I stared at him dumbfounded for about ten seconds, and suddenly shouted loudly: "We are archaeologists, how much can we know about this kind of high technology?" What's the use of calling us? Why not bring in an expert in the field? "Thinking about it now, my first reaction at that time was correct, the unknown is the most terrifying, especially when it comes to our unknown territory. My fear was due to the fact that we were involved in the secret, not the secret itself. At that time, knowing the real secret or getting involved in it was extremely stressful and unpredictable. Even the person involved in the secret may disappear for a long time.

Song Guilong looked at me quietly, neither frightened by my sudden manic performance, nor showed a trace of panic and guilt. "Four people were urgently called this time, all of them were members of the archaeological team that discovered the Four Kings Beast Bronze Fangding, and you were named by Captain Zhou to come." Song Guilong reached out and patted me on the shoulder and continued, "It took us five years to find the origin of the Four Kings Beast Bronze Fang Ding. Unfortunately, nothing more valuable was found. Of course, I'm talking about something related to that alloy. As for the cultural relics similar to the bronze square tripod of the Four Kings Beast, we found a few. According to the conclusion of isotope dating, this site is earlier than the Zhou Shang and should be in the early pre-Qin period. ”

The topic returned to archaeology and artifact identification, back to my familiar territory, which cheered me up a little. However, Song Guilong's words completely subverted the common sense of archaeology and me, and made me involuntarily question.

Song Guilong waved his hand, interrupting the mouth I was about to open. "I know what you're trying to say, we've questioned everything you've questioned. But believe it or not, it's just there. Okay, you can go to the scene to see the specific situation, and I will tell you about the division of labor and progress of the work now.

Before you came, this archaeological team, if he counted, consisted of seven people. The captain is Professor Zhou, and Xiao Guolin and I are the vice captains. From the beginning of the formation of this archaeological team to the discovery of this site, there has been no change in the personnel of this archaeological team, mainly to prevent leaks. The site is located on the edge of the largest Yadan landform in Lop Nur, and the excavation work is very unsmooth, and the seven of us are each responsible for a probe, and so far, no probe has been sorted out. According to the analysis and judgment of the excavated probes, several more valuable probes were re-determined.

Counting you this time, a total of four team members have been recruited. I know that you have no experience in archaeology in desert areas, so you don't need to worry about this, the specific excavation work is in charge of the engineering corps of the army, and you are mainly responsible for protecting the artifacts on site and determining the location of the site. Also, I won't give you a new probe to excavate, you go and take over the probe I am responsible for excavation, which will be easier and more dangerous. We're all going to face danger, and I don't think you'll be intimidated by that. I'm going to dig a new probe, so I won't help you, but the engineers who excavated this probe are very experienced, and they are all left to you to assist you in your work.

You're right, we are like blind people in fields other than archaeology, especially when it comes to new technologies and materials. Therefore, in addition to the archaeological team, there is another scientific expedition team composed of experts in materials science, physics, and engineering. They won't be involved in the excavation for the time being, at least not until they see the site. Their job now is to sift through the sand we've dug up for possible clues. In fact, they are worse than us. “

Speaking of this, Song Guilong seemed to remember something, and laughed obscenely a few times.

After listening to Song Guilong's introduction, I was really silent. Frustration, shock, fear, none of these emotions are just silence. Because I know that knowing this secret, I am destined to join it, and any negative emotions will not help me in the slightest, so it is better to accept it silently. No wonder there is no clause in the non-disclosure agreement that prohibits asking and talking, because in order for you to join the team, you must know these secrets, otherwise you will not be able to carry out your work. But what about after that? There will be an end to this work, will I go back to my normal work and life?

My thoughts were never focused, and they were so divergent, and the images in my mind kept changing and flickering. Song Guilong didn't say anything to me again, and the roar of the plane's propellers seemed to be silent.

The vibration of the helicopter falling heavily on the ground woke me up in an unconscious state. The plane was parked in a large forest of abrupt and towering wind-eroded mounds. The yellow sand rolled up by the propeller makes people unable to open their eyes. Song Guilong handed me a windbreaker, opened the hatch and jumped in. I followed Song Guilong's vague figure and ran outside. Song Guilong stopped in front of an earthy jeep, and as soon as I ran over, I was grabbed by Song Guilong and stuffed into the car. Song Guilong immediately jumped into the car, and the car started.

I took off my windshield goggles, spit out the sand in my mouth, and exclaimed, "I can't open my mouth in this damn weather, what should I do if I eat?" ”

"You'll get used to it." Song Guilong teased: "Let me tell you a trick, when eating, don't chew too hard, because there will be sand in every bite of your meal." ”

I thought it was true, and I shook my head helplessly at the thought of purgatory-like life in the future. Outside the window, a military truck drove into the helicopter, apparently to deliver the instrument.

The jeep quickly drove out of the yellow sand and dust stirred up by the propellers, and the surrounding spindle-shaped, cone-shaped, pyramid-shaped, yurt-shaped, camel-shaped, and all kinds of rheumatic mounds appeared. Without exception, the shape is tall and full of vicissitudes. The ground was coarse or fine, but it was very flat, and the jeep drove quickly on it, and I could hear the tires rubbing against the ground and making a different sound from the road driving, and the tires throwing up the gravel and hitting the fenders, very loud, but the car was not bumpy, at least much smoother than I thought.

There are no roads or signposts in this area of Yadan. The driver was a young soldier, and he drove the jeep through the mound jungle completely from memory. I'm not road blind, but if I had to memorize such a complicated path, I think my brain might crash.

The setting sun always appeared in my eyes, allowing me to judge that the general direction of our progress was to the west. At the same time, the dazzling sunset made me unable to look directly at the future, as if I could not see the future clearly.
