Origin

Chapter 77 Every second counts

"When did it happen?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan recalled eagerly, "We arrived at the hotel in the early morning that day, and I washed away the paper scraps in the afternoon. The dung truck also arrived that afternoon."

At this time, Wang Xinran calmed down, "How long is the interval?"

Wu Zhongyuan tried his best to recall the details, "After I washed away the scraps of paper, you went to the back room to tell me the test results of the spirit stone. Later, I felt that the room smelled of cigarette smoke, so I wanted to open the window for some fresh air. As soon as I opened the window, I saw that A dung truck passed by downstairs, and you asked me if I farted," Wu Zhongyuan said.

"According to this calculation, it won't take more than an hour from the time you flush away the paper scraps to the time they pump out the sewage. This can't be a coincidence. It should be their fault." Wang Xinran said in a deep voice.

"What should we do now?" Wu Zhongyuan's face looked very ugly. The clue was leaked and he fell into complete passivity.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's ugly face, Wang Xinran comforted him, "Don't worry, the room we live in is reserved for the chief. You sleep in the back room, and the toilet you use is also the toilet in the back room. The sewer pipe should be specially made. "

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, she called and asked the headquarters to send someone to the room where they lived before to conduct a detailed inspection. She also asked technicians to estimate how long the paper would have to be soaked in water before the writing would be completely blurred.

To estimate this, you must know the texture of the paper and what kind of pen the writing was written with. After learning that the texture was kraft paper and the writing was written with a ballpoint pen, Wang Xinran breathed a sigh of relief, because kraft paper will become very loose after being soaked in water, and Words written with a ballpoint pen are also easily blurred.

But when Wu Zhongyuan told her that in addition to the kraft paper, there was also an original Tibetan document written with ink on sheepskin, Wang Xinran almost collapsed. Even if the ink words written on the sheepskin were soaked in water for five or six hours, the text would remain unchanged. will be blurry.

The headquarters had sent people as quickly as possible to the hotel where the two had stayed. The only thing they could do at this time was to wait, anxiously, worriedly, and nervously.

The 18th Precinct was extremely efficient, and they heard back after an hour and a half. Wu Zhongyuan couldn't hear what the other party said, and could only look at Wang Xinran nervously. When Wang Xinran answered the phone, he said almost nothing except 'um', 'ok' In addition, after hanging up the phone, he started to touch the phone again, seemingly browsing something.

"How is it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked nervously.

"There's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Wang Xinran swiped the phone screen without looking up.

Upon hearing the good news, Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's bad."

"That septic tank truck was indeed not sent by the municipal government, and the sewage in the septic tank did not decrease. They should have just removed the floating objects on the sewage." Wang Xinran said.

"What's the good news?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"The good news is that the sewer pipe in the chief's room is equipped with a filter screen. The function of this screen is to prevent some small items carried by the chief from falling into the toilet and being flushed." Wang Xinran said.

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan asked anxiously, "I cut the sheepskin into thin strips and washed it away. Are there any strips of skin stuck on the screen?"

"Yes, two pieces are stuck." Wang Xinran said and handed over the phone.

Wu Zhongyuan took the phone and saw two photos of thin strips of sheepskin on the screen. Although they had been in the damp sewer pipes for seven or eight days, the writing on them was still clearly visible.

The Tibetan text on the sheepskin had already been translated by our side.

It's very scattered. The reason why it's scattered is not because the handwriting is blurry, but because he was extra careful when cutting the sheepskin. He cut it horizontally, while the words on the sheepskin were originally written vertically.

"The others must have fallen into their hands," Wang Xinran said. "Recall what they know and what they don't know."

Even if Wang Xinran didn't say anything, Wu Zhongyuan was still doing this. There were a total of thirty words on the two leather strips that were not taken away by the other party. Some were insignificant, and the other party could guess what they were even if they were missing, while some were insignificant. The content is relatively specific and the other party cannot speculate.

After comparing the memories, Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "Except for the specific location of the formation and one of the steps to enter the formation, they know everything else."

"Please be clear." Wang Xinran had been smoking, and the room was filled with smoke.

"They know that the formation is related to the river, but they don't know where the formation is in the river. That formation is left over from ancient times and is located in an underwater underground palace. There are three people who want to enter the underground palace. Steps, they don’t know how to start the last step." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Are you sure?!" Wang Xinran emphasized his tone.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer immediately, but compared and recalled carefully, and then nodded heavily, "OK."

"I want to send these clues about A.D. to the headquarters." Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. Now that the clue has been leaked, every second counts. Whoever finds the clue first may find the spirit stone first.

Wang Xinran sent the previously intercepted clues back to the headquarters and asked the headquarters to mobilize all manpower to find relevant clues as quickly as possible.

"Are you sure they can't find the formation?" Wang Xinran confirmed again.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "I'm sure, they only know that the formation is related to the river, but they don't know the specific location, and they don't know that the formation is underwater."

"Which river?" Wang Xinran was dissatisfied. Wu Zhongyuan always used "that river" to describe a certain river, which showed that he still didn't want to show her his trump card until now.

Wu Zhongyuan hesitated.

"Tell me, you kept hiding and hiding, didn't you finally show up?" Wang Xinran glanced at Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan still didn't speak. He pondered for a long time and then sighed, "Luoshui, the formation is under the water at the confluence of Luoshui and the Yellow River."

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's depressed expression of "having nothing", Wang Xinran regretted a little. He should not have forced an insecure person to remove his last protection.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Wang Xinran patted Wu Zhongyuan on the shoulder.

"What should we do now?" Wu Zhongyuan was in a state of confusion.

"What else can we do? We have a head-on confrontation with Western hostile forces," Wang Xinran said seriously. "They have strong backing, and so do we. From now on, we will compete in all aspects of strength, efficiency, and technology."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. Wang Xinran was right. Things have developed now and have become a contest between countries. Zhao Ying and others will not contact him in the early stage. What they have to do is to find as many souls as possible. Stone, as long as the spiritual stone in his hand is not enough to activate the formation, in the end he will have to take the initiative to negotiate with the other party.

The coordination work was done by Wang Xinran. The first thing she did was to call in a special plane, an aircraft that could take off and land from major military airports in the country. The major military regions dispatched helicopters and cars on standby to ensure that as soon as clues were learned, they would be dispatched as quickly as possible. Get to your destination quickly.

The next step is to close all libraries for access to county records, strengthen security, and at the same time add firewalls to prevent hackers from intruding into the network.

We also need to recruit top historians and ask them to work together to find and analyze relevant clues about the relevant eras.

"Why such a huge formation?" Wu Zhongyuan was shocked. Wang Xinran's actions were really too big, and it was completely like a battle was imminent.

"Believe me, my opponent is doing the same thing," Wang Xinran said, grabbing his backpack, "Let's go, the car is coming."

"Where to go?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Go to the airport." Wang Xinran opened the door and went out.

Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly put on his backpack and followed, "Where are you flying to?"

"Northwest." Wang Xinran quickened his pace.

After leaving the door of the guest house, a military jeep was parked at the bottom of the steps. Wang Xinran showed his work ID, opened the door and got in the car. When Wu Zhongyuan also got in, the car started and went straight to the airport.

Wang Xinran kept playing with his cell phone along the way and did not talk to Wu Zhongyuan.

This is a dual-use airport for both military and civilian use. The car took the two people directly to the plane. It was a small plane. After the two got on the plane, the plane immediately skidded off the runway. The passenger plane that was originally preparing to take off was delayed, causing The small plane gave way.

Wu Zhongyuan never dreamed that he would be able to board a special plane one day. In addition to being nervous and excited, he was also a little scared, "As for that."

"As for," Wang Xinran was still playing with her mobile phone, "Science and technology are the primary productive forces. Your matter involves quantum physics, genetic biology and other scientific fields. Whoever has first-hand information can surpass them in these fields. opponent."

"Am I so valuable for research?" Wu Zhongyuan wanted to liven up the atmosphere.

Wang Xinran may still be communicating and coordinating with various departments and did not take Wu Zhongyuan's words.

"Where are we going now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Wudu, Gansu," Wang Xinran said, "the person we are looking for has already been identified. This person has not changed his name, and is still called Wu Lu. This person stayed in Huang County for more than a year, and was later picked up by Guangwei who was passing through here. General Qian Yunzhi appreciated him and recruited his subordinates. He followed Qian Yunzhi and was promoted to the fifth rank of deputy general. Later Qian Yunzhi retired and returned to his hometown. He took over Qian Yunzhi's position and was named General Mingwei. In the second year of Zhen, that is, 1296, Tubo rebelled and attacked Jiezhou, which is now the military capital of Gansu Province. Wu Lu led his army to suppress the rebellion and died there."

"So fast." Wu Zhongyuan said with emotion. He didn't expect that he could find clues about Wu Lu in such a short period of time.

"He hasn't changed his name, so it's easier to find him." Wang Xinran said, "We can find him, and so can they, so we have to get there as soon as possible."

"Do you know where he is buried?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I only know roughly which area it is." Wang Xinran put down his phone and rubbed his eyes. "It takes time for us to search, and it also takes time for them to search. They started earlier than we did. We hope we can get there before they find the grave."

"It should be possible. We can fly freely, but they can't." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran nodded, "Yes, this is our home court, and we have a great advantage, but we cannot be blindly optimistic. They also fully realize the seriousness of this matter and the huge potential scientific research value. They We will use all available power and technical means to compete with us."

"How long will it take for us to reach our destination?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It will take two hours." Wang Xinran picked up the phone again and clicked the operation. "Now that the situation has become clear, everyone is scrambling for time. They must be out in force. We cannot fight alone. Think about what we may encounter. Question, I will ask the corresponding personnel from the headquarters to come and help..."
