Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 188 End Times and Myth

Seeing the enthusiastic Zhang Mingjie stand up and prepare to leave, Chen Xuan hurriedly called him to a stop.

"By the way, Professor Zhang, there is one more thing."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Mingjie looked at Chen Xuan suspiciously.

"When I dived into the sea of ​​miasma before, I saw a huge animal skeleton..."

Chen Xuan took a deep breath, and began to describe in detail the image of the terrifying skeleton he met underwater, but it was a pity that the most terrifying killing intent of the skeleton could not be expressed in words.

He hoped that the people at the institute could give him some answers.

After hearing Chen Xuan's description, Zhang Mingjie frowned. Even if he didn't witness it with his own eyes, he could feel that this creature was very special just by listening to Chen Xuan's description between the lines.

He thought for a while and said.

"According to what you said, this creature may also be a type of ultra-ancient creature? Hmm... I'm not very good at this, how about it, I will report this news to the dean later, and he will organize the creature Scientific experts research and set up projects."

"Also, regarding the rewards for the research reports you submitted this time, because your findings are quite special, we need to make an evaluation first and give you an answer in a day."

"Then I'll go first."

Then, Zhang Mingjie bid farewell to Chen Xuan directly and left in a hurry.

Looking at Zhang Mingjie's back, Chen Xuan touched his chin.

It seems that the matter of exploding fish nests really attracted Zhang Mingjie, a professor of materials science.

It's just that although I have provided this plan, it is not easy to implement it.

The exact location of the self-explosive fish lair is still unknown. Even if it is detected, the specific situation must be very dangerous. Going deep into the self-explosive fish's lair is like stepping on a minefield, even if you dare not risk yourself .

I don't know what method these experts of the institute will take to resist the explosion of the self-explosive fish.

For the development of military technology, Chen Xuan also has very urgent expectations. In other words, all survivors urgently need more powerful weapons.

Due to the relatively remote location of the Chemical Research Institute, it takes half a day to go back and forth, so it is estimated that it is impossible to go to sea today.

Chen Xuan simply went to the trading floor to make purchases after a long absence.

He had only been to the trading hall of the military department before, and he didn't know what the trading hall of the Chemical Research Institute would be like.

However, when he came to the entrance of the trading hall of the Chemical Research Institute, he was stunned.

Seeing the dazzling array of books inside, is this really a trading floor? How does it feel? It's more like a bookstore.

Chen Xuan entered the trading hall, and Chen Xuan found that there were actually a lot of daily necessities sold here, as well as food and clothes, but they were all in the corner, and the most were books.

Moreover, unlike the chaotic military trading hall, the atmosphere here is very quiet. Although there are some people, everyone is doing their own things silently.

Uh, they are all reading books.

This made Chen Xuan feel more and more like he had come to a bookstore.

But at the same time, he was also very curious about what books were sold here.

He was about to go and have a look, and found that the location of the book was separated by a thin red line, and there was only one opening in the red line, and there was a staff member there.

It seems that if you want to read a book, you can't go in directly.

After inquiring, Chen Xuan learned that to enter the library area to read books, he needs to pay 10 points and show his ID card for registration.

To Chen Xuan, this meant nothing.

He paid the fee first, and then showed his honorary researcher ID card.

After seeing the ID card, the staff suddenly became surprised. After looking Chen Xuan up and down, they returned the 10 points Chen Xuan gave, and said respectfully.

"Because of your identity, you can enter and exit the library areas of each research institute at will."

Chen Xuan didn't expect honorary researchers to have this benefit. Although 10 points is not much, it is still quite a lot. For ordinary people outside, it is equivalent to a day's salary.

Save this money, just in time to buy some more materials later.

Putting away his ID card, Chen Xuan began to walk in front of the rows of bookshelves, reading while walking.

"Experimental Report on Evolved Beast Skeleton", "Invalid Chemical Formula", "36 New Chemical Reactions"... He was dazzled by various academic reports.

Then he walked in, and he saw another category, which was about discussing the end of the world.

What can this discuss?

Chen Xuan shook his head, ready to leave.

But a book on a shelf caught his attention.

"Apocalyptic and Mythological Connections"

It looks interesting.

Chen Xuan walked closer, took down the book, and started flipping through it.

Gradually, he was attracted by the content of the book.

In the book, the author describes various ancient creation myths, including the creation of heaven and earth in the East, the creation of man, Noah's Ark in the West and so on.

Regardless of whether it is the myth of mending the sky, the myth of the ark, or the myths of the minority, they are all related to the flood.

There has been a catastrophic flood on the earth, which has been confirmed by experts long ago, but there have been different opinions on where the flood came from.

In mythology, the flood is a catastrophe that the gods punished the world, a natural disaster caused by the struggle of the gods, and so on.

But in the field of science, there are even more theories. Some say it was brought by extraterrestrial comets, some say it was caused by the melting of glaciers, and some say it was squeezed out of the water inside the earth.

All in all, the source of this flood has always been a mystery.

And the author of the book also put forward a conjecture here, that is, the earth once had a catastrophic flood in a period of time. Could it have anything to do with this flood?
And in those legends, the human beings in the ancient times had physiques far superior to modern people. Whether it was the ancients who lived to be [-] years old or the long-distance runner who lived every day, the legends about them were amazing.

"This has always been treated as a myth, but now it seems that it may not be impossible."

Chen Xuan had heard this before, but now combined with the information in the book, Chen Xuan felt suddenly enlightened.

Could it be that human beings in ancient times were baptized by a flood just like us now, and thus became unimaginably powerful.

"Maybe one day, legends belonging to this era will appear among us, and they will be treated as myths when they are passed down to future generations."

After reading the last paragraph, Chen Xuan bowed his head in thought.

He thought of the mysterious ancient ruins in the cave, and then contacted the ultra-ancient creatures he saw now, Chen Xuan felt that the author's conjecture should be correct.

And the scenes of phantoms he saw when he touched the stone tablet, those stone buildings, maybe there are some secrets, are they ultra-ancient technology?
And the blue cube, so what exactly is it?

Chen Xuan fell into deep doubts.

When he finished thinking and looked up, he realized that it was already dark.
