Chapter 1243 That’s because you haven’t seen the world
"Isn't that a bottomless pit?"
Qin Shiming was shocked when he heard this. The Northern War Department where he was originally was mainly responsible for guarding and expelling foreign forces. He didn't know much about such things in the country, and he had never even heard of it.
When did such a big hole appear on Kunlun Mountain?
Still a bottomless pit!
"It's a bottomless pit."
Zhou Tian took a long puff of cigarette and frowned.
"This cave is dark, with gusts of wind blowing out from time to time, and the sound of roaring dragons coming from time to time. Everyone is guessing where is the other side of the cave entrance and what is on the other side of the cave."
"Is it the other half of the earth? Or is it the legendary magical entrance to the ancient world?"
"We don't know. So that year, a special scientific expedition team was set up. This operation was named the Tianmen Project, also commonly known as the Sky Ascension Project. At that time, many people believed that only dragons existed in the sky. And I was one of them.
One member."
"So, you must have discovered something and you were framed back then, right?"
Qin Shiming took a deep look at Zhou Tian. No wonder Zhou Tian was so hateful, and no wonder Zhou Zhennan and the entire Zhou family had to endure it for ten years.
"I was the leader of the operation that year."
Zhou Tian did not hide anything, "Back then I did not just dive three thousand meters, but a full five thousand meters."
"Five thousand meters?"
Xia Houfeng and Qin Shiming looked at each other, "Then, why did you just say three thousand meters?"
"What's five thousand meters below?"
Qin Shiming also became interested and stared at Zhou Tian. Qin Shiming guessed that Zhou Tian must have discovered something back then and knew too many secrets, so he was framed and plotted, and he was falsely awarded military merit.
Anyone who dares to harm Zhou Tian will definitely not be inferior in position and status, at least on par with the Jinling Zhou family.
"I don't know. Anyway, that year I took out a stone from the rock wall and brought it back for testing. Before the test results came out, he lay down and stayed there for ten years."
Zhou Tian shook his head.
"Stone?"
"What kind of stone?"
Qin Shiming was shocked. Could a stone that was enough to kill Zhou Tianming be an ordinary object?
This thing may even be much more precious than the Sky Eye Stone.
"A stone as black as ink."
Zhou Tian took a long puff of cigarette, raised his head and glanced out the window, with a somewhat emotional expression, recalling that scene that year.
"That day, I went into the cave to explore with my team members, and went there with a narrow escape mentality. Although the journey was smooth and we did not encounter any danger, the unknown itself is a danger."
"The entire black hole is so invisible that it is clearly not lacking in oxygen. Any lighting equipment is useless, even the military lighting equipment purchased from the Eagle Country, it is still useless."
"At first, we thought there was something wrong with the magnetic field. Strong magnetic fields can interfere with the effective operation of electronic equipment, or even directly destroy it. However, it is still a pity that the magnetic field there is normal. At least we have detected every inch of land around the black hole."
"So, our exploration is actually all the way through."
After calming down for a while, Zhou Tian continued: "The cave wall is as smooth as jade, slightly moist, but very cold. As the depth of the dive increases, the temperature..."
"The temperature is lower? So you don't dare to continue diving?"
Xia Houfeng couldn't wait any longer.
"No, just the opposite."
Zhou Tian shook his head slightly, "It's very warm down there, as if under the warm winter sun. It's very comfortable."
"That's weird."
Qin Shiming's eyebrows were furrowed and his eyes were full of confusion.
Kunlun Mountain is different from other mountain ranges. Kunlun is known as the ancestor of mountains. There are nine dragon veins in the entire Kunlun Mountain. The main peak of Kunlun Mountain is covered with snow all year round. The temperature does not exceed 15 degrees all year round. It stands to reason that the underground is very cold. Otherwise, how can the main peak of Kunlun Mountain be covered with snow?
Will there be snow all year round?
This unscientific.
But can Kunlun Mountain be explained and determined scientifically?
"Yeah, isn't it weird?"
Zhou Tian also shook his head bitterly. After lying in bed for ten years, his mind was still active, and he was always thinking about everything that happened in the cave ten years ago.
"When we dived to three thousand meters, a gust of dark wind suddenly came from the cave. It was like a scene described in a thriller novel. The dark wind seemed to be coming from the underworld. At the same time, my team members began to retreat, and I was the only one.
I continued to dive alone, I was the captain, and at that time I was only half a step away from becoming a master."
"My own resistance and mental endurance are stronger. I sealed my ears with my strength, blocked out all sounds, and fell straight down the smooth cave wall. The temperature suddenly dropped. I could feel the cold air blowing out of me, like a sword.
As sharp as a blade."
"Because it's cold, you can't bear to retreat?"
Xia Houfeng felt anxious after hearing this. He was just telling a story. Can he focus on the key points? Isn't this deliberately trying to make him lose his appetite?
"No, it was not the cold that forced me to retreat, but a sudden light."
"Light?"
Xia Houfeng was even more confused, "Didn't you say it's completely dark? Where did the light come from? Now that there is light, can't you see more clearly? I think you might..."
"I don't want you to think, can you just shut your mouth now and listen to what others have to say?"
Qin Shiming gave Xia Houfeng a slap in the face unceremoniously. How come his mouth is worse than that of an old woman? I don't understand, can't I just listen to what others say? Can I use my brain to think about it carefully?
"I, am I not curious? I..."
Realizing that Qin Shiming had a sharp look in his eyes, Xia Houfeng quickly shut his mouth and stopped talking.
"He was right, having light is a good thing, but that beam of light was too weird and shocking, and I did see something the moment the light turned on."
"Although it was short-lived, the memory is very profound."
At this point, Zhou Tian stopped. After finishing smoking the cigarette in his hand, he took out another one and lit it. His hands were shaking a little.
Qin Shiming opened his mouth and wanted to urge him, but finally held back.
"Do you believe there are dragons in this world?"
Zhou Tian asked, suspected of trying to seduce people's appetites.
However, Qin Shiming nodded extremely seriously, "I believe it."
"I do not believe."
Xia Houfeng and Qin Shiming had completely opposite attitudes. He shook his head and said: "If we talk about dragons, I believe that dinosaurs exist. As for the dragons in the ancient myths of our Yanhuang Kingdom, I don't think they exist. This thing is too unscientific."
"Not scientific? You have only been studying for a few days, and you are talking to me about science?"
Qin Shi took a look at Xia Houfeng and knew that Xia Houfeng's education level was not high. He probably graduated from junior high school. He knew a lot about science and knew that three plus two minus five equals zero. That would be pretty good.
"If it is just a myth, how did this myth get passed down in the first place? Why has the image of the dragon not changed after thousands of years of being passed down? Why did emperors in the past embroider dragon images on their dragon robes?"
"Why is there always a dragon among the twelve zodiac animals? It's not a lion or an elephant, let alone a dinosaur?"
"But, but I've never seen it?"
Xia Houfeng asked rhetorically.
"That's because you have never seen much of the world."
