Mythological Revival Begins with Sanxingdui

Meanwhile, in the highest capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, a group of bigwigs looked at the latest data online with strange expressions.

"When did our family develop a pulse weapon?"

"I don't know!"

"Did you organize the events involving Professor Qian and Professor Zhang?"

All eyes turned to these two industry leaders.

"How is that possible? These are just theories. It would take hundreds of years to actually achieve them. And that last section about a human body swimming at a depth of 2,000 meters—isn't that nonsense?"

Old Qian shook his head with a wry smile.

If the previous sections were merely theories, then the last section is pure fantasy.

How could such a thing be possible?

However, other countries don't think that way, after all, the sixth son of the Great Xia is known for his fondness for hiding things.

The internet is in an uproar.

Many people started complaining.

There is an old saying in the Great Xia Dynasty: "Wealth should not be flaunted." This means that you should keep your good things to yourself and not tell others.

"That's right! That's right! Just like how they all know kung fu, but they won't admit it."

"There was a guy from Daxia at our school who usually looked weak and frail. One day I got into a fight with him, and he knocked me down with one punch. He even helped me up and asked if I was alright."

"Hearing you say that reminds me of the Indian plane incident, and I feel it even more deeply now."

Who could imagine that a small airplane with a plastic sheet on its head would be dubbed a "printer" after crossing national borders?

In short, they don't believe anything the official Xia government says, but they take careful notes of everything others say.

Let alone swimming two thousand meters underwater, even if you said you could physically traverse the void, they would have to think twice about whether the Great Xia had developed some kind of super gene warrior.

While the internet was buzzing with discussions about the hidden technology of the Great Xia Dynasty...

Our instigator, Jiang Ran, had already started the second round of the plan with his team.

"Based on our investigation, we have identified three locations where ancient ruins may be found."

Technician Sun Ming opened the map and marked three locations on it.

"Fuxian Lake, Ailao Mountain, Shennongjia."

These three places can be described as forbidden zones for life, and there have been many news reports of people going missing in these three places.

"Fuxian Lake and Ailao Mountain are both in Yunnan, and they're not too far from here, so let's go there first."

Jiang Ran glanced at the locations of Fuxian Lake and Ailao Mountain, and finally decided to go to these two places first.

Chengjiang County, YX City.

"So beautiful."

When everyone arrived at Fuxian Lake by car, they were immediately captivated by the scenery before them.

Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and clear waters.

Just standing there gives you an indescribable sense of tranquility.

This group of people are busy with archaeology all day long, and they spend most of their time in the dark underground. It has been a long time since they have been basking in the sunlight like this.

"Sun Ming, you guys go around and ask the locals about the folk customs and legends. Xiao Qiu and Xiao Jiang, go into the water and take a look."

Gu Changsong had been here before, but back then it was a poor and remote place. Although the scenery was beautiful, it was deserted.

I never imagined that this place would change so much in just over a decade.

Qiu Yaqin's optimized genes gave her the ability to control water, allowing her to move freely even in waters thousands of meters deep.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for her to follow Jiang Ran.

After the tasks were assigned, the group quickly began to take action.

"Jiang Ran, what abilities did you gain after your gene optimization? Why do you seem weaker than us?"

As she prepared to go into the water, Qiu Yaqin asked the question that had been bothering her.

Some of these people can control water, some can control soil, and some can withstand extremely high temperatures.

Jiang Ran is the only one with the most perfect genetic optimization and the highest level of authority.

He doesn't possess any special abilities.

"You were modified by the Deer-Shu according to the optimal evolutionary path, which is why you possess special genetic abilities. My genetic template is different from yours; I am still within the category of normal humans. Unless the genetic lock is unlocked, I will be just an ordinary person."

Jiang Ran explained with a smile.

Under Gu Changsong's leadership, their team was basically like a family, with no unpleasant infighting or anything that couldn't be said.

Jiang Ran wasn't afraid of them laughing at or looking down on her.

"It's okay. Lu Shu said that as long as the gene lock is unlocked, the potential of human genes is limitless. You will definitely be able to be like us then."

Qiu Yaqin was worried that he had some unresolved issues, so she comforted him.

"I'm fine. Even if I don't have any special abilities, I still have Sister Qin and the others, right? I can just stick with them."

Jiang Ran chuckled.

Since joining the archaeological team, Qiu Yaqin has taken care of him like an older sister. Although they are not related by blood, their relationship is no less than that of siblings.

"You little rascal!"

Qiu Yaqin laughed and scolded, then reached out and took Jiang Ran's hand, stepping into the water.

After diving into the water, a layer of air quickly appeared on Qiu Yaqin's body, enveloping her and Jiang Ran.

This air film not only provides them with oxygen, but also protects them from the effects of debris in the water.

The two of them descended little by little and soon reached the edge of the cliff.

Fuxian Lake is a very special place; it is a type of body of water with cliffs.

The water ahead may only be one or two meters deep, but the drop can suddenly become tens or even hundreds of meters.

Moreover, the currents below are turbulent, and a slight misstep could result in being sucked in. The huge pressure drop in a short period of time could cause even professional divers to capsize here.

Jiang Ran and his group encountered this situation.

Less than five minutes after they entered the water, a terrifying suction force came from underwater, pulling the two of them down continuously.

Fortunately, Qiu Yaqin is fortunate; her genes contain water-related abilities, allowing her to easily adapt to this environment.

But Jiang Ran is in a terrible situation.

While the air film can isolate impurities in the water, it cannot withstand water pressure.

The sudden water pressure ruptured the capillaries on his skin, causing blood to seep from his entire body, making him look extremely miserable.

Upon seeing this, Qiu Yaqin was horrified and quickly swam back with him.

However, the next second, the blood on Jiang Ran's body surface disappeared, and even the ruptured blood vessels returned to normal.

Jiang Ran, who had almost died from the water pressure, adapted to the environment in just a few breaths.

"Are you alright? Shall we go upstairs first?"

Qiu Yaqin asked with concern.

"It's okay, the water pressure difference was a bit big just now, it's much better now."

Jiang Ran let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a sense of unprecedented ease in her body.

It seemed as if some kind of transformation had taken place.

"Are you really alright?"

Qiu Yaqin was still a little worried.

"It's really nothing, you'll see."

To prove himself, Jiang Ran immediately released Qiu Yaqin's hand.

"Be careful!"

Upon seeing this, Qiu Yaqin turned pale with fright.

After all, they were hundreds of meters underwater. Without her air membrane to protect them, Jiang Ran would soon suffocate from the water pressure.

However, to her surprise, after Jiang Ran was removed from the air membrane, he not only did not feel any discomfort, but also swam around her freely like a fish.
