Chapter 598 Sand Sea 24
While everyone's attention was focused on the fact that "there is such a large tomb raiding organization as the Nine Gates in modern society," and they were shocked by this, the authorities had quietly restarted their research on the ancient city of Tongjing in a corner that no one was paying attention to.
By combining previous relevant archives with information revealed by Wu Xie and others, the authorities secretly organized a capable team that quickly and discreetly headed to Gutongjing.
The authorities didn't want to stumble over the same place twice, so they decided to completely unravel the secrets of Gutongjing.
Therefore, the scale of this operation is unprecedented.
It not only brought together more than 80% of the country's archaeological experts, but also had armed forces accompanying and escorting the team to ensure the safety of all personnel involved in the operation.
However, this mysterious building, which has existed for 1,900 years, contains too many unknown secrets.
Its design and construction are so exquisite that even with modern technology, it may not be possible to completely replicate it. Yet, people 1,900 years ago built it with their wisdom, which is no exaggeration to call it a miracle.
The very existence of Gutongjing is an incredible thing, not to mention the many secrets within it that are worth studying.
For example, there is the long-lived black-haired snake that can store human memories, the nine-headed cypress that looks like a plant but has strong mobility, the white sand and snake eggs produced in the ancient city of Tongjing, and the stone chambers where people disappear without a trace when they enter. All of these are full of unknowns and mysteries.
The mystery of immortality that the Wang family has pursued for thousands of years adds a touch of mystery to the ancient city of Tongjing.
Unexpectedly, the moment the team entered the depths of the desert, all the positioning and navigation systems malfunctioned inexplicably, and other modern equipment also began to malfunction. It was as if the archaeological team had been transported back to the most primitive era of exploration, and all modern technological means had lost their effectiveness.
This sudden change immediately alerted the archaeological team, and for safety reasons, they immediately retreated to a safe area.
If an ordinary person encountered such a strange situation, they might involuntarily associate it with feudal superstition.
However, the specialists in the archaeological team are all cultured people who have received higher education, and when faced with problems, they habitually approach them from a scientific perspective.
So when the equipment they brought malfunctioned, their first reaction was that the equipment was broken or that some other unknown situation was affecting the machine's operation, but they hadn't discovered it yet.
After confirming that the equipment was not damaged by human error, the situation was immediately reported.
Subsequently, several large testing machines were urgently transported over.
Sure enough, after several rounds of testing, it was finally confirmed that the magnetic field here was different from other places, containing very strong energy, and it was this energy that interfered with the normal operation of the equipment.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After readjusting the machines and confirming that the previous situation would not occur again, they continued their search for Hai Zi.
Unfortunately, the archaeological team didn't have the protagonist's halo. Even though they reached the Badain Jaran Desert, they still couldn't find a way to enter the ancient city of Gutongjing, nor did they see the lake that Wu Xie had mentioned.
Undeterred, the archaeological team searched the desert for two months and finally discovered a unique place using their detection instruments. Data showed that this place was very likely the location of the ancient city of Tongjing.
