Digging is not about digging hard with a hoe, but using a small hoe to dig gently, bit by bit!
You can't force the hoe into the ground, but slowly hang it down like scraping.
After scraping it off, all the soil should not be thrown away, but should be packed into fixed bags, which are usually disposable plastic bags. One bag usually contains 1200 grams. This kind of bag is usually carried at home.
The kind with white sugar and the kind with hose seal.
Many people should have seen it.
The cost is very low and there are many in China.
One is probably a little over a kilogram of soil.
The sand is not as fine as it looks, because you want to make sure nothing gets accidentally dug out and then goes undiscovered!
There are many such cases, so we need to be particularly careful. This is also the reason why the progress of the archaeological site is very slow.
Everyone is scraping.
Lin Fan also joined the ranks of scrapers. To be precise, he was the first to scrape, but he was also the fastest. While others were still busy with the first bag of soil, Lin Fan was already the third generation.
The soil is easy to dig because it has been dried in the sun, so scraping is very convenient. Generally, you need to dig a hole first and then slowly expand the hole. With a shovel and a small dustpan, the efficiency is very fast.
Slowly, a small pit appeared in front of Lin Fan. Lin Fan looked at the professor beside him with a smile and said, "Professor Liu, how about you come to my place?"
"Why, do you think my old man is getting older?"
"That's right, I have to take care of you!"
"Okay, then I'm welcome!"
Teacher Liu and Lin Fan changed their positions. A hole has been dug here, which is the best for scraping. Now that the hole has been dug, you can actually use a brush to slowly brush away the soil.
After Lin Fan changed positions, his efficiency did not decrease. After quickly digging one, he gave it to other experts.
He knows what is there, but he will not take it for himself, because it belongs to the country, and everyone is working hard to contribute to the country.
"There's something!"
Suddenly, a person on the side shouted, and everyone looked over, but no one stood up. This was the rule, because there were many potholes around. It is easy to rush in when the ground is uneven.
A collision, or even a fall, can lead to unexpected dangers.
Anyway, if you want to take a look at this time, the best way is to stand up, slowly walk outside the pit, and then wait for someone to dig out the things!
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Song, Mr. Wang, you guys can go up and have a rest. We young people can just stay down below. Something just happened to come out. Please go up and have a look!"
Mr. Zhou must be resting in the tent. The wires were also pulled over here, and the electric fan was blowing on Mr. Zhou. Lin Fan and others did not have electric fans here. This thing must not blow people. Once it blew, the entire pit would be blown.
It's all sand and dust.
Isn’t that seeking death?
"Okay, then I'll spare the trouble for you young people!"
Several elderly people really couldn't stand it anymore. It took an hour from squatting to kneeling.
Lin Fan and others carefully helped the professors to the edge of Pit No. 1, and then the person on the side who shouted that there was something quickly and carefully took out something.
"This is...a fragment of bronze!"
Lin Fan took one look and immediately concluded that these things were fragments of bronze.
"Bronze, that means this one wasn't rushed over?"
The students who excavated it were also very excited. This was the first thing unearthed in Pit No. 1.
"Send it to the professors. We're not 100% sure yet. Please be careful and see if there's anything else underneath, in case there's still a whole device!"
Lin Fan said with a smile, and then continued to dig!
This thing is already buried so shallowly, so there must be something underneath.
Soon, Lin Fan also raised his hand and shouted: "I have something here too!"
A piece of pottery was excavated by Lin Fan. Although it was not a porcelain piece or a bronze piece, if you want to study it, the pottery piece is actually more suitable for research.
Slowly taking out the whole piece of pottery, Lin Fan put it directly into a bag and handed it to the soldier on the side. The soldier quickly took the bag containing the pottery and sent it to the tent!
"I have one here too!"
Soon, people around me started shouting, and it was obvious that everyone was starting to find something!
"How deep is this!"
Lin Fan was shocked because the depth was really not deep!
I found that it was only about 12 centimeters.
That's just as deep as a fist for some people.
"It's too shallow. Please be careful and be gentle, especially under your feet!"
Lin Fan shouted, this burial is too shallow. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be buried so shallow, but now it seems that it is either the movement of the earth's crust, or the ruins have been directly cut across the ruins, removing large chunks of the remains.
part of the soil.
Everyone said they would be careful, and Lin Fan continued to dig. Within five minutes, the following outline appeared!
"I found something here!"
Lin Fan yelled again, and this time, after Lin Fan shouted to play, it took a full ten minutes before he took out something!
"This is... complete pottery!"
Everyone exclaimed, including Lin Fan, but in fact, although the pottery in front of them was complete, it already had cracks.
However, this does not prevent this from being a complete piece of unearthed pottery!
The unearthing of the pottery made everyone even more excited, but Lin Fan frowned slightly and looked at the other pits!
"What's wrong?"
A middle-aged archaeologist next to him asked Lin Fan. Lin Fan said worriedly: "It's too shallow. It's really too shallow. I'm afraid that other pits have been affected!"
"Then there's nothing we can do. We can only speed up and dig them out as soon as possible!"
"Um!"
Soon, new pottery was excavated. There were a lot of things unearthed in the Sanxingdui pit, of which pottery accounted for the vast majority.
"What's this?"
A young man suddenly exclaimed and dug out a black thing. Lin Fan took a look at it and immediately laughed and said, "This is a good thing!"
"nice one?"
Everyone looked at the black lump in the young man's hand, and a girl suddenly exclaimed: "This is precious metal!"
"That's right, judging from how it looks after oxidation, this should be a piece of gold!"
"Gold!"
Everyone exclaimed. Although the gold did not belong to them, being able to dig out gold was indeed exciting news in the archaeological industry.
After all, archeology can be considered excavation work, and it will be really interesting to see what can be unearthed.
For archaeologists, what they want to dig out most is the same thing as a tomb robber.
That’s the coffin!
But, I’m sorry, even if there were, it wouldn’t be these young people’s turn to dig it!
The emergence of gold soon had a chain reaction. A large amount of gold, silver, and bronze were constantly being excavated. Lin Fan checked the depth and was sure that there was an earthquake below, which shook a bunch of things.
’s piled together!
"The variables are a bit big, I hope it can be well preserved!"
Sure enough, as Lin Fan expected, the things coming out from below began to become chaotic, including gold, silver, copper, iron, jade, shellfish, and all kinds of bones!
"Come here and help me, I have a big thing here!"
Lin Fan suddenly shouted. When people around him looked around, several people of Lin Fan's age came over quickly and saw a bronze statue appearing in Lin Fan's pit.
"This is...the Bronze Man!"
Everyone cheered because Lin Fan had removed his head, and it was a bronze standing man wearing a high hat.
"Dig quickly!"
A group of experts quickly lay down next to Lin Fan and helped start scraping. They scraped down bit by bit, but were surprised to find that this thing was really big!
"Come here, change the shift, this is a one-to-one bronze standing figure!"
It took half an hour to clean up to the shoulders, which meant that the one-to-one bronze statue was obviously too big and too tall.
Several experts were exhausted. Lin Fan directly called for replacement. Soon young students came over and started cleaning up. A group of young and energetic young men were replaced and helped with scraping with excited faces. One hour, two hours
, for three and a half hours, a deep pit of nearly three meters appeared.
Then, in the deep pit, a huge bronze standing figure with human body proportions, standing on a bronze platform, was excavated.
"Quick, someone help me, be careful!"
A three-meter-high bronze standing statue was moved out and slowly brought to the tent. Lin Fan didn't care about anything else, because there was something down there!
"If you want to see it, go see it. If you don't want to see it, come here and follow me to dig. There are more here!"
There are not many bronzes. There are at least three pieces in Lin Fan's pit. They were all unearthed from a small portion when digging for bronze statues. However, the bronze statue has the highest priority.
This bronze standing figure was an absolute national treasure, but Lin Fan had many opportunities to see it, and he had seen it many times in his previous life. He did not expect that in this life, this thing would appear in his own hands.
In fact, from the time when Lin Fan traveled through time and space, this was a parallel world. Isn't it normal for there to be places that are a little different from the original time and space?
Soon, everyone came over to help!
"ah!"
A girl suddenly exclaimed. Lin Fan looked over and saw a familiar face!
Sanxingdui Bronze Mask, with pillars on the eyes, is said to be an alien bronze mask!
"This...what is this!"
The girl was frightened, but Lin Fan smiled and said: "This is a bronze mask for sacrifice, don't be afraid!"
"This...why is it so weird!"
"Of course. Judging from the things unearthed so far, this thing has a history of at least three thousand years. What dynasty was our country in three years ago?"
"Shang Dynasty?"
"Yes, but at present, the level of craftsmanship is obviously not as good as that of the Shang Dynasty. What does that mean?"
"It means...this is earlier than the Shang Dynasty!"
"The enemy!"
Lin Fan said with a smile, and then comforted: "Then if you look at it this way, this thing is earlier than the Shang Dynasty. If you think about it again, can the appearance of this weird-looking thing be explained?"
"Um……"
In fact, the culture of Sanxingdui lasted for more than three thousand years. To be precise, it was from 5000 to 3000, because there are still many mysteries here. Of course, the main eras are almost known.
After all, our country is the only one in the world that writes its history in books and records it and passes it on.
If there is information left by our ancestors, it would be easy to explain.
Soon, the excavation started again. There were more than one such bronze mask. Soon someone dug out another one. Different from the ones with handles on the eyes, some had big noses and some had empty eyes, but they all had one characteristic.
It's just very weird.
"have lunch!"
The morning passed, and Mr. Zhou's nurse came over to call for help. Then everyone tidied up, washed up, and went to have lunch.
Lunch was very sumptuous.
"We have to thank Yuhao for this. Yuhao provided a large amount of beef, sheep, and pork. Our scientific research work is also quite difficult. It is too little to eat meat on site!"
Mr. Zhou looked at the braised pork slowly filling the steel basin with a smile on his face.
"Look what you said, I'm here too, can't I have a taste of the army's craftsmanship?"
The people who cook the food are the army, because military control is required here. After all, someone has picked up gold inside, so in order to avoid the second destruction of the place, the police are no longer enough, so they go directly to the army.
“Eat more if you like it!”
The squad leader of the cooking class gave Lin Fan a full spoonful of braised pork.
"Don't...stop, for those behind me, I want gravy, so pour this bucket of rice all over!"
Lin Fan pointed to the bucket of rice in his hand, and Mr. Zhou was amazed: "When I was young, I could eat so much!"
"Then you are so awesome, I will only eat half of it!"
"Boy, don't brag!"
The old man was unconvinced and wanted to take the steamed buns and look down on Lin Fan, but then he was grabbed by his side. This is really incomparable. The old man's stomach is normal, but if he overeats, he will be sent directly to the hospital!
"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhou, can you stop competing with me?"
"That won't work, my old man just won't admit defeat!"
The old man was actually just joking. Lin Fan was really tired this morning, so he wanted to let Lin Fan relax.
Holding the rice bowl, it was really a rice bowl. Lin Fan's was a stainless steel soup bucket, which was full of rice, with three chicken drumsticks on top, and then the soup that had been soaked!
Then there is a large plate of fried lotus root slices.
"That's all you order?"
"That's enough. I'm not saving. I really want to eat. The total cost of a meal here is not enough for me to have a meal in Xiangjiang. I really want to eat these!"
Lin Fan said calmly, stuffing big mouthfuls of soup rice into his mouth.
All true foodies know that rice in soup is the most delicious. Mix broth, vegetable soup, and white rice. Good guy, let alone vegetables, Lin Fan can eat a big bowl without using anything else.
Seeing Lin Fan eating with big mouthfuls, everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Mr. Zhou broke open a mouthful of steamed buns, ate it with big mouthfuls, and said: "Hey, look at how delicious your food is!"
Lin Fan swallowed a mouthful of rice and said with a smile: "I'm hungry, and the monitor's cooking skills are really good!"
A thumbs up to the monitor of the cooking class, who looked happy.
Lin Fan had a bowl of rice, at least one and a half kilograms. After eating, he touched his belly, looked at the leftovers, walked over, and had another bowl.
"Soup!"
"..."
"Still eating, can you bear it?"
"Don't worry, I'm almost forty, and I'm not young. I know my own body well. I usually just eat to my satisfaction at home. I have a lot of work today, and I still have a whole afternoon, so eat more!"
"Don't break it!"
"I can't stand it anymore. Where are we now? I ate a whole roasted lamb by myself back then!"
"Oh, that's awesome!"
Everyone thought Lin Fan was bragging, but after eating the second bucket full of rice, everyone was dumbfounded!
