    After hearing this, everyone turned and left the hall, following Zuo Dengfeng dejectedly. Zuo Dengfeng's judgments were rarely wrong. If his judgment was correct this time, things would be really difficult.  "Don't worry too much. The worst result is that the meteorite is smelted away. This result is not the worst. What's more, what we are looking for is a meteorite that fell from high altitude. There is a high possibility that the meteorite will just fall on Xuanwu's back.  Xiao, besides, if I really want to go into the water, it¡¯s not your turn.¡± Zuo Dengfeng saw that everyone was in a low mood, so he forced a smile and offered words of comfort.  "If your big tree falls, none of us hozens will survive." Wan Xiaotang also joked. Ever since Jia Zhen was frozen, she has been in a good mood.  "Master Zuo, let's search this island as soon as possible, and then go to the northern island to check again." Da Tou shook the instrument from side to side.  "Go ahead, don't go more than fifty miles, that's my limit." Zuo Dengfeng nodded after hearing this. The instrument in Datou's hand is the most accurate. Instead of spending a lot of time reasoning and guessing, it is better to search the entire island as quickly as possible.  .  "Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible." The big head rose into the sky and swept towards the northwest.  Everyone was extremely tired after a long journey. When passing by the palace, Zuo Dengfeng left Wan Xiaotang and others behind. Scarab led the way and rushed to the north side of the East City with confidence.  After a while, the two of them and Thirteen came to the northeast of the ancient city. This was a large building, covering an area of ??about five acres. Four stone buildings with sloped roofs were closely connected together. There were no gaps in the connections, and there was a gap in the middle area.  The stone flue is about ten feet higher than the roof. From the first sight, it looks like a huge warehouse, but the existence of the chimney makes it somewhat similar to a factory building. The entrance of the building is located on the south side, high  It is about ten feet wide and is made of metal double doors. The door is closed at this time and there is no latch on the door.  "This kind of door usually opens outwards. Try pulling it." Zuo Dengfeng pointed at the door. There were a bunch of wrist-thick chains under the left and right door leaves of the door. These two chains undoubtedly acted as handles.  Hearing this, Scarab stepped forward and tentatively reached out to touch the pile of chains.  "It doesn't bite." Zuo Dengfeng said. He needed to allocate a large amount of spiritual energy to protect the big head at this moment, otherwise he would have done it himself.  "Zhenren Zuo is joking. If the temperature is too low, a layer of skin will stick to it." The scarab reached out and grabbed the chain, and pulled it backwards. The two doors were extremely heavy, and the scarab opened the two doors with gritted teeth and eyes.  A gap of about meters.  "Okay." Zuo Dengfeng said, practicing people can see things at night without full light.  Zuo Dengfeng stood outside the door and looked at the situation, and found that there was a huge field-shaped space inside, with a large number of things piled everywhere. The most conspicuous things were located in the southwest, which were two wooden boats that looked like submarines.  Just when Zuo Dengfeng probed to check, Thirteen had already taken the lead and ran in. Zuo Dengfeng was worried about Thirteen's safety and followed him.  "They actually built a submarine." Scarab followed Zuo Dengfeng and entered.  Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this. The first thing he felt after entering this huge space was the change in temperature. Compared with the outside world, it was much warmer here.  There are partitions on the east and west sides of this field-shaped area. Currently, only the southwest and southeast can be seen. Placed in the southwest are the two strange submarine-like ships. The two ships are not very big, and are about 100 meters long.  It is more than ten meters long and is in the shape of a fusiform, wide in the middle and narrow at both ends. The widest part in the middle is about three meters. The hull is made of wood and the entrance is at the bottom. Overall, it looks more like a hot air boat than a submarine.  The two wooden submarines were set up. When Zuo Dengfeng looked at the submarine sideways, Thirteen jumped on top of the submarine. Cats have the habit of climbing and sharpening their claws, and Thirteen was no exception.  The submarine immediately stretched out its claws and started scratching. The best thing to sharpen its claws is wood.  However, Thirteen's claws did not grasp it firmly. With one claw, he directly grabbed the board and made a gap several centimeters long. Seeing that something was wrong, Thirteen immediately jumped down. With one leap, his hind legs kicked out two more holes on the boat.  A hole.  ¡°It¡¯s like this.¡± Scarab was shocked when he saw this. He had thought that the wooden submarine could still be used, but he didn¡¯t expect it to be so weak.  "It's been too long. The temperature here is not very low, and the wood has rotted." Zuo Dengfeng stepped forward and poked his finger, directly piercing it.  Zuo Dengfeng peeled off the wooden board and probed into the cabin. He found that the interior of the wooden submarine was empty. The structure of the submarine was also extremely simple and had no power system. There were several metal rings acting as a skeleton inside and covered with long wooden boards.  , put a metal hoop on the wooden board, and there is an oval buffer area under the cabin, which is as tall as one person and as thick as two arms. The bottom cover is movable. This buffer area should haveThe first function is to put people down after reaching the water and work in the water, and the second is to release the ballast stone after the operation is completed to allow the submarine to float. The piece of wood discovered by outsiders should have been the buffer area under the submarine.  lid.  "Zhenren Zuo, can it still be repaired?" Scarab saw Zuo Dengfeng looking at the submarine up and down, thinking that he wanted to repair it.  "It can't be repaired." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and said. He only wanted to study the submarine to figure out its working principle. It was an occupational disease cultivated by culture to seek the root of the problem.  "There is wood over there, we can hoop it again." The scarab pointed to the east. In the southeast area opposite here, there are a large number of giant trees and some unfinished living utensils piled up.  ¡°They have taken away the tools, how can you cut the wood?¡± Zuo Dengfeng shook his head again.  "Use a sword." The scarab thought for a while and said.  "Don't worry about building a submarine. Our level is definitely not as good as those craftsmen of the past. If the hoop is not good and leaks halfway, it will really become a submarine." Zuo Dengfeng waved his hand and said, "But there is no submarine.  , How can we get into the water?" The scarab looked sad.  "It doesn't necessarily have to go into the water. What's more, judging from the structure of this submarine, its diving depth is also very limited, at least it will not exceed the range of pressure that humans can withstand." Zuo Dengfeng pointed at the wooden submarine.  , "This submarine has no working area. When it reaches the bottom of the sea, people have to dive to complete the work. If it is too deep, people will be knocked unconscious by the water pressure." Hearing this, Scarab nodded repeatedly. He only nodded in agreement with Zuo Dengfeng.  Analysis, I am not optimistic.  Zuo Dengfeng then walked towards the southeast area opposite. There were many logs piled here. Thirteen was sharpening his claws on the wood at the moment. This area should be where carpenters worked. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, blacksmiths and carpenters were not subdivided, and they were collectively called craftsmen.  , there are many unfinished wooden utensils left here. Most of these utensils are of mortise and tenon structure, and some objects also use metal strips similar to nails. In addition, although there are many semi-finished products left in this area, they are not placed in the same place.  There is no clutter, which shows that the craftsmen back then worked in an orderly manner.  "Zhenren Zuo, go inside and have a look." Seeing Zuo Dengfeng stop here for a long time, Scarab couldn't help but urge him.  "What can you find through this area?" Zuo Dengfeng asked. In fact, he only spent less than half a stick of incense observing and thinking, and the following period was spent waiting for Shisan to sharpen his claws.  "The level of carpenters and blacksmiths here is very high, surpassing that of the Central Plains region at the same time. You were right before, Jiang Ziya must have left two articles on weapon refining for them." Scarab pondered for a moment before answering.  "Shallow, take a closer look. There is so much wood piled up here, but the craftsmen did not use hollowing techniques when making the artifacts, but splicing. There are not even fist-sized pieces of wood on the ground. Why are they so frugal?  " Zuo Dengfeng asked rhetorically.  "Please ask Mr. Zuo to clarify my doubts." Scarab is much smarter than Big Head. He knows that his guess is not accurate, so he simply doesn't guess.  "The essence of frugality is to survive with limited resources. The craftsmen back then were very thrifty, which shows that they have long-term plans for the future. However, the unfinished artifacts left behind show that the change happened suddenly and they had no plans before.  Be mentally prepared, a person who knows he is about to die has no intention of working, let alone saving money." Zuo Dengfeng raised his hand to call Thirteen back, turned and walked towards the north.  "That's true, but we know what use these are to us." Scarab quickly followed.  "The mummy in the palace is Prince Ji Xian of the princes. He was around fifty years old when he rebelled. Judging from his appearance, they have been living here for about twenty years, and nothing happened in these twenty years.  , indicating that the environment here is still very stable. Why did something suddenly change? There is only one possibility, and that is that something suddenly happened that does not belong here. " Zuo Dengfeng walked forward slowly.  "What is something that does not belong here?" Scarab asked with a frown.  "It's the intervention of external forces. They were living well, but suddenly there was an external force that affected them. This external force may be one of the three aspects of heaven, earth, and human beings. It is not yet certain which one it is." Zuo  Dengfeng shook his head and said.  "Master Zuo, it's terrible, it's terrible." While the two were talking, Datou shouted from outside.  When the two heard the sound, they stopped and turned around, only to find Datou running in from the outside in panic, holding a strange thing in his arms.  "What happened?" Zuo Dengfeng asked with a frown. Although Da Tou was young, he rarely made any fuss or exaggerated actions. He was so nervous that something big must have happened.  "Look, look." Big Head quickly approached and put down the things in his arms.It is a piece of gray dirt about the size of a pot lid, with a small amount of snow on it.  Datou put down the piece of slag, then took out the instrument from his arms and brought it to Zuo Dengfeng, "This was found in the pit at the back of the mountain where smelting waste was dumped. It is radioactive and is consistent with what we are looking for."  The things are exactly the same, but the content is less than 2%. " Zuo Dengfeng took a breath when he heard this, and was instantly chilled from head to toe. The meteorite was really smelted by the craftsmen back then
