Chapter 338

Along the way, there are more and more statues, hieroglyphs and unique decorative patterns, just like galleries, all over the passage.

Walking, the soldiers found some secret doors.

Usually at the corner of the passage, behind these secret doors, are stone chambers of different sizes. Some stone chambers are surprisingly large but empty. I don't know what's the use of digging such a space. Some stone chambers are not big, small space, but piled with all kinds of debris. Because the years are long, these sundries have been rotten, can not see the original form.

"Maybe it's wood or fur or something! Like our books, they record some important information, but unfortunately we can't see it any more. " After careful observation, Lin Dong came to such a conclusion.

His expression was very sorry.

It's like losing a treasure full of treasures.

Professor Geoffrey is a little disdainful. He thinks that the Mayans are still primitive people, and the level of civilization is only a little better than tying ropes to keep track of events. No matter how advanced the records are, what is their use in modern society? What's more, the ancient civilization records either sacrifices or strange myths and legends. This kind of thing may be useful for novels, movies and other entertainment industries, such as writing a novel or making a movie with the Maya's theory of the end of the net world. But in retrospect, what is the significance of the Maya civilization for modern science? Sorry, science is moving forward!

As far as the passage is concerned, there is a huge space with gorgeous decoration like a palace at the end.

Gold is inlaid on the wall as a pattern.

And more shells.

Beautiful shells.

Professor Geoffrey's eyes were twitching.

He really wanted to shout NIMA at the Mayans who built the great palace.

"Ha ha, I'm right. The Maya really like shells. In the most important place, they will sacrifice shells to their gods! Dear Professor Geoffrey, quickly, quickly transport these babies back to your base. These belong to you. Don't look at me like that, OK? I promise we won't move a finger! " The Griffin laughed wildly.

"Who cares about that rubbish!" Professor Geoffrey sneers. Do you think I'm stupid? Shell has a wool, I want gold!

"Mr. wood, what do these images show? The hieroglyphs, it seems, are a little different from the ones I saw before? " Josiah was keenly aware that the hieroglyphs here were a little special, as if they were more profound. Of course, they might be the language of another system.

"The images in the palace may be about people paying homage to their gods through sacrifice at that time." Lin Dong shook his head: "as for hieroglyphs, I can't understand them. This kind of hieroglyphic, like you, I just saw it. They are precious relics of civilization. If it is not necessary, I suggest not to destroy their original appearance. If you want to transport the gold back to the base, I hope you can first use paper to print it down, make a physical restoration, and try to keep the original civilization record of the Maya people! "

"Oh no, Mr. wood, you may forget that there are still cameras in the world!" Professor Jeffrey ordered the soldiers: "take photos and peel off the inlaid gold. I don't think putting gold on the wall is civilization. On the contrary, turning gold into money is the best tool to promote science and technology."

"..." Lin Dong suddenly felt that talking to this man was a waste of saliva.

"Take a picture first!" When little Eric saw that Lin Dong liked this kind of civilization record, he thought it was a good opportunity to win over each other: "Mr. wood, if you like, we can completely recover it in the base and let you study it slowly. Gold is valuable, but we can not care, as long as you are willing to stay, we can give you anything

"There seems to be a secret door here!" Fox found something on the side of the palace.

People rushed over.

Push open the heavy secret door.

I found that it was full of all kinds of skeletons.

There are human beings and animals, which are piled up like mountains.

Professor Geoffrey was not interested in these ancient bones. He picked up a bone and found that it was so brittle that it broke when he held it lightly. Countless powders were stained in one hand, which made him feel bad.

"It's true that the records of the secret disk of the era are correct. In ancient times, there were many Mayan leaders who came here to worship and sleep." Murmured Josiah.

"This kind of bone should be that of winged snake?" Fox has another discovery.

She pointed to a pile of broken bones.

He motioned to Lin Dong to look over.

Lin Dong nodded: "it's really the bone of the winged snake. Moreover, this winged snake was very big, much bigger than the one seen in the base. Judging from its broken condition, it should not be weathered, but a bit like being attacked by some kind of creature. His body was hit by a strong blow, his ribs were broken, part of his spine was broken, and even the hardest skull was cracked

Big Ivan guessed along with this reasoning: "is this winged snake killed by a strong Mayan? Is this a sacrifice? "

Philip shook his head immediately: "no, the winged serpent has a superior position in the eyes of the Mayans. Generally speaking, it is impossible for the Mayans to give a hand to the creatures they respect!"

"Is it another creature?" Fox began to look for the "murderer" in the stone chamber.

"Why don't you guess it's to protect its owner, hurt by some creature, and then its owner brings it to this pilgrimage place to sleep? If there is a fight here, there should be traces of fighting in the stone chamber, but there is no trace here, so the probability of fighting here is very low. And from its position before death, it's not like fighting at all, it's a bit like sleeping at ease! You see, its wings are folded up and put on the back. If it's fighting, they should be open... Although I don't know their habits, if it's bird fighting, their wings are usually open and can't be completely folded up, which is not conducive to balance! " Lin Dong denied Fox's judgment.

"There's no point in discussing this! If you want to study winged snakes, we have a live one in our base. Why guess here! Mr. wood, our time is limited, a total of five days, but we have walked for more than two days on the way. If we don't return in time, we may not be able to start the gate again. " Professor Geoffrey doesn't want to take these useless bones back.

Moreover, these bones are rotten. They can't be touched at all. They will be crushed when touched.

He hoped that the fruitful journey would come to an end.

Gold on everyone's back.

Then with the fastest speed, back to the door, waiting for it to open.

Because of the extensive area, we need to make a detour for one day and one night. In addition to the weight of gold, Professor Jeffrey thinks that we need to grasp the time of this return journey. Instead of talking about bones here, it's better to go back and study the living winged snake.

"..." Lin Dong showed a silent expression for the second time.

"Pierce, and Paul, you take a team of gene soldiers and all the soldiers to escort Professor Geoffrey back! Back to the camp, if it's too late, then you go back ahead of time and wait in front of the gate. We should try our best to bring gold, but don't exceed our tolerance. The most important thing for you is to pay attention to your own safety. In terms of gold, we will give you 30% reward according to the total amount we carry! " Josiah found that Professor Geoffrey's jealousy was a little strong, which might affect the Mayflower group's appeal to Mr. wood. So she made a decision to let the soldiers return with gold, leaving only the most powerful gene soldiers.

"Yes, but I'm worried that communication will be affected by the distance." Pierce, the captain of the gene team, has concerns.

"It's OK. We have the ability to protect ourselves! If you can't wait for our return after the gate is opened, you should go back first. When the charging is finished, we will try to open the door in half a month, and then we will be able to come back. " Josiah has another backup plan.

"I understand!" Pierce slapped a military salute.

He's a soldier with ten genes, and all the soldiers.

Prepare to escort Professor Geoffrey back, because entering this channel to get a large amount of gold, the soldiers realized that this trip had great harvest, and their morale was high. They don't worry about the gold inlaid on the walls of the palace. Anyway, they can't run away. As for beautiful shells, these things or forget, in modern society who will not have seen shells? Who's going to think these things are babies?

The female soldier who escorted Lin Dong did not leave, but Lin Dong suggested to little Eric: "let them go back. If time is short, they may not be able to catch up with us!"

"What's your opinion?" Little Eric thinks it makes sense.

"I must be responsible to Mr. wood!" The woman soldier, who was only in a waistcoat and was extremely fit, shook her head.

"Yes, we also think it's safer to follow you!" Several other women soldiers also refused to return with the men.

They're not very strong.

But there are women's instincts, otherwise, they won't be able to come back safely several times.

Follow the men. If you have a safe journey, it's good. If they are attacked by monsters, such as crocodile frogs or rats, it must be the women who will die first. On the surface, they didn't say it, but in their hearts, they had long believed that without Mr. wood's guidance, the men's return journey might not be as safe as when they came. Maybe it's going to take human life all the way, so the safest thing is to follow the "God" man in front of you.

Gold is good, but it needs a life to turn it into money.

Otherwise.

It's better to make decorative patterns on the stone wall!

The soldiers left. Professor Jeffrey left in a good mood with a smile on his face. For him, this underground trip was a great harvest. Mr. wood, it's better to stay here forever. We don't need a genius scientist with a 100% success rate in gene research, but a professor with a 5% success rate.

Only in that way, gene medicine will become more precious!

"Mr. wood, I hope you will come back early. Don't let us worry too much!" Professor Jeffrey said beautiful things on the surface, but he hoped that the young man would never come back. He had better step on some trap and fall to pieces, or meet a huge monster and be swallowed by it.

"..." Lin Dong has decided not to talk to this guy, even a word.

After Professor Jeffrey left, the atmosphere of the team improved greatly.

No one stopped Lin Dong's research.

Even, what Lindong wants to study, Josiah and Eric will provide as much convenience as possible, not mentioning time and return at all.

Lin Dong looked at each shell one by one. Sometimes he would stare at a shell for a long time, as if there was a beauty on it. Josiah was very patient, he let gene soldiers put down temporary tents to rest.

The female soldiers began to accompany Lin Dong to see the shells, but soon they couldn't carry them. They sat on the ground one by one and talked in a low voice, drinking hot coffee.

Accompanied Lin Dong all the way.

It's not Lindong's Griffin.

It's not big Ivan who is bored to sit on the stone bench and drink coffee, but Philip and fox.

"Do you understand?" Philip felt a little strange. To be honest, he didn't know what Lin Dong's action meant. He just accompanied him.

"No, what have you got?" Fox asked with a smile.

"I feel patient!" Philip smiles.

"Me too!" Fox gently stroked the shell on the wall: "I really don't understand why the Mayans set these precious shells on the wall. Since they like them so much, shouldn't they put them in a box and collect them secretly? And these shells are not like the shells in the sea. They are a little too beautiful. At least I haven't seen such beautiful shells before

"These are not only shells, but also the information and maps left by the Mayans to future generations!" Lin Dong suddenly replied to her.

"What?" Little Eric, who was talking with the Griffin over there, immediately dropped his coffee cup and rushed over with Josiah.

"You mean there's a treasure house in this shell palace?" Fox immediately responded: "yes, I always think it's strange that the Mayans should have more than one thing! What they guard should be more. For them, gold is just a kind of common metal, which is only widely used for its luster. And these shells must be more than decorations. Is there a treasure house here? Ha ha, I suddenly want to know what Professor Geoffrey's expression will be like when he knows that he has missed the best baby... "

"Don't be happy too early, I only see a little clue, far from the truth!" Lin Dong smiles.

"Don't worry, we don't worry. Take your time and tell us what you need at any time." Josiah hastened to declare his position, while little Eric on the other side asked the women soldiers to serve Lin Dong with the just brewed tea.

"It's a pity we can't help you!" Philip sighed with regret.

Don't talk about him.

All the people in the audience were dazzled by the views of these shells, and they could not see any way.

Fortunately, they also know that some people in this world are incomparable, especially the terrible genius who can do gene experiments!

Josiah sighed for the first time in his heart about the man who was studying shells. It's a pity that he was a Chinese. If only he were an American!
