Wonders have appeared in the underground tombs, which is undoubtedly extremely inspiring news.
Compared to the crowd in the studio and the audience watching the live broadcast, the archaeologists on site were undoubtedly more excited.
But apart from causing a small-scale commotion, both the experts and the security guards still adhered to the work procedures. The host and photographer blushed and wanted to run over to have a sneak peek, but they were pulled back.
The work was still going on in an orderly manner, but the speed was obviously accelerated.
The audience wanted to see the true appearance of the bridge as soon as possible, but they could only wait.
Fortunately, the corridor is not long, and there are not many cultural relics inside. The floor tiles are not damaged like yesterday, and they are almost clearly visible. With concerted efforts, all the clay pots and arrowheads were collected in less than half an hour.
The archaeological team just left the corridor.
After descending the third step, I saw a stone bridge standing in the darkness.
Because someone brought the searchlight over, the picture presented to the audience was clearer and brighter than the robot's camera.
This place should be built based on a natural cave. Except for the steps, roads and stone bridges at the feet, there are no traces of man-made artifacts.
"It's so high..." Someone shined a searchlight toward the bottom of the cliff, but only a little bit of the image below could be seen.
Slowly moving the searchlight upward, I was finally able to clearly see the smooth cliff on the opposite side.
Going up further, you can actually see the roof of the cave, but the left and right are completely dark, and you can't see the boundary, which shows how big this space is.
"There may be cultural relics down there, do you want to go down and have a look?"
There are not many artificial traces on the pillars supporting the stone bridge, and they seem to be formed naturally. However, such a large project is not easy to accomplish, and the ancients must have sacrificed a lot.
It is very likely that there will be tools, even bones, and ancient equipment left when building the bridge.
With these discoveries, the construction method of this stone bridge may become more intuitive in the eyes of experts.
The members of the archaeological team gathered together, discussed for a while, and then reached a consensus to move forward. As for the bottom of the abyss, they waited until rock climbing and protective equipment were in place before exploring.
While the robot is exploring the path, preliminary measurements can be made first.
This scene was played exactly as it was.
"In the absence of protection, it is a wise choice to temporarily put it on hold and wait for support. And the things on the other side of the bridge may be more valuable." Mr. Xu and Mr. Wei looked at each other, nodded in praise, and then faced the camera again: "Presumably
The Archaeological Bureau has already begun preparations to survey the abyss, and I believe that not long after, everything underneath will be revealed to everyone."
I don’t know how the outside audience will react. The audience’s attention did not seem to be on the two old professors. Almost all their eyes were on the big screen.
Just because the robot was started again, the screen was divided into two pieces again.
In the camera lens, the robot slowly melted into the darkness.
But the feedback from the robot is extremely monotonous.
Fortunately, this strange scene did not last long. After about a few minutes, a huge stone platform appeared in front of him.
"There's a corpse on the other side..." A cry came from the screen...
------------------
The archaeological team's process of crossing the bridge was relatively slow. Although a robot weighing enough for two adults passed successfully, it shows that the stone bridge can bear a good load.
No traps were triggered, and no abnormality was found during the scan, proving that the bridge is relatively safe.
But this is no better than a tomb passage, where an accident could be fatal.
Therefore, the archaeological team was very cautious. First, two strong men carrying guns outside protective clothing carefully explored the path. After successfully passing, people successively stepped onto the stone bridge in groups.
Finally, except for a few who stayed behind, everyone else arrived at the platform smoothly.
"Huh?" Mei Qian said softly. In the live broadcast, it is not convenient to give a close-up of the corpse, so the camera is far away and it flashes by.
But in this second, he could clearly see a shriveled corpse lying two meters away from the stone bridge.
What surprised him was that the corpse was dressed in mountaineering clothing, overalls, and travel shoes. It was clearly a modern outfit, and it was definitely very recent.
There must be criminal investigation experts in the archaeological team, and there is more than one. I saw a few people approaching and talking in low voices. Because of the distance, the sound was quite blurry.
Mei Qian heard it clearly, and Youdao's voice was particularly familiar: "... Died by cutting his throat with a sharp weapon, possibly due to internal strife among the gang..."
He raised his eyebrows and instantly had the urge to call.
Good guy, is it because Zhang Yu has experience in going to tombs that he was specially hired to be a security guard this time? Well, and he is also doing forensic work?
However, he was no longer in the mood to care about this.
"Quick, look ahead..." Zhou Yuze's excited voice came again, and then the camera turned in a different direction, and then, a bronze four-legged cauldron appeared on the big screen.
Mei Qian moved his eyes away with emotion and looked at Professor Xu opposite.
Meeting the old man's playful eyes, he twitched the corner of his mouth, then recovered and focused on the screen again, putting on an expressionless look.
In fact, I was secretly cursing the system for being a monster.
Because this cauldron looked exactly the same as the one he buried, he guessed correctly. The cauldron was indeed removed from the tomb by the system.
The evidence that Xiadu's ancient tomb was stolen is indeed the bronze tripod.
And it is obvious that Mr. Xu seems to have some understanding of the ins and outs, and knows a lot, otherwise he would not show such an intriguing look.
Mei Qian knew that there were inscriptions on the inner wall of the bronze tripod. As first-hand documentation, its value was simply inestimable.
Naturally, archaeologists discovered it right away. At this time, experts had already come close to study it. They were busy taking pictures and recording.
That is to say, Zhou Yuze and the cameraman had been paying attention to the corpse before, so their reaction was a little slower.
As the cameraman got closer, more details of the ancient tripod were exposed to the world, and the voices of experts communicating became clearer.
"It's strange. In such an environment, why is there dust on the tripod? It seems like it has been soaked in water?"
"The air humidity here is much higher than before, and the soil under our feet is relatively thick. It may be because dust or sand has fallen from above for a long time."
"Asshole, look here, the traces are so obvious, it means there should be another cauldron that was stolen by the tomb robbers."
"Will..."
But at this moment, the conversation stopped suddenly, and almost everyone on the screen stood up straight and listened.
Compared to other spectators who were confused, Mei Qian's hearing was better, and he clearly heard a "rumbling" sound.
"Not good!" His expression changed, he slammed the table and shouted: "Quick, tell them to evacuate quickly..."
He shouted loudly, and for a moment, all the eyes in the studio were focused on him.
The host Duan Chuan was stunned and wanted to ask, but Mr. Xu was the first to react. He grabbed the microphone for communicating with the front line and shouted: "Quick, run away..."
But when he said this, the "rumbling" sound was getting louder and louder. In fact, there was no need to remind the people in the ancient tomb that they also realized that something was wrong, so they hurriedly put down the work at hand and hurried to the bridge.
Immediately afterwards, the picture on the screen began to shake violently, and at first rapid breathing and footsteps could be heard, but gradually, all sounds were obscured by the loud rumbling sound.
It was as if there was thunder all around, and it was like entering a mountain torrent. The picture shook even more violently, and then there was a flash of snowflakes, and the big screen in the studio went completely black.
The last scene everyone saw was that in the corridor where the archaeological team came from, a large stream of water mixed with sand shot out. Gradually, the entire corridor collapsed...
The bronze tripod with inscriptions is of great significance from an archaeological point of view.
Sure enough, an expert trotted over in the next second.
