Chapter 187: The Great Desert
The desert, monotonous yellow, scorching yellow, dull yellow, it is majestic, quiet, with a straight face, as if there is an invisible force in the darkness, the turbulent waves here, the empty angry waves, all solidified, so that it remains static forever, unmoved.
In the endless sea of sand, the green of the camp is very conspicuous. The rows of tents have injected infinite vitality into the originally silent sea of sand. In order to survive research in the desert, the archaeological research team built a simple power station here. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of water in the desert, and even if everyone uses various methods of water extraction, it cannot meet the water needs of the entire archaeological research team. Therefore, the staff of the research team decided to spend manpower and material resources to transport water from the nearest supply station.
The vast desert, the dead sea of sand, some sand willows, with their tenacious perseverance, have deeply rooted their roots in the sandy soil, up to dozens of meters, and have been stretching to places with water sources. Here, once life is created, it is difficult to die. In a difficult environment, great and tenacious lives can often be born. And at this time, human beings, who have always claimed to be the masters of the earth, seem so small and fragile.
Night, as scheduled.
The sky is dotted with stars.
In the desert camp, the lights have been turned on.
After the trimmed river fire, the curtain of the tent was opened, and she came out from within, and a breeze swept her cheeks and brought up the hair that hung down. Jiang Huo stretched out his hands, tightened his clothes, brushed his hair behind his ears, and paced to the periphery. On the other side of the stone pillar, several huge searchlights were transported, and the lights were bright, as if it were day.
"What's the matter, are the professors still studying there?"
Jiang Huo looked at the time on his watch, it was already more than ten o'clock at night, and looking at this scene from a distance, these old professors seemed to have been buried in the stone pillar to study, and they had not rested at all.
The staff in charge of the camp guard almost all knew this little girl who eliminated the phenomenon of sand depression, and when they heard Jiang Huo's inquiry, someone immediately stood up and answered Jiang Huo's question: "Yes, since the situation of the yellow sand subsidence has completely disappeared, these old professors have been staying there to study, so far, everyone present is very excited, they seem to have forgotten their hunger, they have been holding tools and instruments, where to study the stone pillar, and they don't seem to stop to rest." Our leaders have been there to persuade him, but no one is willing to deal with him. ”
Jiang Huo smiled, nodded and thanked the staff member who stood up to answer, she asked the people around her for a few packets of vacuum-packed food, then she took a step and walked in the direction of the stone pillar, when she arrived, she knew how warm the atmosphere of the scene was.
"I said, this stone pillar is definitely a product of that time, you see, the text relief on it is the best proof."
"Can you explain how such a large stone pillar was transported under that social environment at that time?"
"It is still possible to transport the stone pillars here, but to dig such a large area in the desert as a tomb, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is not an overnight thing."
"Okay, okay, don't argue, if you want to know the real reason, don't see the objects inside, now it's all a blind guess, or think of a way, how to remove the yellow sand around!"
As soon as these words came out, the old professors who were arguing about the age of the stone pillar closed their mouths, they had already studied it carefully, and the stone slabs around the stone pillar were fitted with a high degree of skill, and it was not easy to start from above.
Moreover, they are here to conduct archaeological research, not to rob tombs, and this kind of reckless excavation method will never be used unless there are special circumstances.
Everyone didn't care whether the stone slab was clean or not, they all sat on the ground, their eyes looked at the stone pillar in front of them suspiciously, just when they were sitting there entangled and scratching their cheeks, Jiang Huo found Professor Liu from the crowd, she walked to the old professor's side, took out the vacuum food from the staff from her pocket, patted the other party's shoulder, and said: "Professor Liu, eat something to cushion your stomach first, we are already here, and we are not afraid of delaying such three or five minutes." ”
Professor Liu heard the words coming from behind him, he immediately turned his head while sitting on the ground, with a surprised expression on his face, and did not speak, he directly took the food handed by Jiang Huo, without the slightest intention of refusing, he tore open the seal, took out the beef inside, put it in his mouth, and kept chewing.
When the vacuum bag was torn open by Professor Liu, an "enticing" fragrance wafted out of it. Although the smell is mixed with the smell of paper bags, in the eyes of hungry people, it is already considered a delicacy in the world. With the sound of Professor Liu chewing, the gluttonous worms in the stomachs of everyone present were all hooked.
Some swallowed a mouthful of saliva and gurgled in their stomachs.
"Lao Liu, I just said that you brought a granddaughter out, you still don't admit it, you see, I'm afraid you're hungry and I'll bring you food." Professor Zhou was the first to speak, he stood up, stretched out his hand to pat the dust on his clothes, and said, "Okay, okay, let's see again tomorrow and go back to dinner." ”
Professor Zhou opened his mouth to start, and the old professors around him responded, of course, while responding, they did not forget to say a few words to Professor Liu. After packing up the information transcribed today, people walked briskly in groups in the direction of the camp. I didn't eat or drink for seven or eight hours, and I was able to survive until now because of my curiosity and love for scientific research.
While the old professors were packing up their things, the staff at the camp were notified, and they hurriedly reheated the prepared ingredients to try to have hot food when everyone returned. Due to environmental constraints, it was impossible to set up a special camp canteen for everyone in the desert, so everyone returned to their tents after receiving food.
When Qian Xingxing and Wu Tiantian walked into the tent with their lunch boxes, a faint smell of blood entered the tip of their noses.
"What does it smell like? Feeling so strange and so familiar? ”
Qian Xingxing frowned and asked Jiang Huo and Wu Tiantian.
After hearing Qian Xingxing's inquiry, Jiang Huo immediately reacted, the smell of blood in the air was the smell of dirty blood that came out of the feather needles in her body before. [.]
