Chapter 1310 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter (Extra Chapter 2)
Shu You's question left a group of archaeologists with a mixture of embarrassment and subtle unease.
"Um, Mr. Shu,"
The white-haired team leader hesitated for a moment, finding it difficult to speak, and asked, "Does your family have any blueprints for Shu Jiao's tomb?"
Shu You: ?
Are you serious?
You dug up my ancestral tomb, and you still want me to draw up the blueprints?
The team leader guiltily looked away.
They're truly out of ideas!
We've used all sorts of equipment and instruments, scanned the internal map, and even used four waves of bombs, but this door just won't open!
"No."
Shu You said irritably, "If you can't do it, then you can leave. If your skills aren't up to par, I can't let you destroy our ancestors' tomb."
"No, no, no, give us a little more time..."
As they were talking, a faint chime suddenly rang out, and a full moon rose over the sea.
Today is the sixteenth.
Full moon.
"Teacher, teacher!"
A student's excited voice rang out, "A mechanism has been opened here."
what? !
The group of people instantly perked up and rushed over to see.
It is a stone-carved twelve-hour clock.
At this moment, perhaps sensing something, the hour and minute hands began to click.
Eight twenty.
Everyone looked down at their timetables again; it was 8:20, exactly.
Everyone was shocked.
What kind of technology is this?!
[Tide sensing? No, what makes this watch rotate so precisely? Did they have such technology in ancient times?]
I support the dating theory. Otherwise, where do the mysteries of lost countries in history come from? And these technologies—our science must have reached a certain level of development at the time—why didn't they survive?
I also support it; otherwise, it would be really hard to explain.
"Click", "click"...
As the time is set, a small dot is recessed in the center of the clock, and a tiny "舒" (shu) character is engraved inside the dot.
What is needed?
A group of people all turned to look at Shu You.
"Mr. Shu, does your Shu family have any inherited keepsakes?"
Shu You thought about it carefully, "No."
"Really not?"
"Not really."
What should we put here?
A group of people began searching around, making guesses as they went.
"Would a seal be needed?"
"Is it possible that it's unlocked by fingerprint?"
"Get lost! Back then, fingerprint unlocking didn't exist. You might as well say bloodline unlocking..."
Bloodline unlocked?
Shu You raised an eyebrow and walked over to take a look out of curiosity. After thinking for two seconds, she put her finger in and immediately felt a sharp pain in her fingertip.
"Sigh~"
She quickly pulled her finger out, but the tip was pricked, and blood dripped onto the dent.
"Boom!"
Instantly, the entire stone gate trembled and made a loud noise.
Shu You: ? ? ?
My goodness, how did you... how did you come up with this technology?
So it really is a bloodline unlock?!
No?
Has the lineage truly been severed?
That's not right either.
The Shu family's history spans over nine hundred years, with each year meticulously recorded. The historical records are kept in the library, and there has never been a gap in the lineage!
Not only was Shu You stunned, but the group of archaeologists and netizens were also stunned.
Wait a minute... is this even scientifically possible?
[What am I seeing? DNA recognition unlocking? Is this technology from ancient times?]
[And the intelligent time calibration is also very unscientific.]
The time to witness history has come!!!
Does this mean that our ancestors were already conducting biological research more than 900 years ago?
"Boom boom boom~"
Regardless of what netizens are saying, the stone door that couldn't be blown open finally slowly disappeared to the sides.
The members of the archaeological team exchanged glances, and together with Shu You, they slowly and cautiously entered the tomb.
As soon as I entered, I was overwhelmed by the sight of the jade steps.
Heavenly Bodhisattva!
Whose tombstone is made of jade?!
Those who are not of the Shu clan will die if they enter.
In front of the steps, seven large, bright characters are engraved on the jade tablet.
Of course, this is normal.
Experienced archaeologists have encountered such warning inscriptions in tombs before; almost every major imperial mausoleum has one that reads "Unauthorized entry will result in death." You get used to it.
The group slowly walked inside.
I had only taken three or five steps, and hadn't even stepped onto the stairs, when the equipment I was carrying started blaring a series of piercing alarms.
"Drip! Drip! Drip!"
Sharp and urgent.
"Teacher, we have detected unidentified particulate matter in the air. It is colorless and a new type of substance that our instrument has never recorded before. It is being ejected from fine holes on both sides, and its function is currently unknown."
One student answered.
Since they were wearing gas masks, they weren't that scared.
But soon things went wrong.
The moment they stepped onto the jade steps, the group of people seemed to be frozen in place, their eyes vacant.
"Qiang Kingdom documents! These are Qiang Kingdom documents!! Hahaha, I knew they must exist!"
"The lost Min Kingdom documents, my God, so many..."
"Antiquity! I got it! My SCI paper! My SCI paper!!!"
"It's my SCI!"
The elderly archaeology professors stood still, muttering their most cherished thoughts, while the younger generation of archaeology master's and doctoral students were already fighting over "SCI" publications in the background.
Shu You: ? ? ?
What the hell?
They seem to have suddenly gone mad, or been poisoned? Then how come she's alright?
Our ancestors!
How many surprises are hidden in your tomb that I don't know about?
Netizens: !!!
What's going on? Why is President Shan Shu alright?
[Did they blatantly write, "Those who are not of the Shu clan will die if they enter?"]
[This must be a special poison designed to target the Shu family's DNA. For over nine hundred years, the Shu family has been ruled by women, which is why their mitochondrial DNA has been passed down to the present day, rendering this poison ineffective against them.]
[What?! They probably can't even produce that kind of poison now!]
[My goodness, Shu Jiao is truly the foremost expert in paleontology!]
Netizens were speechless with shock as they watched the members of the archaeological team who seemed to have lost their minds, and Shu You who remained unresponsive.
This is horrible.
Nine hundred years ago, a special poison was developed targeting a certain type of mitochondrial DNA.
what does this mean?
Nine hundred years ago, DNA research had already reached its peak!
How did it get lost?
Could it be that the lineage has truly been lost?
Not to mention them, even Shu You was a little numb. She could only quickly contact someone to come in and send this group of people out of the tomb for treatment.
After a long period of research, the hospital finally managed to detoxify the people, but at the cost of them all having to stay in the hospital for ten days to half a month. As the full moon passed, Shu Jiao's grave was slowly closing.
No choice.
Shu You had to do it herself.
After all, she didn't want to get pricked on her fingertip again.
Forget it.
“Ancestor, it’s not that I’m unfilial, but didn’t you tell me to open this? I just wanted to take a look. I promise, no one will disturb your presence, and no one will touch your things…”
Shu You mumbled something incoherently, burned three incense sticks in the ancestral hall, and knelt for half the night.
With a final turn, he entered the tomb.
