Chapter 890: A Step of Exploration
Hu Chong had a lot of contact with Yang Yiyan and the other two old men, although he was just scolded by Yang Yiyan for having no nose and no face, but there was still some stuttering in his tone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, Yang Yiyan didn't give him a good look, Yang Yiyan was about to speak with a dark face, when Tang Dou, who had just entered the door, said, "I dare to guarantee." ā
There was silence in the conference room, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Tang Dou's face.
Tang Dou had already understood why Yang Yan had a dispute with someone, it was imperative to dig the underground palace, the longer the time dragged on, the more troubles would be, rather than this, it was better to cut through the mess quickly, as long as the underground palace was opened, all troubles would naturally disappear.
The underground palace is already under his nose, if he really wants to drag it out for three or five years and wait until the technology is perfect before excavating, then Tang Dou estimates that he will have to hit the wall with his head in a hurry.
Moreover, Tang Dou knew that his protection measures for the Chinese objects of the underground palace could be said to be foolproof, and he naturally had confidence in guaranteeing it, but he was also troubled that he could not resort to words.
The three old men looked at Tang Dou worriedly, they were afraid that Tang Dou would reveal something, for them, Tang Dou's secret was far more important than digging the underground palace.
Tang Dou smiled slightly, he walked to the simulated dungeon map hanging on the wall, looked at it carefully, turned to everyone and said with a smile: "I think there are a few vague places in this exploration map, I studied it, and I think the real dungeon form should be like this." ā
The simulation map made according to the caverns is naturally blurry, but due to the countless cavings that have been dug in a row in the past few days, the joint archaeological team has also roughly figured out the scale and direction of the underground palace community.
The current simulation of the underground palace is drawn in the form of a four-pointed star, which converges in the center from the four directions of south, east, west, and northwest, and the main palace complex in the center is a square architectural complex.
So far, except for the three old men, the people of the joint archaeological team still regard this underground palace as an ancient tomb, and the form of the underground palace that has been discovered now is also in line with the habit of the ancients to build mausoleums.
For such a large-scale mausoleum, Feng Yongzhang, Hu Chong, Luo Henian and others have basically decided that this is an emperor's mausoleum, as for which emperor's it is, it can only be determined according to the burial goods after opening the underground palace.
Archaeology is rigorous and allows for speculation, but it cannot be used as a basis for archaeology.
Tang Dou stretched out his finger and pointed to the exploration map and said: "I think this exploration map should not be much different from this underground palace, but as far as I know, the ancients in the Qin Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period used to build ear halls on both sides of the palace when they built palaces. ā
Feng Yongzhang, director of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, nodded lightly and said with a dark face: "Yes, the pre-Qin Dynasty did have such a habit of building, but it was a palace used by living people, and now this underground should be a mausoleum, and it cannot be generalized." ā
Feng Yongzhang's face couldn't help but be dark, just now Yang pointed his nose and said that a few of their archaeological teams were eating and drinking, and it would not be good for anyone to hear this, but this is the case, until now, Feng Yongzhang's application for the funds for this archaeology has not been allocated, and even the travel expenses are paid out of his own pocket, and the dozen or so people he led the team over this time have indeed been eating and drinking every day for five thousand years, which makes his old face have no place to put it, and his voice is half shorter. If Yang Yiyan had spoken like that just now, he would have slapped the table with Yang Yiyan a glance.
Tang Dou smiled at Feng Yongzhang: "May I ask who you are?" ā
Tang Dou had never been in contact with Feng Yongzhang, and when Feng Yongzhang led the team over, Tang Dou was dealing with the reconstruction of the Old Summer Palace in the capital, so he naturally didn't know him.
Hu Chong hurriedly introduced on the side: "Mr. Tang, this is Director Feng Yongzhang of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and he is a big name in our archaeological field. ā
Tang Dou smiled and nodded at Feng Yongzhang, who was embarrassed, walked over and stretched out his hand: "Hello Director Feng, I am Tang Dou who has been up and down for five thousand years. ā
Tang Dou didn't know Feng Yongzhang, but Feng Yongzhang knew Tang Dou, a man of the hour, not only that, but he also knew more about Tang Dou, because his brother-in-law was Director Peng next to the chief, and he knew from Director Peng's words that the chief admired Tang Dou very much...... Well, very much appreciated.
Feng Yongzhang got up and shook Tang Dou's hand, Tang Dou said with a smile: "Director Feng is right, the palace used by the living cannot be generalized with the mausoleum, but how can we conclude that this underground palace will definitely be a mausoleum?" ā
Feng Yongzhang finally showed a smiling face, he smiled at Tang Dou and said, "Mr. Tang, then can you explain, what caused the ancients to build such a large-scale palace at a depth of thirty meters underground?" ā
Except for the mausoleum, who would be idle enough to build a palace at a depth of thirty meters underground?
Tang Dou smiled and shook his head: "I can't explain it, but this problem is easy to solve." ā
As he spoke, Tang Dou walked back to the exploration map, stretched out his hand and pointed to a location and said: "According to our current exploration results, there happen to be no remains of the incinerated soil layer in this location that should be the ear hall, and we are inertial that there is a mausoleum buried underground, so we have not carefully explored this location." Then let's just dig it here, if there is an ear hall, it means that this underground palace group may not be a mausoleum, and under normal circumstances, the number of cultural relics stored in the ear hall will not be very much, even if the cultural relics are damaged by oxidation, it is just a drop in the bucket for the entire underground palace, and it should be within our range of bearing. ā
Feng Yongzhang hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if there is really an ear hall here, after we open it, there is still a possibility that it will cause damage to the cultural relics inside. This underground palace can be preserved intact until now, after thousands of years, and every cultural relic in it will be an irreproducible national treasure......"
Bang, Yang slapped the table again.
Paralyzed, I have never seen such a hypocritical person.
Tang Dou said with a wry smile: "Director Feng, this underground palace has not been dug up yet, and it is difficult for us to draw conclusions. But if we don't explore, we'll stop there forever. Well, I suggest you raise your hands and see if it's time for us to take this step of exploration. ā
"Yes, let's vote." A smile appeared on Qin Yanpei's face.
Now the joint archaeological team has added Feng Yongzhang and Hu Chong, the two deputy captains, plus the original Luo Henian and the deputy director of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, a total of seven positive and negative captains, and the three old men accounted for three votes, Tang Dou, the actual funder, should have one vote anyway, that is, four votes, and half of the votes were already accounted for by a show of hands, as long as one of the remaining four votes was in favor of them, or even abstained, the matter of excavating the underground palace would be completed.
Feng Yongzhang swept his eyes around, and said with a wry smile: "I don't need to vote, dig it, I agree." ā
Feng Yongzhang was the most resolute person who opposed the excavation of the underground palace at this time, but he also knew that Tang Dou came and proposed a show of hands to vote, if he still insisted, it would be clear that he was going to offend people.
Hearing that Feng Yongzhang agreed to dig, Yang smiled and stretched out his hand to punch Feng Yongzhang, and scolded with a smile: "You have been against me since you were young, and now that I have become an old blind man, you are still against me, you have the ability, let's compare at the wine table tonight, I will let you have half a catty first." ā
Feng Yongzhang hurriedly raised his hand to surrender: "Yes, I was wrong, but I think it's still a little inappropriate to start digging now......
"Where is so much, go, start work, you support me, let's go to the scene now, and I'll give you a celebration banquet in the evening." Yang dragged Feng Yongzhang up with one eye and strode towards the door.
Feng Yongzhang supported Yang with a bitter face, and smiled bitterly at Qin Yanpei, who was smiling on the side: "This old thing doesn't say that we eat and drink now, when our funds come down, not a penny will be missing from you, we are the country, you are individuals......"
Qin Yanpei laughed: "Your little funds should be kept for more important places, let's go, let's go to the scene, I can't wait to see the treasures in the underground palace now." ā
Feng Yongzhang grinned, for such a large-scale archaeological excavation activity, I am afraid that the funds that can be allocated to them two or three hundred million yuan are already the limit, but if two or three hundred million yuan is thrown into this archaeology, I am afraid that it will not even be able to make a splash.
