Chapter 126: Sensation (3)

At this moment, Zhuang Rui's heart was full of emotions, if it weren't for the deep seabed, he just wanted to look up to the sky and roar, only in this way could he express the heavy feeling of discovering history in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I don't know when, tears welled up in Zhuang Rui's eyes, looking at these two skull fossils that had been protected by many people with their lives, as if going back in time, Zhuang Rui's mind shuttled through the long river of time and witnessed historical changes.

The advent of the Peking Man skull fossil has played a very important role in the study of the history of human evolution and civilization, and now the fossil skull has resurfaced, which will surely re-sensation the entire human world.

Although the two divers were not archaeologists, they had also worked on underwater archaeology, and immediately stopped their movements when they saw the box break.

So only two skulls rolled out of the box, and the other objects were still intact in the box, both of them were well-trained professional divers, and they did not move at this time, waiting for Zhuang Rui's instructions.

Zhuang Rui untied his backpack, threw out all the sea mussels he had picked up on the way over just now, and then made a gesture to a diver, signaling him to help him hold the backpack.

Although it is not as much as Zhuang Rui's knowledge of the skull fossil, in the salvage operation a few days ago, these divers also knew what Zhuang Rui, Professor Meng and others were looking for.

The next diver helped Zhuang Rui hold the backpack, and Zhuang Rui carefully picked up the two skulls that fell on the seabed, gently rubbed them with his hands, put them into the backpack, and then put his hand into the box and took out another jaw.

This jaw has been completely petrified, showing a blue luster in the seawater, which Zhuang Rui knows is due to the color of the seabed and the refraction of light.

After carefully holding the chin in his hand and looking at it, Zhuang Rui carefully put it into his backpack.

This is a human being 600,000 years ago, and he can definitely be called the ancestor of mankind, Zhuang Rui's movements are so gentle, although he knows that these fossils will not be damaged in the water, but he still does not dare to be careless.

In fact, although Zhuang Rui had some guesses in his heart before, he was not sure that the contents were "Peking Man fossils", so he was not very well prepared.

And these Peking Man fossils are too valuable, to be honest, he is not very at ease with the other two divers, so he does not dare to leave now, so he can only pack them into his backpack one by one.

There are not only complete skull fossils in the box, but also many mandibles, teeth, broken femurs, bloody bones, etc., each of which is priceless, so Zhuang Rui is very slow to clean up.

"Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang, and forty minutes, you can float, you can float......"

When Zhuang Rui was carefully cleaning the fossils from the inside and outside of the box, Xiao Yao's voice came from the headset.

Because this is a reef area, cruise ships cannot enter, and the distance is a bit far, so Zhuang Rui and the others did not carry cameras on them, and the people on them could not find their behavior on the bottom of the sea.

"Xiao Liu, you go up and tell them that there is a major discovery, an extremely important discovery, and let Professor Meng rush over by speedboat immediately! By the way, leave your oxygen cylinder for me......

After Zhuang Rui heard Xiao Yao's words, he remembered that there were still a group of people above, and hurriedly wrote the above paragraph with his hand, others Zhuang Rui couldn't control it, but he must notify Professor Meng as soon as possible.

Zhuang Rui has already made up his mind that he will never leave until the cleaning of these Peking Man skull fossils is completed, knowing that even if a fragment is lost, it will be an irreparable loss.

……

"Playing the piano indiscriminately, tossing around blindly and not saying anything, and notifying us to go?"

After receiving the communication on the speedboat, Director Wu, who was on the cruise ship, said to Professor Meng very dissatisfied: "What is this Xiaozhuang doing? The salvage is over, what other major discoveries can be made?"

Because of Zhuang Rui's insistence, Director Wu was very embarrassed in front of the leader, and in the end, the excuse he made was according to what Zhuang Rui said, the ship broke down and could only return tomorrow.

Although Director Wu didn't dare to offend Zhuang Rui too much, his promotion had little to do with Zhuang Rui, so he didn't have a good face for Zhuang Rui.

"Report to Commander Wu, I saw what Mr. Zhuang found, it seems to be ...... It seems to be a stone, by the way, it's a bit like what Professor Meng said about the skull a few days ago......"

The diver's voice came out of the walkie-talkie, and Professor Meng, who was sitting on the side and didn't care much, his eyes widened violently, and before Director Wu could react, the walkie-talkie in his hand had been snatched by Professor Meng.

"You...... What do you say? Say it again, describe the shape of the object......"

Professor Meng's voice trembled a little, he was originally dead to the idea of finding the "Peking Man Skull Fossil", but now the news that suddenly appeared made Professor Meng a little stunned for a while.

After the diver told what he had seen again, Professor Meng couldn't sit still, and directly threw the walkie-talkie in his hand back into Director Wu's hand, and the whole person seemed to be dozens of years younger, and rushed out of the room like the wind.

"Hey, hey, I said, Professor Meng, this is ...... What's going on?"

Director Wu had never seen Professor Meng so out of shape, and subconsciously felt that something big should have happened, and he didn't care about slandering Zhuang Rui, so he hurriedly ran out after him.

"Hurry up, hurry up, why is it so slow?"

There are a total of six lifeboats on the cruise ship, as well as four speedboats, all of which are placed on top of the cruise ship and take a certain amount of time to be lowered into the sea.

Professor Meng stood at the bottom of the spiral staircase of the cruise ship, looking at the speedboat slowly lowering overhead, and couldn't wait to jump into the water and swim over at this time.

Along with the speedboat to the reef area, there were two paleoanthropologists, who were also excited when they heard the news of the "Peking Man skull fossil", and followed without saying a word.

The three old men sat on the speedboat and looked at each other, their hearts were all uneasy, and the nervousness on their faces was overflowing.

They were afraid that this discovery would end in disappointment, because they had already been disappointed many times when they cleaned up the bones of the Japanese victims a few days ago.

Can the pursuit of several generations of hard work be able to draw an end to them? Can it comfort the souls of those predecessors in the scientific research field in heaven, hope...... It's on Zhuang Rui at the bottom of the sea.

After coming to the reef area, Professor Meng snatched the walkie-talkie from Xiao Yao's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Zhuang, Zhuang Rui, listen...... Hear please answer me, what do you find...... Is it a fossilized skull?"

Xiao Yao on the side didn't know why Professor Meng was so excited, and reminded him: "Professor Meng, Mr. Zhuang doesn't use a closed diving helmet, and he can't speak at the bottom of the sea......."

"That'...... What should I do? Do you have any diving equipment? I ...... I'm going down ......."

When Professor Meng heard this, he didn't want to think about whether his body, which was nearly seventy years old, could withstand the water pressure at the bottom of the sea?

"Professor Meng, let's do it with me......"

Xiao Yao took the walkie-talkie in Professor Meng's hand and said, "Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Zhuang, please tap the microphone when you hear it......"

Zhuang Rui had already heard Professor Meng's voice, but he couldn't answer, and now when he heard Xiao Yao's words, he hurriedly tapped his finger on the microphone.

"Mr. Zhuang, Professor Meng asked if the following is a Peking Man fossil? If so, you can knock on the microphone three times in a row......

Xiao Yao's words made Professor Meng and the others brighten up, and then their eyes were fixed on the walkie-talkie, and their ears were pricked up, for fear that they would miss the voice coming from the microphone.

"Click!"

Three coherent voices came out of the walkie-talkie, and this voice sounded like a heavenly sound to the ears of Professor Meng and the two paleoanthropologists, making the faces of the three of them show ecstatic expressions.

"Old ...... Lao Meng, this ...... Is this true?"

An old man with white hair, tears of excitement flowed from his eyes, and before he could reach out to wipe it, he saw that the faces of Professor Meng and his old buddy were also smiling and tearful.

Nearly a hundred years of mystery and nearly a hundred years of pursuit will be revealed at this moment, making the three old men who are more than two hundred years old together also excited and can't help themselves.

……

When Professor Meng and others came over just now, another diver went up to the boat once, and went back to the bottom of the sea with a hand-held underwater camera and two bottles of oxygen.

The camera was specially told by Zhuang Rui that he brought it down, and Zhuang Rui wanted to record the moment when the fossil skull was rediscovered, which will become important information in the future.

At this time, at the bottom of the sea, a diver was filming with an underwater camera, and Zhuang Rui and another diver were working nervously, groping in the box with their fingers little by little.

The contents of the box have basically been cleaned up, and the backpacks carried by the three divers are full, which are small in size due to the fossilized teeth they contain.

In order to avoid any omissions, Zhuang Rui checked the box again and again, and used a strong flashlight to irradiate the reef cracks under the box, for fear of losing any "Peking Man fossils".

It lasted more than three hours, until the three bottles of oxygen were exhausted, and Zhuang Rui couldn't sense any objects in the box with his hands and aura, and this "accidental" salvage work was successfully concluded.

"Wow!"

The calm sea was rippling, and Zhuang Rui's head floated out of the sea, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the dinghy three or four meters away from where he floated.
