Chapter 12: The Mystery of Signals
"Well, has the source of the signal been found?" As soon as he returned, Boris couldn't wait to ask.
"Found it, in a gold and bronze tiger talisman in a jewelry box."
"The Golden Bronze Tiger Talisman?" Boris clearly did not know anything about it.
"That's right! The tiger talisman is a token of the ancient generals, and the owner of this tomb was a military general during his lifetime. Seeing that Boris obviously didn't understand the meaning of the tiger talisman, he explained it.
"Can't you take it out and study it carefully!" Boris looked excited.
"Not now, now the cultural relics are still being counted and sorted, even if they want to be lent, they will have to wait until the excavation is basically over, and the cultural relics are registered in the warehouse."
"That's going to be a few days! It will take three days at the earliest! ”
"How could this ancient tiger talisman emit an airwave signal? Could it be that I am mistaken! You said that this should be an ancient tomb more than 3,000 years ago, and it was still the age of cold weapons! It wasn't until the 19th century that humans mastered radio signals! There are still more than a thousand years to go, what the hell is going on. "I was confused and asked questions. The atmosphere in the room froze instantly, and this unbelievable question stumped us all one by one.
"Okay, let's not think about it so much for now, let's borrow the tiger talisman and take a look! Even if you want to break your head now, you may not be able to figure out what the situation is. It was still the flame that broke the silence, "Just leave the tiger talisman to me!" I'll definitely lend it out. ”
"By the way, there is an X-ray machine at the archaeological site! You take a few X-rays of the Tiger Talisman, and I'm going to see what's so special about it. Boris admonished, and he nodded in agreement.
After continuing to be busy for three days, the ancient tomb was basically cleaned up, and on the fourth morning, he also successfully borrowed the tiger talisman, but the time was only three days, and he had to return it after three days. She also took a few X-rays, but the X-rays didn't show anything unusual inside, and if it weren't for the signal receiver receiving the signal from time to time, we might all wonder if it was taken by mistake. This tiger talisman is 16 centimeters long, the tiger's mouth is slightly open, the tiger's tail is slightly rolled upward, and the overall use of copper and gold technology is very exquisite. As soon as Boris got the tiger talisman, he immediately studied it, and he shut himself in his room all day except for meal time, and it was not until we returned from eating out in the evening that we saw him sitting alone on the sofa in the hall.
"No result! Didn't eat! Listen to dinner first. "I guess the dumb roommate must have forgotten to eat out, so I brought him dinner.
Boris smiled and said, "I'm really hungry, thank you!" After saying that, he took a big bite and ate it. After he had finished eating, we talked about this strange tiger talisman again.
"The only thing that is certain now is that this Tiger Charm is indeed a faster-than-light long-wave signal transmitter, it starts every six hours, works for 3 minutes each time, and the wavelength is the same as the strange signal I found in Celta, but the internal structure is unknown, and I can't see any internal components of the Tiger Charm under the X-ray machine."
"Why, there are no other strange places in this tomb besides this." I'm trying to find some clues from the tomb itself.
"This is an ancient tomb of the Liao Dynasty, about three thousand years from the Ling, the ancient tomb is undoubtedly from the Liao Dynasty in terms of style and unearthed cultural relics, except for this tiger talisman There is nothing strange about it, it is normal." Flocculation worked hard to return
The tone of the process of reminiscing about the excavation is very positive.
"Will it ever be stolen?"
"No, this tomb has not been stolen from Li Yutang, the tomb has not been disturbed, and there are no traces of theft in the situation at the scene, mainly in the inner wooden coffin."
"That's strange, how can a product of civilization thousands of years later appear in it! And it also appears as an ancient item! Boris muttered to himself.
"Everyone think about it, you can think about it, don't think about it according to the usual logic, the more bizarre the idea, the more wrong it may be!" He said as he looked at me and Boris at a loss.
"Where is this jewelry box in the coffin, and there is nothing in it except this tiger talisman." The location of the jewelry box may indicate how much attention the owner of the tomb attached to it during his lifetime, but I really can't think of a reason so I have to ask.
"Oh! The box wasn't in the coffin, it was in a dark room under the bottom of the coffin, and there was nothing but the tiger talisman. If I hadn't had a detector, I would have almost missed it. ”
"Then how can you remind Professor Li, you can't say that what I'm looking for hasn't been found yet, it's under the bottom plate!"
He tapped my head and smiled: "Of course I won't say that, Professor Li is really negligent because of insufficient manpower, in fact, when archaeological excavations, we have to follow the procedure of not seeing the raw soil and not calling it a day, I just reminded this, we lifted off the bottom of the coffin and went down to investigate the raw soil and found this dark room at once." ”
"Don't call it a day if you don't see the raw land?"
"Yes! Raw soil is the undisturbed soil under natural conditions, and if the tomb excavation is not cleaned to the original soil, theoretically speaking, it is not completely cleaned in place, and things may be missed, which can be said to be a taboo in archaeology. At that time, after finding the box, I saw that Li Yutang was very embarrassed. ”
"Then the owner of the tomb attaches great importance to such things, and the anti-theft factor should also be considered in this dark room, you almost missed it, if the tomb is robbed, even if the tomb is stolen, this dark room should not be found."
"Yes!" She nodded her head in approval. Boris didn't know anything about archaeology, so he let me and I discuss, and I leaned back on the sofa and pondered. The three of them really couldn't think of a reasonable explanation, and they went back to sleep when it was late.
The next morning I went to see Boris, and he was really tinkering with this thing again, as I expected, and seeing how attentive he looked, it seemed that I was going to bring him food again today. I also had to go to the museum to deal with the unearthed cultural relics, and I visited this museum with many cultural relics by myself. During this time, I was used to the days with Flotomy, and I was a little unaccustomed to not seeing her suddenly. Fortunately, the museum is quite rich in cultural relics, and the morning time passed quickly.
It was almost noon when I got a message from Boris that I didn't need to bring him lunch, and the guy finally went outside for a while. We talked about the situation of several other people over dinner, Selwyn and Besta basically visited the famous mountains and rivers, and those historical cities that have inherited thousands of years of civilization on Earth have not been to after being treated by Shakya Pagoda again. And the ancestor is just the opposite, he visited the historical and cultural cities, he also went back to his hometown once, and was surprised to find that in his hometown to commemorate the memory of the past generations of celebrities in the memorial hall of his introduction was put away
In a prominent vantage point.
"Didn't the old ancestor be recognized!" It was a fun topic, and I struck up a conversation.
"Nope! The photo picks a photo of his youth, which is too different from his current life, and if it weren't for the clear statement on his resume, he wouldn't even be able to recognize himself. ”
"By the way, didn't Grandpa Kong tell the local about his identity!"
"Nope! He said that it would not be possible to treat him as a monster, and it would also disturb his trip, and he came back here as if he had come to the future, and he was really not used to it. Although the earth is his hometown, it has changed too much in a thousand years, and his hometown is no longer what he remembers, and he doesn't have a friend, he doesn't know anyone, he said that he may have to go back to Celta after a while. ”
I nodded, and suddenly a little thought quickly burned in my mind, "You just said that Grandpa Kong said that he returned to Earth like he came to the future!" ”
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
"That's right! What's wrong! I smiled and said, "I think I might know why the Tiger Talisman that emits a long-wave signal appeared in the tomb three thousand years ago." ”
"How did it happen?"
I didn't point out the reason at once, but said slowly: "You know that I met in Green Star and Grandpa Kong. I just suddenly had a thought, if I go to a planet with a low level of civilization, I can't come back and stay there forever, and after a hundred years, I will be buried there with the Qingshuang you gave me, and then thousands of years later, my grave will be discovered, and they will definitely wonder how Qingshuang came from. ”
"Don't say a hundred years later!" My eyes were full of love, and I held her hand in my heart.
"I know what you mean, you mean that the owner of the tomb is an alien visitor at all, who came to live on Earth three thousand years ago and died on Earth, and after his death, he was buried in the ground with some of his original things, and the things in this tiger talisman were originally brought by him, but he used the tiger talisman to cover up the strange appearance of that thing!" She nodded as she spoke, her eyes shining.
"By the way, do you want to autopsy the corpse! If it turns out that the corpse is different from the internal structure of our humans, it will confirm my suspicion. ”
"Yes, it will take a day or two, but at first glance, the ancient corpse still looks like an earthling. Let's talk about the specific dissection! What if that ancient corpse was sure to be an earthling? She blinked.
"That can also be explained, you think, if you pass by a planet with intelligent life, and you accidentally leave something behind and the people of this planet pick it up as a treasure, and then you are buried after death, won't the current situation occur?"
"yes, it makes sense."
When we came back in the evening and talked to Bori about our speculations, he opened his mouth wide and looked incredulous, but after thinking about it, he agreed with us. Otherwise, there is really no reasonable explanation.
The next day was the day of the appointment to return the tiger talisman, and Boris handed the tiger talisman with a box to the hug. When I asked him what the box was for, he said that the box could shield the radio waves emitted from it, and his receiver always received this strange signal, and he couldn't sleep at the thought of it, so he simply made such a thing, out of sight, to save trouble.
