Chapter 19: A Surprising Discovery
Seeing Yue Lao and Teacher Meng nodding, everyone observed again, and sure enough, the entire Jianyan head seemed to be natural, without a trace of the axe chisel of later generations.
In addition to the admiration of everyone, the archaeological team did not stop working, video, photographing, sampling, etc., Zhu Tianpeng originally thought that the few people who played soy sauce were beyond his expectations, and they were very skilled in their work, without the appearance of a layman.
Zhu Tianpeng, as an assistant, followed behind Yue Lao and Teacher Meng, and he heard the conversation between the two most clearly.
"Xiao Meng, according to my experience analysis, this stone statue has a long history, in addition to the production techniques, this style is not the appearance recorded by the previous dynasties, it is better like the records in the ancient scriptures. ”
Teacher Meng nodded, and then said:
"In this way, it is really possible that its history is directly related to the Sumerian civilization, and even with today's craftsmanship, it is impossible to make such a large stone head statue, and according to my estimate, its value may be far higher than our estimate. ”
Yue Lao nodded, and leaned over to look at the ground where the skull emerged.
"There should be a burial of Jian's body in the ground, if you want to excavate it all, it will be a lot of work!"
Mr. Meng's tone was firm and unquestionable.
"No matter how large the amount of work is, it will have to be excavated, and according to my estimate, if the experts in Tianjing knew what we saw today, they would not have been able to sleep for the past few days. ”
The two were talking, and suddenly Captain Gu's voice came.
"If a beast approaches quickly in the distance, everyone immediately gets into the car, and if a beast approaches in the distance, everyone immediately gets into the car......"
Hearing this voice, everyone was startled and immediately rushed to the car.
The car started and walked far away, and everyone's hearts were put down, because of the timely retreat, there was no actual encounter with the beast.
Back at the camp, everyone found that they had only been away for a short time, and the walls around the camp had begun to take shape.
Through comparison, they were shocked to find that these black wolves were huge, the smallest of which was more than two meters tall, and their whole bodies were about the same size as the cars on the street.
When the black wolves chased after the stone statue about five kilometers away, they stopped their pursuit and turned around.
"These wolves, with our firepower, should have no problem destroying them if they are deployed properly, but only if there are only so many of them. ”
Captain Gu touched his chin and said with a solemn face.
Zhu Tianpeng was slightly shocked in his heart, it can be seen from the video that there are no less than twenty black wolves, such a number, he is still sure to kill, this combat power should also be extremely terrifying.
Shi Lao shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"Today we have obtained all kinds of information, and it can be regarded as quite a success, whether those black wolves are hunted or not, we need to consult our superiors, Lin Lao is an expert in biology, what do you think about this?"
Everyone looked at Lin Lao when they heard this, his expression was calm, but he surprised everyone when he opened his mouth.
"I've been thinking about this question just now, from the perspective of biological research, they are extremely valuable for research, and it is better to be alive, and even the whole population and ecological environment are left as they are.
But judging from their habits, the cunning level of wolves is not below that of humans, and combined with such a terrifying killing ability, it is definitely a deadly threat to us.
Captain Gu must not despise these black wolves, when the species mutation becomes larger, their brain capacity is also increasing, and they cannot be judged by previous experience. ”
Lin Lao's voice made everyone collectively silent, and after a long while, Shi Lao said again:
"Today, the archaeological team will summarize the information obtained, together with Lin Lao's suggestion, back to Tianjing, waiting for further instructions, in addition to the camp three kilometers outside the set up an automatic monitoring system, one kilometer away set up a mobile post, everyone is not allowed to go out at will without permission, at any time to maintain vigilance, to prevent wolves from sneak attack.
Qianyuanzi Daoist, you have to arrange it around to be prepared. ”
The Taoist chief clasped his palms together and listened to the order, and led the disciples to walk out.
Zhu Tianpeng was very curious about his next move, and he also walked out.
Daoist Qianyuanzi and his disciples were busy around the camp, burying a lot of metal sticks, Zhu Tianpeng looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see the reason, asked Wu Liang, he was also confused, and then heard Teacher Meng greet, so he returned to the tent to assist him in the experiment.
Teacher Meng used the world's most accurate and advanced cultural relics dating detection method, the whole process can be out of three hours, Yue Lao, Teacher Meng is anxiously waiting for the results, the strange thing is that Lin Lao is also sitting on the side, calm on the surface, but the clenched fist still shows that he is a little nervous in his heart.
Time passed minute by minute, and several people only felt that the time was so long, and Daoist Qianyuanzi didn't know when he had returned to the tent and waited for the result together.
Looking at the relevant data of the test, Teacher Meng handed over the results to Yue Lao with excitement on his face, Yue Lao took a deep breath and said: "The time of this Jianhua head is about 13,000 years, which means that he should belong to the same era as the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Great Flood and the Atlantean civilization and other international discoveries.
This will be a discovery that will shock the world, and as long as this news spreads, it is estimated that archaeological experts from all over the world will come in droves. ”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Lao's face flushed, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he spit out a few 'good' words one after another, and then walked out of the tent.
Zhu Tianpeng was a little strange, how could a biologist pay so much attention to the age of this stone statue. And Qian Yuanzi on the side touched his beard thoughtfully, and bowed his head slightly.
In the next few days, everything was normal, Shi Lao was not giving orders, and Zhu Tianpeng felt as if he was waiting for something.
Sure enough, three days later, another group of people came here, they first talked with Lin Lao for a long time, and then discussed with Shi Lao and others for a long time, Lin Lao took them out of the station and headed towards the Jianwei head.
Half a day later, Shi Lao informed everyone to go to the destination to continue the archaeological excavation.
Coming here again, the strange thing is that everyone did not see the traces of Lin Lao and others, and Shi Lao avoided talking about this matter, so that everyone could speed up the progress and do a good job in the preliminary excavation work.
Without the disturbance of the wolves, everything was unusually smooth, and it didn't take two days for the preliminary excavation work to be completed, followed by a large-scale in-depth excavation, Gu Meng Lao estimated that it would take four months at the earliest to make this eyelid reveal its full appearance.
Situ Hao has lost the excitement at the beginning for a few days, and has a hot fight with Shen Manru, who is idle, Wu Liang has time to soak in Captain Gu's place to ask for all kinds of practical combat skills, Zhu Tianpeng has nothing to do, and he also learns with him, the difference is that he is only interested in hand-to-hand combat.
In just a few days, his level of martial arts has improved rapidly, and he has read countless people, rarely praises others, and Captain Gu also nodded to him frequently.
Shi Lao has already told everyone that a large-scale excavation team is being formed, and they will come here to officially carry out the excavation work in a few days, which also means that the work of Zhu Tianpeng and others is about to come to an end.
However, accidents always come unexpectedly, and one afternoon, several military jeeps suddenly drove up from a distance, followed by dozens of black wolves.
The military jeep stopped, Lin Lao and the others were covered in tattered clothes, and entered the tent with anxious faces, and the soldiers outside were like facing a great enemy, but saw that those black wolves did not attack, but stayed next to the jeep, like a docile big dog.
"What are you talking about, there are unknown creatures attacking the wolves?" Shi Lao was full of surprise, and Zhu Tianpeng and the others were also full of astonishment, completely unable to imagine that such a powerful wolf pack would have other animals dare to attack.
"Yes, this creature is more terrifying than the wolf pack, there are not many of them, we have only seen five of them at the moment, they are extremely strong and defensive, and now the wolves, under the pacification of me and my fellow men, no longer pose any threat to us, and this sudden creature is probably the real obstacle for us.
They could kill here at any time, and we need to develop a response plan as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Zhu Tianpeng's mind was full of questions at this time, wasn't Lin Lao a biologist? How could he still have the same family? How did they pacify the wolves and still use them for their own use? Where did the unknown creatures come from, and what was their purpose in attacking the wolves? What secrets does this Jianhua stone statue contain?
At this time, there may be many people who have the same doubts as him, but there is no time for them to find out the truth.
Captain Gu led all the special forces to gallop away in a few military vehicles, and the covers of various weapons around the base were torn off, and the squad used machine guns, large-caliber machine guns, various missiles, and weapons that Zhu Tianpeng couldn't name, these weapons that were originally intended to be used to deal with the wolves were completely revealed.
In this kind of defensive operation, the gap between the special forces and the garrison troops has been narrowed, and they are not as useful here as they are in the field.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and many people in the capital are still dressed in summer clothes in September, but snowflakes are floating on the Gobi, and the air is getting colder and colder in the middle of the night, and the snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger.
The lights were always on in the tent where Shi Lao and the head of the garrison were located, and the soldiers monitored the monitors and kept in touch with the troops patrolling outside.
In this tense environment, except for Qian Yuanzi and a few of his Taoist disciples, who were quite indifferent and rested in their tents, the others did not feel sleepy, and simply gathered in a tent, eating dried fruits and drinking tea, while chatting and snorting.
Shen Manru and Situ Hao seemed to have endless words, which were very different from their appearance at school, but Situ Hao was a little absent-minded.
For him, this scientific expedition is more like a vacation, but he is usually quite modest, not only did he not make trouble for anyone, but he rarely saw the superiority of the gentleman, which is also commendable.
Zhu Tianpeng, Wu Liang and Yang Yang were speculating about the events of the day, like a blind man touching an elephant, and he couldn't find a clue at all, Situ Hao was chatting with Shen Manru on the surface, obviously more concerned about the issues discussed by several people.
The cold wind outside the tent was hunting, and suddenly Yue Lao and Teacher Meng pushed open the heavy curtain outside the tent and walked in.
Seeing them walk in, everyone's eyes were full of hope.
