After the press conference, in just two or three days, countless people poured into the calm prairie, including archaeologists from all over the world, many businessmen who had invested in the environment, and many tourists who wanted to witness the archaeological excavations under the pretext of traveling.

However, regardless of the purpose of these people coming to the grassland, they were not able to get close to the archaeological area, because it was already under military control.

Although Zhuang Rui is convinced that ordinary people cannot excavate the underground Genghis Khan Mausoleum, those tomb robbers have many methods, and Zhuang Rui has also done some preventive work.

On the day of the press conference, at the suggestion of Zhuang Rui, the Alzhai Grottoes were closed in the name of dilapidated repairs, and within a radius of 50 miles, they were also listed as military restricted areas, and tourists were strictly prohibited from entering.

The grasslands of Inner Mongolia are often used as satellite recovery bases and military exercise sites, and there are no herders' gathering places around the Alzhai Grottoes.

However, as a result, many scientific scientists from various countries who want to enter the archaeological site have a lot of opinions and have protested to the relevant departments.

However, this time, the Chinese side is very resolute and publicizes that after the archaeological work is completed, relevant film and television materials can be provided to various countries, but the entire excavation process will be carried out by Chinese scientific research experts alone.

Of course, the so-called film and television materials provided to various countries will also be cut before they are open to the outside world.

This opinion was actually put forward by Zhuang Rui, after all, in the underground Genghis Khan Mausoleum, there are countless treasures, especially gold as a hard currency, which will make any country feel red.

On China's turf, even if those foreign experts and scholars are unwilling, they have no choice but to stay in nearby cities, hoping for more news to break out.

As for those who have evil intentions, they are also quietly stationed in various parts of the grassland like beasts that have their prey, and they still have a trace of illusion to check the leaks left by the archaeological team.

……

At this time, Zhuang Rui didn't know what was happening outside, he was busy these days, and now he was negotiating with many scientific scientists for the next step of exploration and excavation.

After three days of research and surveying, the secret passage leading to the mausoleum in the dark river has been confirmed to have no mechanism, that is, the conditions for entering the mausoleum are now met.

Some narrow sections of the cave in the dark river leading from the bottom of the lake to the mausoleum have also been opened up and widened a lot in the past few days, and as for the place overgrown with "slugs", all the strong acid secretions have been destroyed, and in the face of such a major discovery, the protection of the underground topography has become less important.

Much of the excavation equipment and tools used in the burial chamber have also been transported to the entrance of the passage.

In that spacious dark river, the lights were bright at the moment, and Dr. Ren was leading a few young scientific expedition personnel to deliver the last batch of supplies to the designated place.

Different from previous archaeology, although this archaeology is also led by veteran scientific research experts, all the people working on the front line are young staff.

There is also a reason for this situation, and yesterday, an old expert, who is nearly 70 years old, must go down to survey the site in person.

The old man is old, and he is also a highly respected figure in the archaeological world, no one can persuade him, there is no way, put on diving equipment for him and let him go to the lake.

Who knew that when he just dived to a depth of six or seven meters, this old man couldn't stand the pressure and fainted, if it wasn't for the early opportunity of the people next to him, it is estimated that this old man would have dedicated himself to the cause of scientific research.

There was such a thing, Minister Ouyang, who was far away in Beijing, also gave instructions that the underground archaeology was fully in charge of the deputy commander-in-chief Zhuang Rui, and the old experts could only command from above, and it was strictly forbidden to go down to the archaeological site, and such an order was probably the first time in the history of Chinese archaeology.

There was also a suggestion to open a passage from the ground so that everyone could enter the underground river and speed up the excavation of the tombs, a proposal that was supported by many at the time.

However, after a simple survey, everyone found that four or five meters under their feet, all of them were rock layers, with a thickness of more than twenty or thirty meters.

Overnight, I invited road and bridge construction experts to consult, and the conclusion came that it would take at least four months for the opening of this passage without affecting the underground river.

Because it is close to Swan Lake, it will cause the lake to backfill, and if the distance is too far, the rock layer is too thick, and the use of explosives is very likely to collapse the underground river, so it can only be carried out slowly with water milling.

At this moment, the actual depth of the underground tomb was also measured, a full 121 meters, and when the results were announced, this number also stunned everyone present.

You must know that the deepest of the existing known tombs in China is only one or twenty meters, and even the large tombs built in the mountains in the Han Dynasty are only twenty or thirty meters deep.

Including the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which cannot be excavated due to technical reasons, after the judgment of modern instruments, that is, the depth of thirty or forty meters, and the tomb in front of him of hundreds of meters, even these experienced archaeologists, have never heard of.

The suggestion to open a passage from the ground has so far been completely rejected, at least until the tomb is entered, and it is not practical.

Because even if everyone had the patience to wait for a few months, this passage was still three or four miles away from the entrance of the mausoleum, and if they wanted to make a passage at that secret passage, the depth of hundreds of meters there would be enough for road and bridge construction experts to be blinded.

Although this conclusion made many experts a little frustrated, but at the same time, it also brought them endless reverie, in ancient times, the identity of the person who could build a tomb of this scale with such strength was already about to be revealed, and there was no one else except the emperor.

Even some experts have concluded that this tomb is the legendary Genghis Khan Mausoleum, and the worst is also the first three emperors of the Yuan Dynasty.

However, archaeological work must always be based on facts, and Professor Meng put an end to these discussions, focusing his work on the preliminary preparation before entering the tomb.

As a result, the archaeological work returned to its original track, and the preparatory measures were carried out in an orderly manner after the command headquarters issued one order after another, and the veteran experts, who could not go down in person, tried their best to think more thoroughly about the difficulties and problems that would be encountered.

At Zhuang Rui's insistence, he also urgently called hundreds of catties of formalin from hundreds of kilometers away, and his reason was that it could not be ruled out that because of the good sealing of the tomb, the body of the tomb owner could be preserved, and some powerful antiseptics were prepared, which was also a precaution.

……

"Teacher, I think the time is ripe, I can consider entering the tomb......"

For Zhuang Rui, the mysterious tomb underground is almost completely undefended.

If it weren't for the fact that the origin of the heirloom jade seal was really impossible to explain, and the traces after entering could not be erased, Zhuang Rui even had the idea of secretly entering the tomb to pocket the heirloom jade seal.

There used to be a wealthy man abroad who specialized in collecting the most valuable funerary goods in tombs around the world, which in the past few decades, directly led to the rampant tomb robbers in various countries, from the noble emperor to the ordinary people, countless tombs were murdered.

Zhuang Rui would be very unimpressed by the behavior of this rich man, but now he understands his mentality a little, the treasures in these tombs are indeed unique, if possible, Zhuang Rui also wants to take these treasures as his own and play slowly.

"Xiao Zhuang is right, only by entering the tomb and surveying its structure can we decide how the next step will be carried out, let's talk about it......"

Professor Meng was very convinced of Zhuang Rui's words, if you don't enter the tomb, everything is empty talk, if you don't find out the identity of the owner of the tomb, you can't survey the entrance to the tomb when it was built, and the follow-up work will not be carried out.

"I agree to enter the mausoleum ......"

"I agree with ...... too"

"I agree, but comrades who go in should be careful......"

"Please come in with the comrades of CCTV, and do a good job of camera work at any time......"

As soon as Professor Meng's words fell, several deputy commanders present expressed their opinions that for them, they could not enter the tomb in person now, which made them want to know the identity of the tomb owner as soon as possible.

After a short meeting, the list of the first batch of people to enter the tomb archaeology was determined, led by Deputy Commander Zhuang Rui, and led by five young archaeologists, including Ren Chunqiang.

In addition, among the first people to enter the mausoleum, there are two of CCTV's best photojournalists, who will follow the archaeological team and record the situation of this major excavation site faithfully and completely.

These film and television materials will also become the most valuable historical documents in the history of Chinese archaeology, and they will also be the factual basis for the production of relevant documentaries in the future.

The secret passage in the underground dark river has been cleaned up in the past few days to ensure that there are no poisonous insects, mosquitoes and snakes in the narrow secret passage, Zhuang Rui and his party of eight are standing at the entrance of the secret passage at this moment.

"I'm in the first, Wang Ji is behind me, and Dr. Ren is in the third, ...... behind"

Because the secret passage is very narrow and can only accommodate one person crawling forward, before entering, Zhuang Rui made arrangements for the order of the people entering according to the previous plan.
