Chapter Eighty-Nine: Literal Relics
“…… All for one, one for all...... The future is one, the past is one, and the present is one......"
The strange and distorted muffled chant echoed in the communication system, and several members of the expedition team in the submersible only felt creepy.
Around them, there were stone statues that did not move, as if the chanting was the voice of the stone statues shouting in unison.
"All for one, one for all? This...... Isn't that the words of the revolutionary sages? Materialistic haunting? It's not scientific......" Kong Yan muttered with a pale face.
Jiang Bing's face sank like water, and said: "Shut up, listen carefully, that is not four sounds, but two sounds!" ”
All for one, all for me, one for all, all for all!
"What's two, four? What are you talking about? Qiao next to him said with a puzzled expression, "This voice is pure London......"
"No, it's Russian." Ivan retorted.
The four of them looked at each other at this time, and they were all worried in their hearts, not knowing what was going on.
Four people heard three languages, what is the situation?
The chanting sounded for only a few seconds, then quickly faded away, and soon fell to peace, as if nothing had happened.
"Hidden Dragon, Hidden Dragon, what happened? Why is there a chanting sound? "The voice of the command was heard over the communicator.
The people in the ice base and the headquarters in Reykjavik also heard the chanting through the communicator, but what they heard was chanting in hundreds of languages at the same time, a mixture of even more eerie.
"We ...... It's also not clear...... It seems that there was a ...... just now Radio interference? Jiang Bing frowned and looked at the stone statue outside the cabin that was grabbed by the mechanical arm, and said slowly, "The situation at the site of the ruins has changed, apply to terminate the mission and return immediately!" Complete! ”
As a senior vice captain of the Ice Dragon scientific expedition team, she has also encountered many dangers during the scientific expedition, and her intuition at this time tells her that she should leave here as soon as possible!
No matter what the sound was just now, it made her very uncomfortable......
The remaining three members of the scientific expedition team glanced at each other, and although they disagreed with Jiang Bing's decision, they did not say anything.
At this time, they are alone at the bottom of the sea thousands of meters deep and must trust each other.
In particular, trust your captain.
Several high-level officials from various countries in charge of the operation at the headquarters looked at each other and were a little puzzled.
For these team members, especially Jiang Bing, they can be regarded as understanding.
Although Jiang Bing is a woman, she is resolute and resolute, and she is very radical in scientific research activities, what is wrong today?
Although the sound just now is strange, it may be caused by radio wave interference in communication, and there is no real danger.
It's really a little unwilling to retreat like this.
However, they also understand that in this kind of scientific exploration and exploration operation, the first thing to consider is the psychological factors of front-line scientific research personnel.
Now that Jiang Bing has submitted an application to terminate the mission, it is best to let them come back.
"Okay, you ......" the commander-in-chief took a deep breath and was about to let them return.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound from the bottom of the sea, and a relic building not far in front of the submarine collapsed!
It's the same building that used to be the Center for Disease Control and Prevention!
The collapse of the seabed is different from that on the ground, because it falls in the water, the time for the debris to fall is much slower, as if it were a slow release.
The submarine immediately ejected compressed gas and withdrew several tens of meters back.
"Hidden Dragon, stay where you are, don't move, stay safe!" The command center also saw this scene through the cameras and communication cables, and immediately said.
There are many high-rise buildings in this area, and the movement of submarines may cause large-scale landslides and be buried by rubble.
Soon, the entire building had gradually stopped collapsing, but fortunately, no other buildings had collapsed except this one.
Although the building has completely collapsed, there is still a wall left there.
Faintly, you can see some deeply carved symbols on the walls.
"It's words! There are words appearing! Kong Yan's eyes widened and he said loudly.
Several members of the scientific expedition team also saw that scene, and they were all excited.
Words are the symbol of civilization and the carrier of civilization information!
Words are the clues to the remains of this underwater stone statue!
Perhaps with these words, they will be able to unravel the mystery of the stone statues!
The voice of the commander-in-chief sounded again in the communication system:
"Hidden Dragon, Hidden Dragon, please explain the situation, are there any literal relics? Also, please check the imaging system, the signal of the imaging system is currently interrupted! Repeated, the current image system signal has been interrupted! Complete! ”
Li Tongchen and Lu Ran and hundreds of other people in the headquarters were all nervous at this time.
Just as the tall building had just finished collapsing, and they could faintly see the only remaining wall in front of them, still hidden by the sand and dust on the seabed, the video signal suddenly cut off.
The screen turned black and nothing could be seen.
Fortunately, voice communication is still possible.
Could it be that the seabed collapse just now destroyed the imaging system?
The submersible hovered in place, spotlights swept towards the wall, and the wall's footage appeared on the in-cabin monitors.
Ivan quickly checked the imaging and communication systems and found that everything was intact and that the submarine had not suffered any damage.
Present report:
"Dragon's nest, there are no problems with the camera and signal transmission system, it is suspected that it is a line failure, over!"
There was silence in the communicator, and it was clear that the decision-makers in the command had nothing to do.
Now there is no second submarine to go down to repair the cable, and the cable is several kilometers long, and no one knows what went wrong.
"Hidden Dragon, the priority has changed, please take a detailed photograph and bring back the textual relics, repeat, please take detailed photos and bring back the textual relics, over."
Since you can't see it, you can just bring it back.
And the cameras on the submersible can still be used, as long as these things are filmed, they can naturally be brought back to the surface for analysis.
Jiang Bing frowned, and replied: "The hidden dragon received it, take detailed photos, and bring back the literal relics, over." ”
Although she had been wanting to go back as soon as possible just now, and the uneasy feeling had become a little stronger now, after all, she had not encountered any real threat, and the orders of the headquarters still had to be carried out.
The remaining three team members were also full of excitement at this time.
Originally, they just came down for a symbolic mission, but they didn't expect to find the literal relics, which is definitely enough to go down in history!
If any sensational discoveries can be made on these literal relics, they will go down in history like Armstrong and others who were the first to land on the moon!
Piloting the submersible to move on, before coming to the only remaining stone wall, several people looked out through the monitor, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
What is deeply carved on the stone wall is two extremely complex chemical formulas, as well as some small text descriptions!
There is no doubt that this stone statue ruins must have come from a highly developed civilization!
Before he had time to think about it, Joe's robotic arm operating the submersible reached out, gently pierced into both sides of the stone wall text, and then slowly moved.
The stone wall in front of him shook suddenly, and a stone wall the size of a round table, engraved with two chemical formulas, was gently lifted.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ninety percent of the tasks have been accomplished.
The rest just needs to float up.
Jiang Bing immediately said: "Dragon's Nest, the hidden dragon has obtained the literal relics, and I request to return, over." ”
The feeling of uneasiness seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and she didn't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment.
"Hidden Dragon, you can go back, hard work, over."
After receiving the order from the headquarters, the Qianlong 9 submersible immediately sprayed compressed gas, returned to the main line cable, hooked it again, and then began to return to the home driven by the main line cable.
The submersible slowly floated up, looking at the underwater ruins that had fallen into deep darkness again, as well as the thousands of stone statues, the four members of the scientific expedition team couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The robotic arm outside the cabin was clutching the stone wall at this time, and as long as it was brought back safely, they would have succeeded this time.
Kong Yan smiled and quipped: "Captain, do you think we can win the Nobel Prize this time?" ”
Ivan corrected with a serious face: "Kong, the Nobel Prize does not have a prize for archaeology. ”
"Hahaha, Ivan, you're too strict......"
Several people were joking when the submersible suddenly shook, causing their bodies to shake violently.
Immediately after, a jaw-dropping scene appeared on the monitor:
The submersible's mechanical arm seemed to suddenly fail, and it suddenly squeezed hard into the middle, squeezing the stone wall marked with words directly into pieces!
The stone wall turned into a piece of debris and fell towards the bottom of the sea!
In the submersible's control system, Shen Feng casually controlled the robotic arm to crush the stone wall, thought about it, and deleted the image saved by the camera.
It was as if those words had never existed.
