Chapter Thirty-Eight: Opening the Way with Money
The work permit of the eight places is still the kind of dirty design, which is Xing Jie's consistent complaint.
He thinks that the word "national security" is not even printed on it, which is very unconventional.
If you look at the FBI, the CIA, and when you kick the door, you shout: "FBI!"
How awesome!
Of course, their direct NCS is more dicked, but it's just not very famous either.
For those who don't know what the Eighth Department does, it may really become the Eighth Quality Security Office of Building Quality. But in the eyes of those who know, these two words represent a meaning far beyond national security.
"I haven't seen this document in years. Professor Bai said with a smile.
Xing Jie nodded, and then handed over a cigarette. The two of them sat on the canal at the edge of the field, leaning against the tall willow tree, and Professor Bai slowly told the situation of the year.
"Ruins have always appeared by extreme chance, and it is impossible to determine whether there are ruins in a certain place based on various materials. The reason is simple, although the information you can consult now is more abundant than that of the ancients, but the biggest difference between the two is time, understand?"
Xing Jie nodded. He understands that. The most convenient and direct way to find the city is from that dynasty? Of course, it was the Shang Tang period. Further down, as time goes on, everything changes.
A very simple example is that writing is the most important tool for recording, but there have been many changes in Chinese writing over the past few thousand years, from oracle bone inscriptions, golden inscriptions, small seals, large seals, and official scripts to our current simplified characters. There are even some words whose meanings have changed radically from ancient times.
Plus some so-called fake words, cognate words, and so on. In addition, because bamboo slips were used in ancient times, it was extremely inconvenient to make and write, so the idiom of regretting words like gold appeared. Then, because there is no punctuation, how to judge the meaning of a sentence, it is all up to future generations to guess.
When several aspects are added together, it creates a lot of so-called information, and if you don't cross-reference it with other literature, you won't know why it is!
The Chinese Chinese are broad and profound.
This is a kind of cultural deposition, but it is also the greatest pain for ancient culture researchers.
"I'm only sixty-eight years old this year. If you think about it, why my name was on the archaeological record 59 years ago? It's because I was the first person to discover this ruin, when I was only nine years old.
I'm a native here, and once again, by great surprise, I discovered that there are some beautiful bones in the ground. As for what that bone is, of course you know it in eight places. It's actually that simple. Of course, my name was withheld from the information that was released to the public, and then I joined Mr. Xia Nai's disciples. ”
Professor Bai said very easily, with a look of reminiscence. I can't say it, it's a very lucky lucky one. However, as for why Mr. Xia Nai has to identify this place as a pun, this is a little unclear.
"Actually, I don't really agree with the teacher's statement, saying that this is a palace, but in fact, I didn't find any evidence of the Xia Dynasty. Even the well-known turquoise dragon-shaped ornament is more of an early Shang Dynasty artistic feature. The cultural differences between the four excavation areas are very large, which is also the focus of the current debate. Professor Bai said in a low voice.
Xing Jie understood what it meant.
The competition between academics like this is no less than that of a bloody battlefield. Everyone is engaged in academic research, and you don't have more brains than me, so why is your point of view correct? Especially since Professor Bai's point of view is not quite the same as that of his own teacher, if this is put in the past, it would be a statement of bullying teachers and destroying ancestors.
So far, there are many things that cannot be explained. After all, the scene shown at the end of the sand table is already a ruin. If it was a complete city, maybe the major slave owners would fight for it. However, it is too expensive to rebuild a city from the ruins, and it is better to build a new city more quickly and safely.
The road was cut off, and Xing Jie was now unconsciously touching a USB flash drive in his pocket. It was a rough coordinate made by Zhang Fang based on his own inference, plus everyone's memories. It's just that the accuracy of this coordinate is not complimentary. Because often a number after the decimal point is surprising, that is the difference between 108,000 miles.
The sand table is not small, but in my memory, apart from the outer city walls, there is basically nothing left of the inner city! Being able to calculate the coordinates with just one pair of hands without any tools at all is a kind of skill in itself. But it's about precision.
"I have a piece of data in my hand, you don't care where it came from, it can roughly point out the coordinates of the city. Remember, it's the real city! Not the small courtyard with only double eaves. ”
Looking at the USB flash drive in Xing Jie's hand, Professor Bai's brows wrinkled directly. If someone else had said these things, he would have been kicked out a long time ago. But Xing Jie can't, those people in the eight places are too mysterious, and they often make some antiquities that people don't know the origin of at all. Could it be that someone from eight places could find an ancient map? It's not impossible. Wasn't the excavation of the "Bamboo Book Chronicle" inadvertently made by a tomb robber?
After entering the computer, Professor Bai began to study the coordinates.
"It can't be if this coordinate is true. Then our research direction will be to move at least five kilometers to the northwest, and that place has already entered the residential area of Erlitou Village. Professor Bai shook his head and said.
This kind of thing is the most helpless, no one wants others to demolish their own house, right?
"Demolish! The villagers who cooperated, I asked someone to build a new three-story building for them. Homestead or anything is not a problem, these things are simple, you just say whether this coordinate is useful or not!"
"Of course it's useful, this map is countless times more detailed than the ancient county chronicles! As for the error? That's absolute, it's a big deal to pull out all the people in the school, and nearly a thousand students explore together, and it doesn't cost any money, it is regarded as an internship before graduation. But you have to take responsibility for the food logistics. ”
Xing Jie waved his hand indifferently. How much money can be spent on the students' food? Is the standard of 100 yuan a day for one person okay? 1,000 people is only 100,000 yuan, and after a week, it is only 700,000 yuan, which is really nothing.
Originally, the villagers did not agree with these people doing nonsense here.
But Xing Jie's appearance completely reversed everyone's opinion, and now these villagers have regarded Xing Jie as the God of Wealth. I went for it, and the big millions drove it back, and it was piled up there. The red tickets are eye-catching, and of course, the black guns are also scary.
Now for a large-scale archaeological project involving nearly 1,000 people, the villagers don't care about what they can dig up. It's nothing more than some broken clay pots, and the villagers of Erlitou have been completely disappointed with this ruin! But the daily consumption of nearly 1,000 people is a lot of money.
Professor Bai was very excited, he hadn't seen such a grand scale for a long time!
