If you dig up a corpse at the beginning, the system will be awakened directly.

After hearing Su Hao's words, Zhao Guangyi did not stop him. After all, there were two caves on the other side of the cave that had not yet been excavated. He felt that with Su Hao's luck, he would have to dig something out from inside, and because the people of the exploration team were Wolf Boy chose to call the police. It took about an hour for the police to arrive at the scene, and immediately took Wolf Boy to the hospital for examination.

"Shall we follow Su Hao to dig those two holes now?" Zhao Guangyi followed Captain Yan beside him and asked: "Do you still need to go back to the Yubi Ancient City to recruit people? I'm afraid that all the cultural relics unearthed will be destroyed by Dongguang later. People from the museum over there robbed it.”

"Don't worry, I left two people there." Captain Yan replied: "I'm afraid that Su Hao will dig out something that he can't control later. Let's just follow him. He is the first One day at work, I don’t want anything to happen to him.”

"Yes." Zhao Guangyi agreed very much with Captain Yan's words: "Su Hao, just go ahead and dig. With people from our exploration team following you, there's nothing we can't identify!"

"Okay Brother Guang."

Although Su Hao wanted to complain that he could actually identify the things he dug up, he didn't want people to know that he had a system, and there were so many people following him. If there was any danger later, they would In fact, there was an opportunity to take care of each other, so Su Hao simply asked them to follow him.

If you really find something later, ask them to come over again and a whole day will easily pass.

Today was the last day of his professional job as an excavator. He didn't want to switch to other industries without digging out any hair. In that case, it would be too anticlimactic.

Everyone climbed over the mountains and ridges until they came to the location of the second cave. This cave was much larger than the cave where the wolf boy was found just now. It was surrounded by dense weeds. It might be the first time they had set foot in it in recent years. Humans here.

Fortunately, the slopes around here are not very high. Even if they go to the top of the mountain, it is only a little over [-] meters. In this case, it is quite easy for the excavator to drive up the mountain. In addition, because it is a small excavator, they He successfully brought the excavator to the site of the second cave.

However, the cave at the site was three meters wide, enough to accommodate several people entering together. The members of the exploration team did not hesitate. They took out their flashlights and shined directly inside. They found that the light did not reach the end. It was very likely that this light would not reach the end. It is a cave that leads directly to the interior of the mountain.

When several people were discussing whether to go in to check, Su Hao volunteered first and walked into the cave with a flashlight. The photographer immediately followed Su Hao's footsteps without hesitation. Others saw this and felt that there was nothing to discuss. They all followed him.

"Look around you."

Su Hao used a flashlight to shine on the surrounding rock walls, and saw that there were scratches all over the rock walls of the cave. Such marks were definitely not caused by nature, although the cave looked like a natural one from the outside. product, but the appearance of these scratches now denies this view.

"It looks like these scratches are thousands of years old."

Zhao Guangyi also studies murals quite a lot, otherwise he would not be able to become the chief expert of the Jinghai Museum at his current age. Now whenever there is any major discovery, Zhao Guangyi basically has to be on site, conduct field inspections and learn various knowledge Finally, now his research on antiquities has actually reached the level of a master.

"It should be that it was left behind by the ancients seven thousand years ago."

Su Hao also judged the specific function of these scratches through the system.

[Scale counting method]

[It is a legacy of counting by local ancients in the Neolithic Age [-] years ago. Scale counting generally exists on wooden blocks or stones, but scale relics are rarely found in caves. 】

Su Hao actually didn't expect that these scratches were actually traces left by ancient people's scale counting.

"Ah, how did you know that this was a scratch made seven thousand years ago?" Zhao Guangyi looked at Su Ha who was carefully observing the scratches and asked in confusion. Even someone like him who graduated from a famous university in the country asked. Even a doctor of archeology couldn't give this answer in an instant. Su Hao's sudden sentence "Seven Thousand Years Ago" immediately caught his attention.

At this time, Su Hao also found that he seemed to have spoken out the appraisal given by the system quickly, and quickly covered it up: "Didn't I think of the five thousand years of history of China? Plus our current two thousand years of official history, plus Hasn’t it been seven thousand years since you got up?”

Zhao Guangyi was very speechless after hearing Su Hao's words: "No, the five thousand years of China includes the Xia Dynasty in [-] BC to modern times! Who told you that the five thousand years of China are counted from the first year of the Yuan Dynasty? ?”

"Ah? Isn't it?" Seeing that he seemed to have fooled Zhao Guangyi into another topic, he continued directly following this sentence. After all, if he was asked to explain, it would be difficult for him to explain this seven-thousand-year-old story. The definition is that the current history of China is basically based on five thousand years. If this is really the mark of seven thousand years ago, it is very likely that it will indirectly change the original history of China.

Thinking of this, the previous excitement of discovering Australopithecus apes could not help but come to Zhao Guangyi's mind. What a terrifying discovery is this that will extend Chinese civilization for a full two thousand years?

"Actually, these scratches are still not proof of whether a civilization can continue." Su Hao glanced at Zhao Guangyi next to him, and seemed to have figured out what he was thinking about at the moment, and quickly said: "Besides, these scratches The specific age will have to wait for subsequent testing to determine, otherwise it will be nothing but joy."

"It seems to be the case." Zhao Guangyi was not blinded by this discovery. It was the same when he discovered the wolf boy before. Now that he has had that experience, he naturally understands that he cannot be happy too early. Only when he can truly confirm that this is the child seven thousand years ago Only with the carvings can he burst out the excitement hidden in his heart.

Just like this, we walked all the way to the inside of the cave. During this period, we could see many scratches carved on the rock wall. It is very likely that an ancient tribe once lived here. Each scratch basically represents that period. After all, there were no coins before. Before people discovered that shells could be used as coins, they were all barter for goods.

In other words, it is possible that every mark is an ancient transaction, which immediately made Su Hao sigh with emotion at the wisdom of the ancients.

"Xiao Hao, look over there."

Just when Su Hao was still thinking about how many ancient transactions these carvings in front of him represented, he heard Captain Yan's voice behind him and looked in the direction he was pointing. Su Hao immediately saw a large area of ​​lines. Although the lines on the rock paintings are a bit immature for modern humans, they represent much more meaning than those previously discovered.

The previous carvings cannot prove that a civilization once lived in this cave, but the circles and little people that appear on the rock wall can prove that this was once a gathering place for an ancient clan, and it is very likely that it will be China's history extends back two thousand years. Such a discovery cannot be said to be a shock to the world, but it can also be said to have shocked the world.

"Quick, Captain Yan, take pictures!"

Zhao Guangyi was so excited that he couldn't speak. Originally, he didn't have much hope in coming to the barren mountain this time. After all, it would be extremely difficult to discover something like an ancient extinct creature again, especially after the wolf boy appeared. His mood had already plummeted, but he didn't expect that this discovery would actually restore his confidence again, and his excitement was beyond words.

"It's shooting!"

Captain Yan took off the camera hanging around his neck and kept taking pictures of the ancient rock paintings in front of him. Although he was only the captain of the museum's exploration team, he still had a good understanding of history. He knew very well what the current discoveries meant. !

If nothing else happens, they will definitely be able to appear directly in the history books, allowing students to read and recite their deeds.

"Xiao Hao, call Director Luo and ask him to come personally. He is an expert in this field. I can't judge the true age of these rock paintings."

"Ok."

Su Hao then called Director Luo's phone number.

"Hey, it's Su Hao, haven't you come back yet?"

"Director Luo, we have discovered a discovery this time that is enough to shock China. Brother Guang asked you to come here in person. He cannot identify these discoveries."

"What? Su Hao, are you kidding? You said it was just a false alarm before, and now you say it shocked China? I don't even know if I should believe you!"

Apparently, Director Luo was suffering from PTSD after Su Hao's previous phone call, and did not choose to believe the other party immediately.

"I'm not kidding! Luo Guan, please believe me again. I discovered Yubi Ancient City before. This discovery is much better than Yubi Ancient City. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to call you directly. , I really didn’t lie to you, if it doesn’t work, I’ll ask Team Yan to send you some photos of the scene later!”

There was a pause on the other end of the phone.

Then a loud voice came from the phone.

"What did you say? It's much more powerful than the ancient ruins of Yubi City? What did you dig up? Send the photos over quickly!"

Without any hesitation, Captain Yan directly passed the pictures of rock paintings he had taken to the other party. When Director Luo received the photos for review, he immediately yelled: "Don't mess with the scene. I'm coming over now to record it." Stay, don’t touch anything.”

An hour later, Director Luo also arrived at the scene.

As the head of the Jinghai Municipal Museum, Director Luo has naturally encountered many strange excavation sites, but this is the first time he encountered this ancient rock painting in China. However, he participated in many of them when he went to Spain for exchange and study. Similar to the investigation of rock paintings, many local barren mountains and ridges have similar rock painting remains, but this is China, which makes things not simple.

"This rock painting is much more complete than what was found in Spain. There are many carvings on the outside. It can be said that this is an extremely well-preserved relic of an ancient gathering place. Su Hao, you can't tell me directly on the phone. Can you tell me? You won’t explain it directly if you discover such a crucial thing.”

"I don't know how to say this!" Su Hao replied with some embarrassment. In fact, he was the only one in the team who knew the specific year of the rock painting, but he couldn't expose it, which led to what happened just now. occur.

But when Director Luo came to the scene in person, everything was solved.

"It looks like a product of the Neolithic Age." When looking at the rock paintings on the rock wall, Curator Luo quickly came to his own conclusion.

"How can you tell?" Zhao Guangyi asked doubtfully from the side. Before, he could only tell that this was a previous mural, but he still couldn't specifically tell that it was from the Neolithic Age. But now, Curator Luo; In less than ten minutes, a judgment had been made.

The Neolithic Age began about 5000 years ago and ended about 4000 to [-] years ago.

The Neolithic Age is the last stage of the Stone Age in archaeology, a stage of human material culture development marked by the use of ground stone tools.

If it is as Director Luo judged, then doesn't it mean that Su Hao's previous casual conclusion is correct? Zhao Guangyi didn't know what to say now. It was really outrageous that such a coincidence happened.

"Traces. Generally speaking, stones will be damaged after being struck, but this damage will automatically become natural over time. The carvings of these rock paintings in front of you have already been lithified, which further proves from the side. These traces are from the Neolithic Age, so the weathering time matches up."

"I see."

Zhao Guangyi really didn't know this before, otherwise he would have already judged the approximate age of these rock paintings.

"But logically speaking, this is only a preliminary judgment. If you want to determine a specific age, you must judge the age by using stone tools to knock and grind and metal tools to carve hooks and shovels. Of course, using different eras recorded in history It is also a good judgment process to compare and study the production and living conditions with the scenes shown in the rock paintings. Previously, some archaeological experts have put the custom of reproductive worship expressed in the reproductive rock paintings of Xinjiang Tianshan into the primitive patriarchal clan society and examined it. It is based on the fact that it entered civilized society around the 3rd century BC, but we found that this rock painting is obviously much earlier than the [-]th century BC."

"However, just because the discovery of rock paintings from the Neolithic Age can be confirmed now, it is difficult to support the conclusion. After all, this discovery is related to the history of China. These rock paintings record scenes of ancient people sitting on the ground around campfires. If it is really new, A product of the Stone Age, the discovery will definitely shock the world!”
