Chapter 887: Solidified Civilization
Captain Shui glanced at the target, then at Shi Xiaobao, and fell silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something.
No one disturbed the head of the water.
Everyone could see that the leader of the water group should be deciding whether to participate in the bet of everyone. Although Shi Xiaobao really wanted Captain Shui to participate, but he pretended to be a gambler or not.
Of course, a group of archaeologists all hope that Tuanzhang Shui will participate in the gambling, because Tuanzhang Shui has become their only hope for revenge.
Under the gaze of dozens of pairs, Captain Shui finally spoke.
"I don't have any money." Captain Shui said four words.
"Cut, what a fart if you don't have money!" Shi Xiaobao snorted.
"However, I have a good thing." Captain Shui looked at Shi Xiaobao.
"What good thing?" Shi Xiaobao's eyes lit up.
"My necklace." Captain Shui took a silver necklace from his neck.
"Fart! How much is a necklace worth! It's so thin, it's platinum, and it's worth tens of thousands at most." Shi Xiaobao suddenly lost interest.
"No, this is not an ordinary necklace." Captain Shui shook his head with a smile.
"What necklace?" Shi Xiaobao asked curiously, being aroused by Captain Shui.
"This is an antique..."
"Hahaha, I found out that you were guarding yourself." Shi Xiaobao laughed loudly.
"No, this was not found in the ancient tomb, it was found in the coal seam 300 million years ago. Back then, I spent a month of work to buy it."
"How much is your monthly salary...Wait, old man Shui, don't bully me for not studying enough. I know that the longest history of human beings is only 5,000 years ago. There were no human beings 300 million years ago." Shi Xiaobao stood up. Raise the middle finger to express contempt.
"Little Treasure, you are wrong again. According to some evidence, there have been more than one human civilizations on Earth." Captain Shui said with a smile.
"Ah..." Shi Xiaobao was stunned for a moment.
"One summer in 1968, an American amateur fossil expert was near Utah,
Antelope Spring, which is also famous for its trilobite fossils, has opened up a fossil. This knock not only loosened the theory of evolution believed by modern humans for more than a hundred years, but also opened another door for the study of the history of human development. After the American named William knocked open the fossil, he suddenly found a complete shoe print on a trilobite. The shoe print was about 26 centimeters long and eight or nine centimeters wide. Judging from the 1.5 cm depression in the heel of the shoe print, this should be a pair of shoes similar to the casual shoes worn by modern humans, which means that the owner of this shoe lived in a certain civilized environment. It is doubtful that trilobites are creatures that grew from 600 million years ago to more than 200 million years ago. In other words, did human civilizations like ours exist before this long historical period? "
"What does this have to do with your necklace?" Shi Xiaobao's character is famous for his stubbornness, so naturally he will not be easily persuaded.
"Xiaobao, don't interrupt Captain Shui." Wang Zhu's heart was overwhelmed, and he hurriedly prevented Shi Xiaobao from interrupting Captain Shui's words.
"According to historical records, the history of civilization in human society does not exceed 5,000 years. However, relics and relics of human civilization 5,000 years ago have been discovered in some places. How can we explain it? Clayderman, a professor at the University of Oregon, in Eastern Nevada 200 pairs of silk-woven sandals were astonishingly found in the Ramos Cave in Nevada. After scientific tests, it was determined that the shoes were produced 9,000 years ago. This is contrary to the conclusion that the civilization of human society does not exceed 5,000 years. It is simply incredible A shoe print with clear lines was found in the coal seam of the Fisherman’s Canyon in the county. According to the identification of scientific instruments, it is estimated that the shoe print is at least 15 million years old. In 1959, scientists discovered a complete shoe print in the Gobi Desert. 1 million years ago, and humans only put on shoes thousands of years ago, so who stepped out of this shoe print 1 million years ago? It was discovered in the tomb of Pallas excavated in Rome in 1401. In the dark pit, a bright lamp was accidentally lit. According to investigations, this lamp has been burning for 2,000 years..."
"Oh... I understand why you told me this!" Shi Xiaobao suddenly realized.
"Ah... what do you understand?" Captain Shui was taken aback.
"You are nothing more than convincing me to fool me, proving that the necklace on your neck is very precious and precious, and it will never be a bargain."
"Ahem..." Elder Shui Tuan blushed.
"Okay, you are the head of the team, let me show you some face, tell me, how much does this necklace cost? Eh... By the way, you said that you spent a month's salary to buy this necklace. How much is your monthly salary?"
"This...was decades ago...my monthly salary was
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Thirty yuan..."
"Thirty yuan...Grandpa Shui, it's only thirty yuan. Forget it. For the sake of you being the regiment leader, I'll make a price of thirty thousand."
"Too little." Captain Shui shook his head.
"Hey, don't be shameless for your face, a broken necklace..."
"Little Treasure, the purchasing power of 30 yuan a few decades ago is more than the current 30,000 yuan." Wang Zhu saw the displeasure on the face of Tuan Shui, and he quickly explained for fear that the relationship between the two would become tense.
"Okay, old man Shui, how much do you say!" Shi Xiaobao had an indifferent expression on his face.
"five million."
"Ah... Damn, you robbed, such a broken necklace is worth five million."
"It's really worth so much!" Captain Shui nodded with a very certain tone.
"Okay, I want this necklace, five million!" Wang Zhu immediately made a decision.
"Brother Stupid, this is the rhythm of being a kid..." Shi Xiaobao had a heartbroken expression on his face.
"However, I have a condition." Wang Zhu stared at Captain Shui.
"Um?"
"I would like to ask some questions about this necklace."
"it is good."
Although Captain Shui is not young, he has a very bold and unrestrained personality, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Xiaobao, let's start."
"Captain Shui, tell me, how do we gamble?" Shi Xiaobao was full of spirits.
"I have two requests."
"Say."
"First, the distance is 30 meters; second, you win if you hit the bull's-eye!" Captain Shui paused every word.
"Ah... old man Shui, you're cheating me! Well, how much is the bet?" Shi Xiaobao wailed, but his heart was filled with joy.
"Just five million!"
"Damn, I didn't expect the old man Shui to be so proud at a very old age. Okay, since that's the case, it's as you wish, otherwise, it would make my Brother Bao seem stingy..." Shi Xiaobao smiled slyly.
"Xiaobao, lose!" Before Shi Xiaobao finished speaking, Wang Zhu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"what……"
"Don't look around, they can't hear you. If you lose this game, the money I lose will be mine. Don't be ridiculous. If you win all their money, it will affect our follow-up actions. When you find out, enter After the secret passage in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, if you cheat them hard, then each of them will owe us a huge debt, hehe, if they don’t want to help us, they won’t be able to.”
"Okay!" Shi Xiaobao was elated and applauded loudly, and immediately realized that everyone was looking at him, and said with a sneer: "Let's start."
The gamble begins.
Shi Xiaobao retreated thirty meters.
In the end, there was no suspense. Shi Xiaobao's dart hit the bull's-eye, and even missed it.
Captain Shui's necklace was saved, and Shi Xiaobao not only lost the two million yuan he had won, but also lost more than two million yuan.
This lunch was not eaten in the cafeteria of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, but in a nearby restaurant. Of course, it was Shi Xiaobao who paid the bill.
After returning to the dormitory, Wang Zhu went to Captain Shui's room.
"Captain Shui, your necklace is really from 300 million years ago?" Wang Zhu stared at the necklace on Captain Shui's neck. Now, Wang Zhu has realized that Tuanzhang Shui is a knowledgeable expert, perhaps, he knows about the prehistoric civilization.
"You don't believe it?" Captain Shui smiled slightly.
"I……"
"I'll tell you a story."
"Uh-huh."
"In all parts of the world, there are countless rivers, some of them are rolling waves, some are trickling, and the water quality is all sweet and pure. The ashes. Such a filthy and disgusting river, but the locals worship it as auspicious holy water."
"Ganges!" Wang Zhu blurted out.
"Yes, the Ganges. The Ganges originates from the Himalayas, flows through the Ganges Plain in India, and finally flows into the Bay of Bengal, with a total length of more than 2,700 kilometers. On the banks of the Ganges flowing through India, there are 4 large baths. When the Wine Altar Festival comes, thousands of Buddhists flock here from all directions, sometimes reaching tens of thousands. Buddhists scramble to dance
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Rinse and bathe in the water, and even those extremely devout believers, in order to achieve the purpose of washing away their sins with "holy water" and ascending to heaven, commit suicide by drowning in water one after another, and the dead sometimes reach ten thousand people. Dense corpses floated all over the river, and after the corpses were salvaged, they were cremated on the bank. The flames of the cremation burned blazingly, day and night, and the scorched smell permeated the entire river bank. People dump these ashes into the river to comfort the long-cherished wish of the deceased. The clean river water has been seriously polluted, becoming extremely dirty and rancid, and its degree of turbidity is unspeakable. However, those Buddhists who are in the river still swim in the river. After the tour is exhausted, they will drink the river water with both hands until they can't drink anymore. What is strange is that after drinking the dirty, smelly water, not only did no one contract any disease, but some of the original ills were cured and health was restored. The wonderful phenomenon that the Ganges water does not cause disease, but 'cures' has puzzled scientists. They took samples of the river water and found that the water quality here is very good. The trace elements and germs in the water are not good for the human body. to the extent of endangering health. At the same time, they did another interesting experiment, put the terrible Vibrio cholerae into the water and found that the bacteria were inexplicably eliminated in a very short period of time. From this, people understand why the Ganges water can cure some diseases. So, what exactly killed these terrible germs? Scientists took samples of the river water and checked them repeatedly under the microscope, but they had no clue. Faced with the wonderful water of the Ganges, they were helpless, unable to find the mystery in it, and unable to explain this strange and abnormal phenomenon, just as people cannot explain the existence of Buddha..."
"Does this have something to do with the necklace?" Wang Zhu was at a loss.
"No."
"what……"
"I'm just telling you that there are still many things in the world that cannot be explained."
"That's true." Wang Zhu nodded fiercely, with a serious expression on his face.
"I am an archaeologist. I have been working in the field for a long time, and I will also come into contact with many unclassified documents. Therefore, what I have seen and heard is much more than ordinary people."
"For example, this necklace!" Wang Zhu was afraid that the leader of the water team would go off topic.
"This necklace is indeed an object from 300 million years ago, but it can't explain anything, because the evidence is too thin and single. However, from this necklace and some things I know, it is inferred that , There have been human civilizations in different periods..."
"Why is it determined to be human civilization?" Wang Zhu asked.
"All the discovered prehistoric sites or objects are related to human beings, such as accessories or shoes that fit human beings. It has been proved that every stage of civilization on the earth is related to human beings."
"Since the earth has many stages of human civilization, why did they disappear and perish?"
"There are too many answers, but they are nothing more than natural disasters. Among them, natural disasters are tsunamis, earthquakes, solar storms, earth's climate changes, or plagues, which may make human beings extinct; Short-term extinction, such as various forms of war, including genetic warfare. In short, in the face of time, human beings are very, very fragile..." Chief Shui sighed.
"Captain Shui seems to have something on his mind." Wang Zhu felt that Captain Shui's sigh was heavy.
"I have dedicated my whole life to archaeology. In my career, I have seen too many tragedies that have been solidified..."
"A frozen tragedy?" Wang Zhu was taken aback.
"The couple embracing each other in a thousand-year-old coffin, the great mother protecting their children in the volcanic ash, and the couple cuddling together in the ten-thousand-year glacier..."
There was silence in the room.
Leader Shui's words resonated with Wang Chu.
In the face of the long river of time, human beings appear insignificant.
Ants are insignificant in the eyes of human beings. Human beings will trample to death countless ants every day when they walk, but in the face of the long river of time, human beings are not even as good as ants.
If there are indeed human beings living in different periods on the earth, then the human beings in each period will end in extinction, and even their glorious history will not leave any traces.
For hundreds of millions of years, the earth has been in constant motion, with volcanic eruptions, floods, and viruses, and any substance will have a decay period. In the long river of time, what can be left behind , all require a very special environment, and if they are preserved, they may not necessarily be discovered. For example, if the necklace on the neck of the head of the water regiment is not discovered by accident, it will be sent into the furnace along with the black coal and disappear into nothing.
Now, Wang Chu can be sure that the human beings exterminated by the barbarians are only human civilizations in one period of the earth's human beings...
