The strange dragon was not very happy, the two big nostrils spewed out fishy gas, presumably because he didn't want to be surnamed Zhou, but how could he stand it at this moment, Liu Yan raised his eyebrows, kicked the strange dragon and said: "I don't want to be surnamed Zhou, do you still want to be surnamed Zhao?" I'll call you Xiao Zhou. ”

The strange dragon was scared by Liu Yanzhi, and coupled with the delicacy of tuna, he had to swallow his anger and accept the name Xiao Zhou in humiliation.

Xiao Zhou's appetite is not small, the tuna was originally airlifted to improve the food for the staff, and the portions of dozens of people were chewed by it, and the dragon's tongue stretched out to lick his mouth, which was still unfinished.

"What, you still want to eat?" Liu Yan was completely troubled, where to get fresh fish in this winter, he went out to find Lei Meng to find a way.

"Just wait, I'll take care of this." Lei Meng patted his chest and took the big bag.

Successfully captured a dragon, the party patriotism was overjoyed, the diving bell was not lost, but was hidden by Xiao Zhou in the diving near the pier, and fished out again, if there is only a dragon in Xiao Zhou in the salt lake, then the next work will be much simpler.

Liu Yan's deeds of bravely fighting evil dragons have been widely praised at the base, but the party's patriotic orders are not allowed to leak half a word, and it will be troublesome to recruit journalists, and the salvage matter must be kept secret at present.

He flew back to Omi by helicopter and visited the former president of Jiangdong University, a master of modern history, Professor Shao Wenyuan, Professor Shao is actually also the mentor of the party's patriotism, the two are as close as grandchildren, the relationship is very close, and there is nothing to hide.

In the family area of Jiang University, Professor Shao's study was as warm as spring, and the white-haired old man looked at the photos brought by the party and muttered: "Diving bell, dragon, interesting." Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, took off his reading glasses and said, "I remember this incident, in the 1920s, dragons were also found in Jiangdong." ”

Professor Shao is knowledgeable, known as the two-legged bookcase, his grandfather and grandchildren are all scholars, grandfather Shao Qiuming is the founder of Jiangdong University, the first president, in the early years or the Guangxu Dynasty Jinshili, can be described as a scholarly family, the family collection of no less than 100,000 books, the Cultural Revolution was burned by the generals a lot, there are still less than 10,000 volumes, only the Song version, the Ming version of the book there are a lot, the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are a lot of thread-bound books.

"First, let's talk about dragons." Shao Wenyuan hasn't taught people a lesson for a long time, and he talked eloquently, "Dragon, horns like a deer, head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, neck like a snake, belly like a mirage, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, palms like tigers, ears like cows, it is undeniable that this is the result of the interpretation of the working people of all dynasties, but whether it is virtual or not, and there is no conclusive conclusion, the so-called spiritual symbol of the combination of various animal totems is put forward by Wen Yiduo during the Republic of China, but before that, many ancient books have recorded dragons, and archaeological discoveries have also proved that the existence of dragons is very long. ”

Dang Aiguo is also a professor of history, but in front of Professor Shao, he can only be a primary school student, he listens attentively and helps the teacher serve tea and water.

"Historical Records 61 Zen Book" contains: The former Qin Wengong went out hunting and won the black dragon. "New Tang Dynasty Book 61 Five Elements Zhi III" contains: At the end of the Zhen Yuan Dynasty (805 years), Zijiang Delong Zhangyu, Xichuan Jiedu made Wei Gao box and dedicated it, and the old surname looked through. Three days, he died of smoke. "Tang Year Supplement" contains: At the end of Tang Xiantong, Shuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Wei entered a keel, the record here is more detailed, saying that there was a thunderstorm in the clouds, a green dragon died in the court, cut it, and there was a big sore in the throat. Where is more than ten zhang long. Scales and hyenas are fish. Only the length of the beard is two feet. Its feet have red membranes. The two horns are two feet long each. "Liao History 61 Taizu Benji", "Mengxi Pen Talk 61 Magazine I", "Continuation Yi Jianzhi" all have records of dragons, this is the literature, the physical aspect, in the seventies, Inner Mongolia near Chifeng unearthed a C-shaped green jade dragon, archaeologists identified this dragon belongs to the Hongshan cultural relics 7,000 years ago, and later the science fiction movies made by the Americans have used this shape more than once......"

Dang Aiguo took advantage of the teacher's tea stall, and also added: "The white jade dragon unearthed in Lingjiatan, Anhui Province, about 5,000 years ago, this dragon in addition to the back ring of a clear spine and mane, especially the image is that the dragon's head is in the shape of a bull's head, and the two slightly warped horns on the head are intuitively the double horns on the head of the local buffalo. ”

Shao Wenyuan nodded and said: "Chinese civilization is only up and down for 5,000 years, the Yangtze River basin and the Yellow River basin are the home of the descendants of Yan and Huang, the Central Plains is hungry totem, it is impossible to be worshiped by foreign civilizations with a difference of thousands of years, the only possibility is that this animal did exist." ”

Dang Aiguo cooperated: "The new Chinese dragon fossil unearthed in Guizhou in 1996 confirmed this idea, this dinosaur has a pair of horns, which is very similar to the mythical dragon, which is ironclad evidence." ”

Shao Wenyuan took out a tin box of biscuits from the bookshelf and took out a yellowed newspaper clippings from it.

The newspaper clippings were opened, and inside was a copy of the August 1934 "Shengjing Daily", which contained the news of the discovery of dragon corpses in the Yingkou area, and also accompanied by photos, but it was extremely blurry, and the details could not be seen, and the outline of the skeleton could only be barely seen, which indeed looked like a dragon.

The text says that the heavy rain for several days, the Liao River rises, the villagers find the monster corpses in the reeds, they have been dead for a long time, people carry the corpses to the river for exhibition, and the good deeds of the three eastern provinces all take the train to Yingkou to see the excitement.

This is old news, and the party has also heard of it, and later CCTV 10's "Approaching Science" column explained this, saying that it was not a dragon, but a stranded baleen whale.

Shao Wenyuan said: "In addition to fossils, this is a recent example, in the thirties, the country was ruined, the specific facts are no longer verifiable, in my opinion, the isolated evidence is often not established, but coincidentally, in 1923 Jiangdong Province also found a dragon, and it was in the salt lake." ”

"It's finally time to get to business." Dang Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to drop the book bag in front of the teacher, but he had read all those records, and now there is no need to argue whether the dragon exists or not, there is a tether by the salt lake, and now what he wants to look for is the origin of the dragon, the relationship between the dragon and the diving bell, and the meteorite.

Shao Wenyuan opened the lattice under the bookcase, took out a small old leather case, and took out a diary with a patent leather cover, which was a diary left by his father, which was a hundred years old.

"You see, on Chinese New Year's Eve in 1920, a fire meteor fell from the sky, and tens of thousands of people witnessed it in Omi, but where the meteorite fell is unknown. In July 1922, the peasant newspaper on the salt lake said that there was a demon dragon cannibalism in the lake, and the ruling army was Sun Kaiqin, the warlord only knew the fish and meat people, and he was tyrannical, and usually did not pay attention to this kind of thing, but Sun Kaiqin was a devout believer, he believed in any religion, to be precise, he was a god stick, and he found the dragon in his own jurisdiction, which would make him have associations in his career, China in the 20s, the warlords and the people were not happy, and they coaxed you to sing and I appeared, and Sun Kaiqin's strength was not enough to win the Central Plains, But with Xiangrui, it was different, so he hired a few foreigners and spent 100,000 oceans to find the dragon. ”

"These things are not recorded in history." The party loves the country.

"Of course, there is no record, the fishermen living by the salt lake are illiterate, and Sun Dujun was defeated in the second year, and there was no shortage of news at that time, and the death of two Western adventurers in the salt lake caused the interference of the diplomatic agencies of the host country at most, and some compensation was extorted." Professor Shao stroked the diary, "Even my father told some things by hearsay, and wrote them down as jokes, you can take a look, you can see it, but you can't take it away." ”

Dang Aiguo put on white gloves and carefully held the diary to browse.

Mr. Shao's diary is very rough, but he said that he heard from a friend from the Office of the Governor that Supervisor Sun invited three American adventurers from Shanghai Tang and offered 100,000 oceans to help him catch dragons from the salt lake, and joked that Supervisor Sun's soldiers could not even wear cloth shoes, and the school in Omi was still an adobe house, so the Inspector was willing to spend a lot of money to conduct scientific investigations, which was a blessing or a joke.

A month later, it was recorded that the adventurer had absconded with the money, and the 100,000 oceans were lost, and not even a single dragon scale was found.

This date is August 15, 1923.

……

This is the only record that the party can find, he rushed back to the salt lake to hold a meeting, it was still cold, but the hearts of everyone in the base were hot, and the discovery of the dragon alone was enough for them to be excited.

In the conference room, the party patriot began to speak: "One night in July 1920, a meteor fell into the territory of Jiangdong Province, and tens of thousands of people in Omi City witnessed it, but there was no record of the meteorite landing later, so there is one possibility that it fell into the water, I believe, it fell into the salt lake, this meteorite has been salvaged, and the shape of the piece that fell into the lake in 1969 is almost identical, which shows that their origin is the same, and the things they carry are also roughly similar. Both are DNNase fragments that can produce effects quickly by ingesting, and the carrier has some kind of magical power that can tempt living beings to eat, this one was taken by the prototype of the pillar in 1969, and the other one we fished out in the salt lake may be related to the dragon-like water monster found by Hikonao, so I suggest calling this thing Dragon Ball......"

Liu Yanzhi raised his hand: "The people in the diving bell are here to find Dragon Ball?" ”

"It's Dragon Ball, it's not Dragon Ball, that's a manga." Dang Aiguo said, "They are foreigners hired by the warlord Sun Kaiqin back then, and they put their lives on the line for a reward of 100,000 oceans, and in any case, they are also seniors who have dedicated their lives to science, and I will inform their relatives in a way if they have descendants." ”

Guan Lu said: "There seems to be something wrong with the logic here, the pillar has the ability to speed up metabolism after genetic modification, so what kind of creature was Xiao Zhou before he became a dragon?" It's been around for a hundred years now, and it still looks alive...... I have a bold assumption that Xiao Zhou was originally a dragon, a living fossil that lived from the Cretaceous period to the present, and that the family thrived in the salt lake, and the DNA fragments in the so-called Dragon Ball are still there. ”

The party's patriotic eyes lit up.
