Chapter 142: Embarrassment, Seeing Mountains And Seas, Entering Files, Being Shaken
The reason why Zhao Qiran said these words is because no one knows the affairs of the Beihai clan better than him.
He has been investigating this matter for so many years, so he knows very well the secrets hidden in this ruins, which are enough to promote the progress of Chinese archeology for decades or even hundreds of years.
After all this happened, Commander Wei and Minister Zhang still can't come back to their senses.
But they also learned from Zhao Qiran's words that Chu Jian sent members of 543 to Xiangjiang privately. No matter what the purpose was, they did protect a ruins.
According to Chu Jian's previous words, protecting the relics is equivalent to protecting the dragon's veins and guarding the destiny of the country.
Could it be that all this is true?
The two felt unbelievable, but they were also shaken.
Zhao Qiran looked at Chu Jian excitedly, as if he suddenly thought of something, and asked directly:
"Captain Chu, I'm a little curious, why did you form this 543 exploration team?
Could it be that you have had relevant archaeological experience before?"
This is the only possibility that Zhao Qiran can think of. Otherwise, why would a person who has nothing to rely on form an exploration force?
Chu Jian looked at Zhao Qiran, not hiding anything, and replied with a smile:
"The purpose of this team's exploration actually has nothing to do with archeology or ancient tombs, and they will not engage in archaeological work.
As the name suggests, the team is mainly responsible for geological exploration, but in fact it is responsible for guarding the dragon veins and resolving all potential crises, such as demons and ghosts, thereby protecting the country's destiny from being damaged.
Chu Jian's words were sonorous and powerful, but Zhao Qiran and Liu Hecheng were stunned06.
How could they never expect that they would get such an answer?
The two didn't speak for a long time, until finally, Zhao Qiran managed to squeeze out a wry smile.
Obviously, Zhao Qiran did not believe what Chu Jian said.
He even felt that Chu Jian had something hidden, but he just didn't want to say more about it?
After all, for archaeologists, things like dragon veins and national destiny are too far-fetched.
As for demons and ghosts... Such mysterious and mysterious superstitious theories have no scientific or historical basis. They are even more nonsense. How can they believe them?
It seems that Captain Chu has something to hide, right? Otherwise, why would he find such a lame excuse?
Commander Wei, who had been nearby and struggled to find a chance to speak, finally got the chance to speak and said with a wry smile:
"Dean Zhao, I know you may be a little dissatisfied with our provincial military department, but the review has to continue, and there is really nothing we can do."
Hearing this, Zhao Qiran immediately looked over and frowned in confusion:
“Commander Wei, Ananda’s Shield?
The 543 Exploration Team has made such a great contribution, shouldn’t it be commended? Why should it be reviewed?”
Commander Wei glanced at Chu Jian and said with some seriousness:
"Because the fundamental purpose of our review is not this matter. In fact, whether we go to Xiangjiang or not will not affect the start of the review.
It’s because of what Captain Chu Jian just claimed, guarding the dragon veins and other matters..."
"iž…"
At this moment, Zhao Qiran was silent...
He even looked a little embarrassed and found that he had nothing to say.
After Chu Jian said these words, Zhao Qiran was actually a little embarrassed in his heart, why did Chu Jian suddenly say such unintelligible words?
At the time, he thought it was an excuse, but now, after Commander Wei personally pointed out that this was the focus of the investigation, Zhao Qiran realized that Captain Chu was not trying to excuse himself, but that it was indeed the case.
For a moment, Zhao Qiran couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Although he didn't say anything, he felt that this matter really should be investigated...
If you think about it from your perspective, if such unhealthy trends appeared in your own archaeological institute, you would do your best to investigate. There seems to be nothing wrong with the military department doing this!
But Zhao Qiran was really embarrassed to say the words 'should be investigated'. After all, he was here to visit Captain Chu and the 543 exploration team.
In desperation, Zhao Qiran waved his hand after being stunned for a moment:
"I don't care about other things. Whether you investigate or not is the business of your military department. I am an old man from the Archaeological Institute and I am not qualified to take care of it.
but!
It is a fact that 543 protects historical sites.
Even if it is to make up for the work? At least it can cancel each other out, right?"
It is not difficult to tell from this sentence that Zhao Qiran actually does not believe much in the so-called dragon vein and national destiny.
He just thinks that 543’s protection of the Beihai ruins is a great achievement!
As for checking or not... ahem, it's really hard to say.
Commander Wei and Minister Zhang smiled bitterly. They couldn't tell how to characterize these things now.
Protecting relics is indeed a great achievement, but we cannot promote such unhealthy and superstitious practices.
Therefore, one can only respond with a noncommittal attitude.
And now it's not a matter of making up for the past, but they don't know how to explain it clearly.
At this time, Zhao Qiran looked at Chu Jian and said with some seriousness:
"Captain Chu Jian, thank you for your hard work. I understand your situation very well.
It’s not for me to interfere in matters in the military. What I said just now is just because I am old and I feel a little bit emotional.
Since I came at the wrong time, I will not stay long. If I have the chance, I will come and meet the members of the 543 exploration team in person.
After hearing this, Chu Jian stood up and said:
"Dean, you have worked hard all the way, don't leave in a hurry, I will arrange a place for you to rest.
Where are the members of the 543 Exploration Team? It won’t be long, I will arrange for you to meet then!”
In response, Zhao Qiran waved his hand:
"Isn't the most important thing in the military the rules? This is against the rules.
And seeing your current situation, but I can't help you, I feel anxious.
Fortunately, out of sight and out of mind, I went back first.
But Commander Chu, if you need anything, just say a word and I will definitely help.
Even if you leave the army, as long as you say a word, we will leave a place for you in the Archaeological Institute!
No matter what the purpose of forming the team is, there is no doubt about your ability. Even if you deign to come to our archaeological institute, you can form another similar team!
If nothing else, I have shouldered so much for you and have the foresight and perseverance to insist on forming this excellent team.
I, Zhao Qiran, have never admired anyone in my life, but you are one of them!"
Compared with Chu Jian's age, Zhao Qiran is naturally a senior, but at this time, he spoke so highly of Chu Jian that he completely regarded Chu Jian as a senior.
This made several other people feel a little stunned.
After saying these words, Zhao Qiran stood up:
"He Cheng, let's go!"
Before leaving, Zhao Qiran took a deep look at Commander Wei. Although he said nothing, it seemed as if he had said a thousand words.
At this time, Commander Wei's psychology was also indescribably complicated.
He stood up and wanted to say something, but Zhao Qiran didn't give him the chance and left the office.
With a helpless sigh, Commander Wei looked at Wang Zhiguo:
"Political Commissar Wang, since Dean Zhao has made up his mind, you can go see him off for us."
The shocked Wang Zhiguo came to his senses, nodded and quickly chased out.
There were only three people left in the room, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.
Commander Wei and Minister Zhang both roughly learned about the Xiangjiang incident from Zhao Qiran's words.
But these things are so unbelievable that the two of them will need some time to digest them.
After a while, the commander took the lead and said:
"Captain Chu Jian and Dean Zhao are all telling the truth?"
Commander Wei did not doubt Zhao Qiran's words. He just wanted to find a topic to break the somewhat solidified atmosphere.
Chu Jian said calmly:
"Chief, this is the responsibility of the 543 Exploration Team, and there is nothing to say.
But now, everyone in the Yin family seems to be obsessed with this matter.
And I personally believe that the members of the 543 exploration team should not be treated like this.
It is for this reason that I have been cooperating with you in your investigation. "
As Chu Jian spoke, he opened the drawer and took out the yellowed ancient scroll.
Commander Wei and Minister Zhang saw the vigorous ancient characters on the ancient scroll at the first glance.
Although the two of them did not know these three words, they could feel a slight sense of power coming from them.
Looking at the two confused people, Chu Jian pushed the ancient book in front of their eyes:
"The 543 Exploration Team will file every mission it completes.
However, they are not included in the military files for the time being, because the military does not currently accept their existence, so the files are temporarily recorded in this mountain and sea record.
Haven't you always wanted to know what mission the 543 Exploration Team is performing?
Open it and you will understand 46. "
Looking at the yellowed ancient scroll in front of him, Commander Wei asked with some confusion:
"Captain Chu actually has this action file, why didn't he take it out earlier?"
Chu Jian looked at Commander Wei with a smile and asked:
"Chief, if I had taken out this action file before, even if you had read it, would you have believed it? And... would you have read it carefully?"
Commander Wei didn't speak. He knew very well that this was indeed the case.
If it weren't for Dean Zhao Qiran's sudden visit, if it weren't for the fact that they learned the details about the Xiangjiang incident from Dean Zhao Qiran.
I am afraid that even if they see this file, they will not believe it.
Taking a deep breath, Commander Wei slowly opened the Records of Mountains and Seas.
[543 Exploration Team’s First Exploration Mission Report]
[Exploration location: Yingxiantai ruins in Kunlun Mountains]
[Creatures found: fire boil poisonous insect, four-tailed fox demon]
[Dragon Veins Location: Yingxiantai]
[National Games Belongs to: Kunlun Mountain]
[Task details...]
When Commander Wei raised his head after reading all the recorded text in full, his eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Captain Chu, is this the operation where the 543 exploration team entered the Kunlun Mountains to search for the missing scientific research team?"
Chu Jian nodded:
"Exactly!"
Commander Wei read the record several times again, and even in the end he didn't know what kind of mood he was feeling now.
All signs seem to confirm Chu Jian's previous remarks.
Although those remarks about ruins, dragon veins, and national destiny are too vague.
But new clues always seem to emerge to corroborate this statement.
Especially in this record, it is mentioned that the creatures discovered during the mission include fire boil poisonous insects and four-tailed fox monsters.
I heard Chen Wenjin mention the fire boil poisonous insect, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I just thought it was a kind of insect. But now after reading the archives, I realized how special it was.
Especially the four-tailed demon fox, and the magical ancient Sendai...
If this had been done before, Commander Wei would never believe it.
But now, he is really shaken. .
