"That's right, that's right." At this time, several experts and professors who were studying the bronze hilt also seemed to have some conclusions, and Professor Fang walked up to everyone excitedly and explained: "We have done an appraisal, and the year of this thing should be in the Qin and Han dynasties, that is, the second peak of civilization in the Western Regions." ”

"What's the second?" The fat man was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "You mean that before the Silk Road, there was a highly developed civilization in the Western Regions?" ”

"That's right, it seems that this comrade still understands history very well." Hearing the fat man ask this, Professor Fang couldn't help but say: "Although the historiography community agrees that the Silk Road during the Han and Tang dynasties was two highly developed periods in the Western Regions. But in any sense, there will not be a 'super-era' civilization, we all know about the exquisite ancient city, the kind of destructive weapon that can destroy half of the city of Beijing, we really can't believe it. ”

"Therefore, those of us privately believe that before the Silk Road, there was a civilization in the Western Regions with a longer history, and it was this civilization that gave birth to many technologies that transcended the ages."

"Isn't this the same thing that Big said when she first fooled us?" The fat man pouted.

"How can this be the same......" Professor Fang was choked by the fat man's anger, and just wanted to explain further, but was interrupted by Professor Lou's cough.

"Professor Fang, let's talk about this bronze sword hilt!" Professor Lou said.

Seeing Professor Lou's actions, Zhang Meng couldn't help but glance at the fat man, knowing that there were still many materials in the hands of these expert groups that everyone didn't know, but there was nothing they could do for a while. After all, they are not lady, they haven't been together for a long time, and they are all big intellectuals, Zhang Meng doesn't dare not give them face.

"Oh, yes, yes." Professor Fang hurriedly pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and said hurriedly: "After the appraisal of our three old men, we feel that this thing should be something from Xiao Wanguo." ”

"Xiao Wanguo?" Zhang Meng saw the information about Xiao Wanguo in the folder given by Lady, but there was only a brief mention in the folder, so even Zhang Meng, an unforgettable genius, did not know the specific history of Xiao Wanguo.

Since Professor Fang is an expert specializing in the Western Regions, he must know much more than everyone else.

"Hehe, fat man, I just heard of the sweat and blood horses of Dawan Kingdom, didn't it mean that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty couldn't ask for it, so he sent the general Li Guangli to lead the army to the west, wanting to snatch this batch of sweat and blood horses? As a result, he was beaten with his armor thrown off...... "The fat man laughed.

"Okay, little fat man, you still have that little knowledge in your stomach, listen to Professor Fang first." Zhao San took the opportunity to knock the fat man on a cigarette pouch pot.

"Huh." Seeing the fat man rubbing his head, several people all smiled meaningfully, and the embarrassing atmosphere just now disappeared in a blink of an eye. Professor Fang continued: "This Xiaowan Kingdom was originally one of the 36 kingdoms in the Western Regions, which is recorded in the Historical Records and the Book of Han. ”

"Hmm. Professor Fang, you continue. Zhang Meng nodded.

"However, many historical materials have made it clear that this Xiaowan Kingdom was finally destroyed by the Loulan Ancient Kingdom!"

From some later historical materials, we can conclude that the Xiaowan Kingdom was indeed destroyed by Loulan in the Han Dynasty. It's just that we haven't found out about the details of this history yet. Professor Fang sighed regretfully.

Hearing this, Zhang Meng thought of a question, looked up at Lady Na, who had not spoken, and asked: "Since this Xiaowan Kingdom is just a small country, and it was annexed by Loulan during the Han Dynasty, it should not be the same as the ruins of the main city we are looking for, should we still use it to see?" ”

"It's a shame not to take a look." Although Professor Fang on the side was excited and eager to see Xiao Wanguo's true face, he also knew that time was pressing, and everything was mainly based on the above tasks, so he consulted Lady Na's opinion.

"Yes." Lady hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Won't this be too time-......" Professor Lou in the back was a little embarrassed.

"No, it won't." Lady explained: "A country is destroyed, but the city-state will not disappear, and the people will not disappear. Since they eventually became the people of Loulan, there must still be ruins of Loulan in their city-state, and we may find clues about the depths of Lop Nur here. ”

After listening to Lady's explanation, several people all nodded silently.

Lady Na is right, there are too many countries in the Western Regions, and the civilization is complex, and if you want to find the real historical relics from the civilization of one country, I am afraid it will not work at all. Although it is said that in this area of Lop Nur, Loulan occupies a large part, but like Xiaowan, Jingjue, Yanni, Pumo...... It was once glorious here.

What's more, you may have found the legendary target location in other civilizations.

Anyway, there was nothing to discover for a few days, and some of the team had already lost confidence, and the blood moon was about to appear tomorrow, so it was still not conducive to continuing to explore.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Lady Na gestured to the group of Bogut people at the back of the line.

Seeing that Stantin, the majority shareholder of Bogut Company, nodded with a smile, everyone followed the route found by the guide Hatti. Although Hatti said that it was very close, in this ever-moving desert, it would be difficult for everyone to find the ancient ruins that had been discovered a second ago, and finally the camel caravan stopped in front of a ruin that had been drilled out of the yellow sand.

All you see is ruins.

A few collapsed walls, some scattered bricks, and the ground covered with yellow sand and all broken pottery, there is no such magnificent scene of the ancient city as one imagined. The faces of several young people, including Yao Yuan, Li Guozhong, and Ai Qi, were all full of disappointment.

However, I have seen Zhang Meng and the fat man of the real exquisite ancient city with calm expressions.

Archaeology is like that, it sounds beautiful, but the kind of tombs that can be called the wonder of the world are still very rare, and it is impossible to see them everywhere. What's more, what everyone is looking for is just a small country in the Western Regions with a population of less than 10,000 people. On top of that, many of the magnificent walls are often buried deep underground, and they simply cannot withstand the wind and sand of the desert.

After a short pause, Professor Fang suggested that several people in the team take out a set of archaeological tools and excavate the ruins of the city in front of them first. Zhang Meng and the others saw that the other party didn't have to do it themselves, so they didn't bother with that heart, just like the mercenaries of Bogut Company, they all hid in the tent and drank mineral water to rest. r1148
