Chapter 422: The Pisces Incident (3)
Hearing what Blind Liu said here, Captain Peng was very excited, and he asked Blind Liu to explain it to him immediately.
Blind Liu told Captain Peng that unless that thing was an important ancient tomb in the Gobi, because only very important ancient tombs would be placed according to the art of feng shui, so that they could be found through stargazing at night according to the principle of "heaven and stars".
Blind Liu's words made Captain Peng silent for a long time, and Blind Liu recalled that Captain Peng seemed to be very embarrassed, he nodded himself, shook his head again, and finally nodded again, as if he was doing his own ideological work, which made Blind Liu really feel that this Captain Peng seemed to be like what people said, and there was indeed something wrong.
It's just that in the end, Captain Peng seemed to convince himself, and finally told some extremely confidential things to Blind Liu.
According to Captain Peng, an ancient tomb was discovered in Sichuan before the liberation, and because it was a turbulent era and wars were raging all over China, no matter which side of the force was not very interested in such things.
Therefore, in order to protect this ancient tomb, local people of insight had to contact some foreign archaeologists, but they did not expect to get a reply from each other quickly, and an American private collection museum immediately sent people to Sichuan, China, and excavated the ancient tomb that year.
A Chinese expert was also involved in the excavation, and this person was none other than Captain Peng's teacher, Mr. Yu of Jinling University.
During the subsequent excavations, they found a large number of jade and bronze objects in the tomb, which made Mr. Yu very excited, and he even felt that this tomb was the most important discovery in the history of Chinese archaeology to date.
But in the excavations that followed, he found it stranger and stranger. Because the archaeologists who had come to China from the United States were not interested in the priceless jade and bronze objects, but when they found some round stone tablets with strange symbols, they finally showed great joy, as if they had finally found a treasure.
The entire excavation lasted about seven months, after the excavation was completed. It involves the question of what to do with the property in the ancient tomb.
Since the excavation of the ancient tomb was organized by the Americans at the expense of others, and no one in China paid attention to this matter at that time, the Americans naturally had priority ownership of the cultural relics found in the ancient tomb.
However, to Mr. Yu's happiness, but also incomprehensible, was that the Americans who participated in this operation only brought back to the United States those round stone chips engraved with strange symbols, while those precious jade and bronze objects were generously left in Sichuan by them.
When the Americans are gone. The more Mr. Yu thought about it, the more strange it became, so he paid for it himself, and found a lot of hard laborers from the local area, asking them to continue digging around the ancient tomb, hoping to find some more round stone chips, which he felt might have some more important meaning.
But after a month of digging, they couldn't find any more of them. But to Mr. Yu's surprise, they found something even more unbelievable.
That's a device, so to speak. It is housed in an ancient tomb a thousand meters away from the tomb and is very well preserved.
The volume of this device is not very large, it is the size of a sedan chair in ancient times, and the whole is presented as an upright cylindrical shape, and there are many horizontal gaps on the cylindrical surface. The gaps are about 50 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide, and they are distributed parallel to the entire cylinder, looking like an old-fashioned disc projector.
This undoubtedly aroused Mr. Yu's interest even more intensely, and he couldn't help but think of the round stone chips that the Americans had taken away. He had sketched the stone tablets in his notes, just the size to fit into the gaps in the cylindrical surface.
So he made a bold assumption that the round stone shards and the device must have been one, but stored separately around the tomb.
As for what this device is used for, Mr. Yu does not know, but he knows that the age of this device should be the same as the ancient tombs excavated before, existing 5000 to 3000 years ago, which has a surprising result, how could humans in that era have such a complex device?
Mr. Yu deeply felt the importance of this matter, which was likely to involve a series of unimaginable problems, and he even felt that the effect of this device could change the fate of the whole of China in the future.
And the facts turned out that his ideas were not illusory and unfounded.
Mr. Yu later hid the device in the basement of Jinling University, and only a few people knew anything about the device, including Mr. Yu's protégé, Captain Peng.
Therefore, after the liberation, when Mr. Yu passed away, he entrusted this device to Captain Peng, and asked him to hand it over to the state, and if conditions permitted, he hoped that he could continue his unfinished research work.
Since then, Captain Peng has made an oath that he must carry forward the unfinished career of his teacher, Mr. Yu.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and the cause in various fields is developing day by day, and the country attaches great importance to the training and development of scientific research personnel, so Captain Peng secretly contacted the relevant departments of the state and leaked some important information about this device to the country, which has attracted great attention from the upper echelons of the country.
According to Captain Peng's own words, he was cordially received by the No. 1 leader because of this, and was praised and promised by the chief, saying that as long as he wanted to study, he would definitely support it, the Americans have the disc in their hands, we have the machine in our hands, no one should be afraid of anyone, and when necessary, we can still cooperate.
Soon after, Sino-Soviet relations were strained and Sino-American relations entered a honeymoon period, and during a secret diplomatic conference between China and the United States, Chinese diplomats deliberately leaked some information about the device to American personnel, and suggested that Americans could come to China to discuss if they wanted to study together.
Unexpectedly, the Americans reacted immediately, which made the Chinese personnel realize the importance of this device.
So in the same year, the Americans sent a secret scientific research team to China to discuss the next cooperation with the Chinese scientific researchers.
At this time, Captain Peng has become a representative figure of Chinese scientific researchers.
