On April 11, an Atlantic cyclone made early landfall from New Jersey, forming a hurricane and sweeping through several U.S. states.

Starting at 5 a.m., it was raining heavily in Washington, D.C.

An unusual climate has reminded humanity that the magnetic pole flip is coming.

According to close monitoring at the North and South Poles, the Earth's magnetic field has decreased by 40% compared to the past.

The ozone hole is widening, and the 30 million workers working at the poles are being instructed to wear radiation protection equipment when working in the open air.

The 'aurora phenomenon' that is often seen in the north and south poles also undergoes unusual changes.

As we all know, the aurora phenomenon is a peculiar phenomenon produced by charged particles of the sun after entering the atmosphere along the earth's magnetic field lines.

The Earth's magnetic field is like a transparent shield at the poles.

The vast majority of charged solar particles and cosmic radiation are isolated from the atmosphere by the magnetic field, and only a few are able to enter the atmosphere.

These few charged particles that enter the atmosphere form 'auroras' along the magnetic field lines.

Here's the simplest example:

If the magnetic field is a transparent umbrella, the solar storm is rain.

When heavy rain falls from an umbrella, a 'rain curtain' or 'water ripple' is formed.

This is the aurora.

By observing the changes in the aurora, humans can observe the changes in the magnetic field with the naked eye.

Now that the aurora is changing abnormally, it naturally means that the magnetic field at the poles is decaying, because the protective umbrella of the earth has changed.

……

Washington.

In front of NASA, people are hurrying. Several TV station and newspaper reporters braved the rain to stay at the top of the staircase for random interviews.

Seeing Yang Ye appear from the car, everyone rushed up:

"Paul, in the morning, the Antarctic Magnetic Pole Research Laboratory released the latest report: the earth's magnetic field is in danger, please estimate how much time we have and how much time it will take for the super magnet to be built......"

"Mr. Paul, how is the Mars exploration going?"

"Mr. Paul, a civil society organization recently found rocks similar to buildings on the Mars photos released by the Space Agency, is this true?"

"The pole flip should be coming soon, but we're confident we can get ahead of it. Recently, China sent 100,000 highly skilled personnel to the North and South poles. It's to speed up the progress of the project......"

Yang Ye paused and said, "As for the Mars exploration, we have not found any buildings, and I will go to the explorer to search for the traces of buildings found by civil organizations." ”

"Thank you."

After speaking. Yang Ye walked into the building under the escort of bodyguards.

Space Agency Building.

Ao Guanhai government officials have arrived. Scientists can't wait to have a cultural exchange with Martian creatures.

Conference room.

According to the drilling depth on the holographic projection, Prospector 3 has entered 11,000 meters underground.

This is because this passage has been opened by Prospector 1 before. So the progress is very easy.

The obstacle was nothing more than a few gravel rubbles.

"Thank you"

Yang Ye smiled and took the coffee from the staff, and when he saw that everyone was looking down at the photo, he was curious.

"What are you looking at?"

"Paul, look at this."

A federation geologist handed him a photograph.

Photo content. It is an underground cavern, similar to an artificial excavation.

The cave covers an area of more than 200 square meters, with traces of life, and some giant eggshell fossils scattered around.

"And these two." Smith, a geologist, handed him some more photographs.

The photographs are of metal knives and oxidized fragments of copper utensils.

"This was found in other Martian caves?"

"It's not."

"This is what my friend found 11 kilometers below the surface of New Zealand, and they also found a number of highly poisonous plants and fossils similar to modern humans," Smith laughed. ”

"More than 40 million years ago!"

"Really?" Yang Ye looked at Smith and everyone in shock.

Everyone had already seen these photos in advance, but they were still happy to see Yang Ye's expression.

"His friend Vic is a very good geologist and shouldn't be fake," Marks said. According to their DNA tests, the metal knives and bronze tools are indeed more than 4,300 years old. ”

"Do you know what these eggshells are? It is the egg of a reptile of the family Cangosauridae, probably a survivor of the late Cretaceous period......"

"Look at this."

Max handed the photo in his hand to Yang Ye and said, "This is a beautiful photo of the bone fossil of the cave owner, unbelievable, isn't it?" ”

"Unbelievable ...... indeed"

Yang Ye's eyes lit up.

Because these bone fossils are put together, they are a skeleton similar to modern upright walking humans, and the skull is very similar to modern humans.

This shows that in the period of 40 million years, the earth was already pure people who could walk upright!

The femur of this fossilized skeleton resembles that of a modern human, and scientists have found that the earliest hominid that could walk upright was only 6 million years old.

That's too much of a difference!

Moreover, according to previous scientists' discoveries, the ancestors of human beings, 'higher primates', did not appear 40 million years ago, and apes existed about 30 million years ago.

However, judging from the DNA chromosomes extracted from the bones, he is not human, at least not a modern man.

There are now 46 chromosomes in the human body. Of these, 44 are for men and women, and the other pair is gender-determined.

And this person has only 42 chromosomes.

Now, the discoverer, Mr. Vic, is in New Zealand to restore the skeleton, and it will be released to the outside world after the recovery.

"There is also this highly poisonous plant, which they also found underground, and this family may have died after eating this plant." Osberg laughed.

"Amino acid sequence...... GUA、CGU、CGC！ ”

"What's wrong Paul?"

MIT President Adam asked curiously when he saw Yang Ye's face change greatly.

"I've seen the amino acid arrangement of this poison."

Yang Ye quickly turned his brain.

The scientists were amazed! Because the amino acid sequence of each venom is different, unless the venom comes from a plant.

But the highly poisonous plant in the photo. It is more than 40 million years old, and it is not found in New Zealand botanical subjects at all, and it was already in fossil form when it was found.

Yang Ye said he had seen ......

"Paul, you also found this 40 million-year-old plant in China? This is really a heavy scientific discovery. ”

"No, it's not!"

Yang Ye looked at the photo and everyone stared and said: "One month ago, someone sent a letter to Infinite Dream......

"The letter contains a poisonous powder of a natural plant. Ingestion of 3 grams can be fatal. ”

"The amino acid sequence of the poison powder is the same as in the photo."

"What?"

"My God! Is there such a plant on Earth? ”

Everyone present exclaimed......

Ao Guanhai was concerned: "Has the Chinese government found the person who poisoned it?" Or a clue? ”

"Not at the moment, if it weren't for this photo, we wouldn't know where this powder came from."

Yang Ye took the photo and looked at it, and said to Smith, "Can I get in touch with Vic?" ”

"Of course. Vic is a fan of yours, he's like you've known you for a long time......"

"Look. It's done! ”

"Someone. Someone is guarding the entrance to the cave! ”

As Yang Ye and Smith were talking, the holographic projection showed that Prospector 3 drove a drill truck through the tunnel and entered the death site of Prospector 1.

Through the camera and thermal imaging devices on the car, people can clearly see:

The moment the drill cart came in. Four or five primates ran by. They are like frightened gorillas.

There are also creatures that run upright in armor.

Those gorilla-like creatures are Martian apes. Wearing the armor is the servant of Orin the Martian.

After receiving the king's orders, they quickly returned to the place where the incident took place, where they were to keep watch.

But they didn't expect the iron bugs to come again so soon!

"Bang!"

After a Martian ape dodged. He picked up the stone on the ground and threw it over, his expression frightened and excited.

"Stop, you idiot!"

Orin's subordinate Buck stopped the ape-man's attack and said to the frightened brother beside him, "Baal, go and inform Lord Orin and the king!" ”

"Okay, good big brother."

Baal, the Martian, quickly picked up a small boat and went down the Casal River downstream.

……

Earth.

"Look, this Martian stopped the ape-man's attack, and it was as if he had ordered another one to go and inform."

"Mr. President, Mr. Paul, their attitudes are different this time!"

The engineer in charge of the operation excited.

"Calm down, don't control Prospector 3 to come out yet." Ao Guanhai said excitedly.

"Yes, they seem to want to negotiate with us...... You see, the one in the armor seems to be saying something to us. The psychic expert excitedly.

Not only them, but all the scientists in the room seemed excited.

This is the first open interstellar intelligent biological exchange in human history.

Although they couldn't understand what they were saying, the crowd could still understand some of the information from their body language.

In the midst of the communication, 1 day passed.

……

Royal Palace of Casal on Mars.

"Your Majesty...... Don't stop me, I want to see Your Majesty, the iron bugs are here again! ”

"Oh my God, the Iron Bugs are here again?"

"Hurry up and ask His Majesty the King."

In a panic, the king entered the palace surrounded by his family, and in a short time the high priest Miss Botou and her retinue arrived.

"Baal, how long has this been?" Orin asked

"I, I don't know the master, I came in a boat when we found out that the iron bugs were coming." Baal said nervously.

"Have you seen the Iron Herald, then?" The king asked.

"No, no."

"陛xià."

High Priest Portata looked at the nervous Baal and said, "He has come here again for a purpose. Let me be your envoy and talk with him. ”

"Good!"

The king looked at Orin and said, "You will lead the way for the high priest......"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Orin bowed down and took the command.

……

When the High Priest Portata led the people towards the upper reaches of the Kasar River, another day passed on the earth.

In the past two days, Yang Ye got in touch with New Zealand geologist Vic and asked him for a sample of a highly toxic plant from the third century.

Comparison after laboratory tests:

The 'natural plant powder' that was sent to Infinity Dream a month ago and this sample of a highly poisonous plant from the third century are indeed of the same kind, belonging to the fern family.

Ferns can be traced back to the Devonian period, that is, 400 million years ago.

The poison powder sent to Infinite Dream, according to Xiaoyu's research: it should be ground within half a year, and the powder contains stone powder, earth, and minerals.

They speculated that it was probably picked and dried and then ground with a stone mortar.

Other information is still to be investigated, and there is no information on the sender's side from the post office.

40 million years old plant powder, artificial cave 11 kilometers below New Zealand, fossilized bones of unknown humanoid creatures......

This qiē is like a mystery haunting Yang Ye.

But he also saw some clues: someone wanted to kill him or get his attention with it. The former is more likely than the latter.
