Chapter 186: Ancient Ruins
While Blacksmith Barton was hesitating, a scientific expedition composed of many strong men had quietly driven into the Baltic Sea.
No one knew what the whereabouts and purpose of the expedition were, just as no one knew that the blacksmith of Patton was going to secretly send the debt-ridden little guy away. Sometimes, keeping a little bit of low-key and mysterious is one of the most important ways to save yourself from the troubles around you.
If you want to get it, you must first hide it, and the philosophers often say that lightning strikes at the highest place, and moths pounce on the brightest place. If you want to eliminate the threat of pretenders who are more powerful than lightning and more deadly than moths, it is better to hide them from the first place. The leader of this expedition team is obviously well versed in this.
You must know that in this era of extreme admiration of force and emphasis on the law of the jungle, there is no shortage of outlaws who dare to compete with the government for food. This can be seen from the excavation process of the ancient ruins. Almost everywhere there is a scientific expedition, there must be those explorers. They are like moths parasitic on the body of sea beasts, not only absorbing the nutrients of the host, but also destroying the host's body to a pulp. Many precious historical materials, science and technology, were destroyed in the hands of these moths because of this, and historians always feel heartache whenever they think of these.
Some things have not been destroyed in the drastic changes of the environment and the changes of the times, but they have been destroyed in the hands of our modern people. It's really regrettable, but it's also human nature, maybe as long as there are people, or even as long as there are civilized places, this situation is unavoidable. After all, as long as it is an intelligent creature. It is inevitable to have greed.
It's just that this kind of tyrannical behavior is indeed too intolerable sometimes! It's no wonder that many Orthodox people are constantly attacking the damned diggers, calling them thieves, robbers, and sinners of history.
Similarly, no one could have imagined that a seemingly ordinary piece of metal picked up on the beach could make such a big wave. It's like no one could have thought of it. A second ago, I was doing nothing. The little-known middle-aged blacksmith already has the qualifications that others dream of and go down in history in the next second! And the little boy who was still worried about debts one second ago has become a well-known big man the next second. A great discoverer. And a millionaire too!
It's just a little piece of metal. completely changed their fate, so that they don't have to worry about life for the rest of their lives. "Success and fame, leave a name in history. The luck of these two guys is so good that it makes people crazy with jealousy! This is the exclamation of a famous talk show host on the home planet thousands of years later when he tells the story of the blacksmith and the little boy.
This may be the magic of fate! Sometimes, good luck is also a manifestation of human ability. Fate is like a kaleidoscope that changes rapidly, unconsciously changing a person's identity and status. Its unpredictability has brought infinite excitement to a person's life. It is hard to imagine how boring and sad it would be for a person to be able to control his own destiny!
Maybe this kind of thinking is a bit extreme!
Like most legends, with the passage of time, this otherwise ordinary journey of discovery will inevitably be covered with a veil of mystery and even fantasy in the future. And this has been proven today. This may be the bad taste of fate, which makes a small person history, and makes history a legend.
The story goes back to the Baltic Sea more than 4,000 years ago, when the blacksmith prepared his bags and boat tickets, and was saying goodbye to the boy, a news that shocked the world finally came out. In the heart of the Baltic Sea, a huge archaean ruins have been discovered.
This is exactly the result of the mysterious scientific expedition for several months. When the specific situation was not clear and there were many private salvage ships around, the scientific expedition team used the most advanced seabed detection equipment at that time, and after several surveys and comparisons, finally determined the location of the ruins in a sea area in the center of the Baltic Sea. Later, when the government of the home planet was fully involved, the news was officially announced. It's painstaking.
However, as the mystery of the ruins was gradually revealed, people really realized how wise and well-intentioned the leader of the expedition team was at that time.
There really are ancient relics in the Baltic Sea! As soon as this news came out, the whole world was shocked. This may be another coincidence of fate, so that history and legend just coincide!
How big are the ruins? Inside news, huge! The blacksmith and the little boy don't have any idea of how big it is, anyway, they just know how big it is! As for how big it is, I'm afraid only people who really know the inside story can know! Maybe at this moment, even those who really know the inside story may not know! Because the ruins haven't really been developed yet?
It is important to know that from the beginning of the Dayan period to the present, although a lot of ancient ruins have been discovered, there are very few that can really be called huge. But every time such a huge relic is discovered, it can bring a huge change to the development of mankind.
Robot technology, space battleship technology, interstellar voyage system, etc., these incomplete techniques excavated in the huge ruins have all provided an important scientific theoretical basis for the leapfrog development of human productive forces. It can be said that without them, these ancient human beings left behind technology and relics, human beings would never have ushered in the age of astronautics in such a short period of time, let alone realize interstellar migration! That's simply not possible.
Therefore, as soon as the news of the discovery of the Great Ruins was revealed, it instantly triggered a huge reaction. The president of the home planet at that time and the Senate jointly issued a statement. He said that he would mobilize the strength of the army to protect the safety of the excavation site near the Baltic Sea, and ensure the successful completion of the excavation mission while deterring the small and small ones. And this kind of situation has rarely happened in the past 4,000 years of the Great Yan Period. This also fully shows that the big figures in the upper echelons of the government attach great importance to this newly discovered relic.
In fact, not only the big guys, but also the vast majority of ordinary free people have great expectations for the development results of this great ruin. But not only because they care about current affairs, but more importantly, it is also closely related to their interests.
The bigger the ruins, the more dangerous they are, this is almost an immutable law in the archaeological world! Similarly, the excavation process of this ruins was not all smooth sailing, and it can even be said to be extremely dangerous.
On the first day of exploration, two people died to serve the strong, and one to serve the strong, which also shows the high danger of this ruin, even the strong people in the ground service can easily fall, let alone the strong people in the ground service! But the greater the danger, the higher the value of the ruins. This is also a well-established theory in the archaeological community.
Although a series of protective measures have been taken to reduce casualties, casualties are still inevitable in this process of fighting wits and courage with predecessors across time and space. And as the exploration deepened, the casualties became larger and larger, and at the end of the day, even the Tianfu powerhouses had fallen! (To be continued.) )
