Exploring the Secret: Dig the Mausoleum of the First Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 175 Cao Cao's Tomb ([-])
Then Luo Dan sent Qin Chen a location via WeChat!

Qin Chen drove to Xigao Village in Yecheng.

Based on field archaeology and other methods, Luo Dan detected that there is indeed an ancient tomb below!

Qin Chen knew the time had come.

He immediately called Xue Kaiyu, director of the Heyu Provincial Institute of Archeology.

On the second day, an archaeological team of 35 people was quickly formed!
The archaeological excavation has officially begun!
The speed of the work is also unexpected!

There wasn’t even an archaeological dig ceremony!

At this time, Qin Chen also received a call from Lu Jian!
I learned that the imitation work of Chuanguo Yuxi has been completed!

Qin Chen knew that the day for the official layout had arrived.

That night, Lu Jian brought the Chuanguo Yuxi to Yecheng.

Li Chunxi and Luo Dan were sitting in the study, not knowing what Qin Chen was going to do.

When the two saw Lu Jian taking out the imitation Chuanguo Yuxi, they became restless.

The two had never seen the real Jade Seal of Chuanguo, so they were naturally extremely excited when they saw it.

Treat Lu Jian's imitation as the real thing!
Immediately Qin Chen said: "This time the four of us are going to do something earth-shattering, causing unscrupulous businessmen and cultural relic dealers in foreign countries to suffer!"

Li Chunxi and Luo Dan were like two monks who couldn't figure it out.

Qin Chen knew it was time for a showdown!

He can't do this by himself!
It takes multiple people to work together!

Qin Chen said to Luo Dan: "Your mission is to put this Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom into Cao Cao's tomb, create a sensation in the news, and immediately announce that the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom has been stolen. I will ask the press to cooperate with you."

"Chunxi, you used the overseas relationship of the Li Group to send the cultural relics copied by Lu Jian to the Christie's auction."

Ah!
The two of them knew about Qin Chen's crazy idea!

Lu Jian said lightly: "Don't worry, the cultural relics I imitated are not only Professor Zhou but also Qin Chen. I don't think anyone can tell that they are fakes."

"Rodan, your excavation progress is very important. You must dig out the tomb passage and enter the tomb gate within three days, otherwise there will be no time."

……

The four discussed for more than two hours.

On the second day, Qin Chen and Li Chunxi flew back to Xijing!

And Luo Dan is digging ancient tombs in Xigao Village.

When the excavation reached 1.7 meters, the ground and tomb passage of the Han Dynasty were discovered.

Archaeologists excavated centimeter by centimeter along the crossing.

At 15 meters above the ground, the tomb door was finally discovered.

Later, Rao soil appeared, Han bricks appeared, and mica, jade and stone tablets were all unearthed one after another.

All the staff on site were shocked!

And Xue Kaiyu naturally admired Qin Chen's ability again!

When everyone at the scene also learned that this tomb might be Cao Cao's tomb, they became more and more excited.

Unprecedented mining speed, quite fast!
And Xue Kaiyu has no doubts about Rodin's ability to work!

After all, if Qin Chen's soldiers can be transferred from the Tiannan Provincial Institute of Archeology, there must be no problem.

And the reason why the mining speed is so fast.

The main reason is that Qin Chen made a map of the tomb to ensure the rapid progress of the excavation work.

Rodin hasn't thought about this issue until now.

How could Qin Chen know so much about the structure of Eastern Han tombs?

Thinking that the other party was the director at the age of 24, she could only shake her head.

The level of my doctorate is not worth mentioning in front of the other party.

Qin Chen's map of the tomb was even accurate to the decimeter.

Cao Cao's cemetery is in the shape of "A". The cemetery faces east from west and consists of a tomb passage, front chamber, back chamber and four side chambers. It is a large double-chamber brick tomb with a sloped passage.

It can be seen from the picture that the tomb passage of Cao Cao's tomb is 39.5 meters long and 9.8 meters wide.

The tomb gate is 1.95 meters wide and 3.02 meters high. The tomb gate has 4 floors, the outer 3 floors are made of bricks, and the inner layer is the tomb door.

In terms of the grade and specification of this level of tomb, it is actually relatively shabby, and it was not built according to the specifications of the emperor.

The excavation of Cao Cao's tomb this time, the excavation method adopted, although the workload is heavy, but the emphasis is on speed and high precision.

Finally excavated to the location of the tomb door!

The gate of the tomb is a thick stone gate. The archaeologists removed three brick walls with a total thickness of 3 meters outside the gate.

A thick and solid stone tomb door suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Luo Dan quickly organized personnel to open the door of the tomb.

The real digging of tombs is not as described in the tomb robbery novels, with many traps and dense fog.

If you are not careful, you will die and the lights will go out.

As for the Tomb Raider novel: If the cock crows and the lights go out, don’t touch gold!

This sentence does not apply to archaeologists, they just dig with an archaeological shovel!

Of course, except for some imperial tombs, which do contain organs, such as Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum and Wu Zetian's Tomb...

After opening the door of the tomb, the archaeologists quickly cleaned up the soil in the tomb.

Due to a long time, the east side of the main tomb has collapsed, but the situation is not very serious.

During the process of cleaning up the soil, many utensils were also discovered.

There is no shortage of gold, silver, copper, iron, jade and other textures.

The utensils mainly include copper belt hooks, crystal beads, agate beads, stone kui, pottery figurines and so on.

But the most striking thing is the steles with inscriptions.

At this point, it is already dusk.

Seeing that he could enter the main tomb, Rodin stopped the excavation progress.

Said to the archaeological diggers: "Come here today, let's rest first, and continue working tomorrow."

After everyone walked out of the tomb, Luo Dan couldn't help feeling terrified standing in the middle of the tomb!
Suddenly, Lu Jian's voice came.

"I'll go!"

"I'll go with you!"

"Just wait here for me!"

Lu Jian walked into the main tomb with a flashlight.

Is this Cao Cao's coffin?
He recognized the material of this coffin at a glance, it was made of imperial wood.

Touching this wood is like touching a baby's skin, moist and delicate, as smooth as jade.

Moreover, it can also emit wisps of quiet fragrance, which is refreshing.

He didn't push the coffin away, but just placed the imitation Chuan Guo Yuxi on top of the coffin.

Then he walked out of the main tomb and walked out with Rodin.

The archaeological site has already been sealed off, and there are people on duty 24 hours a day.

……

On the way, Luo Dan asked Lu Jian.

"What does Cao Cao's coffin look like?"

"The coffin looks very ordinary, but the material is imperial wood. This wood has not rotted for thousands of years, and it is extremely insect-resistant. It is not cool in winter and not hot in summer."

"You mean that Cao Cao's body may not be very rotten."

"It stands to reason that such a possibility exists!"

"What should I do?"

"According to my many years of restoration experience, the coffin cannot be opened in this environment. Opening the coffin may cause irreversible damage to the cultural relics and corpses inside. And it is difficult to repair!"

"What should I do?"

"Establish a cultural relic restoration cabin immediately, transport Cao Cao's coffin to the ground, and place it in the restoration cabin before opening it!"

　Thank you all for your votes! ! !
　　Thank you so much! ! !
