The river wades slowly in front of you, and you can also see Asian carp swimming in the clear water, all of which are very fat. Xia Lei threw a stone down, and dozens of big carp suddenly jumped on the river, and the water splashed and the scene was exaggerated. People here hardly eat fish, but these Asian carp have found a paradise to thrive here.

"I really admire you, you still have the heart to play around at this time. Tranquility's voice was small, and she looked at Xia Lei's face, her eyes a little dull.

Xia Lei smiled and said: "Happiness is a minute, sorrow is also a minute, so why worry? I said, I will take you out of here, don't worry, you will be fine." ”

"You ......" Tranquility hesitated for a moment before saying, "Did you come to save me on purpose?"

"Well, knowing you're stuck here, I'm here. Xia Lei added, "Of course, there are other experts, they are all the elite of our country. ”

"I thought I was going to die here, but I didn't expect it...... There you are. Tranquility hugged Xia Lei from behind, very excited.

Squeezed by her softness and gentleness, Xia Lei's heart couldn't help but ripple slightly, and at the same time, he felt a little embarrassed. He and her are just friends after all, and being held so intimately by her is not the same thing after all. However, he did not resist, but stood quietly by the river, letting her hold him like this.

Serenity is a poor woman. She had just mustered up the courage to get rid of her snobbish parents and pursue her own life, but she didn't expect to be trapped here again, forced to shovel sheep. Is she, a Ph.D. in archaeology, a scavenger of sheep?

Tranquility just hugged Xia Lei, closed his eyes, and felt this warm feeling.

Behind the two, the two women guarding Xia Lei and Tranquility did not stop them, but just watched from a distance.

"Sister Ning, can you tell me what you're doing here?" Xia Lei asked in a warm voice. That's why he called Tranquility out for a walk. He thought that if he asked a few other experts, he might not be able to hear the truth, and Serenity would not lie to him.

"Let's sit down and talk. Tranquility let go of Xia Lei and sat down on the grass by the river.

Xia Lei sat next to her on the grass and watched her quietly.

Tranquility leaned her head on Xia Lei's shoulder, looked at the slowly flowing river, and said slowly, "Do you remember the compass you repaired?"

Xia Lei was stunned for a moment, "You are trapped here...... How does it have to do with that compass? What the hell is going on?"

The compass of the Ming Dynasty was mysterious, and Xia Lei almost forgot about it after repairing it, but he didn't expect that this operation was actually related to that compass!

"Here's the thing. Tranquility continued, "I was recruited into a special team of experts a month ago, and at first I didn't know what to study, but then I learned that it was the compass. It was only after a few days in the group that I learned that they had used the compass to find a place and dug something up there. ”

"What's that?"

"I've seen it once, and it's a peculiar piece of metal, unpainted, but it's green, it's soft, like it's alive. "It looks like a piece of parts, oh yes, it has two letters on it," Serenity said. ”

Xia Lei couldn't help but interrupt Serenity's words, "What letters?"

“ae。 Tranquility said.

At this moment, Xia Lei's mind seemed to have smashed a huge stone, and a monstrous wave sounded.

Tranquility didn't notice the change in Xia Lei's expression, she continued, "It's something that can't be explained, there is a material science expert in the expert group, but he doesn't know what kind of metal it is. In the end, several experts agreed that it was a completely new metal, which no one had yet discovered. Its strength and toughness are also the best of all materials at present, and it also has the characteristics of being lightweight, so it is very suitable for the manufacture of aerospace materials. ”

Xia Lei's mind finally calmed down a little, "That, the compass of the Ming Dynasty guided the experts to find a metal part, and the AE letter...... I'm already confused. He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Are there still aliens? The parts found by the expert group are parts of alien flying machines? Aliens appeared in the Ming Dynasty? The brains of the expert group are also too big, right?"

Tranquility glanced at Xia Lei coquettishly, "I think your imagination is too exaggerated, there are no aliens at all, and that piece of metal is smelted." The time of smelting is about 1,400 years ago, but we have referred to all the races and civilizations of that period, and none of them had such advanced smelting technology. ”

"Who smelted that?"

"I don't know. Tranquility's expression was also a little confused, and she said: "Let's study from the perspective of those two letters, English was introduced to Britain by the Germanic people, but the smelting technology of the Germanic tribes who invaded Britain during that period was also very primitive, and it was impossible to smelt such advanced alloy materials." ”

"Then how was it smelted?" Xia Lei's head was also stuffed with question marks, a lot of question marks.

"That's why we set up a team of experts to come here, and our mission is to crack this mystery and get that kind of smelting technology. If we succeed, our country's smelting technology will surpass the whole world, and the related aerospace industry, manufacturing industry, and so on will get a blowout development. "Serenity was thrilled.

"Wait......" Xia Lei suddenly understood something, "You mean, that compass didn't point to a location, and after the expert group excavated the part, it pointed in a new direction?"

"Yes, it was it that brought us here. ”

Xia Lei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This is impossible, that compass was repaired by me, I know its structure, it does not have the slightest intelligence factor, it is impossible to indicate one place and then change direction to indicate the next place." ”

"You don't know. Ning Ning said: "What the expert group excavated in that place is not only that piece of green alloy, but also many antiquities of the Ming Dynasty, which are very precious. There is also a pointer in it, the pointer of the compass. When the pointer is replaced, it will point in a different direction. ”

It's confusing, and it's confusing.

Xia Lei thought for a moment, "Have you seen any antiquities?"

"I've seen some of them, after all, I'm an archaeologist and they need me to identify something. Tranquility paused for a moment, then added, "However, there is a bronze book that I haven't seen, just showed me a picture." ”

"What kind of bronze book is that?"

"A very strange and beautiful bronze book, very thin, not much thicker than modern paper, it looks like dozens of pages. It's a pity that I just looked at the photos, I didn't see the contents inside, and I don't know what is recorded in them. "Tranquility looked a little disappointed.

"Perhaps, there are some important clues recorded in that bronze book, and you haven't asked other experts?"

"I asked, but they didn't see what was inside. The bronze book was taken away as soon as it was dug up. "Then, after the hands were replaced, the compass pointed to a new place, so we came here. We came from the Wakhan corridor, and we had dozens of special forces to escort us, but they were all dead. Then I heard that someone had come to our rescue, but it failed. I thought I'd die here, but you showed up just when I was desperate. You always show up when I need you the most, bringing me light and hope, I ...... I ......"

Xia Lei gently hugged her shoulders and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, it's all over." Tell me, that compass brought you here, did you find anything?"

"Before we could get to work, we were caught, and several experts were either planting turnips or feeding pigs, and I was also sent to herd sheep and clean the sheepfold. ”

"What about the compass?"

"In the hands of that babyface. "She snatched the compass and hung it on the wall of her house as a wall clock. I tried to steal it back, but it didn't work. If you have the chance, you must get that compass back, it is too important. ”

An ancient and mysterious smelting technology, surpassing the modern smelting process, is a miracle in itself, not to mention that it can also improve the level of China's aerospace industry and the entire manufacturing industry, its importance has long been self-evident. However, the thought of the baby-faced Syramiare's head made me feel a faint ache. He didn't even have time to avoid her, but now he was going to her house to steal something, wasn't this delivering food to the door?

"I'll try. A wry smile appeared on the corner of Xia Lei's mouth, and he was also thinking about a more profound question in his heart, "The compass of the Ming Dynasty, the ancient smelting technology, and the AE alphabet...... Is there a connection between the AE letters on that ancient alloy and the AE Research Center in the United States? Or is it just a coincidence? If so, where is it related? AE capsules, AE ancient alloys...... Oh my God, what the hell is going on?"

"You're leaving here with that chief early tomorrow morning, will you come back?" said too much business, and Tranquility wanted to steer the conversation in another direction.

"Of course, if you hadn't failed, I probably wouldn't have come back here, but if you failed, I'll do what you haven't done myself. But don't tell anyone about it, and if anyone finds out, I'll fail. Xia Lei admonished.

Tranquility replied softly, and then said, "I won't tell anyone, the people of this tribe don't actually suspect anything, there are always people who venture into this place to hunt for treasure, and they also treat us as ordinary treasure hunters." ”

"That's the best, let's go back, I have to talk to Tang Yuyan. Xia Lei said.

"Can't you stay a little longer?" said Tranquility with some reluctance.

"Hmm...... All right. Xia Lei smiled, he couldn't bear to refuse such a request, and he also knew that what she needed most now was comfort and someone to accompany her.

"I'll borrow your thighs and use it. ”

"Huh?" Xia Lei looked at her puzzled.

Tranquility didn't explain anything, she lay on Xia Lei's lap, used his thighs as pillows, and closed her eyes. The breeze blew through her hair, and the black strands fluttered gently, unable to hide her beautiful face. It was as if she wanted to take a nap, or just wanted to just be quiet for a while.

Xia Lei couldn't bear to disturb her, nor could he bear to spoil the peaceful atmosphere of this moment, he looked at the quietly flowing river, but his mind was struggling to figure out how to steal the compass tonight......
