Therefore, Mr. Hu was not at all surprised that the pattern drawn by Yang Qi was not complete. This was too normal. If he got a complete pattern, it would seem a little unreasonable.
Yang Qi didn't know what Hu Lao was thinking, so he quickly asked, "Hu Lao, do you know what the pattern above means?"
He remembered that he had asked Old Hu for help in deciphering the words on the mask of the Grim Reaper. Old Hu was also an expert in words, and combined with his research on the ruins, he might know the meaning of the pattern.
When Yang Qi said this, Xie Wei's eyes lit up. If Mr. Hu knew the meaning of the pattern, then the meaning of the fragments would be clear.
"I'm afraid I can't help you with this. This is not oracle bone script, but a new text code, and I was not in charge of the research at the time." Mr. Hu shook his head with a wry smile.
As an archaeologist, if Yang Qi wanted to ask about some ancient Chinese characters, he would know them quite clearly. Even the characters on the mask of death could be roughly deciphered by Mr. Hu.
However, faced with a new type of writing, a writing that is completely different from the writing on Earth, studying this type of writing, Mr. Hu's research on writing was not only unhelpful, but also a distraction. This was also an important reason why he did not participate in the pattern research back then.
When Hu Lao said this, Yang Qi and Xie Wei both showed disappointment, especially Yang Qi. There were too many characters in the universe. Even in the memory of Emperor Haoyang, there were some commonly used characters. In fact, practitioners expressed their ideas more through the transmission of consciousness.
"Weiwei, come and help me do some preliminary preparations so that when they arrive, we can start the research as soon as possible." Old Hu said to Xie Wei who was standing aside.
"Yes." Xie Weiweiwei nodded.
The "they" mentioned by Mr. Hu are the experts who participated in the development of the ruins and are still alive today. Although Mr. Hu is only an archaeological expert, he participated in the development of the ruins and is still capable of doing some simple preparatory work. With these preparations, it will save a lot of time when the old brothers mentioned by Mr. Hu arrive.
Looking at Xie Wei and the other person who were busy, Yang Qi became a little bored for a while, and Mr. Hu and the other person who were immersed in the preparations completely ignored him.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Yang Qi received a call from Mu Ying, who had already arrived in the Magic City and was heading towards Mr. Hu's residence.
In order not to disturb Mr. Hu's research, Yang Qi made an appointment in a hotel box outside Mr. Hu's residence. After waiting for about ten minutes, Yang Qi met Mu Ying who came from the imperial capital.
"Senior Yang, this is the information you need." Mu Ying handed the briefcase in his hand to Yang Qi. In the briefcase was the file about the Tak Desert ruins that Yang Qi had inquired about before.
"Thank you for your hard work. Take a rest first."
Yang Qi nodded slightly, took the briefcase from Mu Ying's hand and started to read it. After a while, Yang Qi had finished reading the thick stack of briefcases at a glance.
Phew~
Looking at the records in the briefcase, Yang Qi couldn't help but take a deep breath, then looked at Mu Ying and asked, "Is everything recorded here true?"
It is no wonder that Yang Qi had such doubts. What was recorded in the archives was so subversive and completely different from the knowledge he had learned in school when he was a child. Even Yang Qi himself felt it was a little unbelievable.
"Yes, I personally led a team of members from the Ninth Bureau to participate in this incident. I was even involved in the compilation and preservation of the files. I can be sure that everything recorded in it is true." Mu Ying said seriously.
"this… "
Yang Qi smiled bitterly and sighed, "I didn't expect that there was such a story in the Tucker Desert. It is completely different from what I learned in history class before."
"These things are all state secrets in China and can never be announced to the public. So the news released to the public..." Mu Ying sighed lightly. The meaning of his words was obvious. The news released to the public was just a sleight of hand.
Yang Qi nodded. He understood Mu Ying's words very well. After all, such things could not be announced directly to the public, otherwise it would inevitably cause quite a bit of trouble, which was definitely something China did not want to see.
only…
The nuclear explosion experiment held in Luobo was actually to destroy the ruins? The development of the ruins led to pollution leakage. This is completely subversive!
According to the records, when China was facing internal and external troubles, the leader at that time just waved his hand and started to develop the ruins. However, China's scientific and technological strength was too weak at that time, and the foundation of heavy industry was almost zero, let alone cutting-edge technology.
Although some successes were achieved during the development, due to insufficient preparation, accidents occurred during the development process, fuel leaked and caused pollution, so that many researchers who participated in the research died in the ruins. Seeing that the development could not continue, and the pollution might even spread further, the top leaders at the time had no choice but to decide to destroy the ruins. Otherwise, if the news of the ruins was leaked, it would probably trigger the Third World War. Rather than giving the enemy an advantage, it would be better to destroy it directly.
Then, there was the subsequent nuclear explosion in Lopo, which completely destroyed the semi-abandoned ruins.
In fact, the main reason why Mr. Hu was able to survive was because they were doing some rear-line research. Otherwise, if he was doing front-line research in the ruins, he might have died!
"Our current research on strengthening liquid is based on this relic?" Yang Qi seemed to remember something and looked at Mu Ying beside him.
Mu Ying nodded slightly and continued, "It's not just us. In fact, the United States' technology was able to make great progress because they started studying ruins in the late stages of World War II. Their ruins are said to be more intact than those in our country."
"Could it be that the relics on both sides have the same origin?"
Yang Qi was stunned, his face changed slightly, and he asked in disbelief.
"We don't know yet whether they are from the same origin. The United States has strict protection for the ruins, and we have been unable to penetrate. But what is certain is that their research is ahead of us, and it's not just the strengthening liquid." Mu Ying sighed lightly.
As someone who had personally participated in the plan, Mu Ying naturally understood that China was too impatient at the time. If they could have waited a little longer and started the ruins plan after accumulating enough resources, the ruins would not have been wasted in vain.
Although China's economy is rising now, in fact, China has always been very backward in cutting-edge technology. Moreover, the rules of cutting-edge technology have always been set by the United States, which means that as long as the United States is willing, it can completely cut off China's technology chain at the source!
