After driving a little further, the overall outline of the building could be seen through the moonlight. At this time, not only Su Yichen and Gudamai in the front row, but also Hu Zhijun and Wan Changchun behind him looked something was wrong. It was obvious that the building in front of them could not be the expected supply station, because the supply station of the oil exploration team was just a row of two-story simple houses, with soil-built surrounds in front of the houses, and this building was obviously much taller than the second-story simple house. It was rough and rough and rough. The roof was not flat, but pointed, and the appearance was similar to a lot of umbrellas. There was no soil-built in front of it, and there was a flat desert around it.

"What is this?" Su Yichen subconsciously stopped the car, and his head stretched out the window to look at the building ahead.

"Why do you look like a big tomb?" Wan Changchun frowned and said, "Not to say, if this building is reduced several times, it is indeed like a common tomb, but where would such a large tomb appear in such a place? This is possible unless it is an imperial tomb. Don't forget that the area they are in is in the desert area in the center of the Northwest. In ancient times, this place was a Western Region country, and its habits and customs are very different from that of the Central Plains.

Hu Zhijun had never seen such a building before. Now it is certain that this place is definitely not the supply station they are going to. But what is the strange building located alone in the desert? The three of them looked at each other and couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"Maybe this is a Qing Mosque?"

At this time, Gudamai, who had not spoken out, suddenly said a noun, and the three of them looked at him at the same time.

"You said this is a Qing Mosque?" Hu Zhijun asked, and Gudamai hesitated, "I just think it looks like, look, this round shape and this spire are not very similar to the roof of the Qing Mosque? Maybe it is an abandoned Qing Mosque."

"It's possible..." Wan Changchun thought about it and nodded, pointed to the building in front and gestured: "Not to say it, Xiao Guyi reminded me that it also looks like the roof of the Qing Dynasty Mosque. Look at the shape and size, it looks like it! It's so similar!"

"Just one roof? If this is the Qing * Mosque, what about the building below?" Su Yichen asked in confusion. Even if this is an abandoned Qing * Mosque, it is impossible that there is only an isolated roof that is preserved, right?

Hu Zhijun immediately laughed, and then even Wan Changchun and Gudamai laughed. Su Yichen didn't understand what was funny about the sentence he asked, and he didn't realize it until Wan Changchun explained it.

Su Yichen, who has been in the mainland since he was a child, was the first time he came to the northwest. He didn't know that the sand in the desert was actually flowing like water. Under the influence of the wind, the sand in the desert could easily gradually bury the buildings located there. Even when a sandstorm was encountered, the strong wind in just a few hours could completely erase the traces of an ordinary building, causing most of it to penetrate deep under the sand.

If this building is really an abandoned Qing* mosque, then after so many years, the main building under the roof should have been buried under sand, and the exposed part is what they see now.

However, inexplicably encountering such a building in the desert, everyone has a strong curiosity. Whether it is an abandoned Qing* mosque is just a guess. As a scholar, although Wan Changchun is not a history researcher, he still wants to go over and see what happened. Hu Zhijun thought about it and agreed to Wan Changchun's request. Anyway, the building is not far ahead, so it will be too late for everyone to go over and see it.

After getting off the car, the four of them walked to the building, a distance of hundreds of meters from the building. After a while, they arrived. When they arrived in front of the building, their speculation about the Qing Mosque was immediately overturned.

The reason is very simple. When they stood in front of the building, they found that the entire building was a complete whole, with no sign of piles on the surface, and it looked extremely smooth. If it was the roof of an abandoned Qing Dynasty mosque, it would definitely not be like this. You should know that the weathering in the desert is extremely serious. The mechanical damage caused by the rocks under the influence of wind, sand and day and night temperature inspection will cause the surface to be cut like a knife, which is commonly known as weathering rock. What will happen to rocks that have been through millions of years? What's more, artificial buildings, even if they use good building materials, they cannot escape the weathering and corrosion of nature.

"It's strange, what's this thing?" Wan Changchun couldn't help but reach out and touch the outer wall. When his hand touched the outer wall, an expression of extreme surprise appeared on his face.

"What's wrong with Teacher Wan?" Su Yichen saw that Wan Changchun's expression was a little strange, and asked quickly.

"Xiao Su, come and touch it."

Su Yichen raised his hand and touched it like Wan Changchun. The moment his palms touched the surface of the building, an expression of surprise also appeared on his face.

"This... this seems to be metal?" Su Yichen said in surprise. Just as his palm touched the surface of the building, a metal-like cold feeling came from the palm of his hand. Strangely, the surface that seemed very smooth had a subtle and uneven feeling when it felt, just like there was a texture on it, but when you looked closer, you couldn't find where these textures were.

What's even more strange is more than that. If the building's appearance is metal, it has reflection phenomena due to its metal properties. However, under the moonlight, the reflection of this building is not strong, but is weaker than ordinary rocks, showing a light grayish white color. This is why they mistakenly thought that this place was an abandoned roof of the Qing Dynasty mosque.

Seeing Wan Changchun and Su Yichen looking at each other, Hu Zhijun and Gudamai also stepped forward to touch each other, and were also curious. However, unlike Wan Changchun and Su Yichen, Hu Zhijun and others were just wondering why the surface was metal. After all, they were just ordinary People's Liberation Army soldiers, and they did not know the characteristics of metal deeply like Wan Changchun and others.

As he touched the appearance of the metal, Wan Changchun and Su Yichen looked increasingly severe. The feeling and characteristics of this metal were completely unexpected. As a professor in the School of Science, Wan Changchun was not ignorant of materials science, but on the contrary was quite researched. As for Su Yichen, of course, he also understood these things. It is precisely because of their understanding of materials science that he was curious about the strange appearance of this metal. According to their knowledge, it seems that no metal would have such characteristics. Is this an unknown alloy?

But if it is an alloy, then who made it? Who used it to cast the surface of such a huge building? It is even possible that this alloy is in the entire building inside and outside. What's more bizarre is that such a large alloy building appears in the desert that is uninhabited. What's the purpose of it? What is the significance of building it here?

These mystery flashed through their minds, but no one could answer them. But no matter what, the alloy building they accidentally discovered was definitely not simple, and there was no doubt about it. Because of the change in the situation, Wan Changchun told Hu Zhijun that he asked for a temporary study of the alloy building, at least to figure out what it is before setting off.

"I don't think it's necessary?" Hu Zhijun didn't understand Wan Changchun's request. He shook his head and said, "We have been delaying on the road for a long time. I suggest recording this location first, and contacting the base to send someone over after finding the supply station."

"No! I have to do a simple test first, at least take a sample first. In the desert, the appearance of this building is too strange, and I have never encountered this metal before, and I feel it is not simple." Wan Changchun shook his head and insisted on his opinion. As a scientist, it is absolutely impossible to let him ignore it when he encounters unknown things. However, Hu Zhijun's words also make sense. They don't have much oil, and Hu Zhijun's physical condition is not very good. He must arrive at the supply station contact base as soon as possible to ensure everyone's safety.

"Old Hu, Teacher Wan and I will not delay too much time. Let's do this. Give us half an hour, and then continue to set off in half an hour?" Su Yichen advised on the side. Hu Zhijun thought about it and finally let go and agreed to give Wan Changchun half an hour.

Half an hour is definitely not enough for in-depth research, but it is still fine to conduct preliminary investigation. Wan Changchun did not waste time, so he called Su Yichen and analyzed it around the alloy building.

They first circled around the entire building, and according to the gaps and steps of the pace, they roughly calculated that the diameter of the entire building was between 6.5 meters and 6.6 meters. Then, according to the comparative measurement method, based on Su Yichen's height, they calculated that its height was about 12 meters.

After doing this, Wan Changchun took off a bunch of keys hanging from his waist, with a folding knife on it. He opened the knife, walked towards the building, raised his hand and hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely carved it down.
