Just when Lu Yi closed the computer and collapsed on the bed.
The distant Tianfu excavation base.
Xie Ming, who was half asleep, suddenly heard a clear and crisp 'ding' in his ears.
"Ah!!"
Shout loudly.
Xie Ming stared at the computer on the table with bloodshot eyes.
At this time, the web page inside has indeed been refreshed.
"Zhuge Divine Crossbow!!"
Looking at the introduction of the new encyclopedia, Xie Ming didn't bother to check it.
I figuratively tidied up the non-existent hair on my head a few times, then took a deep breath and walked towards the room not far away.
Liang Shigu is resting inside.
……
Five minutes later.
Liang Shigu and Xie Ming, wearing pajamas, sat side by side on the sofa with solemn expressions.
After a long time, he sighed quietly:
"Xiao Xie, what do you think of this Zhuge Divine Crossbow?"
"..."
"Ah? Me?"
It seems that I have been concentrating on the analysis just now.
Xie Ming was suddenly startled and then said hesitantly:
"Although Niu Shou No. 1 has proven the authenticity of the information in this nonsense encyclopedia, I always feel that there are many problems with this Zhuge Shennu."
"Except for the purely imaginary content in the painting, the size of this thing alone probably exceeds the category of 'weapon'."
"Even siege or city defense weapons cannot be made to this size."
"What's more..."
Looking at the dazzling light from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in the picture, Xie Ming continued to frown and said:
"Students suspect that this is even deliberately released false information."
Xie Ming spoke with some hesitation.
Liang Shigu's eyes changed slightly when he looked at him.
The sudden activation of 'Niu Shou No. 1' in the underground cavity is still top secret.
The sudden change that occurred in the command hall was 'identified' as a hallucination caused by the soldiers' fear of claustrophobic space.
Xie Ming's current analysis seems to be quite satisfactory to Liang Shigu.
The two were talking.
Outside this temporary room, there were a lot of footsteps.
"Huh?"
Different from the surprise and uncertainty on Xie Ming's face.
Liang Shigu smiled slightly and said:
"It's okay."
"There must be some new discovery."
As if he could predict something, Liang Shigu had just finished speaking.
There was a slight knocking sound outside.
At the same time, there was also a strong male voice.
"Did Teacher Liang sleep? There is a new discovery in the underground cave... I think you would like to see it with your own eyes!"
Listen to the man's voice outside.
Xie Ming's instinct was to stop breathing.
Unlike the fringe archaeologists like him, the man outside can be said to be a real federal figure.
Born in the Jiang family of the former royal family, he is the youngest Lieutenant General of the Federation Army in history.
Five years ago, in the 'Libra Gang Terrorist Attack', a federal hero single-handedly shot and killed hundreds of terrorists.
Holder of the ‘Federal Hero Medal’—Lieutenant General Jiang Yuan.
"New discovery?"
He didn't seem to notice Xie Ming's nervousness beside him.
Liang Shigu showed a trace of interest on his face and looked at Xie Ming beside him:
"Xiao Xie, are you interested in going down with me to have a look?"
"..."
……
When leaving Liang Shigu's temporary residence.
The scene outside made Xie Ming feel a little nervous.
The area near the excavation site, which was originally a patch of forest, has now been completely bulldozed.
Instead, there are layers of barbed wire and huge searchlights that illuminate the sky.
All around, there are groups of heavily armed soldiers patrolling.
The huge egg-shaped building that originally stood in the distance was demolished and replaced by a huge silver-white elevator.
Countless soldiers driving forklifts are still delivering supplies to the elevator.
"Arrived!"
First, he carefully guided Liang Shigu up the elevator, then Jiang Yuan looked at Liang Shigu and said with a smile:
"Teacher, it's not the students who are unruly."
"But the large hollow below itself extends in all directions, the air is always circulating, and the crack not far away is even connected to an underground river!"
"It should have no impact on Niu Shou No. 1."
"..."
Listening to Jiang Yuan's explanation, Liang Shigu gave a noncommittal hum and seemed not to care.
At this time, the huge elevator also began to move slowly with a "rumbling" sound.
Gradually accelerating towards the ground more than 200 meters deep.
……
The depth of two hundred meters is not long for the elevator that keeps roaring.
In less than two minutes, the elevator left the smooth boreholes around it and entered a huge cave that looked like daylight.
"Ah, how could this be?"
Looking at the densely packed searchlights on the underground hollow dome, a look of anger instantly appeared on Xie Ming's face.
Antiques are most afraid of light.
How precious are the excavated objects from the fault era? How dare the military do this?
But at this time Liang Shigu didn't say anything.
How could he, a small archeology professor, dare to talk in front of a powerful federal lieutenant general?
Just when Xie Ming felt aggrieved, the elevator completely stopped at the bottom of the cave.
Looking at the 'Niu Shou No. 1' standing like a giant with its head held high, only a hundred meters away from me.
Xie Ming couldn't care less about losing his temper.
He looked eagerly at Liang Shigu beside him.
He had already seen clearly that huge scaffolding had been built near Niu Shou No. 1.
Countless figures in protective clothing are busy up there like worker ants.
"No rush, no rush!"
With a chuckle, Liang Shigu looked at Jiang Yuan beside him.
"Jiang Yuan, where is the new discovery you mentioned?"
……
Under the escort of Jiang Yuan and a group of soldiers, Liang Shigu and Xie Ming bypassed the huge "Niu Shou No. 1".
Stopped at the edge of a deep pit dozens of meters away from Dayue.
The originally dark pit was now illuminated by countless searchlights, leaving no blind spots.
What appeared in the pit made Xie Ming's expression change drastically.
If he read it correctly, the inside had been completely cleaned out and was filled with huge crossbows with complex patterns and exquisite carvings.
Astonishingly, it is the ‘Zhuge Divine Crossbow’ that was just updated on Hubian Encyclopedia.
"..."
Xie Ming stared with trembling lips.
A group of experts who were milling around the numerous instruments in the pit also spotted Liang Shigu in pajamas.
At this time, they no longer cared about jockeying for position, and bowed respectfully to Liang Shigu.
"Hello, Teacher Liang!"
"It's so late, why are you still here!"
"All data analysis will be sent to your desk tomorrow morning!"
Amidst the compliments of a group of experts.
Liang Shigu shook his head indifferently and chuckled:
"My old man can still hold on, but you guys...don't miss work!"
"Continue! Continue!"
Faced with Liang Shigu’s urging, a group of people didn’t say much.
His attention quickly returned to the many instruments in front of him.
Jiang Yuan, who was watching all this from behind, had a faint fear in his eyes.
If any of the experts present were to pick one out, they would all call it a national treasure and academic hegemony.
A person who dares to curse even when he sees the federal president.
But in front of Liang Shigu, a 'living fossil', all of them were as obedient as primary school students, not daring to disobey at all.
"Is this the living fossil of Zhuxia's academic world, the Dinghai Shenzhen?"
"One of the people behind the scenes who forced my Jiang family to abdicate?"
