Chapter 434: Archaeological Notes
As he spoke, another horn sounded outside the door, and a black off-road vehicle had already arrived. Driving was a woman with dyed brown hair, a ponytail, and a black baseball cap, and her beautiful figure and pleated skin could not be associated with another nickname: the little witch.
Her name is Leng Yiran, and this is the first time she has come here since the accident of the youngest son of the Cha family. Many years have passed, and she still can't forget that incident, if it wasn't for her father today, she is afraid that she would not have the courage to step into the door of the Cha family again.
"Can I go in?". She whispered to her father, she had been buried in the institute all these years, unwilling to go out, and the family had been anxious about her state, but they all knew that the knot in her heart had to wait until he could untie it. Therefore, this time, Director Leng also took this opportunity to let Cha Wenbin help his daughter get out of that hurdle.
Her father smiled at her and said, "Let's go, we're all old friends." Leng Yiran raised his chest, took a deep breath, and puffed out his cheeks.
Before entering the door, she still showed her signature smile, cleared her throat and shouted, "Brother Wen Bin? ”
opened the door, a figure rushed out, it was Chaozi, he picked up Leng Yiran and spun around in the air a few times, and the people who provoked him kept beating him and said: "Bastard, let me down!" ”
Maybe it's been a long time since we've seen each other, and everyone is excited, teasing and talking to each other. Cha Wenbin has already looked down on the past over the years, and it is really no wonder that Leng Yiran is that incident, he also greeted him with a smile, but Leng Yiran still had a dodging look when he faced him.
In the living room, Zhao Yunxiao couldn't wait to pull Director Leng and ask him to explain this file that had been sealed for a long time to Cha Wenbin.
There is indeed a very special story hidden in this file, if it weren't for Zhao Yunxiao turning over this file, maybe it would continue to sleep, because no one wanted to open it again.
Back then, when the Youling Tunnel was built, a blasting accident caused a life to be lost at the construction site, but no one expected that this accident would involve more people, and no one thought that there was a tombstone on the col of the Youling Tunnel that had been lying quietly for eight years.
The accident was half accidental, half man-made. When the project progressed to a critical point, it was necessary to blow up a gap, according to the situation at the time, the blasters used enough explosives, and after a shot was fired, it was found that only a small crater was blown up. After cleaning the site, they found that the underside of this "rock" was extremely hard, and there was a mezzanine layer poured with copper water.
At that time, the awareness of cultural preservation was not as strong as it is now, and the construction party transferred a drilling rig to penetrate the interlayer and re-bury several times the equivalent of explosives. With a bang, the gap was blown open, and the stones mixed with the bronze plates flew out like shrapnel, and the man was cut off half of his head.
After the accident, the investigation team was stationed at the scene as soon as possible, and in addition to the aftermath, it is more important to investigate the cause of the accident. And the gap that was blown open left a big hole, which was unfathomable, and the sound of humming could be heard from far away lying outside. There were elderly people at the construction site who said that there was a dragon living there, and they had destroyed the dragon veins, so people died, and this thing was to be punished. Later, no one dared to continue the work, and the investigation team thought that this might be an ancient tomb, so they handed over the situation to the archaeological team at that time.
At that time, Chaozi was still serving as a soldier in Tibet, and this project was in charge of a closed disciple of Director Leng, that is, Leng Yiran's senior brother. This person's name is Wang Jun, a native of Beijing, and after graduation, he was assigned to the Provincial Institute of Archaeology. This time, because of the appearance of bronze pieces, the task was given to Wang Jun, and he took three interns to the construction site of Youling.
The construction project encounters unearthed cultural relics, generally in order not to delay the progress of the national project to take rescue excavations, the noble tombs of a generation of more than one generation in the northwest of Zhejiang, the unearthed bronze is reasonable. So Wang Jun also started from this angle at the beginning, and when he came to the scene, he found that the pit was a little incredible, and the rope of nearly 100 meters could not be put down to the end. Moreover, the bronze pieces left on the scene were different from what he had touched before, both in terms of texture and shape.
Wang Jun reported the discovery to the provincial team, but it did not attract attention, because the archaeological team was very busy at that time and there was indeed a shortage of manpower. The events that happened later were sorted out and included in the archives in the archaeological notes left by Wang Jun.
The notebook was also mixed in with the file, a typical workbook from the '90s, with Wang Jun's name neatly written on the bottom of the yellow vellum cover, and the unit was the provincial archaeological team.
Director Leng flipped through the last few pages with notes and said, "Start reading here." ”
There are six entries in the diary. The first three of them are separated by one article per day, while the fourth and fifth articles are separated by one day, and the last one is separated by three full days from the fifth article. The first three articles are not long, and they briefly describe the work of the day, and according to the diary, Wang Jun went in alone the next day.
4/4/93, Cloudy
The depth measured yesterday was more than 100 meters, and I personally judged that this is not an ancient tomb, but more like a huge underground project. Two 100-meter ropes were connected, and the initial depth of 140 meters was finally discovered. There are doubts: the bronze layer is buried under the rock layer, the formation of the rock takes hundreds of millions of years, why these bronze layers appear in the rock, take sample A1 and send it to the provincial team to analyze the bronze casting time.
4/5/93, Cloudy
The weather continued to be gloomy and the light was not very abundant. I went down to about 80 meters by myself and didn't see the low at a glance. There is a "whirring" sound in the cave, but there is no wind, it seems to be emitted by some kind of animal, the light is very poor, there is fog in the cave, and the visibility is very low.
4/6/93, Sunny
The weather finally improved, and the first attempt descended to the bottom. It was surprisingly flat, with a large area and traces of human activity, and the situation was much more complicated than I thought. There are not enough manpower and equipment, so you have to report and ask for instructions.
According to Director Leng's recollection, on April 7, Wang Jun returned to the provincial capital to report the situation to him, but he and He Lao led the team into the mountain and failed to get in touch.
4/8/93, Sunny
A colleague in charge of the garrison disappeared last night, and someone who watched the construction site reported that they saw him jump into the pit last night, and I took Chen Sheng down with him, but no one was found, only a button was left at the scene. The button is our field training uniform, and the situation may have deteriorated a little, so we must return to the provincial capital tomorrow to ask for reinforcements.
On April 9, Wang Jun returned to the provincial capital again and reported to the public security and higher-level authorities, which were recorded in the file.
April 10, 93, cloudy
Chen Sheng and Li Chengmin also disappeared last night, and I didn't have time to wait for their arrival.
On April 13, 93, the weather was unknown
It's been three full days, I've run out of water and food, I've reached my limit, I can hear the rescue team, but this damn door seals everything. The crushing voice came again, and I thought, I have to keep finding my way out......
In the end, the handwriting on this diary is already crooked, people in that era have a good hard pen calligraphy, Wang Jun's first few diaries are very neat, but this one seems to be written in a hurry under extreme circumstances.
Cha Wenbin took the diary and said, "Where is he now?" ”
Director Leng's expression was a little stiff, and he seemed very reluctant to mention the past: "I didn't find it, the day after Wang Jun went down for the last time, our rescue team arrived, and later even dispatched the army." We blew open a stone door, and found the notebook behind the stone door, and the whereabouts of the four team members are still unknown. ”
"And then?"
"You remember Lao Wang." Director Leng suddenly proposed this name, and a complicated look flashed in Cha Wenbin's focused expression: "He was there at the time?" ”
"Yes, he came to us at that time, and was sent down from above. It was a big incident, and two platoons of people went in to search, but in the end only 19 people came out. ”
"Why haven't I heard my dad mention this?" Chaozi interjected.
"No, we people will never want to mention it again. Originally, we as scientists were supposed to be atheistic, but that place made me believe for the first time that impossible things really exist. Later, it was temporarily closed, because National Highway 104 is the lifeblood of transportation, and the superiors decided to bury this matter first, so it was sealed for so many years. If you hadn't asked about that place, I don't think anyone would have wanted to mention it anymore. ”
Cha Wenbin asked, "What happened?" ”
"Ghosts, ghosts everywhere, may be, in your words, dirty things; For me, I'm more willing to explain that place with the paranormal. ”
