In City X, there is an abandoned dry well in Zhengjiazhuang, about three kilometers south of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.

A hundred meters away from the dry well, a circle of yellow warning tape has been set up around an area of ​​nearly ten thousand square meters of land.

The alert level is very high, and you can even see armed police armed with live weapons and nuclear bombs standing guard around the cordon. Those who don't know may think that some serious murder has occurred here.

And above the dry well, a rather high-standard plastic shed was erected, almost completely enclosing the dry well.

There are many staff members wearing protective clothing running in and out here constantly.

These protective clothing are obviously not to protect themselves, but to prevent any bacteria from being brought into the greenhouse.

At 9:47 in the morning, the door of the sterilization room of the greenhouse was opened again, and several tired old people who had just taken off their protective clothing walked out.

"Lao Fan, what do you say?"

"I think we're close." Fan Zeng's breathing seemed a little rapid.

He was indeed old, and if it wasn't for this astonishing discovery that kept stimulating his nerves, he wouldn't be able to survive things like staying up all night.

This dry well should be a product of the Qing Dynasty. The well is not deep, only about four or five meters high. There is an underground river connected below, but it has dried up long ago and has been abandoned for who knows how many years.

Yesterday morning, when a group of children were playing nearby, a child accidentally fell in. When the adults were called to rescue him, the child was holding a few copper coins in his hand, saying that he had picked them up in the well.

.

The city of

The adults were naturally excited and thought there was treasure underground, so they pulled the rope down to explore.

Unexpectedly, the treasure was not found. They followed the dry underground river to the depths and pushed aside some broken stone walls. Instead, they saw large pieces of dead bones. They were so frightened that they quickly escaped and told the story.

Reported to local government.

Then of course they immediately protected the scene. Police officers from the Public Security Bureau came around first, but found that these withered bones were very old and were not a murder scene at all. Moreover, they also saw a huge stone door, which was obviously some kind of ancient relic.

, and then experts from the First Emperor’s Mausoleum Research Institute were called in for on-site inspection. It was already after three o’clock yesterday afternoon...

Fan Zeng and others sat on a small bench outside the greenhouse to take a rest. They were all elderly people. Although their spirits were high due to their important discovery, their physical strength was still low.

They drank the mineral water handed to them by the staff, but even during this short break, they could not stop the excitement on their faces and the heated discussions continued.

There are not too many dead bones inside, only about a few dozen. After dating the bones, it has been determined that they are from the Qin Dynasty.

Most of them may be due to people entering hastily and pushing the stone walls and mounds that originally isolated the site, causing airflow or vibration, causing the already weathered bones to be broken into pieces or powder, leaving only the remains on the ground.

There are some traces left which are very regrettable.

But this is no longer important compared to another discovery. What is important is the door!

Not to mention the exquisite carvings on the door that are well preserved and exude a strong Qin style, but the nine large characters engraved on the lower right side are the key to making Fan Zeng and other experts burst into tears.

‘South Gate of Underground Palace, Supervised by Li Si’

Underground Palace, Zhennan Gate, Li Si!

For anyone who studies the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, any one of these three words has infinite magic power, let alone appearing together.

What does this mean? There is no need to think too much at all. The legend is true and the south passage of the underground palace has been found!

After an intensive night of emergency investigation, they have initially obtained a lot of information of great significance.

First, Fan Zeng and the others did not detect unusual mercury elements in the nearby soil, but behind the huge stone gate, the mercury content was surprisingly high, which proved that the passage blocked by the huge stone was an almost completely enclosed space.

, and it is most likely to use an all-stone structure, and its sealing performance and anti-penetration performance are amazingly good.

Secondly, the advanced instrument that was planned to be returned to foreign research institutions was urgently transferred last night, and new major discoveries were made.

They worked on the surface, centered on this dry well, and with the help of underground detection instruments, they quickly discovered a huge underground passage leading to the Tomb of the First Emperor.

"No wonder Lao Fan you can't find this passage near the Mausoleum of the First Emperor," Wang Weiguo said excitedly: "Your instrument can only detect 20 meters underground at most. Judging from the length and restoration slope of this passage, etc.

When it extended into Lishan Mountain, this passage had already dived into the ground for at least twenty meters, or even thirty meters. That is, at the entrance of the gate, it was only a few meters deep from the surface, and your damn instrument could detect it.

!”

"Those dead bones outside the gate should be the craftsmen who were killed when the tomb was sealed. Judging from the body parts and posture, it looks like they just rushed out of the gate to escape, but were shot and stabbed to death by the Qin army.

of."

"But if that's the case, why didn't the Qin army collect the bodies of these craftsmen, but let them fall outside the gate?"

"This still requires detailed research to get the answer..."

"However, a considerable part of the tools held by these craftsmen are iron tools! This is a major discovery. We always thought that bronze tools were commonly used in the Qin Dynasty, but we did not expect..."

"The use of iron tools represents the symbolic meaning of civilization! It completely subverts many of the conclusions we have drawn before because of the terracotta warriors and horses!"

"It's amazing, this is amazing! Not to mention the underground palace itself, just the discovery last night has overturned everything we know about Qin Dynasty's industry, geology, smelting level, construction level...

!”

"What a powerful ancient dynasty this is!"

Everyone was discussing it heatedly, and Fan Zeng was so excited that his face turned red.

Although this discovery overturned the paper he published not long ago and would inevitably be ridiculed by insiders, this discovery was significant. For him who loved archeology, he could discover the beginning of the archeology before his death.

With such an important secret of the imperial mausoleum, he already felt that he had no regrets in life. How could this little face compare?

"There really is a north-south passage, there really are iron tools, and it's really in Zhengjiazhuang..." Old Fan said excitedly, but before he could finish his words, he was suddenly startled.

He felt that all this seemed very familiar before, but he had been in an overly excited state from yesterday to now, eager to explore various things, and had no time to think about it, but then he suddenly thought...

He stood up suddenly, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Isn't this the paper written by that brat Lin Shuhang? And all its conclusions are exactly the same as all the major discoveries made last night!

Is that kid really relying on his imagination? Can you imagine this?
