Every day is one step closer to reality
Chapter 473 Digging History
Living in this rainforest, it is common to encounter anacondas, and tribal people are also familiar with this kind of snake.
Anacondas, to be precise, green water anacondas, their temperaments are lazy and docile compared to the more ferocious reticulated pythons that have records of cannibalism.
However, this does not mean that they are less lethal.
The chief also recognized the anaconda resting on a dead tree by the river in front of him.
It's not bad-tempered, but it's not very good either.
Generally speaking, the tribesmen do not bother each other with this big snake. They will avoid it if they encounter it, and they will not let children get close to it.
They are at peace with each other.
Previously, a scientific expedition team came to the village to rest. The chief had seen scientific researchers catch the big snake and record data. At that time, it seemed that there were three or four scientific researchers, and it took a lot of effort to catch the big snake and release it. After getting on the boat, I finished recording and then put it back into the water.
But this is the first time in so many years that the chief has seen someone taking pictures from an extremely dangerous distance without making any defensive preparations!
No professionalism at all!
Like a tourist who wants to commit suicide!
But this "suicide tourist" was on his own ship and had a special status. If something happened, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble and he would also have to face an investigation by the United Nations Security Bureau.
The chief, who was in a bad mood, his face darkened and he was about to reprimand.
Feng Yi said before he spoke:
"Don't worry, I'm a professional."
As he spoke, Feng Yi stretched out his hand and gently slid it over the anaconda's body.
He wanted to see where the vertebra in the chief's hand was located on the snake's body.
If the skeleton was complete, Feng Yi could sequence all the bones, but since the chief only had one vertebra, he was not so sure.
Fortunately, there is a reference object. Looking at the anaconda in front of me, I can find it quickly.
"Ah, here."
Feng Yi tapped his finger somewhere on the anaconda's spine and said to the chief: "That vertebra in your hand is at this location."
The chief remained sullen, his eyes dim, and silent.
They were familiar with anacondas, and now they could see that this anaconda had no intention of attacking at the moment, nor was it evasive or vigilant. It was motionless. If it hadn't been spitting out snake letters, some people would have suspected that it was not a living creature!
Feng Yi finished shooting the material, recorded a few data, put the camera away, and thanked the anaconda before turning to the chief: "Shall we continue?"
He wants to talk to the chief about "the giant beast Serpan" today, and wants to visit the area where Serpan's tomb is.
The chief rowed the boat away. After drawing a distance forward, the chief looked back to where the anaconda was.
After they left, the snake quickly slipped into the water. A snake that looked bulky on land was very flexible in the water. It swung its long body, swam for a while, and sank into the water.
Throughout the process, it didn't look like it was sick.
Confusion flashed in the chief's eyes.
Why was this wild, healthy rainforest killer acting so docile just now?
The doubts were unanswered, but the chief did not dwell on the issue. Soon, they began today's conversation.
Maybe it was because the scene just now was too shocking, but the chief's attitude was okay during the whole conversation, and he gave a positive reply to the things he was still considering.
Feng Yi wanted to see the tomb of the giant beast Serpan, and the chief agreed.
"Then let's go ashore now, rest for a while and then set off?" Feng Yi said, "Or you can give me a general direction and I can go there myself."
"The place is not easy to find. We have experienced storms before, so it is difficult to walk in that area." The chief said.
He didn't worry about Feng Yi going there alone. He wasn't worried about Feng Yi's safety. He wanted to watch in person to see what this person would do.
The distance was not close and time was tight. In order to return to the village before the sun set, they quickly went back to make preparations after the negotiation. The chief also brought three villagers with him.
The villagers were walking very fast in this rainforest. Initially, the chief was worried that Feng Yi wouldn't be able to keep up, but it didn't take long for them to discover that Feng Yi could not only keep up, but he could also take photos along the way!
In other words, if it weren't for the purpose of filming, Feng Yi would have left the villagers far away!
The tribal villagers also had an unconvinced mentality and sped up, so that they arrived at their destination nearly an hour earlier than expected.
Feng Yi observed this area.
It was once ravaged by storms and washed away by floods during periods of abnormal climate, and there were not many ancient trees. However, over the past 20 or 30 years, the vegetation has re-covered it, allowing this traumatized place to recover quickly.
The chief and the villagers first performed a kneeling ceremony here.
This is not only the cemetery of the giant beast Serpan, but also the place where they have lived for generations.
After the ceremony, the chief looked at Feng Yi not far away.
As a tribal chief, the development of the tribe is very important, and so is belief.
He needs to consider many factors to make correct judgments and decisions.
They indeed have the "behemoth Serpan" as their patron saint.
A few years ago, the chief would not have agreed to bring Feng Yi here.
However, things are different now. He knew that other tribes had dug up a bone elsewhere, but they didn't recognize it.
In the future, more people may dig up the remains of the giant beast Serpan.
If it is destined to be exposed, it is better to transfer the problem to the experts of the Joint Security Bureau!
There is still faith. If Serpan's tomb had not been destroyed by the storm during the disaster period, the people of their tribe would have been guarding the tomb and would not have let anyone disturb it.
But the tomb was destroyed and the remains were scattered everywhere. Once someone discovers it, those who are pursuing profit will sell Serpan's remains all over the world, or someone may already be doing it somewhere he doesn't know about.
That's blasphemy!
Serpan should belong to this rainforest!
Let the Federal Security Bureau take over and let the profit-minded blasphemers rejoice in vain!
Finding the remains is difficult. Storms destroyed tombs and floods washed away the remains. No one knows where the remains will be scattered.
It may be very close or it may be far away.
This is a long-term process that requires a lot of manpower, material resources and time, and is not an easy task.
The chief thought that Feng Yi would immediately contact the team of the Joint Security Bureau to involve more people and formulate a plan.
Then he saw Feng Yi take out a shovel from his bag.
Chief:? ? ?
Over there, Feng Yi arrived at the target area and felt the remaining aura here.
It was so long ago that large areas were destroyed, so of course not much information is available today.
However, there are still some slight energy reactions in the vertebrae of "Giant Serpan". What Feng Yi senses at this time is not the smell information, but those subtle energy reactions.
The energy signal inside is too weak, and it is difficult to receive it from a little distance.
The good thing is, it does exist here.
Feng Yi squatted down and touched the land under his feet.
From the things the chief told him, Feng Yi could tell that his people from hundreds of years ago were really unabashed! You may hide your true identity, but you don’t hide your true identity at all when you raise a pet!
But now, times have changed.
The satellite network covering the sky makes the "mysterious legends" on the ground no longer mysterious.
The development of science and technology, in addition to more sophisticated detection and monitoring of every corner of the world, has also led to increasingly more lethal weapons.
On our own side, survival resources have shrunk and development has become increasingly difficult.
My aunt was able to move freely for many years when she was young, but starting from Feng Yi and beyond, the restrictions would only tighten.
Feng Yi thought that the "Rainforest Travels" he had read before coming here were all written by former explorers or people who entered the rainforest with other purposes.
Those contents, in the eyes of people today, are all "tales and legends" and "exaggerated fictions."
"They don't believe you really existed." Feng Yi whispered.
The land once destroyed by extreme climate has once again given birth to countless lives.
Tall trees with dense branches and leaves block the sunlight above.
In the dark ground and moist soil, plants of different heights are like covers. Together with the soil, they bury many past events in this forest.
Of course, racial secrets cannot be made public, but "pets" on the edge of legend and reality can reappear in the world as witnesses of history!
The man who was bold enough to make a statue of his original form and reveal it to the world once again extended a tentative foot towards the world.
Feng Yi took out the folding shovel from his backpack, dug up the surface plants together with the soil, and moved them aside. Try not to damage their root systems and let them grow somewhere else.
After digging up the surface vegetation, continue digging downward.
The chief came over with three villagers.
"What do you want to do?" asked the chief.
"I want to dig up history!" Feng Yi continued shoveling the soil.
"Do you want to dig up the remains of the 'Behemoth Serpan' here?"
The villagers brought here by the chief were all his cronies, and they also knew the purpose of bringing Feng Yi here, so he did not avoid a few people when he spoke.
The villagers who followed at this time had the same idea when they saw Feng Yi's behavior: What good things are they thinking about? Are the remains of the giant beast Serpan so easy to dig out? !
When the storm ended that year, the chief secretly brought people here to dig. It took a lot of effort and many days of digging, but only one vertebra was found.
Later, I dug here intermittently many times, but got nothing. Instead, another tribe accidentally dug up a piece when they went out to collect.
The rainforest is huge, and the storms and floods that year were also huge. After so many years, no one knows where the remains of the "behemoth Serpan" will be found.
The three villagers looked at the chief and wanted him to give him some advice, or maybe we could help him dig it out?
After all, this expert is spreading coins in the village!
As the party that has benefited, how about we just watch?
The chief did not speak out immediately. He planned to persuade Feng Yi after he finished digging the hole.
His advice is only useful if you have personal experience and know how difficult it is to dig.
More soil was dug out, and another shovelful was dug. Feng Yi adjusted his strength and dug downward carefully.
Upon seeing Feng Yi's performance, the chief's eyes moved slightly and he took a step forward to look over.
I saw Feng Yi digging out an object covered with mud from the pit.
Wipe away the dirt to reveal the original appearance.
The chief was stunned.
Look at the newly dug bone, and look at Feng Yi.
The three villagers also made the same move.
All the process was done in front of them, no fraud.
"How did you do it?!" the chief asked excitedly.
"My professional ability." Feng Yi said.
The chief didn't understand, everything in front of him was beyond his knowledge.
What kind of professional ability can dig so accurately? !
The chief stared, taking the vertebrae covered in mud to identify it, to make sure it was real!
After rough cleaning, the general appearance of the bone can be seen.
This is also a vertebra. Its position on the entire snake skeleton is farther back than the vertebra in the chief's hand, and it is slightly smaller, but compared to the existing anacondas in the rainforest, it is significantly larger.
Most people can't see it. What they usually see is the complete body of the anaconda armed with muscles, not the skeleton.
But the natives and tribesmen here can tell them apart at a glance.
Feng Yi took the vertebrae back from the chief and said to the chief: "The giant beast Serpan, that's right."
Buried in a tomb three hundred years ago, the skeleton was well preserved before the tomb was destroyed.
But after extreme weather destroyed this place, the remains scattered everywhere were eroded by the environment at an increased rate.
For example, on the piece on Feng Yi's hand, obvious erosion can be seen. If you continue to let it go, the remaining weak energy reaction will disappear, and it is estimated that in another ten years there will be no complete bone. The further back, the faster the erosion rate.
Feng Yi looked at the vertebrae in his hand.
Since a tribesman built Serpan's tomb here, there is no need to take it to other lands.
It is impossible to continue to put it in the rain forest. The conditions here are limited and difficult to maintain.
Instead, it can be placed in the Tropical Research Center established by the United Nations Security Council on the edge of the rainforest. There is a huge exhibition hall there with dedicated care and guarding.
But before that, Feng Yi had to find more bones.
After digging out a piece of bone, Feng Yi had no intention of doing all the rest of the work himself.
The remains are buried all over the rainforest. Not only do they need to be excavated, but they also need to be carefully cleaned and protected. Feng Yi does not intend to do all these busy tasks himself, and he is not professional enough in the cleaning work.
Even if all the remains are dug out in the end, they will never be completely his own. This is what current laws and regulations require.
Feng Yi did not immediately contact the local joint security bureau.
Even if they belong to the same organization, discoverers and excavators have different rights to speak compared with others. Once contacted, Feng Yi wouldn't have much to worry about.
In this matter, Feng Yi wanted to get more say.
He did not plan to contact the domestic expert committee immediately.
The committee is all about the big picture and getting more people to benefit.
What should I do if I not only have the right to speak but also find someone to share the work?
step by step.
He must first find an expert who has authority, a true love for this kind of work, and sufficient professional knowledge and skills!
It is best to use the green channel, easily apply for documents, and be able to move across borders quickly.
Feng Yi stood up and looked around, found a suitable place, took out the satellite phone from his backpack, and started an encrypted call.
The satellite phone has the logo of the United Nations Security Bureau. It is a special equipment of the United Nations Security Bureau, but Feng Yi does not use it often.
This matter can be handled with the equipment of the Federal Security Bureau.
Find the number and dial it.
Answer over there.
Feng Yi: "Hello, Steve?"
It’s time to set goals at the beginning of the month again.
