As soon as Ye Zhiqiu spoke, the whole room suddenly fell into a long silence, I looked at her with my mouth open, and the reactions of Gongjue and Tian Ji were the same as mine.

NASA ......

We're just a bunch of tomb robbers, and we can't touch the United States, let alone any space agency, and that place shouldn't have anything to do with us in our lives if it's normal.

"She's right, the source of the news is indeed NASA." Xue Xinrou nodded and looked at us calmly.

"Who the hell are you?" For NASA, Ye Zhiqiu seems to care more about Xue Xinrou's identity.

"I'm a researcher in Chinese history at the Graduate School of Archaeology at Harvard University." Xue Xinrou is still polite.

Counting Xue Xinrou and Ye Zhiqiu are still peers, Ye Zhiqiu was a little surprised, probably didn't understand how could an archaeological researcher from a first-class foreign university be with us, she still wanted to continue to ask, and was pressed on the chair by me.

"If you want to stay, you have to talk about it until we get things clear."

"Xue Xinrou, don't pay attention to her, continue to say, how could your grandfather have anything to do with some space agency?" Tian Ji asked eagerly.

We all sat down, I went to pour her a glass of water, Xue Xinrou held the glass of water and was silent for a moment, and then talked eloquently.

Xue Xinrou's grandfather was called Xue Shuqiao, and before liberation, he was a well-known archaeologist in the history department of Nankai University......

"Xue Shuqiao is your grandfather?!" Ye Zhiqiu stood up from his chair in surprise.

"Do you know my grandfather?" Xue Xinrouting asked curiously.

"How can you not recognize...... In fact, I know him, but Xue Lao definitely doesn't know me. Ye Zhiqiu's expression was very excited. I also graduated from Nankai, who doesn't know Xue Lao, who studied archaeology, he is still my teacher Wen Ru's teacher, I have always heard him mention Xue Lao, saying that Xue Lao was the top figure in domestic archaeology. ”

"It's endless." I pulled Ye Zhiqiu back into the chair. "Listen to you, or listen to Xue Xinrou talk about business."

Ye Zhiqiu pouted and said reluctantly, Xue Xinrou continued, Xue Shuqiao came to the United States before liberation, Xue Xinrou heard and saw around him since he was a child, and he was extremely interested in archaeology, and Xue Shuqiao also mentioned that Xue Xinrou benefited a lot from archaeology.

Later, Xue Shuqiao returned to China after receiving the letter, and when he was sent back again, he was already delirious, and Xue Xinrou kept trying to figure out what happened to his grandfather when he went to China, but there was no progress.

By chance, when Xue Xinrou was sorting out the materials and documents left by her grandfather, she found a notebook hidden by Xue Shuqiao, in which Xue Xinrou saw the pattern of the feather dragon for the first time, and knew that her grandfather had been exploring an incredible legend all along.

"Moon Palace Nine Dragon Boat!" The palace lord blurted out.

"You know the ship, too?" Xue Xinrou looked at us in surprise.

"What's the boat? What else is there that I don't know? Ye Zhiqiu asked anxiously.

"Shut up." I was afraid that Ye Zhiqiu would interrupt again and said to Xue Xinrou. "You go on."

Xue Xinrou picked up the water glass and hovered it over her mouth, and continued to say unhurriedly, at the beginning, Xue Xinrou was shocked, after all, the Moon Palace Nine Dragon Boat was too bizarre and mysterious for her to study archaeology, and at the same time, the credibility was not high, but Xue Shuqiao's notes clearly recorded that he had spent almost his entire life trying to prove the existence of the Moon Palace Nine Dragon Boat.

Xue Xinrou remembered the letter that Xue Shuqiao left before leaving, in the letter she saw the pattern of the feather dragon again, which was the symbol of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, and Xue Xinrou believed that her grandfather's return to China was related to the mysterious treasure ship.

But what he never expected was that Xue Shuqiao was delirious after returning from China, and he couldn't remember everything, Xue Xinrou realized that his grandfather's mental disorder was probably related to the Moon Palace Nine Dragon Boat, and it was also from that time that Xue Xinrou began to explore the legendary Moon Palace Nine Dragon Boat with the help of the research notes left by his grandfather.

But there is very little content recorded in the notes, and most of them are impossible to verify, Xue Xinrou's research has hardly made any progress, as the research on the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace has reached an impasse and predicament, gradually Xue Xinrou also began to waver, questioning that what he has been researching and looking for is just an ethereal legend.

The only thing that can support Xue Xinrou to persist is not faith, but when she was ten years old, one day Xue Shuqiao, who had been confused and mentally disordered, suddenly woke up, he could remember everything before returning to China, but he couldn't remember anything about what happened later, but Xue Shuqiao was extremely excited and repeated three words in his mouth.

Got it......

Xue Xinrou didn't understand and understand the meaning of these three words until a long time, and she deduced that her grandfather might have really confirmed the existence of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, but unfortunately, Xue Shuqiao's sobriety was like a return to the light, and after only one day, he returned to his previous state of delirium, and from that day on, Xue Shuqiao's body deteriorated, and he passed away not long after.

Xue Xinrou later inherited the last wish of her grandfather Xue Shuqiao, and when she grew up, she engaged in Chinese historical and archaeological research, with the aim of confirming and finding the magical treasure ship.

"My father had just passed away a month before I returned home." Xue Xinrou's expression and voice became gloomy. "The reason I came back this time was also because of my father."

"No...... Isn't it your grandfather? How did you become your father again? I asked, confused.

"Shut up and listen to Xinju." Ye Zhiqiu should have listened attentively and kicked me below.

"If it weren't for my father, I might have given up my quest for the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace." Xue Xinrou took a sip and said quietly.

Three generations of the Xue family are engaged in archaeological research, Xue Xinrou's mother died early, his father was a famous archaeological expert, busy with work, and was raised by his grandmother from childhood to adulthood, because his father was obsessed with archaeology and cared little about Xue Xinrou, so the father and daughter were emotionally indifferent, and Xue Xinrou was like a passerby to his father.

Except for at the funeral of her grandfather and grandmother, she has never seen her father, and she doesn't even know where he is, she received a call from the hospital a month ago, and saw her father who was dying of advanced liver cancer in the ward, which made Xue Xinrou puzzled that there were soldiers guarding her father's ward.

Xue Xinrou thought it was her father's remorse for her debt when she was confused, that was her only relative in the world, Xue Xinrou accepted her father's apology with grief and indignation, who knew what her father told her at the end, which shocked her.

His father told Xue Xinrou that in the 50s, the Red Dynasty began to build a large-scale test base in the northwest, and the CIA quickly realized what secrets should be hidden behind this, and sent U2 reconnaissance aircraft to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance in the area, and finally figured out the purpose of these large-scale test bases, the Red Dynasty's atomic bomb test base, which was later released to the public as a secret project codenamed 596.

In order to pay close attention to the progress and results of the 596 project and strengthen reconnaissance of the area, the U2 reconnaissance plane that can be dispatched has been intercepted and crashed many times, so the CIA has requested assistance from NASA, and the space agency's near-geostationary orbit satellite has carried out all-weather monitoring of the area, codenamed the Iris program.

On October 16, 1964, the Red Dynasty successfully exploded its first atomic bomb at Lop Nur.

"It's no secret anymore, who doesn't know these things now, and what satellites do you need to send to see this?" Tian Ji has been a soldier, so he should be very familiar with this history, and he looks proud.

"Project 596 has already been announced, but at that time it was top secret, few people knew about it, if it was a single nuclear explosion test, its significance was just a contest of strength between countries, but what happened later shocked the high-level people involved in the Iris Project." Xue Xinrou shook her head and her voice was grim.

"What else is going on?" The palace lord asked eagerly.

"It is estimated that the first atomic bomb of the Red Dynasty used an implosion uranium bomb with a yield of 22,000 tons of TNT, but half an hour after the successful nuclear explosion, the CIA intercepted the Soviet Union's message from the Siberian observatory, and the explosion yield of the nuclear explosion was equivalent to a 4.9-magnitude earthquake, but the range of the earthquake was only less than two kilometers."

"......," Tian Ji opened his mouth in surprise. The explosion of 22,000 tons of TNT-equivalent had a range of less than two kilometers, which ...... It's impossible. ”

"This is the intercepted message and seismic monitoring drawings at that time, and the most bizarre thing is that with the center of the nuclear explosion as the site, the shock wave was perfectly controlled within two kilometers." Xue Xinrou took out a drawing from her bag and put it in front of us, it was a monitoring map of seismic waves, and we saw a regular circle on it.

"I didn't expect our country's military strength to be so developed twenty years ago." Tian Ji looked proud and excited. "Not only did it successfully test the atomic bomb, but it was also able to accurately control the scope of the explosion."

"No!" Xue Xinrou shook her head slowly and put a few photos in her hand on the table. "There is something that tightly imprisons the blast shock wave of 22,000 tons of TNT equivalent within a range of two kilometers!"

Tian Ji opened his mouth dumbfounded, he should understand what Xue Xinrou's words meant, it is difficult for us to understand the reason for Tian Ji's shock from these numbers, but when I slowly opened the photos on the table, in addition to Xue Xinrou's calmness and Ye Zhiqiu's confusion, Gong Jue and Tian Ji and I slowly stood up from the chair with our mouths open in shock.
