Chapter 8



The UV lamp in the evidence room was buzzing, and Su Chen was using a nano brush to clean the dust in the ear canal of the gilded Buddha. Suddenly, Qin Feng pulled off the thread of his turtleneck sweater - the fiber revealed the metal circuit of the GPS chip under a 200x microscope.

"This... is graphene technology from the wartime period!" Su Chen called up the declassified files of the Manhattan Project, "In 1943, in the Princeton Laboratory..." He suddenly paused. The Brahma marks inside the Buddha's ear were reconstructed into longitude and latitude coordinates under the laser scanning, pointing directly to the remains of a Ming Dynasty shipwreck in the Nansha Islands.

Tang 꿦 kicked open the filing cabinet and shook off the fish scales all over his body: "This master observed the celestial phenomena at night. Today, Xun Palace is in trouble with water evil..." Before he finished speaking, the sound of heavy rain hitting the bulletproof glass suddenly became regular - the rhythm of the Morse code was deciphered into "19460716".

Qin Feng suddenly stuttered as he pulled up the meteorological satellite map: "The eye of the typhoon... the path of the eye and the time when the 'Hai'an' sank..." The tablet screen suddenly went black, reflecting the countdown of the system in Su Chen's iris - [24:00:00].

When the three rushed into the dock in the rain, Tang 꿦's compass was attached to the rusty anchor chain. Qin Feng used liquid nitrogen to freeze the rain in some places, and the ice crystals revealed the Nazi eagle emblem under the searchlight. "This is the mooring anchor of the U-boat!" Su Chen scraped off the rust, and the X-ray diffractometer showed that the alloy composition was exactly the same as that of the Polo cane.

In the images sent back by the deep-sea detector, there were thirty gilded Buddhas lying on the deck of the sunken ship. Tang 꿦 chewed on dried squid and commented: "Look at this seven-star array, it's more elaborate than my 괗 great-uncle's fish pond!"

Su Chen suddenly pulled over the sonic atlas: "The Buddha statues are arranged to form a radio telescope array!" As the frequency of the sound waves soared, the system's measurement tank suddenly turned from countdown to positive count - [The space-time coordinates have been anchored].

Qin Feng stuttered in the shaking cabin: "Gold-plated... gold-plated quantum computer..." He dropped the tablet that showed the three-dimensional lattice structure inside the Buddha's head. Each primitive node stored the memory of the crime in 1946.

When the frogmen picked up the last Buddha statue, blood suddenly seeped from Tang's back tattoo. DNA comparison showed that his mitochondrial genes had a 0.3% deviation from the copy on the "Hai'an" - the same level of accumulated variation as seventy-six years of radiation.

Jewel 꺶 Heng laughed behind the iron window: "You think you won?" He tore open his prison uniform, and the star pattern on his mouth was flashing in sync with the Su Chen system interface. The alarm in the Bangkok police station suddenly sounded, and all the gilded Buddhas in the evidence room vaporized at the same time on a rainy night, leaving only a message on the floor made of nano-gold particles:

"The first curtain opens"

The images sent back by the deep-sea detector shook violently, and thirty gilded Buddhas formed the Big Dipper on the deck of the sunken ship. The Tang Dynasty compass suddenly attracted the control console: "The Qian Palace has shifted, this is the pilot array in the "Sea Path Needle Classic"!" Su Chen retrieved the acoustic data and found that the base of the Buddha statue extended an underwater optical cable directly to a military communication station of a certain country.

"No, Dong is smuggling..." Qin Feng stuttered as he pulled up the satellite map, "No...No signal relay!" His tablet showed that the gold-plated layer contained graphene, and was converting the submarine's acoustic data into electromagnetic wave emission. Tang 꿦 suddenly tore off his diving suit, and the tattoo on his back was bleeding due to seawater immersion, and the star map and the array of Buddha statues completely overlapped.

The moment Su Chen used the hydraulic clamp to cut the optical cable, the system volume surged. The countdown turned positive and the truth was displayed on the control screen - this was the countdown to restart the military communication network laid in 1946. The crazy laughter from the interrogation room of Jewel 꺶 Hyung came through the encrypted channel: "It's been 76 years, it's time for the Cold War code to see the sun!"

In the underground bunker of the Bangkok military base, Tang Wo knocked on the concrete wall with a Luoyang shovel: "Three inches from the Xun position, there must be a secret door!" Qin Feng's thermal imaging device showed that there was a server unit in the space behind the wall, and the humidity data was exactly the same as that of the cold storage. Su Chen scraped off the wall dust, and the nano-scale gold particles matched the gilded Buddha coating in the mass spectrometer.

When the secret door was broken, seventy-six old telegraph machines were printing automatically. Qin Feng tore off the paper tape and stuttered: "This... this is a Turing machine..." He suddenly got stuck, and the holes in the paper tape formed a Zhenghe nautical chart. Tang 꿦 threw out the Five Emperors Coin and stuck it on the gear. The year of the copper coin just corresponded to the production batch of the telegraph machine.

"Get out of the way!" Su Chen inserted the Poirot pocket watch into the console, and the dial hexagrams were reorganized into Morse code. The server unit was overloaded and smoke was emitted, and the truth of 1946 rolled out on the screen - the gilded Buddha was actually a false station set up by the Allies, and the jewelry 꺶 Hengzu 꿵 stole the equipment and tried to rebuild the monitoring network.

During the rooftop battle, Tang's tattoo was bleeding due to exposure to the sun. Qin Feng used a DNA rapid tester to find that his mitochondrial genes were 82% similar to the replica of "Hai'an". "It turns out that I am the descendant of the scapegoat..." Tang's gold teeth crushed the signal transmitter, and the parts that fell in the rainstorm were engraved with "HP" - "Harbor Protection".

As the police rushed in, Su Chen pulled out the last hard drive from the main server. A holographic projection of Poirot's will appeared: "The truth is like gold, dazzling but easily obscured by dust." The pocket watch in his hand suddenly disintegrated, and the gears formed a map of Bangkok - 30 red dots were inactivated Cold War monitoring stations.

At the closing report meeting, Qin Feng fluently stated for the first time: "The so-called time and space coordinates... are actually..." He suddenly got stuck, and Su Chen said: "The GPS calibration points of the array were arranged during the Cold War." Tang Xiao threw out a folding fan, and the ink on the fan became visible when it was exposed to heat - the real gilded Buddha had long been melted into gold bars, and was now lying in the reserve of a certain country's central bank.

When the closing report meeting was over, the system's metering slot was permanently frozen. Su Chen took out the crystal from the inner bag, and the cracks were filled with gold powder - that Tang 꿦 secretly stuffed in the gilded Buddha debris. The rainstorm washed the night sky of Bangkok, and the Big Dipper was hanging on the dome of the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
