This action immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the hikers.
Based on the locations where the two inscriptions were unearthed, they carried out excavations in the corresponding areas of other South Pacific islands.
As a result, they actually dug up a few pieces in Jiaozhi, Borneo, Daguan and Zhenla.
The discovery of these inscriptions left the world with no more hope.
The evidence was stark before them.
Even though they were unwilling to admit it in their hearts, they had to admit the authenticity of these inscriptions.

Li Haoze, who was causing all this controversy, had already carefully memorized the structural diagram of the Mingda Plow and traveled back to the Tang Dynasty again.
Just erecting a few inscriptions can have such a profound impact on future generations.
What if he invented the steam engine?
