273 Ruin Exploration
The battle became more and more intense, the soldiers on the stone beams gathered together, the brawlers were protected on the perimeter, the ordinary soldiers were included, and the non-combat members such as Shichiji Fujimi Lanxin were in the most core place. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info*/
But just like that, they couldn't resist the attack of the skeleton soldiers, and the machine guns in Fatty's hands were already red barrels, and the muzzles were almost on the nose of the skeleton monsters, but when one skeleton was scattered, a second one would rush up, and then a third, a fourth, and so on......
At this time, Lan Xin suddenly yelled at Li Mi and said, "Withdraw...... Don't chase any more, these monsters are here to lure you away and destroy them one by one! Don't ...... device."
This was the only choice, Li Mi smashed a skeleton in front of him, turned his head and left. In the distance, the poisonous dragon and the king, who had fought with the first skeleton leader, also stopped and began to defend themselves.
It was only at this time that the tide of skeletons began to dissipate, and people watched as a few white bones holding Lan Xin's equipment disappeared in the distance.
The tide of skeletons came and went quickly, and the expedition team was now counted to be alone, and the rest fell into the lava under the stone beams, and the angry poisonous dragon looked at the tired team, turned his head and shouted at Lei Shi, "This is what you say, there is no abnormality?" So what are these things for me? ”
Lei Shi didn't back down at all: "How do I know what the situation is?" You also participated in the previous expedition, and it is true that these monsters did not appear, and now you blame me? ”
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Seven Kills rushed to the middle of the two and said calmly, "There are ruins in front, if there is any dispute, wait until the ruins are inspected!" "Kneel and beg for a hundred eyes to sing
Everyone looked at the bubbles rising on the lava river, and mourned in silence for their fallen comrades, but such a dangerous place could not stay for a long time, and everyone could only accelerate towards the ruins.
No one spoke along the way, and everyone was in a very dull mood, until the huge black stone pillar arch appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Don't spread out, act collectively...... Don't act on your own when you encounter an abnormality! Under Li Mi's strict order, everyone was ready for battle, they replaced them with new magazines and chains, the fighters all changed their energy bars, and the group walked cautiously towards the ruins.
There are black stone buildings everywhere, some of them have collapsed and some are still standing, and from a distance it looks like an ancient castle, but when you actually walk inside, you realize that it is a small city.
The streets are surrounded by the ruins of the palace in the middle, and the various buildings seem to be still visible, and if this small city had been in its heyday, it would have been able to live more than 2,000 inhabitants, and it would be a very small city.
"It's still the same as it used to be, nothing, nothing of value...... Those monsters may have arrived new in the past few years, and they have nothing to do with the ruins at all......" Lei Shi held two tactical short knives in his hands, and his mouth was nagging vigorously.
For the average archaeological team, this kind of ruin has no value at all, the style of the house is common to the Gemanxing, and the stones used are also very ordinary volcanic rocks, without the slightest statue, sculpture and inscription, there are no pictures, texts, cultural relics, such ruins can not provide any useful information at all.
Archaeology has archaeological rules, professionals rely on words, graphics, cultural relics and architectural forms to analyze, without any evidence of archaeology is a waste of energy.
But Lei Shi forgot the true identity of Li Mi, he is not an ordinary archaeological team member, he is a disciple of Professor Truss, and the heir of the occult, although it is just a name, but Professor Truss's notes Li Mi can read a lot.
Squatting on the ground, Li Mi stretched out his hand and smashed the paving stones, he carefully felt the power transmitted back by the stones, and suddenly took out a short knife and began to warp the paving stones vigorously.
Soon the stone block more than a foot thick was pried open, and the gray-black soil inside flowed out, and Li Mi pinched it and found that it was a traditional process of triple soil, clay, lime soil, and sand mixed together, and then tamped.
This is a very primitive paving process, which has been used on the earth almost since the ancient times, and I didn't expect that there are still people using it today, but thinking about the backward technology of Ge Manxing, Li Mi is also relieved.
Seeing Li Mi's concentration, no one present spoke, and even Lei Shi leaned over to see what was going on, and at this time, Li Mi pried open a few paving stones, and a square meter of rammed earth layer was exposed.
"It's a very traditional paving process, the top layer is stacked with stones, and in order to be durable, the stones are erected on the ground, and you can see that it is a foot ......thick."
"Below the stone is a layer of rammed earth mixed with triple soil, if I am not mistaken, there is a small layer of gravel under the rammed earth, if you pay a little more attention, there should be a large layer of gravel under the small gravel layer...... Finally, the original earth! ”
Li Mi dug down layer by layer, and sure enough, as he said, there was a small gravel layer under the rammed earth layer, and then a large gravel layer below.
It seems that the city must not be bad for money when it is planned and built, Li Mi dug down two meters deep, and then he saw the ordinary soil, and this foundation is really a conscience project.
Lei Shi asked puzzledly, "What's strange about this, isn't it just an ordinary roadbed?" ”
But Li Mi shook his head, "No, no, no, this is not an ordinary roadbed, there is really too much information revealed here......"
Li Mi took out a handful of dry black soil from the layer of dirt, spread it lightly on the palm of his hand, and then the helmet hit a bright searchlight, shining the palm of his hand brightly.
Di Ting Battle Armor opened the microscope equipment, and the dirt in the palm of his hand finally showed Li Mi the true secret of this ruin.
"These black grains, if I'm not mistaken, are the seeds of plants, these are oats, this is black beans, and this is corn...... I don't know the others, but I didn't expect that there were so many crop seeds in such a small handful of soil, what problems did you find? ”
Suddenly an electric flash flashed in the poison dragon's mind: "Damn it! What do you mean...... This ruin didn't belong here in the first place? ”
Now everyone suddenly realized, yes, this is a deep underground lava river, all the rocks are solidified by magma, how can there be mud in this kind of ghost place?
Even if there is soil, there can be no seeds in it! Even if there are seeds, why are there so many grain seeds?
"Do you mean...... This ruin was previously on the ground? Fat said incredulously, "How is this possible, our current depth should be more than a thousand meters underground, right?" How did this move in? ”
No one was able to answer this question, but at this time, the Great Chief of the Poison Dragon looked at Lei Shi, "My brother, can you give me an explanation?" ”
"Me? You, you, you...... Why do you ask me? ”
