Chapter 2: The Tunguska Explosion

"You know, I have a lot of business, and each of them can easily buy your life, so you'd better have something to do."

Jiang Yingxue's sensual voice spit out, which made her feel a little more feminine, and the mean connotation in her words made the old housekeeper on the side slightly curl the corners of his mouth, looking like he was in a good mood.

The usual cold ignorance, the usual domineering, and the real sense of fearlessness.

silently took out the red crystal nucleus and put it on the table, which made Jiang Yingxue's cold expression a little more fanatical, just like Bai Ning at the beginning.

It is precisely because he knows this commonality between the two of them that Bai Ning is so calm and unruly when facing this cold woman.

"Crystal is a thing that has been rumored since ancient times, and in the Bible, it is depicted as one of the twelve gemstones that form the foundation of the Holy City.

Crystals are also widely used in spirituality and meditation in common folk customs, crystal balls are used for divination in the West, and in Indian culture, crystals are believed to purify the mind and help people better communicate with their hearts.

The crystal coffin represents the death of the body and the eternity of the soul. ”

Jiang Yingxue picked up the crystal nucleus and looked at it a few times, and the cold touch from her fingers seemed to have a special magic, making it seem to have a little pleasure from the depths of her soul.

"If the gold and jade are in the nine orifices, the dead are immortal.

Jade immortalizes the body, and crystals are psychic and related to the human soul.

The role of the crystal coffin can be understood to some extent as a container for the human soul, so that the soul can live forever.

Trapped in this crystal nucleus is a wisp of soul that is about to collapse, from a recent spontaneous combustion of the human body. ”

Jiang Yingxue has a certain understanding of crystals, but she doesn't seem to know the true value of this crystal nucleus.

"It's a dangerous and fascinating thing, and it's interesting, but it's just interesting."

Examples of spontaneous combustion in the human body are indeed rare, and there is no orthodox medical pathological explanation, and this crystal nucleus does have something special, but it can only surprise Jiang Yingxue for a while.

"Many things don't exist in isolation, and a crystal nucleus that inhabits a few souls really doesn't mean anything.

You must have heard of the Tunguska explosion, so how much effective information does your private channel provide you with the real secrets that may be hidden behind it? ”

The meaning of the existence of the crystal nucleus is not alone, and the topic that Bai Ning threw out again made Jiang Yingxue a little surprised, not knowing what the man in front of him wanted to do.

"The study of the Tunguska explosion is not a new topic, and the limited topics are very limited, such as meteorite theory, antimatter theory, ice comet theory, alien spacecraft explosion theory, etc.

As for the real reason, there is no conclusion for the time being, why, do you want to use the crystal nucleus to summon spirits and find out the truth from the mouths of the dead souls more than a hundred years ago? ”

Jumping topics may be surprising, but Jiang Yingxue is Jiang Yingxue after all, and she will not be led by some abrupt topics.

"It is rumored that after the Tunguska explosion, animals in villages near the explosion site disappeared for no apparent reason, all the animals in the forest disappeared, and the fish and shrimp in the river disappeared.

After a while, there were some never-before-seen animals in the forest, they looked like pigs and not pigs, and they walked listlessly, and everywhere they went, the leaves fell and the flowers fell, and they withered, so the villagers raised their guns to chase and fight, but the animals ran so fast that they couldn't hit at all, and they disappeared in an instant, just like the ground.

After many more years, the newborn children in the village began to show deformities, and what was even more terrifying was that the animals that passed through the core explosion area would inexplicably spontaneously combust, and there were animal and human bones in the nearby pits.

It is precisely because of the horror of the explosion site that it is called a ghost grave by nearby residents. ”

Bai Ning's account was more similar to a disaster legend, far from Jiang Yingxue's previous scientific speculation, but the details contained in it still attracted Jiang Yingxue's attention.

"Having said all this, what you want to express most should be the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of animals.

I've also heard this part of the rumor, and scientists have attributed the explanation to a leak of gas from the Tunguska underground. ”

The underground natural gas leakage theory is also one of the many explanations for the Tunguska explosion, and Jiang Yingxue also wants to hint at Bai Ning through this kind of rhetoric, and wants to associate the spontaneous combustion of the human body with the Tunguska explosion, and this small commonality alone is not enough.

Regarding Jiang Yingxue's questioning, Bai Ning just laughed at it.

"In the general record, the situation in Russia was turbulent at the time of the Tunguska explosion in 1908, so the official roots did not have the strength to explore and verify it.

It wasn't until 1927 that scientists from the former Soviet Union went to investigate, and they dug into the ground to find nothing.

The official explanation seems plausible at first glance, but it does not stand up to scrutiny, considering that after the Tunguska explosion, a huge explosion could be heard for thousands of kilometers.

The explosion was recorded by seismic stations across the Eurasian continent, and the erratic pressure it caused was even detected by the automatic barometric pressure recorder invented by the British at the time, and the night sky in Asia and Europe took on an eerie dark red color for a few days after the incident.

Such a huge ominous omen could easily be interpreted as a sign of the destruction of the country, and it was impossible for the Tsar not to send personnel to investigate.

The unified interpretation at the official level, if interpreted from the perspective of deliberately covering up the truth, is that after Tsarist Russia sent people to find out the truth about the Tunguska explosion, some secrets were sealed by the Tsarist royal family.

It was not until the establishment of the Soviet Union that a large amount of imperial information was declassified, and this dusty past was re-investigated.

Judging from the importance of the Soviet Union at that time, they drained the explosion crater that connected Gus and dug three feet into the ground, and you say that they did not discover any secrets on the basis of the investigation of Tsarist Russia, which is unreasonable.

In addition, a large part of the urban legends related to the Tunguska explosion were circulated because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and a lot of information was no longer strictly guarded, so it was circulated in the form of urban legends. ”

Bai Ning's subsequent interpretation seemed to be pulling the cause of the Tunguska explosion to some deeper secrets, and she finally brightened up with a lot of thoughts in her mind, and her look at the red crystal nucleus was even more fanatical.

"You mean to say that this crystal nucleus is the key to the ruins of an ancient civilization?"

"Yes.

The spontaneous combustion of animals in the heart of the Tunguska explosion is probably an outward manifestation of the possibility.

As for the strange creatures that appeared in other rumors, they looked like pigs and not pigs, and everywhere they went, the leaves fell and the flowers fell, and one withered, it is possible that some creatures in the ancient ruins leaked out after the explosion.

In a word, this special crystal nucleus is the key used to open the door of mystery, and it will definitely make your trip worthwhile. ”

After exhausting all his words, Bai Ning also said this, he believed that Jiang Yingxue could not resist the temptation.

"Uncle Qian, help me get a map, I need to plan the rest of the trip."

Jiang Yingxue ordered neatly, and the matter seemed to be settled.

After a short time, a military-grade map was brought over, and after checking it a little, Jiang Yingxue opened her mouth and instructed again: "After leaving the country, take the Chita-Baikal route, and after replenishing the equipment, we will go north along the Yenisei River valley into the Tunguska region." ”

Jiang Yingxue's execution is extremely strong, the planned route is also very reasonable, and the idea of going to the primeval forest area by waterway is also the most convenient.

However, the independent name of Chita is very abrupt, you must know that there are many supply cities near Lake Baikal, and Chita is definitely not the closest, and even some remote.

In addition, Chita is also very famous in urban legends, and it is not an unknown town on the shores of Lake Baikal.

"What's the matter, can this crystal nucleus also be linked to some of the past secrets of Chita City?"

"You'll know when you go, someone will explain it to you.

In addition, I am the absolute leader of the follow-up plan, and it is useless to know more than anyone who has no value. ”

Jiang Yingxue's tough attitude bluntly pointed out the master-slave relationship between the two, and it is true, other information is thrown out by her with real money, and the cooperative relationship is not the same as information sharing.

The price of obtaining information is an equivalent exchange, and Bai Ning once again clarified the tone of working with this woman.

Jiang Yingxue's business is all over the country and abroad, and if she wants to go abroad, it is only a few phone calls, and not long after, Bai Ning and Jiang Yingxue have already taken the flight to Chita International Airport.

Jiang Yingxue, who was sitting by the window, did not appreciate the white clouds and dogs outside the window, and she didn't know if it was because of work or because she was used to seeing the magnificent scenery in the sky.

Bai Ning, who was sitting on the side, had nothing to do, but could only bow his head and ponder some things related to future expeditions.

Long-term boredom will eventually make people drowsy, this uncomfortable feeling made Bai Ning slightly surprised, and the discomfort from outside the biological clock made him decisively call the flight attendant service.

"What, airsickness?

I didn't expect you to have such an unexpected moment of vulnerability. ”

Drinking a little of the cold in the cup, Jiang Yingxue's accosting on the side made Bai Ning slightly stunned, and then felt that there was nothing.

"You can care about your companions, which shows that you attach great importance to the follow-up expedition, why, can you reveal a little bit about the follow-up content?"

Climbing up the pole, Bai Ning was indeed very interested in the secrets behind the Chita zombies.

"It's just some incidental investments, and there hasn't been any substantial progress at the moment, and hopefully some of the knowledge you have can open up the current sluggish situation."

A very blunt response, which sounds more like a very perfunctory excuse.
