Chapter 989 989 What civilization does not rob Petra to play

After leaving France, Lin's cruise ship rounded the Iberian Peninsula into the Mediterranean, followed by a brief stop in Italy, and then arrived in Israel.

Lin Youde's family landed in Israel and then went straight to the ancient city of Petra, escorted by the Jewish armed forces.

"Why are you so attached to Petra?" In the jeep, Viola asked curiously, "I understand that you are a history maniac, but why do you seem to be much more interested in this ancient city of Petra than other monuments?" ”

"Because I'm a history buff and a game buff." Lin Youde shrugged his shoulders at his wife, "There is a computer game series that I particularly like in our time called "Civilization", which is a game that simulates the evolution of world civilization......"

"Simulating the evolution of civilization? What's so fun about that? ”

"It's a lot of fun, and you can't help but get stuck in it as soon as you start the game, but that's not the point. In this series of games, the ancient city of Petra is one of the monuments that players can build, because the effect is so powerful, so everyone will take the initiative to find the desert and hilly terrain to build a city, and then compete with the opponent for this miracle...... Over time, there is even a special group of people, as long as they can't catch Petra, they will scrap the game that has been played for a long time and start the game again......"

Viola had an expression like listening to a book from heaven, but Sophie next to her nodded again and again, as if she understood.

"That's nice," Sophie said suddenly, "and I want to go to the time when my father used to live, and experience all these interesting things." ”

"That's probably unlikely." Lin Youde shrugged, "But we can try to replicate all of this in this era." ”

"What have you been talking about since the beginning?" Xia Li finally couldn't help but ask.

Lin Youde and Viola remembered that there was a Xia Li in the car, because in the past, as long as Lin Youde was driving, everyone in the car generally knew Lin Youde's origin, so they could talk about these things unscrupulously. Lin Youde looked back at Xia Li, in fact, he had already revealed some information to Xia Li before, but he didn't tell Xia Li, and now he seriously thought about whether to tell Xia Li the truth.

Eventually he said, "When you really become my family, you understand." ”

"So I'm not really a family member now, am I?" Xia Li's tone sounded a little sentimental, which made Lin Youde almost soften.

At this time, Xiaolu turned back to Xia Li and said, "Xia Li's mother is the real family!" ”

"Thank you, Xiaolu." Xia Li smiled at Xiaolu, and reached out to pinch Xiaolu's face. Lin Youde looked at Xia Li's expression through the rearview mirror, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the walkie-talkie sounded: "Ahead is the area of activity of the Bedouin guerrillas, sir, are you sure you really want to go deeper?" ”

"Keep going deeper, I'm going to have to see Petra today."

"Petra!" Xiaolu also shouted, "Petra! ”

"Didn't you come here when you were commanding operations in North Africa?" Viola asked.

"I once walked to the entrance of the canyon of the ancient city and saw the building at the entrance." Lin Youde shrugged his shoulders, "At that time, Scholes's Task Force 141 and paratrooper units were cleaning up the Bedouin forces, and Petra was used as a stronghold by the Bedouin forces. Then I came over to see if it was necessary to use heavy weapons. It was impossible to get in. ”

"And how can you get in again now?"

"Because the Bedouin guerrillas have been beaten by the Jewish army, they can no longer pose a threat. It's good not to worry about international repercussions. ”

After the establishment of the state of Israel, it was not possible to eliminate the guerrillas in such a reckless manner, so during this time the Jews were very hard to clean up the enemies around them - of course, the effect was so good, and a big reason was that as peace came, the countries were busy restoring their economies, and the supply of weapons to these guerrillas stopped. Now the British caretaker Prime Minister Winston Churchill is busy with the general election, the British military industry is busy returning to peacetime production order, and the British army is going all out to prepare for the intensifying Indian independence movement.

As a result, the Bedouins were beaten up by the Jews and have now withdrawn from Petra, but they still move around Petra.

At this time, Lin Youde's convoy drove into a narrow canyon, and after driving in the canyon for a while, a large number of caves carved on the canyon wall suddenly appeared on the side wall of the canyon.

"Wow." Viola uses this single word to express her feelings.

Xia Li whispered, "It's amazing......"

"If I'm not mistaken, even more amazing is in the back, this canyon is just the entrance to the ancient city." Lin Youde said following his memories before crossing over.

The convoy travelled through narrow gorges, with an estimated 10 meters at the widest point and only one jeep at the narrowest point.

Lin Youde was introducing the history of Petra to his wife and daughter, and the magnificent Temple of Haznach came into everyone's sight.

"It's so high, it's so big!" Xiaolu intuitively expressed her opinion, "It's bigger than our family!" ”

Xia Li asked suspiciously: "The columns in front of this building are obviously in the Roman style, but the buildings in the back don't look like the Roman style......

"Because the city was once occupied by the Romans, and prospered under the Romans for nearly two hundred years." Lin Youde explained, "If you continue to drive down, you should still see the Romanesque amphitheatre. ”

"Haven't you ever been here, why do you seem to know everything about this place?" Xia Li asked suspiciously.

Viola, of course, did not have this doubt, she looked around the square in front of the temple of Haznach, and said with some surprise: "This square looks like it was dug by hand?" ”

"Supposedly so." Lin Youde nodded, and at this time, the convoy was slowly moving towards the front of the magnificent temple.

Sophie looked up at the temple and sighed softly, "I kind of understand why Dad must come and see it." ”

Lin Youde also looked up at the temple, and at this time, the sunlight crossed the top of the valley on the other side and shone on the temple, and the entire temple showed a rose-red color, which looked quite magnificent indeed.

After passing through the temple, the Roman theater mentioned by Lin Youde came into view, and the theater was also excavated on the mountain wall, and the layers of stepped stands were directly excavated by the slope of the canyon.

Farther on, the canyon opened up a bit, and the entire ruins of Petra were fully displayed in front of everyone.

Sophie stood up and climbed into her seat, keeping her eyes as high as she could.

"It's amazing," she sighed from the bottom of her heart, "it seems that you can feel the prosperity of the past, I ...... I don't know what to say, but in short, such a ruined ancient city seems to be more interesting than expected. ”

"Right, right?" Lin Youde is also very excited, he likes archaeology-themed movies and games very much, and the mystery of those ancient ruins always has a great attraction to Lin Youde.

"If you look closely, you might find some incredible ancient treasures in there. For example, what kind of magical technology left by prehistoric supercivilization, the last survivor of the mysterious people with a third eye...... Or the cosmic Rubik's Cube that stumbled upon the Earth......"

Facing Lin Youde's mouth, Viola sighed softly: "Here it is again......"

"It's not impossible, is it?" Lin Youde spread his hands, "You see that there are such things as gods in this world, and it's not impossible to really exist in the three-eyed clan, right?" Maybe we'll find the secret room by searching here, and in the secret room is a bald boy with a third eye on his forehead. ”

After Lin Youde said this, he suddenly felt a sense of loss, because in this time and space, no one would complain and say, "Then we have to find a female high school student who specializes in putting fork-shaped tape on the head of the teenager, right", if no one complains, the idea of opening up your brain like this will lose half of its meaning.

He glanced at Viola and Charlie, who were completely unknown.

At this time, Xiaolu was coaxing: "Is the Three-Eyed Clan delicious?" They have three eyes? ”

"Ah, Xiaolu actually asked one more question." Sophie was surprised and said, "It's amazing, Xiaolu has made progress!" ”

Lin Youde also stood up, looked at the spectacular ancient city in front of him, and after a few seconds, he pulled the car door and jumped out of the car.

At this time, the salon in charge of the guard hurriedly ran over: "Sir, we haven't searched these caves at all, maybe the Bedouins are hiding inside, you can't go in." ”

"Oh, don't worry, I've got a god with me." Lin Youde waved his hand disappreliantly.

"But maybe they will use the method of blowing up the entire cave to deal with you, without the magic guide armor, even if the god can resist the falling boulder, she will also severely lose her mental power, right?" Sharon continued to argue, "I still have to object to your casual entry into the cave. ”

Lin Youde paused, and finally gave in: "Okay, I'll just take a look at this magnificent ancient city casually outside, this is always okay, right?" ”

At this time, Sophie said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you go into the hole, it's good to take Xiaolu with you, you don't have to worry about being buried, she can eat a way." ”

"Eh," Lu said, "I hate eating stones." ”

Lin Youde glanced at his daughter and shrugged his shoulders.

"Just take a look outside," he said, "and of course, we're going to take a commemorative picture back." ”R1148
