When they first entered the vent of this underground passage, they discovered a nest of "Mongolian sandworms", which are what Western explorers call "death worms".
At that time, Lin Yi was still wondering why this kind of bug appeared here.
That is to say, he recognized this kind of thing and came up with feasible methods to deal with it in time.
In that narrow tunnel, each has advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the diameter of the hole is about the same size as the diamond umbrella. As long as the umbrella leaves are opened, the sandworms have basically no chance of attacking.
The disadvantage is that the space is too narrow and there is no way to use more methods.
However, once these sandworms appear in an open area, they are simply invincible.
Now, seeing the situation around him, Lin Yi basically understood what was going on.
Thinking back to the color of the dead bones I just saw, everything fell into place.
These "Mongolian sandworms" were brought in when they were digging underground fortifications.
At first, they didn't realize how powerful this little bug was.
Set up a formation here and send a team to go deep into it to explore its mysteries.
Unexpectedly, all the advance troops in the front were killed in traps and traps.
The large troops in the rear were also wiped out by the "Mongolian sandworms".
Not only did they not have time to send a distress signal to the outside world, even their own troops did not know where they ended up.
"I understand, this old guy Gong Guisen was trying to find the whereabouts of this unit, so he spent so much effort to go deep into the desert edge of the northwest, in the name of supporting the northwest, to find Miyazawa Hashirama’s troops.”
"That's eighty percent true. Is the whereabouts of this unit really that important to them?"
Wang Qiang asked puzzledly.
Lin Yi picked up the kerosene lamp and looked through the diary on the table. The contents were all in Japanese, which was not very understandable.
The large red-painted box behind him caught his attention.
He took off the padlock, opened the lock, and opened the cover. There was a half-meter-square sandalwood box lying inside.
Next to it, there are several round metal barrels as thick as wrists.
This kind of thing is usually used by little devils to store maps.
Wang Qiang reached out and took the sandalwood box out of the box and carefully placed it on the table.
Lin Yi pushed the opening of the sandalwood box outwards, placed a mirror on it, opened the knob of the lock on it, tied a rope, and slowly pulled it open from behind.
The mirror image is reflected through the mirror onto the mirror in Lin Yi's hand. The situation inside is clear at a glance without facing the box.
Inside the box is an object covered with red cloth, with a bulge in the middle.
Use the tip of the knife to open the red cloth from the side, revealing the true appearance of the thing inside.
The two of them just glanced at each other and immediately opened their mouths.
This box actually contains a human skull fossil.
The whole body exudes a luster similar to that of field topaz, and the fine holes on it prove that it is indeed a skull fossil, not a jade carving handicraft.
"Old Lin, tell me, could this be the 'ape-man skull' fossil that the Japanese took away from us?"
Wang Qiang swallowed.
"It's hard to say, let's go and have a look."
Lin Yi held a kerosene lamp and walked closer to take a look. The inside of the box was padded with a thick velvet lining, and the skull lay quietly inside.
The sculpt is incomplete, missing the lower jaw.
On the velvet cloth beneath it, there is a silver metal nameplate.
One line is marked in Chinese characters and one line in Japanese.
The content of the two lines of text was quite different. The two of them read it according to the text above:
"Fossil skull of Shangjing Man."
Wang Qiang looked at Lin Yi, Lin Yi looked at Wang Qiang, calmed down for a moment, and the two of them shouted in unison:
"Fuck!"
"We actually found this thing!"
With that said, Wang Qiang reached out to touch it, but Lin Yi slapped him hard on the back of his hand.
"Don't move, you can't get this thing."
"I know, aren't you curious? I saw my ancestor was excited, so I wanted to take a look."
"Just put it in a box and look at it. How can you hold the ancestor in your hand and look at it?"
Wang Qiang picked up the sandalwood box and looked up, down, left and right.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I should say it or not. Judging from the bones of our ancestors, they have a short life span."
"Nonsense, how could any ape-man live a long life in the past?"
Lin Yi took the box from his hand, cut off a few pieces of canvas that had not yet decayed from the Japanese camp bed, wrapped the box tightly inside and out, and stuffed it into Wang Qiang's backpack.
"As long as this thing is taken out from here, the shock level will be no less than when the 'Qingzhou Cauldron' came out.
You have to think about whether you want fame and fortune or not. "
Wang Qiang was stunned by his question.
Needless to say, the importance of this thing, as long as it is proven that they discovered it, and the age is correct, as soon as it comes out, all kinds of interviews will come one after another, and leaders at all levels from top to bottom will express their condolences, awards, and deeds report meetings.
What Chen Erwazi experienced back then must be experienced again.
Until now, Chen Erwa still receives interview requests from various media from time to time, and the threshold of their family is almost broken.
"I don't really want this reputation. Can we just ask for rewards? I like to pursue something practical."
"It's a beautiful thought. As long as this thing is handed over from your hands, everything you should have is indispensable."
Wang Qiang frowned and said with a sad face:
"Then who should I give this to?"
"If you don't want the fame and fortune, then just give it to Lao Wei and the others. If this thing is handed over to them, their master and disciple will have nothing to worry about for the rest of their lives."
Hearing what Lin Yi said, Wang Qiang suddenly beamed.
"Well then, let's give them all the fame and fortune, and I'll help them carry it for a while. Don't mention it, carrying the ancestors on your back is a sure thing."
Lin Yi smiled and patted him on the shoulder, turned around and went to the big box and took out the metal tube containing the map.
Unscrew the lid and the contents inside are still intact.
Pull out the contents little by little along the mouth of the barrel.
The first few tubes contained strategic maps drawn by the Japanese. I have to say that the level of map drawing was indeed high. No wonder when we defeated the Japanese, the number one trophy we captured was their atlas.
The two metal cylinders pressed at the bottom of the red paint box have obviously different weights.
Lin Yi carefully opened the mouth of the tube, and a unique smell of chemicals wafted out.
He quickly covered his mouth and nose, poured out the contents of the tube, and spread them on the table.
It turned out that the tube contained several murals removed from the wall with chemical tape.
Judging from the style of the murals, they were definitely works from the mid-late Tang Dynasty, and Lin Yi could tell at a glance that the origin of these murals was neither a grotto nor a Buddhist temple, but came from a tomb. (End of chapter)
