Chapter 49: The Eve of the Coffin

Just when everyone surrounded Zhu Gong with great interest and listened to him explain the evolution of cold weapons, Zhang Gong, Chen Zhijun and Feng Weiguo quietly went down the mountain, and in more than 10 minutes, the three of them came to the foot of the mountain in front. This mountain is very low, the altitude is more than 400 meters, compared with the mountains behind, it almost becomes a dirt bag, and there is no momentum at all. Because of the small slope, this mountain contains more soil, and the vegetation is also quite rich, in addition to the pine and cypress trees planted by the local forestry bureau, there are occasionally a few wild pear trees and jujube trees, so that these three people can eat a few bites of pure natural fruits from time to time. Stepping on the soft ground, on the black soil covering layer formed by the decay of fallen leaves for many years, there are no other traces except for the footprints of wild beasts or small animals, and the unique breath of the soil seems to bring the three of them back to ancient times.

Except for the discovery of a large underground cave, several people have not made any new discoveries for the time being. Just as Zhang Gong was about to expand the detection range to the right, Feng Weiguo's mobile phone rang: the team of city leaders personally escorting the cultural relics to the museum came.

When the three of them hurried back, they were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them, and this time the cultural relics escort lineup was quite awesome: 5 armed armored vehicles and 8 police cars. While the box had not been lifted down for some free time, Vice Mayor Zhao, Sun Ju and a few others stood next to the car chatting. As soon as Feng Weiguo saw Vice Mayor Zhao's figure, he immediately ran over to report his work, and as the content of Feng Weiguo's report increased, the surprised expression on Vice Mayor Zhao's face became more serious. If you don't listen to what they say, you know that Feng Weiguo is going to report the matter that is suspected to be a mountain mound.

Seeing that Professor Chen had come down, Vice Mayor Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Professor Chen, have you found another ancient tomb?" ”

Professor Chen frowned and squinted at Feng Weiguo and said: "I'm not sure, it's just a preliminary analysis of the scene on the glazed pottery, there are many true and false things in history, and now it's not too rigorous to say that it is an ancient tomb or something, it can only be said to be a mountain mound; From the perspective of feng shui, the small mountain bag on the opposite side is the same as this, one is the dragon ascending to heaven, and the other is the dragon coming out of the water, both of which are feng shui treasures, so the hints found so far are just information and have not been determined. ”

"Oh, I see, that means that the other tomb is still unknown for the time being, maybe it's a prank, right?"

"I don't rule out this possibility, the ancients played a lot of false and real things, and true and false information needs to be verified by facts to be clear."

"Okay, then let's not ask about the unknown, by the way, which of you will go to the museum today?"

"We won't go today, we will have to confirm the handover here, and when this excavation is completed, some things should be collected by your museum, and some things should be exhibited here for a few days."

"Yes, that's great, you can mention what you want from us, if it is confirmed that it will be exhibited, then our city will fully support it, and we can start mobilizing and publicizing it now."

"Mayor Zhao is polite, we don't have any requirements, there are too many troubles for you during this time, now I just hope that our work will be completed smoothly; I don't know how it will go for the time being, but when I enter the main burial chamber tomorrow, I can give the time after reading the back room. ”

"Okay, let us know if you need anything, and we'll fully cooperate! Director Feng said that he was now preparing a box for large cultural relics, and let Mr. Chen do it first, but the money could not be made out of Mr. Chen, and we would reimburse all the expenses. ”

Several boxes were not carried by the old horses this time, and were directly moved down by the public security police, and after being moved down for handover, they were loaded and set off.

Watching the convoy leave, Professor Chen asked, "Lao Zhang, how about taking a look over there?" ”

"Nothing was found."

"Don't believe the hints on the glazed pottery one-sidedly, blindly go up to probe, or use some feng shui, these can help you avoid detours."

"Well, I'll go when the coffin opening is done."

"By the way, Director Feng, how are the preparations before the coffin opened?"

"Don't worry, in order to deal with the possible complete corpses, a long plexiglass container will be sent early tomorrow morning, and if there are really dried corpses, etc., they will be put in and vacuumed, and then supplemented with nitrogen, if you think it can't be done, liquid nitrogen will be stored at ultra-low temperature."

"There is no need for liquid nitrogen, as long as it is an oxygen-free environment, it is basically fine, and there is no big problem with adding inert gas, prepare, as long as you are fully prepared, if the corpse in the tomb is finished, forget it, this is providence, if it is well preserved, then it cannot be destroyed in our hands, so we must find a way to be foolproof."

"Well, if it's a wet corpse, then use his original coffin liquid to preserve it, and if it's dry, vacuum and pour nitrogen."

"Well, yes, let's just prepare."

Seeing that Feng Weiguo went to explain to the comrades of local archaeology, Professor Chen pulled Zhang Gong aside and said, "Lao Zhang, did you find anything?" ”

Although Lao Zhang thought it was ridiculous to see Professor Chen's mysterious appearance, he knew that Professor Chen would only show this when he was particularly cautious, so he didn't tease him anymore and told him about the discovery of the cave.

However, when Professor Chen asked about the details of the cave, Zhang Gong could not answer, so he could only wait for a new exploration.

With the aroma of the meal, today's celebration feast began. In the few days that Professor Chen was hospitalized, the conditions for drinking here have improved a lot, and there is no longer a need to look for cups everywhere, and now these twenty or so glasses are enough for these people to make a fuss. After everyone's wine glasses were full, Professor Chen stood up and began to guide the topic: "Comrades, today we have successfully cracked the Jiugong diagram and the flap mechanism, and also sealed the cultural relics in the left ear room. The old rules, those who have been on the ground know that there must be a celebration banquet in the evening when there are major achievements, and there must be a tradition of personal testimonials, so today, as the team leader, I will first say that today we solved the Jiugong Diagram organ in a short time In addition to thanking luck, we also thank us for our past experience and absolute self-confidence! When making a decision, if you are already very sure of your own ideas, and then blindly follow the opinions of others and shake your judgment, it is often easier to make mistakes, so I borrow this to tell you, archaeology is full of unknowns and challenges, you have to trust yourself, don't be confused, otherwise it will definitely be a mistake into a thousand years of hatred, archaeology often will not give you a way back. Ask ourselves, why do we study archaeology, and then look outside, how many people who study archaeology are still doing archaeology? Since we have chosen, whether it is an ancient tomb or an ancient ruin, all kinds of challenges will accompany us, the challenge is not from the outside world, but from our heart, as long as our heart is still pure, those challenges will not exist, today, there are so many cultural relics in the ear chamber, I can responsibly tell you that any one can be sold on the black market for hundreds of thousands, and even individual can reach tens of millions of dollars! But today we have not found any loss of cultural relics, so I thank you all for your loyalty to the archaeological cause! Thank you all for being heroes! ”
