parallel world.
Blue Star March 2024 AD.
Guanggao City, the fourth province of the Dragon Kingdom.
Wang Xiao held a box in his hand. He sat on the ground and carefully studied the patterns and lines on the box. He was so absorbed that he forgot that he was more than ten meters underground.
Countless bronze vessels of various shapes are scattered around, and rows of mounds and ravines separate the burial places of the bronze vessels.
Viewed from a high altitude, this is a huge tomb, covering an area of about 12 square kilometers.
This is the Dragon Kingdom, and even the world-famous archaeological site - the ancient Sanxingdui ruins of the Dragon Kingdom.
Wang Xiao graduated from university with an archeology major three years ago. After passing the screening process, he successfully joined the Sanxingdui Site Archeology Office with excellent results.
This year is Wang Xiao’s third year working at the Sanxingdui site.
The salary has not changed, and the position has not changed. I am still a front-line cleaner.
At this time, only Wang Xiao was left in the deep ditch and pit, and other colleagues had left work early to have dinner.
Wang Xiao, who was staring at the bronze box, had forgotten himself, and gradually felt that his soul was being sucked into the bronze box.
A burst of fluctuating audio sounded in his ears. This was a magical audio frequency. No creature on Blue Star could hear this audio.
Wang Xiao also only heard the audio through the bronze box, but didn't know what it meant.
Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed from the bronze box.
Wang Xiao immediately understood the meaning of this audio.
"Have the coordinates been calibrated?"
"Calibrated, Laniakea Supercluster - Virgo Cluster - Local Group of Galaxies - Milky Way - Arm of the House - Gould's Belt - Local Bubble - Local Interstellar Cloud - Oort Cloud - The Third Planet of the Solar System - Blue Star - 11°20 North Latitude, 142°11.5 East Longitude."
"Ready to launch."
"Yes, King"
The audio fades, and so does the glow on the bronze box.
Wang Xiao was in a trance for a while and then came back to his senses. The scene just now flashed through his heart, it was so real. But years of education told him that this was probably an illusion, caused by years of hard work and lack of rest.
Wang Xiao sat slumped on the ground, trying hard to think back and make sure that he was not delusional just now, and then he became very curious about the mystery of the bronze box.
Wang Xiao thought about alien invasion.
Thoughts of intrusion into another world.
Thinking of a comet hitting a blue star.
From the analyzed audio content, Wang Xiao thought of countless possibilities.
There was tremendous pressure in my heart. If any of these possibilities were true, it would definitely rewrite the historical pattern of Blue Star and profoundly affect the fate of Blue Star's 8 billion people.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiao wanted to report the matter to his superiors, but when he thought of his three years of experience in the archaeological office, it was exactly like what a big boss said.
I can't see the bright future, and I can't finish the twists and turns of life.
For those ordinary superiors, Wang Xiao felt that they would be dismissed directly even if he reported them, but even so, Wang Xiao felt that he should report them.
After all, this was an earth-shattering event, and as a member of the human race, Wang Xiao felt that he had the responsibility to report it upwards.
So Wang Xiao took the bronze box, which was about 20 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide, out of the pit. Taking the bronze box, Wang Xiao went straight to the director's office.
Standing at the door of the director's office, Wang Xiao heard the sounds of men and women playing inside, so he knocked on the door.
There was a rumble in the room, as if someone fell from the table and hit the wooden board on the ground. It was accompanied by the sound of some cups and books being scattered. It took a while before it became quiet.
"Come in" came a dignified middle-aged man's deep and steady voice.
Wang Xiao opened the door and walked in.
He glanced dullly at Qian Xiaohua, who was standing behind the director. He was once in the same university and major as Wang Xiao.
A beautiful woman who is somewhat famous in school, has a wide range of contacts, has a wide range of interests, and can get along well with her classmates and teachers.
One is a dull man who studies hard and prefers to be quiet. He has no social activities and can only read. But he is also a favorite assistant of school professors. He is easy to talk to and can keep secrets. This is also the reason why the director took a fancy to Wang Xiao among the applicants of that session.
Although Qian Xiaohua and Wang Xiao were both children from the mountainous countryside, they had no contact with each other. Wang Xiao only got to know her after coming to work in the Sanxingdui Archaeological Office.
At this time, although there was no expression of displeasure or anger on the director's face, the look he looked at Wang Xiao was particularly majestic and sharp, completely different from his usual smile with some kind encouragement.
Wang Xiao didn't pay attention to the director's expression, nor did he look at Qian Xiaohua a second time. Staring at the director seriously, he said dullly: "Director, I have an extremely important report to report."
After hearing Wang Xiao's words, the director looked serious and looked at Wang Xiao quietly, as if thinking about something.
After a while, the director said, "Xiaohua, you go out first. I will guide you in your work later."
Qian Xiaohua responded with a smile: "Okay, director." Then she glanced at Wang Xiao and walked out of the director's office gracefully.
Wang Xiao turned around and walked to the door, closed the door, returned to the chair in front of the director's desk and sat down. Taking out the bronze box and placing it on the table, the director was shocked and opened his mouth to scold Wang Xiao angrily.
"Director, be quiet and listen to me." Wang Xiao first interrupted the director.
Hearing this, the director gave Wang Xiao a cold look. I thought to myself, if Wang Xiao can't come up with a reasonable reason, Wang Xiao will look good.
Seeing that the director suppressed his anger, Wang Xiao said, "This is a bronze box brought from the Sanxingdui ruins."
The director said nothing and could only stare at Wang Xiao coldly with anger. What I was thinking was that it was too much to bully others. Although I was not very professional, I still didn’t recognize the bronzes in the Sanxingdui site that I was in charge of. Well, Wang Xiao, is this director so unbearable in your heart? I just want to be banged!
Wang Xiao continued: "When I was wiping the box just now, the box glowed..."
The director patiently listened to Wang Xiao's story, then reached out to pick up the bronze box, observed it carefully, and wiped it, but there was no reaction on the bronze box.
After a few minutes, the director put down the bronze box, and all the anger in his heart dissipated.
Smiling and kindly said to Wang Xiao: "Xiao Wang, I know that the promotion request you submitted last time was not approved, and you feel very stressed, but don't be discouraged!"
"You are still young and have solid professional knowledge and skills. You are a talented person in our Sanxingdui Ruins Archeology Office. You can be promoted at any time."
The director pondered for a while and then continued: "Let's do this! Next time, I will definitely agree to your request for promotion next time. How about that?"
Wang Xiao shook his head after listening to the director's words.
The director suddenly became unhappy and said: "This is not satisfactory, Xiao Wang! You must know how to be grateful as a person, you know!"
Wang Xiao said: "No, Director, I am in a normal state of mind. One of the possibilities mentioned just now may actually appear in our Blue Star."
The director looked at Wang Xiao pitifully, and felt a little guilty that he had squeezed Wang Xiao too hard, causing Wang Xiao to become mentally disturbed. I could only say to Wang Xiao earnestly: "Xiao Wang! The director is very optimistic about you! I will seriously consider what you said. Don't worry, I absolutely believe that you are not telling lies."
Wang Xiao looked at the director's serious expression and nodded with confidence.
The director spoke again: "Xiao Wang! You go back and have a good rest for a week. I'll give you a day off. You've worked hard during this period. It's a paid day off. You can walk around and have fun. Relax and don't tense up." "
Looking at the kind director, Wang Xiao was a little touched and said softly: "Thank you for your concern, director." Wang Xiao turned and walked out of the room.
"Wait a minute" the director suddenly called to Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao turned around and looked at the director with confusion on his face. He didn't know why the director stopped him.
"Bring the bronze box and put it on the bronze shelf. You can't take the bronze out without permission in the future."
Wang Xiao was surprised by the director's words. Isn't this bronze box used as evidence to explain what I just said? Why bring it back?
Soon, a flash of light flashed in Wang Xiao's heart, and he suddenly understood that the director had just deceived him and did not believe what he just said.
At this time, looking at the smiling and kind director, Wang Xiao was at a loss for words. He could only sigh and walked out of the director's office with the bronze box.
After returning to his bedroom in the Sanxingdui Archaeological Area, Wang Xiao recovered from his loss. Only then did he realize that he had not placed the bronze box on the shelf in the designated area for placing bronze vessels, and was still holding the heavy bronze box in his hand.
Wang Xiao looked at it and put it on the table next to him. Then, he got up and went to the kitchen to prepare something for dinner.
After a while of busy work, I fried two vegetables and cooked some rice. He sat at the table and started eating, thinking about the bronze box while eating.
After passing by the director, Wang Xiao also began to feel a little unconfident. What he felt was true or false. His feeling told Wang Xiao that this matter was most likely true, but his reason told Wang Xiao that this matter was most likely an illusion.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiao decided to make a short video about this incident and publish it online to remind people who saw it to pay attention to it.
So, after eating, Wang Xiao found a social platform with relatively large traffic and started making videos.
Half an hour later, Wang Xiao finished the video, clicked publish, and earned some money to increase the exposure of the video.
After doing this, Wang Xiaosui turned off the computer and prepared to lie down on the bed. When I passed by the table, I saw a bronze box, so I picked up the box and lay on the bed to look at the patterns and lines of the box carefully.
Those patterns are like some Taoist talismans, and the lines on them are like the lines on a circuit board. They are very magical, and feel like a combination of metaphysics and science.
The previous light also lit up from the pattern, and then spread all over the box along the lines, and then the meaning of the audio was analyzed.
