The monster dragon was not very happy. The two big nostrils sprayed with fishy gas. I guess he didn't want his surname Zhou, but he could not help him at this moment. Liu Yan raised his eyebrows and kicked the monster dragon and said, "I don't want his surname Zhou, why do you want his surname Zhao? I'll call you Xiao Zhou."

The strange dragon was frightened by Liu Yanzhi. In addition, the delicious tuna was so delicious that he had to swallow his anger and humiliately accepted the name Xiao Zhou.

Xiao Zhou has a big appetite. Tuna was originally air transported to improve the food for the staff. It chewed the portions of dozens of people and ate them all. The dragon's tongue stretched out and licked its mouth, but it still felt unsatisfied.

"Why, I still want to eat it?" Liu Yanzhi was worried. Where to get fresh fish in this winter? He went out to find Lei Meng to find a solution.

"Just wait, leave this matter to me." Lei Meng patted his chest and took it over.

The Party was overjoyed when successfully capturing a one-stop. The diving bell was not lost, but was hidden by Xiao Zhou in the diving near the dock and was fished out again. If there was only Xiao Zhou in the salt lake, the next work would be much simpler.

Liu Yanzhi's deeds of fighting the evil dragon have been widely circulated at the base, but the Party issued strict orders to not disclose a single word, which would be troublesome to attract journalists. At present, salvage matters must be kept confidential.

The origin of the diving clock needs to be verified. Dang Maiguo personally handled this matter. He flew back to Jinjiang by helicopter and visited the former president of Jiangdong University and a master of modern history. Professor Shao Wenyuan and Professor Shao are actually also the mentor of Dang Maiguo. The two are as close as grandparents and grandchildren, and they are very close and have nothing to hide.

Jiangda District, Professor Shao's study was warm as spring. The old man with white hair looked through the photos brought by Dang Aiguo and murmured: "Diver bell, dragon, interesting." Suddenly he raised his eyebrows, took off his reading glasses and said: "I remember this. In the 1920s, dragons were also discovered in Jiangdong."

Professor Shao is knowledgeable and is known as a bookcase. His grandparents and grandchildren were all scholars of his generation. His grandfather Shao Qiuming was the founder of Jiangdong University and his first president. He was a Jinshi of the Guangxu dynasty in his early years. He was a scholarly family with less than 100,000 books in his family. Many of them were burned down by young generals during the literary and cultural heritage. There are less than 10,000 copies left so far. There are many books in the Song version alone, and there are even a lot of thread-bound books from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

"First of all, let's talk about dragons." Shao Wenyuan hasn't taught people for a long time and talks, "Dragons have horns like deer, head like camels, eyes like rabbits, neck like snakes, belly like mirages, scales like fish, claws like eagles, palms like tigers, ears like oxes. It is undeniable that this is the result of the interpretation of working people in all dynasties, but whether it is virtual is indefinitely. The so-called spiritual symbol combined with various animal totems was proposed by Wen Yiduo during the Republic of China. However, before that, many ancient books have recorded dragons, and archaeological discoveries have also proved that the existence of dragons is very long."

Dang Aiguo is also a history professor, but he can only be a primary school student in front of Professor Shao. He listened attentively and helped the teacher serve tea and water.

"The Records of the Grand Historian? Book of Fengshan" records: Qin Wengong went hunting and captured a black dragon. "New Book of Tang? Book of Five Elements Three" records: At the end of Zhenyuan (805), Zijiang obtained more than 100 meters of dragons, and Wei Gao, the governor of Xichuan, offered him a box. The old surname was viewed. Three days later, he died of smoke. "The Remarks of the Tang Dynasty" records: At the end of Xiantong, Shuzhou Governor Kong Wei introduced a dragon bone. The records here are relatively detailed, saying that there was a thunderstorm in the clouds, and a green dragon died in the courtyard. When it was cut, there was a big sore in his throat. It was more than ten feet long.

All are fish. Only the beard is two zhang long. Their feet are covered with red membranes. The two horns are two zhang long. "History of Liao? The Original Annals of Taizu", "Mengxi Bi Tan? Magazine 1", and "Suan Yi Jian Zhi" have records of dragons. This is in terms of literature and physical aspects. In the 1970s, a C-shaped green jade dragon was unearthed near Chifeng, Inner Mongolia. Archaeologists identified this dragon as a cultural relics of Hongshan seven thousand years ago. Later, the science fiction films made by Americans adopted this shape more than once..."

Dang Aiguo took advantage of the teacher's tea stall and added: "The white jade dragon unearthed from Lingjiatan, Anhui is about 5,000 years ago. This dragon has a clear ridge mane with a clear back ring. The particularly vivid one is the dragon's head in the shape of a bull's head, with two slightly raised curved corners on the head, which are intuitively the double corners on the local buffalo's head."

Shao Wenyuan nodded and said, "Chinese civilization has only been around for five thousand years. The Yangtze River Basin and the Yellow River Basin are the home courts of the descendants of Yan and Huang. The hungry totem in the Central Plains cannot be worshipped by foreign civilizations that are thousands of years apart. The only possibility is that this animal has indeed existed."

Dang Aiguo cooperated and said: "The New China dragon fossil unearthed in Guizhou in 1996 confirms this idea. This dinosaur has a pair of corners on its head, which is very similar to the mythical dragon. This is ironclad evidence."

Shao Wenyuan took out an iron cookie box from the bookshelf and took out a yellowed newspaper clipping booklet from it.

The newspaper clipping book opened, and it was a "Shengjing Daily" from August 1934. It contained news about the discovery of dragon corpses in Yingkou area and photos, but it was extremely blurry and there was no detail to see. Only barely could the outline of the bones, which was indeed like a one-stop.

The text says that there have been heavy rains and the water in the Liao River has risen. Villagers found monster corpses in the reed marsh. For a long time, people carried the corpses to the riverside for exhibition. People in the three eastern provinces all took the train to Yingkou to watch the fun.

This is old news, and the Party and the Patriotic Kingdom have also heard of it. Later, CCTV 10's "Add to Science" column explained it, saying that it was not a dragon, but a stranded baleen whale.

Shao Wenyuan said: "In addition to fossils, this is a recent example. In the 1930s, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. The specific facts were no longer verified. In my opinion, the lonely evidence is often unrealized, but coincidentally, a dragon was also discovered in Jiangdong Province in 1923, and it was in the Salt Lake."

"It's finally the main topic." Dang Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief. He did not dare to drop the book bag in front of the teacher, but he had read the records. There is no need to argue whether the dragon exists or not. There is a tied by the salt lake. What we are looking for now is the origin of the dragon, the relationship between the dragon and the diving bell, and the meteorite.

Shao Wenyuan opened the lattice below the bookcase, took out an old small suitcase, and took out a diary with a patent-covered cover. This was the diary left by his father, which had been around for a hundred years.

"Look, on New Year's Eve in 1920, there were fire meteors falling from the sky, and tens of thousands of people witnessed it near the river, but where the meteorite fell cannot be found. In July 1922, the peasant on the salt lake reported that there were demon dragons in the lake to eat people. At that time, the governor Sun Kaiqin was in power. The warlords only knew about fish and meat, and they were levying heavy taxes. They usually did not pay attention to this kind of thing. However, Sun Kaiqin was a devout believer and believed in everything. To be precise, he was a charlatan. He found auspiciousness like dragons in his own jurisdiction, which would give him associations in his career. In China in the 1920s, warlords fought and were living in trouble, and they were sang and made me appear. Originally, Sun Kaiqin's strength was not enough to compete for the Central Plains, but it was different with auspiciousness, so he hired a few foreigners and spent 100,000 oceans to find dragons."

"These things are not recorded in history." The Party Patriotic Road.

"Of course there is no record. The fishermen living by the salt lake are all illiterate. Governor Sun was defeated and stepped down the country the next year. There was no shortage of news at that time. The death of two Western adventurers in the salt lake caused interference from the diplomatic institutions in their country at most, and they could extort some compensation." Professor Shao stroked the diary, "Even my father had heard of some things, and he wrote them down as jokes and notes. You can see them, you can read them, but you can't take them away."

The Party patriotism put on white gloves and carefully held the diary to browse.

Mr. Shao’s diary was very rough, but he just said that the friend of the Supervisory Office said that Supervisor Sun hired three American adventurers from Shanghai and offered a price of 100,000 yuan to help him catch dragons from the salt lake. He also joked that Supervisor Sun’s military company could not wear cloth shoes, and Jinjiang’s school was still adobe house, so Supervisor was willing to spend huge sums of money to conduct scientific investigations. Is this a blessing or a joke?

A month later, it was recorded that the adventurer escaped with money, and the 100,000 ocean was drifted, and even a dragon scale was not found.

This day was August 15, 1923.

...

The only record that the Party Patriotic Republic could find was this. He rushed back to the Salt Lake to hold a meeting. It was still cold and the hearts of the people at the base were hot. The discovery of the dragon alone was enough to make them excited.

In the conference room, Dang Aiguo began to speak: "One night in July 1920, a fire meteor fell into Jiangdong Province. Tens of thousands of people witnessed it in Ori River City, but there was no record of the meteorite landing. Then there was no record of the meteorite landing. So there is the greatest possibility, that is, it fell into the water. I believe it was it. We have salvaged this meteorite, which is almost the same as the one that fell into the lake in 1969. This shows that their origins are the same, and the things they carry are roughly similar. They are all DNA enzyme fragments that can quickly produce effects. The carrier has some magical power to tempt creatures to eat. In 1969, this one was taken by the prototype of the pillar, and the other one we fished out in the salt lake may be related to the dragon-like water monster that Yanzhi found, so I suggest calling this thing Dragon Ball..."

Liu Yanzhi raised his hand: "The people in the diving bell came to find the Dragon Ball?"

"It's Dragon Ball, not Dragon Ball, that's a comic." Dang Aiguo said, "They were foreigners hired by Sun Kaiqin, the warlord of that year. They paid their lives for the reward of 100,000 oceans. No matter what, they were seniors who devoted themselves to science. I will inform their relatives if they have descendants."

Guan Lu said: "The logic here seems to be wrong. After the pillar has been genetically modified, it has the ability to accelerate metabolism. What kind of creature was Xiao Zhou before he became a dragon? It has been alive for a hundred years and it still looks lively... I have a bold assumption that Xiao Zhou was originally a dragon. From the Cretaceous period to the present, the family reproduced and thrived in the salt lake, and the so-called DNA fragments in the dragon ball are still there."

The party’s patriotic eyes lit up.
