[12] Burning pyramids
According to Chen Ming and Ye Wei, the last time satellites found traces of the red dragon was a few days ago in the southern Mediterranean, Athens is more than 700 kilometers away from the southern Mediterranean, Lin Fan and his ship set off from the port of Athens on the evening of September 2 and arrived in the southern Mediterranean Sea on September 3. After arriving at the target area, Deng Jinbo immediately ordered a cruise in the area and deployed reconnaissance equipment to find the whereabouts of the red dragon.
On this trip, Lin Fan and his activities were not as restricted as before, so as soon as the meal arrived that night, they went to the restaurant located on the lower deck of the ship to eat.
The restaurant has the size of a small auditorium that can accommodate dozens of people, and there is a floor-to-ceiling glass enclosed observation vent at the edge of the restaurant with a beautiful view of the sea. Most of the Chinese dishes served in the restaurant are basically available, such as mapo tofu, kung pao chicken, braised pork and other classic dishes.
Everyone was eating on the table next to the viewing entrance, Chen Bo and Xue Panru introduced the Chinese names of the dishes on the table to Jonathan's nephew Bill while eating, Bill is in Chinese, so the names of the dishes are very awkward and funny, causing everyone to laugh maniacally, and the atmosphere at the table is very lively.
During the meal, the first mate, Li Gang, asked Bill, "Bill, what is Dr. Jonathan doing?" Why don't you come down and eat together?. ”
"Oh, my uncle, he's in the room studying what Mr. Deng showed him."
"Mr. Deng? Do you mean Deng Jinbo? Lin Fan asked.
Bill said, "yes, that's him." He came to my uncle this morning to go to his office, and I went along, and he showed us a weird video and asked me if my uncle could understand what the people were saying. ”
"What kind of video?" Lin Fan, Chen Bo and Xue Panru said in unison.
"It's like a young man sleepwalking, and while sleepwalking, he keeps saying strange dream words, weird and scary......"
"It's Mao Fei!" Ji Yutong immediately reacted, "Do you understand what he said in his dream?" As soon as Ji Yutong reminded him, everyone also remembered what happened to Mao Feimeng, and they all immediately looked at Bill.
Bill scratched his head and said, "I don't understand~, as for my uncle, he doesn't seem to understand what it means, and he's still studying it." ”
Ji Yutong: "Then does Dr. Jonathan think those dream words are like some kind of language?" ”
"Hmm...... He thought it was a bit like Hindi, but he couldn't translate it. ”
"Ahh He was the same as I thought. Ji Yutong said.
"You know Hindi too?" Bill stared at Ji Yutong curiously.
"I know a little bit about it, I learned it when I was reading books." Ji Yutong said.
Lin Fan and the others looked at Ji Yutong incredulously, and Xue Pan looked like he was saying, "Wow! Ji Xueba, you're too exaggerated, you can learn a language by flipping through a book casually? ”
"Wow~ You're a genius!" Bill exclaimed, and Ji Yutong smiled a little embarrassed.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the restaurant, and the people around were pointing to the TV in the restaurant and discussing it, and everyone's attention was also attracted to it, only to see that such a news was being broadcast on the TV - "Egyptian pyramids were attacked by unknown elements"
"EURO NEWS latest report, a serious fire broke out in the early morning of September 3 at the Khufu Pyramid in Cairo, Egypt, the main tower of the Khufu Pyramid was seriously damaged, and the fire was extinguished on the morning of the 3rd, and no casualties were found at the scene before the report.
According to the Egyptian police, the fire in the Pyramid of Khufu was man-made, and there is evidence that unknown elements approached the pyramid that night and caused a fire, and the police have stepped up their investigation, and said that they do not rule out the possibility of a terrorist attack.
The international community expressed extreme concern over the attack on the pyramids, and the United Nations said in a statement: The Pyramid of Khufu is one of the eight wonders of the world today, and is a precious historical and cultural heritage of all mankind, and the people of the world will not tolerate any destruction of the pyramids, and the perpetrators of this incident will be punished! ”
Seeing the burning fire of the pyramid photographed on the news, Wu Lingling couldn't help but be indignant: "There is something wrong with these terrorists! Even cultural relics such as the Egyptian pyramids are destroyed! ”
"It's a pity~ I haven't been to the pyramids yet." Xue Panru said while eating.
"The Middle East and North Africa have always been not peaceful, there are many wars and terrorists, and when we used to go on ships, we had to explain the line to our families before we went." The first mate talked about his previous shipping business.
At this time, the Xicun antelope beside Lin Fan suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes, pointed to the TV and shouted, "Lin Fanjun, do you see if that light looks like us...... Seen at sea. ”
Lin Fan saw that a video that seemed to be taken before the pyramid caught fire was now being broadcast in the news, and a red light shone out from the ground at night and was at the top of the pyramid, and the top of the tower immediately ignited a raging fire, reflecting the entire night sky.
- Is it her?
Seeing that Lin Fan and Antelope looked different, everyone couldn't help but ask the reason, Lin Fan came back to his senses slightly and said, "I've seen that red light...... On that red dragon, the people who attacked the pyramid may have something to do with those people......"
Everyone was shocked, but Bill didn't know why, "What are you talking about?" What dragon? Who was the one who attacked the pyramids? ”
……
Late at night, Captain's Room
Lin Fan, Lingzi and the first mate came over to report to Deng Jinbo about today's attack on the pyramid.
"You want to go to Egypt?" Deng Jinbo was a little surprised when he heard that Lin Fan was going to the pyramid.
"Well, we'd like to go and have a look, and maybe we'll be able to find some clues." Lin Fan said.
"Lin, we can contact Interpol to learn about the relevant situation in this case, and we don't necessarily have to go to Egypt." Gu Yuliang, who was also in the captain's room, spoke.
"I've seen them attack Sid's fleet on the dragon, and it's the same red light at the time, I've seen it with Antelope, please trust me!" Lin Fan insisted.
"Classmate Lin, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that we're still looking for traces of the dragon in this area, and if we deviate from the route to Egypt, but we can't find any clues, it will be a bit worth the loss." Gu Yuliang explained.
"Brother Gu, these two children have been in close contact with those weirdos, they may be able to find some details that others can't notice when they go to the pyramid, and we are also thinking about solving the problem, do you think there is a way to do both?" First mate Li Gang answered.
Gu Yuliang looked at Deng Jinbo, wanting to see what he meant.
Deng Jinbo crossed his fingers in front of his chin, pondered for a while, and then said: "It's okay for the soldiers to be divided into two ways, Lao Gu, you stay here and continue to search for the whereabouts of the dragon, and I will go to the pyramid with Ye Wei and Chen Ming with them." ”
……
On September 4, the ship arrived at Alexandria, Egypt, where Lin Fan, Jonathan's uncle and nephew, Deng Jinbo and others disembarked and went to the Pyramid of Khufu, 200 kilometers away in the southwest of Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
It's a hot September day in Egypt, with outdoor temperatures of nearly 38 degrees Celsius, and everyone is wearing a thin white long-sleeved jacket, a sunhat and sunglasses to protect them from the heat and UV rays.
Everyone took a rented bus to the Pyramid of Khufu, the scenery along the way is the Gobi and the desert, there is little trace of cities and villages, the wind and sand have eroded this land to rubble and sand dunes everywhere, feeling lifeless, it is hard to imagine that this place has given birth to more than 5,000 years of human civilization.
Due to the poor refrigeration of the air conditioner of the rented bus, the car was a little hot, Lin Fan couldn't bear it and fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, "I see the pyramids!" The scream woke up Lin Fan in his sleep, he bounced up from his seat, only to see everyone looking out of the car window: under the clear blue skyline, there are three triangular pyramids rising in the yellow desert, which is the destination of their trip - the Giza pyramid group where the Pyramid of Khufu is located, the largest of the three pyramids in the middle is the Pyramid of Khufu, from a distance, the tower of the Pyramid of Khufu has scorched black traces, and the spire of the pyramid has also collapsed.
When they arrived near the pyramids, the caravans and caravans on the road gradually increased, and at the end of the road appeared a small town, this town was full of green trees, hotels, shops and residential areas, Lin Fan and his car stopped in a designated parking lot in the town, and everyone got out of the car and walked to the Pyramid of Khufu.
Due to the attack and damage to the Pyramid of Khufu, the entire pyramid area was cordoned off by the Egyptian police, and visitors can only visit the periphery of the pyramid group. Deng Jinbo sent Chen Ming to negotiate with the Egyptian police, hoping to enter the scene to check, and before the results of the negotiation came out, Lin Fan and his party were waiting at the entrance of the scenic spot.
Although they came to investigate the case, Xue Panru, Chen Bo, and Wu Lingling all held the mentality of playing, and began to take photos of various POSE outside the scenic spot, and even the Xicun antelope, who had always been silent, was amused by them.
"Come on, come on, Lin Fan, I'll help you and the antelope take a picture~" Chen Bo shouted to Lin Fan and the antelope.
"Antelope, let's take a picture together", "Hmm." Lin Fan and Lingzi then went to a stone staircase next to the scenic spot where they could see the pyramids behind them and prepared to take a group photo.
"Put on a loving pose~ Put your hand over! Or hug your waist," Xue Panru coaxed on the side.
Lin Fan was very embarrassed by Xue Fatzi, and didn't know how to pose well, but the antelope approached Lin Fan very generously, sticking to Lin Fan's shoulder and gently holding his arm, the wind blew the antelope's white tulle coat constantly towards Lin Fan, and there was a faint fragrance on the tulle.
"Okay~!" Chen Bo shouted and made an OK gesture.
After the shooting, Lin Fan went over to look at the photo, Chen Bo handed him the camera, and Lin Fan and the antelope in the photo both had a green and shy expression, but the two of them were dressed in white gauze against the background of the vast sand dunes and pyramids, and they looked particularly delicate and refined.
"How's it going, I'm okay with my skills, right?" Chen Bo said with a smile.
"Uh-huh, that's good." Lin Fan nodded wildly.
Lin Fanmei thought about the photo with Antelope just now, and walked to Jonathan, Ji Yutong and Bill without paying attention, and the three of them seemed to be discussing something.
Lin Fan vaguely heard Dr. Jonathan say: "At that time, we had a hypothesis that the Egyptian civilization might be the descendants of the Atlantean civilization, and they had a lot of knowledge beyond that era......
"Doctor, did you find any evidence?" Ji Yutong asked.
Bill preempted Dr. Jonathan and replied, "I know that the location of the pyramids in Egypt is based on astronomy, and all the pyramids along the Nile correspond to a map of the constellation Orion. ”
"That's just one point," Jonathan says, "because astrology flourished at that time, and ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon benefited from their astronomical prowess. Another little known is that when the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun was excavated in the last century, there were records of the eight planets of the solar system found on his tombstone, do you know that modern science only fully determined the existence of the eight planetary systems in the 17th century, and the Egyptians more than 5,000 years ago already knew the composition of the solar system, how incredible it is! ”
"Huh? Uncle, why haven't I heard about this? Bill exclaimed.
"That's because the archaeological community did not publish this information, first, the archaeological community at that time had a dispute about the translation of Egyptian hieroglyphs, believing that the pharaoh's tombstone did not necessarily say the eight planets of the solar system; Another point is that this information may have a certain impact on modern society, so it is not shared. Jonathan explained.
"Then why do you think that the Egyptian civilization is a descendant of the Atlantean civilization?" Ji Yutong asked.
"Because of this, of course." Jonathan pointed to the pyramid behind the sand dunes, "The pyramid we found at the bottom of Bermuda is more than 16,000 years old, it is a relic of the Atlantean civilization, and the Egyptian pyramid is more than 5,000 years old, which is not much different from its architectural structure and shape, what do you think is the relationship between the two?" ”
Ji Yutong and Bilton were dumbfounded, and Lin Fan was also shocked, and the three of them looked at the pyramid group behind them incredulously, which they had never thought of before.
Jonathan looked at the Giza pyramids and continued: "The structure of the pyramids is not simple, it is not built casually, the cutting of the boulders and the process of building them need to be very precise, such a complex architectural form can be reproduced across 10,000 years, and there must be a civilization inheritance in it." ”
Lin Fan looked at the magnificent pyramid, and seemed to feel the hidden secrets in it, these magnificent buildings, as if they were used by ancient ancestors to point out their distant sources to future generations, so mysterious, so connotative.
Just as they were looking at the pyramid and being distracted, Deng Jinbo came over and said to everyone: "Let's go, you can go to the scene." ”
