Chapter 469: The Secret of the Skull Stone
For some reason, listening to my cousin's narration, I vaguely felt that these records about Xuan Heng might be very crucial to the final solution of those mysteries.
The cousin took a sip of water, and continued in an unhurried voice: "Since Xuanheng's grandfather, their family has been passed down from three generations, so although Xuanheng's father decided to let Xuanheng take the road of the imperial examination, he still wanted to pass on this ancestral secret to Xuanheng, so one day when Xuanheng was fourteen years old, his father took him to a stone pit deep in the mountains, and told him that the stone pit was their family's cornucopia, because so many strange birds that were different were cultivated from that stone pit, This surprised Xuan Heng.
When his father told Xuan Heng more secrets of that stone pit, Xuan Heng was completely shocked, he never dreamed that there were so many shocking secrets hidden in this stone pit, and these secrets were absolutely beyond anyone's imagination.
As Xuan Heng grew up, he often came to the stone pit alone to explore more secrets, unlike his father, Xuan Heng was not only literate, but also well-read, so his understanding of the stone pit far exceeded that of his father, grandfather, and even great-grandfather.
Xuan Heng heard from his father that their family discovered this stone pit when it was his great-grandfather.
At that time, his great-grandfather was no different from the average bird-keeper, but his great-grandfather was more hard-working, and was also a very scheming, extremely intelligent person, he went to the mountains whether to catch birds, or to study the habits of birds, always day and night, a hundred days and half a month into the mountains, very few bird keepers, can endure this kind of hardship, it is this extraordinary spirit of hardship, so that he has the opportunity to discover, an unusual secret, and this secret, changed the fate of his family for several generations.
By chance, Xuan Heng's great-grandfather found several very strange birds, the appearance and size of these birds are very special, and they do not belong to any kind of known birds.
So, it took him a whole month, and finally found that the nests of these strange birds were all in the same stone pit, and what was even more strange was that the nests of these birds were completely different from ordinary birds' nests - they were in some small holes in the stone pit, and these small holes came and went, and they were mysterious and unpredictable.
What shocked Xuan Heng's great-grandfather even more was that the birds in these stone pits not only looked very strange, but some of them were as smart as people, and he observed with his own eyes how these birds used ingenious methods to avoid various bird traps and bird traps, and he felt that the methods used by these birds might not even be able to figure out by humans.
After a year or two of arduous observation and repeated exploration, Xuan Heng's great-grandfather not only mastered the living habits of these strange birds, but also learned more secrets about the stone pit, not only that, but he also thought of all kinds of wonderful ways to use the stone pit to capture and breed a lot of strange birds, and these strange birds were sold at a very high price, and the supply exceeded demand, so that their family quickly prospered.
So, this stone pit has become a cash cow for their family, and it has also become a secret passed down from generation to generation in their family, except for his own son, Xuan Heng's great-grandfather never told anyone about this secret, including his wife, and it is precisely by relying on this secret that their family can live a rich life without worrying about food and clothing for several generations, which is very rare at that time.
When Xuan Heng grew up, he did a more in-depth study of this stone pit, especially after he was frustrated in the field, studying this stone pit became his biggest spiritual pillar, Xuan Heng not only often went on field trips, but also read all the local chronicles that could be found at that time, and had a new understanding of the ins and outs of this stone pit. ”
Uncle added, these records about Xuan Heng, for us, is simply too important, comprehensive information from all aspects, it can be seen that the stone pit mentioned in the record is likely to be this crater, and this crater, in addition to breeding many strange birds, there are many shocking secrets, and these secrets, Xuan Heng should know very well, is it after understanding these secrets, Xuan Heng took this crater, as Zhu Leting's last place to escape?
Judging from various signs, there may be some incredible functions in this crater, and it is these functions that make so many strange phenomena appear in the crater.
"By the way, when you say this, I also think of a strange thing", Mr. Chen next to him said, "I heard an engineer from the Institute of Geology say that when they used a drill bit to drill the meteorite sample below, they found that there were blood stains on the drill bit, which means that the drill bit has drilled into living creatures, but what makes them puzzled is that this crater is composed of stones, how can there be animals underneath?"
Because the ground of this crater is too hard, there is no other way to detect the situation under the crater except for drilling, so in the end, the matter of blood on the drill bit can only be stopped. ”
In fact, for the living creatures in the crater, we can see it with our own eyes, and the drill beetle is that it can use its own saliva to easily make holes and drill holes in the ground as solid as steel.
But what we want to know most is, will there be any other animals under the crater besides the kind of drill beetles we've already seen?
Or, a more daring idea is - are Zhu Leting and Xuan Heng really still living in it? If that's the case, that's what shocks us the most.
"According to the historical materials told by Researcher Wang, have you ever thought that this kind of 'monkey eagle' may not have originated in ancient Egypt at the earliest, but originated in this crater, and then slowly spread to Egypt, maybe with the climate change in our area, the number of this kind of 'monkey eagle' has gradually become very rare, just like the giant panda - in a certain period of history, the number of giant pandas was very large, but with the change of climate, the number of giant pandas has become less and less. In the end, it was almost extinct.
Moreover, I also thought that since there are so many strange birds in this crater, is it not that when this meteorite landed, the huge energy released produced something similar to nuclear radiation, which caused many birds and other creatures around to mutate, so that so many strange birds and other creatures were produced, and other strange creatures, such as the red pangolin, not only that, as we speculated before, it was also this meteorite that disturbed the whole mountain' All in all, all kinds of strange phenomena and creatures in the mountain are affected by this meteorite, especially the closer you get to it, the greater the impact will definitely be. ”
According to the historical materials mentioned by my cousin, Madman Six came to these conclusions, and his speculation deepened our understanding of this crater a lot.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the two 'monkey eagles' again, maybe it was really like the crazy six speculated, before the meteorite fell, there was no such bird as the 'monkey eagle' in the world, and after the meteorite fell, the genes of a certain animal mutated, and the species of 'monkey eagle' was formed, and this species was slowly spread to Africa and Egypt.
If that's the case, it's amazing.
"If meteorites can really cause biological mutations, we can explain that kind of giant eagle - that kind of giant eagle is also caused by this genetic mutation, it turns out that they may be just an ordinary eagle, and after mutation, that kind of giant eagle is formed."
Kenya said excitedly.
At this time, the female translator on the side was talking to the two female assistants in Japanese, whispering something, probably translating to them what we were talking about, for this kind of scene, we often see - when we talk about something, because the two Japanese female assistants do not understand Chinese, so the female translator often explains to them in Japanese.
However, this time it seems to be different from the past - I have to admit that the Japanese are still very polite, and when they talk about things in Japanese, their voices are usually very quiet, but this time, for some reason, their voices are getting louder and louder, and although we don't know what they are talking about, we can see that the female translator seems to be excited.
In the end, we stopped talking, only listening to the three of them in Japanese, which lasted for several minutes before they stopped, and then the female translator said to us in Chinese: "Seeing the skull-shaped particles inside that stone, why do people temporarily lose their memory?" I've pretty much figured out the reasons for this now. ”
This is so unexpected that we can hardly believe our ears - that kind of phenomenon is so mysterious and incredible, we rack our brains, but we don't have a clue, how can a female translator suddenly be able to crack it?
For a while, everyone didn't know what to say, just quietly waiting for the female translator to explain.
But the female translator did not cut directly to the point, but first introduced the female assistant: "For such a long time, I may not have said in detail about my two female assistants, both of whom have doctorates in biomedicine and have a background of studying in the United States and Germany. ”
This makes us feel very baffled, although we don't know the background of these two female assistants in detail, but they have degrees in biomedical sciences, what is so special? They already work in biomedical companies, so it's normal to have this kind of related degree, so do you need to introduce them?
When everyone was confused, the female translator continued: "The reason why I emphasize their backgrounds is to let everyone know that some of their perspectives are very professional and valuable to us.
When I mentioned the 'skull stone' just now, I didn't expect that one of them not only knew about this stone, but had seen it before, and studied it, and what was even more rare was that she knew why it could make people lose their memories for a while. ”
The words of the female translator immediately made everyone excited, this is really called "stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, it takes no effort to get it", usually because of the language barrier, we don't know much about these two female assistants, but I didn't expect it to help us a lot today.
The madman six whispered in my ear: "See, how terrible is the work of Japanese devil spies, two inconspicuous young women, both are hidden professionals, so whenever I say something, I feel very bad when I see them recording in a notebook, for so much valuable information about us, I don't know how much they have stolen, when I am with them in the future, I must pay special attention." ”
It was as if he was saying to me and reminding himself.
However, what everyone is most concerned about now is the weird skull stone, why do people lose their memories when they take a magnifying glass and see the skull particles inside? It's a lot like witchcraft, but what we want to know most is how this phenomenon can be explained by modern science.
