Tang Dou said that he would come when he went, but that time was only for Qin Shi Huang, he saw Princess Haoyue, knew that Princess Haoyue was safe and sound, and his heart had been put down, as for when to invite Qin Shi Huang and them to eat barbecue, it was a casual thing, at least at this time, it was definitely impossible. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now Tang Dou is in the ancient capital, the three old men are there, He Bin is also there, and he is still living in the hotel, it is really inconvenient, as for inviting Qin Shihuang and them to eat barbecue, let's wait until they return to Jinling, anyway, it is just a blink of an eye for them.

This time Tang Dou stayed in the Qin Dynasty for a long time, after crossing back to the hotel, the little secretary on the mobile phone reminded the call, Tang Dou quickly flipped through the call reminder, hurriedly ran to Zhou Lao's room to find reading glasses, and rushed downstairs to the archaeological site.

Seeing seven or eight cars parked near the archaeological site from a distance, Tang Dou couldn't help but grin, how did he know that the archaeological team led by the old men had become a joint archaeological team in cooperation with the ancient city, and the old men had also won a lot of benefits for the five thousand years museum.

Tang Dou quietly walked behind Zhou Lao, Zhou Lao glanced at Tang Dou and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?" ”

Tang Dou grinned embarrassedly, Zhou Lao asked strangely, but Tang Dou knew what Zhou Lao was asking.

"It's okay Master, everything is fine, your glasses." Tang Dou blushed and took out Zhou Lao's reading glasses from his pocket and handed them over.

It's not that it's okay, it's that something almost happened......

"It's fine." Zhou Lao took the glasses case and stuffed it directly into his pocket without looking at it, although Zhou Lao was old, his eyes were very good, these reading glasses were only used occasionally, he asked Tang Dou to get him reading glasses was just an excuse to branch Tang Dou.

Now the ancient city has temporarily put together seven or eight experts to form an archaeological team to join the joint archaeological team, the provincial cultural relics bureau also has two experts rushed to observe the news, Qin Yanpei is discussing with Mayor Chen and others about the enclosure of land for civil work, Mayor Chen has ordered the accompanying district government leaders to implement the matter.

Fortunately, the location where the three old men laid the first exploration hole was on a wasteland, and it would not be too much trouble to enclose the land for earthwork.

The ancient city has always attached great importance to the protection of cultural monuments, and the city has clear regulations on the land and buildings around the cultural monuments.

Tang Dou's underground palace is huge, yesterday Tang Dou has pointed out the approximate location and scope of the underground palace to the three old men, Qin Yanpei now pointed out that the archaeological scope is not even one percent of the entire underground palace, he does this just to step by step, as long as the excavation of the underground palace, then in the future, along with the excavation progress of the underground palace, and then expand the archaeological scope is just a logical thing, even if there is a municipal government on the surface, the three old men have enough reasons to ask the municipal government to move.

Unfortunately, the Afang Palace Scenic Area built by Qiao Beibei is above the position of the central hall of the underground palace, and it will definitely be demolished, but the three old men pretended not to know at this time.

At the location of the drilling, the archaeological team members of the upper and lower 5,000 years have continued to start the drilling rig to take soil samples upward, and now the soil samples have reached a depth of more than 20 meters underground, but since the discovery of the soil specimens rich in incineration carbides and half a jade hosta, there have been no other discoveries.

Luo Henian, the chief expert of the ancient city organization to participate in this joint archaeological team, the vice president of Northwest University, the doctoral supervisor of the Department of Archaeology of Northwest University, and the first person to be an archaeological authority in Northwest China, held a magnifying glass and observed the latest soil sample, and said to Yang on the side with a smile: "Yang Lao, it is now 28.5 meters underground, and the soil sample is still rammed earth. ”

Luo Henian and Yang Yiyan are also old acquaintances, but that was twenty or thirty years ago, when he asked Yang Yiyan for knowledge about antiques as a student, but there has been no contact since Yang Yiyan faded out of the antique shop.

For Yang Yiyan's antique appreciation, Luo Henian also admires the five bodies, but archaeology and antique appreciation are two completely different concepts, Luo Henian has been obsessed with archaeology for decades, but for archaeology, Luo Henian thinks that no one can beat it.

Yang smiled slightly, and asked Luo Henian, "Principal Luo, how many meters is 28.5 meters away from the burned soil sample?" ”

Luo Henian replied with a smile: "There are nineteen .8 meters." ”

Yang smiled and said, "Nineteen and eight meters, that's nearly twenty meters deep." I wonder what kind of monument is the burned ruins, and it is necessary to dig a foundation twenty meters deep, could it be that the ancients built a skyscraper on it? ”

Luo Henian's smile stiffened, in fact, he was also wondering about this question, what kind of building needs to be laid twenty meters deep? Could it be that the ancients really built a 100-meter-high skyscraper here? How is that possible?!

Yang smiled and said: "Since there is a rammed earth layer formed by humanity, I am very curious about whether there will be another world under this rammed earth layer." Of course, it doesn't matter if my analysis is wrong, let's just dig a few more cavings, and it won't take much effort. ”

Luo Henian sneered: "Hehe, what Elder Yang said is right, it's just a few more caves." ”

Dig a few more cavings in order to explore the landform under the rammed earth layer, it is really not light, the rammed earth layer is generally used as the foundation of the building, the buildings are on the rammed earth layer, what is there to look at below? The cost of a cave tens of meters deep is at least one or two hundred thousand yuan, and no one will do such a stupid thing except for your rich people for five thousand years.

Forget it, this joint archaeology is based on you up and down for 5,000 years, and the funds are also covered by you, how you like to toss and how to toss, we just follow the fun, there is the best to find, and it will not cause us any loss if you don't find it.

Luo Henian stood up with a smile and patted the floating soil on his hands.

At this time, Tang Dou walked over with Zhou Lao in his arms, and Zhou Lao smiled at Luo Henian and asked, "Principal Luo, have you found anything?" ”

Luo Henian smiled and said to Zhou Lao: "Principal Zhou, it has reached a depth of 28.5 meters underground, or a rammed earth layer, the ancients are really strange, they actually laid such a deep foundation here, Yang Lao just joked that the ancients built a skyscraper here, hehe." ”

Zhou Lao laughed, he naturally knew what was buried under this rammed earth layer, but he could only pretend to be confused before the water came out.

Of course, Zhou Lao would not say nonsense to others like the ancients building skyscrapers, he smiled and changed the topic: "Since the ancients did this, they must have their reasons, Principal Luo, let me introduce you to us, this is our chairman Tang Dou for five thousand years." Douzi, this is President Luo of Northwest University, a senior in the archaeological field, you will have to ask President Luo for more advice in the future. ”

"It turns out that you are Mr. Tang, who has admired the name for a long time, and is really a famous teacher and apprentice, young and promising." Luo Henian enthusiastically stretched out his hand to Tang Dou, both hands.

Tang Dou smiled and shook Luo Henian's outstretched hand with both hands: "Hello Principal Luo, please give me more advice in the future." ”

Luo Henian said with a smile: "Don't be polite, Mr. Tang, you are the successor of the two predecessors of Beiyang and Nanzhou, and there is also Dean Qin on the side to guide, but I don't dare to say anything about advice, we can enhance exchanges and discuss with each other in the future." ”

Tang Dou smiled and said kind words to Luo Henian.

At this time, the archaeological team members had already taken out several sections of drill pipes one after another, and the soil samples taken out of the drill pipes showed that they were still the structure of the rammed earth layer.

Luo Henian's brows couldn't help but furrow, if you calculate the depth now, it is almost thirty meters deep just from the incinerated earth layer, how can it still be a rammed earth layer?

The rammed earth layer is generally only compacted for the stability of the surface building, even if it is a skyscraper tens of meters high in modern buildings, it is not necessary to build a 30-meter-deep foundation, what did the ancients build here?

Finally, the last section of the drill pipe was unearthed, and Zhou Lao couldn't help pinching Tang Dou's arm and exchanging glances with Tang Dou.

Tang Dou smiled back at Zhou Lao, there is no one in this world who knows better than him what is buried underground.

After more than four years, through the two generations of King Zhuangxiang and Qin Shi Huang, hundreds of thousands of migrant workers have been mobilized, and such a huge project will be recorded in history even in modern times.

However, this underground palace has never appeared in any historical records, and it is only well documented that Qin Shi Huang used hundreds of thousands of migrant workers to build Afang Palace in Shanglin Yuan, Xianyang.

The archaeological team members opened the drill pipe and couldn't help but shake their heads gently after seeing the soil samples in the drill pipe.

It's still a rammed earth layer, but there is some extra gravel at the end, which looks like hitting a rock layer.

A layer of rammed earth is built directly on top of a layer of rock? That's, isn't it?

Luo Henian was familiar with the topography of the ancient capital and even the entire northwest region, and he knew that the underground rock formations near the ancient capital would never be at this depth.

Luo Henian suddenly thought of another possibility, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Get out of the way", Luo Henian shouted, directly pushed away the two archaeological team members and ran to the very end of the drill pipe soil sample, and in the process of running, he had already taken out the magnifying glass that had just been stuffed from his pocket.

At the end of the rammed earth layer, the cylindrical rammed earth sample is imprinted with the shape of half a beast's claw, which is the imprint left by the rammed earth on the architectural sculpture over the years.

Luo Henian lay on the ground regardless of his identity, raised the magnifying glass in his hand to see the marks of the half of the beast's claws, and couldn't help but shout excitedly at the people around him: "Ancient tomb, I conclude that there is a huge ancient tomb down here!" And it is very likely to be the ancient tomb of the emperors and generals before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. ”

In addition to the ancient tomb, Luo Henian could not imagine that there would be any buildings that could be built at a depth of more than 30 meters underground, and the reason why he deduced that this ancient tomb was before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was because not far away was the ruins of Afang Palace, and the ruins of the Qin Dynasty had been preserved on the surface, so the underground ruins should naturally be the ruins before the Qin Dynasty.

Luo Henian's inference is not wrong, the history of the Chinese nation is too long, and the ancient capital is located at the front of the Yellow River Valley, which is the birthplace of the Chinese nation, and it is not surprising to find the historical sites of civilization before the pre-Qin period.

Hearing Luo Henian's shout, the people scattered around gathered over, but no one noticed that the hands of the three old men had been tightly pulled together, and tears had hidden in the old eyes of the three people.

Jiuding, Jiuding that has been sleeping for 2,000 years...... It's time for you to show the world your charm.
