Chapter 470: The Third Season of Fanwai, the Journey
The top brass of the archaeological team soon received many complaints against Yuan Xiao.
However, this matter was subject to instructions from above, so all complaints were suppressed.
This caused the members of the fifth archaeological team to be dissatisfied with Yuan Xiao.
But Yuan Xiao didn't care about this. He found the supplies department and asked for a lot of shields.
Moreover, these shields are not the lightweight ones used by high-level warriors, but are used by mechas.
There are two types of shields, one is made of alloy, and the other is a defensive film generated by applying a force field.
What Yuan Xiao wants is a shield made of alloy, each one half a person tall.
In addition, he also bought ten long-range sniper rifles as equipment for the mecha.
When the supplies were finally distributed, there was another round of complaints.
The shield weighs a lot, so it only matters to high-level warriors. Ordinary people carry it on their backs, which means reducing other supplies.
"Commander," someone asked directly, "what do we need the shield for this kind of mecha?"
"Maybe the commander plans to use shields to build a defensive wall to resist the attack of the resident beast." Someone else sneered.
Yuan Xiao did not say: "This is a military order and must be obeyed."
The archaeological team follows the army's management system.
Even if everyone is dissatisfied, they can only vent it privately.
Especially the pilots of the ten mechas found it difficult to understand when they saw the long-range sniper rifles they had changed.
The mass-produced plus mecha Wolf is commonly used in the Principality and is a close combat type.
Changing to long-distance sniping really gave up the original advantages of the mecha.
Yuan Xiao soon got a new title - Incompetent Commander.
But everyone was dissatisfied, and they knew more or less about Yuan Xiao's background.
Zhou Jingze and Fang Yashu had gloomy faces.
They participate in archaeology because they want to achieve results, rather than getting involved in political struggles and losing their lives in vain.
The reason why the superiors asked Yuan Xiao to command the archaeological team was obvious: they wanted him to die.
However, you can't just catch up with other team members.
"When we get to the scene, we will act on our own and avoid him." Zhou Jingze made the decision.
Fang Yashu agreed with this plan.
After the preparations were completed, Yuan Xiao and his party started sailing in mid-July.
This archaeological operation was carried out independently by the Principality of Princes, and the investment was quite large.
The ships it carried were larger than what Yuan Xiao had seen the previous two times.
After all, this is an exploration of an unknown ruined city, and there may be surprising discoveries.
On the way, it was the same as before. I basically stayed in the cabin and looked at the blue sea outside.
Zhou Jingze and Yuan Xiao were in the same room, and what they saw every day was that Yuan Xiao was reading books all the time.
These books are from the collection of the National Library of the Principality. One of the benefits of Yuan Xiao becoming the Prince Consort is that many resources that were previously unreachable are now at his fingertips.
A collection of books is a good thing, containing various descriptions of the world.
Planet Blueya, unlike Blue Star, has only two continents.
Old World and New World.
The map of the Old Continent was not complete, and Yuan Xiao could only see part of it.
According to my own guess, the Old World should be in the form of a long strip as a whole. The only end that humans are in contact with now is the end of the New World.
The other end is where everything originates.
However, it is currently impossible for any country to reach the other side.
Navigating inside the Wall of Sighs for a long time is a huge test for the ship's ability.
After all, this kind of supernatural phenomenon is not an ordinary violent storm.
There were many resident beasts in the Old World, but not in the New World.
Perhaps it is the wall of sighs that blocks the coming and going of the resident beast.
So, thinking about it this way, the Wall of Sighs was most likely deliberately created by pre-civilizations.
This becomes a contradiction.
To explore the final secret of the Old World, the Wall of Sighs must be overcome.
And once the Wall of Sighs is overcome or destroyed, will it cause resident beasts to invade the new world?
If humans are unable to resist, then human civilization on the planet Bruya will come to an end.
In addition, Yuan Xiao is also concerned about the information about the Fountain of Life.
Unfortunately, there are very few descriptions of this substance in the world.
It only shows that it is produced from a special kind of crystal, but the origin of the crystal is not clearly stated.
There is only one book that vaguely mentions that "when the world is transformed, it is accompanied by the birth of crystal stones."
However, it was a incomplete and only copy, and it might contain false information.
Zhou Jingze saw Yuan Xiao enjoying it every day, and he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, he really likes reading."
Yuan Xiao didn't even raise his head: "If you have more information, you may be farther away from danger.
I have only participated in archeology twice, and when it comes to experience, I cannot compare to you.
Also, during the archaeological period, I hope you call me commander, not lord."
The hierarchy in the military is different from official positions.
Zhou Jingze was a little surprised by Yuan Xiao's answer: "It seems you cherish your life."
"After all, I have a beautiful wife waiting for me at home." Yuan Xiao didn't consider the impact on Dongfang Xiaoman at all. "I don't want to die in the old continent without knowing anything."
"What you said is what everyone involved in archeology thinks," Zhou Jingze sneered, "but that's not reality."
"Having a dream is better than having nothing at all," Yuan Xiao rarely looked back, "What do you think?"
Regarding this question, Zhou Jingze gritted his teeth and did not answer.
He was a bit confused about this person.
After nearly twenty days of sailing, at the end of July, Yuan Xiao's archaeological team arrived at International Base 016.
As an international base, there are naturally archaeological teams from other countries stationed there.
However, every country has the right to use the resources of the international base. It is also an international default rule to leave excess resources in the base when returning.
What you leave behind may save lives in the future.
In the field of archeology, countries around the world still have a tacit understanding.
Of course, the competition for archaeological results is also more involved than imagined.
It's like robbing a tomb. We can work together to dig out and break the trap.
But once the treasure appears, all that remains is fighting and scrambling.
A strange worldview.
After a simple rest at the international base, and after the status adjustment was completed, everyone began to take action.
As a pioneer, the first archaeological team was also commanded by a very experienced commander.
Yuan Xiao looked over and saw that the commander's strength was probably at the level of a martial artist.
Most of the entire team consists of high-level warriors, psychics, and mechas.
The main task is to open the way forward.
Although I have entered the Cabot Grand Canyon before, this is the first time for such a large group of people to enter.
It must be cleaned up all the way.
Yuan Xiao's fifth team was ranked second.
It can't be considered good, but it's okay.
Behind them is the archaeological team led by Dongfang Wei Rang.
As expected of the eldest son of the Dongfang family, although he was full of malice toward Yuan Xiao, he didn't show it at all along the way.
Sometimes he would even take the initiative to say hello to Yuan Xiao.
It seems that the relationship between the two is very good.
