Chapter 113: National Treasure
After a long greeting, I finally talked about the development of the ruins. Shen Qingji sighed and said, "Before the end of the world, many ancient ruins were discovered in the world, and we also cooperated to develop some of them, but everyone still underestimated the seriousness and urgency of the matter. ”
"In fact, for the high-level leaders of various countries, it is not a big secret that many things that everyone is puzzled about, but they are just afraid of causing panic among the people, so they all tacitly keep silent."
Ling Yuexi was very curious when she heard this: "Elder Shen, what kind of thing are you referring to?" Can you tell me about that? ”
"Hehe, since I mentioned it, I'm not ready to hide anything, after all, it's all in the past, and it's not a great secret now." Shen Qingji said with a smile, but a mouth was very shocking.
"Like, aliens. No matter what the outside world speculates, we have long known that it really exists. And many people have seen some remnants, and even the remains of so-called extraterrestrial life. ”
"Shhh Ling Yuexi and the others all exclaimed. It's amazing.
"This kind of thing is like this, no matter how much you doubt that there are aliens in the universe, but as long as there is no definite evidence, no amount of speculation is just speculation. There are many such incidents, and no one can confirm them, and not many people believe them even if they say them. ”
Shen Qingji said, as if he was telling a trivial matter.
"From all kinds of ruins and wreckage, we have also obtained some useful things and technologies, but we are still far behind foreign countries in this regard. There are some things that can be deduced backwards by not studying some fragments, and if the basic theory is insufficient, you can't get it out. It's like a piece of iron, you know it has good performance, but if you can't research the corresponding formula, you can't produce it. ”
"Just like the United States, we even wondered if they had contact with living aliens, but no one would admit it. After all, the interests involved are too great, and sometimes, a few words of reminder is a major breakthrough! ”
Everyone nodded their heads as they listened. Even if it's just a few letters of E = mc² (energy = mass x the square of the speed of light), this is the theory of relativity! The atomic bomb has been developed, and I don't think it can be compared with the analysis of fragments.
Shen Qingji smiled and said: "Actually, it is very simple to prove this kind of thing, as long as you have indeed seen even one alien, then you can deduce that there are more aliens, and there can't be only one kind." However, there is now debate as to whether the remains were alien visitors or ancient intelligent life. ”
"Also, let me ask you, do you know how long the Earth has existed?"
Several people glanced at each other and felt a little inexplicable.
Ling Yuexi became curious, knowing that he wouldn't just ask such a simple question, she said, "Isn't it 4.6 billion years?" Although there are many theories, scientists have confirmed that the age of the earth is 4.6 billion years. ”
"Hehe, yes, but you know, how do they know this age? Or how did you come to this conclusion? Shen Qingji asked, he didn't wait for an answer and preached directly,
"The salinity of the oceans was first studied to estimate the age of the earth; Later, through the study of biological fossils, the method of determining the relative age of rocks was extrapolated; The current 4.6 billion years is a calculation of the decay time of radioactive elements present in the earth's crust. ”
"That is, find a large pile of stones on the earth and determine their age, and the oldest one is close to the age of the earth."
Ling Yuexi nodded, "That's right, that's the truth, the oldest matter on the earth should be closest to the age of the earth, it makes sense logically." ”
Shen Qingji added: "There is a saying in Western countries that some church priests claim that the earth was created by God 4,000 years ago. However, many people scoff at this nonsense. But interestingly, there is also a saying in our country that the earth was formed more than 3,000 years ago by a powerful god who pinched together the fragments in the starry sky. ”
"What? Earth is only a little over 3,000 years old? How can it be? Everyone, including the people at the Xiaotangshan base, was dumbfounded. No one could believe that the Earth could be so young.
"Hahaha!" Shen Qingji smiled like an old child, "To be honest, I don't believe it either, I think it's nonsense, the most lame joke." But after the end of the world, I think again, who said that this must not be true? Everyone knows the Romance of the Gods, if that story has some truth......"
Shen Qingji said solemnly again: "It's clear that the 'Boundary Card Guan Four Saints Break the Immortals' is there, and in the end, the desolate world was shattered, and a part of the fragments formed the earth, it's not impossible at all, right?" ”
He pointed to the people present: "At least, the last days have proved to us that human beings can evolve, and this is true for everyone here, doesn't that mean that there are infinite possibilities?" ”
There was silence at the scene, and it was extremely scary to think about it, there were so many coincidences, who knew which one was true. Ling Yuexi even thought of the ordinary-looking bartender in the tavern, "Is that a mortal?" ”
Could it be that the earth was really created by man more than 3,000 years ago!?
It's just that there are 4.6 billion-year-old stones in the fragments.
This is very mysterious, but the end times themselves are very mysterious, and this one is not bad.
Shen Qingji said lightly at this time. Ever heard that? The end point of biology is chemistry, the end point of chemistry is physics, the end point of physics is mathematics, and the end point of mathematics is philosophy.
So what is the end of philosophy? Maybe it's - theology?! ”
……
Walking out of the City Lord's Mansion, everyone was still in a sluggish state, Ling Yuexi smiled bitterly and said, "Old Shen, you really scared us. ”
Shen Qingji laughed happily, his voice was very hearty, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with scaring everyone, "Haha, when people are old, they like to ponder, but no matter what, we all have to live in the present, don't we?" ”
In the capital in March, it was still very cold, the ground was white everywhere, and every mouth was a burst of white mist. But what is colder than the weather is the human heart, which is deep in fear.
"Let's go, I heard that you are interested in those things in those ruins, come with me to have a look." Shen Lao said casually, and he didn't seem to care too much about those precious treasures, just like ordinary antiques.
Ling Yuexi asked curiously, "Elder Shen, aren't those all priceless treasures?" How do you think you don't value it very much? ”
"Well, the last days are a crisis, and for some people, isn't it an opportunity? I'm old, and if I had been younger, I might have cared about these things. Saying that, Shen Lao sighed, at this moment, there was less of the spirit of scaring people just now, and more of the sadness of the old man in the twilight.
"Crisis or opportunity?" Ling Yuexi also pondered that only science is the truth in modern society, not because science is good, but because human beings have to choose the possibility of cultivation.
In other words, human beings did not choose science in the cultivation civilization and the scientific and technological civilization, but after being abandoned by the cultivation civilization, they had to choose to develop science and technology.
……
Bypassing the City Lord's Mansion, in a remote corner in the northwest of the territory, this is the location of the Shenbei Territory Guard Battalion, and an outbuilding sits here.
Seeing this building, Ling Yuexi roughly guessed that the things inside must have been transferred recently. Also, in the last days, no cave, or bunker is safe in a high-level territory. Of course, these important materials must be shipped back to be reassuring.
Ling Yuexi's surprised expression quickly returned to normal, just looking around, this was a small Chinese-style building, five stories high, with several wings and courtyards in front and back.
It seems that there are not many things on the scale here, but also, there are piles of real treasures, and they are not vases, calligraphy and paintings for ordinary exhibitions.
Ling Yuexi was full of anticipation......
Following Shen Lao into the door, the room in front of him emitted a whole body of white light, and the brightness was relatively high. There is no gloom and oppression of old-fashioned buildings at all. Within two steps, her eyes began to sparkle, and to her shock, she was shocked by a life-size statue of a pharaoh standing in front of her.
She saw that the whole body of the statue was faintly glowing, and the statue of the pharaoh was emitting a purple light, almost black purple!
"Wow——! What's the situation? What is this thing, and how does it emit light on its own? ”
Ling Yuexi's mind was full of questions, eager to know the answer, but this was obviously not the place to study the problem.
Shen Lao looked at Ling Yuexi and said, "This is something I brought back from Egypt in '78, and it's a country that likes to study death. The things they have there are full of mystery, and the things here were originally kept in the underground secret base, and they were only transferred here some time ago. ”
Forcibly suppressing the curiosity in her heart, Ling Yuexi thought, could it be that black and purple color represents death?
Ling Yuexi was already using her pupil technique to observe, a dried corpse wrapped in an unknown fabric, but it revealed uneasiness and obscurity, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Walking inside, the shock immediately struck again.
This is a stone statue of a crouching lion in BC, simple and rude and very charming.
"These are all brought back from abroad, most of them are expedition projects that have been internationally cooperated, and we can not get many of them, and even fewer are really valuable."
The lion's surface also emits this strange light, this time it is black. It seems that it may have something to do with the age of the cultural relics, and the light emitted will be different! At the same time, Ling Yuexi also found that her pupil technique was also limited, obviously in terms of distance, and this kind of fine observation was only effective at close range.
Only within five meters of the antiques can you clearly see their light, and beyond this distance, it is no different from ordinary people.
Knowing this, Ling Yuexi suddenly felt a little lost.
"This pupil technique isn't too good! You have to get close to find the treasure, and it doesn't mean that you can find antiques that others can't see by scanning the streets. ”
At the same time, she was also a little glad that she actually had the ability to appreciate treasures, which is a very useful skill.
If you don't have this distance limit, that's even better!
