Chapter XXIV
On top of this ruin, there are the corpses of various animals everywhere, and people who look at them are horrible.
The disc site is divided into three layers, the inner and outer layers, and from the gaps in the animal carcass, you can see that it is engraved with strange fonts.
Teacher Meng commanded a few people to carefully wipe the middle of the disc ruins with a cotton cloth soaked in water.
The rest of the people were not idle, the support group was responsible for guarding, and the other groups behaved differently.
Taoist Chief Qianyuanzi led several Taoist priests to sit on the ground, pinched the Dao decision, and chanted words for the animals here to transcend the dead.
A few of Shen Mulan's subordinates took out many strange instruments and measured them everywhere.
Situ Hao was not idle, but led a few of his subordinates to inspect the wounds on the corpses of these animals, and also helped move them aside.
As the site was cleaned up, the font on the site became clearer.
"Teacher, maybe I'm just a little bit of a beginner, this font is so weird, I've never seen it. But..."
Teacher Meng frowned and paused and continued:
"But this ruin, if you look at the degree of weathering, based on my experience over the years, it seems that it is not very far away. Is there a civilization that we haven't discovered?"
Yue Lao nodded and said in a deep voice:
"With my experience over the years, this font really doesn't belong to any kind of script in the world today, so let's take as many photos as we can first, bring them back and then analyze and study them carefully. ”
Teacher Meng nodded, and then went on with his business.
They worked until three o'clock, and then everyone went home, and although there were still three hours before dark, Shi Lao still ordered to go back early, for the sake of caution.
As night fell, in a huge military tent, everyone sat here, waiting for Shi Lao to preside over the meeting.
The commander-in-chief, Shi Lao, glanced at everyone, his eyes were still sharp, and he said:
"Let's talk about it! What did you find today?" ”
Yue Lao coughed and said:
"The height of the site is one meter above the ground, and as for the underground part, it is unknown, but from what we can see so far, it is divided into three layers, forming a very regular circle, which is accurate to the millimeter, and it is very difficult to achieve this even with today's craftsmanship.
For one thing, the ruins are made of stones that are cut so precisely that they are so close to each other that they cannot be inserted, a process that is very similar to the process used to make pyramids.
The diameter of the disc is 1,100 meters, and it is impossible to guess what it is used for, and I have consulted all the archaeological excavations in our country, and there has never been such a site.
And the strangest thing is that the site was built about a thousand years ago, but it does not fit any of the characteristics of that era.
There is a script inscribed everywhere on the site, and as far as I know, it has never appeared in this world.
At present, we can only analyze so much from the perspective of examination research. ”
After Elder Yue finished speaking, Elder Shi asked very suspiciously:
"It's only more than 1,000 years old? Is it possible to be wrong? The Jairian stone statues outside are about 13,000 years old, and they are not related to each other? What is the purpose of this ruin?"
Yue Lao thought about it and said:
"I'm also quite skeptical about this, but the results of the test are true, and as for what it has to do with the Jairus Stone Statue, I can't say the results yet."
Shi Lao nodded, and his eyes looked at Captain Gu again.
"From what we have looked closely, there have been no foreign armies here, not even human presence here, and the animals on the stone plates have not been hunted by thermal weapons, as if they had been drained of blood by a huge needle.
The most strange thing is that, according to our observations, when these beasts were killed, they did not struggle to resist, and their flesh and internal organs were basically intact.
From this, we speculate that the creatures that attack these animals are very strange, and they must be social creatures, small but incredibly powerful, and capable of confusing all kinds of animals, which is somewhat similar to an early encounter in the African rainforest. ”
"Oh?" Shi Lao frowned and motioned for him to continue.
"During our mission, we encountered a giant bat, as was the case with the carcasses of the animals it attacked.
So I'm going to speculate that there should be a large number of giant bats living here. ”
"Then why did they throw these animal carcasses on this stone plate?
Lin Lao stood up and said:
"Bats are pterocods, pterocods are the second largest group of animals after rodents, is a class of mammals that have evolved to truly fly, there are 19 families, 185 genera and 961 species of biological species, except for some islands in the polar regions and oceans, distributed all over the world, in the tropics and subtropics.
Most bats rest during the day and forage at night.
Bats vary greatly in size and size. The largest flying foxes are capable of attacking all types of livestock and sucking their blood, and are one of the largest bat species in the world, with a wingspan of 1.5 to 1.7 meters.
But even then, it is difficult to bring a large animal here, and if it is indeed a bat, then the bat here must be a mutated bat, capable of grabbing such a heavy animal carcass, with a wingspan of at least more than three meters, or even more.
And those who can reach this size are undoubtedly very strong in attack power, and similarly, bats that I know well do not have the habit of accumulating corpses. ”
Lin Lao's introduction reminded Zhu Tianpeng of his identity as another biologist.
Shi Lao nodded and looked at Shen Mulan again.
"The magnetic field fluctuates frequently in the vicinity, and most of the existing instruments are disturbed, so even if a space advent occurs in such a place, we cannot detect the space fluctuations in advance, that is, we cannot predict in advance whether an advent event will occur.
Taoist priest Qianyuanzi stood up, made a bow, and said:
"Although there are corpses everywhere here, there are very few souls left here, and I can't know the whereabouts of these beast souls even after I have done it today, this is one of them.
This site has a strange structure, there is no Taoist formation, with my many years of experience, I have never seen such a layout, and there is no spiritual power found on the site, as for what it is, Poor Dao can't make a judgment for the time being.
However, based on this situation, it seems that these beast souls did not dissipate naturally, and the old man guessed that it was very likely to be devoured, but it was only a guess, because no other clues could be found. ”
After a circle, it is still full of fog, sucking blood and devouring the soul of the beast, is there any monster that can't be done?
Qian Yuanzi seemed to guess what everyone was thinking, and said again:
"As for whether it is a monster or not, it is impossible to decide, after all, there are very few traces of demons after the founding of the country. ”
Zhu Tianpeng was shocked in his heart, could it be that there are really monsters in this world, this Dao Chang is talking and laughing, but seeing that most of the others are not surprised, he can only hold back the doubts in his heart and continue to listen.
"It's also possible that the creatures have descended, and if it's really a group coming, then I'm afraid we can't handle it alone. ”
Shen Mulan was still a little cynical, but the tone of her voice didn't look like she was joking.
Situ Hao had some objections to her words, and he was not polite when he spoke.
"The people of the six places of you just like to be alarmist, for so many years, except for one time in Saudi Arabia a few years ago, it has not happened so far, and this probability is almost none. ”
As if thinking of something, he glanced at Zhu Tianpeng and continued:
"But it's normal for you to miss a lot of time in six places. ”
"Fuck your bullshit, Situ Hao, you're not a member of the General Affairs Bureau, and you're not qualified to comment on us, if you make a big fuss, be careful that I go back and sue you, so that you will become a supernumerary forever." ”
Situ Hao was not annoyed, he still had a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything more, obviously a little jealous of Shen Mulan's words.
The commander-in-chief, Shi Lao, was silent, as if he hadn't heard the battle between the two, and everyone looked at him, and he said slowly.
"What is the truth of the matter, we still need to investigate, from tomorrow, we will continue to carry out the clean-up and excavation work, everyone is vigilant, more drones are released, do a good job of prevention.
In addition, I will build a shelter next to the ruins in case of emergencies.
At this time, no one can act privately, and no one should be alone from the sight of others, even if they go to the toilet, at least three people must act together. ”
The people listened carefully and confirmed what they had done before they left.
Subsequently, the archaeological team held a small meeting under the chairmanship of Yue Lao.
Their task was relatively simple, to record the text on the site as quickly as possible, and if there were other discoveries, it would be best.
Coming to the site again, the archaeological team worked much faster, cleaning, taking pictures, rubbing, and according to this progress, the task could be completed in a few days.
While they were working, some border guards built a reinforced concrete fortress next to it, this fortress left only one entrance and exit on the ground, and the main body was underground.
With the formation of the fortress, the archaeological team members felt much more at ease.
A few days passed, and the sappers began to install various instruments and defensive weapons on the perimeter, and the Taoist commander of Qianyuanzi arranged formations around these pillboxes.
The ruins are all made of stone, which is very strong, and in order to speed up the progress, Yue Lao has transferred some border guards to join in, responsible for cleaning and wiping the ruins.
In this way, the work is much faster.
The image recording of the text on the ruins was quickly completed, and the rubbing could be completed in two more days.
Shi Lao is still constantly urging the progress of the archaeological team, under his supervision, the rubbing work was finally completed ahead of schedule, the archaeological team was temporarily withdrawn to the camp, rested in the camp, and waited for the bunker to be completely built, and then carried out the next step of excavation.
The sorting of photos and related materials was very time-consuming, but fortunately, there were enough people at the stone statue, so Yue Lao and Teacher Meng simply went there.
