It was already past 10 o'clock when the plane took off. When Lin Fan woke up, it was about two hours later and it was time for dinner.
Everyone gathered together for lunch again, and Lin Fan still ate a lot.
In order to carry one less backpack when getting off the plane, she ate all the snacks in her bag in the afternoon.
It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when we landed in Sijiu City... Oh, no, that's the time in Country P. The local time was 11 o'clock the next morning.
The half day I lost when I went to Country P was made up this time.
But the day was not followed by the night, but by another day, which Lin Fan was not used to.
Jet lag, jet lag! Jet lag is the body's reaction to the outside world.
Because Lin Fan had a nightmare on the plane, although he said he was fine after waking up, he seemed to be affected and felt a little depressed.
The old man specifically asked Cen Fangyuan to notify the Special Affairs Office to pick someone up.
He believes that in this situation, staying in a familiar environment and being accompanied by acquaintances will make her feel more comfortable psychologically than returning to Taiwan with them.
After learning about this, Lin Fan agreed deeply. After getting off the plane, he said goodbye to everyone one by one. After picking up his luggage, he was led by the staff out of the normal exit like other returning people.
Everyone around was pushing luggage carts piled high with bags of all sizes. Lin Fan, who was pushing only one suitcase, stood out from the crowd.
"Here!" John Woo saw her at a glance and waved his arms high.
It was the first time that Lin Fan was picked up at the airport. Although it was a little different from what was shown on TV, he still felt quite happy.
Wu Yusen took the suitcase naturally. "How was it? Did the journey go smoothly?"
"Hmm..." Lin Fan thought for a moment. "It went pretty smoothly, but there were some issues along the way."
"Oh?" Wu Yusen looked at her again, confirming that she was no different from when he sent her out. Then he said nonchalantly, "I don't think it's serious."
Lin Fan thought of the nightmare on the plane again and shook his head slowly. "It's really hard to say. The situation is a bit complicated."
Wu Yusen took one look at her surprised expression and knew that this was not the place to talk, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Oh my, John Woo, you are so mean. You picked up Lin Fan but didn't even wait for me!" A loud complaint came from the side.
Lin Fan turned around and saw Xue Ping approaching with a few cups of coffee. "Long time no see, Lin Fan."
He dressed up specially today, his hair was neat and he had no stubble. As for his clothes... he was still so unruly, like a playboy.
"Long time no see," Lin Fan remembered. He last saw him in that sinkhole before the Lunar New Year. "Are you done?"
She had heard John Woo say before that he hadn't finished his mission, and she had thought that a cave that hadn't been fully explored for so long must be incredibly difficult. She hadn't expected to see it today.
"I'm always busy. I'm just taking a break to catch my breath. Here!" Xue Ping handed her a cup of coffee with a smile, and then handed the other cup to Wu Yusen very unceremoniously, "Here, you got a bargain!"
Lin Fan thanked him and asked as they walked, "So, after exploring for so long, what have you found?"
The people around were walking in groups of three or four, and there was a large distance between each group, so normal conversations could not be heard at all.
Furthermore, in such a busy place, everyone is immersed in the joy of meeting friends and reuniting with each other, and few people pay attention to what others say.
"Do you believe me if I say that nothing has been found out?" Xue Ping rolled his eyes helplessly and sighed.
He didn't have a good year and stayed in that cave for almost two months.
We have been exploring along the numerous passages and have now reached a very deep place. Many of the mechanisms have been destroyed, but there have been almost no substantial discoveries.
There is still no sign of Hengjue that the thousand-year-old ancestor mentioned.
But it’s not to say that there was no discovery at all.
Judging from the tunnel and the area that has been explored, it can be basically confirmed that the cave was once an ancient relic.
And the time is not ordinary ancient.
According to the formation time of incomplete stone samples, the formation time of this cave may be around 3,000 BC.
What is the concept?
The earliest dynasty that can be traced back in history is the Xia Dynasty, which was established in 2070 BC.
In other words, the existence of this cave predates the establishment of the Xia Dynasty...
This is simply...
It is truly a miracle in the archaeological world that such ancient relics can be discovered so well preserved today.
But the Special Affairs Office did not notify the archaeological department.
The state of the buildings and passage structures in the cave is obviously inconsistent with the productivity level of people at that time.
They even suspected that there was something wrong with the testing period, but after repeated testing, the result was the same.
That is to say, around 3,000 BC, before the Xia Dynasty, there was a technological era that they were unaware of.
The deeper you explore, the more pronounced this technological power becomes. The mechanisms are intricate and ingenious, even featuring gear-like structures...
If the so-called historians knew about this discovery, they would probably go crazy.
But their protective excavations did not mean much for the caves with stone walls.
The Special Affairs Office also has specialized staff who have very in-depth historical research and are much more reliable than those so-called experts.
Under their guidance, Xue Ping led his men to go deeper, trying their best to preserve the original state of the ruins without destroying them.
At the same time, those staff members who are well versed in history take on the archaeological work and keep records of meaningful graphic symbols and other things.
When Xue Ping left, they had already explored to a location about ten kilometers from the surface.
But a door stood in front of them.
"A door?" Lin Fan recalled what Xue Ping had said before. He had always talked about passages and mechanisms, but never mentioned a door.
"Yes, a door. It looks like stone, but also like metal. We're not sure, but we can't break it open no matter what we do." Xue Ping shook his head helplessly, "Doesn't this mean we're at our wit's end? We're just taking a break."
I can't find the mechanism, my brain is useless, and the cracking tools are all useless.
They even had a few small explosions, but it was of no use.
As the dosage increased, dust began to fall from the top of the passage, but the door remained motionless.
I don't dare add any more because it will affect the tunnel structure. This is underground after all, and being buried alive in there is no fun.
The group had no choice but to retreat and think of another way.
So, regarding this exploration, you said you found something, and it seems that there was.
But if we really have to say what it is, maybe it is the culture from five thousand years ago?
Anyway, Xue Ping felt very bored, and when he reported to Zhu Cunjun, he looked listless.
"Maybe... we can let Xingchen give it a try." After listening to his report, Zhu Cunjun suddenly gave him a solution in another direction.
Xue Ping then remembered that the hardness of the star is said to be the hardest on the planet.
If she goes, won't it be a relief?
The depressed person suddenly regains his vitality.
It just so happened that Zhu Cunjun received a notice from the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, asking John Woo to go to the airport to pick up Lin Fan, so he took the opportunity to go along with him.
Xue Pingle was so excited that he wanted Lin Fan to help him solve the problem, and he didn't even consider the possibility that Xingchen wouldn't be able to break the door either.
But if it really comes to that, behind that door...
What's behind the door? Hmm? Guess.
I think Baozi commented on my post this morning, but it was gone when I checked at noon. Did I remember it wrong?
