was postponed, to make way for the small plane.

Wu Zhongyuan never dreamed that he would be able to take a special plane one day, in addition to being nervous and excited, he was also a little scared, "As for it." ”

"As for," Wang Xinran was still fiddling with his mobile phone, "science and technology are the primary productive forces, and your matter involves quantum physics, genetic biology and other scientific fields, and whoever has first-hand information will be able to surpass their opponents in these fields." ”

"Am I so valuable for research?" Wu Zhongyuan had the intention to enliven the atmosphere.

Wang Xinran may still be communicating and coordinating with various departments, and did not answer Wu Zhongyuan's words.

"Where are we going now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Wudu, Gansu," Wang said happily. The person we are looking for has already had eyebrows, this person has not changed his name, and his name is Wu Lu, this person has been stranded in Huangxian for more than a year, and later was appreciated by Qian Yunzhi, the general of Guangwei who passed through here, and recruited his subordinates, and then he has been following Qian Yunzhi, and he has been promoted to the deputy general of Wupin, and then Qian Yunzhi returned to his hometown, he took over Qian Yunzhi's position, and was named General Mingwei, in the second year of Yuanzhen, that is, in 1296, Tubo rebelled, attacked Jiezhou, Jiezhou is now Wudu, Gansu, Wu Lu led the army to quell the rebellion, and died there. ”

"So fast. Wu Zhongyuan was moved, he didn't expect that he would be able to find Wu Lu's clues in such a short period of time.

"He hasn't changed his name, it's easier to find. Wang said happily, "We can find out, and so can they, so we have to rush over as soon as possible." ”

"Do you know where he's buried?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I just know roughly where it is. Wang happily put down his phone and rubbed his eyes, "It takes time for us to search, it takes time for them to search, they start before we do, I hope to rush over before they find the grave." ”

"It should be possible, we can fly as we please, they can't. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang nodded happily, "Yes, this is our home field, we have a great advantage, but we can't be blindly optimistic, they are also fully aware of the seriousness of this matter and the huge potential scientific research value, they will use all the forces and technical means they can use to compete with us." ”

"How long will it take for us to get to our destination?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Two hours. Wang Xinran picked up the mobile phone again and clicked the operation, "Now that the situation is clear, they are all rushing for time, they must be out of the nest, we can't fight alone, think about what problems we may encounter, I will ask the corresponding personnel from the headquarters to come over to help......"
