I am reborn as an ancestor

Chapter 780 Adams Family

In 1861, the American Civil War broke out.

At that time, facing the Southern Army supported by the Western European powers, the Northern Army could not stand alone, so they had no choice but to ask the enemy's enemy, Tsarist Russia, for help.

In the end, because of the fleet sent by Tsarist Russia, the Northern Army gained a valuable respite, and finally won the war and unified the entire Citigroup.

At that time, due to strategic reasons, Tsarist Russia was eager to sell its own Alaska territory in order to serve as a strategic buffer.

Due to the help of Tsarist Russia during the war, Citigroup could only choose to take over Alaska in the end.

And in 1867, at a "high price" of US$720 million, the Stars and Stripes was raised on the territory of Alaska for the first time, making it the largest state in Citigroup.

At that time, almost all the people of Citigroup accused Seward Adams, who signed the sale and purchase agreement, of buying a worthless ice sheet, making the country a laughing stock of the whole world.

However, people soon discovered that Alaska's fishery resources are extremely rich!

Later, a huge gold mine was discovered here, as well as amazing oil deposits!
The territory that was originally worthless has suddenly transformed into a land of resources that everyone envies!

Tsarist Russia realized how worthless the deal was at this time, and shouted that it was fooled...

It was precisely because of the huge wealth generated in Alaska that the later Adams family was achieved.Making it Citigroup, the richest family at the time!
Time flies, and more than half a century later, the Adams family's industries spread throughout Citigroup, especially the pharmaceutical industry is second to none in the world.

And just in 1958, in Lituya Bay in eastern Alaska, someone discovered an ancient and mysterious black stone altar.

And on the black stone altar, someone actually saw the legendary mermaid!
At that time, Barton Adams, the eldest son of the Adams family who was extremely fanatical about adventure and exploration, was in his prime when he heard the news, and he was immediately inexplicably excited.

Immediately without any hesitation, an expedition team was organized, and they went to the mysterious black stone altar with great interest to find the mermaid.

In order to prevent others from disturbing his great adventure, Barton used his family's power in Alaska to completely block this matter, even the Citigroup government didn't know about it...

However, not long after Barton Adams' expedition team arrived at the mysterious black stone altar.

A major earthquake occurred in Lituya Bay, Alaska, and a large number of icebergs and permafrost sank to the bottom of the sea, causing the highest super tsunami in history!

"Because of the sudden earthquake and tsunami, my father Barton never came home.

The Adams family also lost the eldest son who inherited the family, which caused serious internal divisions, which caused the whole family to become increasingly fragmented and depressed, and it took a long time for it to recover. "

Daisy, an old foreign woman, said this, as if recalling the unbearable past, her eyes were already full of sadness.

And at this moment, the blond beauty Betty at the side looked at the aging grandmother in front of her, and said sadly:

"The Adams family can survive until today, all because of my grandmother alone. If she hadn't supported the whole family by herself, the Adams family might have ceased to exist long ago.

At that time, the grandmother who lost her father was just a teenage girl..."

"Okay, Betty, don't mention irrelevant things."

Daisy Adams said, then looked at the young man in front of him again, and then said:
"After the accident of my father's expedition, the body of only one member was found by the sailors at sea and sent back to the Adams family.

And on this body we found my father's notebook.Although the handwriting on it has been somewhat blurred by the sea foam, the content on it can still be roughly read.

It turned out that after my father and the others found the black stone altar on an ice field, they didn't find any mermaids.

There is only a black stone tablet covered with mysterious patterns on the altar, and there is nothing else.

Seeing this, my father couldn't help being disappointed, and had no choice but to return home disappointed.But I thought I couldn't come here in vain, I had to bring back some "trophies".

So he ordered the expedition team to take down the black stone tablet on the altar and take it away.

However, when they pushed the stone tablet behind with a lot of effort, an ancient well with no bottom appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this, my father cheered up again, thinking that the legendary mermaid might be in this deep well.

Immediately without any hesitation, he began to organize the manpower, led the exploration team enthusiastically, and went deep into the ancient well...

And the recording of the notes ends here, and no one knows what happened to them underground.

And the only clue at that time was the huge fish scale that was found by the sailors and hugged tightly all the time...

However, after careful study of the mysterious fish scale, we found that it is not from any existing creature at all, but a scale with a history of tens of thousands of years!

And when I temporarily took over the Adams family, I began to investigate the truth of my father's death that year.

After spending countless financial and material resources, the search fleet finally found the black stone tablet recorded in my father's notebook in the depths of the sea, and salvaged it.

At the same time, I also learned by chance that one month after the Lituya Bay tsunami in 1958, a huge iceberg suddenly appeared in the Huaxia Sea, and there seemed to be a black stone altar on it!
This news made me extremely excited. It is very likely that the truth of my father's death will soon be revealed.

However, after I tried my best to investigate, I found that the records of the Huaxia government for more than half a century ago seemed to be very lackluster due to politically sensitive reasons, leaving almost no useful information.

Most of the experts and scholars who participated in the archaeology back then have passed away, and the clues have been completely cut off.

This can't help but make me very disappointed, and even have the idea of ​​giving up.

However, as if God had mercy, I suddenly got news not long ago.Back then, an archaeologist who not only climbed the iceberg, but even went deep into the deep well of the altar, is still alive!
Overjoyed by this news, I did everything possible to get in touch with the archaeologist.

At first on the phone, the old scholar didn't want to reveal what happened back then, but after I told him all about my father's experience, he told me about the iceberg.

And it wasn't until that moment that I realized that there was no mermaid in that ancient well, but a prehistoric giant frozen in ice! "
