Chapter 76: Every second counts
"When did it happen?" Wang Xinran asked.
Wu Zhongyuan recalled anxiously, "We arrived at the hotel in the early morning that day. In the afternoon, I washed away the paper scraps, and the manure truck also went there that afternoon."
At this point, Wang Xinran calmed down instead, "Time between?"
Wu Zhongyuan tried hard to recall the details, "After I washed away the paper scraps, you went to the inner room to tell me the test results of the spirit stone. Later, I thought the room was full of smoke, so I wanted to open the window to get some air. As soon as I opened the window, I saw the manure truck passing by downstairs. At that time, you asked me if I farted." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"According to this calculation, it will not take more than an hour from washing away the paper scraps and they will take away the sewage. This will never be a coincidence. It should be their fault." Wang Xinran said in a deep voice.
"What should I do now?" Wu Zhongyuan's face looked very ugly. When the clues were leaked, he fell into a complete passiveness.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's expression ugly, Wang Xinran comforted him, "Don't worry, the room we live in is for the chief. You sleep in the inner room, and the toilet you use is also the toilet in the inner room. The sewer pipes should be specially made."
After Wang Xinran finished speaking, he called the headquarters and asked the headquarters to send someone to the room where they had lived for detailed inspections. He also asked technicians to estimate how long the paper was soaked in water before the handwriting would be completely blurred.
To estimate this, you must know what pen the texture and handwriting of the paper are written in. When you learn that the texture is kraft paper and the characters are written in ballpoint pen, Wang Xinran breathed a little relieved because the kraft paper will become very loose after it is entered into water, and the characters written in ballpoint pen are also easy to blur.
But when Wu Zhongyuan told her that in addition to kraft paper, there was also an original Tibetan document written on the sheepskin in ink, Wang Xinran almost collapsed. The ink words written on the sheepskin would not be blurred even if they were soaked in water for five or six hours.
The headquarters has sent people to the hotel where the two of them had previously checked into the fastest speed. The only thing they could do at this time was to wait, wait nervously, wait worriedly, wait nervously.
The 18th branch was extremely efficient, and there was an echo in an hour and a half. Wu Zhongyuan couldn't hear what the other party said, so he could only look at Wang Xinran nervously. When Wang Xinran answered the phone, he almost said nothing except "yes" and "good". After hanging up the phone, he started to activate his phone again, as if he was looking through something.
"How is it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked nervously.
"A good news and a bad news, which one do you listen to first?" Wang Xinran slid the screen of her phone without looking up.
When he heard good news, Wu Zhongyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Bad."
"That manure tanker was indeed not sent by the municipal government, and the sewage in the septic tank has not decreased. They should have just taken away the floating objects on the sewage." Wang Xinran said.
"What is the good news?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"The good news is that the sewer pipe in the chief's room is equipped with a filter screen. The function of this screen is to prevent some small items the chief carried with him from falling into the toilet and flushing away." Wang Xinran said.
After Wang Xinran finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan asked anxiously, "I cut that sheepskin into thin strips and washed away. Is there a strip stuck on the screen?"
"Yes, two stuck." Wang Xinran finished speaking and handed over the phone.
Wu Zhongyuan took the phone and saw two photos of thin sheepskin strips on the screen. Although he had been in the wet sewer pipe for seven or eight days, the handwriting on it was still clearly visible.
The Tibetan text on the sheepskin has been translated by oneself at this time, and it is very scattered. The reason why it is scattered is not because of the blurred handwriting, but because he has a little bit of mind when cutting the sheepskin, which is cut horizontally, while the words on the sheepskin were originally written vertically.
"The others must have fallen into their hands," Wang Xinran said, "recalling what they know and what they don't know."
Even if Wang Xinran didn't say it, Wu Zhongyuan was doing this. There were more than 30 words on the two pimps that were not taken away by the other party. Some of them were irrelevant. Even if the other party was missing, they could guess what it was. Some of them were more specific and the other party could not speculate.
After recalling the comparison, Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "They know everything except the specific position of the formation and one of the steps to enter the formation."
"You can explain it clearly." Wang Xinran kept smoking, and the room was filled with smoke.
"They know that the formation is related to that river, but they don't know where the formation is located. The formation is left over from ancient times and is located in an underwater underground palace. There are three steps to enter the underground palace. They don't know how to open the last step." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Are you sure?!" Wang Xinran emphasized his tone.
Wu Zhongyuan did not answer immediately, and then carefully compared and recalled it. Then he focused on the key point, "Confirm."
"I want to send these clues from the post-ADbnormal to the headquarters." Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan nodded. Now the clues have been leaked, and every second is a matter of time. Whoever finds the clues first will be the possibility of finding the spirit stone first.
Wang Xinran sent the clues that had been intercepted before back to the headquarters, and asked the headquarters to mobilize everyone to find relevant clues as quickly as possible.
"Are you sure they can't find the formation?" Wang Xinran confirmed again.
Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "I'm sure, they only know that the formation is related to the river, but they don't know the specific location, nor do they know that the formation is underwater."
"Which river?" Wang Xinran was dissatisfied. Wu Zhongyuan always described a certain river as 'that river', which shows that he still doesn't want to show her the trump card.
Wu Zhongyuan hesitated.
"Tell me, you kept hiding, didn't you still reveal it in the end?" Wan Xinran glanced at Wu Zhongyuan.
Wu Zhongyuan still didn't say anything. He pondered for a long time before sighing, "Luo Shui, the formation is under the water at the intersection of Luo Shui and the Yellow River."
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's depressed expression of "nothing" look, Wang Xinran regretted it a little. He should not force an insecure person to remove his last protection.
"You don't have to worry, I won't tell anyone." Wang Xinran patted Wu Zhongyuan's shoulder.
"What should I do now?" Wu Zhongyuan was in chaos.
"What else can I do? Confront the Western hostile forces head-on," Wang Xinran said seriously. "They have strong support, and we have them. From now on, they are comparing strength, efficiency, technology, and all-round competitions and competitions."
Wu Zhongyuan nodded. Wang Xinran was right. Things have developed to this point and have become a contest between countries. Zhao Ying and others will not contact him in the early stage. What they have to do is to find as many spirit stones as possible. As long as the spirit stones in his hand are not enough to activate the formation, they can only take the initiative to negotiate with the other party in the end.
The coordination work was done by Wang Xinran. The first thing she did was to ask for a special plane to be transferred, an aircraft that could take off and land from major military airports in China. Major military regions dispatched helicopters and cars to stand by to ensure that as long as they were informed of clues, they could rush to the destination as quickly as possible.
The next step is to close the county annals of all libraries, strengthen security, and at the same time add firewalls to prevent hacker network intrusion.
We also need to recruit top historians and ask them to find and analyze relevant clues about the relevant era.
"Why is it such a big formation?" Wu Zhongyuan was shocked. Wang Xinran's actions were too big, and it was a situation where a big battle was about to come.
"Believe me, the opponent is doing the same thing," Wang Xinran said, grabbing his backpack, "Let's go, the car is here."
"Where to go?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Go to the airport." Wang Xinran opened the door and went out.
Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly carried his backpack and followed him, "Where are you going?"
"Northwest." Wang Xinran accelerated his pace.
After leaving the guesthouse, a military jeep was parked under the steps. Wang Xinran showed his work permit and opened the door to get in the car. When Wu Zhongyuan got in the car, the car started and headed straight to the airport.
Wang Xinran has been fiddling with her cell phone along the way and has not spoken to Wu Zhongyuan.
This is a military-civilian dual-purpose airport. The car directly sent the two people to the next side of the plane. This is a small plane. After the two boarded the plane, the plane immediately slid out of the runway. The passenger plane that was originally preparing to take off was postponed and delayed, giving way to the small plane.
Wu Zhongyuan never dreamed that one day he would be able to board a special plane. In addition to being nervous and excited, he was also a little nervous, "As for that."
"As for," Wang Xinran is still fiddling with her mobile phone, "Science and technology are the primary productive forces. Your matter involves scientific fields such as quantum physics and genetic biology. Whoever has first-hand information can surpass his opponents in these fields."
"I'm so valuable to research?" Wu Zhongyuan was interested in the atmosphere.
Wang Xinran may still be communicating and coordinating with various departments and did not answer Wu Zhongyuan's words.
"Where are we going now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Wudu, Gansu," said Wang Xinran, "The person we are looking for has already had a glimpse. This person has not changed his name, but is still named Wu Lu. This person has been stranded in Huang County for more than a year. Later, he was appreciated by General Qian Yunzhi, the Guangwei General who passed here, and was recruited by him. He followed Qian Yunzhi and was promoted to the fifth-rank deputy general. Later, Qian Yunzhi retired and returned home. He took over Qian Yunzhi's position and was named General Mingwei. In the second year of Yuanzhen, that is, in 1296, Tubo rebelled and attacked Jiezhou. Jiezhou is the current Wudu of Gansu. Wu Lu led his army to suppress the rebellion and died there in battle."
"So quickly." Wu Zhongyuan was inspired. He didn't expect that he could find clues about Wu Lu in such a short time.
"He didn't change his name, so it's easier to find it." Wang Xinran said, "We can find it, and they can do it, so we have to rush over as soon as possible."
"Do you know where he is buried?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"I only know which area is roughly." Wang Xinran put down his phone and rubbed his eyes. "It takes time for us to find it, and it takes time for them to find it. They are earlier than us, hoping to rush over before they find the grave."
"It should be possible, we can fly as much as we want, but they can't." Wu Zhongyuan said.
Wang Xinran nodded, "Yes, this is a great advantage in our home court, but we cannot be blindly optimistic. They have fully realized the seriousness of this matter and the huge scientific research value hidden. They will use all the power and technical means that can be used to compete with us."
"How long will it take for us to reach our destination?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
