Chapter 51: The Antarctic Continent
The sky is vast and snowy, this is the southernmost point of Midgard, here is the continent with the least human footprint, here is the ice and snow mecca of Midgard, here is Antarctica.
A team of scientists, members of a U.S. Antarctic expedition, are on their way to a valley they discovered not long ago.
In that valley, they found some ancient man-made objects, and this discovery greatly stimulated this group of scientific researchers, knowing that the Antarctic continent is difficult to carry out scientific research even now, let alone live, and according to the theory of continental drift, the Antarctic continent will be completely separated from the rest of the continents in 50 million years, and there can be no human existence at all.
But those man-made objects show that this sacred place of the earth was set foot on a long time ago, and this discovery is enough to change the biology and history that is now known, and they will be remembered for centuries.
So this group of people quietly concealed this discovery, and chose their own group of people to explore first, and finally after getting enough evidence, they told the world.
After all, they are just a group of ordinary scientific researchers, if they report the news now, then their base will definitely be taken over by the people above, and then other experts will come to take over this matter, and the good deeds that will leave a name for the ages will also belong to others.
Now, they have walked to the valley where the man-made object was found, which is surrounded by mountains and forms a small 'oasis'. The oases of Antarctica are not lush trees and flowers, but Antarctic explorers and scientists, who have worked in the ice and snow for many years, and when they find places without snow and ice, they can't help but feel very affectionate, so they call these places the oases of Antarctica.
Originally, this group of people was very excited to report because they had discovered a new oasis, although this new discovery was not particularly big, but it could also make them have a certain reputation in the scientific research circle.
But then they discovered a strange artifact in the oasis, and if it weren't for an attentive member of the team, they might have missed the discovery that shocked the world.
The artifact looked like a strange stone on the outside, but the stone was so twisted that it looked like a ball of distorted flesh, and the team thought it was a miracle of nature at first, but the attentive team members were very keen to spot the anomaly.
This careful team member is particularly fond of ancient sculptures in life, so the first time he saw this strange stone, he felt that it was strange, and when he stepped forward and observed carefully, Ying Ying found a trace of outline on the stone, so he called the surrounding team members to come together to splice this badly damaged stone statue.
After roughly piecing together the scattered stones around them according to the outline, all the team members could clearly see that this strange stone was really a man-made object, and after the remaining stones were put together, a broken statue appeared, and then repaired and filled in by the computer's 3D software, the ancient statue was more clearly presented in front of their eyes.
This is a piece of flesh carved with countless tentacles, and in the center of the tentacles, a human figure can be faintly seen, this discovery greatly inspired the surrounding archaeological team, they all agreed that this statue is the greatest discovery of this century, and a team member holding the broken stone on the side, accidentally fell on the statue in excitement, and the statue moved backwards a meter under his pressure. In the angry eyes of the team members, a secret passage appeared beneath the statue.
The team members who were still excited were angry that the man almost destroyed the statue, but the appearance of this underground passage made them even more excited and excited, just a statue can bring them countless benefits, not to mention this artificially dug underground passage, which must hide more and more important secrets.
However, due to the lack of equipment at that time, they did not go down directly, but moved the statue to seal this entrance, after all, it was an underground passage established many years ago, and it would be bad if it was broken into by other animals.
And a group of people hurriedly returned to the scientific research base by the same route, and came here again with the equipment for the expedition.
They were already prepared and pushed the statue away, and all the people brought oxygen cylinders, after all, the underground situation is unknown, and there may be unknown viruses and poisonous gases, so the necessary protection is necessary.
Captain Robert ordered the two team members to stay at the entrance of the cave, and then the others slowly moved towards the cave with safety ropes, which was a countermeasure they had discussed on the way here, after all, it would be very dangerous for a group of people to go down.
After a short walk, the group came to an empty cavern, which Robert studied again after testing the signal on the walkie-talkie.
Despite the long history, the group could tell at a glance that it was a man-dug cavern, and that this cave was connected to four passages in different directions, one in the direction they came from, and the other three seemed to lead to the others.
"Captain, what do we do now?" Mike is the youngest member of the scientific expedition team in the group, and he is also the most interested in this cave exploration, after all, many TV movies have said that the Antarctic continent has a mysterious civilization, although other archaeological team members believe that this is the remains of ancient humans, but he firmly believes that the alien remains here, after all, after the First World War in New York, the alien civilization is not a secret in the eyes of Midgard.
"Mike, don't get excited, whether it's scientific research or archaeology, stay calm to find the truth." Robert is forty-nine years old, but he is still not well-known in the scientific research community, which makes it very difficult for him to accept the arrogance, you must know that from childhood to adulthood, he has grown up in the admiration of others, but since he chose the path of scientific research, his legendary life seems to have been interrupted.
He also wanted to give up, but if he left like this, then his face would be completely gone, so after discovering the ruins this time, he chose not to tell the people above for the time being, but chose to lead the team to explore and then report the information.
After carefully distinguishing the other three different passages, Robert finally chose to move forward collectively, after all, this is a relic from I don't know how many years ago, it is better to move forward carefully, even if it is famous, it must be enjoyed by life, isn't it.
Since it is a collective advance, it is not important to take which road first, after Robert chose the leftmost passage, the group gradually went deeper, and the two people on the ground, one is responsible for staring at the video data transmitted back from the surveillance screen, and the other is responsible for maintaining vigilance and guarding the leash.
