Chapter 10 Mysterious Stone Tablet
Chapter 10 Mysterious Stone Tablet
Don't forget that humanity embarked on the path of civilization under just a few conditions.
The conditions for the evolution of dinosaurs on this planet today are almost all met, so it's not impossible for dinosaur-humans to evolve from them.
Su Yang only hopes that the dinosaurs of this world have only just taken their first step toward higher intelligence.
In this way, the difficulty level for the Great Xia to develop this planet would not be too high.
But if the dinosaurs on this planet have evolved into dinosaur-men, then that might not be good news for Great Xia.
Which civilization would want other outsiders to develop its home planet?
"What is that?"
While Su Yang was still pondering, Han Bei's voice came, and he looked closely.
On the drone footage, a small stone that occasionally gleams with a metallic sheen suddenly comes into view on a flat piece of ground.
"Hematite? No, that's not right."
Several possible minerals flashed through Su Yang's mind, but none of them quite matched.
"Let's go take a look."
Su Yang felt a sense of anticipation rising within him.
This was the first mineral they had discovered since arriving on this planet.
I don't even know if that mineral exists on Earth.
Since the physical structure of the dinosaurs in this world is so different from that on Earth, the minerals on this planet may also be something that Earth has never had.
Perhaps that mineral will be the key to a breakthrough in some scientific research.
We arrived at the location shown on the drone's screen.
Almost exactly, Su Yang and the others saw the mineral buried underground, but which happened to have a corner exposed, shimmering with metallic light.
"Quick, lend a hand!"
The geologist accompanying them couldn't hide his excitement when he saw the ore gleaming with iridescent metallic light in the sunlight.
Currently, no minerals of this type have been found on Earth.
It is very likely an unknown mineral unique to this planet.
Taking out their military shovels, the researchers began excavating the mineral.
Not long after.
A fist-sized, rhomboid-shaped, metallic-looking unknown mineral came into view.
Chen Qing, the accompanying geological expert, took out a detector and began to check whether the minerals were radioactive.
However, the conclusion drawn was that there were no radiation values.
"It seems there really isn't such a thing on Earth."
Chen Qing spoke with some surprise.
Looking at the vibrant colors, who would have thought that there is absolutely no radiation?
Thinking this, Chen Qing reached out and picked up the fist-sized piece of mineral.
But as soon as he grasped the mineral and tried to pick it up, it wouldn't budge.
"what?"
Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, then frowned and stretched out his other hand.
They had to use both hands to pull the mineral up from the ground.
Looking at the fist-sized ore in his hand, which weighed a full eight or nine kilograms.
Chen Qing was completely dazed.
"Dr. Su, the density of this thing seems a bit off."
Chen Qing looked at Su Yang, handed him the ore, and reminded him to be careful.
Upon receiving the ore, Su Yang suddenly felt an unexpected weight in his hand.
If Chen Qing hadn't reminded him beforehand, Su Yang really wouldn't have cared.
"Such a high ore density is comparable to only a few types of ores on Earth."
Su Yang's expression turned slightly furious.
"Let's explore the surrounding area first and see if there are any other ores."
After receiving the instructions, the group immediately began preliminary exploration at the site where the minerals were discovered.
After searching for half an hour, apart from the mineral they found at the beginning, they found no trace of any other minerals.
"It's not a mineral cluster."
Su Yang pondered for a moment, and it seemed that this thing was not formed on a large scale.
Or perhaps, it's something from outer space?
"This thing looks unremarkable, but it's surprisingly heavy."
Guo Yong was holding the ore in one hand, clearly not expecting this.
No wonder Su Yang and the others were so surprised.
Without much surprise, Guo Yong put the ore away and then looked at Han Bei.
Have you seen this kind of ore before?
"without."
Han Bei shook his head.
Although he had been here before, this was the first time he had ever seen this type of ore.
"Speaking of which..."
Just as Han Bei was about to speak, he was enveloped by a shadow.
Looking up, they saw several pterosaurs circling overhead.
"Everyone, on alert!"
Guo Yong shouted.
The others raised their guns, ready to fire without hesitation if the pterosaurs above showed any intention to attack.
Fortunately, the pterosaur only circled in the sky a few times before screeching and flying away.
"Something feels off..."
Watching the pterosaur's departing figure, Han Bei felt a strange, inexplicable feeling in his heart.
"Pterodactyl, but the size difference is quite large."
Su Yang frowned. The pterosaur that had been circling in the air was much larger than those on Earth.
In addition to the existing Tuojiang dragon skeleton.
Su Yang couldn't help but suspect that the dinosaurs in this world were much larger than those on Earth.
That's at least what he knows for now.
"Dr. Su, we've found some stone tablets here that look like they have inscriptions on them."
A voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Upon hearing this, the people around Su Yang were stunned for a moment, and an uneasy feeling inexplicably welled up in their hearts.
"Walk."
Su Yang's voice was low and his steps were quick. For the first time, a hint of anxiety appeared on his previously calm face.
After walking briskly for about ten minutes, Su Yang and the others arrived at the place where the stone tablet was found.
Where is the stone tablet?
Su Yang asked in a deep voice.
"Dr. Su, over here."
Yang Bowen waved his hand, pointed to the stone tablet that was mostly buried in the ground, and said.
"This is it."
Su Yang walked closer and saw that it was indeed engraved with some unknown runes.
"So they evolved into an intelligent civilization?"
Su Yang's heart sank. The difficulty of developing this planet on a large scale had increased exponentially.
"Dig it out."
Su Yang gestured to Yang Bowen.
"no problem."
Yang Bowen nodded. Since Su Yang had said so, he had nothing to worry about anymore.
He immediately led his men to start digging.
Within minutes, a stone tablet, half a meter wide and one meter long, lay quietly on the ground.
Brush away the dirt from the stone tablet, and the clear characters immediately become visible.
"Can you understand it?"
Han Bei leaned closer, somewhat curious.
However, given his skill level, it's not much different from reading gibberish.
"This planet must have already given rise to civilization."
Su Yang stared at the stone tablet and spoke.
"I just don't know what level of civilization they've reached."
After saying that, Su Yang took the equipment he carried with him and began to record the text on the stone tablet.
Regardless of anything else, taking it back might help us crack the code.
What this planet is currently presenting to them is already beyond their imagination.
A dinosaur with unusual physical strength and size, an unknown mineral, and even an unknown stone tablet that was just discovered.
They all tell the story of how extraordinary this planet is.
