Chapter 1 Elixir 1
Towering mountains, there are a row of footprints on the vast white snow. The Nandu Geological Bureau accidentally obtained an ancient map that marked the location of the ancient Kunlun Mountain.
The Geological Bureau organized a delegation of dozens of people to look for the Kunlun Mountain, which has been academically debated for a long time.
"Professor Wang, is this the legendary Kunlun Mountain in ancient times?" This place is longitudinal and horizontal, winding and rugged, perennial snow, and the altitude is as high as thousands of meters.
Professor Wang took out a yellowed animal skin map and looked at it, and then looked at the longitude and latitude instrument in his hand, "Well, it should be here, that's right, this is what is recorded on the map." ”
"But don't the ancient books record that the Kunlun Mountains are ten thousand feet high? ”
"The size and height recorded in ancient books cannot be compared with the current measurement, you have all heard of it. Let's do it, Liu Chao, you first lead the team to measure and mark here, where will we camp later, and then go to the mountain peak in front tomorrow, don't forget to take pictures and archive. "Professor Wang has a kind face and is very patient, and he seems to be the kind of peaceful person.
"Okay, let's do it. The team stopped and began to get busy.
Professor Wang continued to take the ancient map in his hand and carefully examine it.
"Ah。。。 Suddenly, an exclamation was heard not far away, and Professor Wang and the team members immediately ran over to check the situation.
"Yiyi... Tong Yiyi. Professor Wang, Yiyi fell. Liu Chao looked at the bottomless pit very anxiously, and the team members also nervously surrounded him.
"I'm fine. After Yiyi fell into the pit, he heard the shouts from above, and also responded, and when he looked up, he found that there was something in a piece of ice, and when he got closer, he shone it with a flashlight, and there was actually a person inside.
Although through the thick layer of ice, you can still see the strong body and handsome face of the iceman. Tong Yiyi was so deeply attracted that she didn't hear the constant shouts above.
In the shouts of many people, Tong Yiyi finally came back to her senses and shouted excitedly, "There is a person in the ice below." ”
Next, they lowered the rope, and Professor Wang personally went down to take a look, and sure enough, there were people in the ice, which was a major discovery, so they contacted the relevant departments.
For months afterward, they used cutting tools to bring the ice back to the National Archaeological Research Service.
The ice cubes are placed in the research room, which is specially made and uses the latest refrigeration technology imported from abroad. The laboratory is connected to the observation room by a piece of transparent glass, through which the situation in the laboratory can be seen. An expert group composed of top domestic archaeological experts, biology experts, genetics experts and other related experts will carry out in-depth research on it.
After a detailed examination of the ice cubes, all the experts were surprised to find that although the iceman's heart had stopped beating, the blood in his body did not seem to be completely frozen, and there seemed to be signs of slow flow, which was simply incredible.
Experts estimate that the Iceman is at least 5,000 years old. Some experts have different opinions, judging from the costume of the iceman, it should belong to the costume of the late Warring States period. Some experts say that this is the costume of the Chu people in the Spring and Autumn Period.
In short, each has its own inferences, and opinions are deadlocked. At this time, some experts advocate that it be thawed, and maybe it can be resurrected, and then let him tell the origin himself, which is of great significance for understanding the history of the ancients.
As soon as this idea was put forward, it was opposed, because some experts were worried that this person had been frozen for thousands of years, and it was not known whether there was any unknown virus in his body, and if it spread, the consequences would be unimaginable. At present, the best way is to freeze the study, which is the safest, but the cryonics study can not touch the flesh, can not make a better judgment, and due to the lack of relevant technology in China, the highest authority of the country finally decided to thaw it to facilitate more detailed research.
The thawing process is very slow, first using a sophisticated instrument to remove the excess ice from the iceman's body, leaving a specific thickness, a process that takes several days. It then needs to be allowed to thaw slowly and naturally at a specific temperature. During this period, there will be dedicated personnel to take care of you 24 hours a day.
The news that the Nandu Geological Bureau found the iceman spread far and wide, and many reporters at home and abroad gathered at the door of the Geological Bureau for a long time, but the reply they got was: This matter was made out of nothing.
Naturally, the reporters did not believe it, and accused the Geological Bureau of concealing it, even if there were police officers to maintain law and order, there were still many reporters squatting at the door of the Geological Bureau 24 hours a day, wanting to ask about the situation.
The director of the Geological Bureau is now quite a headache, obviously the iceman is not here, but these reporters are trying to chase after them, so that they dare not go out. The most troublesome thing, this matter can't be publicized to the outside world, the key is that he hasn't seen the iceman either, he only knew about it when he saw the reported documents, and the researchers didn't say a word when they came back, obviously it was explained from above, so he didn't dare to ask more.
The National Institute of Archaeology is in Kyoto, which is not only close to the ancient Kunlun Mountains, but also has the most advanced scientific instruments in China, all of which are imported from abroad, although expensive, but they are currently the best in the world.
All the top domestic experts gathered in Kyoto, and due to research needs, Professor Wang Ziang was invited to stay, and at the request of Professor Wang, two students, Liu Chao and Tong Yiyi, were also left behind to assist.
During the period when the Iceman was thawed, many experts began to study how to resurrect the Iceman and how to restore it after the resurrection, which was the most important topic of discussion at the moment. In addition, they also formulated a second set of plans, if the iceman cannot be resurrected, how to dissect and study, how to control the potential unknown virus, which is also the focus of the discussion.
After several days of intense discussions, the experts all insisted on their own opinions, and the discussion entered a white-hot discussion, and it was difficult to reach a consensus every day.
The ice on the ice platform in the research room is slowly melting, a process that has been going on for more than ten days, but even if the ice is maintained at about three degrees, it is difficult to dissolve automatically.
In the observation room outside the research room, there are personnel on duty 24 hours a day, and in the middle of summer, it is difficult for the personnel on duty to stay in this stuffy environment with only a few electric fans to blow the air.
"It's so hot, why is it so hot this summer? It doesn't seem to be so hot in previous years!" The two guards sat on their chairs and fanned the wind with electric fans in their hands, and even so, it was still unbearably hot.
"Who's to say it wasn't, if we could have air conditioning here, it would be much cooler. The guard sat on the stool, already suffering from the heat, and he didn't want to fan it, because as long as he moved his hands, his body would sweat.
"I'm afraid you're thinking too much, it's a new thing. Why don't we go out and take a well shower to cool off?"
"I'm afraid not, we were ordered to guard here, how can we leave our posts without permission!"
"You see the ice is still very thick, it hasn't melted for so many days, it's okay, let's go." ”
The guard looked at the ice, it was indeed very thick, and it melted a little bit in a day, and someone came early in the morning to record the data and collect the air inside to see if there was any virus out.
"You're right, go, it's too hot in here. ”
The two hit it off, and as they left, he looked at the ice in the research room, closed the door and locked it.
As soon as the guards left, the ice began to crack, and the "click" sound made the cracks bigger and bigger, until they all shattered.
The ice shatters, revealing the true face of the Iceman. After the ice shattered, his chest began to rise and fall, and he breathed and his heart began to beat.
"Brother Chu Han, don't sleep, get up quickly. Suddenly a consciousness occurred in the Iceman's mind, and the voice of a little girl echoed in his ears, and her figure and smile appeared. All the memories suddenly emerged, and then he opened his eyes suddenly, and consciously touched the wooden sword beside him, this wooden sword was purple all over, it was made of the ancient god Mu Jianmu, and it had the magic effect of calming the soul and warding off evil spirits, and within ten steps, the demons and monsters were not allowed to get close.
He got up and looked at everything here, it was an unfamiliar environment, and looking at this situation, it seemed that he should be locked up.
He searched for a way out of the small research room, and found that the four walls were too hard to shake. Eventually, he noticed the single glass in front of him, and after a few taps to make sure it was empty, he took a few steps back and slammed into it.
The two guards were taking a well bath outside, when they suddenly heard a noise, they were shocked, and immediately put down the bucket and ran towards the research room. Before I could get to the research room, I saw a man with long hair and a strange costume running towards him in the corridor. The two recognized at a glance that it was the iceman frozen in the research room, although these two people were practitioners, but they were uneasy at the moment.
"Stop!" The two of them hurriedly ran towards Chu Han, and at the same time wanted to make a move to control it, but they never thought that this person was very good, just by looking at him, he knocked the two unconscious.
This research institute is very large, with several floors, and Chu Han is wandering around in it, unable to find a way out.
One of the people who was knocked unconscious woke up, first pushed the colleague next to him, and saw that he didn't respond, so he endured the pain and sounded the alarm.
The alarm sounded, and the inside of the institute began to agitate, and everyone began to run outside, although they didn't know what was going on, but when they heard the alarm, something must have happened.
There was a panic in the research institute, and Chu Han pushed open a door in a hurry, which was the public bathhouse of the research institute, and when he walked in, he heard the voice of a woman singing.
The chaotic footsteps outside made Chu Han a little worried, and he walked quickly to the source of the singing voice.
It was Tong Yiyi who was taking a bath inside, because of overtime, it was already midnight and three shifts, and she was the only one taking a bath here. She hummed a small tune, letting the water wash her body, when the shower curtain was suddenly opened, only to see a strange man in a strange costume appear in front of her, before Yiyi could open her mouth, her mouth was covered and pushed to the wall, she stood there stiffly and did not dare to move.
