After a while, Qian Dajun finally said: "This Yangluo shovel weighs about ten pounds, right?"
"With the two-meter steel pipe, it weighs almost eight kilograms."
Chen Wenzhe responded casually while cleaning up the excavated river mud.
"This steel pipe is really thick. Isn't it too heavy?"
"The weight is just right, and the gravity of the fall is enough to make holes quickly."
"Well, you still have experience. How about it? How thick is the soil underground?"
"What sealing soil? There is no sealing soil here!"
Chen Wenzhe realized that this old guy was trying to trick him!
"No? Even if there is an ancient tomb here, it's not that big!"
Qian Dajun was a little disappointed. When he saw Chen Wenzhe's actions, he thought he would get a big harvest this time, but he didn't expect it to be similar to what he expected.
"It's not big, at most it's the size of a small rural landowner." Chen Wenzhe said casually.
"Can you tell what period the ancient tomb is from?"
Although she was a little disappointed, Yuan Fangfang still asked.
Chen Wenzhe thought for a moment and said: "According to the history of our place, it should be at least more than three hundred years ago."
"Is it so difficult to deduce the age of this ancient tomb? Can't you tell by just looking at the seal?" Yuan Fangfang frowned.
"How is that possible? To date the ancient tomb, we must search for information. The ancestors of our village were not buried in this ancient tomb. No one knows the previous history, so we can only infer it to three to four hundred years ago."
"In the late Ming Dynasty, or the early Qing Dynasty, or even earlier, it has certain excavation value. Can you show us the seal?" Qian Dajun asked.
Chen Wenzhe knew that this was inevitable.
Take them directly to the place where they first went caving.
"I hit it unintentionally. I hit the real mound of earth just two meters deep. There must be something wrong with it. If I continue to hit it downwards, I still don't know what's going on."
"The situation is complicated? If this is the case, it would be better. It means that this ancient tomb is very valuable. Otherwise, how could there be protection measures?" Qian Dajun still has some experience.
After thinking for a while, Chen Wenzhe opened a new hole in another place.
After three or two blows, he knocked it down to a depth of more than one meter.
The mature soil at the top is very soft, so you can dig quickly. When you get to the bottom, there is already some loess layer.
After punching through this layer of loess, there is sealing soil underneath.
To put it simply, soil sealing means digging the grave, and the soil dug out will be backfilled in the end.
This is not the end, there is still a mound to be piled up.
For an emperor, the pile would be even bigger, or even pile up into a small mountain.
The sealing soil layer is soil that has been excavated before and then backfilled, so this soil will not be pure sand or loess.
As long as you have experience, you can dig holes layer by layer underground and dig out a layer of soil mixed with silt, which is likely to be the soil sealing layer.
The higher the standard of the tomb, the more special the sealing layer is, and the easier it is to identify it.
On the contrary, there are some small grave mounds in the countryside. The sealing is very random and not easy to identify.
While talking and drilling, Chen Wenzhe moved very quickly. In just ten minutes, he drilled down to a depth of more than three meters.
"I don't think there is any need to continue drilling downwards. There is probably a quicksand layer underneath."
After checking the seal, Chen Wenzhe stopped.
"Quicksand trap? If this is really the case, then we really have to keep fighting!"
Yuan Fangfang was already a little excited at this time. Even if she didn't understand, she knew that the thicker the soil layer, the higher the standard of the cemetery.
If there is a quicksand trap, it will definitely not be an ordinary mausoleum.
"Don't be too happy. It's normal for quicksand traps to appear here, because sand is produced here!"
As he spoke, Chen Wenzhe pointed to the creek not far away.
The streams flowing down from the mountains will not only bring soil, but also a large amount of sand.
There is sand in almost every piece of land here, but it can't be connected into a single piece and there isn't much.
However, every household uses sand to build houses, and digging some in the ground is enough.
Sure enough, after a few more blows, Yang Luo shoveled but nothing came out.
Needless to say, a layer of sand and gravel appeared below, which is also a layer of quicksand!
By drilling holes, Chen Wenzhe knew that the ground below had become very hard, completely different from the feeling of shoveling soil.
"We must dig it out!" Yuan Fangfang affirmed.
Qian Dajun also said: "It must be dug. After all, this is an ancient tomb protected by quicksand. Such an ancient tomb must not have been dug by tomb robbers. Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not talking about you!"
Chen Wenzhe's face turned dark. Are you pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey?
No, he shouldn't explain, and the explanation can't be explained to him. Is he a tomb robber?
"Old Qian, it's over. This little brother is an attempted tomb robber at best. How can you say that?"
At this moment, Sha Feiyue said with a smile.
Chen Wenzhe's face turned even darker. What kind of attempted tomb robbery?
He also has a saying mmp, I don’t know if I should say it or not!
"Haha, just kidding. This is the brother of my comrade. Otherwise, how could he have such awareness? They discovered the ancient tomb and immediately reported it."
Looking at the smiling Sha Feiyue, Chen Wenzhe felt that he must stay away from him in the future. He was a smiling tiger.
"Since we have decided to dig, we must act immediately. We hope to harvest something before dark. Only when we have harvested can we apply for protection!" Sha Feiyue made an immediate decision.
Silently putting away the Yangluo shovel, Chen Wenzhe calculated that the sealing soil below was definitely more than ten meters.
It is not easy to dig such a deep ancient tomb and be protected by quicksand.
Even if they use forklifts and excavators, they won't be able to dig it out for a while.
If we don’t have some means, even if we dig it out, we still don’t know how damaged the coffin in the ancient tomb will be!
Originally, he wanted to remind these people, which would at least save them some effort, but now, haha, he just wanted to watch the fun.
Seeing Chen Wenzhe about to push the cart away, Li Qingtian immediately came over.
"Your expression is wrong. It feels a little malicious. Is there something wrong with you?"
Chen Wenzhe raised his head and said expressionlessly: "I think there's something wrong with your brain."
"Tell me, otherwise I will remind those people. Look, fans like me want to know how to avoid the quicksand trap smoothly."
Chen Wenzhe glanced at his mobile phone and felt that it was too messy. There were many people sending gifts and even more messages, so he couldn't see clearly at all.
The most important thing is that the achievements given to him now are not worth much.
Don’t even bother with useless things!
"It seems that I have to find a manager. There are so many people asking and I can't answer them!"
Chen Wenzhe ignored him, and Li Qingtian continued to urge, "Hurry up, another brother is working on the Rockets. How can we attract people to stay if we don't have some exciting information?"
"There is nothing to say. They are not tomb robbers. Even if there is quicksand, it will not threaten them!"
"Tell me more about it. Why can't you threaten them?"
