Chapter 49 The Penguin's Conspiracy

After comparing the cuneiform characters on the broken parchment scroll with a large computer database, an unexpected conclusion was drawn.

"Bruce"

"Ok?"

"Is it true that the ancient Egyptian civilization was established by aliens?"

It's not surprising that Jason would think so. It should be said that people who don't think so after reading the translation on the parchment scroll are special.

It was an instruction manual, at least Jason could only call it an instruction manual. The content recorded on it was to introduce how to use energy ores. Because the fragments were not complete, only part of the content could be translated, but this part of the content It is enough to explain the horror of energy gems.

The principle is unknown, but the biggest feature of this gemstone is that it can store energy, including light energy.

When Bruce traced the smuggled cultural relics in reverse, he discovered that the cultural relics came from a newly discovered catacomb in Egypt.It is located on a newly developed piece of land west of the Valley of the Kings, and its discovery was dramatic. A real estate tycoon wanted to develop a resort with the theme of the Valley of the Kings. It was time to discover the tomb.

The scale of the tomb is so small that it cannot be compared with the Valley of the Kings at all. There are no gorgeous murals, rich funerary objects, and even no record of the identity of the owner of the tomb.

There are almost no valuable funerary objects at all in the tomb, except for the four gorgeous gold pots beside the rotten coffin, which are particularly eye-catching, and the inside of the pots is empty.All historians have always believed that they were the jars used to house the mummified viscera of this play.

What makes archaeologists feel strange is that unlike the pottery pots in which mummy organs are placed in the conventional sense, these four gold pots do not have any head decorations, they are just ordinary pots, and such pots are only found in the Middle Kingdom. It was only used to store internal organs in the past, but the pattern on the gold pot is closer to the aesthetics of the New Kingdom era.

The identity of the culprit is unknown, and the tomb itself does not have any clues worthy of archaeology. Unlike the exquisitely carved shrubs in the Valley of the Kings, it is just a very ordinary wooden coffin. Due to the high moisture content of the soil where the cemetery is located, the coffin has rotted. The linen wrapped in it was also in tatters, and the body was naturally incomplete.

The selection of the geographical location of this cemetery and the level of mummification are simply laymen. Therefore, archaeologists believe that the owner of the cemetery is probably just a small person with certain financial resources but not enough to be mummified.

These items smuggled by the Penguin and the four gold jars are all the funerary objects in this tomb.The funerary objects were stolen when they were transported from the tomb to the Egyptian Museum. Later, the four gold pots were searched and wiped from the local black market, and the whereabouts of the remaining sheepskin fragments, the statue of the maid and the slice of the crystal gemstone can only be found from the local black market. The arrested criminals learned that it was sold to a foreigner, but they didn't know who it was or where it came from. The goods were sold with the money and delivery, but the identity of the buyer was from these tomb robbers. Unspoken rules, all I can know is that a short, fat man who walks a little wobbly bought it. The interruption of the clues made the stolen cultural relics completely lost. Judging from the time and the description of the tomb robber, it should be a penguin. bought.

What makes Bruce wonder is why he let go of the four pots of gold with Penguin's behavior. No matter how you look at it, the four pots of gold are more valuable. It is difficult to smuggle this reason as a reason to give up the pot of gold.

"Why didn't he buy the pot of gold too?"

The question Jason was asking was also something Bruce wanted to know.Bruce watched the message on the screen in silence.

"Unless Penguin knows the value of these three things"

This is the only possible answer.

"How did he know?"

Jason continued to use his curious baby's curiosity to ask, but there are too many answers to this question. The Penguin has smuggled a lot of things, and he probably got other parts of the scroll from other goods. , It may also be that some clues were found from the Indian legend, or one or two things were learned from the mouth of an insider; but all this can only be answered by the Penguin himself.

Just when Bruce's analysis of the case was in a stalemate, the bat alarm sounded untimely, and the camera screen related to the monitoring alarm was called up, and the location of a physics research institution appeared on the screen.

The Batmobile quickly arrived at its destination. After Bruce and Jason got off the Batmobile, they faced a laboratory that was almost in ruins.

Jason carefully observed the half-collapsed laboratory, and it was obvious that some of the instruments here had been directly taken away.

"What is this place for?"

Jason turned his head and asked Bruce, who was looking for something in the ruins.

"A research laboratory for physical scientific research projects on the influence of magnetic fields on storms"

Bruce frowned as he watched what was pressed under a piece of broken glass.

"What did you find?"

Jason noticed Bruce's strangeness and walked over curiously.When he saw Bruce looking at the things in his hands with a serious expression, he was slightly taken aback.

"feather?"

"Owl's"

Jason didn't want to know what bird the feather belonged to at all, and he wanted to know why Bruce was staring at a feather with a serious expression on his face.It's just that Bruce didn't give him a chance to ask questions, and after looking around for a while, he said:

"Go, go."

"Hey, are you ready?"

Bruce's on-site inspection this time was a bit faster than Jason expected.

"Well, obviously the Penguin came here for this device, and leave the rest to the police."

Listening to the sound of sirens approaching from far, Bruce and Jason left the physics laboratory.

"What does that feather represent?"

As soon as he returned to the Batcave, Jason couldn't wait to ask.But Bruce seems to be immersed in the analysis of a video recording in the computer, without any intention of answering.

The video recording in the computer is the bat camera that Bruce placed near the laboratory, and at the moment Bruce is using the software to constantly analyze something from this video.The light gray frequency pattern kept flickering, and finally stopped at a value.

"what is this?"

After Bruce pressed a button, a piercing sound suddenly came from the stereo. The frequency of the sound was so high that Jason covered his ears tightly.

"This is the high-frequency sound of Penguin's bird-training whistle"

"...Doesn't the bird-training whistle and the dog-training whistle make the same sound that people can't hear?"

Because of the stimulation of the high-frequency rhythm just now, Jason felt that Bruce's voice seemed to be separated by a layer of water.

"I lowered the frequency"

Bruce said lightly, and then continued with the operation in hand.Jason rubbed his ears vigorously to ease the discomfort in his ears.

"What does that sound mean?"

"Penguin usually uses well-trained birds to collect intelligence and help him do things that humans can't do. After this high-frequency sound sounded, a group of owls flew into the laboratory and destroyed the big monster with their beaks and claws. Part of the surveillance cameras, you see"

Bruce pointed to a very blurry location to show Jason. After zooming in several times, and after pixel compensation by software, Jason finally saw clearly that it was an owl that was destroying the camera device.

"...Wouldn't they trigger an alarm if they destroyed the camera device like this?"

"Even if it is triggered, the security company can't know the specific situation, so they can only come to check it on the spot"

"What did the Penguin do?"

"……right"

"...What is Penguin planning to do with that device?"

The reason why the Penguin went all out to snatch a piece of scientific research equipment?

"That device can simulate the process of a magnetic field creating a storm"

"...But it shouldn't be too large-scale."

If it could create a large-scale storm, this machine might have been acquired by the military long ago.

"...couldn't be made just because there wasn't enough energy"

Having said that, Bruce has already noticed the Penguin's plan and why he let the Riddler steal the Sacred Heart. The energy stored in that gem is what the machine needs...
