Chapter 385: The 12th Place
In this vast Gobi, there have been too many mysterious stories, whether those stories are true or not, they have brought people infinite reverie. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
When the staff of the observatory pointed the source of radio radiation to Lop Nur on the map, everyone's breathing seemed to have stopped.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Lop Nur may be just the site of many sources of legends, but in the eyes of officials, it is undoubtedly the most sensitive region in China.
Therefore, the leaders of the observatory immediately reported the discovery to their superiors, and they did not expect that they would receive an immediate reply - asking them to submit all relevant materials and information to another department, a department that seemed to not exist at all, within twenty-four hours, the 101 Geological Research Institute.
Next, 101 took over, first determining the exact location coordinates of the sources of the radio radiation, and then rushing to these locations as fast as possible.
According to calculations, the observatory has found a total of 12 such sites, which are basically distributed within 150 kilometers around Lop Nur, and there seems to be no connection between the locations, but it is not easy to go to these 12 sites in the Gobi Desert.
According to Wang Lianba, they sent a total of 12 small detachments, and within 24 hours they had already arrived by helicopter at some locations that were relatively close to each other and had relatively simple natural conditions.
What they didn't expect was that there were very obvious landmarks on the first few sites discovered, and these landmarks were one of the miracles of the Gobi in Lop Nur - the Sun Tomb.
In fact, the Sun Tomb was not just discovered, as early as a few decades ago, the Sun Tomb has been tried by archaeologists to excavate and study, but later for some reason, the research work was forced to stop, and the Sun Tomb has been neglected since then. It became one of the unsolved cases on the Gobi Desert.
There are about a dozen sun tombs scattered in the Gobi of Lop Nur, some of which have been discovered, or some of which are still in more remote places. So not all of them have been found by humans.
This time, the personnel of the 101 Institute found that the six locations that emitted radio radiation found in advance were all the locations of the Sun Tomb, but three of these six locations had been marked by archaeological staff. The other three were discovered for the first time.
In the following time, they found 5 more locations successively, because the natural environment in the Lop Nur Gobi is very harsh, often encountering sudden weather changes, so some locations can not be reached by helicopter, can only rely on desert off-road vehicles, and even some places can not even be passed by cars, can only rely on people, which led to the discovery of other 5 locations. It was a full week of delays.
As they expected, these five locations, like the previous six locations, turned out to be the location of the Sun Tomb.
Moreover, the more remote the Sun Tomb, the larger its scale and the better the state of preservation, which amazed the researchers of the 101 Institute.
They were immediately ordered to carry out an investigation on the spot and to excavate the Sun Tomb at the site.
Because 101 specializes in the field of tomb research, their researchers quickly had the results of their investigation.
According to Wang Lianba, they were on the site of the 11 sun tombs they found. All of them have unearthed very precious artifacts, and the most unbelievable of them is that the same device has been found in 11 locations.
Wang Lianba can only use the word installation to define such cultural relics.
He explained. The shape of this device is somewhat like the Sinan used by people in the Warring States Period, in a round gold plate, there is a dagger that seems to be made of "meteorite iron", like Sinan, when someone turns the dagger, it will slowly stop. At first, the researchers thought that the direction of the tip of the knife should be south or north, but then they carefully measured and found that these devices similar to Sinan pointed in different directions.
According to Wang Lianba, this did not attract the attention of the researchers of the 101 Institute at first, and they only thought that this device similar to Sinan was just an ordinary sacrificial vessel that would exist in every sun tomb, just like the ever-bright lamp in the Han tomb, and perhaps in the Gobi Desert 3800 years ago, there was also a moving myth and legend, so this device is just a beautiful symbol, and the most likely explanation is to use it to guide the soul of the dead soul.
But then all of the individuals of 101 questioned it, believing that the presence of this device in each of the tombs must have a special meaning.
The man then compiled the information reported from each of the Sun Tombs, and found that all the devices on the 11 sites, each with the tip of a knife pointing in a different direction, came to a startling conclusion at once when he drew them on the map in a straight line.
The 11 locations, the 11 Sun Tombs, and the 11 daggers pointed in the direction they were all located in the 12th place.
Gao Chao and they all sighed that this person was really powerful, if it weren't for him, I am afraid that they would not be able to solve the mystery, but Wang Lianba smiled mysteriously and told them that they definitely had a chance to meet this person.
As they began to focus on the 12th location, they remembered that they should immediately contact the team that was going there, but they couldn't get any reply anyway.
At this time, almost two weeks had passed, and they had concluded from the analysis of the food supplies carried by the team that the personnel of that team were basically all killed.
Therefore, the experts of the 101st Institute agreed that this 12th site may be the key, and they found that this 12th site is on the central hinterland of this vast Gobi Desert, and the other 11 sites are basically around the 12th site, although they are not evenly distributed.
Since no one has been there yet, it is uncertain whether this 12th site is the same Sun Tomb.
However, it can be speculated that there should also be an ancient tomb on that site, but its location is really sensitive.
The location of the 12th site is undoubtedly pure no man's land, because it is the area about 100 kilometers west of Lop Nur, which is the forbidden area of life, the sea of death, and the location of the nuclear explosion test range.
This means that until now, it was still a military restricted area, and although the personnel of the 101 Institute were given special permission to enter the area, there were still too many dangers in that area.
Not to mention the harsh and abnormal natural environment, even the nuclear radiation contamination that still exists after the nuclear explosion can definitely kill anyone.
