It took half a day, and the old man Li Yunshan and the other six people quickly crawled out of the underground waterway.

After that, almost everyone didn't even have time to rest, and began to make phone calls and seconded the engineering team.

But it is clear that seconding such a large engineering team is far from simple.

Although it is said that the old man Li Yunshan and other archaeological experts are all affiliated with Huaxia, and they have the right to mobilize engineering teams to archaeology in theory, most of them are privileges that can only be used when making large-scale discoveries, and the approval process is also quite cumbersome.

And even if it's approved, it's not so simple to get it seriously.

After all, a place like Qilian Mountain is already remote and full of dense forests, and it is a big expense to mobilize various engineering teams.

Especially this time, the relics are still in the cracks of the mountain, whether it is the difficulty of excavation or the scale of excavation, at first glance, it must be a large project to break the mountain and dig the mountain, whether it is the scale or the elite level, it must be a large-scale engineering team.

The most important thing is that such archaeological professional excavations basically do not have much profit, most of them are paid backwards, and the excavated cultural relics may not be placed in the museum in their own area

Therefore, this has led to the fact that the old man Li Yunshan and others have been extremely slow in approving and approving the orders of several surrounding municipal areas and military regions.

Although the municipal and military districts of the ancient Xianyang area sent people over as soon as possible, it was obvious that it was still not enough.

More than a week has passed, and with the addition of the Gu Xianyang area, only about half of the manpower has been mobilized.

If you want to completely excavate the ruins, it is clear that these are not enough.

In order to gather enough manpower and troops, the old man Li Yunshan even walked out of the mountains in person to visit the half-pillars of various municipal areas and military regions.

But even so, the progress is still extremely difficult, especially when the evidence of Li Yunshan and others is not very sufficient, whether it is the military or the municipal districts, the approval procedures are extremely complicated and cumbersome.

Seeing that time passed day by day, just when the old man Li Yunshan was in a hurry, at the last critical moment, Chu Yi, the little best friend who had been sticking with Ye Qingyao in the past, appeared on the stage.

She hesitated for a long time, not knowing who to call, and after Barabala's call, within a few days the approval of a municipal district was issued.

"Xiao Yi! Who did you call to? After so many years, you still have this hand? Ye Qingyao's beautiful eyes were bright, she pinched her best friend's soft face excitedly, spoke happily, and kissed hard.

"It's so-so. It has nothing to do with me, it's all up to my father, hehe" Chu Yi smiled, revealing two cute little tiger teeth,

"A thumbs up for you!"

With Chu Yi's help, the manpower and approval work are finally almost a toss-up.

But even so, it still took a lot of time to get started.

After all, the location of the ruins is too deep, and it took two weeks just to relocate the workers of the engineering team and various equipment and instruments.

The helicopter roared, hoisting parts of several large engineering aircraft and gradually assembling them.

By the time everything was ready, almost half a month had passed.

Coupled with the time that the old man Li Yunshan ran errands one after another, almost a month has passed.

However, although the preparation time was long, after the preparation was completed, the ability of the engineering team still did not disappoint the old man Li Yunshan.

In just one day, the professional exploration team has explored many tracks of the underground river through instruments.

"We found a large hole here, and there seems to be something in it, but the exact content is not known for the time being." The person in charge of the engineering team spoke to the old man Li Yunshan like this.

Looking at the exploration map of this project, the old man Li Yunshan's eyes were bright: "That's right! This is where we were before, and if you guessed correctly, this is where the ruins are! ”

"When digging, you must be safe, you can't destroy this place, there are also many key locations in the underground river, and you must not easily destroy it."

Hearing this, the person in charge of the engineering team frowned slightly.

This location is still very simple if it is excavated directly.

But if you want to maintain its stability, it will be difficult, and you can only use the most primitive method, slowly digging through it from top to bottom.

Because of the geological changes over the past thousands of years, the mountains here are not very stable, and if you use a little similar blasting, giant machinery, etc., it may cause the mountain to be disordered, and it is very likely to cause many adverse effects below.

"Maybe it will take a little longer." After a moment's thought, the person in charge of the engineering team spoke.

"It's okay!" Long before the mobilization, the old man Li Yunshan had been preparing for a long time.

The person in charge of the "OK" engineering team nodded: "Then let's start!" ”

Then it's time to dig.

After the excavation plan was determined in one day, the large-scale excavation project began.

The ancient jungle was bulldozed by modern machines, and a huge roar of machinery resounded for the first time in this land of thousands of years.

Countless animals scattered and fled.

One engineer after another, busy in the mountains and fields, explored many details and locations.

While they were busy, a professional staff member went to the underground area to prepare to strengthen the underground river channel to protect the safety of cultural relics.

Of course, during these operations, many of the staff ensured absolute safety, and only entered the underground river when the work was stopped, rested, or worked from a distance.

After all, it was only the beginning of the project, and the mountain was huge, and they explored the underground river channel and found that it was located in the lower part of the mountain, which had not changed or collapsed for hundreds of years, and at the beginning, it was relatively safe after all.

While the survey was underneath, many engineering teams had already begun to excavate in the outermost part of the mountain.

No doubt.

Such a large groundbreaking project is destined to take a long time.

If you don't say ten days and half a month, you may not be able to stop it for two or three months.

Due to the topography, large machinery and equipment cannot be used in many places, so the most primitive method can only be used, and workers with small work equipment can start digging from weak points.

In the scorching summer, one worker after another worked on the mountain.

They are everywhere.

For all this, the workers of the many engineering teams did not have any objection too much.

Large instruments can't be used, so small ones are, but it's just faster and slower.

Moreover, this trip work, it seems that there is a big boss who subsidizes and helps, and all the workers have received twice the salary, even if they work for an extra month, it is a full and stable income.

And as professional engineering team members, many of them have been doing this for many years, but it is really the first time to encounter archaeological excavations, and the scale is so large, many people are quite excited.

What's even happier is that after they have dug to a certain extent, they will occasionally dig up some ancient fragments in the land.

It's a pity that most of these fragments are broken, mottled, and covered with all kinds of rust.

Even if it is old, it no longer has much cultural value, let alone any economic value.

For these broken pottery, occasionally one or two pieces of broken iron and the like, many archaeologists have also carefully collected them, but most of them have little identification value, and will eventually be reassembled and buried back into the ground.

After digging for more than ten days in a row, a lot of various things have been excavated, and the most precious one is just a fragment of Yujue.

About two fingers wide and about six centimeters long, it was excavated in a rocky patch of earth.

On this jade, there are ancient patterns carved, and there is only half of the text left, which can barely be identified as the word "law".

"Law? What does that mean? Jurisprudence, Decree? ”

The archaeologists were puzzled, and their curiosity about the ruins under their feet intensified.

What's down here?

According to the history of the wilderness, it is a relic that was ordered to be built by the First Emperor when he ascended the throne, and there are indeed records of the ruins found in it.

But moving on, in the underground canal, a large number of claw marks and strange words were found.

And now, the jade jue with the word 'law' has been excavated.

What's in there?

Things are getting more and more confusing.

However, although there are doubts, more and more excavations, more and more excavations, have given archaeologists great confidence!

"There must be ruins down here!"

"Dig fast!"

But this quiet digging time didn't last long.

About a week or so after the excavation began, some people began to notice that something was not right.

The first to notice something was wrong were the workers who were reinforcing the remains of the river in the underground waterways

"Huh?"

"Isn't there something wrong?"

In the pitch-black underground channel, ten searchlights are shining, and they are advancing in the icy underground channel.

But as I walked, suddenly a light stopped.

He looked around with some confusion.

"Have we been to this place before?"

"Been here?"

Hearing his words, several other lights also stopped, shining around.

"Didn't you?"

"This underground river is just such a road, how can you come here?"

These 10 people are the third squad of the underground team of the engineering team, and they are responsible for the reinforcement and consolidation of the underground river.

This time, it is to fix a section of the underground river.

Now that it has been fixed, I am about to go back to the outside and get the steel bar again.

"Really?" The figure was puzzled and muttered, "I always feel like this place has just walked past"

The yellow helmet on his head was shining, and the other nine people looked at the dark river and uneven rocks around them, and spoke helplessly.

"You're wrong, right? Walking in such a closed environment all the time does create the hallucination that you have been there before. ”

"More than ninety percent of them are wrong."

"How can you walk through such a river?"

Hearing the words of his companions, the man also scratched his head with some uncertain doubts.

"Delusion?"

With doubts, the man didn't think much about it after all, followed the team, and continued to walk forward.

But walking and walking.

Everyone noticed that something seemed to be wrong.

Because the place where they were erected was not very far from the ground.

On a normal day, it only takes about half an hour to get back to the ground.

But now

"What's going on?"

"We've been walking for almost forty minutes, haven't we? Why haven't you returned to the surface yet? ”

One of the engineers looked at his watch and frowned.

"I don't know, it stands to reason that it's almost there."

The remaining engineers said suspiciously, and the remaining engineers gradually frowned.

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't"

Before the word 'should' could be spoken, the engineer who walked in front suddenly widened his eyes, looked at the scene ahead, and blurted out a dirty word!

"My grass?!"

"What's going on!"

Everyone was stunned, and then hurriedly ran up.

However, when they saw what the man was seeing, their pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pintip!

Because in front of it, a steel frame appeared at some point!

These steel frames are scattered around in a certain pattern, supporting the top and bottom of the river, and are responsible for holding the area steadily, shining with an icy sheen in the dark cave.

And this piece of steel frame that supports the cave

It wasn't long ago that they were responsible for supporting the area!

"Why am I back again?"

Seeing this scene, an engineer's eyes widened suddenly!

He panicked, "Didn't we go along the river before? How did you get back here now?! ”

Not only him, but several other engineers were also a little dumbfounded!

They hurried forward and carefully observed.

The silver solid steel frame is erected in the cave, like a spider web, densely supporting this place, crisscrossing and criss-crossing.

After a short period of observation, everyone's faces gradually began to turn ugly.

That's right!

This is the steel frame they erected earlier!

But what is the situation?

How did you come back again???
