Chapter 294: The Night Banquet in the Northern Lights (1)
When a person is hallucinating, he or she can describe it as fanciful, but others are confused.
This difference in perception is due to the composition of the human brain and is simply insurmountable. The advent of camera equipment has helped to solve this problem, but it is also very limited.
If it was just a simple illusion, there would be no trace left on the ancient stage, only the bluestone platform.
In fact, the information that the translator can provide is very limited, and the appearance of the ancient stage is only that, and no amount of video will help solve the puzzle.
"That's it for now, the waiters have done their best, shooting 24 hours a day, and only these repetitive things are filmed." The translator said, then added, "We have also carried out magnetic field monitoring, and there are no anomalies either." Of course, the monitoring instruments are world-class, in addition to domestic products, but also imported two sets of similar products from Europe and the United States, but the results are much the same. ”
My guess is that if it weren't for the Electric Falcon insistence, then this monitoring would have been abolished a long time ago.
"It's the Northern Lights, right?" I realized this from the latitude and longitude coordinates marked in the video.
"Well, that's right." The translator nodded, "That's the main reason why we monitor changes in the magnetic field. China is the earliest and most thorough researcher of the Northern Lights in the world, and has built 16 monitoring stations in the Arctic Circle for the shooting and analysis of the Northern Lights. Judging from the historical data, the Northern Lights do not cause that strange reappearance of the old days. Moreover, according to the description of His Excellency the General, the figures in that costume will not appear in the region north of the Caucasus, but in the ...... unique to China"
When I talked to the interpreter, Denki kept looking out the window, not interested and not interested in participating in the discussion.
Jian Rong had already closed his eyes, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
The translator was very knowledgeable, and he was able to explain the problem concisely and to the point, and he was able to quickly dispel my doubts without waiting for me to ask.
The only pity is that all her expositions are based on the premise that "the illusion of the ancient stage is meaningless", so it has long run counter to our way of thinking about this issue.
I went north with the Falcon precisely because I "believed" that this event had happened, really existed, was very strange, and worthy of further investigation. Only if we are convinced will we do everything possible to trace it back to its source.
If, as this translator did, the knowledge of physics and logic was used to explain the mysterious events of the ancient stage, then the final conclusion would point to no solution.
Since there is no solution, there is no need to waste efforts to verify it.
"Thank you, you can rest for a while, and I'll take a look at the information." I say.
The interpreter nodded, turned forward, and said no more.
The ancient stage is located in a recess on the back side of the Caucasus Mountain, which was originally connected to the bottom of the mountain by a narrow path. Later, in order to facilitate the transportation of equipment up the mountain, scientists mobilized manpower to dig the trail to a width of two meters, and many natural stone steps were also widened and deepened, becoming very regular.
If the ancient stage is on the edge of the city, it may be able to be turned into a tourist area for tourists to visit because of this beautiful vision. Unfortunately, it is located in the untouched Caucasus mountains, and even the most curious hikers are afraid to take the risk. After all, the Caucasus is not Mount Everest, and it is no longer on the list of the top 10 peaks in the world, so there is no sense of accomplishment in climbing it.
"It can only be attributed to the effect of the magnetic field, and the fact that the monitor does not have valid data does not mean that the magnetic field does not exist. Just like human diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease, abnormal data can only be detected when you are sick, and at other times, it is exactly the same as a normal person. "That's the conclusion I came to after watching a lot of material.
"How?" The electric falcon asked with a calm face.
"Good." I replied.
"A lot of people think I should see a psychiatrist." The electric falcon sneered.
"Psychiatrists can't solve metaphysical problems, they only learn in school to study human beings as higher animals. Whether there is a commonality between humans and animals is still inconclusive—"I stopped halfway through the talk, because the topic is too profound to be explained in three or two sentences."
Introducing too many obscure concepts and metaphors will only complicate things.
The vehicle struggled through seven tunnels and finally reached its destination.
"It's up there, and you need to hike for about an hour." The translator said.
Jian Rong opened his eyes and yawned sleepily.
"You rest in the car, don't act rashly." I told her.
The interpreter turned around and reported to the Falcon Denko: "Your Excellency, the other convoy is blocked behind the two tunnels on the opposite side, a distance of thirty kilometers in a straight line. Optimistically, it arrived in two hours. ”
The electric falcon perked up: "Okay, mobilize the nearby garrisons, give them the greatest help, and let them come over to meet as soon as possible." ”
At this moment, the only person who can make him so happy is Jian Pengfei and his party.
We got out of the car and braved the snow.
"Long Fei, this time is the closest moment to the truth. If there is no more result, I will—" he waved forward, "destroy this valley and bury this secret forever." What I can't get, no one in the world can think of. ”
I didn't express my surprise, the big man did things beyond the imagination of ordinary people, because under his ten fingers he held the centralized power of the entire superpower, even if he did the impossible thing of "coercing Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea", hundreds of millions of people would help him to complete it.
Modern blasting technology has been developed so much that it is by no means impossible to destroy the Caucasus and even the Himalayas.
As we climbed upward, at least 100 bodyguards scattered in all directions to carry out a guard mission to ensure the safety of the falcon.
Now, we are within his territory, absolutely safe, and absolutely under his control, and any major discovery must belong to him and this country.
I fell into a deep silence, and I was also worried about the fate of Jian Rong, Jian Pengfei, and Huanghuahui.
The electric falcon said that "burying the secret" should not be as simple as blowing up the valley, but to destroy all those who are related to the secret, and even break his own memory.
I, Jian Rong, and Jian Pengfei were all included, and they became the targets of the second "purge".
"A companion is like a tiger" - I am reminded of this famous saying again. If I can help the Falcon succeed, I will do the most to it, and the gifts I will receive must be piled up. On the other hand, if it doesn't work, the electric falcon may turn around in an instant and throw me from heaven to hell.
"Remember the tune that the lute bouncer?" I asked.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Falcon immediately hummed a soothing tune softly.
"This is the prelude, the most exciting? And what does it look like? I asked.
The electric falcon stopped humming and shook his head slowly: "The sonorous sound of the excitement is as deafening as a knife and axe, and there is no song to speak of, just like a giant holding a big knife and slashing at an iron door." All I think about now is noise. ”
When Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" describes the sonorous tune, he uses the two sentences "the silver bottle bursts through the water slurry, and the iron rider highlights the sound of swords and guns", which is portrayed in three points, and it is difficult to surpass.
The description of the electric falcon is unliterate, and can only be used as a metaphor of "a giant knife cutting through an iron gate". The huge cultural gap between China and foreign countries can be seen here.
"How so?" I asked with a frown.
"This is my intuitive feeling, maybe others listen to it and feel different from me." The Falcon replied.
We climbed more than 200 stone steps in a row, turned more than a dozen turns, and finally arrived at a clearing in the mountains, but it was not the location of the ancient stage.
In this clearing, there is a row of wooden houses built on the mountain, about a dozen of them. Half of the wooden houses are made of clear glass on the exterior walls and roofs, and are equipped with cameras, binoculars, wind vanes, night vision devices, etc., so that they can be seen clearly from the outside.
"This is the observation point, and the direction of the 45-degree angle to the northwest is our destination." Electric Falcon explained.
I walked to the hut and looked high to the northwest.
Between the gaps in the snowflakes, a platform protruding from a cliff looms. In this weather, the platform must have been covered in heavy snow, and no details could be observed.
"Let's go up." I gestured to the platform.
We made three more turns, climbed one hundred and fifty steps, and finally reached the platform.
The information is right, this is really a stage carved into the cliff, although it has been blown by thousands of years of wind and snow, it is still very solid.
I strode onto the stage and stamped my foot hard to make sure it was solid enough.
"Geologists have examined it, and the platform is connected to the mountain. Unless there is a mega-earthquake, the platform will never collapse, standing longer than the Great Pyramids of Egypt. The electric falcon also jumped on the stage and explained with a calm face.
I walked to the edge of the stage and cautiously leaned out to see what was going on down the cliff.
The only difference is that the snow on the stage is falling from the sky, while the snow under the stage is falling sharply in front of my eyes, coming and going without stopping.
It was very cold, and although I was wearing a thicker cold mask on my face, I still felt like the tip of my nose and the middle of my body were about to freeze and crack.
The platform is small, and it takes about two minutes at most to make a circumambulation.
I walked around the platform more than a dozen times, and still didn't find anything.
The bodyguards scattered on all sides began to whisper, all with mocking expressions on their faces. I understand their thinking, for a place that has been surveyed thousands of times, they absolutely do not believe that a foreigner who is here for the first time can find something new.
"Did you find anything?" The electric falcon walked over, his eyes full of hope.
I shook my head, and the glint in the falcon's eyes went out in an instant.
"Let's wait for Jane's surname to come over." He said.
We brushed away the snow and sat side by side on the icy stone steps.
"Say, why did you let me happen to this?" The electric falcon whispered.
It is estimated from the time that before he had an "ancient stage affair" two years ago, it was just when politics was rising, the national conditions were good, he was just single, and the beauties were clustered.
A Chinese man's "four beauties in life" are "a long drought and nectar, and a foreign country meets old acquaintances; The night of the candle in the cave room, the title of the gold list", and the electric falcon is also in the time of the "four beauties of life", the future is bright, and the future is full of flowers.
It is precisely because of this "erotic encounter" that his heart is all tied to the dancer who bounces the pipa, completely putting aside the fun of the world.
Just like the general trend of global warming, once the heart of the Emperor of the North, who was originally like permafrost, was blown away by the spring breeze, it could no longer stop the trend of melting.
In the past, the "tough guy" Northern Emperor appeared on the international political stage with a fierce and brave image, and if his heart disease could not be cured in time, it would inevitably affect his image, and the "tough guy" would become "soft", and the fortune of the great country would come to an end.
