Chapter 2 The Journey to Kunlun

The morning sun is good, but it can't wake up a person who has fallen asleep. In the dream, a huge meteor pierced the sky, colliding with an inverted hanging mountain that suddenly appeared in the night sky, and the intense incandescent white light illuminated the entire night sky, and when the light dissipated, a huge crater raised around it inexplicably appeared in the uninhabited wilderness in the north of the ancient wall, and the cry of wow sounded from the crater~

Witnessing all of this was a Sven man in his early twenties who was driving a large-aperture telescope to observe the starry sky. When he spotted a meteorite in the vicinity, he drove over as quickly as he could. A few minutes later, he finally saw a crater with a diameter of about 20 meters, and a sudden cry of a baby frightened him from the car and stumbled to the ground~

After regaining his courage, he slowly climbed to the edge of the crater, turned on the flashlight and looked inside the crater, with a look of disbelief written all over the cheeks of the Sven man~

For Sven Man, the fate that changed his life was already doomed, and the sky gave him the discovery that shocked the world, and gave him the opportunity to re-understand the world~

It turned out that the center of the crater was covered with black meteorite fragments, and a baby with black hair and yellow skin was lying quietly in the meteorite fragments, looking at the Sven man with wide watery eyes.

This affectionate gaze doomed Sven Man to become the guardian of the meteorite baby, and as an astronomer, Sven Man, he easily imagined the possibilities of the meteorite baby~

It is also destined that he will never tell others about the life of the meteorite baby in the rest of his life, and the world only knows that he adopted an abandoned child and reaped a good karma, as well as the deleted second half of the video he recorded that is still popular around the world. Although this video and the recorder eventually became the laughing stock of the world, he is also Fang Xingchen's most respected father.

"Daddy sacrificed too much to protect me~" After waking up from the memory dream, Fang Xingchen expressed his deep gratitude to Daddy for all his past aspects, because without Daddy's protection, he would not be where he is today.

Before the father didn't tell him the mystery of his background, his own abilities always contradicted his children. Out of his protection, his father taught him how to do it since he was a child, so that he could be like the children around him, and only by being like the people around him could Fang Xingchen better survive in this world. But there is one special ability that he cannot hide no matter what, and that is his unspeakable wisdom. When he was six years old, he had already completed all the knowledge from kindergarten to university, and in order to keep him up with other children, his father could only ask him to pretend that he didn't understand and grow up slowly. And the secrets of Fang Xingchen's growth, except for his mother who died in a car accident, are only known to his father.

After three years of self-reflection, Fang Xingchen became much more mature and stable, and after careful consideration, he gave up the Aerospace University and devoted himself to Oracle University, which is famous for its history and archaeology. In his three years at the school, he has become familiar with various ancient relics and cultures. And the reason why he changed his mind to study history and archaeology was that in the history of modern disasters on the earth, he found a trace of the existence and disappearance of ancient ancestors.

Regarding the history of the earth's modern disasters, Fang Xingchen took out the brief history and re-examined it~

In 2023, the black mysterious meteorite fell all over the world, and in a few years, the earth's life has undergone many evolutions under the influence of meteorite energy. The terrible thing is that these evolutions basically only occur in animals and plants, and even bacteria and viruses have undergone advanced evolution, and the catastrophe that human beings are about to face is about to happen.

In the first year of the appearance of black meteorites, some giant beasts and giant insects appeared around the world, although the number was small, but it had an indelible impact on the peace and stability of the human world.

In order to suppress the world-wide mutation, the World Federation Government was established, which combined the existing scientific and technological forces of mankind to carry out a devastating blow to the dangerous new biological species around the world, and sent the black meteorites that fell from all over the world to outer space through space technology.

Although most of the black meteorites are sent to outer space, they cannot remove all the residual materials left in the atmosphere when the meteorites fall, and this residual materials still have a subtle impact on the entire Earth's ecosystem.

In 2024, the emergence of superviruses and bacteria caused a large number of human deaths, and at this critical juncture of human survival, the mutated animals and plants affected by black meteorites have become the hope of human rebirth, and they are almost immune to the infestation of superviruses and bacteria.

In 2025, the world ushered in a new life, and the relationship between humans and animals and plants also underwent subtle changes, as scientists discovered that some mutated animals and plants possessed thinking and intelligence, and developed methods to enhance human intelligence through these new intelligent species.

In 2026, the world's first animal and plant city was established to commemorate the contributions of new animals and plants to mankind, marking the beginning of peaceful coexistence between humans and new intelligent species.

In 2027, in order to coexist peacefully with the new intelligent species, the coalition government formulated the Bastion Project, and mankind stopped the earth's resource acquisition and devoted itself to the exploration of outer space resources.

In 2028, the earth officially entered the era of homeland, and peace and win-win have become the ideal future for all creatures on the earth in the era of homeland.

......

"Xingchen, the Department of History and Archaeology of the United Government is recently convening a group of archaeological graduate students to investigate the discovery of major relics in Kunlun Mountain, are you interested in participating?" An old man with gray hair who looked old walked into Fang Xingchen's studio.

When Fang Xingchen saw that it was Professor Sun Tianxiang, he immediately closed the brief history book in his hand and greeted him respectfully. "Hello, Professor Sun~"

"You don't have to be so restrained, are you interested in the proposal I just said~" Sun Tianxiang looked at Fang Xingchen, who was full of energy in front of him, and his heart was full of expectations. This young man, who has shown a high talent for archaeology in less than three years of school, makes him very curious and liking.

"I'm interested, but I haven't graduated from college yet......" Before Fang Xingchen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Tianxiang.

"Alas~ You are only interested, I will recommend you to go, so it is decided~" In fact, this archaeological trip to the Kunlun ruins, Sun Tianxiang is one of the leaders of the team, he needs a scholar who knows the ancient culture extremely well to follow, and Fang Xingchen is a genius in this regard.

"Then thank you Professor Sun for recommending it~I'll go and prepare~" Hearing such good news, Fang Xingchen was naturally happy in his heart, no matter what Sun Tianxiang's purpose was, he was fearless. He only cares about whether there are traces of the existence of ancient people in the discovery of major relics in Kunlun Mountain.

Looking at Fang Xingchen, who turned to leave, Sun Tianxiang had an unconcealable smile on his face. "The child can be taught~"

After preparing everything for the trip, Fang Xingchen and Sun Tianxiang embarked on a trip to Kunlun Mountain~

After a day of hard work, the high-speed rail to the boundary of the Kunlun Mountains has arrived. The slightly desolate city in front of him and the Gobi Desert he saw on the road made Fang Xingchen uneasy, as if the Gobi Desert in front of him had existed in this land since ancient times, echoing the harsh environment on the Kunlun Mountains. Even if human technology is already advanced, it will not be able to change the harsh environment here.

There are a total of 28 members of the scientific expedition team plus Sun Tianxiang, all of whom are Chinese people, and this is also the result of careful consideration by the coalition government. After all, this is the territory of China, and only Chinese locals can better understand their own culture. However, there is also a group of technical researchers, including representatives from the five regions, who have arrived at the perimeter of the ruins three days ago to conduct a safety assessment of the environment around the ruins.

When Fang Xingchen and Sun Tianxiang got off the train, it was already evening, and they were told by Dantu, a herdsman who led the way, that there was bad weather on the way up the mountain, and they could not go immediately, so they could only stay in the Gobi City near the platform for one night, and wait for the weather to be better tomorrow before going to the ruins of Kunlun Mountain.

The Gobi City is a simple three-story building, but the road traffic is very wide, and some improved green vegetation has been planted around it. The people who live here are basically the herdsmen of the Gobi, who have guarded this land for generations and are full of affection for this Gobi, but a small number of young people are reluctant to graze and go to the prosperous Central Plains and southern Xinjiang to develop.

At Sun Tianxiang's special request, Fang Xingchen and Sun Tianxiang lived in the herdsman's house that led the way for them, and the hospitable herdsman Dantu naturally would not refuse. Dantu is a strong young man in his thirties, and because he has been grazing outside all the year round, his skin looks a little bronzed, and he forms a distinct counterpart with Fang Xingchen, who has flesh-yellow skin.

Dantu's home is not far from the platform, and it only took three minutes for the three of them to get to their destination in Dantu's electric car. After walking into Dantu's house, I learned that Dantu was already the father of two children, and there was a beautiful wife Zhang Jiaying from the Central Plains.

Under Dantu's introduction, Fang Xingchen learned that Zhang Jiaying was a teacher who came to teach many years ago, but unfortunately there was an outbreak of a super virus in the Central Plains, and her parents were killed in this disaster, and then she made up her mind to settle here and harvested a sweet love with Dantu.

After having dinner with Dantu's family, Fang Xingchen and Sun Tianxiang learned from Dantu's mouth that the major ruins of Kunlun Mountain were found in the depths of the terrifying 'Death Valley'. In Fang Xingchen's cognition, this is an unsolved place of death, called the 'Gate of Hell' by the local residents, where the extremely complex weather and harsh environment have no natural laws to follow. Although he guessed that the discovery of major ruins might be related to the 'Death Valley', he did not expect that it would be located directly in the depths of the 'Death Valley'.
