David didn't pay much attention to Xu Daojiang's accusation, but just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, we are ready to report." ”

He said helplessly: "If you don't report it, we can't bring out such a large number of cultural relics under the strict monitoring of your customs." And such a major discovery can't be hidden at all. ”

"The point is that we found this site only a few days before the end of the world. Before we could issue a notice to your government, the end times had happened. Not only have we lost contact with the investigators in Tibetan Province, but even the experts in China who know the specific location of the site have become zombies. That's why we don't know the exact address of the ruins. ”

At this time, Qin Mushan also pressed his hand, motioned for David to sit down first, and said, "Dr. Xu, calm down." It's useless to say that now. Sit down, and let Deputy City Lord David continue. ”

Chen Yuan then asked, "Deputy City Lord David, do you have any other discoveries in this ruin?" For example, something related to prehistoric civilizations or zombie viruses? ”

David shook his head again, "We really want to postpone the discovery of this relic for a few days, so as to buy more time to conduct independent research on the ruins. ”

"As you know, after the normalization of relations with China, the American government organized dozens of expeditions to the Tibetan province of Huaxia. There are official ones and some government-funded private ones, and these are things that are done to investigate prehistoric relics. And this time, we have come closest to a prehistoric site in decades. Unfortunately, we didn't wait for the research to come back, even though the research was launched. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh. There was an instant silence in the conference room.

However, Qin Shouyi comforted everyone: "Everyone actually doesn't need to be so frustrated, at least we now know that the original one is not the real Qionglong Silver City, and we already know the general location of the real Qionglong Silver City." ”

"Now that technology is so advanced, we still have satellites in the sky! If we really want to find it and know the general direction, we can directly use the satellite to take pictures of the map of this area, and then look for it little by little on the map. In particular, if there was a tent of the expedition near the ruins at that time as a marker, it is not impossible to find it by satellite. ”

Indeed, the western part of Tibetan province is barren and has been eroded by wind and sand for many years, and if there are no other references, the ruins may be difficult to find from the air.

But it was much easier if there were expedition tents, because the colors of the tents were usually colorful. It's easier to spot from the air.

It's just that to increase the resolution of the satellite map, and to search the map inch by inch, it just takes a little more time, maybe a few days, maybe a few weeks, maybe a month or two. But on the whole, it was much faster than the expedition team going there and searching slowly along the way.

It is much easier to search on the spot with a computer in an office in a settlement than in a cold and high-altitude area.

At this time, Qin Mushan also said: "Yes! We can start investigating this right away. But we would do well to start gathering more useful intelligence and information at the same time. ”

For example, he said: "For example, what kind of information did the Soviets get at that time? Is there also some reserved information there from the British that is not told to us? What does that missing metal plate have to do with entering Shambhala? Is it impossible to get in if you lose it? Can you contact the Indian side and get it back! ”

"Only by fully understanding these can we be more sure that we can find and enter the prehistoric site called Shambhala in Tibetan province."

Qin Mushan said with some concern: "Because if you look at what is recorded on the parchment that Deputy City Lord David said just now, even if you find the real Qionglong Silver City, I'm afraid you won't be able to find the location of Shambhala." And the missing metal plate also seems to be very important. ”

David nodded and said, "Yes!" In fact, over the years, we have been searching for this lost metal plate in India. For this reason, the British also specially asked for a file record of their search for this metal plate. There are even heavy bounties in India. Over the years, although there have been people who have been saying that the metal plate is in their hands or has relevant clues, it has been confirmed that most of them are fake. ”

"Most of them?" Chen Yuan immediately grabbed the key words and asked, "Is there some of them true?" ”

"No, it's just that it's not fake news!" "That was about 10 years ago. A boy who had come from a remote mountain village in northwestern India to work in Delhi City stumbled upon our bounty and told us that the man who was looking for the metal plaque in India had seen it before. The prison where the Germans were held was in Delhi, so the focus of our search was around there. The boy said it was his grandmother's belongings, but had been bought by a merchant who was passing through their village a few years earlier. ”

"Did your people investigate?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Go!" David said: "The boy's grandmother said that the metal plate was bought by her father from the market at a very cheap price when he was young. Because there were a lot of unrecognizable words on the metal plate, her father thought it was something of value. Later, it was left to her as a dowry. ”

"The other people in the village, besides the boy's grandmother, did have several other people who claimed that they had seen the metal plate before, and the description was very similar to the metal plate that the British told us in the first place."

"And what about the merchant who bought the metal plate? Did you find it? ”

"Haven't found it yet." "We had them reminisce and make a portrait of the guy who bought the metal tag," David said. But you know, it was years since then. Their memories of that businessman are very vague. Several portraits were made, but no one could be sure which one it was. Only know that his name is probably Chandra? Shekhar. We can't tell if it's true or not, so we can only find it first. ”

Chen Yuan asked suspiciously, "Then didn't you announce these portraits and names for rewards?" Maybe you can find it? ”

David smiled, shook his head, and said, "That's not going to work!" You know, the Soviets and the North Russians have been looking for this metal plate in India. We can reveal clues about the metal cards, but we can't reveal clues about the metal cards. If these portraits and names were made public, then the North Russians would know about it! So we can only look in secret. But before the end of the world, we could probably lock this man in the city of Dehradun, in the mountains northwest of Delhi. But after the zombie crisis, I don't know if this clue will be broken again! ”

Chen Yuan nodded: "Anyway, this is also a clue." It seems that we will have to go to India again if we have the chance. If the metal plate has anything to do with entering Shambhala, then the metal plate must be recovered! ”
