Chapter 109 Atlantis in the Desert

A dazzling palace emerged from the water hanging upside down above our heads, along with a history that had never seen the light of day.

Countless islands are arranged in a loop on the sea, just like the legendary Penglai fairyland in my country, but there is no trace of fairyland.

There is a towering city wall on the periphery of the most central island. The city wall is composed of a huge statue. Facing the sun is a face that looks like a human but not a human. Under the giant statue of a human face is a huge gold base that matches it, and is decorated with countless rare objects.

Surrounded by metal, it shines with dazzling light, making people want to be impressed when they see it. The densely packed giant statues are intertwined within the interlocking golden city wall, and the criss-cross ocean currents pass through the city like a big river. There are dense temples on the island.

There are many trees on the only land. A palace in the center of the city rises from the ocean, as if it is rooted in the depths of the sea. What supports the towering building in the vast sea is actually a dazzling array of fragile corals. Each island and the temple above it

and the palace are all held together by the connected sea water.

Then I turned around and looked around. There was a glimmer of light in the originally deep sea water in the mural, and it seemed to be flowing, showing the vitality in it. Fish with weird shapes and bright colors were moving lively among the tightly structured corals.

, they look a bit free and cute. Among them are several large creatures that look like skinned crocodiles, gathered together in a naive manner. Judging from the appearance of these marine creatures, they are probably fighting animals.

I thought I was in the deep sea, so I just grew as long as I wanted. But there seemed to be something approaching in the deeper parts of the mural.

The whole picture is harmonious and beautiful, but at the same time it reveals a wonderful sense of strangeness. I was attracted by the murals I had never seen before, and unconsciously wanted to touch the seemingly living sea water.

Li Yuan held my hand. After losing too much blood, his body temperature was so cold that I woke up instantly.

"Thanks, I don't know why I just wanted to touch the sea water." I looked at him and then at the mural: "Don't you think this mural is a bit strange?"

"This mural is indeed very strange. Look here." Li Yuan pointed his finger at some shadows next to the coral and frowned. "These things were not there just now, but now they have swam in front of us. It seems like this

It’s like the mural is moving.”

"Don't scare me." Actually, I think this mural is alive, but it's too unbelievable. Especially those shadows that look like humanoid shapes. "You said there could be something like this two thousand years ago?"

A diver?"

Not to mention that Atlantis described by Plato had fallen before his time. Even in more than 400 BC, it was impossible for anyone to dive into the deep sea that the sun could barely reach and stand side by side with deep-sea fish.

.And the coral with such a tight structure is unbelievable that it grows naturally.

Li Yuan didn't say anything. He didn't let me touch the mural, but he stretched out his hand. I patted him.

"Every civilization has its wisdom." Patrick looked at everything in the mural with fascination. "I knew Atlantis existed!"

The enthusiasm in his eyes gave me a bad feeling. Jacqueline is no longer here. If Patrick, the only one who can explain those ancient Egyptian languages, goes crazy again, let alone sending Li Yuan on his last journey, he may not be able to do anything.

Everyone has to be put here.

"Wait a minute, I'm a little confused." Karl stopped the discussion. "You want to tell us that those legends are all true?"

Patrick nodded and looked towards Buswell.

"I think there are people who can explain it better than me."

Boothwell took a sip of his cigar. Since there was "water" all around, he was not afraid of causing a fire. Under the gaze of everyone, he puffed out his cigar slowly for a few times, put out the cigarette on the mural, and made a "snap" sound.

There was a sound, as if it was really pressed into the water. And the mural did not leave a trace.

"Then let Kawai talk."

The ball was kicked to Kawaii San, and several eyes focused on him.

Kawasan pushed up his glasses. He is a geophysicist who is responsible for simulating extraterrestrial planetary environments in the Atacama Desert in a joint British, American, European, and Japanese project. The narrow desert in South America is called "

"The driest place on earth" is located on a plateau and is composed of continuous saline-alkali basins. Even on the coast, there is a lack of precipitation. Although there are no signs of life, it has been endowed with rich mineral deposits by geological activities. And where Kawaisan is located

The team detected unusual magnetic fields there.

"It is not uncommon for magnetic fields to appear in places rich in metal minerals, and it is even a good opportunity for our research. Because mineral radiation over the years will change the surrounding environment."

When talking about his research, Kawaii San stood up straight for the first time.

"But when we arrived at the place with the strongest magnetic field, we found no mineral veins, which was completely unexpected. Our sponsor thought we could find a new cash cow, so he was naturally very unhappy when he saw this. The speaker asked us to either

Submit the research results within a month, either to find a new mine, or to cut off research funds. Of course, there is really a limit to what we can do in a month, especially since we don’t know where the direction of exploration is. At this time, thanks to Booth

Mr. Weir."

I looked at the bearded man. Could it be that this guy is a secretly rich man? Do the rich people nowadays like to lead by example so much?

Unexpectedly, Kawaisan said: "He not only provided financial support, but also pointed out the direction for our stagnant research. Finally, we found a piece of ore with a strong magnetic field in the hinterland of the southern desert."

This time, not only me, but also Li Yuan and Ya Nuo's eyes also changed. Meng Weiqing still looked very understanding.

That piece of ore was naturally not in Kawaiisan's hands. After getting Buswell's signal, he described it to everyone: "That is the most wonderful creation I have ever seen. It condenses eternity and ever-changing things together. There is a sense of exuberance there."

Inside the green ore, there is an endless ocean current flowing."

The description sounds a bit like opal. This gemstone, which is mainly produced in Australia, is actually a silica hydrate, and sometimes the water content can reach one-tenth. Water-containing minerals like this are very suitable for studying the evolution of the earth.

and the origin of life.

"But what does this have to do with Atlantis?" Carl listened impatiently to Kawaii San's praise of a broken stone.

According to Plato, Atlantis is clearly outside the Pillars of Hercules, which is the landmass at the western end of present-day North Africa. It has nothing to do with Chile. The ores found in the Atacama Desert have more to do with marine civilization.

It's impossible to hit it with eight poles. Furthermore, Atlantis was not soaked in water before sinking to the bottom of the sea, and it is not the same thing as the mural above its head.

The Japanese shrank his neck again and lowered his head humbly, but his eyes were clearly still shining.

Li Yuan asked: "What makes you think there is a connection between that piece of ore and Atlantis?"

"Plate collisions will shape geological zones. If you see that piece of ore, you will feel that an entire civilization is compressed in it." Kawaii San looked at Li Yuan through the lens. "I don't know if that is Art.

Landis. It was a civilization that appeared out of thin air, an ocean dug out of the desert."

While everyone was talking, the dark figures deep in the mural had already swam closer.

A drop of water falls on the ground.

I originally wanted to call this chapter [Haidilao]
