A look into the backroom on the right reveals that it is the same as the one on the left, and is full of coffins containing white bones of various shapes. After a few whispers to Feng Weiguo, Professor Chen handed over all the places to him, and he took a few people to drag the instruments and a few policemen to the mountain in front.

Professor Chen and his entourage re-scanned the entire mountain and confirmed that there was a karst cave that Zhang Gong said below, and there were still signs of water flowing in the cave. Under Ma Kai's detection, they soon found the sealed entrance to the cave.

Zhang Gong was a little disappointed after using a metal detector around the entrance of the cave and said: "There may not be any findings here, there is no sign of metal." ”

Professor Chen smiled and asked, "What signs do you need?" ”

"Why don't you make some movement, doesn't it imply that there are gold and silver treasures, those are all metal things, they should be detected."

"Don't worry! What is the probing depth of the detector? If you ignore this, it is easy to make wrong judgments in a hurry; In addition, from the perspective of feng shui, this must be a good place, are you afraid that you will not find it? Besides, if a good cave doesn't have any secrets, why block it? Well, let's report this, and then we'll set up camp here, make all the preparations today, and start the work here tomorrow. ”

When Chen Zhijun heard this, he hurriedly said: "I'll transfer the excavator and forklift over now and level this out of a place!" ”

"There is no hurry, this must be communicated with the local government and decided by the local government, and we cannot work beyond the level and blindly."

"Then you can contact them, I'll wait for instructions."

"I have already asked Director Feng to contact him, and there should be news soon, and the attention of the local government is no less than ours."

What are you talking about, just as you are talking, Professor Chen's phone rang, and it was Feng Weiguo calling: "Hey, Director Feng, is there any situation?" ”

Feng Weiguo on the other end of the phone said excitedly: "Professor Chen, the city leaders will come over in a while, and all the members of the leading group will come to solve all the water and electricity problems in the afternoon." ”

"Oh, that's great, then we'll wait for them to come."

Zhang Gong hung up the phone when he saw that Professor Chen had said two words, and asked curiously: "Those officials will all come in a while?" ”

"Yes, it's the right thing to do, it's a big discovery after all."

"What if there's nothing in there, isn't it too big?"

"Don't worry, I'm sure, you continue to explore the area around this cave, make the size and three-dimensional map of the cave, and see if there are any other entrances and exits."

Under Professor Chen's instructions, several people continued to work with the instruments on their backs. Seeing that several of them were busy, Professor Chen asked a policeman beside him: "Comrade, let me ask, how many villages and towns are there around here, do you know how long they have existed in history?" ”

"Well, there are three surrounding villages, the nearest one is to the west, and it is more than three miles away from the country road in front, and the other two are on the north side of the mountain, one on the east side, and two next to each other, and more than seven miles away; There is one near the township, more than 20 kilometers away, and if you ask how many years it has existed, I don't know. ”

"Oh, how's the folk here?"

"I don't know, I have to ask the county bureau in charge of the police station, we are from the city bureau, these are not clear, but on the whole, the incidence of public security cases in this county is not high, and the people's customs should be very good."

"Oh, has there ever been a theft of an ancient tomb here?"

"Yes, the tomb found during the construction of the subway was stolen, and it was not stolen in the early years, but stolen during the excavation, and the case has not been closed until now."

"Okay, thank you."

After asking, Professor Chen carefully studied the mountain under his feet.

Chen Zhijun, who had been following the side, asked puzzledly: "Dad, why did you ask those just now?" ”

"For safety."

"Then you didn't ask that on the hill behind."

"The mountain is high, the back of the mountain is a cliff, not afraid of someone coming up, the west is where you build a tunnel, there are armed police and we guard, the east is also equipped with a number of technical defense equipment, and the entrance to the tomb is guarded by armed police, it is absolutely safe, because there is only one entrance to enter, and this is different, this mountain is basically circular, you can come up on all sides, and the formation of the cave will not have only one entrance to enter and exit, so the security situation here is relatively severe, and I am worried about this."

After more than an hour of exploration, Zhang Gong and the others came back, Ma Kai took out his notes and reported to Professor Chen: "Professor, this karst cave is about more than 5,000 square meters, the maximum height of the space inside is 23 meters, and there are 8 places in the thinnest part of the karst cave, which is less than 4 meters from the thickness of the mountain skin. ”

"Oh, now you can go straight from the cave to the cave?"

"Yes, it's all connected, it's a typical karst cave."

Professor Chen was about to go to the cave to see the details, when a long motorcade appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that Vice Mayor Zhao and his entourage were coming, Professor Chen said to Vice Mayor Zhao: "Mayor Zhao, the discovery here is not certain that there must be an ancient tomb, and from the current conclusion and feng shui perspective, there is an ancient tomb below, so I plan to start preparations in the afternoon." ”

"Professor Chen, you have the final say on everything here, do what you think is possible, and mention directly what support you need, we now fully trust your professional judgment and level."

"You lifted me, in the afternoon, I asked Zhijun to transfer excavators and forklifts from the construction site, and level a place in front of the entrance of the cave to make a camp, now what needs to be solved is the problem of water and electricity, which will trouble Mayor Zhao."

"This is no problem, I will arrange it for you in a while, all the water, electricity, forestry and forestry will be coordinated in place for you, and then the forestry and other departments will let Director Feng go to make up the procedures, logistics, I will arrange a special person to be responsible for food and accommodation, don't worry."

"Okay, thank you so much Mayor Zhao. In addition, because of this special geographical location, there are many places where you can enter the cave, so the technical defense and civil air defense hope that Mayor Zhao will also help coordinate, otherwise we can not afford to be responsible in case of problems. ”

"You can rest assured of this, you can help mark the places that you think are possible, and then the Municipal Public Security Bureau will arrange dozens of people to come over to do security in the afternoon, and then you will arrange someone to accompany them to see the terrain on the spot."

"Thank you so much, we'll start preparing in the afternoon and try to get in early tomorrow morning."

"Professor Chen, with you, we can rest assured, the work on the mountain behind you has ended, and our provinces and cities will jointly make a report and submit it to it, this excavation Director Feng said that all the cultural relics are preserved, which is not easy in the archaeological world, so thank you!"

"It's all that should be done, this excavation is about the support of the provinces and cities, I also described it in detail in my report, without your guarantee, we wouldn't be so smooth, and the rest of the work will be handed over to other groups, and now we will go all out to prepare to take this tomb."
