After listening to Xiao Zhang's two "truth stories", everyone's spirits were lifted. Although the wind and sand seem to be less, it is still difficult to travel.

Wang Tainian put his hand on the corner of the eye of the dust hat, looked at the gray sky, pointed straight ahead with his hand, and shouted behind him: "Professor Fu! According to the map record, it should be a dozen miles not far ahead, why did you walk for so long and not reach the place? Is it because the wind and sand are so strong that the ruins have been buried? ”

"This time the wind and sand flooded the surrounding hills, and it was delayed for a while. There is a raised hill in front of us, we go to avoid the wind and sand, I need to check the latitude and longitude points, and then look for it with more certainty. Professor Fu behind Wang Tainian suggested.

Wang Tainian had already seen the bulging hill in front of him, and shouted: "Everyone follow me, go ahead and find the uplifted sand dunes to avoid the wind and sand before leaving!" ”

About half an hour later, the expedition team gathered under the uplifted dunes. After a while, the wind and sand suddenly stopped, and several young team members couldn't help but cheer. After the wind and sand passed, it was just time to slap the sand and dust off the body.

"I can finally catch my breath, this damn weather is terrible, wearing a mask, and there is sand in my mouth." A young teammate muttered.

At this time, I saw that Professor Fu took off the dust cover, revealing a thin face, looking in his fifties, taking off his glasses and wiping them clean with a tissue, putting on his glasses, picking up the theodolite on his waist, looking at it fixedly, and saying to everyone: "The weather in this area is so changeable!" According to the latitude and longitude, the ruins are just a few miles ahead. All we need to do is find the highest hill not far ahead, and we should be able to spot the pillar marker! "This Professor Fu is Fu Wudian, a scientific research expert.

Wang Tainian snorted, nodded, and said, "So, as long as we go north along this side, we will be able to find the ruins immediately." ”

Fu Wudian lifted his glasses and said in a firm tone, "Not bad." If you hold on a little longer, you will be able to reach the stone pillar, which is already very close. ”

A middle-aged team member behind him asked: "Isn't this site just a piece of equipment, from the time I took the mission to the present, why do I think this equipment exploration is so mysterious?" ”

Wang Tainian looked at the team member and said, "Since this is a secret exploration issued by the Seventh Bureau of National Security, of course we have to do a good job of secrecy." This equipment has been designated by the research institute to take over, so we just have to investigate and haul it, and the real secret will not be known until Professor Fu and them study it, haha! ”

Fu Wudian said: "Everyone has their own duties, I can only say that this is related to the quantum laser weapon project researched by the state." The first task at the moment is to find the bluestone pillar so that we can enter. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement. After resting for a while, Wang Tainian waved his hand and instructed everyone to ride on camels and continue north.

"Captain, Professor! You see, isn't it the stone pillar that protrudes from the sand dunes over there? One of the team members shouted at a distant protrusion in the northerly direction.

"That's right, Xiao Zhang! Or do you have good eyesight! We've finally found it, let's go! Let's go check it out! ”

When the expedition reached the protrusion, they dismounted from their camels. Wang Tainian commanded: "Young comrade, come and shovel away this sand and dust, so that the upper half of the stone pillar can be exposed, so that Fu Wudian can start his work." ”

Several young teammates echoed the call and picked up the tool shovel. Under the command of Wang Tainian, shovel away the sand and dust on the protrusions. After everyone's concerted efforts, the top of the bluestone pillar finally came out! The pillar is about half a meter long and wide, and has a square structure, with a fist-sized pyramid-shaped metal block at the top, and a large circular metal ring on top of it, on which four iron chains are tied to the outside, and the rest is buried under the sand.

When Wang Tainian saw this stone pillar, he was overjoyed, it must be the bluestone pillar that Fu Wudian said, and shouted: "Professor Fu, Lao Fan, come here and take a look, what is on it?"

Fu Wudian walked over first, leaned over, his eyes were shining, a little trembling, touching the pyramid-shaped metal block, as well as the round metal ring, and said: "Finally let me find it, it turns out that there is no error in the book, there is really this bluestone pillar." Fu Wudian held the metal ring and said to Lao Fan beside him: "Lao Fan, help me, first turn three times to the right, then two turns to the left, and then turn one circle to the right, come, hit the handle!" ”

When Lao Fan saw Fu Wudian say this, he held the metal ring together, and rotated it together with Fu Wudian's efforts. With the rotation of the right three circles, the left two circles, and the right circle, the metal ring really moved slowly, shaking off the dust and sand that had been sealed for a long time, and the stone pillar shook with a bang.

Seeing this, Fu Wudian said: "Be careful! This pillar may be going up, let's stand back! He motioned for Lao Fan and Wang Tainian to take a step back.

At this time, Xiao Zhang was also surprised when he saw this, and asked, "Professor Fu, it's so mysterious." There is also a mechanism on a bluestone pillar, and what is even more strange is why there are four iron chains entangled. ”

Wang Tainian was also curious, and said, "What Xiao Zhang said is right. Could it be some kind of mechanism, this chain is a bit strange and puzzling. ”

Fu Wudian pursed his dry lips, lifted his glasses, looked at Wang Tainian, Lao Fan, Xiao Zhang and others, and said, "Yes, yes." My profile shows that this bluestone pillar has some mechanism. You see, the pyramid metal and the round metal ring at the top are said to represent a symbol of civilization. And the contents are the ruins they left behind, there should be a machine or some other equipment or something, but I don't quite understand that it is unlikely that ancient people could have built machines and equipment or something. This is not recorded in the literature, and we can only see what it is when we go down. ”

As the stone pillar rises, the sound of the iron chain is faintly heard, and it is endless, it turns out that the iron chain is intertwined with each other on this bluestone pillar. Wang Tainian asked curiously: "These four iron chains seem to bind this stone pillar, do they play a fixed role?" ”

Fu Wudian smiled slightly: "Legend has it that the dragon lock tied up this stone pillar, and this stone pillar was sealed. ”

"Is this a mythical story, and a dragon lock, haha. Professor Fu, it's time for us to tell you this story. Xiao Zhang tilted his head this time and looked at Fu Wudian with a smile.

Wang Tainian's expression became serious, and he said, "Xiao Zhang, this is different from the stories you told. This is the site that the research institute has named to explore, and it is not a mythical story! It's about to get to work, so put away your story for now. Listen carefully to what Professor Fu has to say. ”

Fu Wudian stood up straight and looked at everyone: "This should be an instrument related to the quantum laser weapon project, but many years ago, our technology was not up to it at all, and we couldn't conduct research, so I heard that the organization was sealed, leaving only a few words as clues." Isn't the country now preparing to engage in scientific research in this area, and several other major countries are also starting to conduct pre-research, so we have to hurry up and see. ”

Lao Fan said: "Professor, what kind of organization is the organization you just said?" Is it a foreign organization, do they have such good intentions? ”

Fu Wudian said: "It's a mysterious organization, this is a high degree of national secret, I don't know the specifics, there is a special agency in the Seventh Bureau of National Security in Beijing, I am only responsible for opening the ruins and taking out the instruments inside for research, and we shouldn't ask about the rest, so we don't need to ask more." Right. ”

Of course, Wang Tainian knew that this was a state secret, and he knew a little bit about it, and the specific details were not very clear. Since Fu Wudian said this, he must also make a statement and say, "What Professor Fu said is right! We don't care about what we shouldn't care, and we don't ask what we shouldn't ask. We only do what we are asked to do! ”

When the bluestone pillar slowly rose about one meter high with the sound of the iron chain crashing, only the sound of clanging was heard, and a circular hole was cracked behind the stone pillar, and I don't know whether it was dust or sand on it, which permeated the cave entrance.

"Do you want to prepare guys, is there a big snake down there?" Xiao Zhang asked cautiously.

"How far have we traveled in this desert? At this time, there can be no snakes in this place, don't be afraid. Let's go in, Xiao Zhang will go last and open up the trailer! Wang Tainian waved his hand and commanded everyone.

Fu Wudian didn't think twice, he was the first to bend down, put his foot in first, and went to the cave first. Unexpectedly, after passing the entrance of the cave, there was a slope with steps below. Lao Fan stretched out a strong flashlight and followed Fu Wudian down.

After everyone cautiously entered, they found that there was really a hole inside. The iron chain under the stone pillar is really like a coiling dragon, wrapping around the stone pillar until the bottom. The cave is a bit empty, with a circular dome structure above, and a dilapidated metal device on the central round platform, which does not look like an ancient artifact.

"Professor Fu, this doesn't look like a ruin, right? Looking at this structure, that is, the events of previous years, it is at least certain that it is not left over from ancient times. Lao Fan asked puzzled.

"Exactly, it shouldn't be more than thirty years, let's call it a ruin." Fu Wudian replied.

"Look, there's something on the middle table!" Everyone looked at the middle along Xiao Zhang's cry and the light from the flashlight, and sure enough, there was a thing covered by a torn oilcloth on the round platform in the middle, about one meter square. Everyone is curious about what is under this tarpaulin.

Fu Wudian walked to the round platform at this time, and when he was about to untie the oilcloth, Xiao Zhang shouted: "Professor, you open it directly with your hands like this, beware of the mechanism." ”

"It's okay, there's no mechanism." After speaking, I saw Fu Wudian lift the torn oilcloth on it, revealing a silver metal instrument. This instrument is also too strange-looking, although it is covered with dust, you can still vaguely see the double-sided metal mirror on the instrument. Blow off the dust, get close to the torch and take a closer look, the surface of the device still glows with a little shine.

Fu Wudian saw that the two teammates were about to come forward and drag, so he immediately stopped: "Don't go to the front of this mirror, don't stand on the front!" Move to the side. ”

Everyone dragged the trailer in, and they all carefully and laboriously pried the metal equipment onto the trailer. When everyone dragged the equipment to the entrance of the cave, they saw that the metal mirror on the equipment emitted a pale yellow light. Just when everyone was surprised, the pale yellow gradually dissipated. When you look closely, there is a small button mark engraved on the mirror, which is very eye-catching, and it feels like a button has been cut off from above.
