Chapter 25 Prehistoric Relics
  After briefly waking up, An An fell into a state of "Alzheimer's" again.

Ji Xiu, who wanted to quibble, was spared the trouble.

After An An went back to her room to sleep, Ji Xiu came to the study and started browsing online information, especially information related to prehistoric civilization.

Since Han Yun's death was related to the collapsed prehistoric ruins, he wanted to know what secrets were inside that ruins, and whether he could form an expedition team to go in and take a look.

But he didn't even know the location of the prehistoric ruins Han Yun was exploring.

If you want to explore this ruins, you need the help of a group of saints with special permissions. You Hong can't be contacted now, so you can only discuss the matter after his mission is over.

After several hours of research, Ji Xiu had a general understanding of the prehistoric remains of the Yujing civilization.

The first discovery of prehistoric relics by humans dates back to more than 500 years ago. At that time, there was no Yu Jing Kingdom, and there was only a small fishing village near the sea. The specific location was on the coast to the west of Starlight City.

At that time, humans used the most primitive methods to make a living by fishing and hunting, and the technology tree had not yet been lit.

Until one day, a hunter who went out to hunt discovered a tunnel hidden under a boulder in the jungle. The hunter, who thought there was prey in the cave, entered the pit with curiosity. As a result, he discovered a magnificent underground palace there, and Obtained information left over from prehistoric civilization.

He is the first-generation high priest of the Yu Jing Divine Envoy in the history of the Yu Jing Kingdom.

Under his leadership, the once small fishing village gradually expanded.

During the long years of development, Yu Jingguo has continuously discovered new prehistoric relics. By interpreting the data left by these prehistoric civilizations, Yu Jingguo's development has grown explosively.

And used four prehistoric technologies to build today's five major cities.

These prehistoric relics are also regarded as the most important wealth by the people of Yu Jingguo.

Exploring the ruins and interpreting the materials left by prehistoric civilization are the most important tasks in the eyes of Yu Jingguo scholars.

Among the top institutions under the management of the Yujing Church, the Prehistoric Relics Research Institute is a privileged institution alongside the Saints Group, and even has the power to mobilize military forces to help explore the ruins.

During the long years of development, Yu Jingguo's territory continued to expand, and the number of prehistoric remains excavated was also increasing.

However, only a small number of prehistoric relics can be truly interpreted, and most prehistoric relics are difficult for scholars to translate and interpret.

There is no doubt that every prehistoric relic is a national treasure resource, and every major breakthrough in exploring the relics can contribute greatly to the scientific and technological development of Yu Jingguo.

Seeing this, Ji Xiu felt doubts in his heart.

According to the data, the starting point for human beings to enter civilized society was when the first hunter discovered the ruins of prehistoric civilization.

There is a problem here.

Assuming that the scientific and technological drawings and materials of modern civilization on earth were brought to primitive people, they would not be able to comprehend the knowledge and create technological products because there is an insurmountable knowledge gap in the middle.

So how did the first hunter who discovered prehistoric relics understand this part of knowledge and gradually establish the technologically advanced Yu Jing Kingdom?

Is it knowledge instillation?
  Thinking of this, a new conjecture emerged in Ji Xiu's mind.

Is there a possibility that the so-called prehistoric relics are actually the materials left by the people on earth in the past?

He did not travel through a different world, but came to a future world after a civilizational break.

For example, the human civilization on Earth was destroyed by some unknown force, resulting in the near-annihilation of mankind, and the civilization completely fell to the bottom. Only a handful of people escaped this catastrophe, but they also lost the memory of civilization and entered the most primitive state of development.

Their descendants are the group of fishermen before Yu Jingguo was born.

Therefore, Yu Jingguo, which inherited the prehistoric civilization, that is, the earth's civilization, has many technological systems that are very similar to earth's technology.

Including mobile phones, computers, and a series of technological products.

As for why there is such a conjecture, it is mainly because... I have read too many novels.

With curiosity, Ji Xiu began to search for pictures taken in prehistoric ruins, trying to find familiar earth characters.

Whether it's Chinese, English, or other words, as long as he can see the earth's words, it can prove that his guess is correct.

After some searching, Ji Xiu found a photo of words used by prehistoric civilizations.

The photo was taken in a prehistoric ruins, showing a mysterious mural painted with unknown pigments. The color is bright and remains original even after a long period of time.

The mural is wide and tall, occupying almost the entire wall of the cave. It depicts an aerial view of the city full of technology. The edges of the mural depict various strange scenes, including primeval forests with forested peaks, swamps shrouded in mist, and stars. The dotted night sky, and the turbulent black ocean at the top.

There are a large number of words on the left and right sides of the mural. The words look like a twisted symbol. They are neither letters nor Chinese characters. They are more like a code and cannot be understood.

There are also a large number of scholars' annotations under the photo, but the meaning of this mural left to later generations has not yet been deciphered.

The words on the mural also made Ji Xiu realize that his guess might be wrong. This was not any kind of writing on earth at all, so the prehistoric ruins were most likely not the memories of civilization left by the people on earth.

So he did travel to a different world, rather than coming to a future world where civilization is broken.

Looking through the information left behind by prehistoric civilization, Ji Xiu made an inner decision. He would try to apply to explore the ruins where Han Yun had visited and find the truth about Han Yun's death.

Maybe there is also the secret to finding your own time travel.

But before that, he had to survive the assassination that would come more than ten days later.

When it was noon, Ji Xiu left the apartment and went to the vegetable market.

The vegetable market near the pier sells most of all kinds of seafood, but the prices are not cheap.

This is related to the higher risk factor of fishing at sea. According to the information found online, there are four main dangers that fishermen encounter when going to sea, namely bad weather, attacks by sea beasts, alien plunder, and demonic fog.

Bad weather refers to sudden changes in extreme weather such as strong winds, huge waves, storms, etc., which can easily cause a ship to lose control and sink.

The second is the attack by sea beasts. There are a large number of huge sea beasts in the oceans of this world. They are generally several times larger than the blue whale, the largest species on earth. They have terrifying power and can easily smash fishing boats.

If you are unfortunately attacked by a sea monster, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed.

Alien plunder refers to alien beings living on offshore islands. They often plunder passing fishing boats, causing casualties, and even use the lives of fishermen to blackmail Yu Jingguo in exchange for spiritual mineral resources.

The last devil's fog is a very rare phenomenon. According to information on the Internet, fishing boats occasionally encounter devil's fog while sailing. After the boat enters the fog, it will lose its direction and the pointer and compass will become invalid. The mental state of the fishermen is here During this period, the person will be eroded by some mysterious force, causing confusion, madness, vomiting, fainting, and other negative states. In severe cases, he may even die suddenly.

The high risk of going to sea has caused the price of fish to rise.

This is only the price at the wharf wet market. If the fish is shipped to three inland cities, plus shipping costs, it will even be half or even twice as expensive.

Entering the vegetable market, the ground is damp and waterlogged, and the air is filled with a fishy and salty smell. There are many kinds of seafood on the stalls, mainly fish, shellfish, crustaceans, and molluscs.

The sea fish Ji Xiu here has never been seen on earth, and they look all kinds of strange.

Before each purchase, Ji Xiu would use his mobile phone to check the information to see if it tastes good and then decide whether to buy it.

Many fishmongers seem to know Li Tan. They will even say hello when they see him passing by. Ji Xiu will also nod politely, even though he does not know him at all.

When he got home, Ji Xiu put some ingredients in the refrigerator and started making lunch.

An hour later, he came to An An's room, knocked on the door and asked:

"Sister An, eat."

Seeing that there was no movement in the house, Ji Xiu had no choice but to push down the door handle and decided to invite the "God of War" out for dinner.

As expected, An An was lying on the bed in the room, wrapped in his own quilt, sleeping soundly with his head tilted.

Arriving at the bedside, Ji Xiu leaned closer and shouted:

"Sister An, eat!"

This time, An An finally reacted. She opened her sleepy eyes and glanced at him, then nodded sharply:

"I'm hungry, let's eat."

With that said, An An lifted the quilt, stood up, followed the scent to the living room, and sat down at the dining table.

After glancing at the three dishes on the table, An An lowered his head and sniffed, a trace of solemnity appeared in his confused eyes:

"Looks like a challenge."

As he said that, An An picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of steaming fish fillet and stuffed it into his mouth. He frowned slightly while chewing:

"Hiss~ It's indeed a challenge."

Seeing this scene, Ji Xiu was confused. His cooking skills were not top-notch, but they were not bad enough to be questioned.

Before time travel, his parents passed away early. Living alone allowed him to learn how to make meals very early. Although he had money to hire a nanny, he did not like to live with others and enjoyed living alone. Making delicious food was one of the few things in his life. Part of the fun.

After all, there is no financial pressure, and many things that may seem cumbersome in the eyes of ordinary people are very meaningful to him.

Making delicious food is one of them.

With doubts, Ji Xiu came and sat down opposite An An, picked up a piece of fish fillet with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

The moment he bit into it, an indescribable taste hit Tianling Gai.

This smell weaved an apocalyptic scene full of nuclear pollution in Ji Xiu's mind. He was walking in an abandoned steel factory. He had been thirsty for several days and found the only water source, a pool of red rusty water. Driven by instinct, He lowered his head and took a sip. The smell of earth mixed with rust instantly filled his mouth and nose.

This taste cannot be described in words, only the scenes in my mind can barely describe it.

He immediately stood up and ran to the sink, spitting out all the fish meat in his mouth:
  "Damn, it's simply not for human consumption."

Ji Xiu was puzzled by the disgusting taste of the fish. He had checked the information before buying it. The fish tasted delicious, so how could it be like this?

With doubts, he immediately took out his mobile phone and looked up the information.

Soon, Ji Xiu found the answer.

The ingredient he used, "Hoopfish", has a piece of reddish gall meat in its body. This fish meat is non-toxic, but it tastes extremely disgusting and must be removed before cooking.

After understanding the reason, Ji Xiu wiped the crystal from the corner of his mouth and prepared to pour the food.

When he turned to look at the dining table, he was surprised to find that An An was still eating the steamed fish fillet made from the anchovy from the previous bowl. While she stuffed the fish into her mouth and chewed it, her expression looked painful. She seemed to be aware of his gaze and turned her head. She sighed dejectedly at him:
  "I've never had such a bad fish fillet in my life."

"Why do you still eat it if it tastes bad?" Ji Xiu was stunned.

Hearing these words, An An, who was eating, suddenly stopped her chopsticks and fell into deep thought. After a few seconds, she suddenly nodded:
  "Yes, why do I continue to eat if it tastes so bad?"

Ji Xiu:......
