Chapter 55: A Restored Civilization
"Come on! There is a new discovery!! ”
……
This voice was extremely abrupt, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The camera team that followed the team also adjusted the camera as soon as possible.
"What did you find?"
The three team leaders hurriedly ended the conversation and walked over, as did the rest of the people next to them.
The person who made the voice was a researcher in his thirties, who was standing by the river at the moment, looking very excited, waving the contents of the sealed bag in his hand:
"This! ...... I found in the riverbed Look! ”
And as a few people approached and saw the rusty metal artifact in the transparent bag, everyone present had a change in expression!
It was a knuckle-sized piece of metal.
There are obvious signs of corrosion on the surface.
The most important thing is that the shape of this thing is definitely not formed in nature.
There are very obvious traces of processing!
A piece of processed metalwork!
"Tweezers for me!" Academician Zhou said solemnly, and immediately put on gloves and used tweezers to clip out the metal object slightly awkwardly.
With the help of the sunlight, the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
"Bullets?" Suddenly, the geologist spoke.
Present, no one spoke.
In fact, even though it is heavily corroded, the appearance of this thing is still very naturally reminiscent of metal bullet shells.
"Give me the abrasives." Academician Zhou said again.
On the side, someone hurriedly brought a piece of sandpaper, and immediately, everyone simply gathered on a nearby stone and began to carefully polish it.
The movement was thin and slow, and as the rust was worn away little by little, the bullet buried in the soil gradually glowed with a cold glow of metal.
Even, probably because it was washed into the river for not too long, faintly, you can even see some things that seem to be numbered on it.
For a moment, the entire scene fell silent.
People looked at each other, and after a moment, Professor Sun suddenly looked at the young researcher: "Where did you find it?" ”
"It's right here in the riverbed, and it's supposed to be washed down from upstream."
“…… Dig down and see if there's anything else. ”
After a brief exchange, the whole team suddenly dispersed, and immediately took the excavation tools and began to dig along the river beach.
Considering that the "bullets" may have rushed down from the upstream, they did not expect much from this hasty excavation.
However, when the excavation began, the wet and soft earth was lifted, and it wasn't long before the sound of metal clashing sounded in everyone's ears.
"There's something in the dirt!"
"Stones?"
"No, it looks like metal!"
As they spoke, a young researcher dropped his tools, knelt beside the mud, pulled out a slender object with his hand, and tried to wash it away with the current.
And as the sludge was washed away, the rusty metal artifact was rediscovered, unveiled in plain sight, and only a commotion could be heard.
At this moment, the suspicions in their hearts were finally confirmed.
"It's ...... Firearms?! ”
I don't know who blurted out.
On the side, the accompanying officers who escorted these people also came over to confirm: "It does look like a firearm structure." ”
Digging out of the dirt, it turned out to be a badly rusted gun!
The wooden part has long since disappeared, leaving only structures such as the barrel.
If the "bullet" is only a suspicion, then when such a firearm, which is clearly an industrial creation, appears, no one can remain calm.
"Was it buried in the Tucker Desert? Or ......"
One person spoke, and the second half did not continue, but everyone understood what he wanted to say.
If it is said that it is buried in the Tucker Desert itself, it is fine, but if it is not......
"Could it be...... Has it really been a long time in this land? Even, the development of industrial civilization? ”
The geologist muttered in a low voice, apparently greatly shocked and stimulated.
After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly shouted with a slight gaffe:
"Dig! Keep digging! Follow this stream, up! ”
On the side, Academician Zhou also forcibly suppressed the astonishing conjecture in his heart, and said to the person in charge of communication:
"Send this news back immediately, and apply to send some archaeology scholars over! We're here...... Support needed! ”
……
……
"Did you find it?"
In the study room of Lishan, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Tuo's mouth and said softly.
When a scene from the scene appeared in the live broadcast room, the entire room almost exploded.
In the discussion forum next to it, thousands of speeches pop up every second, so much so that the area is stuck.
"What do I see?"
"Why don't journalists speak? Move the camera closer!! ”
"I'm blind, how does the thing they dig out of the ground look a bit like the barrel of a gun?"
"What the hell is going on in the black box?"
"I feel like it's big news again!"
Because the camera deliberately did not get too close, the specific conversations were not recorded, and the reporter did not speak rashly.
But even just these few pictures are enough to make people have countless associations.
And as people dig deeper in the picture, more objects are dug up.
Not only firearms, bullets, but also some strange things, and gradually, people also found that their judgment may have been wrong.
The bullet did not appear to have washed up from upstream, but rather that the area itself was a "ruin" that was only discovered because it was close to a water source and was thinned by the current.
And as the skeleton of a car was excavated, the entire live broadcast room was detonated again.
However, Lin Tuo yawned:
"It doesn't seem like anything unexpected happened."
Originally, he was staring at the live broadcast to avoid accidents, but now it seems that there are no other problems except that the ruins were discovered earlier than he expected.
Looking at the time, it was almost evening.
casually glanced at the sand table, Lin Tuo was about to close the live broadcast.
Suddenly, he looked at him and let out a soft sigh: "Huh? ”
I saw that in the sand table, in front of the team, there was a group of wild beasts quietly approaching, as if they were eyeing these uninvited guests.
Lin Tuo leaned down and probably counted it, and there were really a lot of them.
"Do you want to intervene?"
Compared with the strength of the two sides, these beasts will naturally not be opponents of thermal weapons, but they are numerous and occupy advantageous positions, and if they are not dealt with properly, they are also prone to damage.
"Well, let's give a little warning."
After a brief hesitation, Lin Tuo raised his right hand lightly and gently fell into the sand table.
A finger landed lightly on a mountain in the center of the two sides.
……
Inside the oasis.
On the ground, the excavation work is still in full swing, and the sun is already setting in the west, and it has not stopped.
In mid-air, the helicopter was still patrolling the surroundings.
Suddenly, an observer finally caught a dark shadow approaching in the distance.
"On the ground, watch out for a large number of unknown creatures approaching in the southwest!"
Commands are given via the communicator.
On the ground, the team, which had been exhausted from guarding for a long time, was suddenly startled, and the officer in charge immediately shouted:
"Alert! Southwest direction! ”
"What?"
Hearing this rapid signal, the crowd that was doing the excavation work stopped their movements at the same time, and there was a slight commotion.
And yet at this very moment.
Suddenly, everyone felt a strange breeze swept by the surrounding trees, and the trees swayed, and in an instant, a strange loud noise suddenly appeared in the mountains to the southwest.
"Boom!!"
The loud sound was like muffled thunder, and at this moment, there was a slight shock in the surrounding land.
"Be careful!"
"What happened?"
The crowd was momentarily panicked, and the approaching beasts were suddenly frightened, and with their acumen beyond humans, they could clearly sense the invisible pressure descending from the mountains ahead.
Without hesitation, and without waiting for the shaking to stop, they dispersed and fled.
The personnel on the helicopter who watched were confused for a while, and immediately reported: "The target has dispersed, and the cause of the shaking is unknown." ”
Ground.
When the group heard the news that the danger was lifted, they became more and more nervous.
"It's not too early, this land is too mysterious, everyone pack up, mark it, and return." In the crowd, Academician Zhou looked deeply into the depths of the oasis for a while and said decisively.
……
Ten minutes later, the entire team began to evacuate.
The speed of return was naturally much faster, and just as the sun was about to sink into the horizon, the group finally left the oasis range intact and entered the rear base.
They were accompanied by countless specimens and "excavations".
Predictably, this night, and for many more to come, the base will not be quiet.
……
Leaving the mountain martial arts hall.
Before the live broadcast ended, Lin Tuo closed the computer.
He could almost foresee the global Internet hustle and bustle for many days, but he didn't plan to pay attention to it.
"The first contact went well, and then how to excavate the ruins and mine the oasis is a headache for them."
In a good mood, he pushed open the door and walked into the martial arts arena, Lin Tuo saw that in the center of the courtyard, Huaxi was meditating cross-legged with a serious face, his eyes closed, his back straight, and he was running the "Qi Eating Method".
"Well, speaking of which, the matter of the oasis is over for the time being, and it's time to grasp the work of Yangcheng's cultivation promotion." Lin Tuo stood with his hands in his hands, his thoughts fluttering.
After these days of fermentation, the spread of the "Qingling Breath Technique" is indeed steadily rising, and the results are gratifying, but in Lin Tuo's opinion, it is too slow after all.
"Or is there a lack of a flashpoint, isn't it time to think of a way? Well, let's count the number of cultivators in Xia Yang City tonight. ”
Silently calculating in his heart, Lin Tuo walked slowly to Huaxi's side, and then raised his hand and patted the little girl's head to wake her up.
"Hmm...... Teacher? Huaxi detached from the cultivation state in a daze, as if he had just woken up, and his expression was a little dazed.
Then, I heard Lin Tuo laugh and say, "Let's cultivate here today, go take a bath, and go out to eat with me later, just for today's holiday." ”
"Oh," Huaxi nodded subconsciously before reacting, "Holiday?" Is today a holiday in this world? ”
Lin Tuo nodded and sighed: "Yes, today is the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and couples must die." ”
Huaxi: "? ”
