Chapter 1161: All Gone
Seeing Zhou Xuan coming, Director Li hurriedly introduced to the cultural relics experts that the Yitian Sword was discovered by Zhou Xuan, and he did not take it for himself, but handed it over to the country as soon as possible.
Experts have given a thumbs up and praised, they have held two seminars in order to rely on the heavenly sword, the unearthing of this sword, the study of the weapon culture of the Later Han Dynasty, has played a great role in promoting.
When the jade coffin was carefully removed from the car, the cultural relics experts held their breath, not daring to imagine that there could be such a lifelike woman in the thousand-year-old jade coffin.
"It's more perfect than I imagined, and I wonder if she's still alive?" An expert asked excitedly.
"Of course it can't be, but it's unprecedented." An old man said with certainty that this person was Sima Ze, the master of the cultural relics world.
"It's so precious, I haven't dared to touch it, and besides, this jade coffin looks like it's all in one, and I don't know how to open it." Director Li introduced.
"The ancients may have designed a mechanism, otherwise, how did people put it in?" Another expert said.
"The jade coffin is transparent, how can it hide a mechanism?" Director Li raised objections, which is a clear thing.
"If the jade quality is the same, it can also be nested perfectly." Sima said, took out a magnifying glass, and looked carefully around the jade coffin.
Zhou Xuan's heart was always hanging, for fear that they would see the clues, but as a result, Sima Ze laughed and said, "I found it, the same as I said, that is, a card slot of the same jade is used to nest the lid in it." ”
This is naturally the masterpiece of Tang Taosheng and others, but I didn't expect that even senior cultural relics experts were deceived.
The experts took out the magnifying glass one after another and began to look around the jade coffin, and the runes engraved by the computer were rounded, and no problems were found.
According to the above eight words, as well as the clothing of the woman in the coffin, the experts present unanimously concluded that the jade coffin came from the late Eastern Han Dynasty and must be a noble woman.
"Maybe it's the concubine of our Sima royal family." Sima joked.
"That's the Western Jin Dynasty."
"It's not that far off."
Jade is different from gold and bronze ware, the latter can be used to determine the age, while the former cannot be determined and can only be analyzed by relying on culture. The woman in the jade coffin did not wear any jewelry, and the experts wanted to get a piece of fabric from her to make further accurate judgments.
Then, the experts held a short meeting on the spot to demonstrate the feasibility of opening the jade coffin.
The experts talked and finally came to the unanimous conclusion that the coffin could be opened, a piece of cloth could be taken out, and then immediately closed, which should not have much impact on the female corpse in it.
"I'm afraid it's not good, if it suddenly opens under a long-term sealed condition, it will definitely affect the inside." Zhou Xuan disagreed, in fact, he was very glad that he didn't bring the real jade coffin.
"The current conditions for opening the coffin are not available, and it can also be dragged back." An elderly expert advises.
"There are several large tombs in my country, all of which are in a state of protection, and non-rescue excavations do not advocate opening coffins." Another foreign expert emphasized.
"Of course, it is not completely opened, before we came, we made an extremely thin blade from the jade coffin, if it can be inserted into it, it can be bent, even if we can get some clothing fibers, it is a huge progress in the archaeological community." Sima was a proactive advocate.
"Will it get into the air?" Director Li asked worriedly.
"It's impossible to say nothing, but it's not enough to cause corruption in the things inside." Sima said again.
The experts met to discuss, and more people were inclined to Sima Ze's statement, and they could stop when they saw that the situation was not good.
Zhou Xuan couldn't help but wanted to leave, but Director Li didn't let him go, hoping to witness the moment of the miracle together. Zhou Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, glad that he didn't bring the real jade coffin over, if it could be opened, Zhou Xuan believed that the woman who looked like Miao Lin inside would definitely be dissected.
According to Sima Ze's request, two young staff members took a delicate long stainless steel container, opened it with an extremely thin blade, and slowly inserted it according to the gap in the jade coffin under the magnifying glass.
But seeing that it could be inserted, everyone showed a surprised expression, held their breath and continued to stuff the blade in, and when they reached the middle position, it was a little stuck, and the blade arched slightly, indicating that the resistance was not small.
The staff looked back at Sima Ze, but he didn't want to give up, nodded and gestured to continue, the staff used a little force, and after a slight friction sound, the blade suddenly broke through the resistance, and the other end had already appeared in the jade coffin.
"Congratulations on success!" Sima smiled, and in this way, he could try to bend and even hook a piece of clothing with a special blade.
Zhou Xuan's heart couldn't help but hang, the clothes were also fake, as long as the blade touched, the problem would be discovered.
"No, close it!"
At this moment, Sima suddenly let out an exclamation, and the rest of the people also widened their eyes in surprise. It can be seen with the naked eye that the whole female corpse inside has begun to turn black, as if it is shrouded in a layer of mist, the clothes are turning into ashes, and the beautiful body has begun to shrink and deform, and it is an abomination in an instant.
The staff hurriedly pulled out the blade and sealed the gap, but it was too late, just under everyone's noses, the female corpse began to dissolve and differentiate, together with the clothes, turned into a cloud of black gas enveloping the entire jade coffin, but the gas began to expand, and the gap where the blade was inserted was washed open, and the gas as thick as liquid continued to erupt, and the inside of the jade coffin also quickly volatilized, and the gap became larger under high pressure, and finally the color in the jade coffin became lighter and lighter until it disappeared, it was all gone, and there was nothing inside.
Sima covered his chest and almost fainted, and the rest of the experts were also silent, knowing that they were in trouble.
Such a precious female corpse oxidized and disappeared like this, and it disappeared so completely that they didn't know how to explain it to their superiors.
The air in the jade coffin has been evacuated by experts such as Tang Taosheng, and the materials used to make the female corpse, once it encounters air, will quickly oxidize and decompose, leaving no traces, which has also been designed a long time ago, in order not to let the archaeological experts seize any handles.
Director Li's expression was very ugly, and he never advocated opening the coffin, unless it was a foolproof opening environment. It was all tinkered up by this group of extremely curious experts, but such a mixture of air would have such serious consequences and surprise everyone.
Fortunately, there is a video recording throughout the whole process, otherwise, it is not clear, and he doesn't have to do it.
The jade coffin became empty, although there was still some research value, but it did not need to be protected anymore, Zhou Xuan offered to leave, Director Li and the archaeological experts were in a bad mood, and they did not send each other.
