Chapter 013: Underground
Watson's squad consisted of 9 people, carrying a series of tools ranging from precision instruments to pickaxes and ropes. The Grand Leader of Yelu Zhousheng also provided Watson with an expert physician from the Moon Center Hospital, and prepared commonly used instruments and medicines.
They were led by Watson to the crypt where the accident had last occurred. The space vehicles were parked outside, and people turned on the light source they carried with them and walked into the dry and smooth cave.
Another space vehicle quietly followed, and two men in the uniforms of the Ministry of Armed Forces jumped out of the vehicle. They circled around the space-cars parked there a few times, and hesitated on the outside of the cave.
"Can't we get in?" A man asked, looking at the swarthy hole.
"I'm not an expert, I'm just going to keep an eye on it, and then let these people find out what we say? Delivering meals? ”
"Anyway, it's just this hole, we're guarding here, where else can they run."
The dark hole in the ground stretched out into the darkness, and Watson and the others didn't find anything unusual along the way. The monotonous cave walls and the monotonous journey soon made people feel sleepy and a few people drowsy.
"Watson, maybe it's just this, we won't find anything important if we go any further." Said a person who specializes in the trial. Long journeys are not his forte.
"That's true, but the end ahead awaits me, do you know what's there?" Watson asked.
"It's not going to be a treasure, is it? Piled high with gold, silver, and diamonds, what good are they when they can't be exchanged for jerky? It was a female researcher who spoke, "It's still not as attractive as a room full of jerky." ”
Watson smiled, "Ancient legend has it that there was a military strategist in our Chinese tribe, and if he were in our ranks today, he would tell you that there is a forest growing at the end of the cave, and the green fruits on it will stimulate your taste buds and make you swallow wildly. ”
After walking for about three hours, the roof of the cave suddenly pressed very low, and contracted and closed at the end.
There was nothing but a cave, and they stood not far from the bottom of the cave, and they had to bend down to go any further. Several people looked at each other.
"Watson, where is that green fruit grove? You pay me for the fruit! The female team member stomped her foot hard.
A round stone ball seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and with the voice of the female team member, it jumped out of the narrowest cave and rolled directly to the female team member's feet, revealing a small circular hole at the bottom of the cave that only allowed one person to enter and exit.
Watson said, "Isn't it, what a big fruit...... It belongs only to ladies. Let me go down first. ”
He leaned on the edge of the cave and listened, and the vague aria seemed to be below.
Someone had drilled a stud into the rock wall - a hard alloy one and a half feet long, and hung a safety rope. The female team members took special detection equipment and did not find anything abnormal underneath.
Watson grabbed the rope and went in with his feet, retreating little by little into the small hole, and then he didn't even get his head into it. People waited outside with bated breath.
It took a long time for the signal to come up and let them go down.
They saw Watson standing on the ground five feet above the entrance of the small cave, surrounded by a yellow-brown fluorescent light, and looked at themselves, everyone was like that.
Below is a large expansive dome, the ceiling and walls of the cave are covered with a kind of fluorescent hedron that emits a mysterious, quiet soft light.
"Turn off the light." Watson commanded.
"What kind of stone is this?" A man touched the wall of the cave and asked himself, there is no light source, they can still see.
It's the same under the soles of your feet, and it doesn't look monotonous, like a particularly expensive floor, but if you look closely, it's a dense lens.
A few men walked around, and on the ground directly below the dome, they found a round stone disc that had been hewn by hand. The stone plate is only two meters in diameter, and ordinary stones, which do not emit light, are just enough for a few of them to stand on.
Someone felt something strange under their feet.
Watson leaned over the reopened light source and leaned over to make out the pattern on it. Twelve patterns are carved around the perimeter of the stone plate, with text in the center.
"This is Mayawen, it doesn't bother me." A text expert said. Then he turned on the light and slowly read out the following text to everyone:
"History is the whole memory of ourselves, as a species, as you can see, a magnificent and loving history, all frozen in it. Throughout history, humanity has never faced total destruction. Disasters and catastrophes took away the Mayans, and this is by no means a crisis of extinction of all mankind...... for there are tears of compassion...... Periodically falls from the sky. ”
After hearing this, the people stood in awe.
The pattern around the disc is also recognized, which is the zodiac signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini. Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Tenzi, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
This knowledge of astronomy was recorded by our ancestors in various forms, and finally transformed into stamen-like chips in the moon, blooming among various types of flowers, as bright as the morning sun.
The Earth's orbit is projected to form a great circle in the celestial sphere - named the "ecliptic". Surrounding the ecliptic is a star-studded ribbon that spreads 7 degrees north and south.
Although these constellations vary in size and shape, they are evenly spaced along the edge of the ecliptic, giving a strict order to the daily sunrise and sunset.
Seeing that there is nothing else, what is seen here is not so much a way out as a mystical revelation, a hint of the direction of thought.
They followed Watson and walked around the vault, and nothing else. So I went back to where I came in. When I looked up, I saw that the rope that had hung down from above had been dropped by someone, and it was floating down with the stud and coiled on the ground.
Yelu Zhou Shengsheng finally freed up his efforts, and he thought of Watson and them. So he left Hejing, let her bury her head in those treasures, and brought two people out by herself. At the hole where several space vehicles were parked, he saw two people starting the space vehicles in a panic. Yelu Zhousheng thought it was Watson's subordinate, "What are you going to do?" ”
"We ...... We're going to get food."
Jereh Zhousheng thought Watson and they were inside. So he led someone in. Four hours later, Yelu Zhousheng rushed out of the cave with two of his men. Hop in the car and drive fast back to the moon.
He returned to his room and connected to the Ministry of Armed Security with some anger, "Check me, who used the space car with car number 356, what about them!" ”
A female voice calmly replied, "Great Chief, it has been found, it is a car that caused the accident, and two staff members of our department collided with a lunar orbiter after entering the inner orbit of the moon not long ago. Every part of the car is no longer the same. ”
"What about people, people?" "Great Chief, you know the speed of the railcar, these two have become a layer of flesh on the surface of those parts."
