Through observation, the original entrance of this underground stone chamber should be made of a lot of bluestone.

However, judging from the current excavation, the stones piled up at the entrance have collapsed and been blocked.

"Why are the Loulan people so fond of underground stone chambers? The Niya Ruins are also underground stone chambers." Lu Qinglian asked at the faint entrance of the underground stone chamber.

"Maybe the underground space is more conducive to resisting the erosion of wind and sand." Lin Feng said in speculation.

"There won't be the corpses of the Loulan people buried underground, right?" Lu Qinglian showed a terrified expression on her face.

"Don't worry, no, the Loulan people don't like tombs in the form of underground palaces. Moreover, the cemetery of the Loulan royal family has long been discovered by the world, and it is the world-famous [Xiaohe Cemetery]." Director Zhang smiled and patted Lu Qinglian on the shoulder.

The strong soldiers quickly cleared out all the rocks and sand blocked at the entrance, and used tools to support and reinforce the entrance.

"After testing, the air in the underground stone chamber is not suitable for breathing. I suggest using an air pump equipment to perform several refills of the air in the stone chamber." Director Zhang said after detecting the air composition in the underground stone chamber.

Everyone agreed and suppressed their excitement and waited for dawn and the progress of air circulation work.

............

In the early morning, the east sky gradually faded away with the stars, and the color of the sky continued to change.

Gradually, near the horizon, a golden arc broke through the morning light and rose slowly from the horizon.

Because of his excitement, Haraki and others didn't sleep much last night. Before dawn, they sat on a small sand dune not far from the entrance of the underground stone chamber and waited.

"The sun finally comes out, let's go and see the progress of the air circulation work." Yuan Shichen said, looking at the dawn in the sky.

At the entrance of the underground stone chamber, the air pump equipment had been working all night.

Company Commander Wang Wei was standing beside the air pump and chatting with several young soldiers, laughing from time to time.

"Hello, Commander Wang, you have come to guide the work so early." Lu Qinglian said politely.

"You little kids are also very energetic. They came here so early." Commander Wang smiled and said, "I'll tell you good news. The air quality in the underground stone chamber has been much better. After breakfast, we can probably go down to hunt for treasure."

"That's great." Everyone said in a good mood.

After breakfast, everyone had a short rest and gathered at the entrance of the underground stone chamber again.

At this time, the air pump equipment has stopped working. After inspection, the air quality in the underground stone chamber has approached a good level.

"Can we enter the underground stone chamber?" Chen Xi asked anxiously.

"Chen Xi, for safety reasons, I do not recommend that you two girls go down and take risks." The person who spoke was Director Zhang.

"It's okay, I'm in good health." Yuan Shichenfa felt that Chen Xi seemed particularly interested in the underground stone chamber.

"No, I have been in such a situation many times before. The underground excavation work is indeed not suitable for lesbians." Director Zhang flatly rejected Chen Xi's request.

"But......"

"No need to say anything more, I will definitely not agree." Before Chen Xi finished speaking, Director Zhang had already made a decision. "Lu Qinglian, Chen Xi, and four soldiers stayed on the ground to do a good job in logistics and security. The others acted immediately and entered the underground stone chamber."

Chen Xi, who was standing beside him, saw that Director Zhang was so confident, didn't say anything else.

Everything was ready, and Haraki Chen and others finally stepped into the entrance of the underground stone chamber.

Looking down along the entrance, there is a dark stone staircase with three turnbacks. Each stone staircase is covered with sand and dust, and a heavy dusty atmosphere is scattered in the air.

The stone steps extend to about two floors underground. As everyone gradually deepens, the light above their heads is gradually swallowed up by the darkness.

When they reached the last stone steps, everyone finally stepped onto the ground of the underground stone chamber.

The searchlights in everyone's hands danced in a mess, and the area of ​​the underground stone chamber quickly discovered the area.

This underground stone chamber is much larger than that of the Niya ruins, and covers an area of ​​about two standard basketball courts.

The stone room floor is covered with a layer of delicate ash soil, and it is obvious that it has been silent for nearly two thousand years.

Company Commander Wang asked several soldiers to install a high-power spotlight at each corner of the stone chamber.

When the lights light up, the underground stone chamber was clearly displayed in front of everyone in an instant.

"There is the [Flying Stone from the Sky]!" Lin Feng stretched out his hand and pointed at the center of the stone chamber and shouted excitedly.

Everyone looked at it and saw a stone about three meters long and one meter wide and high sitting on a square stone platform.

The light extending from the four corners enveloped the entire stone in a halo, making it even more mysterious.

[Flying Stones from the Sky] The dust of time and history has long been filled with, and the color of its essence cannot be distinguished at this moment.

In the south facing part of the [Flying Stone outside the Sky], there is a polished plane. Although it is covered with dust, the eight huge Chinese characters "I will be ordered by the sky and live forever" are still clearly visible.

............

In addition, there were a large number of amazing discoveries in the underground stone chamber, including a large number of Chinese, wooden slips of Lu Wen, paper documents, exquisite silk, wool fabrics, and unique wood carving ornaments.

On the stone walls around the stone chamber, a large number of stone carvings were found again, which recorded the last period of Loulan's history.

At the foot of the Alkin Mountains, Lop Nur was once a land of abundant waters with ripples and wild birds flocking, but now it has become a desert and a salt sieve.

As time goes by, the mud and sand in the Tarim River and Peacock River gradually gather at the mouth of Lop Nur. The mud and sand accumulate more and more, blocking the river channel. The Tarim River and Peacock River find new paths, flowing to low-lying places, forming a new lake.

The old lake gradually evaporated in the hot climate and became a desert. Water is the source of life in Loulan City.

The northward movement of Lop Nur Lake made the water source in Loulan City thirsty and trees withered, and a large number of citizens abandoned the city and ran away.

As the climate deteriorates, a terrible infectious disease begins to invade Loulan, one sick, one village, and one death.

In the face of a huge disaster, the Loulan people chose to escape.

The Kingdom of Loulan collapsed, and people blindly walked up the Tarim River. Wherever there were trees and water, they would go wherever they could survive, and wherever they could live, so as to how many people could live. The Loulan people were crying without tears.

When they set off, they were catching up with the unprecedented strong wind and sand. It was a great formation that buried the sky and the earth. The sky was dark and the sand was flying, and the sound was like a fierce ghost. A city scattered in the turbid blur...

After reading the words on the stone wall, Director Zhang looked extremely excited.

"This is incredible. Today will be an important day in the archaeological world!"

"Quick, I want to contact the outside world right away. We need more helpers!"

Once the news of the excavation of the underground stone chamber of Loulan Ancient City was announced, it immediately shocked the whole world.

In the next few days, a large number of archaeological experts rushed towards the long-silent ruins of Loulan. This was the most important discovery in the archaeological world after Swedish explorer Sven Heding discovered the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan in 1900.

Compared with many cultural relics and historical sites, what Yuan Shichen is more concerned about is of course the long-awaited [Flying Stone from the Sky].

Because the overall size of [Flying Stone in the Sky] is relatively large, the scientific expedition team has really spent a lot of money and energy to ship it to the ground.

............

On a sunny afternoon, a large transport truck was loaded carefully and prepared to transport it back to the School of Astronomy of Tsinghua University for further research.

"Xichen, the archaeological work in Loulan Ancient City has not yet ended. Director Zhang and I will continue to stay at the ruins, so we won't accompany you back to school." Lin Feng stood in front of the car and said with great emotion.

"Lin Feng, I wish you to complete the archaeological work as soon as possible and make major discoveries." Yuan Shichen said with a smile.

"You have made great contributions to the great discovery of the ancient Loulan Kingdom this time." Lin Feng patted Yuan Shichen's shoulder and said seriously, "Thank you, and I also look forward to your next research on [Flying Stones from Away] to make new breakthroughs."

"Pretty, take good care of yourself, let's leave first." Yuan Shichen also patted Lin Feng on the shoulder.

Lu Qinglian and Chen Xi waved goodbye to the handsome Lin Feng again.

With the farewell of everyone, the transport vehicle carried Yuan Shichen, Lu Qinglian, Chen Xi, and [Flying Stones from the Sky], roaring towards the edge of the desert...
