Chapter 629 Searching for Relics(1/2)
~.《》~ Chapter 629 Search for remains
"The appearance of this pattern is actually very wide," said the young man wearing glasses. "Archaeology has proved that the appearance of this symbol as a decorative pattern began in the Neolithic era. Similar patterns can be traced back to the end of the Paleolithic era ten thousand years ago."
In the long history of the human exhibition, the symbol of 卢 has been widely used in Hinduism, Buddhism and Buddhism, and is often seen in religious pictures, wedding ceremonies and decorations. It appears in Asia, Europe,
Among the many ancient cultures of the native African and American people, it is sometimes used as a religious symbol and sometimes as a geometric pattern. It is not surprising that Hitler saw it and used it as a symbolic symbol of the German nation.
"It's rare for me to be strange, haha." After hearing the young archaeologist's explanation, the major laughed again.
"Did you notice anything else special about it?" Haller carefully touched the body of the iron rod with his fingers and asked Atfsnett.
"It should have been a long time," Offsnait nodded. "It is undoubtedly an ancient iron tool, but it is surprising that it has no trace of rust."
"You are very correct, this is exactly what it is incredible." The young archaeologist showed a complimentary look. "For cultural relics buried underground, iron is difficult to preserve because iron is particularly prone to rust and rot. Most of the ancient iron weapons dug out from ancient tombs in my country are beyond recognition, and some even completely rotted. But here, we have found such iron tools that have been so old but have no rust. It is incredible.
"Are the iron tools found here not rust?" Haller asked with his head raised.
"No," the young man gave a negative answer. "We found a weapon in another cave, which contained thousands of swords, spears and bows. They were all very rusted, and some were already difficult to identify."
Ofschnette came to Haller, who began to tell him some interesting stories about archaeology that were irrelevant to the moment, but his hand reached into his pocket and took out something.
Ofschnet stared at the things in Haller's hand. Although his eyes were bloodshot, his mouth did not stop.
In Haller's spreading palm was an iron rod that they saw yesterday, which looked like a blunt bullet. However, there were few inscriptions on the iron rod, only a few words. But what surprised Orfschnette was the shape of this thing.
The iron rod was carved into a squatting man. His head was round, his eyes were two large holes, a tube in his mouth, and a long rod-shaped thing in his hand. His whole body formed the shape of a bullet. When he hit the eye, he looked like a soldier wearing a gas mask and holding a rifle.
"Where did you get it?" Offsnett took a piece of paper and wrote on it with a pen.
"Picked up at the bottom of the pyramid." Haller replied in a pen.
"It's very much like a soldier," Offsnett wrote, "It's so weird, but unfortunately we don't know what they are for."
Haller handed the Iron Man to Offsnett, opened his backpack, took out a note with severely worn cover and opened it, turned to one of the pages, and pointed it to Offsnett.
"This was found in the castle of the Indian princes, where the people had kept this secret for more than two hundred years." Halle quickly wrote, "When the British occupied the entire India, an Indian prince wanted to use it to gain powerful power and drive the British out of India. But before he could implement his plan, his country perished, and the prince died unfortunately. His descendants kept guarding this secret."
“You mean it can start the ‘axis of the world’?” Offschnett wrote.
"I don't think so, but it seems to be a medium for energy from the 'axis of the world'," Haller wrote, "the relevant records of those Indians clearly show this."
Seeing this, the pen in Offsnet stopped. Although the topic on their mouths had turned to today's weather.
“The information we have obtained before also shows that there is the ‘axis of the world’,” Haller continued, “the Chinese must know this.”
"How can you be sure that the Chinese know?" Asked Onfschnett with a pen.
"The archaeological excavations carried out by the Chinese here are very much like looking for something," Haller wrote. "The two archaeologists who led us into the cave feel more like agents. And you just realized that they had flipped over our stuff. It is very likely that they were looking for relevant information, and I suspect they had already found our purpose."
“We should find a way to start the ‘Axis of the World’,” Ofschnett wrote. “We must be ahead of the Chinese.”
"It's a pity that we know nothing about how to start it." Haller wrote somewhat dejectedly.
“There shouldn’t be anyone there at night,” Offsnett wrote, “we can sneak in at night to try.”
"Okay. Let's notify others separately in a while," Haller wrote.
At the same time, in a room not too far from Hart and others' station, Zhuo Ya wrote a secret report, handed it over to the major for a review, and sealed it with a special seal, and handed it over to a messenger.
"If I guess it's good, they might take action tonight." After the messenger left, the major looked out the window and wrote on a piece of paper with a pen.
"Then let's help them tonight." Zhuo Ya quickly glanced on the paper, smiled slightly, took the pen and wrote, "I really want to see how they activated the 'axis of the world'."
"I want to know too." The major wrote with a smile, "but I still think that it is just a legend, only exists in the fantasy of the ancients, and will not exist in reality."
"I think so," Zhuoya nodded and wrote, "but the Germans are so convinced, I really can't understand."
"Tonight, everything will be decided," the major wrote.
After reading the last sentence he wrote, Zhuo Ya nodded, rolled the paper into a roll, then took the lighter, lit the roll until the roll turned into ashes.
Zhuo Ya and the major of the Chinese army were ordered by superiors and were secretly assigned to this place to perform this special task. In fact, they had known about the identity of Halle and his group for a long time, but considering the intelligence advantages of Germany, they also waited and did not rush to deal with these people.
Late at night, when Haller and his group came to the outside of the cave entrance of the "Sambara" cave, they saw the guards at the entrance of the cave first glance.
Ofschnet seemed to be prepared for this. He gestured to several SS expedition members around him. Several people raised their slender blow tubes and quietly approached the guards under the cover of the night, silently shot a blow-draw with anesthetics at them.
The bodies of several Chinese guards froze first, and then fell softly to the ground one by one. After confirming that they could not fall, the Germans stepped forward and pulled the arrows from the guards and made a "safety" gesture behind them. Haller and Ofschnett led the others out of the hidden place, walked up the stone steps one by one, and drilled into the hole.
Since the lighting circuit was turned off and the hole was pitch black, the Germans turned on the flashlight. With the memory of the day, Haller recognized the markers in the hole with his heart and moved towards the underground hall.
Although the Germans were all dispatched this time, because Haller and others had already come back during the day. Although the markers in the cave were difficult to identify due to night, Haller and Ofschnette successfully brought the team to the underground hall.
Under the flashlight beam, the stepped pyramid appeared in front of the Germans, causing a low scream from the Germans who had not been here during the day.
The Germans came to the pyramid, and Haller carefully shone the base of the pyramid with a flashlight and observed the carvings on it.
After daytime excavation, the base of the pyramid has been basically cleared out by Chinese archaeological team members. It is full of exquisite stone carvings and murals, depicting the scenes of gods wearing spears and armor fighting against devils and monsters.
The scene was magnificent and grand, and the momentum was majestic. Haller noticed that there was a scene of the gods fighting in the sky on the picture, and he couldn't help but secretly amazement.
Without Halle's instructions, the SS Expedition members began to scatter and searched in the hall according to their "professional" differences.
Since there was no clue to the "world axis" being activated on the stone carvings at the base of the pyramid, the people of Haller and Ofschnet came to the iron pillars on the top of the tower and carefully observed them around the iron pillars again.
"Look at what I found?" Wolf followed to the top of the tower and handed a dusty short iron rod to Haller.
"I thought the Chinese had taken all these things away." Haller took the iron rod in surprise, brushed away the dust on it, and observed it carefully under the flashlight light.
This iron rod is almost exactly the same as the one seen in the Chinese major tent. The rod is also covered with mysterious words and patterns, and the two ends of the rod body are also engraved with the character "南".
"If possible, we'll find a way to bring this thing back to Germany," said Ofschnette.
Haller nodded, and suddenly something seemed to appear. While he looked at the iron rod in his hand carefully, he looked at the iron pillar beside him from time to time.
"What did you find?" Ask Offschnette anxiously.
"Look at the inscription on this, it is the same as the inscription on this pillar." Haller said.
"It's a pity that we can't interpret these inscriptions." Mandel, who followed the tower, said.
"If I guessed it well, there should be nine iron rods like this," Haller said. "They should correspond exactly to these nine iron pillars."
Ofschnet shone the nine tall iron pillars with a flashlight, carefully observing their arrangement, and he noticed that the nine iron pillars were just arranged in a square shape, standing at the top of the pyramid.
Haller seemed to find inspiration from Asfsnett's movements. He shone a flashlight on the ground beneath his feet and couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"What do you think of these patterns represent?"
Haller's voice attracted the attention of other team members. Everyone rushed to the top of the tower. Haller asked everyone to shine the flashlight under his feet. The team members did as they did. Soon, the patterns under the Germans' feet were clearly displayed.
With a square surrounded by nine iron pillars as the center, there are various large circular holes, with tens of thousands of them, and these dense holes are arranged into a huge character "南"
"See, the arrangement of these nine iron pillars just forms a relatively symbol." Haller walked into the square formed by the arrangement of the iron pillars and said.
"God is destined to discover this secret." Mandel said in surprise and proudly.
As if he understood something, he came to the center point of the top pattern of the tower, squatted down and shone it with a flashlight, looked carefully for a while, and called Haller over.
"Look, there is a stranger symbol here," said Offsnett.
Haller squatted down and looked carefully. Sure enough, a word "向" that was about 15 cm square appeared. At the apex and inflection point of the word "向" there were nine circular holes respectively.
Haller measured the size of the hole with his fingers, and then took out the iron rod full of inscriptions from his backpack.
"It seems like I can just insert it." Offsnett understood what Haller wanted to do and nodded.
Haller asked Ofschnet to determine the position of the iron pillar that was the same as the inscription of the iron rod. After finding the right position, Haller inserted the iron rod into the corresponding position of the "天" character.
After Halle let go of his hand, people's eyes focused on this iron rod.
The iron rod inserted there seemed to move slightly, and a "click" sound was made, as if it was stuck with something, and then there was no sound.
Everyone was waiting with their breath, but after a while, the surroundings were still as quiet as death and nothing happened.
"It seems that only by inserting all nine iron rods into it can it be activated." Wolf said.
Ofschnette thought for a while and said to Haller: "Give me that 'bullet'."
Haller looked at Offsnett with some surprise, took out the iron rod of the human-shaped bullet he had picked up from his arms and handed it to Offsnett.
Ofschnet took the "bullet", measured its diameter with his fingers, and stood up to search among the many holes that formed the large "bullet". Soon, he found a hole with the same diameter and put the bottom of the "bullet" facing down.
It was similar to the situation when the iron rod was inserted. The "bullet" moved slightly at first, and then it seemed to be stuck with something, only half of it was worn outside, and it stopped moving.
After waiting for a while, the Germans noticed that there seemed to be a slight vibration under their feet, and suddenly, a blue light flashed through the "bullet" and the iron rod and the iron pillar at the same time.
"What's going on?" Haller noticed this strange phenomenon and couldn't help but scream in surprise.
"There is an electric current passing through." Offsnett stretched out his finger and stumbled his heart to the half of the "bullet" exposed outside.
Haller touched the iron rod with his hand, and also felt a slight electric current passing through his fingers, giving his fingers a numb feeling.
"This iron rod may be an electrode, and the 'bullet' is likely to be something like a battery," said Offsnett. "As long as these electrodes are turned on, the 'axis of the world' should be activated."
"Does we have to fill all these holes with the same thing to start the 'axis of the world'?" Wolf asked a little depressedly.
"We came here from afar to complete such a mysterious puzzle." Mandel smiled bitterly, "This is really too difficult."
"There are a lot of such things in the hands of the Chinese." Haller looked at Ofschnett and said, "If it were us..."
"They won't give it to us, and let's not tell them this secret." As Obschnet said, he pinched the "bullet" with his hand and pulled it out of the hole with force. "What we can do should be to bring these two things back and report the details to..." He remembered Himmler, the national leader of the SS, who is currently uncertain about life and death, and shrank down the words behind him.
Haller understood what he meant, and followed his movements to reach out and pulled off the iron rod with the character "博" down.
