Chapter Forty-Eight: The Fulcrum of the Earth

This is a professional archaeological team, its lineup is very strong, of course the cost is very high, in this modern era of high openness of the international market, any resource can be measured by money, manpower is just the most ordinary one.

The excavation was carried out in secret, and the entire site was still under blockade, since Xue Yunchu knew that there were strange things in the tunnel, he naturally would not send someone down to investigate, so he took the easiest way, that is, to expose everything, although the progress would not be fast, but he didn't care about spending more time.

Dozens of large excavators are working at the same time, after a few days of work, the original tunnel has been dug layer by layer, but to everyone's surprise, when the tunnel is all exposed, they found that there is no abnormality, and after digging up the walls on all four sides of the tunnel at the same time, no abnormality was found, and the tunnel where the disappearance occurred did not lead to any tomb, making people wonder what the purpose of those tomb robbers was. Two captives were tortured, but no valuable information was obtained.

Dozens of people walked back and forth along the dug tunnels, measuring various data with detectors.

"Doctor, we didn't find anything special about this tunnel, and it's really puzzling where the missing people went." Long Zaixing, who led the team to search, came over and reported.

"Send in a few drilling rigs and select a few lots to drill down 50 meters." Xue Yunchu touched his chin and looked at the ancient tombs that had been dug into large pits, and from time to time he could see some burial goods scattered on the ground, but they did not receive much attention at this time, and only a few archaeologists were collecting. Today's underground detection tools are still quite primitive, and they can't accurately understand what's underground, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to accurately predict the occurrence of earthquakes.

After hearing the order, Long Zaixing hurriedly left to mobilize the drilling rigs, but fortunately he had contacted a mining company earlier and could temporarily lease a few of them.

Ten days later, the entire tomb complex had been changed beyond recognition, and the hired archaeologists began to be dissatisfied, they had not seen such an archaeological practice, and they were simply digging up and completely destroying the entire structure of the tomb. Especially those towering drilling rigs, are they engaged in oil exploration, not archaeology?

"Dr. Lee, what the hell are you going to do? The archaeological discovery of such a significant ancient tribal remains must not be excavated so unplanned, which will destroy the integrity and preservation of the entire ruins! I hope you will order those people to stop this vandalism immediately, otherwise we will not be able to continue to cooperate. A leading archaeologist said solemnly, his name was James. Lero, a title of nobility bestowed upon him by the Queen of England, is a well-known expert in the field of British archaeology, who has made several major archaeological discoveries and has a wealth of experience.

"Sir Lero, I don't think you have heard a saying that better things are often hidden under good things." Xue Yunchu ignored his clamor and said flatly.

"I don't need a boring education, I just know that you are destroying an incomparably precious historical site that could make an important contribution to the study of early human history! In any case, please stop your blind behavior now, it will cause great trouble to our work. James did not budge, and with the frequent human activity, there have been few valuable archaeological discoveries, and he also hopes to rely on this discovery to continue to consolidate his position in the academic community and provide more evidence and information to several academic friends who study the early primitive social forms.

"Please be patient a little longer. I think soon something came out that was beyond our imagination. Xue Yunchu looked at the roaring drilling well not far away, and detected that some abnormalities were quietly occurring in the surrounding electromagnetic field.

"Platform 1 drill bit damaged!"

"Platform 2 drill bit damaged!"

"Platform 3 drill bit damaged!"

"Dr. Report, drilling to a hundred and thirty-five meters underground, and at the same time there is damage to the drill bit, we suspect that there is an extremely hard substance underneath," Long Zaixing said nonsense, he was also very surprised, these drill bits are made of synthetic diamond, but they themselves are not so shallow that they will have problems at the same time.

"At such a deep distance, it is impossible to dig all of them, so we can only dig out a few parallel tunnels like mining to see the details." Xue Yunchu said. Nearby, James looked equally surprised, remembering that even the hardest rock couldn't damage so many drill bits at once.

Like coal mining, nearly a month has passed, and the entire excavation process is far from complete, and they have already opened several tunnels along the corresponding depths and locations in accordance with Xue Yunchu's instructions.

The archaeological team has now become a prospecting team, and one by one they have been equipped with equipment and descended to a depth of more than 100 meters one after another, and this experience is the first time for them.

Xue Yunchu still stayed on the surface to command, he didn't want to be locked underground for any sudden changes.

"There's a big problem here! The structure of matter is completely different from what is known," James shouted over the intercom, as he was taking samples in a tunnel he had just arrived, and to his astonishment, he could not get even a small piece of what looked like soil underneath with all his might, and could only test it in situ by conventional methods.

"Really? Looks like we've found something amazing. "Xue Yunchu is still directing work on the surface, so he won't go down to explore in person, and that kind of dangerous place can't be entered for no reason.

"Yes, but we wonder what it is, how it came to be, and if the whole area is made of this material at 135 meters, what is hidden underneath? I'm so curious, this is the most powerful discovery, indestructible substances, oh my God, are they all diamonds, but no, the lasers don't react to them. James said incoherently.

Could it be that kind of thing, it is very likely that Xue Yunchu thought of a thing, but he would not say this thought.

"Tell them to continue widening the tunnel and make sure to find out where the end of the tunnel is that cannot be dug down." Xue Yunchu continued to convey orders through the walkie-talkie.

"Doctor, what's so weird? How long does it take? Jiang Minghong didn't understand why the doctor was so interested in some things, of course, there may be some things that are worth a fortune, but the most expensive antiques are only tens of millions, so there is no need to guard there personally.

Haha, if I get it right, maybe I can break the shackles on my body, I didn't expect this kind of extremely low probability of things to happen, and sure enough, only by keeping alive can there be new hope. Xue Yunchu didn't say what was in his heart, he had just tested the entire area with the ontology sensor, and found that there was something beyond the current human civilization below, and it seemed that there were some special reports that were not untargeted, but the follow-up situation was hidden by some countries.

"Ah, there's something strange, but I'm not sure yet, by the way, you personally bring me the second backup box I put with you, and I might use it." Xue Yunchu said flatly. Since it is something related to the interests of one's own life, then these ordinary people cannot be allowed to spread the news around alive, otherwise how can they be monopolized by themselves. Inside the second reserve box are some improved virus spores, which can spread quickly in a very small area, because their genetic code has been modified by Xue Yunchu, and there is a limit on reproductive generations, and if they exceed one number, they will lose their fecundity. This is just what he used to use for self-defense, and without some weapons that press the box, he can't save his life at a critical moment.

"Well, got it, I'm going to get it to you." Jiang Minghong didn't know what this box was for, and he never asked about these superfluous things.

After Xue Yunchu got the box, he continued to stay in the makeshift rest tent, listening to the progress of the project every day until four months later.

From the discovery of the strange to the final end, the whole work took more than four months beyond their imagination, which shows that the archaeological expedition is far from the usual entry into the tomb, turn a few labyrinths, guess a few puzzles correctly, and then die a few people, and finally find the treasure so exciting and tortuous.

"The whole area is more than nine kilometers in diameter, and we are excavating in eight directions at the same time, the shortest one is three kilometers, and the longest one is fifteen kilometers, this project is too long." Long Zaixing didn't know what was going to happen.

"We found an entrance, but it had weird text on it and couldn't be opened." While I was reporting to work, the walkie-talkie suddenly rang, and a hurried voice came from inside.

"Ah, not good," Xue Yunchu made a special electromagnetic fluctuation.

"What's going on, my head?" Long Zaixing fell down slowly, and when he closed his eyes, he looked at Xue Yunchu with a surprised expression.

Xue Yunchu is really strange, he hasn't been killed so soon, at least he has to wait until the secret is solved, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackey cooks, and now the rabbit has not yet shown its head, how can the dog fall down first, this is really a bad start.

He walked up to Long Zaixing, who fell to the ground, and touched his snort first, and he was still breathing, he passed out, and it seemed that he was affected by the same frequency spiritual shock wave just now.

There is still the ability to fight back, Xue Yunchu frowned, unable to determine the next plan, to this extent, it is impossible to rely on these ordinary humans, and those modified military robots cannot complete this kind of task, and their low-level circuits can not resist these electromagnetic signals either.
