Chapter 418: The Treasure (I)

At about 8 o'clock in the morning the next day, Yang Yiwei followed the bus of the Palace Museum to the Old Summer Palace, because the park is closed today, so there is no tourist here, and the excavation place has obviously been confirmed yesterday, at this time it has already been surrounded by a circle of yellow cloth, this should have been a pavilion, but the pavilion has become a ruin, and now there are only stones near here.

"According to the treasure map you provided, we have already determined that the starting point of that passage should be under this pavilion, but we are going to start digging from this place this time." Xiao Shikai pointed to Yang Yiwei and said that it was less than forty meters away from the Wanquan River next to him.

"The water depth of the Wanquan River in this area is about 3 meters, and in order to prevent seepage, that is to say, the channel must be dug to a depth of at least about 10 meters, although I don't know how these people do it, but the excavation in this area should be the easiest, the source of the place is the ruins of a pavilion, where there is a foundation, it is difficult to confirm whether there is a channel, and the above requires that try not to destroy any ruins." Xiao Shikai explained to Yang Yiwei.

Yang Yiwei nodded and looked over there, the wind here is quite strong today, so Yang Yiwei put his glasses on, the reason why he came with him is actually to see the progress of these people's excavation work, in case of digging in the wrong place, then Yang Yiwei still has a chance to correct, if he is not there, this excavation is directly abandoned, then next time I want to do it again, but it will be too difficult.

However, looking at the place that Xiao Lao pointed to, Yang Yiwei couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, at least about ten meters away from the stone passage, the width of the passage was only more than three meters wide, and the width of the stone walls on both sides was 4 meters wide. If you deviate from more than ten meters, you can dig it out. But Yang Yiwei didn't know what to say for a while, and after thinking for a long time, Yang Yiwei asked, "Old Xiao, how did you confirm this position?" ”

The treasure map given by Yang Yiwei is naturally a reduced map, and it is impossible to have a map of the same size as the real thing, although it is only a part of the Old Summer Palace, but the scale is probably 1 to 100 or larger, Yang Yiwei doesn't know how they confirmed it.

Hearing Yang Yiwei ask, Xiao Lao smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you think we haven't done anything in the past few days?" We've been trying to find the information these days, the treasure map you gave...... It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a simple picture. It's just a rough mark, and now I hope the treasure map you gave is accurate, because it doesn't even have an exact scale, do you see, those technicians are measuring the width of the river. Then compare it to the one on your map and measure a few more locations. Then a large number of scales are calculated. Then make a comparison. ”

So that's it...... Yang Yiwei was also speechless for a while, but the treasure map given by Xiaoxi must not be fake, just see if the calculation of this scale is accurate. Yang Yiwei can't interject now, so he can only wait for a while to think of a way. "Old Xiao." An old professor over there shouted, and Xiao Shikai immediately said hello to Yang Yiwei and walked over.

At this time, no one cares about Yang Yiwei, and the old professor Yang Yiwei on the entire bus is familiar. Except for the two directors of the Palace Museum who are not experts in archaeology, the remaining eight or nine old professors who are experts in archaeology and ancient gardens are all experts in archaeology and ancient gardens. These experts greeted Yang Yiwei and threw themselves into their work, and even the two deans went to help, so Yang Yiwei naturally had nothing to do.

"Where did you get your treasure map?" Yang Yiwei found a corner where no one was around, saw that no one was paying attention to him, and then asked secretly. "In order to be realistic, I based on a map of Beijing from 1860 that I found, and then marked it out according to that map." Konishi also arrived quickly. Yang Yiwei nodded, if this is the case, then there is no problem, the mapping of that era is definitely not as accurate as modern times, so it is understandable that there are errors, what Yang Yiwei is thinking about now is how to move the places confirmed by these professors to the correct position.

"This is it, everybody get out of the way and let the machines get to work." However, Yang Yiwei hasn't figured out a way yet, the two large excavators over there have already started to work, Yang Yiwei hesitated for a moment and still didn't interject, mainly because he didn't find a suitable excuse to interject like this? Do you tell people that I don't feel like the passage is there, it's more than a dozen meters away?

According to Xiao Shikai's calculations, the depth of the passage at this excavation location is between 4 meters and 7 meters at most, this calculation is very accurate, with Xiaoxi's scan Yang Yiwei naturally knows that the depth of the passage at this location, the thickness of the uppermost part from the ground is only 5.32 meters. However, the premise is that you have to dig in the right place!

The depth of five or six meters is a matter of twenty minutes for a modern large excavator, and after about twenty minutes, a large pit about five meters square appeared in front of Yang Yiwei, and the depth at the bottom has reached nearly 10 meters, and the water has come out of the bottom, which means that it is unlikely that there will be a passage in this place.

"You see, I know that there can't be anything in the Dao, this treasure map is obviously fake." Yang Yiwei walked up to several old professors, and they had already begun to argue, and the drawings in front of them were the drawings of the treasure map provided by Yang Yiwei.

"Then you can't just stop it, right? Anyway, the park is closed for a day today, or we dig a few more places? Xiao Shikai hesitated for a moment and then asked.

"How to dig, this is the site of the Old Summer Palace, if it is dug on a large scale, it is better to say, what if there is not? And according to our calculations, this place is absolutely based on this treasure map, and it is unlikely that there will be problems with the year-on-year magnified scale, even if there is an error, the error will not be too large. Another professor argued.

"Or expand three meters left and right?" Ji Zhenggang thought for a while and said, "Anyway, this is the wasteland that can be easily restored to its original state, even if it is dug up, it is nothing, it can be restored to the original state, if it is not expanded by three meters left and right, we will discuss it again." Ji Zhenggang's words made several arguing professors hesitate and agreed, after all, the scale can't be determined, so this error is there, and the left and right sides are expanded by three meters, that is to say, a total width of 11 meters, if it can touch the passage, even if it touches the edge, it should be there.

Yang Yiwei smiled bitterly in his heart, there is still an error of more than ten meters from this pit, and it is impossible to dig three meters. "Xiao Yang, don't care, they just talk about things, not that your treasure map is fake." When it was confirmed, Director Shan of the Palace Museum walked over and patted Yang Yiwei on the shoulder.

"Dean Shan, you are too worried, I don't know if the treasure map is true or false when I provide this treasure map, so I handed it over to you to confirm, you can verify it is already a great trust in me, if you can't find it, I will pay for the restoration of the original here." Yang Yiwei hurriedly spoke, of course he wouldn't be serious with those old professors, and people were right to argue, except that Yang Yiwei knew that this was true, who knew if it was true or false?

"Ha Luha, you don't have to worry about this, Xiao Yang, this is our job, and the work of restoring it to the original state doesn't cost much, Xiao Yang, you have already donated a lot of money to the Palace Museum, of course you don't have to pay for this money, the state will pay for it." Dean Shan laughed heartily twice.

The results of the next excavation were obvious, there could be nothing but dirt and dirt, and the quarrel began again. "That, I'll go over and see their solution, Xiao Yang, you can look around for yourself first." Dean Shan saw that there was another fight over there, and hurriedly said to Yang Yiwei.

Yang Yiwei nodded and didn't say anything, and after arguing for more than ten minutes, there was no result, and Yang Yiwei didn't think about how to point out the real location to these old professors. "Wait!" Just when Yang Yiwei was frowning, suddenly there was a loud shout from there, everyone stopped at once, Yang Yiwei also forgot about the past according to the voice, and it was Ji Zhenggang who shouted.

"Wait, I suddenly remembered, if this treasure map was taken by Xiao Yang directly according to the treasure map he bought, the treasure map should be an antiquity from the Ming Dynasty, but after the Old Summer Palace was burned down, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a lot of repair work was carried out here, do you remember that Wanquan River was not where it is now?" Professor Ji Zhenggang said loudly to the seven or eight professors.

As soon as Ji Zhenggang's words came out, the professors' eyes immediately lit up, and one of the professors quickly patted his head and said: "Look at our memory, I will say, Li Xiangyou's book is indeed an old book, since there is a record in the book, it should be eight or nine without leaving ten, and our restoration scale is naturally according to the original location of Wanquan River, Xiao Liu immediately found me the specific location of Wanquan River before 1976, before the Old Summer Palace did not start the repair work." ”

Yang Yiwei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect there to be such a thing, but think about it, later repairs, some slightly unreasonable places must be changed directly, as well as rivers and the like, changing the position of a few meters is not a matter at all, but for the scale, a few meters may have a large error.

Seeing that things have taken a turn for the better, Yang Yiwei is not in a hurry, this is more than three hours, until almost noon, a few old professors calculated the new location, according to their marking, Yang Yiwei immediately smiled on his face, although the entire passage has not yet been included, but it is already half of the range, as long as a large number of stones can be dug up, this proves that the passage exists.
