Chapter 16: Summary of the first day
Continue to move the light forward, the structure inside the ancient tomb is already clear: the central bulge of the temple is more than one meter high, more than 80 square meters of platform, surrounded by a ditch like a river, there are four stone bridges connected in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, and there are cases in the middle, which seem to be placed on it. In the middle of the rear is a tall stone sculpture, and there are some animal stone sculptures of about 2 meters on both sides. Looking at the time, it was almost six o'clock, Professor Chen discussed with everyone and decided to continue to go deeper tomorrow.
In the tunnel, Professor Chen organized a summary meeting for the first day.
After Professor Chen's opening remarks and discussion, Zhang Gong spoke first: "I think today went very well, this is a good start. ”
Zhu Gong participated and responded to Zhang Gong: "It is indeed very smooth, now it is only in front of the Hades Temple, and the real danger and the identity of the tomb owner will also begin to be reflected in the Hades Temple." ”
"That's true, but being positive can be regarded as encouragement and motivation, haha, don't let the local comrades think that we old guys are also those experts on TV."
Hearing Zhang Gong mention those experts on TV, Feng Weiguo asked curiously: "Zhang Gong, what's wrong with those experts on TV?" ”
"Haha, do you usually watch any antique appraisal TV shows? What do you think? ”
"I've watched a few, CCTV has a treasure appreciation program, hosted by Wang Gang, it's okay."
"Have you watched the local satellite TV?"
"I've seen it, it's too exaggerated."
"Haha, it's too exaggerated because they're performing, scolding bricks on the Internet is scolding them like that, there is no theory and no practice, and they show their faces to sell their faces to teach people the way, and really give them an ancient fake, absolutely say 100% genuine, and the genuine products may be considered parallel goods to them."
"Zhang Gong, why do they perform? Isn't it live? ”
Just ask Professor Chen, why didn't he go to the TV program? Because he felt fake, he always insisted on only giving speeches at school or forums. What you watch is not a live broadcast, but a post-editing and synthesis after recording, and then sent to the station for broadcast, which is similar to making a movie. ”
Professor Chen saw that the topic was far away and it was not suitable to go deeper, so he interrupted: "Lao Zhang, far away, let's talk about today's results and tomorrow's arrangements." ”
"Well, today's results are pretty good! This point is worth affirming, through the stone door mechanism and the crossbow mechanism, my personal analysis is the product of the Han Dynasty or the Three Kingdoms period, earlier than the Han Dynasty The mechanism required a large space, and it is not so exquisite, the hole is twisted by 90 °, even if it is amplified by the lever principle below, the original balance of the door and the counterweight are switched, it also requires a lot of space to put the counterweight, this can not be omitted, the stone door is heavy, the counterweight is heavy, how can the stone gate be about 5 tons, where is the 5 ton stone counterweight? It is nothing more than digging a cave to hang, but we don't know where this cave is, we can only wait for tomorrow; When it comes to the machine crossbow, it can be clear, through the gap detection, we know that the width of 32 cm to place the machine crossbow and arrows, now we know that the length of the arrow is 8 to 9 cm, which was extremely delicate in the past, the machine crossbow is disposable, indicating that the development of the mechanism has not yet reached a more developed stage, but it has been very much in pursuit of perfection, according to records and past discoveries, this is in line with the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. ”
"So how do you think we're going to be sure of what you're saying if we're stagnant now?"
"Simple, tomorrow we will use ground penetrating radar to detect the cave, and also locate the location for the later dismantling mechanism."
"Okay, tomorrow we will further clean up the periphery, and then carry out ground exploration work, determine the cave chamber where the mechanism is placed, and then go in to study the structure inside, and remove as much as possible if it can be removed, which has comprehensive value and significance."
Feng Weiguo heard that the dismantled mechanism had momentum, and asked excitedly: "Is the dismantled mechanism left in our local museum?" ”
Professor Chen raised his head and looked at Feng Weiguo and said: "There will not be all the places, and the unearthed objects with special value and significance will be coordinated by relevant departments and put into the collection of the National Museum." ”
"Oh, will that like a crossbow or something, stay with us?"
"This should be possible, see what the crossbow looks like, if it has been unearthed before, it is not special, it should be able to stay with you, but the specific needs depend on the above arrangement, we will submit a detailed list of all excavations."
"Great, such institutions are rare in museums everywhere, and many of them were destroyed during excavations, which is a pity."
"Yes, in addition to natural decay, some barbaric excavations have also caused great damage to cultural relics," Professor Chen continued to bring the topic back after answering Feng Weiguo's words: "After today's cooperation, it has also been found that the comrades of local archaeology have a poor foundation, so I personally feel that it is risky and dangerous for them to enter the Hades Temple tomorrow, and it will also delay the progress of the work, so I suggest that they work outside the tomb tomorrow." ”
Zhang Gong took over the topic and said: "Agree with this decision, after the ground exploration work is completed tomorrow, see if there are any finds, let them go in if there is, and give them the opportunity to exercise." ”
Feng Weiguo thought for a while and said: "Personally, I think it's okay for them to do some piecemeal, but what kind of secret passages to enter, etc., they are not suitable, and they can't control the risks, and they are afraid that they will be damaged." ”
Professor Chen said: "This decision is indeed inappropriate, it can give them a chance, but their current state is not suitable for their own affairs, many local comrades have not seen real ancient tombs, have no concept of unknown dangers, and lack awareness of the protection of cultural relics, as can be seen from their mess in warding off evil spirits; If the earth exploration really finds the cave tomorrow, let Ma Kai take them, Ma Kai, are you confident? ”
"That's fine, but what if people don't accept me when they see that I'm young?" Ma Kai said hesitantly.
Hearing Ma Kai's hesitation, Feng Weiguo immediately took over the conversation and said: "This does not exist, they are also temporarily called to put it bluntly, and the salary is still taken, and it is said that it is work here, and there is no workload; In addition, they are passionate about archaeology, and if they are asked to do odd things, they may not be very motivated, but they are definitely willing to do what opens their eyes! You are young, but you have a lot of experience, you have a lot of knowledge, and I believe that you can use your knowledge to tell them what to respect. ”
Ma Kai looked at Professor Chen, Professor Chen nodded affirmatively at him and said: "Ma Kai, you have always been my student, and you have intermittently had 7 years of archaeological experience with me, and you have also experienced many ancient tomb excavations. ”
Zhang Gong also echoed and cheered Ma Kai: "Yes, Ma Kai, among Professor Chen's many students, you are different." ”
Professor Chen saw that Ma Kai's eyes had changed, and he was no longer hesitant, so he said: "Then let's decide, tomorrow Qin Gong will do the ground exploration work, and then draw a detailed cave distribution map, after the stage of detection, Ma Kai will take the local comrades to carry out the demolition work, and at the same time do a good job of the specific location distribution map, take photos and record all the details before and after the demolition, and seal the demolished cultural relics for safekeeping." The rest of the personnel all entered the Hades Temple, and they had a premonition that there was a big problem in the Hades Temple. The TV station also let him follow into the temple of the underworld, and from tomorrow all the light sources will be cold light sources, do you have any opinions? ”
After the unanimity of the vote, the programme of work for tomorrow was thus determined.
