Chapter 1150: The Great Pyramid

Wei Kang told Zhang Zian about his plan, and although Zhang Zian felt unsafe, he couldn't find any serious faults. After all, this was not Wei Kang's first field trip. Previously, he had conducted biological research in deep mountains, old forests, Gobi swamps at home and abroad. He has accumulated a lot of experience, at least much richer than Zhang Zian's expedition experience, neither in theory nor in practice is it his turn to comment on Wei Kang's plan.

What's more, this operation is not only protected by high-tech equipment, but also followed by elves, especially Fina, an aboriginal who once wandered in the black and red lands, will definitely not stand by at critical moments... probably .

After the discussion, Wei Kang took the laptop and the printed documents, and went to Cairo University with the students for academic exchanges.

Zhang Zian had nothing to do for the time being, and he couldn't waste his time, so he took the elves to investigate the pyramid as originally planned.

When traveling in Egypt, if you can only go to the only scenic spot, 99% of people will choose the pyramids. If you come to Egypt but don’t go to the pyramids and leave a few selfies, you will be ashamed to tell others that you have been to Egypt when you return home.

Except for Fina who was generally interested in the damage to the pyramid, the other elves wanted to see one of the seven wonders of the world, the man-made man-made structure that had firmly occupied the highest height in the world for 4,000 years before the Eiffel Tower was built. architecture.

Zhang Zian went outside to buy food and brought it back. The elves had enough to eat and drink, and they were ready to go.

Put the elves into the mobile phone that should be in the mobile phone, and the invisibility that should be invisible, they left the hotel and took a taxi.

There was an incident when leaving the hotel. Two other couples from the west also stayed in the hotel. Today they wanted to take drones to take aerial photos outside, but they were stopped by the lobby manager on duty and told them that due to the anti-terrorism situation Seriously, drones are contraband in Cairo. If they are taken out and seen by the police, they will probably be detained together with the person and the drone. If you want to play with drones, you can only go to the wild or not so densely populated areas.

The Western couple felt very sorry, and so did Zhang Zian, because he had also considered aerial photography of the pyramids. After all, it feels uncomfortable to be unable to play with a new toy for so long.

The temperature seems to be a few degrees higher than yesterday. It is said that the highest temperature at noon in midsummer can reach nearly 50 degrees Celsius, which is really hot to death.

I don't know if it's because Ramadan is approaching, but I always feel that there are fewer pedestrians on the street today than yesterday, and the traffic is not so bad.

The hotel is not far from the pyramid, and the straight-line distance is less than ten kilometers. In addition, there are no high-rise buildings around, and the ancient tetrahedron-shaped building can be seen very far away.

Arriving at the foot of the pyramid, Zhang Zian first spent 5 minutes negotiating the fare with the driver. After all, there was plenty of time, but the money was spent less and less.

As an international tourist destination, basically the locals related to the tourism industry can speak English. Although the level is basically at the domestic junior high school level, and the accent is also very strange, simple communication or bargaining is not a problem.

"This is the pyramid..."

When they were driving this way in a taxi before, they didn't think much of it, but standing so close, every elf except Fina was deeply shocked, even those who thought they were well-informed The same is true of Zhang Zian.

The gigantic Great Pyramid stands proudly on this wasteland. To the east is the prosperous city of Cairo with great disparity between rich and poor, and to the west is the beginning of the Sahara Desert. It has witnessed the rise and fall of ancient Egypt, the alien invasion from the east and the north, the desertification process in Egypt, and the turmoil in Egypt today... It will continue to witness, laugh at the situation, until the end of time the end.

Just like the old Egyptian saying - human beings are afraid of time, and time is afraid of pyramids.

The wind blows the yellow sand, just like the everlasting desolation.

"The pagoda, pierced through the blue sky, is still intact. The sky is about to fall, so lean on it!" Vladimir murmured, changing a line of the poem again.

This sentence was originally a poem describing the mountain, but it is appropriate here.

The majestic Great Pyramid is like a rocky mountain rising from the ground,

Supporting the thousands of miles of blue sky like a pinning sea god.

Before coming to Egypt, Zhang Zian, who had only seen pictures on the Internet, had an attitude of "nothing more than that" in his heart, but when he really stood at the foot of the pyramids, any contempt would be torn to pieces, and he could only sigh with emotion as one of the seven wonders of the world It really lives up to its reputation.

His gaze fell on one side of the Great Pyramid, where there was a hole blocked with stones, which was said to be the entrance to the corridor leading to the pharaoh's tomb in the center of the pyramid.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to buy a ticket. The pyramid already needs a ticket. If you want to enter the pyramid, you need to buy an extra ticket."

Zhang Zian walked to the ticket office and bought one of each of the two types of tickets.

Fortunately, it may be due to the protection of cultural relics that the tickets to enter the Great Pyramid are sold in a limited amount, 300 tickets per day, and they are sold out. Today, there are few tourists, so he bought the few remaining tickets One of the remaining votes.

"Taxi! Taxi!"

He just took a few steps while holding the ticket, when he heard a taxi behind him soliciting business, he thought he could still take a taxi on this broken road? I am afraid that the suspension will be overhauled after a few days of driving.

However, looking back, it was not a taxi at all, but a teenage local boy leading a camel and waving to him enthusiastically, "Taxi!!"

Zhang Zian was speechless. He waved his hand to express that he didn't need this retro four-hoofed taxi. He also heard that the taxi was very dark. It was said to be $1, but it actually cost more than $1 to get on and off.

Returning to the elves, he waved the ticket in his hand, "Okay, you can go in."

They stepped on the gravel and gravel all over the ground, and soon came to the vicinity of the Great Pyramid. They also saw another small dark hole under the entrance of the closed passage. It is said that It is a hole left by tomb robbers, and it is now a passage to enter the pyramid. At the entrance, there are staff members of the scenic spot checking tickets, and tourists who bought tickets slipped in in twos and threes.

"Meow~ Do you have to enter that hole?"

Xinghai stared nervously at the entrance of the cave and asked, the narrow, dark, twisty, cramped entrance made it feel a sense of resistance.

"If Xinghai doesn't want to go in, you can stay outside." Knowing that its claustrophobia has not been cured, Zhang Zian comforted him: "I have to go in because I have something to do, otherwise I don't want to waste the money. I heard that the experience is not good. And there's the pharaoh's curse hanging over his head like the sword of Damocles."

"Curse? Hehe, it's all paper tigers!"

Vladimir smiled contemptuously, saying nothing.
