Chapter 10 Departure

That afternoon, Professor Wu asked me to meet him at his apartment again.

When I rushed over, Uncle Long and Lin Qian had arrived, and three others came. Professor Wu said that these were all the helpers invited.

I saw that among the three people, except for one of the four-eyed boys wearing glasses, the other two were not good at first sight.

Professor Wu introduced to me that Siyan is a graduate student in the Department of Exploration of the University of Geosciences and serves as the geographical guide for our operation.

Another nickname with a little thin appearance is Dajun. He came with Uncle Long. He used to be in the underworld in Hankou, but now he specializes in shipping for Uncle Long, which can help us solve a lot of trouble.

At the same time, this operation also requires a person who is proficient in various mechanisms and equipment. Uncle Long found a friend of his.

This person looks about the same age as me, but Uncle Long said that he had been in prison three times and had fought back and forth before. He was very good at finding a tomb and digging holes, and cracking mechanisms is also no problem.

It is said that there was once a southern dragon and the Northern Tiger in the tomb robbery business. The southern dragon refers to Zhou Mazi, and the Northern Tiger refers to him - Zhao Jinhu. People in the world are too lazy to call his full name, so they call him Jinhu directly.

Looking at his figure, he is almost exactly the same as Sammo Hung in Hong Kong films back then. It is hard to imagine how he moved freely in the narrow space of the cemetery.

Then Professor Wu told everyone about his plan, and finally arranged for Jin Hu and I to handle the equipment together, and ask Uncle Long to get the funds, and set off tomorrow when it is ready.

I heard this wasn't a joke. Not to mention whether the equipment can be completed in half a day, I'm afraid it's too late to even buy a train ticket if I set out tomorrow.

Perhaps he felt that it seemed a bit hasty, so he explained: "It's really a bit nervous about the time arrangement, but there is no way. There are so many dreams in the night. If the news is leaked, it will cause us a lot of unnecessary trouble, so everyone should hurry up and prepare."

Unfortunately, Jinhu and I had to take a list that Professor Wu had already prepared and rushed to Hanzheng Street to purchase equipment. There was a wholesale market there, and almost all kinds of equipment were available.

It was not until the street lights were illuminated throughout Hanzheng Street that we finally made everything ready. In addition to sunscreen clothes, camping tents and other daily necessities, we also bought professional equipment such as high-pressure diving gas cylinders, multi-spectral scanners, and small drones.

Jin Hu got a few engineer shovels and hunting knives from a friend on the road. Under his scrupulous and hard work, the buddy actually got two shotguns from someone else's hands.

When I saw the thing, I was shocked and told Jinhu that we were not going to war, why should we prepare this thing, and even if we bought it, how should we bring it with us.

Jin Hu said that he had his own way to take this. Job hunting for tombs is not a child's house. He may encounter all kinds of evil things, and he can have a gun to defend himself.

Because time is tight, I can't say anything more, so I hired a small truck to pull all the equipment up and send it to the train station for shipping.

It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening after all this. Jinhu and I had some food and we parted.

The next day, I packed my things early and went to Professor Wu's house. When I entered the door, I saw Xiaoqian was busy packing my luggage. At first, I thought she was preparing for Professor Wu, but she told me word by word that she would go too!

I told her, "What are you going to join in the fun of every family? You are not afraid of being dragged to be your wife by the big zombies in the tomb?"

Xiaoqian blinked and happily said that she was going on a trip, and Professor Wu also needed someone to take care of her.

I thought to myself that this little girl went to film, although it was a big burden, but there was someone who could tease her along the way, which was not bad.

Soon after, everyone was all together. In addition to Xiaoqian joining, Uncle Long also brought his bodyguard Awei, and the group embarked on the train heading south.

In the middle, Jinhu and I organized a card game, and everyone was having a lot of fun playing cards.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Quanzhou. I thought no one would join, but after the train arrived, I saw a familiar face holding a sign waiting for us.

After closer inspection, it turned out to be Han Sen, the camping supplies store owner who provided us with information, and a new face was still next to him.

Professor Wu introduced the name of the innocent face, Qin Xuanling. I thought about it carefully, wasn’t it the name of the photo that Han Sen put in the information he gave me?

Looking at the back of his neck, there was indeed a square tattoo, and there was a small gourd hanging on his waist, and he stood there seriously.

I asked Professor Wu why the two of them joined in. Professor Wu replied that Han Sen is an outdoor master with rich experience in adventure and can help us open the way.

As for the Longmen Taoist Qin Xuanling, he is almost the same as the Maoshan Taoist priest. His abilities are not ordinary, but he is a person who can't even invite even if he spends money.

When I heard that the situation was really big, it seemed that Professor Wu had made sufficient preparations for everything we were going to face next, and he was just waiting for the start of construction.

The next day, we arrived at the port and hired a civilian boat. In order to cover up, we pretended to be tourists coming to visit.

The shipowner was a little suspicious when he saw that we had brought so much equipment and kept inquiring about our reality.

Uncle Long took out a handful of cash from his bag and didn't even look at it, so he directly asked the bodyguard to use it as a tip for the shipowner. The shipowner was so happy that he stopped asking around and ran over to ask if we needed any help.

Professor Wu and Siyan compared the map and data for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how to find the island with the tomb of Xu Fu's disciples on the information.

When he heard that the shipowner was a local, Professor Wu asked him if he knew of an ancient tomb on which nearby island was there.

When the shipowner heard it, he shook his head like a rattle and swore that he had been running on this sea for decades and had never heard of an ancient tomb on any nearby island.

Then Professor Wu asked if there was a place like Luoyan Island. However, the ship owner still said he didn't know. He told us that there are dozens of islands of all sizes near Quanzhou Port. Even those who have been living on the sea for many years may not all know the names of these islands.

Later, Professor Wu told us privately that according to the records he saw in an ancient book, a group of Qin Dynasty survivors came near Quanzhou during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han. In order to avoid the pursuit of officers and soldiers, they hid in a place called Luoyan Island.

The description of Luoyan Island in the ancient book is very similar to the island mentioned in the information, so Professor Wu believes that this Luoyan Island is mostly the place we are looking for.

Siyan analyzed from his professional perspective that since this place is called Rock Island, it is mostly characterized by more rock structure than sand and stone, because traditional geographical naming habits are marked according to geological structure.

However, there are many surrounding islands and many with rock structures. It seems difficult to accurately find the location of Rock Island.

I suddenly thought of bringing a small drone and multi-spectral scanner when I came, and my eyes suddenly lit up. Isn’t this the time for them to come in handy?

Multispectral scanners are generally installed on aircraft. The scanner's scanning mirror rotates to move the received instantaneous field of view perpendicular to the flight direction, thereby achieving two-dimensional scanning.

Once the geological scene images are scanned point by point, multi-spectral remote sensing image information can be obtained through band measurements.

Therefore, as long as these two sets of equipment are used, the geological survey of all nearby islands can be quickly completed. At that time, we can judge based on navigation charts and information to find the most likely target.

After hearing my opinion, Siyan thought it was feasible, so she took out the equipment and started debugging it.

I followed the instructions in the instructions to let the drone circle around the port, and the effect was very good. Then Siyan took over the drone and started to do a full-scale scan. In less than half an hour, all the islands with the landforms around were picked up one by one.

The shipowner was stunned by the side and said to me with a blank look: "What are you doing? Do you have such things?"
