"At that time, the Soviet Union launched the first manned spacecraft in human history. This incident caused a sensation around the world. Almost all people in the circle were surprised by Soviet space technology and believed that this was far beyond the technical limits that humans should have. According to the information disclosed afterwards, the Soviet spacecraft used some of the science and technology obtained from the Caucasus Mountains. The Americans had some speculations about this, but based on the fact that the Antarctic expedition had obtained some of the information from the cave at that time, some of the decrypted scientific and technological content was very helpful to the National Space Administration, and the Americans' focus also shifted."

"At that time, the top leaders of our country had already developed a vague basic concept of "extraterrestrial civilization". After identification by the Academy of Sciences, it has always been believed that memory and agents are non-human scientific and technological products. At this time, the third search team sent by the Northwest Military Region had arrived at the ancient city of Lop Nur. However, a strange thing happened again - the radio contact was interrupted again, and the search and rescue work was launched again. This time, only one survivor was found. Due to the influence of sandstorms and storms, the search and rescue work had to be postponed, which was delayed by two weeks."

"The survivor was a company commander, with a high technical secondary school degree at that time. Fortunately, he still remained rational, and his language expression order and logical thinking were quite clear. According to his narrative, after the troops arrived at the ancient city, they entered the underground base according to the route left after the last search, and set up a cordon on the outside of the base, built barracks and built simple fortifications. The technicians with the team also found another constant temperature freezer and information storage from the base."

Su Hao focused on listening to every word that came out of Wang Qinian's mouth.

At this moment, he clearly noticed that the old fat man's tone and tone had changed compared to before.

Especially the content surprised him even more.

"Please wait."

Su Hao's face showed a puzzled expression: "Constant temperature freezer and information storage? Didn't you say just now that the second batch of reinforcements had discovered it in the base? Did they not search thoroughly at that time and missed some locations?"

Wang Qinian obviously expected Su Hao to say this. He looked at Su Hao for nearly half a minute, sat upright, and sighed at the slow speed that suited his old appearance.

"The problem is here———The second batch of reinforcements completed the mission very well. Not only did they emptied all the items in the underground base, but they searched the ancient city on the ground several times. After confirming that no valuable items were missing, the reinforcements returned to the western military region. Don't doubt whether they had any omissions. At that time, two confidential teams of the Ministry of Security went with the team. Those people were there, and even a screw was left on the site of the ancient city, they had to be recycled as information. The underground base where the items were cleared had been recorded in all directions, and dozens of photos were taken. All sealed archives showed that no objects could be moved were left at that time. With the ancient city as the core, there were no rivers, no nests of insects such as ants, scorpions, and the local environment and climate were extremely harsh, and even plants could not survive... About these, they were unanimously recognized by the military and political personnel in charge of the search at that time."

"However, things are so strange - both the lie detector and various evidence show that the surviving company commander did not lie. The third group of search troops did find new constant temperature freezers and information storage from the cleared underground base. They were placed in their original locations, and even the dust traces on the ground were not misplaced. After photos, videos, and even the latest radioactive instrument detection at the time, the placement of the box and memory was actually as accurate as microns. All this is incredible."

A few minutes later, Su Hao's expression gradually returned to normal. He thought about Wang Qinian's words and asked: "Where is that company commander? What else did he say about the underground base of the ancient city?"

The old fat man might be hungry, so he opened the drawer and took out a pack of scallion oil soda cakes with the word "special supply" and tore it apart, put it on the table and ate it. The crisp "click" sound of chewing the cakes hard on the debris in the room suddenly sounded.

"The reason why the Northwest Military Region sent the third batch of search troops was based on the information displayed on the memory. Therefore, the mission of the third batch of search troops was to build houses and strongholds for living with the ancient desert city as the core, wait for the subsequent inspection team to enter, and then launch large-scale experimental projects. Therefore, for any abnormal items, the search troops will be protected as potential research objects. According to the company commander's confession, after discovering a new constant temperature freezer and memory, the search team leader immediately ordered the establishment of fortifications around the entrance of the base and arranged a dedicated person to be responsible for guarding.

.Because of the superiors' attention to this mission before leaving and the mysterious death of the first batch of troops, all members of the third batch of search teams were extremely vigilant. They strictly followed the chemical defense standards and carried oxygen masks and rubber gloves throughout the process of entering the base and contacting the constant temperature box. No items were broken, and no abnormal suspicious objects were found... This highly tense atmosphere continued until the afternoon of the same day. Patrol personnel who checked the camp order found that the two sentries closest to the underground base fell into a coma at the same time."

"The sudden change surprised everyone. The commander immediately ordered high alert, and the military doctors accompanied him also rescued the sentry. Because the company commander was responsible for information sorting, he witnessed the entire rescue process in the medical tent. In less than twenty minutes, the temperature of the two sentry rose sharply from 37 degrees to 54 degrees. Their bodies were hot, and there were symptoms of burns and water loss on the surface of their skin. Although the military doctor tried every means, they still could not cool down. At the same time, the ancient city also had extremely high intensity sandstorms. Due to the strong wind, the company commander ran out of the barracks to strengthen the tent. The visibility was very low at the time, and the strong wind almost overwhelmed all the sounds. When he returned, he was shocked to find: two people with high fever and coma who were unconscious.

The soldiers were missing, and three military doctors with the team were lying on the ground. Their throats were bitten alive and medical equipment were scattered everywhere. One of the military doctors had a particularly miserable death. His abdomen was torn open, his internal organs were hollowed out, and his intestines were more than three meters away. The company commander realized that something was wrong and immediately rushed out of the tent for help. At the same time, the sandstorm became increasingly intensified, and the normal vision could not see the figures of people a few meters away. He could only hear the strong wind, screaming, and the sound of whistling intermittently. There was nothing to catch, and he was blown far away by the powerful airflow until he got to the rice... When the storm subsided in the early morning of the next morning, and after waking up, the company commander found that he had arrived at a riverbed more than 40 kilometers east of the ancient city."

Listening to Wang Qinian's voice gradually becoming low, Su Hao asked in confusion: "His confession... is only this?"

"It was already very lucky to survive in such a chaotic situation at that time. The company commander's identity materials had no problems and his background was clean. As the only witness of the incident, the Northwest Military Region sent a special plane to Beijing overnight. Since then, similar inquiries have been conducted several times, but no more content has been obtained from him. It was not until 1970 that he was lifted out of jail. Due to the environmental limitations at that time, many files that should have been sealed were made public in the name of "revolution". The company commander who returned to his hometown was not spared. As a survivor of the third search force, he was repeatedly challenged by the local revolutionary committee as an "enemy spy". Half a year later, he could not bear to torture and committed suicide by jumping off the building..."

"These things are all later stories. The fourth batch of search troops quickly entered Lop Nur and arrived at the ancient desert city. Haha... boy, guess what kind of scene it was?"

A bitter smile appeared on Su Hao's face: "Everyone is dead? It's exactly the same as when he first searched?"

Wang Qinian wiped the crumbs from the corner of his mouth, took a sip of tea, and his eyes became cold and cold: "No survivors were found at the scene. The bodies were scattered within ten kilometers around, and the number of dead people matched the list of search teams. The scene was very miserable, even more bloody than the first time. There were almost no complete bodies on the scene. They were bitten to death, and the bodies maintained a distorted expression of fear. The remaining traces were exactly the same as when they were searched for the first time. If it weren't for the confession of the company commander, no one could imagine that the cause of the collective death of hundreds of armed personnel was actually two infected soldiers."

Su Hao couldn't help blurting out: "You mean...they, they were infected? They turned into zombies?"

Wang Qinian nodded slowly: "We found a constant temperature freezer and information storage at the underground base. The surviving company commander did not lie——they were ensured to be well stored. A temporary warning sign was set up at the entrance of the underground passage. Apart from that, there were no extra items. When we transported these two items back to the Northwest Military Region and compared them with the first time we found, we found that they looked exactly the same. As for the things in the box... there are two different colors and quantities of potions. One is not light brown, with a dose of ten milliliters. The other is light yellow, with a dose of two hundred milliliters."

"Mysterious large-scale deaths, the data of nuclear bomb explosions suddenly flashed on the memory screen, and the coordinates of the ancient city deep in Lop Nur... These problems that cannot be explained by common sense force us to conduct a comprehensive study of the two boxes and memory. The Academy of Sciences collected the bodies of all the dead people in the third search team, combined with the mysterious medicine liquid in the freezer, and soon found that the functions of brown and yellow medicine are opposite to each other in terms of use. In short, once brown medicine liquid is injected into the human body, it will destroy the immune system in a short time and cause the blood circulation system to be completely paralyzed. It is a virus that has never appeared on the earth, parasitized in the human body, and then controls the brain, becoming another creature without thinking and relying entirely on instincts. As you said just now, it is a zombie."

Su Hao's face became more and more gloomy. He continued to ask: "So, is the light yellow medicine the corresponding virus immunity?"

Wang Qinian said "Hmm": "Two hundred milliliters correspond to twenty units of use. Whether it is viruses or vaccines, it is impossible to replicate them with the technological means at that time. We found the same virus strain on the dead body. This terrible creature obviously only works for living animals. A series of related issues such as infection, spread, and immunity began to form at that time. All items, including constant temperature freezers, were listed as the highest confidential archives, and contact was strictly prohibited by unrelated personnel. When recording the appearance of the two boxes, we accidentally found two sets of numbers at the bottom of the box. They were very small and must be seen with a magnifying glass of about six times. One is UU53I and the other is UU53."

Before Su Hao asked a question, Wang Qinian continued the unfinished topic: "The information recorded in the memory is divided into two parts, and the way it appears on the electronic screen is different. Among them, one is based on ancient Chinese characters, that is, the "small seal script" mentioned earlier. The content includes different equivalents of nuclear energy use technology, as well as high-level technologies such as solid-state hydrogen and oxygen engines, miniaturization of electromagnetic systems, energy conversion basis, super-energy explosive substances, etc. These technologies are far beyond our understanding and are definitely not research products of any country on earth. Since there is no physical object or relevant theoretical research foundation, we can only try to select the parts that are in line with the actual situation to conduct research. Although there are few projects involved, the results and progress are shocking. Beijing has also ordered a complete blockade of Lop Nur, especially the core areas, which are not allowed to enter without permission."

"The 1960s had a special significance for our country. Due to the world situation at that time, almost any abnormal situation could be associated with the word "politics". You may not imagine the chaotic scene that completely overwhelms the real world with slogans such as "man conquers nature". Those guys who claim to be "red successors" frantically hit the power organs and smash everything with seemingly bright justice reasons. In that chaos and disorder, in order to avoid secret leakage, we can only close more than 90% of the research projects of the Academy of Sciences, and all important objects and data are handed over to the military for sealing. We thought the political storm would be able to subside soon, but no one expected: this wait would last for a full ten years."

"In 1979, China and the United States established diplomatic relations. On the basis of peaceful and friendly diplomacy, the two countries began to exchange answers on certain common interests. At that time, a resigned official from the US Department of Defense came to China as a private person. When visiting the outer venues of the Academy of Sciences, he left a very strange note and handed it to the staff responsible for the reception."

"The domestic environment at that time was still closed, and the monitoring and management of outsiders was very strict. Although the note looked like an unconscious graffiti, considering the identity of the visitor, it was still handed over to the venue security department for review. After comparison, it was confirmed that the note was not a picture or a boring joke, but a very strange spiral shaped text."

Su Hao was surprised: "Writing?"

"To be precise, it is the information that appears in the second part of the memory."

Wang Qinian's face gradually became serious: "Since we confirmed that the Lop Nur ruins were not built in 1964, we have always wanted to interpret all the contents of the information storage. Unfortunately, except for the first part written in small seal script, the interpretation of the second part has almost no progress. It is a strange-shaped coil-shaped character, mixed with many components similar to the image-shaped characters. Since there is no information for reference, over the past fifteen years, through a large number of comparisons and speculations, the Academy of Sciences only interpreted less than fifty characters. The note left by the Americans happened to contain four of our known characters. According to human language habits and the other party's identity, we finally understood the meaning of the note."

Speaking of this, Wang Qinian paused for a moment and gently uttered an extremely emotional sentence.

"We have it, do you have it?"

"That note is an opportunity and a test of the United States. Through satellite detection, they had long discovered the abnormality deep in Lop Nur. Although they were not clear about the inside story, the realization rate of the simulated scenes they inferred reached 40%. Americans did not want to reveal the secrets about Hitler's manuscripts, and they contacted us in this way. The purpose is obvious——If we have information about the Atlantis, we must know this spiral text. If everything is imagined out of thin air, the official would only admit that the note was a boring act that arose. After all, it is not a password, and no one can understand it. In short: this is a secret that only a few people have. Once it is made public... Haha, what else can humans do except live in panic and chaos all day long?"

"The cooperation between China and the United States on extraterrestrial civilizations officially began in 19RU. Since there is no trust between each other, especially under the premise of national and political background, there can be many contradictions between the Academy of Sciences and the 5L District. Although everyone has the same purpose and wants to figure out the true meaning of the manuscript and spiral text, no one is willing to come up with information and research results to share. The bald eagle wants to become the overlord of the world and the red dragon wants to soar in the universe. We are not willing to miss this opportunity. In more than three years, more than ten scientific seminars were held in secret or public, and all problems were stopped.

Stay at the surface. Americans are guessing how much we know? We are also racking our brains to penetrate the 5L zone. Spy, agents, formal or informal friendly exchanges, official and civil wars and friendships... In terms of actual data and intelligence, Americans are actually similar to us, and there is no question of who has an advantage over whom. In this way, mutual arguing and different forms of open and secret struggle wasted a lot of time. It was not until 1984 when the Americans launched a scientific investigation into Pakistan that scientists from both countries truly put aside their political views and launched real cooperation.
