Chapter 65 Evidence of Existence

"This sounds very interesting. I also lived in India and Afghanistan for a period of time. Maybe I can help you. Can you tell me in detail?" Di Renjie inquired about the news calmly.

"Ah, has Mr. Watson ever been to India?" Richard had a look of surprise on his weather-beaten face, and a kind of brilliance called anticipation bloomed in his eyes:

"Then I think we must have a lot of common language!"

"Oh, Richard is going to start spreading his conjectures about the 'Lost Far Eastern Continent' to others again." Joseph seemed to be teasing, but in fact he was quietly reminding Di Renjie not to be fooled by Richard. The hype speaks in a daze.

"How can it be called a conjecture? I have a lot of evidence that can indirectly prove that the Far East Continent once really existed. Right now, I just lack some key direct evidence. Once I fill in the last link of this chain of evidence, I will I can guarantee that this will be a great discovery that will shock the whole world."

Richard muttered a few words, but it was obviously not the first time he encountered such ridicule, so he was not angry and dissatisfied, but continued to chat with Di Renjie:
"Mr. Watson, you are very intelligent at first glance. I believe that after I have introduced all the information about the 'Far Eastern Continent', you will make a reasonable judgment."

Di Renjie looked at Richard's sincere eyes that yearned for approval. He was obviously looking forward to the message about the "Far Eastern Continent" from Richard's mouth at the moment, but he put on a polite look on his face that was completely out of respect for the other party. Come with an attitude of promise:

"Of course, sir, as a newcomer, I'd love to hear from you about your research."

"Great," Richard clapped his hands. "After listening, you will definitely feel that today's trip is worthwhile."

Joseph made a gesture of shrugging his shoulders, as if regretting that he failed to prevent Di Renjie from going astray.

Angelina and Mrs. Stubbs didn't express anything. Although they didn't quite believe Richard's words, they didn't believe it to the point of complete disbelief. Most of the time, they just regarded it as an interesting According to the story, this mentality is probably similar to the love of books such as "The Unsolved Mysteries of the Big World X" in the 21st century.

Essentially they are looking at Richard's story with curious eyes.

Patrick has an indifferent attitude, he doesn't care what happened in the far east, he is still at the age of indulging in emotional relationships.

Right now, only Di Renjie has the most complicated emotions. On the one hand, he expects Richard's statement to clear up his doubts, and on the other hand, he is worried that the ending of the story will be difficult for him to accept.

"Look, Mr. Watson." Richard didn't notice the subtle thoughts of everyone, but took out a notebook directly from his body. There was a map in the notebook, which was not too big, but it was clearly drawn. The world is mapped out.

"At this location," Richard's index finger landed on a mountain range on the map: "This is the Himalayas, further north is the Karakoram Mountains, and further north is the Altai Mountains. The eastern end of the subcontinent, and beyond these high mountains, we come to the Sea of ​​Misty in the Northwest of the Pacific Ocean."

Richard's finger pointed to the location on the map that should have been Dongtu and the north of Dongtu (Eastern Siberia Mountains), but now there is an endless ocean.

"The Misty Sea, it is clearly connected to the Pacific Ocean without hindrance, but it has a climate system that is completely different from the Pacific Ocean. I have crossed the Pacific Ocean with a boat, and the ocean and weather there are very mild in most cases. It is completely inconsistent with the characteristics of the misty sea, huge waves, fog, and storms. So far, no oceanographer or meteorologist has been able to give a reasonable explanation. This is the first doubt." Reason Chad was obviously talking about the excitement and the excitement was getting higher and higher.

"It's really puzzling," Di Renjie agreed. He didn't pay attention to it before, but after Richard pointed out the current situation and problem, he immediately realized the abnormality.

"But in the same way, even if the 'Far Eastern Continent' you're talking about really existed, it still can't explain the abnormal climate and ocean." Joseph continued to play the role of pouring cold water, and now he was afraid that Richard would infect his enthusiasm to others. this newcomer.

"Don't worry, I have other evidence to back it up," Richard didn't intend to talk to Joseph, turned his head and continued to say to Di Renjie:
"Mr. Watson, have you ever learned about the reasons for the formation of mountains? There are several reasons for the formation of mountains, but in general they are inseparable from volcanic eruptions and plate movements, and the Himalayas and Karakoram regions lack If there are enough traces of volcanic movement, then the cause of these mountain systems can only be related to the movement of the crust and the plate. However, the interesting thing is that if the cause of these mountains is related to the movement of the plate and the crust, then at the location of the Misty Sea, it is There should be an uplifted continental plate that can oppose the Indian subcontinental plate, but what do we see? It's a vast ocean! This is the second doubt."

[Tuban, he is right, there should have been Tubo here...] Di Renjie found that Richard's deduction was getting closer and closer to the world he had seen in his previous life.

"In addition, I am a biologist. As we all know, the Mississippi alligator in North America is the only alligator in the world, but a few years ago, when I was searching for dinosaur fossils in Southeast Asia, I collected a Special crocodile skeleton, after judging, I think it is a never-before-discovered alligator, which is much smaller than the American alligator;

"This immediately aroused my curiosity. After many inquiries, I learned that the bones of this alligator came from an adventure ship that often went in and out of the misty sea, so I tried everything possible to find that adventure ship. Only then did I learn that this skeleton came from the bottom of the Misty Sea..."

"It is also possible that you were deceived by them. They deceived you with the skeleton of a young American alligator. As we all know, the misty sea area is very dangerous. Once ordinary people go into the sea, they will almost die. How could anyone take risks there? Ship business." Joseph found another loophole.

"Well, in fact, they have some connection with the bottomless abyss..." Richard said with a guilty conscience.

"Oh, what did I hear?" Mrs. Stubbs glanced at Richard in surprise: "People in the Abyss path are very dangerous, Mr. Richard, although we are not members of the church, if possible, It's best not to have any contact with them."

"Of course, nothing after that," Richard assured.

"And then?" Di Renjie didn't want to hear them continue to entangle on this topic, so he asked directly.

"Ah," Richard exclaimed. He didn't expect his remarks to actually arouse the interest of the new members, which made him very excited:

"Then there is the custom. Among the aborigines in North America, there is a kind of sacrificial sun dance. This dance advocates praying to the gods under the condition of fasting. It is not common, and it can even be said to be very abrupt, but it is more similar to Buddhists in India, and I think there must be some kind of connection behind it."

"This is even more unreasonable. The sun dance has a clear pedigree in the folklore of the North American Indians. Don't you want to say that long, long ago, before Mr. Columbus discovered the New World, the distant Far Eastern continent was once and Has there been any exchange in North America?" Joseph said he could hardly agree.

Richard didn't bother to pay attention to Joseph, he looked at Di Renjie expectantly.

"To be honest, the chain of arguments and evidence you put forward is not strict, but I think this is a possible explanation, and more importantly, this explanation is full of charm, isn't it?" Di Renjie said with a smile .

"Glamour! That's right, that's what fascinates me about it," Richard exclaimed, almost thinking Di Renjie was his bosom friend at the moment.

Di Renjie looked at Richard who was delighted in front of him. He didn't say anything more, but moved his eyes out of the window, looking at the infinite distance, beyond layers of mountains and patches of clouds, as if in this way, you can see To the distant and unknowable hometown that belongs to him.

[If you really existed,] he thought like this: [Then I will definitely find you, for sure. 】
