The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 144 The Ruins
The next day, Jiang Yu and others took an armed helicopter to the ruins where important clues were found.

Wu Zheng and others called it the "Black Square Ruins". They used Beidou satellites, ground searches, visits, etc., and it took them nearly four years to find it.

At present, the preliminary excavation and sorting of the "Black Fang Ruins" have been completed, and some clues about "Black Fang" have been discovered.

On the helicopter, 36 was sitting next to Jiang Yu, Wu Zheng was sitting opposite Jiang Yu, and beside Wu Zheng were two foreigners.

Amidst the sound of huge propellers, Wu Zheng said to Jiang Yu through the headset: "It is thanks to our persistence in visiting the surroundings that we were able to discover this ruin.

"An old herdsman told us that when he was hiding from a sandstorm in the ruins of an ancient city when he was young, he met a strange person who came to escape from a sandstorm just like him.

"The appearance of this strange man is obviously different from that of ordinary people, and the two people can't speak the same language.

"What impressed the old herdsman even more was that the other party's food turned out to be fresh fish!"

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng said with a smile: "I was there when the old herdsman talked about it, and when the old herdsman talked about fish, he couldn't help swallowing.

"When he was young, it was very difficult to get fresh fish here.

"The old herdsman's fellow villagers thought he was telling a story, but we felt that the old herdsman's words were full of details and highly credible.

"According to the location where the old herdsmen hid from the storm, we finally found the 'Black Square Ruins' after more than two years of searching."

Jiang Yu asked: "The ruins? Does that mean no one lives there?"

Wu Zheng nodded: "I'll explain the specific situation to you later."

Jiang Yu let out a "hmm" and looked at the two foreigners on the plane: "Has the research on 'Black Square' become an international topic now?"

Yesterday he found many foreigners in the dormitory area of ​​the base.

Wu Zheng explained: "Before the 'Black Fang Base' was built, the Americans observed the 'Black Fang' with satellites. It is said that after many consultations, a research team was sent, and later a joint team was also sent by Europe.

"Their main research direction is to try to weigh the 'black square'.

"Hey, in front of the 'Black Square', we realized that human's methods are immature. The 'Black Square' is too large, and there is no way to complete the division. Now we don't even know the quality of the 'Black Square'!

"What's even more discouraging is that we now have no way of measuring the mass of the 'black square' at all.

"Thus, the two foreign teams hoped to put multiple jacks under the 'Black Square', and use the sum of the forces lifting the 'Black Square' to calculate the mass of the 'Black Square', so as to calculate the weight of the 'Black Square'. ' material.

"The plan is still going on now, and it is said that the weight of 'Black Fang' has far exceeded expectations."

He then said with some deep meaning: "They all know Chinese."

Jiang Yu smiled and said "oh", it was Wu Zheng reminding him that if there is something confidential, don't think that they don't understand Chinese and say it in front of them.

After talking about the process of finding the ruins, the two foreigners chatted with Jiang Yu very politely. First, they congratulated Jiang Yu for defeating a wall-breaker, saying that it was their honor to talk to the wall-facer.

It has to be said that Barlow's act of giving away the head brought the Wallfacer Project to an unprecedented height!Wallfacers are also more widely respected!
The plane has been flying for more than two hours, and finally landed in a Yadan landform.

At this time, the sun was scorching hot, and under the sun, one by one looked like grave mounds, like wind-eroded rocks of the ruins of an ancient city, making Jiang Yu seem to have entered a forest with weird shapes.

There is a camp in the "forest" with more than a dozen tents, and helicopters send supplies, equipment, personnel, etc. here almost every day.

There were two middle-aged men standing in the distance to greet him. After Jiang Yu got off the plane, the two sides exchanged a few simple words.

Wu Zheng recommended Jiang Yu, and one of the two was Professor Jiang, a well-known archaeologist in China.

Another middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses and a "Mediterranean" hairstyle is Pei Yunqi, a domestic ancient writing expert.

Accompanied by two archaeologists, Wu Zheng led Jiang Yu and others into a small ancient city ruins.

The ruins of this ancient city are already very dilapidated, and most of the houses have become broken walls.

Several people entered a room that was still in good condition, and they felt a sense of coolness as soon as they entered the door.

There are some furniture made of earth and rocks in the room. Although there is already a thick layer of dust, some breath of life can still be seen.

Wu Zheng led Jiang Yu into the small room on the left, and there was a hole in the room that was as tall as a person.

Entering the entrance of the cave, there is a cave inside, and the space is very large.

The staff has already arranged generators, lighting, etc. here to brighten the place.

It looks like a large stone hall, very grand, with obvious traces of artificial carving.

In the depths, there are quaint tables and other arrangements made of long strips, which have a sense of age.

Wu Zheng introduced: "When we found this place, there was an air-dried corpse sitting on the top of it."

He pulled out relevant photos from his mobile phone and showed them to Jiang Yu. The corpses found in such ancient ruins always make people feel very strange.

Especially the other party's facial expression after drying, Jiang Yu felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning.

Wu Zheng continued: "On the stone table in front of him, there is a document written on cloth with a brush. We named it 'Black Square Cloth Scroll'."

He showed Jiang Yu the photo of the document. The text on the light-colored fabric looked very simple. Jiang Yu seemed to have seen those texts somewhere, but he didn't recognize any of them when he looked closely.

Jiang Yu asked: "Is this an ancient Chinese character?"

It was Pei Yunqi, an expert in ancient characters, who answered him: "This is very similar to Xixia script, but there are some differences in structure, especially in grammar, which are completely different from Xixia script.

"Currently we are working hard to decipher it, but because we only found this text message, the progress is very slow."

Jiang Yu nodded: "This document may contain key information, please decipher it as soon as possible."

Pei Yunqi said: "We will try our best. If there are other documents as materials and references, the deciphering speed will be much faster."

Jiang Yu said: "If you can't, just dig around and try?"

Wu Zheng said: "We tried it earlier, and we didn't find any other written information around."

He paused and said again: "But we found new clues in the apse."

Wu Zheng made a gesture of invitation and led Jiang Yu into a stone gate.

After passing through a downward corridor, we came to the apse, which is about the same size as the front hall in the underground.

Wu Zheng, who walked in the front, continued to introduce: "We found a large number of neatly arranged corpses in the back hall, without coffins, and without any funerary objects, which are obviously different from all the joint burial groups discovered so far.

"We have done carbon fourteen tests on these corpses, some of which have existed for hundreds of years, and some of which have only existed for decades.

"There is also DNA testing. Without exception, their DNA is highly consistent with the extinct Neanderthals."
