Sure enough, it didn't take long for Qin Zhen to see a little light on the steep rock wall below. It was probably the rest of the team on their way up. In fact, it is no wonder that for these professional scientific research and exploration teams, if they can't even climb rocks, then they can simply go home and hold books and fall in love with each other.

Qin Zhen saw that Jiang Qi didn't have anything to help here, so he took this opportunity to observe the surrounding environment and terrain.

This cave is not very big, and with Qin Zhen's height, it is impossible to walk completely upright. Moreover, the wall of this cave obviously has traces of artificial excavation. It's not too wide, but it's much easier to walk than the canyon rock formations below. It's just that the light source here is too dim now, and Qin Zhen has no way to see the situation at the end. So it's impossible to deduce how long the road really is.

After taking a general look at this deep cave, Qin Zhen's heart was a little bit counted. This cave and the shaft are connected, and when they were first excavated, they were in the shape of an I-shape. Qin Zhen and Jiang Qi are now on the top horizontal of the I-shape. And Yudong is on the bottom of the horizontal, and the middle one is this extremely deep shaft.

Why is this structure 'I' and not 'work'? It's because the vertical height of the shaft is terrible.

I have to admit that their team and the organization above did make a lot of investment in Lop Nur here back then. Because even in today's advanced technology, it is not easy to do such a huge project in a harsh desert area.

Just after Qin Zhen was a little distracted, first Gu Jie climbed into the cave, and then it didn't take long for everyone to come up safely in turn.

Qin Zhen subconsciously glanced at Lan Qing, but he didn't expect... That girl's face didn't change and her heart didn't beat! Normal qi and blood, steady breathing... And as soon as I came up, I immediately began to pack ropes and other items neatly to prepare for the next journey.

Qin Zhen couldn't help but be stunned as he watched from the sidelines. After coming into contact with it these days, I found out that this team led by Yudong is really a veritable team of dragons and phoenixes! It seems that a group of gentle and weak researchers, don't you know that no one has said anything tired along the way!

It is conceivable that people are really hidden! In this era, what is useless is a scholar, outdated.

At this time, everyone was crammed into this not spacious cave, and they all felt uncomfortable. And everyone really doesn't have much attachment to this place. At that moment, everyone greeted each other, and the tacit decision not to stop, nor to rest, but to go out in one go!

The thought of finally being able to see the outside world again lifted everyone's spirits. This time it was Jiang Qi and Gu Jie who walked in front, not because Yudong was lazy, but because Gu Jie was able to go out as soon as he heard about it, and he ran out like a happy child at that time!

Jiang Qi was not at ease with Gu Jie, so he hurriedly chased after him and followed closely behind Gu Jie. Qin Zhen thought to himself, Jiang Qi's brother is really not in vain! The task assigned to him to take care of Gu Jie was always in mind and he never took it lightly. No wonder Yudong is so relieved of him.

Following the large army all the way, Qin Zhen groped the surrounding rock walls intentionally or unintentionally. Now the temperature here doesn't feel very bitterly cold, and it's very, very close to the ground.

Don't look at this cave is not spacious, but a road leads straight to the end! Not even a single bend! This also saved Qin Zhen and them a lot of trouble, so as not to waste their bodies even more. Of course, this is the difference between an artificial cave and a natural canyon rock formation.

But even with such a straight 'Avenue to Heaven', this length is still beyond Qin Zhen's imagination. Although he had known that this distance would not be too short, he never expected it to be that long!

This means that there are no watches, no electronic instruments, so it is impossible to calculate how long they have been gone. But judging from Cheng Dù, who Qin Zhen himself felt that his legs were gradually sore, there was really a lot of distance.

At this time, Gu Jie finally couldn't help but turn his head and asked, "Dong Shao, why is there no sign of coming to an end in front of this?" How long is this going to be? Eh, you say, this can't be some kind of trick, right? ”

Yu Dong replied disapprenously: "You can go with confidence!" This is a passage dug out by modern man, and there will be no traps. In terms of wisdom, if we compare ourselves with the ancients, we are definitely degenerate. ”

Qin Zhen couldn't help but nod after hearing this, what he said was indeed true. If we use the wisdom, thought and perseverance of modern people, without technology and with all our hands, we may not be able to build those legendary buildings that have attracted worldwide attention.

Ke Rao said so, with Gu Jie's stupid and stupid height, walking on the cat's waist in this cave is really aggrieved. I can also think that he may be more tired than everyone else! So when he gasped and scolded again, no one picked up him, so he could only let him vent.

Qin Zhen also hesitated to Yu Dong beside him at this time and said, "Yu Dong, let's go on like this... Are you about to cross Lop Nur? ”

Yudong thought for a while, and said with some indecision, "It stands to reason that below this are the criss-crossing and interconnected passages and shafts. However, this road seems to be more special, there are no forks in the road, and there are no detours. Perhaps, this is the special underground journey on the Moyu map! ”

Well! Hearing Yu Dong say this, Qin Zhen suddenly remembered the black jade map on the jade gate. I remember that Yu Dong did say that there was an unusual road on the map that was actually underground. It's just that they thought that the first place they could go would be the ancient kingdom of Khotan.

Unexpectedly, Yudong thought of this by coincidence. So he frowned slightly and said, "What you know and what you grasp is still too limited!" I thought I would go to Khotan first, go through the underground road to Jingjue, and then turn back to Loulan. Now it seems that if one link is wrong, all the subsequent inferences will be wrong. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Qin Zhen asked uneasily.

"Because no one knew what this 'Zhenguo Jade' was for! After all, even the team from forty years ago hadn't had time to study it at all. Therefore, there is no exact information left. This leads us to mistakenly regard Zhenguo jade as a piece of jade with special value!! Because it is jade, it is natural to associate it with Khotan, the country of beautiful jade, which has disappeared. This is a fatal inference......" Yu Dong still said without a word, but his expression was always deeply frowned.

The players in the back also sighed in twos and threes, obviously, they also realized this mistake. Qin Zhen nodded noncommittally, because this was indeed a big mistake in cognition.

Most people will have this preconceived notion that since the name is Zhenguo Yubi, it must be jade! But really? That thing with a powerful strange magnetic field and elements, no one has dared to say what kind of substance it is. The reason why it is said to be higher than meteorites and other meteorites is entirely because this strange and powerful magnetic field is so shocking! If it is not said that it is an alien object, what other better explanation could there be?

At this time, Yudong continued, "Jade is here, I thought it would be the place of Khotan, but it turned out to be the ancient kingdom of Wusun. Then the next stop I thought would be a superb place, maybe it would be the real Khotan. ”

After Yu Dong said this, the reaction of the others was good. But Gu Jie turned his head with great difficulty at this time, and said eagerly, "Dong Shao, Dong Shao, don't go around!" I have a headache when you say it! I don't want to understand the mystery of this at all, I just want to ask you, is there a end to this road? I can't hold on! And there's... At the beginning, you said that we were in the military control zone of Lop Nur, so once you went out, you could meet people, right? Thankfully! I'll tell you, I really don't need a warm welcome right now. Even if it's an arrest, I'm in need of a place right now! ”

Gu Jie sped up his pace again as he spoke, as if there was really an army in front of him to greet him! But Yu Dong groaned behind him and said, "Gu Jie, I just said, one link is wrong, and the rest of the inferences are wrong..."

Gu Jie was struck by lightning and frozen! All of a sudden, he stopped. He slowly turned his head in disbelief and said tremblingly, "Young Master... You, what do you mean?? ”

Seeing this, Yudong reluctantly pushed him and told him to hurry up and continue walking.

After that, he hesitated for a moment, and slowly explained, "I thought that after walking into the strange underground route on the map, I would go up to the vicinity of the Exquisite First Bridge. If that's the case, it's naturally quite normal to meet people from the military. But isn't the current situation suddenly a little different? Then since we can't reach the refinement, we may really cross Lop Nur from the ground as Qin Zhen said. If you leave the military district... Then we'll be on our own. ”
