As soon as the sky was glowing with white light, Zhao Chen and the others began to continue on the road, because in this desert environment, this was a rare cool time. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Chen sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window, the edge of the horizon, a round of red sun is slowly rising, and some dim world is gradually becoming clearer, this scenery is really beautiful, if you are not sitting in a high-speed car at this time, I believe that taking out a digital camera to find a good position will definitely be able to take a classic photo, and taking a beautiful photo by yourself is also a sign of success in the photography career, pseudo-photography fan Zhao Chen thought so in his heart.

Soon, they turned from the desert on this asphalt road that was not clear to the sand, this kind of small pickup truck with a raised chassis and changed tires, it was quite smooth to travel in the desert, but the height of the sand dunes made the pickup truck go up and down for a while, and basically did not keep it stable.

It's an oasis, but it's not really green, a plant that looks a bit like a giant cactus, and there's a shallow beach on the side. It's rare to have such an inlet in the desert, and that's probably thanks to a large sand hill on the edge of the shoal, which keeps the place in the shade. Zhao Chen counted, there were probably more than twenty tents, and it was not the kind of small tent they had when they camped last night, it was the kind of big tent that could park a car in it. There are all kinds of equipment in the tent, the staff who come and go are talking or handing over something, it is a magical thing to see so many people in the desert, Zhao Chen has a faint excitement when he sees this scene after more than a day of traveling without seeing people.

Just when Zhao Chen was checking the camp, he suddenly saw a familiar figure, Qin Sanqiang in a black suit! I went, I can really see this guy anywhere, so rich don't go to the villa beach to stay, like to come to the desert to bask in the sun, it is also a relatively strange person. No, since that confrontation, it seems that every time he moves around, he will appear? But soon he changed his mind, as if he had only met twice, it should be an illusion, right is an illusion.

"Professor Mike, I'm glad you can come to the archaeological site to provide us with great help!" Qin Sanqiang first stretched out his hands and tightly held the hand of Professor Michael, the leading professor of Zhao Chen.

"You're welcome, this is also from my resources, and I have agreed to your conditions, when can you take us to see the ruins?" Professor Mike shook his hand slightly and let go, seemingly disgusted by this kind of daily politeness, but this kind of habit that as long as smart people have, no one thinks anything about it.

"Professor Mike, don't worry, I'll take you to our measurement and control room to briefly introduce the situation to you, and then I'll take you to the entrance after you understand the general situation, the entrance is still some way from here, and you also know that you can't camp anywhere in the desert. Qin Sanqiang said as he looked at Zhao Chen, and smiled at him, "You're right, right? ”

Zhao Chen would not be stupid enough to answer in front of the professor to agree with the negotiating party's point of view, as if he didn't see it, he moved his eyes to the edge of a large tent in the camp, and there was a cauldron set up next to the tent, which should not be called a radar antenna, maybe it was the transmitting device of the signal received by the positioning device in the professor's hand. With so much high-tech equipment, what kind of ruins is this Qin Sanqiang detecting? And Professor Mike also had a serious face, as long as you can let me go to the scene, nothing else matters. Zhao Chen also began to be curious about this archaeological activity.

Professor Mike was invited into the command room to share some of the archaeological team's findings and some general information about the current situation, while Zhao Chen, his teaching assistant, and the students were invited to sit in another rest tent and wait for their meeting to end.

"Wow, what a luxury, to bring a refrigerator in the desert, such a big deal? ”

One of the female teaching assistants opened a standing cabinet next to it and found that it was a portable refrigerator, and it was full of drinks. Immediately everyone gathered around, because they were already a little thirsty all the way, and traveling in the desert, everyone tacitly saved the water they brought to deal with the various situations that might be encountered, and suddenly saw such a place to drink, who cares about etiquette or something, drink first and then say, and this kind of thing in the reception tent should also be used to entertain guests. Zhao Chen didn't have any psychological burden, took out the backpack he carried with him, stuffed five bottles of mineral water into it, and took a bottle of drink and a bottle of water in his hand, a person like him who had experienced Qin Sanqiang's luxurious arrangement, was not interested in this kind of drama of a refrigerator and cold drinks in the desert at all, and he felt that the guy was a little off the price this time.

After waiting for a while, Professor Mack approached them with a guide and a very elaborate map. After explaining what to bring and what to do, the guide called two Humvees and led everyone to the ruins.

After walking for about an hour, the car stopped on a small sand dune with a flagpole, which was no different from ordinary sand dunes, and looked no different from the sand dunes on the side. The only difference is the flagpole-like iron rod, which looks like a ball at the top, and the thicker and thinner it gets at the bottom. The guide turned to the monitor in his hand and said, "That's right, this is it." The guide got out of the car and walked towards the metal flagpole.

"This area is relatively windy and sandy, and some things will be covered by the wind and sand as long as it takes a while, just like the entrance to the ruins, we also found this ruins in the desert by coincidence. The guide introduced Professor Mack as he began to dig out a lot of sand from the left side of the flagpole, and everyone went up to help, and after digging for a while, some piled up stones were revealed, and the guide moved away two boulders, and then a relatively flat stone slab, and when the stone slab was lifted, there was a downward staircase, which was made up of a whole boulder. They descended the stairs, while the guide left a staff member to cover the hole directly to prevent sand from pouring into the ruins.

It stands to reason that the air in this kind of closed cave is not circulated, but this place is surprisingly slightly windy, feeling that there is a wind blowing, they go down from the narrow staircase, the more down, the space slowly becomes larger, and so on to the stone staircase to the end, it is a square space, the stone staircase is directly opposite or a stone door, the stone gate is surrounded by ancient murals, and the other two sides of this square space, are two parallel waterways, like an underground river, but not so wide, the amount of water is not large, more like two parallel underground streams, and hear the sound of water not far away, maybe there is a waterfall behind the stone gate with a relatively large drop。

"Professor Mike, the main problem we had was this stone door, we didn't know how to open it, we tried to enter through the waterway at first, but the people who went in with diving equipment lost their news. The guide pointed to the stone gate and the waterways on the left and right and said to Professor Mike.

At this time, Professor Mike was seriously looking at the murals near the stone gate and the words on the stone door, not paying attention to what the guide was saying, nor did he care about what the people around him were doing, as if he was enchanted.

"Ancient kings have been here, wars have begun here, wars have ended here, and this stone gate has ......the same meaning as the Arc de Triomphe," Professor Mack said to himself, interpreting it.

"Apprentice, press your left hand to the statue with the raised hand near the stream on the left, the one with five fingers very clearly, and the one with the jewel-encrusted bracelet on the wrist of the left hand. At this time, Zhao Chen's head suddenly sounded Master's voice.

Zhao Chen didn't care after hearing this, because at this time, everyone was looking at the words on the stone door around Professor Mike, and no one noticed what Zhao Chen was doing on the side. Zhao Chen touched it like this, and pressed his hand on the handprint on the edge of the stone wall, and at this time, Dr. McKe's side was also groping on the stone door, at this time, suddenly the stone door fell down as if it had been hollowed out below, and finally heard the sound of a heavy object falling into the water, and then Zhao Chen and the square flat bottom that they originally walked over also began to crack and collapse, but this is not like in the horror movie What mechanism touched and the sky collapsed, and when the shaking ended, a Z-shaped stone road appeared from the stone staircase to the stone gate just now, no, it should be said that it was the dirt road that looked flat around it, and at this time, it was like someone pulled off the stone slab from below, all sunken. No one was injured in this small shock, but it scared everyone, including Zhao Chen.

"Professor Mike is really powerful, he discovered the location of the mechanism in a moment, and he is indeed a genius in the archaeological field!" the guide's speech at this time caused everyone's attention to focus on Professor Mike's slightly pale face.
