In Guo Caiying's impression, experts who received higher education in China or worked in universities are somewhat less "pure" than Western scholars due to the well-known differences in academic systems. . .
But she didn¡¯t expect that as soon as she called people to volunteer to explore the secret realm, a middle-aged man behind her who was thin, with messy hair and a pale face raised his hand and said: ¡°I am willing to go, Guo Si.
This is our Chinese exploratory team. With such good luck in discovering a secret place, we can¡¯t be the first one to enter it. A Chinese American. "
"Professor Song, I will go if you go," behind the middle-aged man, Dr. Xu, who was in his thirties and had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, who had been severely criticized by Zhang Lisheng but refused to admit his mistake, gritted his teeth and said the second Said: "I have studied paleontology for more than ten years. If I don't do it myself, it is simply a joke to watch a PhD in natural resources judge the value of ancient monuments."
When Guo Caiying called for volunteers, he just casually mentioned it, thinking that those usually smooth Chinese professors and doctors would never volunteer to be the first group to venture into the 'secret realm'. Now that the situation was wrong, she couldn't help but look at her lover guiltily, showing an apology. expression.
"Miss Guo, it seems that I am not the only one here who has that outdated, Quixote-style scientific spirit." Zhang Lisheng gave the girl a nonchalant smile, and then stood on the protruding strong tree root, looking back at Hua Guo The scholar said condescendingly: "Dear Chinese scientists who are full of courage, I am honored to cooperate with you.
Curiosity has already made me feel impatient, let¡¯s get started right away. "
While Zhang Lisheng was speaking. Looking at his unfamiliar back, Duan Lianbao suddenly felt that the hidden anger in his heart was about to explode, and he almost couldn't help but chant a curse to burn the black-haired man in front of him to ashes.
But in front of the only daughter of the red leader of China, the negative impact of killing a foreign expert he personally hired for no reason made this Taoist true disciple hold back his impulse. His voice was dry and he spoke very rationally. Guo Caiying suggested: "Sir Guo, I think we should let our security team enter the secret realm first and eliminate possible dangers. Then experts can go in."
He just finished speaking. The Buddhist true disciple who has good relations with the Taoist sect also helped: "Guo Si, I think Duan Chu's words are very reasonable. The secret realm is unpredictable, and it is always helpful to be careful."
"Oh. Mr. Directors, your words brought the question back to its original point. Didn't it," the two of them just finished speaking, without waiting for Guo Caiying to answer. Zhang Lisheng showed an impatient expression and said first: "It is indeed safer to let superpowers like you enter the light gate to explore first, and then us scientists can go in.
But now we can¡¯t see any danger with the naked eye. If we want to detect hidden dangers, we have only two options. One is to conduct rigorous investigation; the other is to rely on your superpowers.
The clarity of this light gate has weakened a bit compared to before, which means that its existence has a certain time limit, so we definitely can¡¯t afford the time consumed by rigorous investigation.
This leaves only one choice, your powerful superpowers, but the island behind the light gate does not actually exist on the earth or any 'world', but is an independent subspace. No one knows that there is an abnormality inside. What will be the consequences if the ability fluctuates"
"Dr. Fu, does this light door mean anything to you? You seem to be in a hurry to get in?" Duan Lianbao suddenly interrupted Zhang Lisheng's words with a sense of uneasiness and impulse, and asked coldly.
"Of course it makes sense. It may be the most valuable research object in my life. You are not a scientist, so it is difficult to imagine the importance of a rare material to us." Zhang Lisheng said seriously: "I am not targeting you. What you said, Mr. Director, is just to explain my position and views from an objective perspective."
The young man's words made Duan Lianbao speechless for a moment. Guo Caiying on the side saw that Zhang Lisheng was obviously messing around, but he justified himself and blocked the Taoist true disciple's mouth, and took the opportunity to say: "Okay, Duan Chu, Dr. Fu, time is running out, so stop arguing.
I have thought about it, and the best way to achieve both ends is to have comrades from the Religious Affairs Bureau and experts go into the secret realm together, and if there is any danger, try to use "physical" methods to solve it.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????please make a group, immediately"
"Guo Si, this, this is not" Obviously, if there is no conflict of principle, the red noble girl should obey her orders respectfully, but an inexplicable irritation in her heart made Duan Lianbao interrupt uncharacteristically. Guo Caiying¡¯s words.
Seeing that he was so abnormal, the true disciple of Big Er, who had been helping and benefiting the Taoist sect for thousands of years, stepped in front of Duan Lianbao, clasped his hands and said, "Guo Si, you have thought carefully. This is the best of both worlds." Policy."
"Okay, then our comrades from the Religious Affairs Bureau will quickly decide who will enter the secret realm and who will stay." Guo Caiying nodded with satisfaction and ordered.
Three to five minutes later, the people who stayed in the forest and entered the light gate were grouped into groups.
Because Guo Caiying had to stay, in order to ensure her absolute safety, none of the leaders of the four sects of Taoism, Buddhism, Witchcraft, and Muslims in the exploration team would enter the secret realm, and even the true disciples, who were ranked second in strength, stayed.
This matter seems a bit absurd. Just now, I was clearly worried about the safety of the experts and argued with reason, but in the blink of an eye, my absolute strength was left outside the secret realm.
But everyone in the expedition team took it for granted. Only Zhang Lisheng, after learning about the personnel allocation, looked at Guo Caiying with a strange expression and said with a curl of his lips: "Miss Guo, after Director Duan just showed some humanistic care for scientists, , this grouping is really beyond my expectation.
Oh, it seems that even if we may all be annihilated in the light gate, you will definitely come out of the jungle safely. "
He was sensitive enough to hear Zhang Lisheng's emphasis on the words 'we', 'possible' and 'annihilation'. Guo Caiying's face changed as if because of his sarcastic tone, and then returned to normal, looking back at the young man indifferently. He smiled and said the words "find me later" very quickly with his lips.
Zhang Lisheng scratched his chin as if it was itching and nodded. He remained silent. Twenty or thirty seconds later, he and the group of people exploring the secret realm boarded the pagoda summoned by a Buddhist true disciple and walked towards the pagoda suspended more than ten meters above the ground. Meters high, the light door clings to the bark of the giant tree.
Taking one step is the transformation of the 'world'. Outside the arched round window on the fourth floor of the golden pagoda, which is one person high, the Chinese scholars standing on the eaves of the pagoda looked at the light door that was just level with themselves, and they all showed nervousness. , hesitant expression.
In a moment of excitement, they had the courage to challenge the unknown, but when the matter came, they could not help but hesitate. In fact, not only the scholars and experts, but also the younger and less experienced Chinese sect true disciples who followed came to the light gate. I also feel my heartbeat is racing and my mouth is dry.
Seeing that there was no one around to be the first warrior to eat crabs, Zhang Lisheng curled his lips, pretended to take a deep breath, and shouted loudly, "People will definitely be very nervous when facing unpredictable unknowns, but let me It is this tension that fascinates me.
Mysterious islands, mysterious rocks and trees, mysterious wooden houses, here I come. ", the first step into the light door.
The world was changing in an instant, and there was no strange feeling outside the door. But as soon as he stepped onto the stone ground of the island, Zhang Lisheng immediately felt that most of the divine power in his body began to boil slowly against his own will.
"Tiantai Mountain, this must be Tiantai Mountain. It is the Tiantai Mountain where God Wa refines stones and chops turtles to mend the sky. Great luck, this is really my great luck" Unable to restrain his ecstasy for a while, the young man murmured to himself , walked towards the wooden house in the distance.
At this time, because someone took the lead, all the Chinese explorers who had gathered their courage had entered the secret realm. As soon as they calmed down, someone looked at Zhang Lisheng's back and shouted: "Dr. Fu, stop quickly. Don¡¯t act on your own.¡±
"Ask me to stop, then I will stop" Zhang Lisheng came back to his senses, thought for a while, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and stopped.
In order to prevent Guo Caiying from receiving any criticism for herself, she began to perform the last scene of the live drama.
What stopped Zhang Lisheng was the scientific person in charge of the secret exploration team, the thin middle-aged man who was the first to be called by Guo Caiying¡¯s volunteers. When he saw the young man stop, he immediately followed with other scientists.
Standing at a high place with a wide view, he carefully looked at the surrounding environment. The expression of the thin middle-aged man gradually became excited, "This seems to be the environment of a rock base island. It seems that the trees and weeds are growing out of the rocks." of.
Dr. Xu, go collect plant specimens and find out whether those trees and weeds sprouted from the soil and pushed through the rocks, or whether they took root directly in the rocks. If it is the latter, our harvest this time will be great.
The air quality here is really good and fresh. It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t bring any equipment to analyze gas components. Mr. Xu, I think it¡¯s a bit difficult for Dr. Xu to collect so many types of specimens by himself. How about you help me?
Dr. Liu, please check the island's rock foundation and see if you can determine the year of formation. By the way, Dr. Guo, aren't you a natural resources major? Please help Dr. Liu analyze the rock foundation types. This should be your major.
"Gong Zheng, let's go take a look at the wooden house over there. I think the style should belong to the early Iron Age style, but the carvings on the eaves are so exquisite. What do you think?" "
¡°The rectangular house foundation is indeed from the iron age."The architectural style of the early Hemudu civilization, but" After listening to the thin middle-aged man's words, a tall young man with a round face who had been walking side by side with him looked at the wooden house and frowned and replied, while other Chinese scientists also pressed their respective buttons. The division of labor was busy with their own work. Only Zhang Lisheng followed the thin middle-aged man regardless, walking towards the wooden house step by step. (To be continued)
