Huang Shanbao found thirteen large and small boxes inside the skull, but he was not in danger.

Later, almost the entire archaeological team went down to it in batches - Wen Mushan and Fei Tang were investigating, and the others were hoisting the boxes out in shifts.

In addition to the chest, there were some decayed wooden planks and sticks left, which Wen Mushan deduced should be scaffolding left over from the time when craftsmen worked inside.

No other things were found in the skull, and Fei Tang wanted to chisel a bone back for research, but he found that it was harder than stone.

"It's already fossilized." Wen Mushan touched the smooth and white skull and said, "This may be a giant from 10,000 years ago." ”

"Impossible," Fei Tang shook his head and said, "Human geology and archaeology have developed for so many years, and there has never been a giant fossil larger than a dinosaur. ”

"But there are many legends about giants in both the East and the West, and there are records about giants in the Four Books and Five Classics." Wen Mushan continued to get busy.

Huang Shanbao felt that Wen Mushan didn't want to argue too much, he seemed to be quite obsessed with the skull, he went down to the empty skull almost all day long, and used a shovel to clean up the empty skull space little by little. And in the evening, he got together with Fei Tang and picked up the lamp to translate the ancient book of rope piercing that he had found.

"Professor Wen, you don't study the cultural relics in the box, what are you doing digging up this empty shell?" Huang Shanbao asked him.

At that time, Huang Shanbao was not curious, he just wanted to know if there were other treasures hidden in this skull.

"This big skull is the real artifact." Wen Mushan stopped and said to him, "Thinking about the existence of giants more than 100 meters in this world, this is simply a discovery that subverts history." ”

"Didn't you say it was written in the book?"

Wen Mushan smiled, he sat in the sludge, looked at Huang Shanbao, and began to chat with him concisely.

What happened later was so tragic that Huang Shanbao never wanted to recall it again, but he still remembers the conversation with Professor Wen.

"Xiao Huang, let me ask you a question, where do you say we are from?"

"From the village of Yatul."

Wen Mushan smiled: "I mean, where do we humans come from?" ”

"Of course it's the monkeys."

"The theory of human evolution is a hypothesis, not a 100% sure truth. Have you ever heard of 'reproductive isolation'? It is the mating of animals between two different species, it is impossible to produce offspring, and even if offspring are born, the offspring cannot reproduce again.

"Just as a horse and a donkey can mate to produce a mule, but a mule cannot give birth to a mule. We humans have this kind of isolation from any kind of orangutan, ape, or monkey. ”

"Are you saying that we are different species from apes? But the book says that there were not many apes in the past? Aren't they our ancestors? ”

"They weren't, our ancestors were called Homo sapiens. A few years ago, some people in Europe have studied that the genes of existing humans are not the same as those of ape-man, but the same as the fossils of some ancient people in Africa. So, now there is a theory that Homo sapiens originated in Africa and later moved out of Africa and migrated all over the world.

"Don't be so surprised, in ancient times, the continents were connected, and it wasn't that difficult for them to move. As for the ape-men, they were once the enemies of Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens were not physically more powerful than them, but they were all wiped out by Homo sapiens, do you know why? ”

"Why?"

Wen Tingxu pointed to his braincase: "Because Homo sapiens have a large brain capacity and are very intelligent, they can't fight apes physically, but they crush them intellectually - dinosaurs and elephants are all huge animals, but in the end, it was Homo sapiens who ruled the world, relying on two and a half catties of brains in the skull." ”

"Homo sapiens has developed so far, and it has been amazing. We can figure out a lot of things, we can go to heaven and we can go to earth, but we just don't know where we come from - but if you look at this giant, does his skull look like ours? ”

"Pretty much the same."

"From the outside, his facial features are very similar to those of a human. But from the inside, you come here. ”

Wen Mushan turned on the flashlight, walked in the direction of the skull, and then showed it to Huang Shanbao.

"The back of their head is a third larger than ours, so how big do you think his brain is?"

"Extraordinarily large?"

"Yes, I carefully measured and estimated that the brain capacity of this giant is more than fifteen thousand times that of us humans. If brain size determines intelligence, how smart do you think they have to be? ”

"Exceptional...... Clever? ”

"Yes, the computing power of the human brain has been improved at a geometric level. From this point of view, their brains may be hundreds of millions of times more capable of cognition, memory and analysis than ours, and they are simply superhuman in relative terms, or in other words, they are omniscient and all-powerful gods relative to humans. ”

"Is this really the braincase of a god?" Huang Shanbao also turned on the flashlight, he stood in the dome of the skull and looked up, sighing with Wen Mushan the insignificance of human beings.

However, when he crawls out of his skull and sees the sun, the desert, the oasis, and the ancient city, he returns to reality.

He was originally entrusted by the migrant workers to come to Wen Mushan to discuss things.

But when he was fooled by Wen Mushan, he actually forgot about the business.

However, he actually already had an idea in his heart, because for a professor like Wen Mushan, who only studies the dead and does not understand the living, the proposal of the migrant workers will definitely face the result of rejection.

So let's not talk about it.

He rounded the walls and returned to the excavation site of the royal palace in the city, where Fetang took Wang Tuda to the Calvary House again, and the others waited for him eagerly.

"How? What did Professor Wen say? ”

Huang Shanbao shook his head: "Of course not, he said that those gold, silver and jewelry belong to the state, and we have no right to divide them privately." ”

Lu Jiefang was angry, he was always very easy to get irritable lately.

"Damn, we are so powerful, what can we do if we divide him?"

Wu Wanchun glared at him: "That's embezzlement of public property!" When the time comes, when he returns to Yecheng, as soon as he reports to the state, we will all be arrested and imprisoned. ”

"Lao Tzu and his gang worked hard, working in this desert day and night for more than a month, and finally only got a little dead salary?!" Wang Yuanqing shouted angrily.

"Yes, there was a big sandstorm, and it was buried, and no one found the bones for decades! What's wrong with the Equinox Baby?!

"Besides, it's not all divided. God knows, others don't know, what can happen to this?! Why should they disagree! I want to smash his head with a shovel! Zhang Suozhu also coaxed.
