652. Chapter 18 Old Friends Meet Again Ouyang Ping was ecstatic

"Great." Ouyang Ping was ecstatic. Ouyang Ping always felt that Professor Gu's work was very mysterious, and this contact allowed him to know some knowledge about archaeology again.

Xiao Zhen walked in front, and Ouyang Ping and his party followed behind and walked into the entrance.

It turned out that dozens of reporters who were sitting outside the entrance and resting in the woods suddenly swarmed to follow. But was blocked by another police officer from the entrance.

"Comrade policeman, can you be accommodating, let's go in for an interview, Captain Gu doesn't have time, we're just afraid of some shots!" A reporter pleaded.

"They are comrades from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and they came to Captain Gu for a case to understand the situation. You wait patiently outside, it's a little more than an hour until half past five, and at half past five, the press conference starts on time, and if you don't follow the rules, Professor Koo may cancel the press conference. ”

"Forget it! Let's be honest and patient! A reporter with a camera said.

Dozens of reporters stumbled back into the woods.

Xiao Zhen led everyone to the No. 2 pit, a long and narrow passage, and stopped: "Captain Ouyang, you wait here, I'll go down and talk to Professor Gu." ”

Xiao Zhen walked down a twenty or so earth steps, below the earth steps is a large rectangular deep pit, around the pit are four earth steps, the height of each earth step is about one meter, the width of the first earth step is about thirty meters, the length is about fifty meters, the width of the second earth step is about twenty-eight meters, the length is about forty-eight meters, the width of the third earth step is about twenty-six meters, the length is about forty-six meters, the width of the fourth earth step is about twenty-four meters, the length is about forty-four meters. At the bottom is a deep pit about 22 meters wide and 42 meters long.

The pit was surrounded by a wooden wall of cubes stacked on top of each other, each of which was about 1.5 centimeters long and about 30 centimeters long, similar in shape to the shape of the sleepers that were first placed under the railroad tracks. This rectangular, wood-enclosed pit is supposed to be the burial chamber. According to common sense, the top of the tomb should have been a layer of wood, and now, the wood on top of the tomb has been removed.

The stripped wood was neatly stacked on the northwest corner above the pit. Next to the pile of wood was parked a crane with a long iron chain hanging from its long arm, and a large iron hook under the chain.

On each step of the stairs stood several men with flat-headed shovels in their hands, and the people at the bottom pulled the carefully examined pieces of earth onto the shovels of those standing on the fourth staircase, so that the soil from the pit was transferred to the top from the bottom up.

There were more than a dozen people squatting in the pit, wearing gloves on their hands, holding a small shovel in their right hand, and constantly twisting the broken soil scraped by the small shovel in their left hand.

On top of the improvised greenhouse, there are several large lights. He shines the corners of the pit as if it were day.

At the exit of the narrow passage of Pit 2, there is a tent made of canvas on the left and right sides. Obviously, the tent is where the archaeological team members usually sleep and rest. Judging from the progress of the excavation, Captain Gu and they have been stationed here for a relatively long time.

The three greenhouses are surrounded by bamboo fences more than two meters high. Just looking at the scope of the bamboo fence, you can see how large the scale and formation of this archaeological excavation is, no wonder it has attracted so many reporters.
