As soon as Professor Xia mentioned the Sea Snake Country, Ming Zhou patted his head, as if he remembered something. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I heard this, I couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "What is the Sea Snake Country for?" ”

Dryland ...... No, or should it be Wei Liming, he didn't speak, but Zhou Xuanye said: "Speaking of the Sea Snake Country, I have to mention Western miscellaneous records. "Zhou Xuanye is very knowledgeable and talented, and when he is idle on weekdays, he mostly drinks tea, reads, and plays chess, and lives like an old man. It seems that he has read this Western miscellaneous book. As he spoke, he talked about the origin of this sea snake country.

This matter has to start from the Ming Dynasty Chengzu period, Zheng He went to the West. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was rich in national strength, internal and external stability, coupled with the rise of foreign trade and some political reasons, Ming Chengzu ordered Zheng He to lead more than 20,000 people, seven voyages, and visited more than 30 countries and regions in the western Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and had reached more than 30 countries and regions such as Java, Sumatra, Sulu, Pahang, Chenla, Guli, Siam, Punggara, Adan, Tianfang, Zofar, Kurumus, Mugudushu, etc., and reached as far as East Africa and the Red Sea.

This voyage, a century ahead of Magellan, Columbus and others, is known as the pioneer of the Age of Discovery, and even some people predicted that Zheng He had discovered the Americas earlier, but there was an ocean in the middle, coupled with the vast territory of the Americas, the Chinese were not good at aggression, so they did not put the Americas in their eyes, but later, the Europeans invented guns and massacred and enslaved the local indigenous people in the Americas, which is really hateful.

And the Western miscellaneous notes, it is said that it was written by a navigator on Zheng He's ship, written about some of the things he saw and heard during the voyage, because the ancients were good at exaggeration, for things they didn't understand, they always liked to speculate or crown them with ghosts and gods, so the content of the Western miscellaneous notes, some exaggerated and bizarre, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "Journey to the West" on the sea, so it is difficult to use it as a historical research, so it is very out of the way, it is difficult for Zhou Xuanye to read such a partial book.

In that book, it is recorded that when the ship sailed to the western Pacific Ocean, it encountered a nation of seas called the Sea Serpent Country. The body of the Sea Snake Country is slender and thin, the chest is high and protruding, the eyes are larger than those of the Central Plains, the outline is deep, the sea eats the sea, the staple food is fishing and hunting, and does not eat birds and birds.

The sea snake country is composed of twenty-four large and small islands, the island is densely forested, lush, there are no large beasts, but there are many poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, the islanders are good at taming snakes, take snake venom, quenched on the poisonous arrows, if someone commits it, then shoot poisonous arrows, manipulate poisonous insects to fight back.

In addition, the people of the Sea Serpent Country are called sea snakes because they have a special ability, that is, they can hold their breath for a long time and can dive into deep water, just like sea snakes.

The sea snake people also have the custom of sea burial, because they are not good at weaving, so they love the cloth and silk of the Central Plains, and the island produces a kind of shellfish like a clam, which can absorb the moonlight.

After Zhou Xuanye finished speaking, he said: "The archipelago, the moonlight, and the sea burial, these three points are all right, it seems that the ghost island may be the former sea snake country, but the rest of the islands should have been destroyed in geological activities." ”

Wei Liming hummed and continued.

When it was determined that this place was the country of sea snakes written in the Western miscellaneous records, everyone was like being beaten with chicken blood,

Professor Xia was even more excited, and said: "At the bottom of this sea, there are likely to be relics of the Sea Snake Country, no, I want to go down and see it myself." ”

Ming Zhou tried to stop him, compared to Professor Xia, he was still a little old, but where was Professor Xia willing to listen, these people, as long as they were involved in their own professional field, it would be absolutely crazy.

The people of the Sea Serpent Country, as recorded in the book, can move on the bottom of the sea with their human bodies. You must know that the water pressure of seawater, in the absence of modern equipment, normal people can dive at most twenty or thirty meters, which is the limit.

And with modern equipment, the current record for the highest dive was set by an Egyptian, and it is said to be more than 300 meters underwater.

This depth is terrifying for a person, and it has to be someone who has been professionally trained.

Although Professor Xia is strong, his group has not undergone professional diving training, even if there is the best diving equipment on the boat, sixty or seventy meters is about the same, for Professor Xia and his group, it is still difficult.

Under the persuasion of the group, Professor Xia finally compromised and decided that Wei Liming and the five of them would dive into the bottom of the sea to find out the situation.

After having lunch that day and resting for more than two hours, in the calm afternoon, a group of five people, dressed on the top diving equipment in China at that time, entered the water one after another, and dived all the way down along the stone pillar, trying to reach the bottom of the sea and find clues about the sea snake country.

The hard work pays off, and the trend of the entire seabed is funnel-shaped, and the farther out, the shallower the sea is, so about 30 meters, everyone will reach the bottom.

At a depth of more than 30 meters, the bottom of the sea is also pitch black, and with the help of underwater searchlights, you can see all kinds of sea creatures swimming around.

The bottom of the sea is densely covered with reefs and sea sand, and the sloping trend makes people can only continue to deepen. Thirty meters of depth is nothing for them for the time being, so the group swam very slowly, turning on the lights to the maximum, observing the surrounding waters and the situation under the water.

Soon, the five of them found different ruins on the bottom of the sea, either stones, or pieces of iron, or something covered with gray-white particles that looked like clay pots.

These things, if ordinary people see them, it is difficult to notice, and I am afraid that they will be easily mixed with ordinary sand and gravel on the seabed. But Wei Liming and the others are not ordinary people, they are all very professional people, and archaeology, evolution, and biology are all in the same vein. Aren't you curious about the mystery of those Sea Snake people holding their breath in the sea for a long time?

Therefore, these seemingly ordinary things, in the eyes of this group of extraordinary people, can almost see something unusual.

They found diamond-shaped masonry covered in gray and white particles, the ruins of which were unique patterns on the sheets, raised, collapsed buildings with the shape of the past, and the shallower they went, the more obvious their traces became, and finally, when the five of them gathered together and looked forward with the lights on, they could see a ghostly underwater world.

Another civilization wrapped in dark and cold waters, I don't know how many years it has been sleeping in this sea, the sand covers them, swimming fish shuttle between dilapidated buildings, and in some places, some large and small whirlpools are formed, and even human bones can be seen.

In the deeper waters, there were still many vague outlines, but the five of them already felt a little strained, the water pressure made them very uncomfortable, and if they dived further, they were a little powerless. However, even so, everything in front of them shocked them, excited, and excited, and their hands and feet trembled a little.

After the excitement, Ming Zhou gestured to the four of them and pointed to his feet, meaning to bring some specimens up, after all, now under the water, the situation is unknown, and the sight is not very clear, if you want to understand this civilization more deeply, you still have to bring some things up to think about it carefully.

They chose a few very representative pieces, one is some broken patterns, the other is some pottery, in addition, there are some jade objects with obvious Chinese characteristics. According to the records of Western miscellaneous records, the people of the Sea Snake Kingdom loved the fabrics and jade of the Central Plains, and there were related trades.

After filling the salvage bag, when the five of them were about to leave with the salvage bag, Caiyun suddenly pulled Wei Liming's arm, Wei Liming looked at her sideways, naturally she couldn't speak underwater, she could only communicate by gestures.

I saw Caiyun dragging Wei Liming's hand and pointing to the southwest position, Wei Liming looked over and suddenly found that under the black seawater, there was a figure standing!

The figure was at the junction of light and darkness, standing upright, startling Wei Liming. But soon, Wei Liming reacted, thinking to himself, how could there be other living people under the sea? Looking at the figure's motionless posture, could it be a stone man or something? So he gestured to the crowd and motioned to go over and see what was going on.

However, when they actually got close to that person, everyone was confused. By the light of the searchlight, I saw that it was not the stone man that Wei Liming and others had guessed, but a real person, a woman!

This is a * woman, without any diving equipment, long black hair, fluttering with the current, sometimes wrapping herself up, although the face looks beautiful, but in this deep water, it is as terrifying as a female ghost.

She closed her eyes, her feet sank into the sand, the sand went straight to her knees, and her whole body, as if nailed to her, stood straight and motionless.

Obviously, this is absolutely impossible to be a living person.

But if you want to say that she is a dead person, how can she be so lifelike?

These people work in the J organization, what strange things have you not seen? If you want to say that the kind of corpses that are kept very intact, they have actually seen them, but those corpses are all processed.

But now this woman, to be exact, this female corpse, is soaked in water.

A normal corpse has already swelled after a day of soaking, not to mention, looking at the appearance of this corpse, I don't know how many years it has been soaking.

The strange female corpse under the sea, the black hair that ripples with the sea, the closed eyes, and the body of the *scarf, all reveal a strange and creepy color.

The five people looked at each other in the sea, wearing diving helmets, and they couldn't see each other's faces, only their eyes, and after the five pairs of eyes looked at each other for a while, Ming Zhou waved his hand and signaled to dig up the body.

The five of them didn't hesitate too much and immediately started to move.

Those who do this business can still be afraid of the dead?

ps: Finally made up for the more owed, there are still ten days before the end of the game, and there are still 400 votes away from the second place, let's work harder, tell me loudly: Okay!
