Chapter 507: Vicissitudes of Life

On the other side, about a distance of dozens of kilometers, two cars were parked in a leeward position, two cars, two people.

At this time, the two of them were roasting on fire, and the surroundings were silent, only the sound of the whirring wind, and the people who listened were terrified.

Originally, it stands to reason that this kind of lofty task of pursuing the gods would not be the turn of these two newcomers who had just joined the peripheral organization.

In fact, the arrangement at the organizational meeting was made by a few big leaders.

However, the times are developing, and the leaders, as businessmen, are all keeping pace with the times, and you let them take the least amount of money, or even pay backwards, and play sand racing in the desert, which is a joke, yes, they choose to outsource.

Under layers of outsourcing, the original 300,000 yuan of funds became 100,000, and the number of participants also became two.

Newcomers belong to those who have dreams, and they are too young.

was fooled by the boss above, what did you say, such a critical task is handed over to your brothers, that is the organization's fancy to you.

In short, after some words, two young people with dreams poured money on their own and came to do tasks in a hurry.

At the same time, in order to save money, they did not look for a guide, but made up for a few days of desert survival knowledge, felt that they could do it, and then went on.

"Brother, I'm homesick."

Finally, the slightly fatter young man spoke, and as he spoke, he shivered and sneezed.

"I've thought about it a little too, so it's better to ......."

The other young man responded, and the two looked at each other, thinking of going together.

The next morning, the two cars sped off into the desert.

……

"Stop!"

Two more days passed, and on this morning, Professor Jetoff abruptly stopped the convoy, and then got out of the car and looked up and down.

"This place used to seem to be a river, hundreds of meters wide!"

Professor Jetoff said.

"In Sumerian mythology, the river brought life, and thousands of years ago, it was a forest."

Zhao Cheng said.

"The existence of rivers proves that we are not in the wrong place."

As he spoke, Zhao Cheng turned out half a shell in the sand.

"In older times, it would have been a sea."

"Indeed, according to the plate movement hypothesis, many landmasses were once oceans, including this one under our feet, the Tucker Desert, where fossils of primeval marine life were found."

Professor Jetoff nodded.

"In the face of the power of time, the vicissitudes of life seem to be only a moment, but for human beings, this moment is a time calculated in hundreds of millions of years, not to mention the universe, compared with the planets under their feet, human beings are too small."

Professor Jetteff sighed.

"Of course, human beings also have something unique, that is, civilization, a brilliant civilization, a stone has gone through trillions of years, it is only a stone, if a civilization has gone through trillions of years, it may create miracles."

……

After that, a few people took pictures here, and then the group continued on their way.

It was another three days, and at this time, the group had gone deep into the Tucker Desert, and at this depth, the landscape became wonderful, and the color of the gravel on the ground was constantly changing.

On the way, the group also encountered some oases, which were all small and not large, and there were few people among them.

More than 100 years ago, there were some people living in the desert oases, but now, most of them have migrated.

Not only is the area of the oasis reduced by the further desertification of the land, but the most important thing is that the desert is isolated from the world, and the civilized world of flowers and flowers is what people yearn for.

The group was in the oasis, replenishing part of the water.

In the afternoon of that day, the convoy came to an abrupt halt.

Because the landscape in front of you is extremely shocking to people's eyes, and even a little incredible.

It was a brown stone forest, which existed in the open air, and the height of the stone forest was not high, the highest was only more than two meters high, but it could be seen that the larger place, buried in the sand, was only the tip of the iceberg.

"This place, which used to seem to have been buried in the sand, was exposed by the winds as the land became more desertified, causing a lot of sand and dust to be swept away by the wind."

Professor Jetoff said that he is not a geology major, but he is not an ordinary person, and he still knows some basic knowledge of this area.

Professor Jeff, his eyes widened at this time, and the rest of the team was also amazed, even Zhao Cheng was a little emotionally moved by the power of nature and the power of time.

The stone forest is a stone, but the key is not this, but the fossils mixed in the stone.

A few days ago, they just talked about the fact that this place used to be the ocean, and now they have seen this small stone forest.

The area of the stone forest is not large, at a glance, it can be seen that the width of about a few hundred meters is also very sparse, it is said to be a stone forest, in fact, many places, there is only a little convex.

The crowd did not destroy the place and excavate the idea of fossils, but in the sand, one person picked up a few stones with fossil veins as a souvenir.

Prehistoric sea creatures, all relatively large, are only partially organized, or even only a very small part, with veins on fossil fragments.

In fact, in this era, in the deep sea, there are still huge sea monsters like prehistoric creatures.

Zhao Cheng has a lot of say in this point, because he has eaten it raw before, and the taste is actually okay, but the meat is a little old.

Among the many sea monsters, the deep-sea octopus is the most delicious.

The group stayed in front of the stone forest for a short time, and used special instruments to calculate the latitude and longitude coordinates.

After that, the crowd went around.

"Legend has it that after the collapse of the Sumerian dynasty, the ancient Babylonian dynasty was born, and in addition to the hanging gardens, it also used gold to forge the wonder of a golden city, which was used to highlight the greatness of civilization."

That night, just after dark, the group talked about the kingdom of ancient Babylon after dinner.

This time, however, the group was not spending the night in the sand, but an oasis, an oasis of one square kilometer.

On the oasis, there is still a group of people.

The people here have reddish-brown skin color, and their language and civilization are still hundreds of years ago, so Zhao Cheng made a cameo appearance as a linguist, and was warmly welcomed by the people here.

Of course, Zhao Cheng and his entourage also left some materials brought by the outside world.

For people in the civilized world, compressed food is naturally not a delicacy, but it is different here.

While eating, Zhao Cheng and the others also witnessed a dance that was said to come from the distant Babylonian dynasty, which was performed only when entertaining the most distinguished guests.

Therefore, after the meal, they talked about the ancient Babylonian dynasty.

"If the City of Gold really exists, it should not be gold that is used to forge it, but brass." "If the Babylonian dynasty discovered a huge chalcopyrite and used it to build a wonder, it is not unlikely."

Zhao Cheng and Professor Jettef discuss.

"There is indeed such a view in the academic world, in ancient times, many civilizations had the thing of treating brass as gold."

Professor Jetoff nodded.
