Chapter 11 Wet Sand Layer
I have become familiar and accustomed to this monotonous and tedious work. Archaeological scraping work, I liken it to fishing, you don't know if there will be a fish on the bait in the next moment, you can only silently repeat this monotonous action. But suddenly there was a feeling under the hand, something appeared, like a fish on the hook, a sudden joy, which could make people forget all the boredom in front of them.
Team leader Liu not only has to personally participate in scraping, but also constantly go to the four walls to check whether the protection is stable and whether it needs to be reinforced and deepened. It can be said that his workload is the largest, but his enthusiasm is the highest. He was still holding his breath. This probe dug the fastest and deepest, but did not unearth a single large artifact. There are a few pits that are far less advanced than this exploration party, but big ones have been unearthed. The soldiers of this class are very depressed, but squad leader Liu is very confident, and before I came here, he even cheered Song Guilong: As long as we persist, we will definitely gain.
Later, when we got acquainted, he privately revealed to me his thinking at that time: since it is impossible to win the first place in the discovery of cultural relics, and it may even be impossible to achieve great gains in the end, then win the first place in the progress of the project.
The indomitable spirit of this product and the energy to always strive for the first place have always infected me. This exploration pit of ours has been far ahead of other exploration parties in terms of progress. Just like Team Leader Liu promised, I quickly adapted to and mastered the characteristics of desert construction, which can replace Team Leader Liu's work in many ways. I didn't dare to intervene only in the protection of the pit wall, and the wrong one would be fatal.
The works are progressing well. If there is no harvest, it will be smooth. Because you don't stop digging because something happens and you find a big one. Squad leader Liu's goal was achieved, and our exploration pit first dug into the wet sand layer.
Before that, our work surface was on soft quicksand. Even if it is more than ten meters underground, there is no water vapor in the sand, and even if it is pressed very tightly, the flat-headed shovel can easily scrape up a layer. It's still loose when you step on it. When you reach the wet sand layer, the effect is completely different, and the work of scraping the soil is naturally difficult when the feet are hard. What amazed me the most was that in this desolate desert, there was almost no vegetation on the surface, but when I reached this layer, there were many intricate root systems. These root systems crisscross the ground, and there is no way to find the plant itself. The first time I saw it, I was struck by its tenacious vitality.
The pit entered the wet sand layer, which immediately caused a sensation, and all the construction engineers and archaeological team members rushed to visit. Those materials experts who were digging for sand in the extreme distance were also curious to take a look. There is an expert's words that are most representative: if we dig down, we don't need the base to supply us with water.
Although this sentence has a ridiculous meaning, this progress does leave the other excavation teams far behind. The most excited, of course, was squad leader Liu, who asked the soldiers to scrape the wet sand layer to an abnormality in the face of the influx of visitors. This feeling of stepping on hard ground makes the archaeological team members and experts who have been walking on the soft sand for a long time excited. The flat and hard ground not only won squad leader Liu countless praises, but also brought him another idea. "Now that the depth of the pit has increased, the hardness of the ground is very different from before, and I recommend doing an escape drill to adapt to the new changes." He said this to me and the engineer company commander at the same time.
At that time, I was talking to Company Commander Li of the Engineering Corps Company, Captain Xiao Guolin of the archaeological team, and two materials science experts. Squad Leader Liu's proposal was immediately approved by Company Commander Li, and his proposal was very reasonable and timely, and his expression was righteous and awe-inspiring. In fact, as soon as he opened his mouth, I knew what this showy guy had in mind.
Company Commander Li specially called several other squad leaders over to visit, and this time, the scene was in line with squad leader Liu's wishes. There was a circle of people standing around the bottom of the pit, and at the whistle of squad leader Liu, we rushed to the escape cabin very skillfully. The hard ground was really powerful, and I stepped onto the transition pod, turned and entered the sealed pod, and the movements were done in one go. Turning his head, he saw squad leader Liu sitting on seat No. 1. When he saw the second one coming in, his eyes seemed to light up, and I felt like I was relieved. This look on his face made me very unhappy. After a chaotic registration, squad leader Liu shouted into the microphone dissatisfiedly: "It's too slow." Unqualified, do it all over again. "I was dissatisfied with his desire to behave. If it was to practice escape, I would be willing to cooperate with him, but in the current situation, this scene is completely to satisfy his desire to perform. "How is it not qualified?" I slapped the walkie-talkie switch next to me. "I'm wearing a watch, too. Nine seconds, that's the best time, what else do you want? Setting a world record? "Although I turned off the walkie-talkie, there were still two fighters in the sealed cabin, and I was so angry that I showed him so much mercy. But I have the right to say this, and in principle, he is still under my leadership. My categorical veto made squad leader Liu's face embarrassed. However, he also knew that in this matter, he was too demanding and did a little too much, so he immediately compromised: "Nine seconds, the results are so-so, okay, just do what Brother Qiang wants." Saying that, squad leader Liu turned on the walkie-talkie between the sealed cabins, "This escape drill took a total of nine seconds, but it was completed under the condition of greatly improved conditions, and I am not satisfied with this result." Brother Qiang sees everyone's hard work, intercedes with you, for Brother Qiang's sake, this drill ends here. "There was a sigh of relief coming from my headphones, and it seemed that there were many people who were worried about this kind of exhausting exercise. Nine seconds. Company Commander Li was very satisfied with this achievement, and organized a meeting of each squad leader on the spot to praise this achievement created by squad leader Liu as a benchmark. Team leader Liu said modestly: "A little achievement is not worthy of praise. This is what we should do. "Yunyun.
Military personnel hold meetings, as long as they do not need to be kept secret, and their voices are generally very loud. A few colleagues and I were on the other side of the exploration pit, and we all heard Team Leader Liu's words clearly. "Hypocrisy." I sneered. Throughout the day, we were greeted by a flood of visitors. It's not a big deal for the whole project, but it's definitely something new. Some people simply come to escape the heat, compared to the hot and dry environment of other exploration pits, our exploration pit has a great temperature because of the humidity. In the desert, an independent space with moisture is so precious and rare. This feeling is incomprehensible to people who have never worked in the desert.
