Chapter 1 The Pyramid Under the Yellow Sand
In the world of yellow sand, a jeep is speeding forward, and the tire prints left on the sand are blown by the wind and disappear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Opening the car window and letting the dry wind of the Gobi blow on his face, Ding Yuanyang didn't feel the slightest coolness, threw his mobile phone aside a little impatiently, picked up the kettle and poured it violently, and then complained to the old man next to him: "Professor, why do we have to come to this kind of ghost place where there is no mobile phone signal, what if we get into extinction." ”
It is rumored that hundreds of years ago, it was still a giant lake, but at this time it has been reduced to the world of yellow sand, and the sand-covered areas have been flooded by the lake, so you can imagine how huge the lake was at the beginning.
It is also the source of the extinction catastrophe that began a hundred years ago, with the yellow sand spreading outward, and the air is like a hidden plague, causing the entire world to disappear dramatically. Only a few people know about this, and the external propaganda is only about the deterioration of the environment, and the current disaster is more serious in districts 12 and 11.
Hearing his question, the old man took his eyes off the newspaper in his hand, took out one of them and handed it over, saying, "Look at this." ”
Ding Yuanyang took it angrily, and a few big bold characters in the newspaper took up half of the page: the Great Wonder of the World, a giant stone tower hidden under the yellow sand of the desert. He glanced at it casually, and the content reported in it was not much different from what he had seen in the previous news.
"I've seen this a long time ago, isn't it just a pyramid, what's there to see. As soon as he finished speaking, the car shook violently, causing him to crash headfirst into the roof of the car.
"Beauty, this is the second time, if you can't do it, you should change it to me. Ding Yuanyang hurriedly grabbed the handle with both hands, and cautiously suggested to the woman who was driving, afraid that he would say the wrong thing and make her unhappy and brake suddenly, which was how he was embarrassed before.
"It's a problem with the car, not with my skills, and, again, call me a butterfly. The woman replied coldly, this was the third sentence she said after getting into the car.
"Okay, Miss Butterfly, can you tell us the purpose of this trip? After all, we have explored this area repeatedly, but we have not been able to find the cause of the extinction of species, and if it is about the pyramids, we are not engaged in archaeology, but in botany, and it has nothing to do with that thing. Ding Yuanyang looked at the graceful back in front of him, and felt that his throat was a little thirsty after drinking water, he had seen a lot of beautiful women, but he could count them with his fingers like this.
"You'll know when you get there. The woman said no more, and a pair of phoenix eyes stared ahead, I really don't know how she found her way from the endless sand dunes.
"Thorny roses. Ding Yuanyang muttered, then turned his head and looked out the car window at the sand dunes that flickered by.
I remember that three months ago, a news about the ancient country of the Warsaw Pact suddenly circulated on the Internet, and the archaeological community flocked to carry out rescue excavations, but what people didn't expect was that it was a huge stone pyramid dug out of the ground in the end.
There are different opinions from the outside world, and for a while, it is impossible to explain why there is a nondescript building in this forbidden area of life.
Ding Yuanyang only knew so much, and he was excited for a while, but as time went by, his enthusiasm for this matter gradually faded, and it was just a discovery in the archaeological world, which had nothing to do with the botany he studied.
But now it doesn't seem to be like that, otherwise the above would not have sent this "Ice Rose" to pick up their mentor.
But what made him depressed was that although the old man brought himself here, he refused to say what he was going to do, and finally a beautiful woman knew the inside story, but he was also silent, and he didn't even say much, and he was stuffy in this carriage for a few hours, if it wasn't the desolate Gobi outside, he really wanted to escape from this ghost place.
Although he told the old professor just now that he was afraid of contracting extinction disease, he just casually said that the air here is very clean, and he and the professor are specialized in studying this thing, but it is not clear what causes it.
However, it is certain that it is not a pathogen such as a virus, because whether it is an animal or a plant, as long as it is in this area, it will gradually disappear, and this disappearance is more terrible than death, and the reproduction rate within the species and races is decreasing at a terrifying rate until it is completely extinct, but because it has nothing to do with the source of the disease, people dare to step into the forbidden area of life in the twelfth area.
The sun slowly approached the horizon, shining red on the distant sand dunes, the clear sky was dotted with stars, and the wind was whistling into the car window, and the fiery desert was a little cool at this time, waking up Ding Yuanyang, who didn't know when he was asleep.
When he opened his eyes in a daze, the sight in front of him suddenly made him sleepless, and the car was slowly driving into a huge elliptical pit, looking up at the sky, as if he was in a huge well.
In the center of the crater is the giant pyramid, the top of which seems to be a cut above the crater, and the bottom of the pit is brightly lit, like a secret base.
Although the master and apprentice have been prepared, and they have seen photos on the Internet, the appearance of such a behemoth in front of them will always make people feel inexplicably excited.
"It's unbelievable that there can be such huge buildings underground. Ding Yuanyang was completely shocked, forgetting that he still didn't care about it before.
The professor took off the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and put his head to the window: "It's really great, is this still a human doing, even if there is no such thing in it, this trip is worth it." ”
Ding Yuanyang just wanted to agree, but immediately reacted: "Wait a minute, professor, what did you mean by what you just said?"
"I'll tell you when I see that thing, otherwise you won't believe it, if there is no one in it, this time I should be here for a tour. Professor Yang explained that he was the one who would speak only when he was sure about something.
Ding Yuanyang shrugged his shoulders, and secretly thought to himself, what kind of medicine was sold in this old man's gourd. But he didn't continue to ask, he didn't have the patience to break the casserole to ask to the end.
The car made a detour along the winding road of the pit wall to the bottom, passing at least three sentry posts, and finally came to a steady stop outside a row of tents, where there were already people waiting in front of him, roughly in his fifties, squinting slightly under the headlights, and at first glance he knew that he was a trained soldier.
"Welcome to you, old friend. Seeing that the car stopped, the soldier hurriedly stepped forward and opened the car door for Professor Yang as he spoke.
"Haha, Lao Li, is the news reliable this time?" The professor was not polite to him, and got out of the car and asked directly, the fake news provided by this guy last time made him miserable, and he searched for several months in the deep mountains and old forests in the first district but found nothing.
"Don't worry this time, I've already seen the things, just waiting for you to come over, go this way, go in and we'll talk slowly." The old soldier pointed to the tent ahead.
"Otherwise, we'll go in there now. Professor Yang wanted to go in the direction of the pyramid as he spoke, and he was a little impatient from the moment he received the news, but as soon as he finished speaking, his stomach made an inopportune sound, which made his old face red.
After staying in the car for a long time and not eating anything except water, Ding Yuanyang was also hungry at this time, let alone an old man, the soldier known as Lao Li obviously expected this situation, and urged Professor Yang: "Let's go and eat the meal first, don't worry about other things." ”
Professor Yang touched his stomach and had to agree, he didn't want to work hungry, Ding Yuanyang and Butterfly followed into the tent, only to see that there were still two people sitting inside, it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time, staring greedily at the dishes on the table, and finally picked up the chopsticks with relief when they saw someone come in.
Yang Ye is a leading figure in the botanical community of the entire twelve regions, Ding Yuanyang is his student, and Li Guozhong, who invited them to come, is the person in charge of this excavation of the pyramid, because of the relationship between his father, and Yang Ye are friends who have known each other for many years.
In addition, the two who were hungry and stupid, among them, the man who was fatter and laughed like Maitreya was called Yuan Zhenghua, who was a construction engineer. Bai Yong, who was sitting next to him, had the opposite figure, although he looked thin, the muscles on his arms were very strong, giving people a feeling like a spirit ape, which may have something to do with his identity as an explorer.
Among them, only the woman who called herself a butterfly never opened her mouth from beginning to end, taking a small bite to herself, and even Li Guozhong didn't mention a word about her identity, so Ding Yuanyang was embarrassed to ask.
"By the way, where did that old guy Mo Chen go, I heard that he had already come. Yang Ye wiped his mouth and asked, although he was hungry, he couldn't eat much.
"He and a few other archaeologists studied it all day, and I was not sure that they would all go to rest, but now there is no conclusion, this pyramid is really too strange. Li Guozhong shook his head slightly, this is not good news for him, after all, more than three months have passed, and there is no result at all.
"Oh, it's rare that you, the person in charge, say it's weird, what's the inside story?" Yang Ye said with some interest.
"It's empty, not even a single artifact, just the stone in the center has some value, and it has what you want and some reliefs. As for the other aspects of the pyramid, he is an expert. Li Guozhong said and pointed to Yuan Zhenghua, who had already finished eating.
Yuan Zhenghua nodded, took over and said: "I won't introduce other things that have been reported, there are a few strange points in it, one is that many instruments can't be used in the pyramid, and they can return to normal after they come out, there should be an unusually strong magnetic field, and the second strange thing is that we did carbon 14 dating of this building, and the result is really incredible, it is at least four or five thousand years old, you must know that this place was still a lake at that time." ”
Yuanyang knew a little about the desert region, and analyzed according to the engineer's words: "The catastrophe of species extinction began to appear a hundred years ago, and it happened that the lake dried up at that time, and the land appeared to desertify, that is, the pyramid buried under the yellow sand at this time was built at the bottom of the lake. ”
"I'm sure it wasn't an ordinary person who built it, because the strangest thing is..."Yuan Zhenghua paused, watching the master and apprentice staring at him dizzyingly, and then continued with satisfaction: "This pyramid is a whole. ”
Ding Yuanyang didn't understand what he meant, and asked, "What do you mean by being a whole?"
"Do you know concrete?" Yuan Zhenghua looked at Ding Yuanyang and nodded, then explained: "We found that the entire pyramid is like being poured concrete, without a single gap, that is, it seems to be carved out of a whole rock like this. ”
Ding Yuanyang's eyes widened, he really couldn't believe these words, where could he find such a huge rock in this vicinity, and with today's scientific and technological power, it is impossible to move this behemoth!
"The pyramid outside is so magical, the things inside may really be it, Lao Li, can you arrange to go in now?" Yang Ye couldn't sit still after hearing this, and wanted to go in immediately to find out.
"As long as you're okay, I'm always there. Li Guozhong chuckled, it hasn't changed for so many years, and his old friend is still anxious.
