Chapter 2496 Preliminary Exploration
After introducing his discovery, Ye Tian took out his mobile phone, called up the Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns that he had just captured, and showed them to everyone.
After just one glance, Professor Delgado nodded excitedly and said:
"That's right, Steven, the Mayan hieroglyphs in the middle represent the legendary treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire.
This text has appeared on the head of your hexagram gold scepter and on the gold statue of the Mayan priest that was discovered before.
The pattern below is a unique sacrificial ceremony of the Copan Mayans, and this pattern also exists in the ancient city of Copan, but it is not so complete,..."
Following Professor Delgado's explanation, everyone at the scene suddenly became more excited, and even a little impatient, eager to cross the mountain stream and go to the opposite rainforest to explore the treasures of the Golden City.
As for the harsh environment and the pervasive poisonous gas in that rainforest, they all seemed to be selectively ignored by everyone.
After showing the photos he just took, Ye Tian put away his phone.
Immediately afterwards, he led Jason, Professor Delgado and others to the remaining bridgehead, preparing to let them see the situation there.
The other members of the tripartite joint exploration team remained in place, maintaining a state of high alert, waiting for the start of the next step.
While speaking, Ye Tian had brought everyone to the edge of the mountain stream, which was the head of the broken bridge.
As soon as we arrived here, everyone saw the bridge head that had just been cleaned up and still had a lot of mud and grass and sawdust hanging on it.
It was a piece of granite, which was integrated with the cliff on the side of the mountain stream. It was about 40 to 50 centimeters above the ground, and it protruded about 20 to 30 centimeters above the mountain stream.
The moment they saw the bridgehead, everyone's eyes lit up.
In particular, Professor Delgado and Douglas, who are historians and archaeologists, and several other archaeologists stepped out immediately, ready to step forward and take a closer look. Everyone was very excited.
For this situation, Ye Tian had expected it.
He hurriedly stopped it, and asked everyone to line up to check, and to hang on the safety rope, be extremely careful, so as not to accidentally slip down the mountain stream,
Fall to pieces, or become a delicacy for all kinds of poisonous insects and beasts.
Hearing his warning, those experts and scholars just calmed down and realized where they were right now.
Subsequently, with the assistance of Mattis and others, these experts and scholars hung up the safety ropes one after another, lined up and began to check and study the remaining bridgehead.
Needless to say, the research results are no different from Ye Tian's previous identification conclusions.
It was probably a bridge leading to the Golden City of the Mayan Empire, but it was broken by the desperate Copan royal family in the ninth century AD. Since then, the Golden City of the Mayan Empire has become a misty legend!
Right now, the bridge leading to this legendary huge treasure is right in front of you, can everyone not be ecstatic about it?
While Professor Delgado and others were studying the remaining bridgehead, Hernando came to Ye Tian and said expectantly:
"Steven, how do we get through the steep mountain stream, and how do we deal with the poisonous fog in the tropical rainforest opposite? To explore the legendary treasures of the Golden City of the Mayan Empire"
Ye Tian looked at this guy, smiled leisurely and said:
"Don't worry, Hernando, let's take action after Professor Delgado and the others finish their research. First, I will let someone control the drone to fly to the opposite rainforest to check the basic situation there.
Next, I plan to build a cableway over the broken bridge, and then send a few security team members to slide along the cableway to the rainforest opposite the mountain stream to conduct a field inspection and prepare for the next step.
Make sure that the environment over there is accessible and will not pose a threat to everyone wearing a full set of protective clothing. Only then can the rest of the people pass through that cableway and enter the opposite rainforest to explore the Golden City of the Mayan Empire.
In the middle of the ninth century AD, the royal family of the Copan Kingdom passed here, and has since disappeared in the depths of the tropical rain forest and the long river of human history, leaving countless unsolved mysteries in the world.
Today, more than a thousand years later, we will go from here to explore the legendary Golden City of the Mayan Empire, solve the mysteries about the Mayan civilization, and bring a huge surprise to the world! "
"Well then, Steven, I'm looking forward to that moment"
Hernando nodded in response, didn't say anything more, and could only wait patiently.
A while later, Professor Delgado and Professor Douglas came over together. They had read all the Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns engraved on the bridgehead, and they had learned something.
Coming up close, the two eminent historians said in unison:
"Steven, when will we cross this mountain stream and go to the tropical rainforest opposite? To be honest, we can't wait. We wish we could fly across the mountain stream and look for the famous Golden City of the Mayan Empire."
Ye Tian looked at these two old friends, smiled and repeated what he said just now, not in a hurry.
Like Hernando, upon hearing his words, Professor Delgado and the others could only roll their eyes and wait patiently.
Soon, the rest of the guys also finished visiting the remaining bridgehead, and when they all came back, Ye Tian said to Mathis:
"Matisse, it's time to start the operation, fly the drone to the tropical rainforest opposite, check the terrain, as well as the animals and plants living in that rainforest, and see if there are any highly poisonous creatures.
Another point is to carefully test the poisonous fog permeating the rainforest to see what toxins are in the air and what the concentration is. Can we enter while wearing a full set of protective clothing? ..."
Ye Tian made several requests one after another, and when he finished speaking, Mathis immediately nodded in response:
"Okay, Steven, leave these things to us. I believe it won't take long for the guys to investigate the situation in the rainforest opposite."
After speaking, Mattis picked up the walkie-talkie and issued an action command.
Soon, two small drones rose from the rear, then quickly flew to the side of the broken bridge, and flew straight to the opposite tropical rainforest.
These two small drones not only carry several high-definition cameras and infrared cameras, but also carry a small air detector, which can complete some basic air detection tasks.
Their first task is to detect the air quality in the tropical rainforest opposite, as well as the toxin content in the air, including the corrosive ability of those toxins.
Through the data detected by these two small drones, it can be roughly analyzed whether everyone can enter the rainforest opposite and safely pass through the area filled with poisonous fog while wearing a full set of protective clothing.
If necessary, everyone can even enter the rainforest with oxygen tanks and assisted breathing equipment on their backs, as long as they can pass through the rainforest smoothly.
Of course, if the poisonous smog in the opposite rainforest is very violent, if you touch it, you will die, and if you touch it, you will die, and if it is extremely corrosive, then you can only think of other ways.
While speaking, two small drones flew over the mountain stream one after another, and they were about to enter the tropical rainforest opposite.
At this moment, a man-catching vine entrenched on the opposite bridge seemed to sense an abnormality from the change in air flow, and suddenly waved the vine, and yanked towards the two small drones flying over it.
This sudden change startled everyone on the side of Shiqiao, and there was an exclamation immediately.
It was too late and then quickly, and there was another burst of rapid gunshots in everyone's ears.
"bang bang bang"
Accompanied by a burst of piercing gunshots, seven or eight rifle bullets shot out at high speed from the muzzle of the G36C short assault rifle in Ye Tian's hand, and went straight to the vines swayed by the man-hunting vine on the opposite side.
In the next instant, those trapping vines that had just flown up and were drawn toward the two small drones were hit by the rifle bullets flying at high speed, and they were broken in two.
Look at the two small drones, they have been pulled up quickly, and flew into the tropical rainforest opposite without any risk!
