I thought that the girl would definitely agree to the request to go shopping. They were all ready to sacrifice two hours to accompany Yuqing to press the road, but they never expected to be rejected, to be honest, Lin Ye was surprised. Even if he was going to go shopping, he didn't want to go to the field archaeology.

First of all, in a planet with billions of people, full of colleges and universities, how many places with good geological conditions are there for people to excavate, which is a problem in itself. In his opinion, the reason why all the colleges of higher learning, including the School of Archaeology, are so crowded must have little to do with the pressure of survival within the Confederacy, in other words, they are idle.

Machines replaced the physical labor of the vast majority of people, and the entire Confederate government was ready to find something to do for the idle. It has led to the unprecedented prosperity of the teaching-oriented United Starry Sky. Perhaps the prosperity of the United Star was deliberate, preventing people from doing nothing to increase social unrest.

The base has been monitoring human society for a long time, and as a member of it, Ringer always thinks about problems with the greatest malice. Because he knew that from the beginning of his first step into space, the Gestapo who had taken the previous step was calculating his own kind. In addition, several major powers at that time were dissatisfied with each other, and there were infighting from time to time, so that the Gesta, which was not very powerful at that time, had enough time to dig holes for them.

"Then according to the principle of the big filter, the group of people in front of the Gestapo are also digging holes for the Gestapo." Ringer always felt that this starry sky was not simple, and it seemed that there were many players hidden in it.

"What are you muttering? As a student of the Faculty of Archaeology, I feel that love for our profession is a minimum of respect. Seeing Ringer's absent-minded demeanor, Yuqing said in a coquettish voice, "Come and try, the portable detector prepared for you." The age of the soil layer can be accurately detected, which is now a must-have. ”

Ringer now realizes that the non-wealthy class of archaeology cannot afford to play nowadays, and that every piece of archaeological equipment is worth a lot. Anyway, he just went out with the girl to play around, and Lin Ye didn't bring anything, just a long dagger that he had been using on his lap. In the end, most of the equipment that Yuqing carried was carried on his back.

The two of them got on the double automatic glider directly and set off, all the way to the north, reducing the scenery below or showing a primitive atmosphere, the forest is dense, and the birds and beasts are galloping. As on other planets, thanks to the efforts of environmental groups, humans try not to destroy the original ecology of these planets. However, in Ringer's eyes, this is clearly a handout from humanity as a ruling class, and if there is the potential to become intelligent beings, the Confederacy will definitely change its attitude.

A few hours later, the two arrived at a valley that was inaccessible and surrounded by a tree about three meters tall with a straight trunk but a small crown that looked very incongruous. It can be said that if the small canopy is removed, Ringer thinks that all such trees are dead.

The plant made Ringer pause for a moment, and compared to the various animals he had seen, he lacked knowledge of plants. Putting the glider aside for the time being, Yuqing, who was wearing sunglasses, walked in front and led Ringer deep into the valley.

The valley is very desolate, full of strange rocks, and there are many traces of knives and axes, and you don't need to think about it to know that this place was patronized by the School of Archaeology a long time ago, and maybe it was an important place to teach. I just don't know if it's still in use.

As if knowing Ringer's doubts, Yuqing explained in a timely manner, "I heard that this is the first batch of easy-to-dig geological layers discovered when humans first came to Union, but the excavation at that time was relatively rough, resulting in not excavating all the functions here, and the universe period of this planet should be about 100 million years earlier than the earth." ”

"A hundred million years earlier? These 100 million years have no effect, it stands to reason that the climate here is so stable, how can there be no intelligent creatures. "Ringer is a little strange, even if it is not easy for intelligent beings to appear, but after such a long time, there should be some progress.

The two chatted as they entered the interior of the valley, and Yuqing said that maybe they could see the fossils of the creatures left behind, even if they were destroyed because the excavation technology was not in place, it was a kind of harvest.

Nodding his head clearly, Ringer now feels more and more that archaeology in the space age is completely a rich man's profession. I don't have any capital at home, and I really can't afford to play. Come to think of it, archaeology is a hobby profession and you don't want to make any money at all. If the family is not wealthy, it really can't afford to support a student in the School of Archaeology.

Suddenly, Ringer hesitated for a moment, glanced back suspiciously, and scanned the mountains on either side. There is nothing in the breeze, and there is desolation everywhere you look.

"What's wrong?" Yuqing asked a little confused, really not understanding what happened to Ringer's sudden strange behavior.

"Nothing! The valley is quite quiet. Ringer grinned and replied, this smile was very kind, which made Yuqing's heart jump slightly, and her beautiful eyes stared at each other for a moment, and hurriedly looked away.

Yuqing didn't see that the moment she looked away, Ringer's smile disappeared, replaced by suspicion. The heart said, "Why do I always feel like I have a thorn in my back?" ”

There is no basis for such a thing as the sixth sense, or celestial sense, but almost everyone believes in this kind of warning, and the more conceited people believe, the more Ringer has always felt unstable since he came here.

Shaking off the strange thoughts in their hearts, the two of them continued to move forward, but as time went by, this feeling not only did not disappear, but became stronger and stronger, and they could even feel a real pressure on their backs. The further you go, the worse the road gets, and the ground is covered with rubble, apparently a geological layer that has been carved out of the left and right mountain walls.

On the cliff hundreds of meters away, the breeze blew through the corners of his clothes, and a man put down his binoculars and said secretly, "Isn't this observation a little too keen, I was originally on vacation on this planet, but it turned out to be a little hasty to take on the task?" Suspicion flashed, but the figure vanished.

On some stone chips, some traces of paleontology can indeed be seen, including animals and plants, but they are of little value. Ringer held Yuqing's arm and slowly moved forward, and his gentlemanly demeanor won the girl's favor.

The further they walked in, the more and more stone chips with paleontology appeared, and the two slowed down and squatted down to observe, maybe they could find relatively complete fossil traces, which was also worth the trip. It was at this moment that that feeling reappeared. Ringer's body tensed and instinctively looked around, his goshawk-like sharp gaze looking for the direction that was putting pressure on him. The involuntary movement of the tips of the left fingers, not far from the long dagger at the knee.
