Chapter 129: You're Poor Like This, You're Still Digging Hair!
"It's all crazy about money, and you are really so short of money when you cooperate with Japan-myself in field archaeology!"
Zhang Nan drove the car and scolded there, not only because of the desolate environment, but also because he thought that the first national treasure of China was discovered by the Sino-Japanese joint expedition team not long after, and he was unhappy in his stomach!
Zhang Nan thought of an agreement on the inspection of Niya next year, and the provisions in it made him really want to scold his mother: the cost of the investigation will be borne by the Japanese side, all the cultural relics of the investigation and excavation will belong to the Chinese side, and the information obtained will be shared between China and Japan, and the Japanese side will also provide a certain amount of cultural relics conservation fees after the inspection.

You're so poor, so you still dig a hair!
As soon as Guan Xingquan asked about the situation, Zhang Nan slightly adapted the Sino-Japanese joint archaeological team not long ago and told him about it, and now Brother Guan is explosive!
"If you crash, give it all..."
Make a clicking motion!
"Forget it, in 1911, there were people who came to the meeting, and it was definitely not good. But although I don't know what these little devils think, the little devil who took the lead looks pretty good, don't worry about it.
But it's all digging graves, it's better to come to Lao Tzu, at least we are the real descendants of Yan and Huang and the people of China!"
Zhang Nan didn't want to say much about the history of Niya's archaeology, anyway, he was extremely disgusted with that kind of archaeological method!
The ancient city of Niya was first discovered in 1901 by the so-called archaeologist, art historian, linguist, geographer and explorer of Marc Olel Stein, who was actually an antiquities robber, who later robbed the ancient city of Niya again in 1906!
Stein robbed a total of 53 ruins on two occasions and excavated 721 pieces of Luwen wooden tablets, several pieces of Chinese wooden tablets and wooden tablets, as well as weapons, musical instruments, woolen fabrics, silk fabrics, furniture, building pieces, handicrafts, and grain crops such as millet and millet.
At the same time, Stein also surveyed and mapped the site of Niya, and the results of his expedition caused a sensation around the world when they were announced.
The news spread, following Stein, in 1905 the American Henyanton, in 1911 the Japanese Ju Ruichao and other international robbers visited Niya to plunder.
This Stein, in particular, came twice more in 1913 and 1931!
After the liberation, the Xijiang Museum and other units also organized professional teams to carry out many investigations and rescue cleanups of the Niya site.
The 1959 excavation of the Eastern Han Dynasty husband and wife tomb is one of the major archaeological discoveries in Western Xinjiang, the tomb unearthed two dried corpses and a number of precious cultural relics, among which the blue background dyed cotton cloth fragments and cotton trousers, is considered to be the earliest cotton fabric seen in China so far.
In the following year, the Western Xinjiang Cultural Department and relevant academic groups in Japan will carry out a joint survey of the Sino-Japanese ruins in a planned manner.
In the early part of the 20th century, I saw foreign bandits wreaking havoc, and in the later period, I saw those joint archaeological teams in China, but I didn't see any Chinese joint archaeological teams in foreign countries -- you have the ability to go out and dig up the things of other people's ancestors!
It doesn't matter if you don't get it back, let's dig it out first!
Boost your ambitions!
You can also thoroughly investigate the geography, natural conditions, and human history of your mountains and rivers! Not only now, but also thousands of years ago!
Not only Zhang Nan understands this truth, but Guan Xingquan also understands that he is a soldier.
"Anan, how about we do the same in foreign countries in two years?"
"Don't worry, you're indispensable. In less than two years, when you get that Yankee's green card and go abroad, we may have to go to the UK, I found a stake there, and I want to do a big job!"
Stake, although Guan Xingquan doesn't understand the specific meaning of this word, it is estimated that it should be a certain point, a treasure place, and a precious ancient tomb.
I didn't ask much, just go abroad to dig up those gringos and bring him with them.
……
According to the guidance of the military map, the jeep drove through the Gobi Desert, which was completely devoid of roads.
Guan Xingquan was still fiddling with a sextant in his hand, and said to Zhang Nan: "I think it's almost there, your car can drive okay, but it won't drive crookedly, right?"
As he spoke, he took out his compass and looked at it.
"You used a sextant just now, you can't be wrong, it should be almost there. ”
Zhang Nan had driven in the desert, so he knew some driving tricks and generally wouldn't trap himself.
And Guan Xingquan is really well prepared, and even brought a sextant: in the years when GPS was not yet introduced, there was a military map in hand, plus a sextant and a compass, Guan Xingquan could know his general location.
"Brother Guan, do you know GPS?"
"The Yankees' new style of play is still in the experimental stage, but I have only heard of it, but I have never seen it, and they cover this game to death, only in the army, and they have done a very good job of secrecy!"
"If only we could buy a civilian one, then let's get one too. ”
After listening to Zhang Nan's words, Guan Xingquan was a little disapproving: "I heard that although that thing is convenient, its reliability is really not good, and it is too big to carry." It would be miserable if something went wrong in a place like this! I still trust the map, the compass, and the sextant, and although they are not very accurate, they are reliable. ”
Guan Xingquan is also reasonable, now the GPS is not perfect, there is no place to buy it, and the volume is large, not as small as it was more than 20 years later. Even if you can get a military test product, if it is in a desert such a no-man's land, once the receiver fails, and there is no compass at hand, and there is no field positioning ability, it will be dead!
The two chatted and chatted, and in the distance, on a barren slope, a lone abandoned stone tower appeared in view.
"It's here. ”
Except for desolation, there was dead silence all around! Driving the car to the half-collapsed stone tower, Zhang Nan and the two got out of the car after parking the car in the shade.
In the wild, everyone carries a small backpack with the most basic water, food and a compass.
God knows what to expect in a place like this, and maybe a sudden sandstorm will make it impossible for you to find a jeep close by!
Guan Xingquan had a telescope around his neck and a sapper shovel in his hand, while Zhang Nan carried a bullet belt on his shoulder and a shotgun.
As soon as I got out of the car, I felt that something was wrong.
"Brother Guan, give me the sapper shovel and binoculars, and you take the shotgun. ”
That's the problem: I am the tomb robber, Guan Xingquan is the bodyguard, and the painting style is obviously wrong just now!
The two climbed the slope where the stone tower was located, looked around with binoculars, and made sure that there was absolutely no one nearby. Except for himself, he can't even see a living thing, and of course it's hard to say if there are ghosts.
I saw a lot of remnants of buildings exposed to the ground, trees that have not rotted for thousands of years, timber and earthen walls of remnant houses... All that remains is the vicissitudes of the desert Gobi.
Zhang Nan also roughly determined the approximate location of various places in this large area, and also took out a thick white paper from his pocket and began to carefully compare it. (To be continued.) )
