Jonathan finally got to the heart of the matter, and everyone was silent at the moment, listening intently to what he was going to say next.

Jonathan got up from the fireplace and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, staring out the window with his back hand, the glass reflected his chubby figure and the appearance of everyone in the room, and a Milky Way that fell into the darkness across these illusory floating shadows, he said slowly: "These three things found in the underwater pyramid of Bermuda in 1980 shocked the American authorities, and the authorities ordered the discovery to be classified as top secret and sealed up, and at the same time summoned experts from all over the United States to Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida, Specializes in these three things that Nicholas fished. ”

"We've been studying hexahedral crystals, trident spears, and black Erlenmeyer flasks for a month at the airbase, and we have no idea what they're really used for, except that they're 16,000 years old, and they're more detailed and difficult than we know. In order to solve the mystery of the origin of these objects, we asked the US authorities for greater support, and the government agreed to this suggestion, and in early 1981 officially launched a research project called the 'Poseidon Project', which was named after the legendary goddess of Atlantis, the god of the sea, Poseidon, and Nicholas was chosen as the leader of this research project, and I and many scientific elites in the United States at that time participated in it, which is later known as the 'Poseidon Project'. ”

Jonathan turned around and said to everyone: "This 'Poseidon Project' is the world's most expensive, time-consuming and most strict scientific research project, the entire research project began in 1981, the time span is 30 years, and there are as many as 4,000 scholars who have participated in related research, the purpose is to understand the mystery of human prehistoric civilization by studying the remnants of prehistoric civilization salvaged from the bottom of Bermuda. ”

"The whole 'Poseidon Project' can be roughly divided into three phases: the first phase was from 1981 to 1995, the entire research work was limited to American nationals, the research base was also located in the United States, and the project was led by Nicholas Sid. At this stage, we discovered for the first time the functionality of hexahedral crystals and black Erlenmeyer flasks. Among them, the hexahedral crystal is a huge energy carrier, which can absorb all kinds of energy such as light energy, heat energy, kinetic energy, etc., and store it, we believe that this is the energy crystal of the Atlantean civilization recorded by Plato - 'Magnetite'. Even more amazing is the black Erlenmeyer flasks, which are so hard that even the hardest diamonds can't cut them, and they're made of a material we've never seen before, similar to an alloy. In 1990, we accidentally opened a bottle through a change in the spectrum, and the contents shocked everyone at that time, the entire inner wall of the bottle was embedded with something like insect eggs, and these eggs did not contain larvae, but the DNA of some kind of life! ”

Some people in the crowd couldn't help but lose their voices, and Bobby, who was lying on the ground, also snorted, and the atmosphere seemed a little terrifying.

"At that time, we realized that these black Erlenmeyer flasks are used to store biological genes, and the biological species stored in them can be re-cultivated and multiplied through genetic technology under the right opportunity and environment!" Jonathan paused and said: "Our modern civilization did not fully master the technology of gene cloning and cultivation until 1996, which makes it unbelievable to all of us. Has our human civilization progressed or regressed? ”

"As we deepened our research, we became more and more in awe of this prehistoric civilization, and we considered that the hexahedral crystal and the black Erlenmeyer flask, one is a huge energy source, and the other is a gene preserver of unknown creatures, and further research will bring risks to the United States, so we proposed to the U.S. government in 1990 to build another base outside the United States for the 'Poseidon Project' research and use. The authorities quickly agreed to our request, and in order to ensure that the research work proceeded smoothly and without being noticed, the new base was located on the coast of the Antarctic continent at Cape Adair, near the location of the U.S. Antarctic research station. The construction of this new base began in 1991 and was completed in 1995, with a total investment of trillions of dollars, equipped with the most advanced instruments and equipment in the world at that time, and was named "Poseidon Laboratory" by the government, which is the meaning of the research site of the "Poseidon Project". It took us a whole year to transfer all the research results from the former Nevada laboratory to this research base in Antarctica, and in 1996, the Poseidon Laboratory officially opened its operation, marking the second phase of the Poseidon Project. From this stage onwards, in order to accelerate the research of prehistoric civilizations, Nicholas and I began to invite scientific elites from all over the world to join the 'Poseidon Project'. In the decade from 1996 to 2007, thanks to the support of talents, funds and facilities, the research work of the black Erlenmeyer flask in charge of my office began to make rapid progress, and we used the DNA material extracted from the black Erlenmeyer flask to cultivate a variety of never-before-seen organisms in the 'Poseidon Laboratory', including fish, mollusks and reptiles that were extinct millions of years ago; There are also creatures that are so strange that they are incomprehensible, most of these creatures have a mixture of human and animal traits, such as strangely looking and huge mermaids, sphinx-faced monsters, and human-bird-winged monsters...... There is no trace of these creatures in the entire history of biology, but they seem to be mythical creatures. ”

"On the other hand, Nicholas's research on magnetite has been progressing slowly, and the principle of magnetolite energy storage has not been solved, Nicholas is very troubled by this problem, because of his age, his health is still deteriorating, and in 1999, he can no longer continue to work due to cerebral infarction, so he handed over the research of magnetolite to his son, who is now Dr. Thomas Alvar Sid, and I have since succeeded Nicholas as officially becoming." The leader of Project Poseidon, and he died of a stroke in 2002 shortly after. Jonathan sighed.

"After that, I started to coordinate the 'Poseidon Project', and it was at that time that Linda and Li Dong participated in the project, they were my Ph.D. students at the University of Pennsylvania in 2003 and 2004, both of them were very talented and hardworking, and they helped me solve a lot of problems, and among the many students I have led, they are the two most likely to achieve extraordinary achievements." Jonathan said and unconsciously looked towards the bookshelf on the side of the living room, there was a black picture frame on the bookshelf, inside was a group photo of Jonathan and a group of students in doctoral uniforms, they were standing on a shady lawn, among the students was a long, jade, delicate Asian man, Lin Fan recognized that it was Professor Li Dong in his youth, and next to him was a tall blonde girl with a warm smile, it was Professor Linda Dennis in his youth. Jonathan stared at the photo with an indescribable bitterness, and Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Jonathan continued, "They helped me with the work of cultivating prehistoric creatures in the black gene tank, freeing me up to devote more of my energy to the study of magnetolite. At that time, I was more likely to provide advice and ideas, and it was Thomas who was actually responsible for the analysis and testing of magnetite, and he worked very hard for his father's unfinished business, and dared to try all kinds of methods, but despite this, we still failed to understand the principle of magnetite. Later, I began to try to start from the ancient books of various civilizations, trying to see if there were any records of the Atlantean civilization and the Magnetolite, and finally, I found clues in Greek mythology......"

"Greek mythology?" Everyone wondered.

"Yes" Jonathan nodded, "Ancient Greece is the origin of European civilization, it has its own independent and rich mythological system like Sumer, ancient Egypt, ancient India, and Chinese civilization, although these myths and legends are not necessarily true, but often have a certain basis in reality, just like "Homer's epic", many people thought it was a legend made up by the ancients, until the archaeological community excavated the ruins of the ancient city of Troy in Turkey in the last century, and only recognized it as a real historical book. And Plato's original inference about the existence of Atlantis was also inspired by the historical legends of ancient Greece, so why can't we find the answer in ancient Greek mythology? So I read through the myths and legends of ancient Greece, and finally found this account: Poseidon, the god of the sea, had a weapon capable of causing storms and tsunamis, sinking continents, and shattering the heavens and the earth, and he used this weapon to protect the kingdom bestowed upon him by the gods, and that there was one of the most precious treasures in the world, a great gem, which shone brightly and possessed an inextinguishable light that could compete with the sun. ”

"In Greek mythology, the kingdom of Poseidon is called Atlantis, and the weapon that can set off huge waves and turn heaven and earth upside down is his trident spear and the gem that emits an inextinguishable light, all of which are not very similar to the trident spears and magnetos we found at the bottom of the sea in Bermuda?"

Everyone didn't dare to breathe when they heard it, and the answer seemed to be close at hand.

"So, I came up with a hypothesis." Jonathan took off his glasses and said, "The trident spear we fished up at the bottom of the sea in Bermuda may not be a simple ancient bronze, it may have a specific function like magnetite and black Erlenmeyer flask......"

Jonathan suddenly stopped when he said this, and Xue Panru couldn't help urging: "What is the function?" Tell us about it~"

"I'm sorry, I'm distracted." Jonathan said apologetically, Lin Fan saw that his face looked very solemn at the moment, "So, I proposed to put the trident spear and the magnet stone together to study, sure enough, the research of the magnet stone quickly progressed, and we found that as long as the trident spear and the magneto stone got close, there would be a violent energy reaction." We speculated that the Trident Spear might be the 'key' to the transmission of magnetite energy, and we were so excited that we thought we would soon be able to unlock the secret of magnetoite energy transmission, but the unexpected happened......" Jonathan said, the corners of his mouth began to tremble.

"In 2007, when we were experimenting with magnetite and trident spears, due to the accidental induction of magnetite energy, a huge explosion occurred in the laboratory, and a huge hole was blown out of the entire research base. This accident ruined the research results of the 'Poseidon Project', the prehistoric creatures cultivated in the laboratory were gone, the black Erlenmeyer flask and the magnetite were gone, and only the Trident spear remained, which was the only thing left in the cavity created by the Big Bang......" Jonathan's eyes were closed after he finished speaking, his expression was dejected, and everyone was silent, everyone could understand Jonathan's mood at the moment.

Jonathan continued: "I am fully responsible for the accident because of my mistakes, which resulted in the deaths of my friends, colleagues and many other outstanding scholars, and the damage to my research project. Soon after the accident, I resigned, handing over the responsibility of leading the way to Thomas, and I returned to teach at Penn, and from then on, I stopped asking about the Poseidon Project, and I also cut off contact with my former colleagues and people related to the Poseidon Project. Jonathan glanced at the group photo on the bookshelf, his face was tired, and he was no longer the same crane hair and childish face as before.

After hearing this, the crowd was silent for a long time.

After half a ring, it was Ji Yutong who spoke first: "Doctor, is that Trident spear still in the Antarctic base?" ”

"Hmm." Jonathan nodded.

Ji Yutong asked: "Dr. Sid later found the magnetite and the blown up part of the laboratory in the sea, what is the reason for this?" ”

"Magnetite and the core laboratory did not blow up but appeared in the sea, and there is only one explanation, that is, the energy released by magnetoite distorted space, causing the annihilation and conduction of matter."

"Annihilation and conduction?" Except for Ji Yutong, everyone else was confused.

Jonathan said: "It means that the energy of the explosion of magnetoite not only causes part of the matter to be completely decomposed, but also conducts part of the matter to another dimension, which is the meaning of teleportation. ”

"Huh? How is this possible? Chen Bo, Xue Panru, and Wu Lingling shouted.

"Too much energy will distort space, and distorted space will make the existence of matter uncertain, like a wormhole." Jonathan explained.

After listening to this, everyone still seemed to understand.

Lin Fan then asked, "Dr. Jonathan, I also have a question, we once encountered a red dragon and some non-human creatures with monkey face masks in the South Pacific, they took away the magnetoite, do you know their origin?" ”

"What did you say?!" Jonathan stared at Lin Fan with wide eyes.

"Lin Fan, you tell the doctor the whole story!" Xue Panru and Chen Bo reminded on the side, so Lin Fan told Jonathan about the red dragon, the monkey-faced weird man, and the red-clothed goddess they had encountered at sea in the past few months.

Jonathan was shocked when he heard this, and said, "This is incredible, the dragon you are talking about was not bred by us from the black Erlenmeyer flask, and I have never heard of those weirdos, etc!" Could it be ......" He suddenly got up and ran to the bookshelf on the side of the living room, and opened the books on it like crazy, and Poppy, who was lying on the ground, barked because of his actions, and finally Jonathan seemed to have found what he was looking for, he picked out a book that was not too thick, and took it to his front to look through it quickly.

After a long time, he suddenly exclaimed, "I found it!" ”

Everyone looked at him in a daze, not knowing what he found, only to see him come over with the book and put it in front of everyone, Ji Yutong shouted as soon as he saw the cover of the book: "Ah! This is Professor Li Dong's paper. Wu Lingling, Chen Bo and Xue Panru also reacted.

Lin Fan saw that the cover of the book read:

Ph.D. dissertation, University of Pennsylvania

Research Topic: Research on the Origin of Human Civilization

Author: Li Dong

Everyone was surprised and looked at Jonathan in bewilderment, and he opened the book as he said, "This is Li Dong's doctoral dissertation written in 2008, which contains the origin of the monkey face mask and the red dragon. I saw him turn the book to the chapter of "The Prehistoric Civilization of Human Disappearance", and said: "In the human civilization more than 10,000 years ago, not only the Atlantis line, in the legends of the ancient Indian, Mayan, Maori and Inca civilizations in the Pacific Rim, there is also a hidden such a prehistoric highly developed civilization, they are called masked gods, who have used advanced knowledge and technology to educate the ancients, they came from the waves, and disappeared under the waves, and the red dragon is their patron saint." ”

"Red Dragon!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"This civilization only exists in the legends of ancient civilizations, and like Atlantis, it died out as early as 10,000 years ago, and no clues have been found to prove its existence, we call it the Lemurian civilization."

"Doctor, are they the ones we saw?" Lin Fan hurriedly asked.

"I can't be sure, kid, but what you're seeing is beyond the current civilization on Earth can explain." Jonathan said.

"Wangwang——" Everyone's conversation was suddenly interrupted by Bobbi's barking, only to see the big fluffy dog running out of the living room while barking, and then there was a knock on the door outside the house, and the agents of the National Security Bureau, Ye Wei and Chen Ming, stood up, one strode out with Meteor, and the other said: "Everyone, Inspector Deng and Gu Please Newspaper Chief are here." ”
