It took half a day for Old Man Li Yunshan and the other six people to quickly climb out of the underground waterway.
After that, everyone almost didn't even have time to rest before they started making phone calls to second the engineering team.
But obviously, it is far from simple to secondment such a large-scale engineering team.
Although old man Li Yunshan and other archaeological experts are affiliated with China, they theoretically have the power to mobilize engineering teams for archeology, but these privileges can only be used when large-scale discoveries are made, and the approval process is also quite cumbersome.
And even if it is approved, it is not that simple to seriously adjust it.
After all, places like the Qilian Mountains are already remote and full of dense forests. It would be a big expense to mobilize various engineering teams.
Especially this time, the ruins are still in the cracks of the mountain. Whether it is the difficulty of excavation or the scale of excavation, it must be a major project of breaking through the mountains and digging out mountains. No matter in terms of scale or elite level, it requires a large engineering team. .
The most important thing is that there is basically no profit from archaeological excavations like this. Most of them are paid for, and the cultural relics excavated may not be able to be placed in museums in their own areas.
Therefore, this caused Li Yunshan and others to be extremely slow in approving and transferring orders to several surrounding municipal regions and military regions.
Although the municipal and military districts of the ancient Xianyang region dispatched manpower immediately, it was obviously not enough.
More than a week has passed, and including the Gu Xianyang area, only about half of the manpower has been mobilized.
If you want to completely excavate the broken mountain ruins, it is obvious that relying on these is not enough.
In order to gather enough manpower and teams, old man Li Yunshan even walked out of the mountains himself and visited the half pillars of various municipal and military regions.
But even so, the progress is still extremely difficult, especially when the evidence provided by Mr. Li Yunshan and others is not very sufficient. Whether it is the military or various municipal districts, the approval procedures are extremely complicated and cumbersome.
Watching the time passing by, just when old man Li Yunshan was waiting in a hurry, at the last critical moment, Chu Yi, the little best friend who had always been with Ye Qingyao in the past, appeared on the stage.
She hesitated for a long time and didn't know who to call. After talking to Balabala, within a few days, the approval from a municipal district was issued.
"Xiaoyi! Who did you call? After all these years, you still hide this hand?" Ye Qingyao's beautiful eyes were shining, and he pinched his best friend's soft face excitedly, spoke happily, and kissed her hard. Big mouth.
"It's just like that. It has nothing to do with me. I just rely on my father." Chu Yi smiled, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.
"Give you a thumbs up!"
With Chu Yi's help, the manpower and approval work was finally over.
But even so, it still takes a lot of time to get started completely.
After all, the location of the ruins is too deep. It took two weeks just to move the workers and various equipment of the engineering team.
The helicopter roared and the parts of several large engineering machines were hoisted over and gradually assembled.
By the time everything was ready, almost half a month had passed.
In addition to the time that old man Li Yunshan had been running errands, almost a month had passed.
However, although the preparation took a long time, after the preparations were completed, the ability of the engineering team still did not disappoint Mr. Li Yunshan.
In just one day, the professional exploration team used instruments to roughly explore the many trajectories of underground rivers.
"We found a large cavity here, and there seems to be something inside, but the specific content is currently unknown." The person in charge of the engineering team told old man Li Yunshan.
Looking at the engineering survey map, old man Li Yunshan's eyes were bright: "That's right! This is where we were before. If you guessed correctly, this is where the ruins are!"
"You must be cautious when digging. Don't destroy this place when you go there. There are also many key locations in the underground rivers. You must not destroy it easily."
Hearing this, the head of the engineering team frowned slightly.
If you dig directly at this location, it is still very simple.
But if you want to maintain its stability, it will be difficult. You can only use the most primitive method and dig slowly from top to bottom.
Because of thousands of years of geological changes, the mountains here are not stable. If blasting, giant machinery, etc. are used slightly, it may cause chaos in the mountains, which is very likely to cause many adverse effects below.
"Maybe it will take a little longer." After thinking for a while, the person in charge of the engineering team said.
"It doesn't matter!" Long before the mobilization, old man Li Yunshan had already made preparations for a long time.
"Okay." The leader of the engineering team nodded: "Then let's get started!"
Then it’s time to dig.
After taking a day to determine the excavation plan, the large-scale mountain-breaking excavation project began.
The ancient jungle was bulldozed by modern machines, and the roar of huge machinery sounded for the first time in this land that has lasted for tens of millions of years.
Countless animals were running away.
Engineers one after another were busy in the mountains, exploring many details and locations.
While they were busy, professional staff members also went to the underground area to prepare to strengthen the underground river channels to protect the safety of cultural relics.
Of course, many workers ensured absolute safety when performing these operations, and only entered the underground river when the project was stopped, resting, or working at a distance.
After all, it was just the beginning of the project. The mountain was huge. They explored the underground river and found that it was entirely located in the lower part of the mountain. It had not changed or collapsed for hundreds of years. At the beginning, after all, it was Relatively safe.
While the investigation was ongoing below, many engineering teams had also begun excavation in the outermost areas of the mountain.
no doubt.
Such a large ground-breaking project is destined to take a long time.
At least ten days and half a month, at most maybe two or three months.
Due to the terrain, large mechanical equipment cannot be used in many places. The most primitive method can only be used, allowing workers to start digging from weak points with small working instruments.
In the hot summer, workers one after another were working on the mountains.
They can be seen all over the mountains and plains.
Regarding all this, many workers in the engineering team did not have any objections.
If you can't use large equipment, then you can use small equipment, but it's just faster and slower.
Moreover, this trip seems to have been funded by a big boss, and all the workers received twice the salary. Even if they work for an extra month, they will still make a sure profit.
And as members of the professional engineering team, many of them have been doing this for many years. This is the first time they have encountered an archaeological excavation, and the scale is so large, so many of them are quite excited.
What's even more gratifying is that after they dig to a certain extent, they will occasionally unearth some ancient fragments in the land.
It's a pity that most of these fragments are broken, mottled, and covered with various kinds of rust.
Even if it is a long time ago, it no longer has much cultural relic value, let alone any economic value.
Many archaeologists have carefully collected these broken pottery and occasionally one or two pieces of broken ironware, but most of them have little identification value and will eventually be reassembled and buried underground.
After more than ten days of continuous digging, a lot of various things were unearthed, the most precious of which was just a fragment of jade.
It is about the width of two fingers and about six centimeters long. It was dug out of a piece of rocky soil.
On this jade, there are ancient patterns carved on it, and there is only half of the text left, which can barely be distinguished as the word "法".
"Law? What does this mean? Law, law?"
The archaeologists were puzzled, and their curiosity about the ruins under their feet became more and more intense.
What's down here?
It is recorded in unofficial history that this place was a ruin ordered by the First Emperor when he ascended the throne, and relevant ruin records have indeed been found in it.
But moving forward, a large number of claw marks and strange writings were discovered in the underground river.
And now, another jade jade with the word "法" has been unearthed.
What exactly is here?
Things became increasingly confusing.
However, despite their doubts, more and more excavations and more and more unearthed objects have given archaeologists great confidence!
"There must be ruins down here!"
"Dig quickly!"
But this peaceful digging time did not last long.
About a week after the excavation project started, some people began to notice that something was not right.
The first people to notice something was wrong were a few workers who were reinforcing the remains of the river channel in the underground waterway.
"Um?"
"Is there something wrong?"
In the dark underground river, ten searchlights were shining, and they were moving forward in the cold underground river.
But while walking, a light suddenly stopped.
He looked around with some confusion.
"Have we been to this place before?"
"came?"
Hearing his words, several other lights also stopped and illuminated the surroundings.
"no?"
"This underground river is only one road, how could it be possible to come here?"
This group of ten people is from the third team of the underground team of the engineering team. They are responsible for the reinforcement and consolidation of underground rivers.
This time we came down to fix a section of the underground river.
Now that it has been fixed, I am preparing to go back outside and get the steel bars to fix it again.
"Really?" The figure was confused and muttered, "It feels like I just walked past this place before."
The lights on the yellow helmets on their heads were shining, and the other nine people looked at the dark river and uneven rocks around them, and spoke helplessly.
"Are you wrong? If you keep walking in this closed environment, you will indeed have the illusion that you have been here before."
"More than 90% of them are wrong."
"How can it be possible to walk through such a river?"
After hearing the words of his companions, this man also scratched his head with some uncertainty.
"Is it an illusion?"
With doubts, the man didn't think much about it, followed the team and continued walking forward.
But walk and walk.
Everyone realized that something seemed a little wrong.
Because the place they set up is not very far from the ground.
On a normal journey, it only takes about half an hour to get back to the ground.
but now
"How is this going?"
"We have been walking for almost forty minutes, right? Why haven't we returned to the ground yet?"
An engineering staff member looked at his watch and frowned.
"I don't know either. Logically speaking, it should be here soon."
The remaining engineering staff said suspiciously, and the remaining engineering staff gradually frowned.
“It stands to reason that it shouldn’t be”
Before the word 'should' came out of his mouth, the engineer walking at the front suddenly widened his eyes, looked at the scene in front of him, and blurted out a curse word!
"What a fool?!"
"What's happening here!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly ran up.
However, when they saw clearly what this man saw, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead!
Because in front of it, a steel frame appeared at some point!
These steel frames are scattered around according to a certain pattern, supporting the upper and lower parts of the river. They are responsible for stably supporting this area, shining with an icy sheen in the dark cave.
And this steel frame that supports the cave
Surprisingly, it was the area that they were responsible for supporting not long ago!
"Why am I back?"
Seeing this scene, one of the engineering staff suddenly widened his eyes!
He was extremely panicked, "Didn't we follow the river and keep walking out? Why are we back here now?!"
Not only him, but several other engineering staff were also a little dumbfounded!
They hurried forward and observed carefully.
The silver solid steel frame was erected in the cave, like a spider web, densely supporting the place, criss-crossing it.
After a short observation, everyone's faces gradually began to look ugly.
That's right!
This is the steel frame they erected earlier!
But what is going on?
Why did you come back? ? ?
