40. Inextricably linked to prehistoric civilizations

She came to the museum for the second time to see the sapphire that had caused a lot of trouble in the city. It had been almost two weeks since the jewel was unfolded, and the other day Shi Enamen had attempted to steal the gem, and the words he yelled at about him and Yang Hongxun's competition for the gem had turned the "bloody mermaid" into the focus of societyβ€”in her opinion, it was just a very peculiar stone that fully embodied the magic of nature.

"Tinnitus?" The ears began to "buzz" again. Why do you have this weird tinnitus as soon as you approach this sapphire? Is there any low-frequency or high-frequency sound here?

"Miss Shi, are you here?" Yang Hongxun walked over, still with a gentle smile on his face.

"Mr. Yang." She greeted, "You must be worried that someone has come to steal the gems, right?" ”

"It's fine." Yang Hongxun smiled quite calmly, "Whether it is the security here or the anti-theft facilities in the exhibition hall, they are quite tight, and it is not easy for thieves to succeed." ”

That's right, wasn't Shi Fasheng arrested immediately? "The strange sound here is also one of the anti-theft devices?" The sound made her head swell a little.

"What sound?" Yang Hongxun was a little surprised.

"As soon as you approach this gem, you can hear the 'buzzing' sound." She took another step back, a little further away from the gem.

"I didn't hear that." Yang Hongxun said.

"You didn't hear that either?" Xiao Mo also said that she didn't hear it last time, could it be that there was something wrong with her ears?

"Maybe it's because you're under too much pressure at work." Yang Hongxun said with a smile.

Where does she get the pressure from her job? She frowned and said, "Maybe Mr. Yang is right, being too nervous does produce auditory hallucinations. She couldn't say why, she felt that Yang Hongxun's smile was a little more ill-intentioned now. Meng Fan's so-called "police intuition" may be right. "So many people want this gem just because it's precious?"

Yang Hongxun walked to the display case, gently stroked the transparent and smooth glass case, and said: "Such a delicate stone, but it has a history of early years, imagine what if it is not a product of nature?" ”

"I've heard that there was speculation that this gem was the work of aliens, or a product of a prehistoric civilization. And Egypt, where it first appeared in history, is also a country full of mysteries. She said.

"So, if you can unlock the secrets of this gem, you may be able to discover the secrets of prehistoric civilizations that scientists have been suspecting and finding!" Yang Hongxun suddenly became excited as he spoke.

She looked at Yang Hongxun, who was so excited that she seemed to have found a prehistoric civilization, and thought to herself that this rich man was actually a science fanatic?

As if sensing her gaze, Yang Hongxun quickly calmed down, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm too out of shape." ”

"Where." I really didn't expect Yang Hongxun to be keen on finding prehistoric civilization. "In that case, Mr. Yang must have sponsored some scientific research in this area, right?"

"Yes. Do you know about prehistoric civilizations? ”

"Know a little bit." Because I used to look up some information when I was writing novels. "Isn't the most famous prehistoric civilization the Atlantean civilization? But then, I don't know whether it was due to a volcanic eruption or an earthquake or flood, and the entire country suddenly disappeared in history, and it is still uncertain whether it really existed. ”

"Oh, I didn't expect you to know." Yang Hongxun seemed very pleased, "I only hoped to find evidence to prove that Plato's 'Great Western Continent', that is, the Atlantis continent, actually existed in history!" ”

Oh, that's ambitious. "That'...... What happens after you find it? ”

"If we find the supercivilization described by Plato, then the origin and history of mankind will be subverted!" Yang Hongxun said excitedly.

She couldn't understand how highly developed the civilization of Atlantis was, but it still couldn't withstand the destruction caused by a flood, so what if history was turned upside down now? Of course, she also knew that this would be a remarkable discovery, but Yang Hongxun, a businessman, was more enthusiastic than a scientist, which always made her find it difficult to understand. "Do you think this 'blood merfolk' may contain clues to the Atlantean civilization?" No way? It's just a sapphire, look at Yang Hongxun said that it seems to fly.

"Of course." Yang Hongxun said solemnly, "You said that as soon as you get close, you will hear strange sounds, maybe it is the gem itself that emits some kind of sound waves, and only people with sensitive ears can hear it." ”

She didn't squeak. If this is the case, does Shi Enamen want to return to the gem because he wants to continue his research? "It turns out that Mr. Yang is so enthusiastic about science. If the remains of a prehistoric civilization can be found, it will be the greatest discovery of the century. "Instead of wasting money looking for prehistoric civilizations, why not invest money in research projects to combat environmental pollution? Personally, she feels that this topic needs more attention now.

"Well, it will." Yang Hongxun smiled confidently.

Well, people are so ambitious, she can't pour cold water on people's confidence, right? lest this rich man start a fire and it will be difficult to clean up. "Then I'll visit here today." She was about to take her leave, "By the way, are you going to sue Shi Enamen who came to steal the sapphire?" ”

Yang Hongxun asked rhetorically: "You are very concerned about this matter?" ”

She smiled and said, "It's also big news, of course I want to have first-hand information." The man said that he was a university physics assistant professor, and maybe he was like-minded with Mr. Yang and wanted to find clues about prehistoric civilization from this sapphire. ”

"I'll take into account what you say, Miss Shi." Yang Hongxun's mask-like smile couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"Well, goodbye." Then again, why do the owners of the jewels in the jewelry show hang out in the exhibition hall all day long? Is it because you can't rest assured that you have these gems?

She walked out of the museum and saw an unexpected person. "Tie Yiran? You're also coming to see a jewelry show? "It's amazing.

Tie Yiran smiled and said, "Yes, come and have a good time." I've read it all, though. ”

"Huh?" But she didn't even see him go in, so why did she finish reading it? If she arrived earlier than her, why didn't she go back after watching the exhibition? "You saw the 'Blood Merfolk' sapphire too, right?" She didn't bother to pursue other people's affairs, everyone would have their own secrets anyway. "Why is there such a clearly demarcated ruby in the sapphire, and it is still such a strange shape?" The most incredible thing is that when this sapphire was cut and polished, who knew that such a wonderful shape of ruby was hidden inside?

"I'm afraid I can only tell you that the power of the world is amazing." Tie Yiran smiled.

"That's right." She smiled lightly, "Yirou said that you are on vacation now, how long is that rest?" ”

"What's wrong?" Tie Yiran asked with a smile.

"I'm just thinking about whether I can give us an interview while you're on vacation and talk about the 'Blood Merfolk.'" After all, Tie Yiran is a scholar, and his view of the "blood mermaid" should be more pertinent and scientific. I've written a lot of weird and weird articles about this "cursed treasure" before, and I can talk about the scientific side of the matter later.

"I can't." Tie Yiran categorically refused, "No matter when, where, or anyone asks for it, I will not accept any media interviews." ”

You don't have to be so firm, do you...... Forget it, since Tie Yiran is unwilling, she has no reason to force others. Just as she was about to leave with Tie Yiran's hitchhiker, she saw Tie Yiran's face a little strange. "What's wrong? Under the weather? She asked.

Tie Yiran's eyes stared straight ahead, as if he saw an enemy, if he was a cat, it is estimated that the hair on his whole body would stand up. She followed his line of sight and saw a woman with long hair. But the woman didn't notice herself staring at her, and stood there fixedly, looking at the entrance of the museum from afar. The woman was quite pretty, with long black and silky hair flowing enough to shoot shampoo commercials, and the most striking thing was that although the woman had an oriental face, she had a pair of blue eyes!

"That's someone you know?" No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like Tie Yiran's friend.

At this time, Tie Yiran seemed to finally come back to his senses, took a breath and said, "No, I've just met, and I don't know each other." ”

If you don't know, why do you look at that woman with that kind of look? She didn't quite understand, but Tie Yiran obviously didn't want to talk about it, and she couldn't break the casserole to ask the end. "Are you going to say hello then?"

"No need." Tie Yiran reached for gear and quickly drove the car away from the museum.

She looked back at the womanβ€”the other seemed to be paying no attention to them the whole time, her focus on her eyes as if her soul had been sucked away by a museum, and her eyes were not taken off at all. "The woman seemed weird. What does she do? She inquired curiously.

"It is said that she is a zoologist, and some time ago I heard that she had discovered a new creature, but she did not announce it to the public, and even denied this rumor." Tie Yiran said in a flat tone, "If she really discovers a new creature, it will definitely be a good opportunity to become famous, and there is no reason to hide it, so everyone should take the rumors as wrong." ”

"New creatures? What creature? "Could it be a microbe?

"I don't know." Tie Yiran half-jokingly said, "Maybe it's a mermaid!" ”

"Gah?!" How is it that she has heard the word "mermaid" more often lately than she has gone to a cafΓ© for coffee?

"You know what? In the story told by Plato, mermaids are genetically engineered creatures created by the Atlanteans, who had a highly developed civilization. Tie Yiran smiled meaningfully.

Hey? Why all of a sudden? But what Tie Yiran said flashed in her heart. Incredible sapphires, mermaids, prehistoric Atlantean civilizations...... None of this really relevends, right?
