Chapter 386: Digging

The snow-covered green hills are covered in silver makeup, magnificent and natural.

The mountains are like dragons, the rivers are like jade belts, the peaks are like beautiful women, and the fog surrounds the waist.

Looking at Qinglong Mountain after the snow is another feeling.

"The jade belt surrounds the dragons, and the silver wall is Jinchuan!"

Wang Yongqian didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?" ”

"A word from the Book of the Earth!"

"Quasi-not?"

"I shouldn't be allowed, I don't believe it much anyway."

"I don't believe you're still that good at learning?"

"Looking for a grave!"

Wang Yongqian was choked and didn't know how to refute.

This place doesn't even have cattle, and it's amazing that Li Ding'an can find the ruins......

After enjoying the snow scene, Li Dingan walked to the edge of the top platform and looked down.

A slide that winds its way down the mountain.

It was just built, less than a week before and after, with a total investment of more than 1 million.

It's very common in the southern region, and it's found in the slightly larger Tea Hills and Orange Hills.

Workers are transporting colored steel, cement, and sand to the spring, and when the spring warms up, they will be able to build permanent camps and archaeological shelters.

Several flat plots have been doubled in size, and several small forklifts and excavators are working.

Lifted up by a large helicopter from the military district......

Next to it is the temporary camp, where there are more than a dozen cotton tents, which are connected to electricity and have two generators.

Protective measures were also taken inside the cave, and even a steel cabin with a steel structure was built outside the cave entrance......

Therefore, as long as you want to do it, there are more ways than difficulties......

As he pondered, there was a rumbling sound in the air, and a helicopter flew in from the south.

It's not the previous two, they were returned when Director Cheng left, this is the rescue plane transferred from the Emergency Management Department in the district: Z-9, carrying ten people at a time.

The helicopter landed slowly, and seven or eight people came down from above.

are still the ones who have had meetings before: there is a deputy leader in charge of culture and tourism, two are the heads of the Department of Culture and Tourism, and Mi Shundong and Qin Long.

He Anbang and the leaders walked side by side, walking in the forefront, like the stars and the moon......

Li Ding'an immediately smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing!"

Wang Yongqian's face was upright: "Be serious!" ”

He didn't even have to guess, what Li Ding'an was thinking was definitely not a good thing: such as pulling and not leaving, fighting backwards, and so on.

It's hard to hear, and there is some truth to it, but it can't be said.

The day after the meeting, the local area was the same as the electric power: the ropeway cycle is long, the investment is large, then build the slideway.

The weather is too cold to build roads, and it is unrealistic for large machinery to go up the mountain.

Then hang it, the small one can always be hanged, right?

If there is no way to erect the iron tower and electric pole, then lay the bright line and wear the outer pipe.

If the permanent camp can't be built temporarily, then build a temporary one: if the tent is too cold, then stack a few more layers, and pick up warm equipment.

Inconvenient access...... It's not a problem: Mr. Li, Director He, you said how many helicopters do you want, big or small?

Therefore, the local money has not been spent, and the strength has not been reduced at all.

However, the project unit was still replaced by the National Museum, and the leading excavation was also the National Museum, and then the local cooperation was carried out.

It's not that he was deliberately embarrassed, Director Cheng was not so careful, but the nature of the site has changed, the level has increased, and the difficulty of excavation and research has increased by several levels.

Not to mention anything else, with the local technical level, there is no way to study the copper pillar for them.

But the benefits are also obvious: the higher the level of the site, the larger the scope, the higher the level of the scenic spot to be applied for construction, and the greater the possibility of approval.

Just like Director Cheng said: No matter how big the site is, can you still have the surname Li? No matter how many cultural relics there are, can the National Museum still carry them all?

As well as the telephone communication between the curator and the district leaders, the words of the people: "After the construction of the scenic spot, it is also the local ...... that will benefit"

Therefore, the local attention has increased several levels, and when I learned that the official excavation of the site center (cave) was made today, the leaders arrived yesterday.

"Forgot ...... Didn't you say anything about preparing a ribbon-cutting program or something? ”

"Want to be scolded again? It's all about the brains! ”

Wang Yongqian scolded, and the two greeted them side by side.

Three or four steps away, the leader stretched out his hand: "Teacher Li, the conditions are limited, please take care of it!" ”

"You're welcome, it's already good!"

"Director Wang, hard work!"

"As it should be!"

After a few cold words, the group walked to the cabin, and the leader asked a few more words about today's excavation content.

Walking forward like this, walking and walking, Li Dingan felt that something was wrong: Lao He didn't know where he went, he became himself and the leader side by side, and there were many people behind him.

Looking further back, Wang Yongqian and He Anbang were looking at him and laughing.

Okay, just now still laughing at Lao He?

……

The cabin is very large, nearly 300 square meters, with a steel frame structure and a glass exterior wall.

This is the "archaeological excavation cabin" temporarily invented by the Chinese Academy of Sciences before the excavation of the Sanxingdui site. ”

There is a complete set of environmental control system: it can keep warm, moisturize, prevent bacteria, there are changing rooms, sanitizing rooms, as well as experimental areas and work areas. If necessary, the entire inner chamber (cave) can be put into a vacuum anaerobic state.

Director Cheng was transferred from the Cultural Relics Bureau, and it only took ten days to transport it to the building...... It is not an exaggeration to change the place, and it is estimated that it will take a month to build this cabin alone.

Sanitized, changed, and everyone changed into protective clothing.

Not to protect people, but to prevent external mold from causing lesions, damaging sites and artifacts.

It sounds amazing, but it's not an exaggeration at all. During the excavation of the Qin Tomb, there were many cases: the bronze utensils dug out of the tomb at the end of the end had not had time to be cleaned, and the surface of the copper tripod began to bulge, as if there were insects arching inside.

When the bulge reaches a certain level, it begins to peel again, as if it has psoriasis, falling off layer by layer. The rust on the outer layer is gone, and the copper on the inner layer is again...... The drums keep drumming, and they keep fading.

Fast for dozens of minutes, slow for two or three hours, good bronze, and finally only a pile of slag remains.

There are not too many similar examples, and this is still a metal tool with relatively stable properties and relatively easy to preserve. In the process of excavation in various places, due to the lack of protection measures, the number of examples of damage to murals, wood, silk, books, calligraphy and painting cultural relics is too many to count.

Of course, it was all a sealed burial chamber, and it couldn't have happened here.

Otherwise, how dare Li Ding'an say that the cave will be opened when it is opened?

So when the cabin was built at that time, Li Dingan also suggested it, saying that it was an aerobic and ventilated environment before, and there was no need for this, but he was scolded by Director Cheng.

Well, the leadership has the final say......

Out of the cabin, there is a cave.

Compared with the time Director Cheng came, it was like a different place: eight load-bearing columns, evenly erected in the cave. It is still a steel frame structure, and the roof and wall of the cave are tightly protected.

The floor is covered with a dust blanket, a protective cover has been added to the mural, and the copper pillars are even more impermeable: a small square cabin is covered.

Monk...... Oh no, the Golden Body Buddha had already been moved to the outer room and stored in the thermostat.

When they saw the Buddha's appearance, several leaders couldn't walk.

So far, there are only 11 bottles of golden-bodied Buddha in the country: four bottles of Jiuhua Mountain, three bottles of Wutai Mountain, and one bottle of each of the four jungles of Guangdong.

Which place is not a Buddhist holy place, and which place is not a cloud of pilgrims?

The leaders can already imagine the scene when the scenic spot is established, and the tourists are eager to level the Qinglong Mountain.

Think of what Li Ding'an said: There is at least one similar site in the territory, and there is at least one bottle of similar golden-bodied Buddha, and nine times out of ten it is also in Inner Mongolia...... The leaders were even more excited.

"Teacher Li, is it difficult to verify the identity of the Buddha?"

"It's not easy, but it's not without clues!"

The leader's hand reached out again: "Trouble! ”

Li Dingan smiled: "It should be!" ”

While walking and watching, the leaders felt more deeply: for these research equipment and protective measures, not to mention two weeks, two months are enough.

Therefore, although they were criticized by Director Cheng in a roundabout way, they didn't mind at all, but were faintly grateful.

If there is still such a place, Director Cheng, please batch it a few more times......

After a rough look at the area, the excavation officially began.

He Anbang was sent by the curator to supervise, and Wang Yongqian even took Shang Fang's sword, but whenever Li Ding'an's brain was hot, he could shout to stop every minute, so Li Ding'an didn't dare to go too far.

At least in the beginning, even if it is for show, it has to be done according to the prescribed procedures.

"Ma Suo, let's get started!"

"Good!"

The area is 4*4, a total of 25 probes, and today only eight of the periphery are explored, which is the so-called bottom probe and find the edge.

It is no longer the villagers who scrape the edges, but professionals drawn from the district and the cultural relics bureaus of various cities, so there is no need to explain more.

Ma Xianming arranges personnel, and the work is also very simple, and everything is orderly.

He Anbang and Wang Yongqian invited the leaders to the work area, and the leaders said to take a look.

After looking at it for a while, the leader pointed to the middle group again: "Teacher Li, what are those people in the middle doing?" ”

"It's also scraping!"

"This is Team Leader Yao, right?"

"Right...... I deduced that there were relatively key magic weapons under those three squares, so I let Team Leader Yao be responsible. ”

As soon as he heard the "key magic weapon", the leader didn't want to leave......

As he was talking, Yao Chuan beckoned: "Teacher Li, come and see!" ”

Li Ding'an walked over quickly.

It was surrounded by small piles of scraped floating earth, with a few blue-black stone bricks revealing in the middle.

"Basalt?"

"Yes!"

"Is it any wonder that no brick kilns have been found around the cave?"

After a few brushes with a brush, a round pit about the size of an egg was revealed on the brick surface. At the other end, there is a shallow groove with the thickness of chopsticks, extending to the copper pillar.

"That's right, it's the Yaoguang position (the end of the dipper), there must be something underneath...... Probe! ”

Yao Chuan pulled through the toolkit and took out a conical steel needle.

It's about 30 centimeters, only the thickness of a match. The needle is crossed, and the needle body is threaded.

Inserted into the brick joint, Li Ding'an held the handle with both hands and turned it quickly, like drilling wood to make fire.

Slowly, the probe goes deeper and deeper into the soil until it reaches the handle.

Removing the handle and connecting it again, the probe reached a meter long.

I was thinking about whether to uncover the brick layer first and then explore, and I had a "sudden" meal on my hand.

Li Dingan twisted it twice: "It seems to be wooden...... It should be a mouth box...... Dig! (End of chapter)
