"It seems that this class of super generals is indeed brave and strategic." After reading Shibi's translation, everyone sighed with emotion.

"Ban Chao is eloquent, well-read, and able to weigh the importance and examine the reasoning. During his 31 years in the Western Regions, he correctly implemented the Han Dynasty's policy of "cutting off the right arm of the Xiongnu" and based himself on winning the majority from beginning to end, dividing, disintegrating, and expelling the Xiongnu forces. Therefore, the battle must be won, and the attack must be won. It not only maintained the security of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also strengthened the ties with all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and made outstanding contributions to pacifying the Western Regions and promoting ethnic integration. Lin Feng nodded and concluded.

"It seems that the [Flying Stone] mentioned in the wall text may be related to the meteorite we are looking for." Yuan Haochen said while pondering, the sergeant in last night's dream also mentioned the [Flying Stone Beyond the Sky], but there was no description of Princess Hanyue in the dream in this translation.

"Looks like we've got a new clue!" Lu Qinglian said happily.

"Yes, it is mentioned at the end of the translation that this [Flying Stone from the Sky] was finally placed in the underground dark room in front of the square of the "Yadan Pagoda", the tallest building in the northeast corner of the ancient city of Loulan. Lin Feng said as he flipped through the translation.

"The meteorite samples in our laboratory may be part of this [flying stone]." Yuan Haochen guessed based on this dream and Shibi's translation.

"Then let's hurry up and go to the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan tomorrow." Chen Xi said excitedly.

"The ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan are deep in the northwest coast of Lop Nur, and the traffic is extremely inconvenient, but it is not so easy to reach, we need to make good preparations." Yuan Haochen said.

"We can first go to the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan to do a preliminary survey, and the ancient city of Loulan is a non-tourist open area, and special approval from the cultural relics department is required to enter. If the route passes through the military control zone, it must also be approved by the military department. Lin Feng added.

"I will report to Dean Li in a moment, on the one hand, we may need more adequate scientific research funding, and on the other hand, we need to ask the university to come forward and apply to the local cultural relics protection agency. By the way, Lin Feng, the summary of cultural and historical data and archaeological discovery information involved in the application report is your strong point, and it may be hard for you at night, please. Yuan Haochen looked at Lin Feng and said sincerely.

"That's so kind, that's what I'm going to do." Lin Feng replied with a smile, "Besides, our discovery is of great significance, and it will definitely shock the archaeological community again!" “

"Hopefully our next discovery will shock the astronomical community, haha." Yuan Haochen said with a smile.

"Definitely, let's do it!"

Everyone was excited, full of expectations for the next scientific expedition

The Taklamakan Desert is the second largest desert in the world, and it is second only to the Sahara Desert in Africa.

In the Uyghur language, Taklamakan means "to walk in and not to get out".

The Taklamakan Desert is located in the center of the Tarim Basin, with a length of about 1,000 kilometers from east to west, a width of about 400 kilometers from north to south, and an area of 337,600 square kilometers, which is equal to the total area of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces.

In this vast desert land, there is no grass, no trees, no houses, only endless sand dunes and endless sand mountains.

Desert summer temperatures reach up to 71°C, also known as the "Sea of Death".

The ancient city of Loulan is located in the hinterland of the Taklamakan Desert, northeast of Qiangruo County, about 300 kilometers away from the county seat, located on the north-west bank of Lop Nur, and 7 kilometers south of the Peacock River.

In 1900, Sven Hedin led a Swedish expedition to explore Lop Nur, but accidentally discovered the ancient city of Loulan.

In ancient times, Loulan was a prosperous country, located in the transportation hub of the Western Regions, with abundant water and grass, flat terrain, and was a well-known Silk Road town at that time.

Many caravans pass through this oasis with a temporary rest.

Around the 4th century AD, the once-famous country suddenly and mysteriously disappeared overnight, leaving only ruins in the desert.

The existing ruins of Loulan are roughly square, and the city walls on each side are about 330 meters, and there are still dilapidated courtyards and towering pagodas in the city

After nearly a day's drive, the four of Yuan Haochen set off from Minfeng County, crossed the end of the county, and arrived at the desolate Qiangruo County.

The crowd also chose the county's guest house to sit down and rest.

That night, the scientific expedition team got the news. After communication between Tsinghua University and the local cultural relics department and military management department, the scientific expedition team has been allowed to enter the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan.

In addition, the School of Archaeology, Culture and Museums of Tsinghua University will appoint Professor Zhang Wenming, a nationally renowned archaeological expert, to lead a team to participate in the scientific expedition of the ancient country of Loulan.

What is even more exciting news is that a local corps in Xinjiang will also send an army to escort them and assist in completing the excavation mission.

"Wow, Tsinghua University is so efficient! Got everything done so quickly. Lu Qinglian praised after learning the news.

"It will take two days for Professor Zhang and the army to reach Qiangruo County, so before that, let's rest and adjust for two days." Yuan Haochen said.

"Okay, you can go to the local area to eat, buy, buy, buy, hahaha." Lu Qinglian said happily.

"Girls are really foodies." Lin Feng quipped.

"You know what, it's the food and the scenery that you can't live up to. Qinglian, let's go together tomorrow. Chen Xi glanced at Lin Feng.

In the next two days, Lu Qinglian and Chen Xi really ate and drank a lot of nonsense in the local area.

Of course, the two of them also brought back a lot of new gadgets and delicacies, and Yuan Haochen and Lin Feng also followed suit.

In addition, Yuan Haochen had studied Lu Wen with Lin Feng in the past two days, and his super learning ability once again shocked everyone's jaws

Three days later, in the early morning, the Taklamakan Desert was filled with vast sand dunes and undulating sand dunes.

Waves of sand surged forward until they reached the horizon, and the zigzag dunes rose undulating where the sky and the earth met.

In this boundless sea of sand, occasionally dotted with scattered trees, that is, sand willows, inject some vitality into the originally silent sea of sand.

With tenacious perseverance, Salix takes root deep in the sandy soil, up to dozens of meters, and stretches out to the water source.

Everyone can't help but sigh that a difficult environment can often raise a great and tenacious life!

At this time, six desert off-road vehicles are hovering in the sand sea, pushing over the sand dunes like the majestic waves!

In addition to Professor Zhang Wenming, an archaeological expert who led the team, and Yuan Haochen, there were also 20 soldiers of the Corps who had been tested in the desert for a long time.

Everyone was full of spirit and ambition, like a goshawk flying out of the ancient poems, and couldn't wait to spread their majestic wings, like hunting and fluttering battle flags, towards the hinterland of the Taklamakan Desert - the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan.
