When Liu Yihua saw the sweat on Professor Wang's forehead, he knew that he was under a lot of pressure. This kind of pressure is conceivable. After all, the treasure in front of him is too big. No matter who is in Professor Wang's position, he will feel great pressure.
Professor Wang has been carefully recalling and sorting out the previous excavation experience in his heart. He has been walking forward, and his eyes have seen dots of light in the mud...Suddenly, Professor Wang kicked something strange in the mud. When my hand touched the mud lightly, I couldn't help being surprised!
Liu Yihua wondered what Professor Wang saw? Liu Yihua looked down and was also shocked! how to say? The underground is densely packed with treasures! Almost every square centimeter has it! What amount of gold, silver and jewelry is this? At this time, the archaeologists behind him were also stunned.
According to Professor Wang's calculations, if there are treasures in every square centimeter of this tomb, then the entire tomb is about 60 square meters, which means that there should be countless treasures underground! This proves that the emperor of an unknown dynasty is really not short of money! Not bad money!
Continuing on, the eyes of the archaeologists were gradually illuminated, and they saw the treasures flowing down from the coffin along with the mud like a waterfall. Later statistics: In this tomb, a total of more than 5,000 pieces of various treasures including gold, silver, and jade were unearthed! Among them are treasures such as golden containers, golden hat tops, golden ritual utensils, and white jade falcons catching geese that have never been seen before. Rough calculations show that the amount of gold used in these treasures reached 16 kg, the amount of silver used reached 13 kg, and the amount of jade used reached 14 kg. More than 700 gemstones were unearthed, and the value of cultural relics is immeasurable. Faced with these, the archaeological team was at a loss for a while, because they knew that these treasures may undergo unforeseen changes in an instant after seeing the air. In addition, this wealth will bring them great trouble. Later, Liu Yihua and the armed police devised various plans, and finally the treasures were taken away intact. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, this ancient tomb is second only to Dingling's shocking tomb in unearthed cultural relics.
The camera returns to the excavation site.
Professor Wang led his team of archaeologists into the underground palace, and after exhausting all their efforts, the treasure is in front of him. It should be a time when he can smile, but for Professor Wang, this is precisely when At the most difficult moment in the entire archaeological work, how to transport many treasures intact and safe for protection is the biggest problem he faces now. In the past two weeks of excavation, the archaeological team led by Professor Wang faced an unprecedented test. Fortunately, they found the ancient tomb and successfully entered the underground palace. After a series of twists and turns, they finally confirmed that the tomb had never been stolen and the internal structure of the underground palace was safe.
Today, in front of everyone is a huge royal treasure and unique and precious cultural relics, but the extent of this treasure is currently unknown. Everyone is full of expectations for the rare treasures that will be unearthed soon.
In order to avoid damage to cultural relics, the team leader Professor Wang only allowed a small number of people to enter the underground palace in an orderly manner, carefully searched for all the treasures, and immediately classified them for preservation after discovery. When we approached the place of the coffin bed, that is, when it was later judged that this was the funeral object of the princess, there were really many gold objects and hairpins. For example, the three-dimensional phoenix hairpin welded with gold wire that Liu Yihua stepped on. The head of the hairpin is a hollow phoenix standing on a flying cloud, and the tail of the hairpin is connected under the flying cloud. The entire golden phoenix hairpin is 24 centimeters long, made entirely of pure gold, and weighs 94.6 grams. The craftsmanship of this golden phoenix hairpin is very exquisite. The body, wings, and tail of the phoenix are wound with extremely thin gold wires and superimposed layer by layer. The process is extremely complicated, and the image of the phoenix is depicted in detail, noble and luxurious. After the final cleaning, it was confirmed that there were more than 20 gold hairpins, all of which were placed here in a mess. I have seen gold hairpins in other archaeological materials, but there are not so many.
The excavation continued, and after cleaning the periphery, Liu Yihua and Professor Wang approached the center of the coffin bed step by step, and an unprecedented scene appeared before their eyes. After approaching the coffin bed, everyone saw that the gold, silver and jade objects were scattered, and they flowed down a layer like a waterfall, which was frightening, and it really felt like this.
"Isn't it? Such an exaggeration?" Liu Yihua said unconsciously.
Professor Wang wiped his sweat with his sleeve and said, "It's an exaggeration. Now you are famous here! This ancient tomb will definitely attract many visitors." Of course, Professor Wang knew why Wang Xiaoyan asked the archaeological team and CCTV reporters to come. It is nothing more than to develop the bonded area as soon as possible.
Liu Yihua smiled and said: "I hope so. Hehe, keep digging and see how many treasures there are." Now Liu Yihua is already thinking about how to protect these treasures and how to use this ancient tomb.
The excavation continued, and the cultural relics were continuously removed. The most eye-catching ones are the gold wares, which are large in number and relatively complete, and the jade wares are all scattered. Anyway, the shock of the scene was unparalleled, and even the well-informed archaeologists saw this scene for the first time. They had never seen so many gold objects in one tomb, and everyone was at a loss for a while.
But soon everyone woke up and began to work calmly. Everyone clears the underside of the coffin bed first, and the coffin bed last. Step by step in this way, basically the entire sludge has been cleaned out, stored in small mud buckets, and then sieved to prevent any leakage. Because many babies are in the mud.
Liu Yihua is responsible for assisting in the screening and washing work. In fact, this is also the self-supervision of the archaeological team. After all, there are too many treasures in it, and it is better for everyone to need a supervision. Liu Yihua was very pleasantly surprised to see the treasures coming out of the mud one by one. If you look at the first thing, you think it’s good, and after a while, you find another thing that’s better, and after a while, you find out that it’s even better. Anyway, there are constant surprises.
During this period, CCTV reporters were equally excited! After a while, their reporters will report on the spot for a while, and sometimes Professor Wang and the archaeological team members who are busy are still free to answer a few questions from the CCTV reporter. Everyone is in a good mood now, and the interview at this time must have gone very smoothly.
In addition to CCTV reporters, the archaeological team also has people who are responsible for taking pictures. it is necessary! Only after the photo is taken will the place be cleaned up. When the photo was taken with a strong light, it was really golden! Everyone is so excited every time! It's like a virtual treasure hunt here! Otherwise, would there be so many treasures in reality
After cleaning up the silt on the surface, hundreds of gold, silver and jade articles were obtained, and everyone was extremely excited. Professor Wang smiled and said, "Are you satisfied?"
Everyone smiled. Really satisfied, this surprise is too big.
Liu Yihua smiled and said: "With these, the bonded area can't even think about being famous! But...Professor Wang, do these things have to be handed over to the state according to regulations?" Liu Yihua still knows this, but if all of them are handed over to the state, then The bonded area is a bit of a waste of time. If you don't hand it in, you can't justify it.
Professor Wang pondered for a while and said: "It is reasonable. But, it depends on your skills. Hehe."
"Ah? That's it. Hehe, we want to set aside a part to build a museum." Professor Wang's reminder is very interesting, can Liu Yihua not understand? It appears that some work must now be done. For example, the work of handing in these treasures. Liu Yihua will definitely not agree to submit all of them. This time, he must find ways to use his privileges to keep some representative ones, and then let Zhou Huijie and Li Shanshan pay for the establishment of a museum. Only in this way can the tourism industry be promoted, otherwise, why is the bonded area so busy
Professor Wang's eyes lit up and said: "Okay! This idea is good! The museum... the young man really dares to think about it! Well, keep digging, the more treasures there are, there will be some duplications, so you can try to keep some. What's behind!"
After Professor Wang finished speaking, he continued to organize the excavation. Liu Yihua was really excited at this time. If according to what Professor Wang said, the big head is in the back, then it will be posted! Even the current treasures are enough to make the bonded zone famous all over the world!
"Wow..." The archaeologists suddenly exclaimed! They were stunned after uncovering a layer of mud! The treasure inside is really beyond imagination! It can be said that it knocked everyone down!
One of them weighed 200 carats! This is a big deal. 10 carats of sapphires are worth millions, and 200 carats...and such a large individual, this is simply priceless!
Liu Yihua looked over when he heard the scream, and the CCTV cameras started to shoot. Everyone was frightened by this gem. Liu Yihua murmured: "'Grandma', 'Grandma', I finally know what is priceless. This is like a myth."
Professor Wang let out a long breath and said, "It's really unimaginable. Well, there are other gemstones below, let's continue cleaning."
Sure enough, there are many kinds of gemstones inside, and the big guys are getting more and more excited! However, at this time, Professor Wang secretly became nervous. There are so many treasures, Professor Wang is worried about safety. Although Liu Yihua assured that there would be no problem, it was obvious that Liu Yihua did not realize that there were so many treasures in it. The gold, silverware, jade and precious stones here are all national cultural relics! You can't just calculate the price of one kilogram of gold, these gold, silver and jade articles are almost priceless!
When Liu Yihua saw Professor Wang staring at him, he understood: "Professor Wang, are you worried about safety issues? This...we have dozens of soldiers outside, absolutely no problem!" Liu Yihua's tone of voice was not firm at this time. Dozens of soldiers protecting hundreds of national treasures is okay, but it is obvious that thousands of pieces are preserved here! This is something Liu Yihua never thought of before! Liu Yihua also feels the pressure now! what to do? The cultural relics that have been cleaned up cannot be transported out of the ancient tomb immediately, and they must gradually adapt to the external environment... What should we do when it gets dark for such a large batch of treasures? Liu Yihua felt that Wang Xiaoyan should be asked to report, and Ding Wei, the commander of the garrison area, should coordinate the troops to increase protection.
Professor Wang was relieved when he saw Liu Yihua's vow, but he was still worried: "I always feel that it is inappropriate. As you said, the collection here is priceless! There must be no mistakes, otherwise we will be the country's sinners! "The treasure hunt has only just begun, but huge quantities of gold and precious stones have been found, which must be preserved. At this time, Professor Wang could only trust the unreasonably young director of the Free Trade Zone Public Security Bureau in front of him. Because according to Professor Wang's observation, Wang Xiaoyan seems to have an unusual relationship with Liu Yihua. Who is Wang Xiaoyan? Her family is not counted in the capital, super powerful but also famous, in this case, would Wang Xiaoyan like an unknown Liu Yihua? Thinking of this, Professor Wang has more confidence in Liu Yihua. After all, Liu Yihua will not be a simple person. Professor Wang does not think that Liu Yihua's ability to become the director at such a young age is all due to connections. Liu Yihua is definitely very capable.
Next, the excavation continued for a while, and Professor Wang suddenly called a stop, because there were too many treasures, and it was impossible to clean them all at once. Professor Wang is now concerned about the safe preservation of treasures.
Everyone withdrew from the underground palace, and Professor Wang said: "Young man... oh, I should call you Director Liu. Hehe, we think this way now: most of the treasures are not afraid of oxidation, and we want to transfer them to the urban area for preservation... After all, this bonded area is sparsely populated , To be honest, it’s barren mountains and wild mountains, it’s really not safe.” Professor Wang still changed his mind, thinking that it’s better to transfer most of the treasures to the city center.
Liu Yihua immediately said: "Okay, I will report to Mayor Wang Xiaoyan to see where it is stored and how to transport it." Such a large number of cultural relics have to leave the underground palace and be transported out of the ground one after another. How to preserve it is really a serious problem. It was also Liu Yihua's first time doing this job, without any experience, he didn't dare to make decisions by himself, besides, some things had to be done by Wang Xiaoyan.
When Wang Xiaoyan saw Liu Yihua coming out, she looked at the people around her, and then she smiled and said, "How about Yihua?" learn.
Liu Yihua looked at the people around and whispered: "Baby, send it! There are many treasures in it!"
This sentence made Wang Xiaoyan blush. Of course she knew that the first "baby" was Liu Yihua's pet name for herself.
"Sent it? How many treasures are there? There can't be hundreds of pieces, right?" Wang Xiaoyan has been studying archaeology hard these days, knowing that hundreds of cultural relics have been unearthed from a large tomb is amazing! Hundreds of pieces are already a big surprise in Wang Xiaoyan's heart!
"Hundreds of pieces? No!" Liu Yihua shook his head.
Wang Xiaoyan was much less excited, and comforted: "Hehe, it doesn't matter, as long as there are dozens of them." Wang Xiaoyan knew that Liu Yihua had great expectations for this ancient tomb, and was afraid that he would be disappointed.
Liu Yihua smiled and said: "Fool! It's not hundreds of pieces! It can't be dozens of pieces! Hundreds of pieces are just the starting price! At least a few thousand pieces! Don't be surprised, this is still a discounted quantity! In fact, there may be more!" After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he shook Wang Xiaoyan's hand tightly!
"Really?" Wang Xiaoyan almost jumped into Liu Yihua's arms happily! How many thousands? God, my luck is so good! This time, the development of the bonded area will be accelerated a lot!
"Calm down! There are a lot of people around. By the way, look at the report and request to strengthen the security. Also, contact the People's Bank of China, these treasures will enter their vault." Liu Yihua thought for a while, the safest place must be The treasury of the People's Bank of China.
Wang Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll contact you immediately." After finishing speaking, Wang Xiaoyan went to the nearby command office to report. Here, the army has made a temporary confidential call.
Not long after, Wang Xiaoyan said that the escort vehicles had arrived and the People's Bank of China was ready.
Liu Yihua immediately explained to Professor Wang. Professor Wang breathed a sigh of relief and began to organize people to sort the treasures and see which ones were to be transported away.
Liu Yihua immediately formulated a transportation plan. There is still some distance to the city center here, and some contingency plans must be made, because no one can guarantee that there will be no problems on the road.
Not long after, hundreds of armed police soldiers arrived, this is a big formation! These fighters will surround the ancient tomb for 24 hours. Some of them are responsible for the armed escort of these national treasures.
According to Liu Yihua's instructions, all the soldiers in charge of the escort put on body armor! This is no joke, these babies are too important. The soldiers are a little nervous, where have you experienced these things? Fortunately, Liu Yihua commanded well, and when the bank's treasures were counted and signed by the bank, the vehicle started to set off!
The vehicles loaded with treasures are protected by military vehicles and heavily armed soldiers on the front, rear, left, and right sides. Liu Yihua personally commanded, and it feels airtight, and safety should be no problem. At the same time, Liu Yihua made repeated orders not to allow anyone around the vehicles transporting the treasures. The advance vehicle is responsible for clearing the way. If there is a traffic accident, clear the vehicle immediately, and try not to stop the vehicle escorting the treasure.
Along the way, the vehicles were unimpeded, and everyone felt relaxed when they arrived in the city center. After all, downtown is safer. However, at this time the convoy stopped.
Liu Yihua stepped forward and asked the advance convoy, "What's going on? Didn't you say to ensure unimpeded traffic?"
The soldier on the advance vehicle said helplessly: "Director Liu, the comrades in front of the police said that the provincial leaders are coming, this... let's stop for a while."
Liu Yihua said angrily: "Our cultural relics are so important, so we can park at will? Go over there!" Liu Yihua knows that vehicles are the safest in motion. If you stop, you won't be able to run if someone is holding explosives or something!
At this time, Liu Yihua saw Li Dayue, director of the Hanjiang City Public Security Bureau, running over panting and said, "Wait a minute, Yihua. Yihua, do me a favor. The provincial leaders will be here soon... Do you think your convoy can wait? "Of course Li Dayue knew that Liu Yihua was responsible for the protection of the archaeological excavation of ancient tombs in the bonded area. It seemed that he was transporting treasures.
The surrounding soldiers and police watched this scene a little dumbfounded. Li Dayue is the director of the city bureau. Does he want to be so polite to a branch director? This... why
Liu Yihua frowned and said, "Director Li, who wants to come?"
Li Dayue hesitated and said, "Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee... It is said that it will be kept secret. Oh, the convoy is here, I will go there."
Liu Yihua looked at the convoy led by the provincial party committee driving over and said to himself solemnly: "Secretary of the Disciplinary Committee of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee? Strange, is there an official in Hanjiang City who is going to be killed?"
