Chapter 1191: The Crystal Coffin

"Teacher, inside...... And a crystal coffin ......."
Zhuang Rui was the first to wake up, not to say how strong his concentration was, but as early as more than a month ago, Zhuang Rui had already experienced such an impact, and now he is somewhat immune. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Huh, the crystal coffin?"
After Professor Meng heard Zhuang Rui's words, he woke up like a dream and looked at it intently, and sure enough, outside this lifelike imperial corpse, there was also a transparent crystal coffin, sealing his entire body inside.
And the gold and silver brocades that seem to be covering Genghis Khan's body are actually floating in the water, but the size of the crystal coffin is not large, just enough to accommodate this corpse, and it looks like it is tightly wrapped around the body.
"Soaking in potions?"
Professor Meng paid attention to this, and suddenly found that Genghis Khan's entire body was surrounded by a colorless water-like substance, and it was only the crystal coffin with extremely high transparency, and if you didn't observe it carefully, you really couldn't find it.
However, this raises the question, what kind of substance is the potion in it, and can it last for thousands of years?
You must know that water-like substances will evaporate naturally, not to mention such a little water, if a small lake becomes stagnant water, I am afraid that it will disappear in less than a thousand years.
What's even more amazing is that just such a potion of crystal coffin can preserve this corpse for thousands of years without decay, and this effect seems to be impossible with the most advanced modern technology.
Needless to say, the efficacy of this antiseptic potion is definitely far greater than the formalin brought in by the archaeological team this time, and if this mystery can be solved, I believe it will also have a great effect on the development of modern medicine.
"This ...... This crystal coffin is actually ...... There are no gaps?"
The problem that the potion did not evaporate, and it was immediately unraveled, because Professor Meng, who looked down at his body, found that the entire crystal coffin was completely integrated, and there did not seem to be any interface gaps.
Zhuang Rui saw that Professor Meng was focusing on the crystal coffin, so he couldn't help coughing and said, "Teacher, the coffin has been opened, let's ...... Why don't you clean up the stuff next to it first?"
In this huge coffin, in addition to the crystal coffin, there are also countless precious funerary goods, more than one meter high blood coral, all kinds of exquisite ancient jade and gold and silver utensils, the entire coffin is stuffed to the full.
These things need to be maintained immediately after the coffin is opened, otherwise oxidation is likely to occur after exposure to external oxygen.
"Yes, yes, I was negligent......"
Professor Meng's old face turned red, originally he should have said this, but he didn't expect that under this distraction, he actually let the students remind him.
"Zhuang Rui, you and Xiao Ren bring up the things, Xiao Yanagi, a few of you below, and clean up the objects on the left side first......"
There were only eight staff members who entered the main tomb this time, and Professor Meng also knew that it was impossible to carry out such a high-intensity cleaning work with his own body, so he made proper arrangements at the moment.
"Pick it up, two pieces of ancient jade ......"
"One blood coral, no, two people ......"
"A golden short knife, this color is not quite right, hurry up and take care of it......"
Zhuang Rui and Dr. Ren stood on the ladder, leaned over and took out the cultural relics from the coffin, this bend over and did it for more than four or five hours, the tired two had a sore back, and only cleaned out the treasures at the bottom of the crystal coffin.
More than 1,680 pieces of high-quality ancient jade, most of which are bats and hollow dragon-shaped jade pendants that represent auspicious significance, because this tomb did not collapse into the water, the jade is quite well preserved.
Because of the perennial contact with gold and silverware and coffin brocade, many ancient jade have three or four colors on it, and there is even a piece of ancient jade that Zhuang Rui has never seen seven-color jade, several different colors, which sets off the ancient jade more and more mysterious.
The rich jade burial goods, Zhuang Rui who saw it regretted it in his heart, if he stole this tomb alone, the Dingguang Museum would immediately be able to add a jade venue.
In addition, the blood coral is also superb, the whole coral is about one and a half meters high, even if it is buried underground for thousands of years, it still exudes bright and beautiful colors, and on the natural coral branches, there are artificially inlaid gemstones, which makes it even more dazzling.
At this time, Director Guo, who was watching the clean-up work at the ground headquarters, suddenly let out an exclamation: "Alas, this is ...... So many good things......"
"Xiao Guo, what's wrong? Aren't you happy that you've discovered so many good things?"
Ouyang Zhenwu was running between Beijing and Inner Mongolia during this time, and the preliminary work of the press conference has been prepared, and it will be carried out immediately after the coffin of Genghis Khan is opened today.
"Happy, happy, but minister, I want to admit my mistake to the organization, I shouldn't have bet on state goods and private individuals......"
Director Guo's heart seems to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle, I don't know what it feels like, each of these objects can be called a national treasure, think about Zhuang Rui will lend three pieces in the future, Director Guo is distressed.
It's just that Director Guo couldn't have imagined that Zhuang Rui didn't take these funeral goods to heart at all, and even Director Guo didn't have the right to lend the things he wanted in the end.
"Zhuang Rui has made a great contribution to the country, and he should be rewarded appropriately......"
Ouyang Zhenwu knew Director Guo's mood, and said with a smile: "And the Forbidden City has been very bad recently, and it also needs to introduce some competition system, don't think that occupying the country's resources is the eldest of them, Xiao Guo, you are responsible in this matter......"
Some time ago, the Forbidden City broke out a lot of scandals, damaging national first-class cultural relics, lax anti-theft systems, stolen items, and even broke out in the last century The Forbidden City issued Qing court armor as a welfare to employees, which made the people extremely dissatisfied.
Ouyang Zhenwu's words can be said to be very serious, and his meaning is obvious, if the following departments do not carry out rectification, it is not excluded that some precious cultural relics will be handed over to other state-owned or even private museums for exhibition.
"Yes, yes, minister, after this excavation is completed, we will rectify and improve the work style......"
Director Guo is also in his fifties, and he has nothing to refute when Ouyang Zhenwu said that his face was flushed, because the Palace Museum has indeed had frequent accidents recently, which not only caused a crisis of confidence among the people, but also the central bosses were very dissatisfied with it.
……
"Alright, let's take a break and clean up after that......
The excavation of the tomb is an extremely boring and energy-consuming matter, and there is no room for sloppiness, and after four or five hours of work, everyone is already exhausted.
The initial excitement of seeing Genghis Khan has long been thrown out of the clouds, and the staff in the tomb have long lost their reverence for the emperor, and sometimes they are eager to move him out of the coffin, and the cleaning of objects in the province is often hindered.
Walking outside to change into the oxygen suit, Zhuang Rui took a sip of water, and said to Professor Meng: "Teacher, wait a minute, let's clean up the head position first, according to the style of Mongolian tombs, the two places on the head and feet are often the richest places for burial goods......
In this huge underground palace, the three objects that Zhuang Rui values the most, the first is the "heirloom jade seal" that symbolizes the majesty of the ancient emperors, and the second is the golden arrow engraved with the name of Genghis Khan.
As for the third, of course, it is Genghis Khan himself who is buried in the crystal coffin, but due to geographical restrictions, it is estimated that it is difficult to move such a large crystal coffin to the ground.
Zhuang Rui is not greedy, as long as Director Guo keeps his promise and hands him over the golden arrow and the "heirloom jade seal", Zhuang Rui will be satisfied.
Before Professor Meng could answer Zhuang Rui's words, Ren Chunqiang preemptively said: "Zhuang Rui, let's clean up the objects on both sides first, clean up both sides, and you can stand inside......
When cleaning the bottom of the crystal coffin just now, due to the small place, after taking out the items above, it was not easy to take out the bottom one, and Dr. Ren almost fell into the coffin without a single upside-down onion and made contact with Genghis Khan's dragon feet.
"Brother Ren, the two places at the head and tail are the most difficult to clean, after cleaning up the two ends, the following work will be carried out, let's make it difficult first and then easy......"
Zhuang Rui has always respected Ren Chunqiang, but after holding back for more than a month, Zhuang Rui just wants to see the jade seal of the country as soon as possible, and he can't care about refuting Dr. Ren's face.
"Okay, just do what Xiaozhuang said, everyone add more oil, and strive to clean up the items in the coffin today......"
Professor Meng now almost answered Zhuang Rui's request, although he went down to the tomb, but more often Zhuang Rui was directing the clean-up operation, which made Professor Meng a little disappointed, but also a little relieved in his heart.
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, the old man has to retreat after all, and he can see that Zhuang Rui can preside over a major archaeological excavation of such a scale alone at the age of just thirty, even Professor Meng feels that he is old.
After a short rest, the group finished dressing again and came to the coffin again to get busy. Now seeing Genghis Khan in the crystal coffin, everyone no longer has the feeling just now.
This is also a common problem of people, what is seen a lot, and it is not a matter of importance, just like some men who have a wife at home who are like flowers, and they have to go out to find an average-looking junior, and this matter is actually the same reason.
After more than two hours, the items on the top of the crystal coffin have decreased a lot, and now every time Zhuang Rui fishes out objects, his face and the face of Genghis Khan in the coffin are almost close at hand.
"What is this?
Ren Chunqiang, who was cleaning up on the other side, suddenly leaned out of the coffin and held a flat, long strip of golden object in his hand.
