Chapter Ninety-Eight: Three Days to Become a City

In the first morning, Fang Hong was surprised to find a large number of bulldozers and excavators parked outside the dwarf forest, and the shoveled village of the dwarf forest was gone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At noon on the first day, Fang Hong saw Professor Wang organize people to repair and strengthen all the stone pillars underground.

On the first night, the entire purple-black surface of the dirt was gone, replaced by a yellow layer of dirt, which had been dug up.

The next morning, Professor Wang clarified the scope of the entire site, and began digging ditches on the perimeter to create the foundation.

This scope is too large, and it is impossible to build a building like golden sand, cover the surface, and can only dig it out as it is and then repair it at the cost.

Piles of film were sent here, steel frames were erected, the film was torn apart, and the entire top of the main site was erected, and the excavation had to start from the main building of the observatory.

The entire building was quickly excavated, and surprisingly, the scale of this main building far exceeded Fang Hong's original imagination.

This building is not a long east-west building, but a boxy building, with the stargazing platform in the middle and another floor below!

The upper floor of the building is indeed a rectangular building, with four rooms to the south and seven rooms to the east from the area where the observatory is located, and a large building with ten rooms in length and width on the lower floor.

In the middle of the whole building is a cross-shaped road.

In other words, this should be a royal city of that era, not a tomb.

When Xia Wei died, he took the Xia Dynasty to be buried together, and devoted everything he had to build this place, creating an eternal kingdom for himself.

This building is very similar to the description of the Shang Dynasty in history.

In other words, Xia Wangcheng is like this, after the Shang moved the capital, it reproduced this kind of royal city exactly as it was, and Xia Wei also built a similar royal city here.

However, in the Central Plains, the materials used are rammed earth, so now the excavation is only the foundation and no physical buildings, here, the use of one by one boulders, so it has been preserved.

After all the measurements, the tallest observatory in the building is 35 meters above the ground, and the burial chamber is 15 meters above the ground.

The lower floor was built with stones to build a six-meter-high platform, and the first floor of the building was a total of nine meters on the six-meter-high platform, a building of this scale, even at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it could be regarded as a high-rise building.

In terms of construction difficulty, civil engineering buildings are definitely 10,000 times more difficult than stone buildings, but in terms of preservation, stone buildings are easier to preserve.

The Mayan pyramid is the earliest and largest of the earliest surviving stone structures in the world, and the scale of this structure is infinitely close to that of the Mayan pyramids.

Of course, the role is different, the Mayan pyramids were not built for royal palaces, and the practicality here is higher.

As the main building was completely excavated, the surrounding buildings were also excavated.

There is a dark river underground, or a moat from the past, and the moat outside the palace has been submerged, and the indoor river channel that served as a drainage channel has been preserved. Now that it has been dug up, the moat has reappeared in its original form.

This moat surrounds the Imperial City, with a total length of 800 meters, not square, and overlaps the border of the Imperial City on the southeast side, with nine holes under the waterway connected to the indoor river channel.

What's even more terrifying is that many crocodile bones were found here, that is, the moat of that year was full of crocodiles known as Jiaolong in that era.

Not only did Xia Wei have many people and horses buried for him, but after his death, the crocodiles here could not climb the stone banks of the river, and there was no food source, and eventually fought each other until they all died.

Excavations on the periphery have also begun, and sure enough, they are distributed in a circle, but strangely enough, there are pottery and some finds in the stone buildings in the innermost circle, which prove that they were inhabited, and further on the periphery there are no inhabitants, and they are empty, and some buildings have not been completed.

Until here, Fang Hong finally made his own judgment: "More than 1,500 years ago, Xia Wei was defeated and retreated to the only Fang State in the whole of China that was still under the rule of Xia State-Ancient Shu State, where he built his own place of governance. Before the construction of Xia Wei's king was completed, there were some accidents, or Xia Wei's health was declining and he was no longer able to continue to rule this land, or the people who followed him rebelled, in short, the construction of the royal city had been stopped before the construction was completed. “

"At that time, this should not have been a place where the fog covered the sky and the sun, because according to expert research, many of the trees here were not trees in this area, they were transplanted, and if this was a rocky mountain, from a climatic point of view, there would be no transpiration effect, there would be no clouds."

"At that time, Xia Wei stood on the stargazing platform and could overlook the last area of his rule."

"Xia Wei died, and the last people who were loyal to the Xia Dynasty let all the slaves who built the royal capital be buried with Xia Wei, and even they themselves were buried here. This royal city became a forbidden place for the people of ancient Shu. ”

"The stars have changed, the dug stone mountain has become more suitable for plant growth, a large number of plants have closed this place, coupled with ancient legends, this place has become a forbidden place for the Yi people, the descendants of the Xia people, and finally Xia Wei and his Sun King Palace were buried in this dark place."

Faced with Fang Hong's speculation, the sailor shouted: "Brother Gun, you shouldn't go on an adventure, you should write a novel!" ”

Actually, it's not imaginary, but where would there be so many stones in the first place? This is Xichuan, it is normal to have stones here, it is not normal to have no stones, Xia Wei may have mined the entire stone mountain range here to build this royal capital, after the stones were collected, the bare area mixed with gravel and mud of course became suitable for growing plants, because there are no plants growing on the pure stone cliffs, and a large number of stone mountains in Xichuan are bare.

Subsequently, the mountain range was irregular, and a very windy environment was formed in the mountains in the east, west, north, and south directions, and the transpiration effect caused the place to be permanently hidden, just like the Mayan civilization did not even know the people of the Inca Empire.

I don't know if Xia Wei himself ordered everyone to bury him, or if the ministers who followed him voluntarily after his death, in short, they thought that they could still rule here after death, ruling this royal city built like the sun, but in the end, people died and the lights went out.

"At that time, all the buildings should not have been built around the so-called Xia Wang's Palace, but around an ancient tree."

For thousands of years in China, an ancient tree can bring good feng shui, and an ancient tree can form a palace, a temple, which has been preserved for thousands of years.

This tradition began in the tribal era, and from the tribal era they built the tribe around the towering ancient trees.

And Xia Wei made the buildings all around the palace.

Perhaps this was the final step from the tribal era to the dynastic era.

From then on, all the buildings in the royal capital of any era had to be built around the imperial palace.

Because, they want to be the center of the people.

On the third day, a circle of foundations was laid, the fence was raised, and outside the tent area, all the ancient buildings were excavated, and the collapsed small buildings were rebuilt.

This city, which I don't know how many years it has been built, took three days to see the light of day.
