"Actually, you're doing pretty well." The colonel said with a hint of amusement on his face: "The first few people who signed the confidentiality agreement were scared to pee their pants. ”

I knew that since I had signed a non-disclosure agreement, I would inevitably enter 'Seven'. But I was still a little surprised to hear him say this. "Who's the one who got into Seven ahead of you?" I asked.

"It's all your peers, this project doesn't allow proliferation, but time is really short." The colonel resumed his serious attitude and said, "I won't introduce you to the specific situation, let Song Guilong tell you on the way." ”

With the colonel's words, the door of the room opened, and Song Guilong walked in with a wicked smile on his face.

"Old Song, you're not authentic." I complained.

"You can't blame me for that." Song Guilong said helplessly: "This is a chore, and it is also restricted by confidentiality regulations, and no one wants to come without some means." It's decided from above, stop complaining, it'll be over soon,"

"What the hell is going on?" At this point, I asked politely.

After I asked this, not only did Song Guilong not answer me, but the colonel, who was sitting leisurely on the desk, jumped down and made a pause gesture with both hands, "I can't say it here, you two can talk about the specific situation on the way." It's ready. ”

As he spoke, the colonel pushed and shoved the two of us out of the small building.

As soon as I came out, I asked Song Guilong puzzled: "Why can't you say it to him?" ”

He didn't know the specifics. Strictly speaking, he didn't know the details of the level of authorization. Song Guilong said this, and then said, "Of course, the main reason is that he doesn't want to know more specific things." The more you know, the more burdens you have. ”

I was slightly shocked, but before I could digest the message of his words, I came to our transport, a Z-8 transport helicopter. The propellers had started, and the roar of the engines drowned out our voices, and I lost the ability to think for a while.

The helicopter has a huge instrument on board, which takes up most of the space in the cabin. As soon as Song Guilong and I sat down at the tail of the cabin, the helicopter slowly rose into the air in the loess raised by the propellers. After entering the normal flight, my ears gradually adjusted to the roaring factor, and after I could hear the other person's voice a little, I couldn't wait to ask, "What the hell is going on?" We're archaeological, so how can we get involved in the secrets of the military? ”

Song Guilong took out a drawing clip from behind him, took out a photo and handed it to me. I just looked at it and I recognized it without a doubt. When I participated in archaeology for the first time as an archaeology student, I found the bronze square tripod of the Four Kings Beast at the ruins of that ancient town, and this name was tentatively named by the archaeological team leader when it was unearthed. This bronze tripod is so important in my memory, mainly because I have never found anything more mysterious and valuable than it in my subsequent archaeological activities, even though I am now the leader of an archaeological team.

Before this bronze tripod was carried away, it was in the pit without shelter. We, the students and other members of the archaeological team, surrounded it to clean up the sand, so we looked very carefully and made countless guesses about it. Of course, limited by the experience and knowledge of the time, only a rough judgment can be made, which is also affected by the evaluation of experienced archaeological team members. In fact, to put it mildly, our judgment is just a synthesis of other people's evaluations.

However, as I gradually participated in more archaeological activities and received more knowledge of archaeology and artifacts, I completely rejected the judgments I had made. Originally, we judged that it was a relic of the Zhou Dynasty according to the ornamentation on the tripod, which appeared on this ancient silk road of the Tang Dynasty, and should have flowed from the Central Plains. Later, through the comparison and research of various documents, it was found that the four animal face patterns on the bronze square tripod of the four kings beast were very different from the animal face patterns left in the Central Plains, which seemed to be two cultures on the strange road, but they were fused in the bronze tripod, which was a utensil with oriental cultural connotation.

However, this Four Kings Beast Bronze Fang Ding has never appeared since it left my sight, and I have not even heard from it again. It was out of curiosity about it and deep that its excavation was also related to me, so I silently researched its origin in my spare time. So as soon as this photo appeared in front of me today, I immediately recognized it, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Four Kings Beast Bronze Fang Ding!" Are we here for it? ”

For being able to participate in the archaeological project of excavating the source of the bronze tripod of the Four Kings Beast, I immediately swept away the initial frustration and anxiety. Because I've always been concerned about it, and I'm willing to pay attention to it for the rest of my life.

"It's just a side item, no, it's the clue that led us here. That's all. We're looking for the source of something else. Song Guilong said loudly in the roaring noise as he pulled out another photo from the clip.

The photograph shows a hexagonal metal object with six flat and smooth sides and some intricate ornamentation carved on the front. There are no references in the photograph, so I can't judge its size, but the hexagonal metal glows dimly and looks delicate.

Song Guilong looked at me blankly and explained: "This thing was unearthed at the same site when the bronze Fang Ding of the Four Kings Beast was discovered. At that time, I didn't care about being wrapped in the old soil, of course, the main reason was that the main energy at that time was on the bronze Fang Ding of the Four Kings Beast. It was discovered the following year, during the cleaning of that archaeological artifact. ”

After listening to Song Guilong's words, I was really at a loss. This hexagonal metal object, judging by its fine workmanship, looks as if it were made by modern technology. Judging from the luster, it is more unlikely to be a bronze product, more like the luster of iron. Iron and bronze are both epoch-making products, both of which once represented an era. Two epoch-making products, and both of them are masterpieces, unearthed in the ruins of the same ancient town, it is an incredible thing to say.

Even though my mind was still struggling with how these two things could be in the same place at the same time, I was even more shocked by the emergence of another problem. If this is an iron tool, it should be rusted or rusted over the millennium, even in an arid environment. However, this hexagonal metal object is as smooth as new, and the decoration on the front is delicate and clear, without the slightest trace of precipitation for thousands of years.

Looking at my shocked expression, Song Guilong also said with a stern expression: "This is an alloy, similar to stainless steel. But this alloy technology is so advanced that we can't even master the current technology. In other words, it represents a civilization that surpasses us. ”
