This is really a mysterious thousand-year-old tomb. When the archaeological team finally cleaned it up and entered the door of the tomb, they were dumbfounded. What's the matter? have water!
Yes, the water in the ancient tomb gushes out like a fountain, and the flow is very large. It can be said that almost no one can conquer this mysterious ancient tomb protected by a huge water flow. Is this a means of protection when the ancient tomb was originally designed
The archaeological team immediately decided to contact the water pump and immediately started pumping water. It's just that the weather is not beautiful, and it started to rain at this time. And it keeps going non-stop.
Of course Wang Xiaoyan attaches great importance to this archaeological discovery. Liu Yihua immediately coordinated and thought that the department called several high-power water pumps to pump water. It's just that it's maddening that the water in the tomb seems to be endless and never drained.
Everyone is really dizzy. Some archaeologists even said to give up. Such a mysterious ancient tomb is a bit weird, they are really afraid that there are hidden weapons inside.
Wang Xiaoyan is a little anxious. If this matter is abandoned halfway, it will undoubtedly be a blow to Wang Xiaoyan. Of course Liu Yihua did not agree. He immediately said: "Don't worry. As long as this kind of ancient tomb is opened, I will be the first to go in! If there is any hidden weapon, I will carry it!" After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he saw an anxious look on Wang Xiaoyan's face. Wang Xiaoyan was still very worried about Liu Yihua's personal safety.
Professor Wang of the archaeological team said: "Children, there is no need. Keep pumping." Professor Wang still admires Liu Yihua's courage. Talking about it, many archaeological team members dare not enter the ancient tomb first. Therefore, in the archaeological team, older experts usually walk in the front. In case something happens to them, they are too old anyway... The young comrades behind will still have a long time.
In this way, under the decision of Professor Wang, continue to pump water! At the same time, water conservancy experts conduct field hydrological survey experience. It is necessary to judge whether the water source in the surrounding area may enter the thousand-year-old tomb, or whether there is an underground underground river outlet in the thousand-year-old tomb? In the end, experts said that from the geological structure or stratum structure, there is no underground river. This place is a hilly landform, and it is impossible to form a large underground reservoir or a large cavity, and it is impossible to have an underground river. development. So, keep pumping.
Three days later, the archaeological team members who were busy outside the door-sealing brick suddenly saw that the water seepage from the ancient tomb was slowly moving downwards. This phenomenon meant that the water level behind the door-sealing brick had begun to gradually drop. This proves that the water in the thousand-year-old tomb is about to be drained. It's just that people still feel very puzzled - where did the surging water come from? After observing the site, water conservancy experts analyzed that because the soil layer above the underground palace is densely covered with plant roots, those roots penetrated into the soil and then slowly penetrated the top of the ancient tomb and entered the underground palace. Once it rains, the rainwater on the ground will flow along the roots of the plants. Infiltrate into the underground palace, and gradually form stagnant water in the underground palace.
However, some people have raised doubts—according to this principle, the water entering the underground palace will continue to seep into the soil below instead of staying in the underground palace. So why does this water stay in the underground palace in large quantities
Later, the experts made a comprehensive analysis of the situation: the general tomb, no matter what kind of tomb, the first step is to do a "moisture-proof" and waterproof treatment. The tomb is like a basin that collects water, so that the water seepage from the upper part They all gathered in the tomb. However, the bottom of the tomb has been treated with "moisture-proof", and the water cannot continue to penetrate into the ground.
The experts found that after the water seeped out, they did not find many harmful or toxins. Experts who specialize in cultural relics protection conducted sampling analysis on the spot, and it is basically normal that the water is classified as water.
After waiting for a while, the water finally drained! At this time, the problem of water accumulation in the underground palace has been solved, and it should be time to open the sealing wall.
"Professor Wang, please leave it to me to be the first to enter the ancient tomb." At this time, a bold archaeologist volunteered to be the first to enter the ancient tomb to find out.
My professor shook his head and said, "No way. The situation is unclear now, so be cautious." The impulse of this young archaeologist was stopped by Professor Wang. Because he didn't know what strange phenomenon existed in the tomb.
Professor Wang saw that the young archaeologist was a little depressed, so he sighed: "30 years ago, we excavated a royal tomb, and we made sufficient mental preparations, but when the archaeologists entered, they were still very panicked. Some people suggested just rushing in. But an old expert said no, it’s too dangerous. Because there may be hidden arrows, throwing knives, and even poisonous gas in it. If this thing is opened and rushed out, wouldn’t we all be finished? ? You can't do that."
Professor Wang heard it for a while and then said: "According to the construction regulations of the underground palace, the door-sealing wall is the first gate to officially enter the underground palace. After passing through this brick wall, there will be a straight passage leading to the big stone gate of the underground palace in front of you." Since this is the primary checkpoint leading to the underground palace, most of the legendary hidden weapon traps will be designed in this place for thousands of years. However, what kind of hidden weapon traps have been found in ancient tombs in history? After our previous sorting, there are several main methods, namely: water storage, machine crossbow, poisonous gas and sand accumulation.”
Liu Yihua asked curiously: "Professor Wang, these are all legends. Do they really exist?"
Professor Wang said with a smile: "Young man, of course. Do you dare to be the first to charge now?"
Liu Yihua patted his chest and said, "Of course. What are you afraid of?" Liu Yihua still felt a little guilty when he said here. Wang Xiaoyan couldn't help pulling Liu Yihua quietly. Wang Xiaoyan didn't dare to let Liu Yihua take risks. She would rather not excavate and make a thousand-year-old tomb.
Professor Wang smiled and said, "Okay, young man has courage. It's just that even if there is a little hidden weapon, it's not as powerful as in the legend. But we have to guard against it. Look, why is there so much water in the ancient tomb we are excavating now? Is it a coincidence? If it is not a coincidence, it proves that these are said to be the first protection system. With the first protection system, there will be no second and third?"
Liu Yihua rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "There is a hidden weapon in ancient times, that is the machine crossbow. According to legend, many mechanical devices will be arranged in important tombs. The arrows were fired at once, and the intruder was killed instantly. But I think the dark arrows and flying knives should all fail after so many years? I have never heard of grave robbers dying from these things, right?" Liu Yihua was very pleased Obviously familiar with this area. Legends are legends after all.
Professor Wang smiled and said: "I really can't scare you. Yes, these are legends after all. So far, among the many large and small tombs excavated in our country, we have not found a single one with this kind of automatic launcher." For equipment, there is an anti-theft system, such as filling sand and rocks."
Liu Yihua breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's all right? Professor Wang, I still dare to be the first to charge!" Liu Yihua became more courageous now that he was sure that there were no such hidden weapons in the ancient tomb.
Professor Wang suddenly said solemnly: "I don't care about the mechanism of the dark arrows and flying knives, but I think that poisonous gas and accumulated sand may exist in this ancient tomb. This ancient tomb has been closed for many years. Over the course of so many years, the corpses and other organic matter in the underground palace are likely to form certain gases after they rot and decompose. Suppose the organic matter decomposes to form biogas, and when people enter the underground palace, they bring fire, then the biogas in the underground palace will burn instantly. If the organic matter decomposes and forms other toxic gases, people entering the underground palace and breathing such gases will also cause life-threatening."
After Professor Wang finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yihuajue. Liu Yihua shrank his neck and said, "Wow, it's terrifying. It's like a biohazard."
Professor Wang smiled and said: "No matter what, we have to open this ancient tomb. Let's start tearing down the door and put on a gas mask."
Professor Wang gave an order, and the archaeological team immediately started to act. They took the ladder up and started prying bricks. Of course, this ancient tomb was built very solidly. Although the archaeologists were very experienced, it took a lot of effort to remove the first brick! But with the first piece, the next job is a little easier.
The archaeologists worked in an orderly manner, taking bricks layer by layer according to the number. After removing the upper layers of door-sealing bricks, the archaeologists found that the inside of the tomb was pitch black, and he clearly felt a gloomy wind blowing towards him. The archaeologists wearing gas masks trembled a little. Then he came down to rest for a while and talk about the situation. Finally, after the fire experiment, it was found that there seemed to be no combustible gas inside, so the archaeologists continued to work with confidence.
Slowly, the door-sealing brick was removed, and the archaeologists were very excited. They found that the entire tomb was intact, and it should not have been stolen. At this time, the archaeologists are no longer worried about the poisonous gas. At this time, air convection is already being produced, and the gas in the ancient tomb will soon return to normal.
The convective air continued to dilute the dirty gas in the ancient tomb. At this time, the archaeologists began to speed up the removal of the sealing wall. As the door-sealing bricks were gradually removed, the mood of the people at the scene became more and more excited, as if the rare treasure of their dreams was just around the corner. The emotions of the crowd in the back began to stir up, everyone wanted to see what was behind this closed door wall.
At this moment, an object floated in the water behind the wall that sealed the door, and this object immediately aroused Professor Wang's high alertness.
"There are silk fabrics? My God, can't you? Is the cultural relics protected so well?" Professor Wang was a little excited and incoherent. Because silk fabrics are extremely perishable, it is very difficult to preserve them in ancient tombs. Once they appear, it means that the burial objects in this tomb are well preserved. Based on this, it can be inferred that the underground palace not only preserves a wealth of hard cultural relics such as gold, silver and jewelry, but it is also very likely that there will be paper or silk fabrics that record text. For archaeology, this will be a very important discovery. In this case, how could Professor Wang not be excited
certainly. This is both an opportunity and a challenge. If the protection is not timely, a major archaeological accident may occur immediately, and Professor Wang may be removed from the position of team leader and leave this treasure hunting operation that has just started forever. So Professor Wang is getting more and more excited, and the pressure is also increasing.
"Ah? Really silk fabrics? This... is unbelievable!" The other archaeological team members were also shocked. This thousand-year-old tomb has a long history. According to the practice, there are very few silk fabrics or organic cultural relics in this kind of tomb, and the bones are generally rotten. But now there are silk fabrics, can everyone not be happy? This is a big deal!
Of course, such precious cultural relics cannot be grasped by hand. Everyone could only squat down and observe carefully, not daring to move. If it is really a cultural relic, it must be sealed up immediately in a situation like this.
In the end, Professor Wang decided to hold up this precious cultural relic with his own hands and then preserve it. But Professor Wang felt something was wrong, and asked in confusion: "It's not right. This textile is so hard? Doesn't it look like ancient silk?"
The big guy immediately looked up. I found that this silk fabric fiber is very new, and it is also blended! How could there be blending in ancient times? What exactly is going on? This time, everyone was dumbfounded.
Liu Yihua wondered: "This...isn't this a towel?" Liu Yihua observed from a different angle. Archeology expert Shi Chu observed this towel from the perspective of archaeological relics. And Liu Yihua observed in one step very directly and simply.
Professor Wang was stunned and said: "It's really the same as the ordinary towel we use now... But, how can there be the current towel in the thousand-year-old tomb? Broken, stolen?" The color is pale. Great hopes turned into great disappointments at once.
At this time, the archaeological team finally discovered that it was really a towel. The big guy is really petrified. The excitement plummeted! It's over, if there are modern towels, someone will definitely go in. Everyone feels extremely frustrated! Now the archaeologists are really silent. In less than an hour, these archaeologists seem to have been on a roller coaster and experienced the feeling of falling from the sky to the ground. Frustration enveloped the entire construction site, is this the end? No one can accept this fact.
Professor Wang cheered up and said, "Continue! This towel is relatively new. It may have been stolen, and it was stolen recently. But we just have to find out what happened."
Seeing that Professor Wang had spoken, the archaeologists cheered up and continued to work. After such an analysis, some conclusions were drawn: conclusion one, the previous visitor had no intention of falling into it, but it was impossible. No one had gone in before. Conclusion two, the thieves have entered the back room. This is what everyone is most worried about, but no signs of theft were found from the outside to the inside. The explosives on it didn't seem to have penetrated into the tomb. Professor Wang felt extremely heavy at this time, perhaps the treasure hunting operation had ended before it even started.
At present, the only way to enter the underground palace is the narrow passage dug by the archaeologists, but the appearance of modern towels in the underground palace means that someone has entered the underground palace earlier than the archaeological team. Shockingly - no trace of a second passage into this mysterious tomb has been found. Who can enter the underground palace without anyone noticing it? According to this logic, even if someone really entered the underground palace, archaeologists believe that because the ancient tomb is filled with water and dirty air, it is impossible for the intruders to get out alive again, and they are likely to die in the underground palace directly.
If the facts are as inferred, then the treasures in the tomb should still be intact. After reaching this conclusion, Professor Wang flushed with excitement again! Just like his expression after he had to drink half a catty of high-grade liquor every night, he immediately instructed everyone to speed up the progress. Now the truth must be found: did the tomb robber get out in the end? If so, cultural relics must have been stolen. What if not? This is the answer everyone needs to know!
At this time, some young archaeologists hoped to put on protective equipment and immediately enter the underground palace to see what happened. Did any tomb robbers die in it, and whether all the rare treasures in the underground palace have been stolen.
Professor Wang said: "Don't worry. There can't be 'chaos'. In this way, you guys and this public security comrade are the first to go in. You can't all go in. The tomb has not been cleaned up, and everyone's footprints may cause some new damage. .”
Liu Yihua said excitedly: "Okay! Hehe, I promise to complete the task." After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he gave Wang Xiaoyan a reassuring wink, then began to put on protective clothing, and walked slowly into the ancient tomb with several archaeological team members. Now that it has reached this point, no matter what, someone needs to enter this tunnel first to make a basic judgment on the situation in the underground palace.
Professor Wang led the team, and several people walked in. One footprint presses one footprint and walks forward. In order to explain the doubt and to see if there is a burglary hole that caused the collapse damage, Liu Yihua and the others went in with a flashlight.
While walking slowly, Professor Wang observed whether there was any danger in the masonry structure in the corridor. After entering, no sign was found in the front room, nothing collapsed or accumulated, and there was no disturbance, just a layer of mud and a little quiet water. The thick silt was somewhat concave, and I couldn't figure out what was underneath.
Liu Yihua thought about it and walked to the front. It's just that he knows Professor Wang's command.
Suddenly Professor Wang's name was Liu Yihua. Because he discovered a strange phenomenon. Professor Wang couldn't believe his eyes. He closed his eyes to calm down and opened his eyes, and found that he had read right just now! He was shocked: "How is it possible? How is it possible..."
Liu Yihua looked back at the dumbfounded Professor Wang, feeling a little strange. What did Professor Wang discover? How can the well-informed and famous domestic archaeological expert be so shocked
Liu Yihua followed Professor Wang's gaze and looked over... Then Liu Yihua was shocked and stunned!
