Chapter 262: Hot Record, Secret of the Golden Foil (8)

Dean Sun pointed at the big screen behind him. On it was the replicated 3D model.

As Dean Sun extracted the four blurry ancient words on the model, he said excitedly, “This golden foil is very ancient. It can even be traced back to ancient times.”

“Ancient times?”

“Yes, the so-called ancient times refers to the historical era before the Xia

Dynasty. In other words, it’s the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.”

Zhou Nanhai widened his eyes and asked excitedly, “In other words, this golden foil might also be an ancient cultural relic?”

Dean Sun nodded. “Don’t be anxious. We’ve deciphered the ancient words on the golden foil. This indeed took a lot of time. However, in the end, we discovered that this golden foil has the components of late processing. It’s estimated to have been processed a second time during the Warring States

Period. For example, the words engraved on it are the small seal script of the Warring States Period.”

Looking at the excited Zhou Nanhai, Professor Sun said word by word, “Do you know what the content of these four ancient words is after deciphering them?”

As he spoke, Professor Sun tapped a few times in front of the computer. Immediately after, the four ancient words were enlarged on the screen. On the other side, the deciphered matching words began to jump out.

“Chi… You… Golden… Bone?”

When they saw these words, be it Zhou Nanhai or Zhou Xiaoxiao, they were stunned on the spot.

“Chi You’s Golden Bone? It’s Chi You’s bone? Is that what it means?”

“That’s right. According to the small seal script, this golden foil is a bone of Chi

You!”

Professor Sun’s words were like a heavy hammer that struck Zhou Nanhai and Zhou Xiaoxiao’s minds, making their minds rumble. This golden foil was not made of any natural material, but Chi You’s bones? It even came from the ancient era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Then this golden foil should be called—Golden Bone!

With these keywords together, anyone would be stunned for a while. This was unbelievable, but even an authority like Professor Sun was so certain, so there was naturally nothing to doubt. Even the former owner, Su Yun, did not know that this golden foil was actually Chi You’s bone.

Fortunately, he had only polished the golden foil at the periphery at that time.

The truly valuable research happened to be in the center of the golden bone. The surroundings of the golden bone were meaningless for research. It was even to the extent that in order to facilitate research, some places had to be deeply polished and cut. Therefore, Su Yun did not commit the crime of destroying cultural relics.

If Su Yun found out, he would be overjoyed for another half a day. At this point, he could be considered to have completely escaped punishment and was innocent. After a long while, Zhou Nanhai recovered from his shock. He looked at the simulation on the computer and asked in surprise, “If the overseas research institute were to risk their lives to sell Chi You’s bones for cultural relics, they would definitely not go through so much trouble and would not be able to earn back their capital at all.”

As a police officer, compared to the value of the cultural relics themselves, Zhou Nanhai was more concerned about the nature of the case. He was puzzled. This was puzzling.

Regarding this, Dean Sun naturally could not help much. He shook his head gently. “I don’t know about that. Maybe foreigners like them have a hobby of collecting?”

“This… can’t be, right?”

“That’s hard to say. After all, this is Chi You’s bone. If it’s true, it’ll be impressive. It’s a major historical discovery and will be recorded in history. It might even continue known history! Of course, whether this bone was real or fake could not be determined by the words on it. Therefore, we still need to do further tests. At the moment, I’ve already contacted the biological research institute in our city.”

Just as Dean Sun finished speaking, the door of the research room was quickly pushed open from the outside. Then, an old man who was also nearly 60 years old rushed over with a hurried expression. “Old Sun! Impressive, very impressive!”

Hearing this, everyone’s attention was on this old man. When Dean Sun saw this, he quickly introduced Zhou Nanhai and the others. “This is Dean Feng from the Biological Research Institute. We’ve been friends for many years. Therefore, after discovering that this is Chi You’s bone, I immediately handed this project to Dean Feng to investigate and confirm the authenticity of the bone.” As he spoke, Dean Sun looked at Dean Feng. “Old Feng, what’s going

Dean Feng handed the document in his hand to Dean Sun excitedly. “Old Sun, this is an impressive discovery. At first, I did not believe that this was Chi You’s bone. However, after a detailed investigation, I made an unexpected discovery.”

Dean Sun took the documents in Dean Feng’s hand. The topmost document was a legend about Chi You. As for this legend, everyone knew about it. It folk saying passed down by word of mouth.

Legend has it that Chi You had a face like an ox, a pair of wings on the back of his hand, a copperhead, and an iron forehead. He had eight arms and nine toes. He had extraordinary abilities and was the leader of the Bull Totem and Bird Totem clans.

In folklore, Chi You had once become the strongest combat power in ancient times, suppressing the other two ancestors of China. If not for the defeat in the Battle of Zhulu, he would have probably become the first ancestor.

This was not only because Chi You had powerful combat strength, but also because he had thoughts that exceeded that era. However, Chi You had always been an existence that was half true and half false. Moreover, he was like the other three sovereigns and five emperors. He was an ancestor after the myth.

Therefore, it was only a legend.

After removing the document, it was the result of the investigation that made Dean Feng excited. Dean Sun only took a few glances before he looked shocked. A very critical noun is mentioned in this document:

[Genetic Password]

Dean Sun did not come back to his senses for a long time. When he looked up at Dean Feng in shock, his tone trembled. “Old Feng, how accurate is this document?”

Dean Feng still could not hide the excitement in his heart. “The two pieces of golden foil you handed to our laboratory are actually Chi You’s bones. According to the test, the age of the bones is completely compatible in terms of time. They are indeed human bones from the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

“But most importantly, after our tests, we discovered an even more shocking truth. This bone had experienced high-intensity radiation when it was alive, which led to its hardness after mutation. It even far exceeded most modern industrial materials.

“Logically speaking, human bones that have undergone high-intensity radiation should be soft. However, this Chi You’s Golden Bone was completely different. It was the other way around! For this reason, we extracted a small number of genes for research and discovered a terrifying fact.

“Mutation! Chi You’s bones had undergone an unknown and special genetic mutation. This mutation would greatly increase the strength and speed of the main body. Just the bones were incomparably hard, let alone a living human body.

“I simply did not dare to imagine how powerful the power brought about by this genetic mutation was! Perhaps this was also why in the legends of the ancient era, Chi You had the strength that the other two tribes could not resist.

“It was also why in ancient legends, Chi You was synonymous with the power of the ancestors of China. It was very likely that his body was indeed different. Because he had been exposed to high-intensity radiation and successfully survived, causing an unknown genetic mutation in his body, which made him exceptionally different!”

At this point, Dean Feng paused and shook his head. “Unfortunately, this bone is only a fibula on the outside of the calf. Moreover, it has been processed many times during the Warring States Period. It’s more severely damaged and doesn’t have much research value.

“However, if we could use this to find Chi You’s tomb and excavate all his bones, could you imagine how great a change this would bring?

“Not only will China’s history be rewritten, but it’s also possible that genetic research in the world will undergo a drastic change because of this!”
