Chapter 285: Wasteland Frozen Land
The first work to determine field archaeology is site surveying and mapping, and since it is site mapping, it is natural to find or determine the location of the site first. In traditional archaeology, this step will be a very tedious work, requiring a little careful exploration and excavation.
The problem of site surveying and mapping is not a big problem in the Central Plains of China, and it only takes a little time and patience, but when it comes to Daqingshan, it has become the biggest problem - frozen soil and rocks have become the biggest obstacle to the archaeological team.
Due to the special geographical environment, almost all traditional methods failed, and the archaeological team, which could not try to excavate a large area, almost fell into a dead end at the beginning. Fortunately, Wei Xiu is not a professional archaeologist, although he has memorized a large number of archaeological materials in his mind for a short time, but these materials do not make him form a mindset, so an archaeological case that almost caused a sensation in the whole country appeared.
……
At the end of 2016, CCTV announced that it would broadcast a large-scale archaeological live broadcast on the seventh set of CCTV TV programs on the tenth day of the new year!
To be honest, with the mushrooming of archaeological live broadcasts in the past two years, CCTV's announcement this time did not cause much of a sensation, and it was not even as hot as the preview of the next season of a running male variety show.
However, when CCTV first announced the list of archaeological teams for the first time, the nest exploded on the Internet, of course, it is not excluded that someone will contribute to the trouble!
The captain of a large archaeological team of more than 200 people turned out to be a hairy boy who was only twenty-two years old and had not yet graduated, and he was also a young man who everyone was quite familiar with - Wei Xiu!
As soon as the archaeological list was announced, the Ministry of Culture and the Bureau of Cultural Relics were questioned by the whole society! You are a master of archaeology, and anyone can go there? Not to mention let a person with almost no archaeological experience lead the team?
I have to say that Wei Xiu still has a high popularity on the Internet, this time the list has been announced, and everyone did not shout at the beginning to announce their resumes, human flesh searches and the like, it is really too familiar to everyone of Wei Xiu, but it is precisely because of familiarity that everyone questioned it.
This question is not to question Wei Xiu, but to question the relevant departments that arranged this archaeology.
Wei Xiu is an expert in treasure appreciation, which we all admit, and we can't doubt that people's brilliant military exploits are there. The question is, when did this treasure expert become an archaeological expert again? Are treasure experts the same thing as an archaeological expert? Isn't it appropriate to take our taxpayers' money? Treat us like monkeys?
Even if Wei Xiu is a special talent, no matter how special he is, he doesn't have such a call, right? Look, Professor Fang Puze, a famous archaeological expert in the country, with the title of doctor, was actually arranged as a deputy position, Nima, who believes that there is no cat in this?
Public opinion on the Internet didn't know what was going on, and inexplicably began to turn to attacks on Wei Xiu.
In other words, Wei Xiu is also unlucky, every time he makes some trouble on the Internet, it is not good to ensure that he is not good, he is either scolded or suspected, and he is estimated to have used up his good luck by the explorers.
There was a lot of uproar on the Internet, and there were many discussions on news clients, self-media, and blogs, although he spoke quite cautiously and didn't dare to attack the government, but looking at the insinuation, he could also see his attitude towards this matter.
However, there is a good thing about Huaxia, it can't be innovated scientifically, and it can be innovated in other aspects! For example, the original civil service system of temporary workers is very coaxing, and it can be described as a big killer for stepping on the people behind the black pot!
100,000 yuan to buy a company with hundreds of millions of dollars, that is a common thing in the financial circle. Acute transient mental illness is the aristocratic disease of Chinese innovation, only nobles can afford to be born, you also want to get this disease?
What is the point of a young man in his twenties becoming the leader of an archaeological team? The upper echelons don't care about your public opinion, so it's useless if you can't listen to it.
However, the appointment of a 20-year-old archaeological team leader this time is really another mediocre trick by the relevant departments?
The leaders of the relevant departments were under tremendous pressure for a while!
At the same time when public opinion was in the dust, the first episode of CCTV's large-scale archaeological live broadcast was officially launched! Immediately, public opinion found an outlet, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes stared at this episode of the program, trying to find powerful rebuttal evidence.
This episode of the show is not long, about forty minutes, but the first twenty minutes are basically talking about the background of the discovery process of the Daqingshan Ancient Tomb in the Daxue Mountains, and then another five minutes to praise the archaeological team for shouldering the mission, Xiongguan Mandao, not afraid of the cold and other tourist scenery shooting, which made many netizens waiting to watch the show itch their teeth.
Finally, after the twenty-fifth minute of the show, the theme begins. At this time, on TV, the people of the whole country finally saw Wei Xiu's figure.
To be honest, Wei Xiu's figure is really not handsome, if it weren't for a close-up of the camera, many people would ignore it as a migrant worker, not to mention that face is popular, wrapped in a jacket like a zongzi, wearing a gray wool felt hat, a good fashion hat for him to wear a migrant worker and feel, that feeling is really not an expert.
However, it is this rustic dress, I don't know how it has made many netizens lose a lot of anger. Think about it, a rich man worth hundreds of millions of dollars, just because of the call of the country, let go of a good life, go to that kind of place to suffer, no matter how he got the position of captain, this courage alone is worthy of admiration.
At this time, the camera of the TV program was aimed at the reporter, and everyone found that the reporter was still a very beautiful girl, although this girl was hugged by a thick down hat, but the face at a glance was still real gold and not afraid of fire, so that everyone had a little spirit.
"I believe everyone is curious about this archaeology, why did you choose a young man with little or no experience to lead the team? We are also very curious about this, but I believe that the party and the government naturally have their considerations, so please follow me to uncover this mystery. ”
"Now the biggest problem in front of the archaeological team is that the location of the remains is difficult to determine, the reason why the Daqingshan tomb was found is because of the stratigraphic folds, commonly known as the earthquake and the destruction of the mountain gushing out of some burial goods, this is the discovery of the existence of the ancient tomb. However, the place where it was found has been covered by a large number of stones, and the mountain is very fragile in deconstruction, so it is difficult to excavate and detect by traditional conventional means, and the special climate of the local area makes the soil very hard, so you can see ......"
In the picture, Nan Xiangyue squatted down, picked up a stone and knocked on the ground, telling everyone how special the environment here is with practical actions.
“…… The soil has been frozen into ice by the melting snow, and it is very hard. Therefore, when the conventional excavation and detection methods are ineffective, how will the archaeological team solve this problem and find the location of the ancient tomb remains? ”
The TV picture panned and filmed Wei Xiu in, Wei Xiu in front of the camera behaved very normally, and he had to be normal, the wind was so strong that it almost blew people into stupid people, and any nervousness was left behind.
In the interview, Wei Xiu elaborated on the dilemma faced by the archaeology in a rigorous tone, and listed in detail the methods of breaking the dilemma in general.
However, in the face of the special geographical climate of Daqingshan, these methods have almost become a dead end.
"Since the traditional methods have almost completely failed, do the archaeological team have any ideas or plans at the moment?" Nan Xiangyue asked everyone's curiosity.
