Fortunately, Chen Wenzhe and the others are not tomb robbers, but Captain Jin. This time, he represents the official government, and they can come and dig as they please, and they can dig as they please!
Otherwise, it would just be digging a robbery hole and encountering quicksand and suspicious coffins. As long as it is triggered, someone will definitely be unlucky.
Such a setting will definitely shorten the time spent underground. If there is a slight collapse or quicksand pours in, if you stay for a minute longer, you may be buried alive.
"Suspicious coffin?" Everyone around was surprised when they heard it.
"Click..."
At this moment, the coffin had been completely crushed, and as it collapsed, the sand and gravel on it fell rapidly.
Unfortunately, there is only sand and gravel less than one meter thick on top, so it really doesn't have much power.
However, it is still very dangerous at close range, because some sharp stones quickly collapsed and were exposed to everyone not far away.
"This is a polished stone. It is indeed a trap!"
"A sharp stone specially placed in the quicksand? It is indeed vicious!"
"If you are a tomb robber, you will definitely not be spared!"
"Grave robbers can only dig holes to rob. When they encounter this kind of trap, they have no way to escape!"
Hindsight always makes the most sense, but because of cause and effect, many people immediately understood how dangerous it was before.
"If you encounter a quicksand trap, do you know how to deal with it?"
The place where the suspicious coffin was exposed has collapsed into a slope. As long as you don't dig underneath, there is no danger.
At this time, Chen Wenzhe's tone became very bad.
As the persons in charge, how could Qian Dajun and Yuan Fangfang make such a low-level mistake?
"How to deal with it? Just dig it out from above?" Yuan Fangfang was stunned and replied.
"Dig from top to bottom, right? Now? You have dug from bottom to top. Uncapping is the best way to deal with quicksand traps. How could you forget?"
Chen Wenzhe hated the fact that iron cannot become steel. If they were careful enough, the suspicious coffin would not be lost.
"The method of uncovering the roof? What is the method of uncovering the roof?" Yuan Fangfang asked in shock.
Seeing Qian Dajun also looking confused, Chen Wenzhe didn't know what to say.
You don’t know anything, but you dare to dig such an ancient tomb?
Not wanting to say anything more, Chen Wenzhe took a detour and came to the other side of the collapsed sand pit.
I stepped on it hard to make some moving sand and gravel layers sink down, so that the top would be safe.
"Did you see it? Digging down from here and peeling off the sand and gravel on the top layer by layer is called the topping method. This is the safest way."
After all, he was hired with 30,000 yuan. Chen Wenzhe explained a little under Qian Dajun's eager expression.
"Now that we have dug up the coffin, we have found the right target. There are at least three coffins around. Should we dig out all of them, or should we dig out the real coffin first?"
"Dig the coffins, and once you have gained something, go back and clean up the coffins!" Yuan Fangfang said immediately.
Qian Dajun could only nod. He also knew that it was time to show off, otherwise the pressure would be too great.
Chen Wenzhe stopped talking and stood up to observe carefully.
This ancient tomb has at least 11 meters of sand under the fill layer, and it is estimated that there should have been more than 3,000 cubic meters of sand initially.
These sands are all very pure yellow fine sand, and their fluidity is the same as that of sand in the desert.
If it is a tomb robbery, so much sand will flow into the robbery hole, and there will be no return. No wonder many tomb robbers stop at the sight of sand.
After careful calculation, the coffin should be placed in the middle of the accumulated sand, and there are carefully buried stones in the accumulated sand.
"Come over with the excavator and excavate this side of Cong. There should be accumulation of stones. The accumulation of stones is the kind of dangerous stone."
"Be careful, be slow, sometimes slower is faster!"
"Here, at this location, there are also accumulated stones!"
Under Chen Wenzhe's command, he first removed the accumulated stones in the quicksand above according to the direction of the suspicious coffin.
According to the area here, there must be at least more than 1,000 stones in the quicksand layer. These stones vary in size, ranging from 3 to 165 kilograms.
Another thing they have in common is that the edges are very sharp. They are obviously deliberately polished or selected by humans, and their lethality cannot be underestimated.
The principle is to use the fluidity of sand to move these accumulated stones, causing damage to tomb robbers.
Because the tomb robbers do not know the specific structural distribution, they will inevitably touch the quicksand area.
The power generated by the flow of quicksand will cause the stone to collapse.
People are buried alive under the sand and rocks, so tomb robbers often don't dare to rob in a large area. Once they see the sand, they will already have lingering fears.
Unfortunately, these methods can prevent thieves, but not officials.
Often official thieves are the most terrifying, such as Mojin Xiaowei, which was the first official official thieves organization.
Later, after Huang Chao and Sun Dianying and others carried it forward, the current national archaeological team came into being.
As the accumulated stones on the upper level were cleared away, the suspicious coffin that was crushed just now was also cleared out.
It was a willow coffin made of high-quality material and covered with thick black paint, which made it still as bright as new after hundreds of years.
Qian Dajun wiped the coffin with his hand and looked at the scratches on it with a heartbroken look on his face.
This was originally part of his contribution, but it was a pity that he hesitated and invited Chen Wenzhe a few minutes late, which resulted in irreparable losses. How could he not feel distressed?
"There are only some scraps of silk and satin inside, it should be a tomb!"
"Some stone sticks were found here, which should be used to support the accumulated stones on the coffin to prevent it from easily crushing the coffin."
"Judging from various circumstances, we can only dig it all out from above and use stupid methods. Otherwise, problems will occur if we are not careful."
"We all know the method of uncovering the roof."
"Xiao Chen, where is the real coffin?"
"It's right here. Do you want me to check it out? It's very simple. Just put a steel drill and you'll know."
"Forget it, let's dig slowly so as not to damage the coffin below."
"Attention to the excavator, do not transport away the sand taken from above, and pave the hole dug below."
"Be careful, there is probably a coffin coming here soon."
"Here we are, haha, my judgment is indeed accurate, it's really eleven meters!"
"Holy shit, it's made of stone? With this specification, it's still a stone coffin. It's older than previously thought. It looks like it's from the Tang Dynasty?"
"Let me see, let me see..."
This time more people came up, because they all knew that there was no danger in standing at a high place.
"Don't crowd, I'm warning you, don't come up..."
Seeing the danger, Chen Wenzhe immediately stood up and scanned his surroundings. Unexpectedly, only policeman Zhang Ligong was at the scene.
It seems that this ancient tomb has not attracted the attention of the higher authorities!
However, this is different now. A huge stone coffin has appeared, and people will definitely come from it.
Not wanting to crowd in front, Chen Wenzhe withdrew from the crowd and came to the place where the coffin was suspected to have been damaged.
