Listening to my words, everyone fell into deep thought, Cao Team sighed, lit a cigarette, and said slowly: "For thousands of years, what people have not seen before, maybe it is just a special natural phenomenon, I have also seen some experts put forward a hypothesis, saying that there may be an extremely deep cave at the bottom of Poyang Lake, when the earth's crustal activity changes, the water flow is squeezed by huge pressure, resulting in fierce convection, and there may be short-term large waves and whirlpools, which may be the cause of the shipwreck."

"I think the argument that there is gas gushing out of the water is more plausible. Li Guoliang poured some hot water into the teacups of a few of us and said slowly. "The silt layer under Poyang Lake is very thick, and under geological action, a lot of toxic gases like biogas are separated. Under certain conditions, these gases can float from under the water to the surface, which can poison and suffocate the crew of surface ships on the one hand, and cause fires during thunderstorms on the other. And when enough gas floats underwater, it can also cause large waves and whirlpools. ”

But this does not explain the disappearance of the sunken ship, except for the flood season, the water in the lake is not fast, and the wreck will not be washed away by the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake, let alone be buried by sediment in a short time. As for the claim that there are caves at the bottom of the lake, there is also a problem, that is, the shipwreck of Poyang Lake did not occur in just one body of water, almost the entire surface of several thousand square kilometers of water, if it was caused by underwater caves, unless the hole is constantly moving. In addition, neither the cave nor the poisonous gas seems to be able to interfere with the electronic signal, right?" I was saying that, Director Guo suddenly slapped the table, raised his head, and interrupted me.

"Chang, when it comes to electronic interference, I think of one thing. In the Poyang Lake in the southeast of Xingzi County, there is a small island called Luoxingdun, which is said to have a meteor falling into the lake in ancient times, and formed this isolated island. Jiang Zhiqi of the Song Dynasty has the verse of 'Stone in the lake today, the stars in the sky back then', which is the falling star pier. Whether it was actually formed by a meteorite has not been studied, but it is true that there is electromagnetic interference on this island. Director Guo's words aroused everyone's strong interest, and everyone looked at him curiously.

"About two years ago, when Xingzi County set up a mobile communication base station, a friend of mine from the telecommunications bureau told me that their base station signal could cover the falling star pier, but the signal was often interfered with. Luoxingdun is a famous tourist attraction in Poyang Lake, there is an ancient temple and ancient pagoda of the Song Dynasty on the island, there are many tourists at ordinary times, in order to solve the problem of unstable signal, they arranged technicians to go to the island to debug. A survey revealed that the problem was far more complex than they thought. ”

"One is that there is no source of interference, not only is there no wireless signal transmitting equipment on the island, but even electrical supplies are few, so the engineers on the island speculated that maybe the legend of the falling star pier is true, and there may really be a very massive meteorite under the island, which is interfering with the wireless signal. Another inexplicable thing is that this interference is accidental, irregular, sometimes early in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, but the interference is not long, at most three minutes, and the interference signal disappears, and the engineer has never encountered this situation, and he can't say why. ”

"If it is interference caused by meteorites, it will not be intermittent, sometimes there are times and sometimes there are not? Anyway, this matter does not affect the normal use of mobile phones, and even if there is interference, a few minutes have passed, and the telecommunications bureau has not investigated further. Director Guo's addition made everyone fall into deeper doubts.

"Lao Guo, unless this interference source is moving, it wanders near the Falling Star Pier, and there is interference when it is close, and the interference disappears when it is far away. A strange idea popped up in my head, but it was too bizarre, the second half of the sentence came to my mouth, swallowed it back, turned my face, and said to Team Cao: "Old Cao, how far is this falling star pier from the place where the scientific research ship disappeared?"

Team Cao took out the map from the cabin, looked at it carefully, and told me that it was about ten kilometers away in a straight line, and five kilometers to the southeast, which was the Lao Ye Temple we just mentioned.

"I still have a puzzle in my heart that I can't solve, recently I have read a lot of reports of sudden weather causing shipwrecks, and the strange thing is that every time there is a strong wind and a big wave, there must be a ship sinking. And the surface of the water without boats, and the near-shore places, never seem to have happened. I didn't believe it at first, but after looking through all the information, it was true, as if the boat was driving on the lake that caused the strange weather. Team Cao said while smoking a cigarette and looking at the map.

"Or is this strange weather chasing the boats on the lake, doesn't the weather itself have life and the ability to think?"

"Perhaps, it wasn't bad weather at all that caused the shipwreck, even if the weather conditions were terrifying, there would be surviving ships, wouldn't they?" Li Guoliang said lightly, "Old Chang, I think we should go to the electromagnetic interference area first, the falling star pier to have a look." ”

As described by Director Guo, Luoxingdun is a small isolated island in Poyang Lake, with an area of only more than 100 steps, and there is only one tower, one pavilion, one pavilion, and one temple on it. We docked the boat to the shore, and Li Guoliang was busy setting up machinery and equipment to detect the source of interference, so I took Lao Guo and Cao's team to the island to have a look.

The temple on the island has been repaired recently, it can no longer be seen that it is the style of the Song Dynasty, the tower should also be rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, but in the small temple, the inscription is very rich, Director Guo told me that there is no lack of Wang Anshi, Huang Tingjian and other real works, it turned out to be more, he also saw the inscription of Fan Zhongyan when he was a child, but unfortunately the four old ones were lost at that time.

Team Cao was obviously not very interested in these architectural steles, and told me as he looked at them that before he came, he carefully asked Zeng Qian about the glowing objects floating in the lake, and Zeng Qian basically ruled out the possibility that they were living creatures. Luminescent organisms live mainly in the ocean, from plants to jellyfish, from seaweed to fish, and there are many types that can emit light. But in freshwater, there are much fewer species. There is only one algae that may be present in the waters of Poyang Lake, but this algae emits a dark red glow, and the light is very weak, obviously not the white silver light that the research ship encounters.

There is also a possibility of a freshwater jellyfish that will glow, but it seems that the water temperature in Poyang Lake is too low in winter, this jellyfish cannot survive, and this jellyfish is very rare, and it is now a national second-class protected animal, which is an endangered species, and it is even less likely to gather together in a large area. Therefore, Zeng Qian believes that it is more likely that the luminous object is some kind of gaseous luminous body.

Listening to Team Cao's story, I suddenly asked, "Team Cao, how is the matter between you and Zeng Qian? Team Cao was stunned for a moment, but I didn't expect me to suddenly change the topic, and said with a smile: "The main thing is that we are both busy with work, and it is difficult to meet once or twice a month, so let's wait, we will do big things when Hong Kong returns." ”

Seeing that he was confident, I was secretly happy for him.

When we landed on the island, there weren't many tourists. In addition to the buildings, the trees on the isolated island are very scarce, and the green leaves have just budded in early spring, which makes the island a little bleak and bleak.

We were about to go down to the island to return to the boat, but suddenly found that Director Guo was holding a flute in front of a large stone tablet next to the temple wall. This stele is more than one zhang high, and the stele surface looks like it has gone through wind and rain, and it is a thing with years. There are several huge cracks in the monument, which are too many inches deep. It makes people feel that there is a possibility of collapse at any time. The surface of the stele is mottled, the words have been blurred, and you can only vaguely see that there are two large characters on the top of the stele, and the words "Mandate of Heaven" are written.

When Director Guo saw us coming, he sighed and said: "Every time I come to this Falling Star Pier, I don't know why, I always stand in front of this Mandate of Heaven Monument for a while, and when I get older, I feel that the word Mandate of Heaven is becoming more and more reasonable, so I want to find something from the monument, but I don't get anything." ”

"What is the origin of this monument?" Cao and I both looked at this behemoth that recorded the vicissitudes of thousands of years.

"Legend is that during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a great drought in Poyang Lake, and the water under the falling star pier was exhausted, and someone found this tablet in the silt, and moved it to the temple above. At that time, there were already many well-educated people who came to rub the monument, hoping to unlock the secrets on the monument, but no one found any clues from the monument, so after another few hundred years, we could not identify it. ”

Director Guo's expression was very solemn when he looked at the stele, he paused, and then continued: "In the Ming Dynasty, many people believed that this stele was carved together when the Northern Song Dynasty built the temple, and then sank to the bottom of the lake for some reason. But judging from the traces of this stele being soaked in water, I always feel that the time of carving this stele is much earlier than the Song Dynasty. ”

"Jiangxi people are very resigned to their fate in their bones, which may be related to Taoism, Confucianism and the origin of Southern Zen Buddhism in Jiangxi. Believing in cause and effect, believing in the destiny of heaven, when something happens, first find problems in yourself, and often have a quiet and inactive attitude towards problems. Therefore, for the shipwreck of Poyang Lake, for thousands of years, everyone attributed it to the collision with the river god, and subconsciously felt that everything would be fine after sacrificing to the river god, and no one had ever really figured out the reason. Saying this, Director Guo smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and turned around to stop looking at the stone tablet.

(Nature, people; heart, machine.) The way of establishing heaven is to determine people. Heaven kills the machine, the stars are changed, the earth kills the machine, the dragon and the snake rise to land, the man kills the machine, the heaven and the earth repeat, the heaven and man are combined, and the foundation is determined.
