So, a group of people with equipment crossed the green low hills and climbed the steep white mountain.

Occasionally, gravel rolls down and someone slips.

"Glinton, be careful, you are our only mechanic!"

Albert shouted.

Raising his head, Hu Grinton smiled: "It's okay. Don't worry, I will continue to modify the machine until I am 80 years old!"

In the midst of difficulties, everyone installed one shock wave transmitter after another, and then put down the main instrument at a suitable place.

"Okay, the first mountain."

In anticipation of many eyes, Albert pressed the button.

Under the link of the radio signal, the transmitters fixed all over the mountain suddenly sent out invisible shock waves.

The main instrument receives the feedback of these shock waves, and through the processing of built-in algorithms, the screen begins to build a picture of its internal structure bit by bit.

Everyone was nervous.

After more than ten minutes, the image construction is complete.

"Okay, there are more than 600 gaps in total. Now let's filter them and rule out the ones that are too small."

Albert sets the filter value.

Eventually, three red spots appeared on the screen.

"There are only three gaps that can accommodate more than five people, and the scale is not large, but I don't think we can just ignore it like this. We still have to probe 20 for imaging."

Everyone else agreed with the proposal.

The three gaps were basically on the mountainside. They anchored and descended by Rachel's rope, the strongest and most flexible.

"I'm going down."

With the safety rope tied and chewing gum, Rachel descended slowly on the rock wall.

The fairy-tale world under the mountain has become extraordinarily small.

The high-altitude wind was blowing violently, and she swayed in the wind, trying her best to stay steady, while others looked quite thrilling.

"Take your time, Rachel, don't rush!"

"clear."

After arriving at the designated position, she pointed the hanging instrument at the wall and carefully observed the image displayed on the screen.

"Guys, there are no traces of human buildings in it." Rachel shook her head and turned to the radio with some disappointment.

"It's okay, come up, let's go to the next place."

After the group had finished retrieving the first mountain, the sun had already set in the west, so they could only go back down the mountain and find a suitable place to camp.

The team members brought self-heating food, so there was no fire.

They sat and ate together, and in the distance, under the pure orange-red sky that was gradually dimming, the rolling white mountains seemed even more magnificent.

In the semi-darkness, no one spoke, and they were all enjoying the silence at the moment.

Hu Grinton was the oldest, and the ravines on his face had already cast shadows.

After a long while, Albert got up and took out a case of beer, and threw it one by one: "Then. Don't be discouraged, today is the first mountain, and there are nearly five or six others waiting for us."

"Don't worry, Captain, we understand!" He Yao stroked his eyes and said.

Grinton smiled and said, "That exploration was not a competition of perseverance, but a long wait."

"That's good, come on, cheers!"

"cheers!"

The five cans of beer collided and the drinks were spilled. Albert and others ended the first day of exploration.

...

Work at sunrise, rest at sunset.

In the next few days, Albert and others thoroughly searched one mountain after another. In the boring time, once they found a large enough gap, they would be very excited.

Although the end result was disappointing.

Time has passed, and there has been no clues to gain, and everyone's mood gradually sinks.

In the past exploration, trying to pour it out like water can always yield something, even if it is just a clue.

But here...

When the last mountain was retrieved, but there was still no trace of the Holy Shield station, the atmosphere of the team suddenly fell to the bottom.

"Are you sure it's this place? After all, the description in the book is already twelve centuries ago."

In the camp, African-American wilderness survival expert Lauryn asked questions.

Albert nodded: "I'm pretty sure, after all, for the geographical environment, the changes of more than a thousand years are really insignificant."

"Indeed." He Yao agreed.

"Then why do we have to stare at these white mountains? What about the surrounding low mountains? Are they within this range?"

Lauryn advises.

After thinking for a while, Albert nodded: "There is such a possibility, starting from tomorrow, let's start with these low mountains."

"Wait, folks, I should probably pour some cold water."

Rachel said seriously: "Recalling carefully, we actually made a logical error. Part of a document is correct, but it does not mean that the entire document is correct."

"The existence of the Holy Shield does not mean that the Holy Shield station must exist. Even if it exists, it is not necessarily here. Maybe the captain's ancestors remembered it wrong, and maybe the person who copied it copied it wrong. It is possible."

Rachel's words loosened the team's already shaken confidence.

The camp was silent for a while.

As the captain, Albert couldn't let this situation continue, and cheered:

"We haven't finished the search completely, everything is still unknown, cheer up, maybe a miracle will happen in the next moment."

The ground suddenly trembled without warning.

"what?"

The players stood up immediately.

"Earthquake!" He Yao shouted.

The old man Greenton didn't panic at all, and took a sip of beer into his mouth: "Don't be nervous, we are in an open area."

...

at the same time.

Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology ingv.

The staff on duty put their feet on the table, sipping Coke and eating fried chicken comfortably, while swiping hot dance videos on their mobile phones.

"Oh, it's really good!"

He complimented excitedly.

Suddenly, the alarm sounded, which shocked him, and the cola fell on the ground and spilled on the ground.

But he obviously couldn't care about this, and quickly climbed to the computer to take a look:

"Earthquake in the northern Bolzano region, magnitude 4.5, focal depth..."

The officer on duty suddenly widened his eyes and couldn't help but tuck his hair back from his forehead: "The epicenter depth is 0 kilometers?"

The focal depth is 0 km, most of which are caused by human activities.

For example, underground nuclear tests!

"When did our country have nuclear weapons?" The staff on duty simply doubted life.

Blinking silently in front of the screen, he suddenly reacted:

"In any case, it's not my turn to worry about it, just report it directly to the management."

...

Just ten seconds later.

The vibrations gradually ceased.

Everyone looked at Albert with incredible eyes, did you open your mouth?

Albert spread his hands innocently: "Guys, I said it was just a coincidence, do you believe it?"

Laurien stared straight at him:

"Captain, your ancestor Matthew has seen the Holy Shield and left such a detailed record, and you also encountered extraordinary people in the hijacking incident. Don't your family..."

Lauryn weighed the words: "Is there nothing special, or any special items?"

"To be honest, I hope so too, but it's a pity, in my memory, everyone in my family is just ordinary people, some of them are spoiled, and the bucket of water will flash their waists."

Albert shook his head.

Suddenly, he noticed that Rachel, who was standing on the periphery, looked shocked and stared straight in a certain direction.

"Rachel, what's wrong?"

Raising her hand without looking back, Rachel pointed to the mountain that was tested on the first day: "Guys, maybe you should look somewhere."

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that under the foot of the mountain, the rock wall was cracked, and the exposed hole was bursting with golden light...
