Lina looked at the wood beside her and her eyes widened with disbelief.
You know, although everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement, because both of them are members of TPC, this confidentiality agreement is basically meaningless to them.
"Well... because I've never noticed it, and neither the captain nor Dr. Higashino seems to have worn wedding rings, so I never thought they were a couple..."
Dagu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"That's because I always have to do research, and wearing a ring may look beautiful, but it can sometimes become a burden."
At this time, Higashino Yu had already let go of Iruma Kei, no, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call her Higashino Kei now, but he still held her hand tightly.
"Did something happen?"
"Well, Dr. Higashino, this is a meteorite, but after our detection, we found that the structure of this meteorite belongs to the Earth and it is an Earth 30 million years ago. We know that you are an expert in super-ancient research, so we would like to ask you to help us see whether it is true or not."
As Horii spoke, he played the 3D projection in the time machine again.
"Everyone, I am You Lian, the captain of the Earth 0.2 Guard... When this time machine reaches the Earth, many great changes will occur on the Earth. The first is the resurrection of the monster Golzan that shook the earth and the monster Melba that shattered the sky."
"The only one who can protect the earth from catastrophic disaster is the giant in the pyramid. That giant used to be the protector of the earth. There is only one way to revive the giant, and that is *****"
When the translator translated the last sentence, there was noise that could not be eliminated.
"This is the most critical part, but there is always noise that cannot be completely eliminated, so what do you think about this issue, Dr. Higashino?" Horii said, touching his chin.
"What you actually want to say is, could this thing be a prank or a trap by aliens?" Higashino Yuu gently stroked the metal shell of the time machine while looking at Horii.
165. Everything that exists will leave traces
There are aliens in this world, and everyone knew this before the Victory Team was formed.
They possess technology that Earth doesn't have, come from across the universe, and even once tried to kidnap Commander Sawai.
Although it is obvious that this time machine does not belong to the current Earth technology, they cannot guarantee whether it is alien technology.
"Actually... you have already determined this in your heart without me having to tell you."
Higashino Yuu looked at the Earth language translator connected to the side, his eyes never leaving Horii's face.
"I……"
Being stared at by Higashino Yu, Horii's face turned pale. He opened his mouth to say something but couldn't.
"Because if I were to admit this, it would mean that I would overthrow the authority of the past. There were civilizations on Earth before us that were more prosperous and had more advanced technology than ours. We are nothing more than wild monkeys that evolved anew on their ruins."
Horii opened his mouth and finally sat down in his seat weakly.
"Yes, this is incredible. How could there be such advanced technology on Earth tens of millions of years ago?" Dr. Jiancun on the side also nodded.
"But why not? The Earth was born 46 billion years ago. According to Darwin's theory of evolution, humans appeared on Earth only 500 million years ago. Why can't other civilizations be born in such a long time span?"
“Don’t forget that the first animals on Earth appeared 5.9 million years ago, vertebrates appeared 5.05 million years ago, quadrupeds appeared 3.95 million years ago, and mammals appeared 2.2 million years ago.
About 8000 million years ago, the common ancestor of primates, including humans, the great crested dinosaur, lived at the same time as the dinosaurs. It was not until 6000 million years ago that the ancient apes began to appear. More than 5000 million years ago, primates differentiated from lower primate proto-types into higher primates. 3300 million to 2400 million years ago, apes emerged from Old World monkeys. "
"Wait, you also said that apes originated from monkeys in the Old World 3300 million to 2400 million years ago. Then there shouldn't be any civilization better than ours on Earth. After all, we are the newest species on Earth." Dr. Kenmura interrupted Higashino Yuu.
"Yes, I know." Higashino Yuu nodded: "But this all has a premise, that evolution is ongoing, but do you see that evolution is really ongoing now?"
"What does this 'continue' mean?" Dagu, who was watching the debate, felt dizzy and subconsciously asked Lina beside him.
"What I mean is, if Darwin's theory of evolution is really a straight line, then in addition to us humans who have evolved fully, there should also be cavemen and Yuanmoumen on the earth, species that have not yet evolved fully into humans. In other words, you might see an orangutan walking down from a tree and picking up tools one day." Higashino Yuu glanced at him and explained.
"Once upon a time, a group of apes came down from the trees and picked up tools, and these were the ancestors of humans."
This is basically recognized by the entire scientific community. This is also the reason why Higashino Yuu is considered a heretic in the scientific circle.
"But it's obvious that our current technology can reach the moon and catch turtles in the five oceans, but that kind of human has not appeared before us."
Higashino Yu once again looked deeply at everyone, then shook his head and sighed.
"I have said in my previous papers that I actually agree that humans or creatures on Earth do not evolve in a linear and stable manner but in a leaping manner. When the Earth is calm, they are all making adjustments and will not evolve. However, once a crisis occurs, such as the extinction of dinosaurs, during the ice age, or the great flood, they will show their extraordinary evolutionary abilities. They may even evolve in a completely different way."
"So you admit that there was a more advanced civilization before ours? Where is the evidence?" Dr. Jiancun still insisted on this point.
"The evidence is right in front of us." Higashino Yuu pointed at the space-time machine in front of him, "This Earth language translator was developed by Horii and I. No, to be more precise, I provided the idea and Horii developed it. The sounds of almost all known creatures on Earth were collected here, and the commonalities of these sounds were evolved through computers, and then translated into the sounds of modern people."
Higashino Yuu looked at her and smiled, "Although I have always supported the idea that life on Earth evolved in leaps and bounds, I also believe that 'everything that exists will leave traces'. Perhaps we humans don't know these things, but there must be other life on Earth that survived that era and recorded traces of that era, and one of those traces is sound."
"This translator cannot translate sounds other than those produced on Earth, but it can translate 80 to 90 percent of the sounds produced on Earth, if not 100 percent. Therefore, the fact that this sound can be translated proves that during the leap evolution, there was a creature that evolved a high IQ before us humans and formed an excellent civilization."
It's well-reasoned and convincing, but it's a bit unorthodox. 650 challenges the existing authority.
Looking at the silent crowd, Higashino Yu continued.
"Besides, the monster has already appeared, but are we still here considering the truth of the matter? Now even if there is only a straw in front of us, we should desperately grab it! Instead of looking back and thinking whether the other party is a trap or something else, it is better to try to grab it, just in case it succeeds."
"That's right. If we use Earth's current weapons to deal with that big guy, they are either too destructive or not powerful enough to be of much use. We don't have time to waste here any more."
Although it is still difficult for Horii to accept Higashino Yu's point of view, he accepts what Higashino Yu said.
After all, scientific experiments never succeed overnight. The only success is achieved after repeated trial and error. No one can tell how many people have failed along the way.
"That's right, Golzan has appeared and Melba will definitely appear as well. We can't waste any more time, so captain, make the decision." Da Gu on the side also said loudly.
For some reason, ever since the time machine appeared, he had a special throbbing in his heart, as if it was reminding him that this was true, and that the giant in the pyramid was necessary to save the earth.
166. The Land of Tiga
"But even if you say so, where should we look for it?" Deputy Captain Zong Fang looked at everyone and finally said.
"We'll find it soon." Ye Rui said as he typed frantically on the keyboard. Based on the analysis of the ancient language, he finally concluded that the possible location of the pyramid is in the Tiga area!
"Why is it there!" Looking at the markings on the map, Iruma Hui glanced at Higashino Yu and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"President, what's wrong?" Lina on the side looked at her captain's frowning brows and couldn't help but feel curious.
"Because that's one of my research bases."
Without waiting for Ikuma Hui to explain, Higashino Yu spoke directly.
"There is an ancient legend circulating in this area. When darkness covers the earth, the giant sleeping in the mountains will wake up and save the earth. When he completes his mission, he will return to the mountains to sleep again. So in order to conduct research, I once lived here for a while."
Higashino Yuu glanced at everyone and said slowly.
If you connect every movie or theater of Ultraman Tiga together, you will find that Ultraman Tiga has appeared more than once in the history of the Earth. From ancient times to the future, he will always be there whenever the world faces a huge crisis.
"There is actually such a legend!" Xincheng on the side was a little surprised after hearing it.
"This is normal. Many real events have turned into legends in the course of history. No one can tell which is true and which is false. But if there is such a legend, I would have more confidence in this exploration." He touched his chin as he spoke: "Giants hidden in the mountains... this really sounds more reliable than hiding in the pyramids."
"Well, let's set off now!" Hearing the brains of his team say this, Iruma Hui smiled a little more and gave a loud order.
"Yes!"
Just as everyone was about to leave, an emergency contact video suddenly appeared on the big screen in the conference room.
"This is the news sent by TPC South America!"
When Iruma Hui saw the source of the video, her heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling.
At the same time, Ye Rui on the other side was responsible for connecting.
The next second, the team members of the South American branch appeared on the big screen: "Emergency information, a monster appeared on Easter Island. This is the image taken by the transmitting satellite."
Under the gaze of everyone, a mountain collapsed, revealing the figure of a ferocious monster in the peak.
It looked like an ancient dragon, with a ferocious face and sharp barbs on its back, which was more than fifty meters long. With its wings spread, it easily blew away all the millstone-sized stones around it. The horrific storm spread far away and even uprooted large trees that had grown for decades.
Then it flew rapidly towards Neon. According to satellite estimates, its speed reached Mach 6, which is six times the speed of sound.
You have to know that their current Victory Swallow-5.5 is only traveling at full speed of Mach on Earth, which means that if they drive a fighter jet to chase this guy, they won't even get a drop of dust.
"It's Melba, the monster that broke the sky!"
Da Gu looked at the monster and shouted excitedly.
"Okay, now don't worry about who the other party is. Anyway, the earth has indeed undergone tremendous changes as Youlian said, so we have to hurry up and act immediately!"
As Higashino Yuu spoke, he patted Dagu's shoulder and turned to walk out the door.
"Wait, Dr. Higashino, are you going with us this time too?" Horii was stunned when he saw this scene and then asked loudly.
"Of course, after all, that was a place I had studied before. With me here, I can at least help you eliminate some wrong answers, right?"
Higashino Yu turned his head and smiled, then looked at Iruma Kei who was not far away.
"Well, I agree, but please be careful on the road."
Iruma Kei nodded.
……
The land of Tiga.
The origin of this name is no longer traceable, but it seems that this place has been called this name since a long, long time ago.
"Are there really giants here? Even if there is a pyramid with giants hidden in it, it would be difficult to find it."
Sitting in the research base that Higashino Yuu once used to study and preserve items, Horii put out various detection tools while staring at the detection map on the computer and complaining.
"I don't know that either, but there were indeed people living here in ancient times. These are the fossils I dug out from the valley in the east."
Dongye You smiled and showed them some arrowheads, stone axes and other things, including two half-section sculptures that looked like broken totems.
"What kind of scepter is this? Could ancient people have such a high level of craftsmanship? And this scepter is too big," Xincheng asked curiously as he looked at a crystal jade-like cylinder displayed on a shelf, which was more than three meters long and nearly twenty centimeters thick.
"Actually, it is a bone fossil of an arm bone." Higashino Yu pushed his glasses and said with a smile.
"How is this possible! How can an arm bone be this thick? This bone is almost as thick as my arm, and you're telling me this is a bone fossil!"
Xincheng rolled up his sleeves to reveal his muscles and compared them to the fossil, then couldn't help but complain.
"Although it's hard to believe, this is a bone fossil." Higashino You picked up the piece of jade and showed it to everyone with a smile.
"Is this a dinosaur fossil?" Lina also came over and asked.
"No, according to this piece of bone, the arm of the owner of this bone must have been about three to five meters thick. Even the dinosaurs (Wang Wang Hello) have never seen such a thick arm bone, and it is even more unheard of in the Japanese area."
Without anyone saying anything, Horii was the first to refute Ling.
"This... should be the skeleton of a monster." Dagu on the side said after a moment of silence.
"Yes, that's the correct answer." Higashino Yu looked at Dagu deeply. It must be said that Dagu has always had an amazing intuition when it comes to monsters.
"This is not only the skeleton of a monster, but also a monster that was beaten to death!"
Higashino You pointed to an oblique cross-section of the bone and said slowly, even after who knows how many years, the cross-section was still as smooth as a mirror.
"This... is amazing..."
It would have been fine if they didn't know what it was just now, but now that they knew what it was, everyone couldn't help but imagine a scene of a giant holding a big sword and directly cutting off the enemy's forearm bone, and they couldn't help but sigh at the same time.
167. Absorbing the Power of Light
"I'm sorry, Mr. Dongye, I shouldn't have doubted the academic papers you once published."
Suddenly, Horii stood up and bowed 90 degrees to Higashino Yu.
"Haha, it's nothing. To be honest, if I hadn't discovered these things, anyone who saw them would think they were fantasy."
Higashino Yu patted his shoulder and said, "Just like Dr. Mizuno's belief that there are other intelligent life forms in the Earth's ionosphere, hasn't it also been dismissed as a fantasy by people?"
Dr. Mizuno once made such an assumption. He believed that there must be intelligent life forms like humans on Earth. If communication is possible, then the first contact would be meaningful.
However, this view was also criticized and ridiculed by many people. The public believed that if such life forms really existed, humans would have discovered them long ago. Just like Higashino Yuu, everyone believed that humans were the first intelligent creatures to appear on Earth. Before that, it was impossible for intelligent creatures and civilizations to exist that were more advanced than humans.
"But there is so much evidence here, so why don't the opponents believe it?" Xincheng couldn't help but say as he looked at the various fossils here.
"Because people always believe in so-called authority, but forget that past history is just repeating itself in the present. So every time there is a new discovery, it often comes at the cost of blood. For example, the heliocentric theory and the geocentric theory."
This time, before Higashino Yu could say anything, Horii spoke directly.
Giordano Bruno once spread Copernicus' heliocentric theory to Europe and bravely defended the heliocentric theory. But at that time, the geocentric theory had already been accepted by the Catholic Church, so the emergence of the heliocentric theory was undoubtedly a challenge to the church!
The influence of Catholicism in the 16th century was extremely astonishing. Bruno's heliocentric theory posed a threat to the rights of the church, so he was arrested and imprisoned in 1592. He was eventually identified as a "heretic" by the Inquisition and burned to death in the Piazza della Signoria in Rome.
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. We are not here to take ideological classes. Instead, let's go find the giant as soon as possible. Since it is a giant in the pyramid, maybe the pyramid has the ability to block electromagnetic waves from penetrating deeply, so let's go look for it together."
Dongye patted everyone's shoulders and said.
