Chapter 255

The inventor of Luoyang shovel is the local tomb robber in Luoyang. Since the beginning of last century, the magic Luoyang shovel has made ten tombs and nine empty tombs in Mangshan area of Luoyang, which is the most concentrated area of ancient tombs in China, and a large number of cultural relics have been exported. Luoyang shovel is notorious for this.

However, everything has two sides. The invention of Luoyang shovel is not without a good side.

Wei Juxian, a famous archaeologist, witnessed the use of Luoyang shovel by tomb robbers in 1928, and then used it for archaeological drilling. He played an important role in the excavation of the famous Yin Ruins and Yanshi commercial city in China. Nowadays, it is the basic skill of every archaeologist to learn to use Luoyang shovel to distinguish the soil.

Professor Qin saw that everyone was very interested in Luoyang shovel, so he picked up a Luoyang shovel and explained it to everyone:

"our common Luoyang shovel clip is 2 inches wide, and the width is U-shaped semicircle. The upper part of the shovel is equipped with a long handle. Although Luoyang shovel looks semicircle, its shape is not round or flat. The most important thing is to build the arc when forming."

"If a good Luoyang shovel is finished, it can be driven into the ground for more than ten meters, or even tens of meters, after the shovel is lifted, a bucket of soil will be brought out from the inside of the shovel head."

"In this way, we will continue to drill deep underground. We will analyze the soil structure, color, density and various inclusions of different soil layers. If it is Wuhua soil that has been moved by later generations, there may be tombs or ancient buildings underground."

When Li Beibei heard this, she asked curiously, "Professor Qin, what is the five flower soil?"

Professor Qin explained with a smile: "when the ancients built a cave tomb, they had to dig a rectangular hole in the ground, dig a few meters down, and dig a cave horizontally. After the funeral, the gate of the tomb should be sealed, and the natural soil dug up and piled up on the ground should be filled into the passage of the tomb and rammed layer upon layer. "

"After excavation and backfilling, the natural soil is turned over and stirred twice, which disturbs the original layers and color boundaries, and turns into a flower soil mixed with various soil layers. This is the five flower soil or the big flower soil. Even though it is very old, it can not be combined."

"In addition to the five flower soil, if ceramics, iron, copper, gold and wood are found in the soil, we can infer the nature and layout of the underground collection."

"In addition, some of our experienced staff can judge the underground situation by the different sounds made by the Luoyang shovel colliding with the ground and the feeling of their hands. For example, the rammed wall is definitely quite different from the hollow tomb and the passage."

After listening to Professor Qin's explanation, everyone nodded clearly. At this time, Chu Chen observed the probe holes on the ground and asked, "Professor Qin, do these probe holes have any specific requirements? I think it seems that there are rules here."

Professor Qin said with a smile: "of course, there are still requirements. For example, we usually organize a certain number of drilling teams according to the size of the required drilling area, and carry out general exploration within the specified scope."

"The process of general exploration is generally to set up general exploration points on the ground, and the requirements are to drill an eye every one meter regardless of the vertical and horizontal to form a grid network. In addition, holes should be drilled in the center of each square. That is to make a hole in the center of the four eyes within one square meter, which is commonly known as "plum blossom point."

"In this way, the nearest distance of each hole is within one meter, and the probe holes are dense to ensure no leakage. Then send technicians to inspect the suspicious holes found in the process of general exploration to explore the scope, diameter and edge shape of the problem. "

After Professor Rao Luochen and Li Bei introduced the working process of the shovel to everyone, they were interested in it.

However, some things look easy, but it is difficult to do them.

Fortunately, Chu Chen said that he had the ability to never forget, and he was also very good at doing things. After several attempts, he made a good model. Professor Qin met him and praised him as a natural archaeologist.

On the other side, Li Beibei's performance is undoubtedly much worse. Because her shovel holding posture is not standard enough, and her personal use habits and other reasons, she often makes the hole crooked, so the staff beside her keep correcting her, but even so, her hole is still a little crooked.

Li Beibei is frustrated by the fact that she often makes crooked holes, and the posture is not standard enough to make her palm hurt. However, she sees that Chu Chen beside her is very skillful in using it, and is praised by Professor Qin from time to time. This makes her feel very unconvinced, so she insists on it all the time.

If two probe holes are less than one meter apart, and two people probe downward at the same time, one is vertical hole, and the other is skew hole, then, at the depth of seven or eight meters, the skew hole will meet with the straight hole, and the two shovel heads will touch each other. Although this situation is rare, it is not without.

Especially for some new people, even under guidance, this situation will still happen.

As it is now, Chu Chen and Li Beibei shovel at the same time, but Chu Chen's strength, first to the bottom, and Li Beibei shovel followed, then two people feel a hand shake.Chuchen was ok, but he felt something hit his Luoyang shovel.

Li Beibei didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing at all. In order to catch up with Chu Chen's speed, she was quick and powerful. Because she was a novice, she had worn out blisters on her hands. This didn't react. The blisters on her palm were immediately worn out by the handle of the shovel. She cried out in pain.

Everyone thought that something had happened, so they ran to Li Beibei and asked.

After learning about the situation, Professor Qin asked a female staff member to help Li Beibei bandage it, and then pulled out her Luoyang shovel. When he saw that there was a depression at the shovel head, he immediately guessed what caused it, and said, "it should be that the probe hole was crooked and hit Xiao Chu."

Qi Baolin now also know Li Beibei's stubborn temper, helplessly said: "Li Beibei, since you can't do this, don't try to be brave, OK?"

Li Beibei retorted: "Captain, I didn't try my best. I'm just inexperienced and crooked. According to the normal situation, I'm deeper than Chu Chen!"

Qi Baolin frowned and said, "you also know that you are in an abnormal situation, and Mr. Chu is not as embarrassed as you are, right? Li Beibei, I tell you, in this job, we don't want to do things beyond our capacity. If you use this set of things in your work, I will ask the superior to transfer you back. "

After listening to Qi Baolin's words, Li Beibei opens her mouth and wants to complain. However, she thinks that she is Qi Baolin's soldier after all. It's her fault that she always suffers. So she can only take back what she said.

Under the oppression, Li Beibei cursed Chu Chen and vowed that when her plan was successfully implemented, she would trample Chu Chen to relieve her hatred.

However, thinking of the original plan, Li Beibei felt powerless again. During this period of time, she has been trying to make friends with Chu Chen, but Chu Chen just doesn't like her, just politely responds to her, which makes her feel that some dogs can't bite hedgehogs.

"Bah, bah, bah! I'm not a dog! But what happened to chuchen! Am I not attractive enough? Or has he always held a grudge because of what happened before? Isn't that right? Is there such a cautious man? "

After thinking for a long time, Li Beibei didn't come up with a reason. She said in secret, "no matter what, it's not a matter to go on like this. We have to think of a way to deal with the relationship well, but what should we do?"

Chuchen didn't know that Li Beibei was racking her brains to calculate him. At this time, he was looking at the soil from the exploratory cave excitedly.

"Professor Qin, come and have a look. It seems that the soil is different."

Professor Qin was stunned when he heard the words. Then he came to chuchen and saw the soil on Luoyang's shovel. He looked very happy and said excitedly: "this is Puteng soil. Ha ha, little Chu, you're lucky!"

"Flapping the earth?"

Chuchen some doubt of ask a way: "Professor Chu, what is the flapping earth?"

Professor Qin explained excitedly: "although the filling of the tomb passage has been rammed, its structure is not as tight and hard as the natural soil. The rest of the soil is left over and scattered around the tomb path, forming a flapping soil, which is the same as the flower soil in the tomb path, but not very thick. "

"In general, the scope and depth of the original excavation of the tomb passage and chamber can be determined by detecting the flapping soil and drilling identification."

After listening to Professor Qin's explanation, Chu Chen was also very excited and asked, "so, is the tomb passage near here?"

Professor Qin excitedly said: "yes, the graveway must be not far away. Xiao Liu, you should explore the place nearby carefully and try to find the position of the graveway as soon as possible."

At the command of Professor Qin, the staff immediately began to survey and explore. And the other side of director Wang, after a phone call, people also become very excited.

Director Wang made this call for 15 minutes. When he hung up his cell phone, he said to chuchen, "good news, good news! Captain Qi, the group of grave robbers you came to investigate this time already have news! "

"Ah

Director Wang's words, let everybody is a Leng first, wait for reaction to come over, Qi Baolin asks in a hurry: "director Wang, what is going on in the end, please tell us the specific situation!"

When you see this, you should also understand that the news that director Wang said about the tomb robbers came from Zhao Yiping.
