Origin Chapter 86: Underwater Ancient City
"Underwater space?" Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled. "You mean there are caves where dragons are hibernating underwater?"
Wang Xinran shook his head, "Underwater there should be a space for dragons to hibernate, but it doesn't have to be a cave."
"What is that?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Wang Xinran sat down on the sofa, "When dealing with the shipwreck in the early years, the 18th Sub-bureau once organized relevant personnel to conduct underwater surveys in the waters of Poyang Lake. Buildings, these underwater buildings are mostly ancient cities submerged by lakes, and currently there are three relatively large ancient cities known as Chaisang, Xunyang and Xiaoyang.”
"There is also an ancient city underwater in Heilongtan?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Wang Xinran shook his head, "I'm not sure, this water area is not mentioned in the file."
"Since they have conducted underwater surveys, they should know where the three ancient cities are underwater." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wang Xinran pointed to the cabinet in the entrance hall, Wu Zhongyuan understood, walked over and threw a bottle of mineral water to her, Wang Xinran took the mineral water, twisted it open and took a few sips, and then said, "The investigation work that year did not work well. If they are not meticulous, it may also be influenced and restricted by objective factors such as the technology at that time and the special environment here. They only roughly determined the approximate locations of the two ancient cities of Xunyang and Xiaoyang. The location is just to the northwest of Poyang Lake."
"Chai Sang, why is it so familiar?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned, he seemed to have seen or heard this place name somewhere.
Wang Xinran didn't answer, picked up the water bottle and continued drinking.
"I remember," Wu Zhongyuan recalled the gains, "When Cao's army went south, Shu once sent Zhuge Liang to Soochow to discuss the two countries' fight against Cao. Zhuge Liang was Sun Quan who came to see Chaisang."
Wang Xinran still didn't answer. Her history is not as good as Wu Zhongyuan's, because she is not really an archaeology student.
The two didn't speak for a long time. After Wang Xinran drank water, he lit another cigarette. When he was halfway through smoking, Wu Zhongyuan said, "What should we do now?"
Wang Xinran said, "I know what you're thinking, but I can't support you."
"Why?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Wang Xinran pondered and said, "There are several reasons. First, we are not sure if they are trapped underwater. Second, we don't know the situation underwater. Third, if they are really trapped underwater. , we are not sure if they are still alive. Also, we don't know what they are looking for when they go into the water, what is the reason for us to organize people to take the risk to go into the water? To save them? Even if I agree, can the above agree?"
Wu Zhongyuan was speechless.
Wang Xinran knew that he was worried about Lin Qingming, so he relieved, "You don't have to worry too much, those people on Poyang No. 1 are still outside. If they are really trapped underwater, they should be better than us. more anxious."
Wu Zhongyuan sighed.
Wang Xinran snuffed out the cigarette and said, "Now that we have released the crew of Poyang No. 1, they may have contact with these crew members. I have ordered people to closely monitor those crew members. At present, we have two options. One is After they appear, they will be arrested and interrogated by surprise. If they can prove that the black suit went into the water to find the spiritual stone, I have a reason to organize people to go into the water and rescue them while searching for the spiritual stone. The second option is to wait and see. Let them let go and do what they want. We don't stop them from trying to save people, and we will arrest them after they have rescued them. Which of these two methods is better?"
"Second," Wu Zhongyuan said, "the people on Poyang No. 1 probably didn't know what Zhao Ying was looking for, but were just cooperating with them to dive underwater."
"Okay, listen to you." Wang Xinran nodded.
"Did you send someone to monitor around the Black Dragon Pool?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Yes, they are all two kilometers away, and they are monitored and observed with binoculars," Wang Xinran said. "Those people are not ordinary criminals. They have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, and they are likely to be alarmed if they are too close." /
Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while, then asked, "Can the satellite determine what's under the black water pool?"
Wang Xinran glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, "Satellites can only photograph things on the ground, but cannot detect underwater. If you want to know what's under the black water pool, you have to use a submarine."
Wang Xinran finished speaking, seeing Wu Zhongyuan's face begging, before he could speak, he sealed it up, "What do you want to do? You don't really want me to transfer a submarine, do you?"
"Can you?" Wu Zhongyuan smirked.
"Do you want an aircraft carrier?" Wang Xinran looked at him again.
Wu Zhongyuan choked and could only shut up in embarrassment.
Seeing his frustration, Wang Xinran felt that what he said just now was a bit too much, "You have to understand us, for things like this, low-key handling is the first principle, and you can't make troubles all over the city. Once the public knows the existence of Jiaolong, they are very It is difficult to maintain objectivity and sobriety, they will not simply regard it as a rare aquatic animal, they will therefore doubt the materialistic world view, and they will think that since there are dragons, will there really be ghosts? , will there also be aliens, spread rumors and guess at random, and finally it will be messed up."
Wu Zhongyuan was speechless. Although he was worried about the safety of Lin Qingming and Zhao Ying, the 18th Bureau also had his own difficulties.
The only thing that can be done at the moment is to wait. Wang Xinran also knows what Wu Zhongyuan is worried about. He will contact the person in charge of monitoring near Heilongtan every hour to ask if there is any abnormality in the nearby waters. The corpse came up.
Wu Zhongyuan is grateful for Wang Xinran's actions, but at the same time he has new worries. The absence of floating corpses does not mean that Lin Qingming and the others are still alive. They may have been eaten by the dragon, or by the dragon. Killed in underwater space.
While waiting, the headquarters was not idle. Although they did not know why Zhao Ying and others dived into the black water pool, they could check the historical data to determine whether there were ancient people there before the water was submerged by the flood. Build a city.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, news came from the headquarters. After further search and comparison, it can be roughly determined that the Heilongtan waters is where the ancient city of Chaisang is located. The place name Chaisang is still used, but the current Chaisang and Ancient Chaisang is not the same place, just like the current Luoyang and ancient Luoyang are not the same place.
In addition, the ancient Chai Sang City was established in the middle of the Han Dynasty. It was submerged by the lake long before the Jin Dynasty. , the owner of this underwater spiritual stone should be the warrior who appeared in AD 213, which is the period of the Three Kingdoms.
The warriors sent by the tribe to look for him were not all men, there were several female warriors. The warrior who appeared in the Three Kingdoms period was a young woman. For this person, the little wizard described him as 'beautiful and petite' , Less words and more strategies, good at using hidden weapons, with a mole on the left forehead. ’
This news made Wu Zhongyuan feel a little better. Fortunately, the warrior was a woman. If it was a man, it would be troublesome. During the Three Kingdoms period, there were thousands of military generals with names and surnames. It is extremely difficult to identify the warrior among these people.
Even so, it is difficult for the headquarters to determine the identity of this female warrior during the Three Kingdoms period in a short period of time. It is easy to say that she is beautiful, that is, she looks good, but petite is not enough to be a condition for screening. We are adults in modern times. The average height of men is only 1.67 meters, while women are only 1.56 meters. However, the height of ancient people is quite different from that of modern people. According to archaeological findings, thousands of tombs unearthed in Qin and Han dynasties were found. The average height of the male corpse during his lifetime reached 1.8 meters.
This is a very surprising number, but it is real archaeological data. Such archaeological findings do not prove that people are getting shorter and shorter, but it can prove that men in the Qin and Han Dynasties were much taller than they are now.
Therefore, the petiteness mentioned by the little wizard cannot be a condition for screening, and it is useless to speak less and more tricks, because after all, there are a few women with long tongues, and most women do not speak a lot.
There are only three points that can be used as a reference for searching. It looks good, can use hidden weapons, and has a mole on the left forehead. The historians at the headquarters need to rely on these three points to find this female warrior from a large number of historical materials of the Three Kingdoms period. The premise is that There are historical records about her.
At seven o'clock in the evening, news came from the marine police. It was not good news or bad news, but strange news. All seven people on the Poyang No. 1 ship turned themselves in at the time of the incident, admitting that they had hired the boat illegally. Fishing for saury in the Yangtze River, nothing else is mentioned.
Learning the news, Wang Xinran and Wu Zhongyuan looked at each other. They didn't expect the other party to do such a thing. .
"They are forcing us to rescue." Wang Xinran said.
"What should I do now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. The opponent's move was brilliant. At present, there is no evidence that these people have done other bad things besides illegal fishing. They surrendered because they knew that he and Wang Xinran had already done so. When I learned about this, I told them indirectly by surrendering myself, 'Don't wait, we can't handle this matter, you come. ’
"What else can I do? It's a bunch of rogues." Wang Xinran was both angry and helpless. The other party made it clear that they would wipe their butts, but she couldn't help but wipe them because Lin Qingming was probably still underwater. But Wu Zhongyuan's senior brother.
"They don't play rogues and there is no other way," Wu Zhongyuan was also helpless. "Such a big ship has been overturned, and they have no other way to rescue them. After all, this is on our territory. They can't always send warships here."
Wang Xinran had a dark face and didn't answer.
Wu Zhongyuan knew that Wang Xinran was thinking about how to save people, and also knew that if Lin Qingming hadn't participated in this matter, Wang Xinran would definitely stand by and watch the account. In the end, the guilt was counted on his head. asked, "Would you like to go and question them in person?"
"There's no need for that," Wang Xinran waved his hand. "They've already negotiated it in advance. They won't say anything that shouldn't be said, and they don't know about important things."
"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Let's think about what to do, even if it's not to save people, we'll have to go down sooner or later in order to find the spiritual stone."
"A group of idiots who are more than enough to fail," Wang Xinran burst out in anger, "that Flood Dragon has already been provoked by them, and is now in a fit of rage, who would dare to go into the water at this time..."
