Xia Qing's mention of this word couldn't help but immediately make everyone else break out in a cold sweat.

"Nuclear radiation detectors? How did you come across that kind of thing? Gao Chao looked at Xia Qing puzzled.

Xia Qing said leisurely: "When I was in the UK, I once participated in an archaeological research, but the location of the ancient tomb is near the nuclear test site, so we will use a nuclear radiation detector to collect data on the nuclear radiation situation on the surface, because we do archaeological research without this kind of instrument, so I still borrowed a very old detector from the university to use, I remember that part of the detector is very similar to this metal box." ”

In fact, when Gao Chao was in the army, he also received training in nuclear warfare, knew some common sense of nuclear warfare, and also heard a little about nuclear radiation detectors.

He thought for a while and said: "I remember that the nuclear radiation detector has a split body or an integrated one, and the general old-fashioned one seems to be separate, with a detector connected to a contact rod, and there is a pointer table on the detector, and when the contact rod detects nuclear radiation, the pointer will display the corresponding data and make a clicking sound." ”

Xia Qing looked at Gao Chao with some surprise, and said, "That's the ......" she spoke, looked at the metal box again, and continued: "Look at that box again, its size and material, is it very much like an old-fashioned nuclear radiation detector." ”

After Xia Qing said this, Gao Chao also felt a little similar, he remembered that the kind of detector he had seen in the army was also a metal box. There's also a radiant symbol on it.

So he nodded, "It's a bit like that." However, it is not certain. I think it's safe to be safe, so let's leave it alone. ”

As he spoke, Gao Chao grabbed Xia Qing and was about to go back.

But Xia Qing suddenly broke free of Gao Chao, and said seriously: "Old Gao, although we are here to find the Tomb of the King of the West Night, but now the situation is different, since we have found so many clues, we must figure out some things." You may not understand it, but it's important to us. ”

Gao Chao looked at Xia Qing, he really didn't understand what was important to them about the information left by the Soviets thirty years ago?

Xia Qing turned around and walked towards the metal box, and reacted superbly, only then did he shout: "Stop." ”

Gao Chao's voice, loud, looked like he was angry, startling everyone else present.

Xia Qingzhen stopped. Looking back at Gao Chao in a daze, he was speechless.

Gao Chao sighed at this time. lowered his voice and said, "You guys stay put, no one is allowed to move, that metal box, let me check it." ”

The fat man couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard this, and said, "Old Gao, you ......"

Without waiting for the fat man to finish speaking, Gao Chao said: "When I was in the army, I received some training in exposure to nuclear radiation, even if I am not professional, I am much better than you." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, slowly approaching the metal box half-buried in the sand.

When the wind blows, it picks up the dust around the metal box, making it even more mysterious and dangerous.

Gao Chao tried to squat down slowly, and then gently sowed the sand around the box with his hands, and gradually, the box was all exposed.

Gao Chao glanced back at the others, he felt very nervous, I don't know when it started, his palms were already sweating, he didn't know if such a thing, whether it was just a detector, or if it was radioactive in itself.

Fortunately, he had learned how to deal with the situation, so he took off his coat and wrapped his right hand around it, and he tried to wrap it as thick and strong as he could, as if he were wearing a thick glove.

Although he had taken such measures, he himself understood that this was just a psychological comfort, and if the metal box in front of him was really highly radioactive, then no matter what he did, it would be in vain.

Gao Chao wrapped his right hand, and carefully began to try to move the box.

He touched it lightly, and seeing that nothing had changed, before pushing the box out of the sand with all his might.

The metal box looked heavy, rubbing a short mark on the sandy ground, but he couldn't tell if the box was the detector Xia Qing said, so he could only try again and turn the box over to check.

He tried several times, and finally succeeded, and the box was finally gently turned up.

When Gao Chao was almost lying on the ground and finally saw the bottom of the box, he let out a sigh of relief and turned the box over.

"It's really just a nuclear radiation detector."

Gao Chao sat on the ground with his ass as if his whole body was paralyzed, he took out a cigarette with a trembling hand and lit it, took a deep breath, and shook his head to look at the detector.

I saw that on the side of the box that was turned over, it was actually a fan-shaped reading meter, although the reading meter had been seriously corroded and almost unrecognizable, but this was enough to show that this metal box was an abandoned nuclear radiation detector.

When Xia Qing carefully examined the detector, she came to her own conclusions.

"The detector is very simple and practical, with only a switch and a dial for reading, and although the hands of the dial have been lost, the words on the dial are still faintly recognizable, and there is no doubt that they are in Russian."

Xia Qing held the detector with both hands, and his tone of voice was very affirmative.

The fat man was surprised on the side: "It's really you, Professor Xia, you also know Russian, what is written on it?" ”

Gao Chao glanced at the fat man and said, "The key question now is not what is written in Russian at all, but how this kind of thing appeared here." ”

Xia Qing also nodded and said, "Yes, it should not be accidental that this kind of thing appeared here." ”

As she spoke, she looked at the wreckage of the convoy as far as the eye could see.

Gao Chao also suddenly thought of something, and said, "Could this be the real purpose of this team coming here?" ”

Xia Qing's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Maybe they don't know why they came here at all." ”

Gao Chao looked at Xia Qing, but didn't say a word.

Of course, he was thinking about many possibilities, but none of them could reasonably explain why this nuclear radiation detector was here.

Is it because there is a source of radiation here? But Gao Chao knew very well that they had no way to determine such an assumption at the moment.
