"I really can't imagine it."
Elder Qian came back to his senses and quietly walked forward. He lay on his stomach on the side of the river made of mercury and looked at the moat in front of him. He looked at the majestic city and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.
"We are already behind. We have already fallen behind our ancestors for more than two thousand years."
At the side, a historian walked over with a look of regret on his face.
"Alright, stop coming this way."
After a long while, Elder Qian finally stood up and cautiously walked along the path beside the river. He said, "This tomb should be left here for now."
"We … have to go check out the next tomb!"
Elder Qian did not forget what the others had come here for.
The excavation had only been carried out by now, and it was not yet the stage of excavation. The group of people who came in first was to investigate the secret of this tomb, and to collect samples of the surrounding air as well as to study some of the cultural relics before officially digging.
Otherwise, if he were to make a move and collapse the entire underground palace, it would be a huge sin.
After seeing the wonders of the underground palace, the group of professors became even more cautious.
At the same time, Li Jiangnan, who was watching the broadcast, also had a smile on his face.
"Where are we!"
Everything in the underground palace was personally directed by Li Jiangnan. Thus, he was very clear about what was going to happen in the future.
This is just an appetizer, the main course is still at the back
As Li Jiangnan thought about this, he once again returned his gaze back to the screen in front of him.
"Professor, the results of the air test are out."
At this moment, a middle-aged man beside Elder Qian spoke to him with an instrument in his hand.
"Save the results."
Elder Qian glanced at the camera before turning to the middle-aged man and saying.
"What about the samples?"
"Don't touch the artifacts here."
Elder Qian shook his head, "We know nothing about this underground palace. Before we find the relevant clues, do not touch anything here."
"Alright."
The group of researchers packed up their belongings and started searching for the entrance to the next tomb.
Not long after, they found another stone door. This stone door just so happened to be at the other end of the tomb chamber.
Walking on the path made of white jade and stone, the group of people looked around warily. There was a huge alloy shield in front of them.
Under the pulling force of the mechanical arm, the stone door slowly opened.
Soon after, a dark passage was revealed.
The stairs that could be vaguely seen extended downwards, spiraling all the way into the deep darkness …
"Let's go."
Elder Qian's brows furrowed. He gave the order and the mechanical arm continued to lead the way. The group of people carefully followed the arm and walked down.
Every step he took was done with extreme caution.
The staff holding the shield was sweating profusely. As they moved forward, the surrounding light became less and less and eventually became pitch black.
Only the archaeological light source in the crowd was emitting a faint green light.
"It looks so terrifying!"
The accompanying reporters were also trembling in fear. The audience watching the live broadcast was also infected by the bottomless darkness. One or two of them even felt somewhat afraid.
"Is this a horror movie?"
"I'm a bit too timid to look, but I really want to. What should I do!?"
"Me too!"
"Bullet screen protecting the body, everyone don't panic!"
On the live broadcast website, the screen was densely packed with bullets, completely blocking the screen. At the same time, it also gave some people who were afraid a little bit of comfort.
If he couldn't see the scene, perhaps he wouldn't be scared!
They thought so.
While the group of experts headed to the next tomb, on the other side, in a temporarily established combat conference room.
A few middle-aged men with golden stars hanging from their shoulders looked at the scene in front of them and frowned deeply.
"Are the secrets below suitable for disclosure?"
Suddenly, someone asked.
"There's nothing suitable for it. This is the decision of the higher ups."
The middle-aged man at his side shook his head and replied, "However, the security around the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, we need to do this. We need to inform them that the scenic spots near the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang will be temporarily closed and will not be opened. At the same time, the circular area of ten kilometers around the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang will be closed.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present immediately nodded their heads, and soon after, a series of orders were issued.
Immediately after, a group of reporters, who were eagerly waiting at the entrance, were invited out by the soldiers wearing camouflage clothing.
After that, more and more armored vehicles were dispatched to defend the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, layer by layer.
Even some of the villagers had been temporarily moved to other places.
There was martial law everywhere.
After half an hour of trekking, Elder Qian and the rest finally reached the bottom level of this staircase.
Then, when the mechanical arm moved forward once again, there was a sudden burst of tiny noises coming from the surroundings.
"There's a situation, be on your guard!"
The staff's expression suddenly changed. Following that, countless shields came from all directions and protected the professors at the center. Even the top of their heads had a cushion for safety.
This scene caused the hearts of the spectating spectators to clench, while Li Jiangnan shook his head.
There might be some fright beneath this underground palace, but the danger definitely wasn't there.
If he killed this group of people and forced the excavation to a halt, then what was the point of his plan of reviving First Emperor Qin?
Indeed.
The attack he had imagined didn't come.
On the contrary, in front of the crowd, a tunnel that had originally been pitch-black suddenly lit up. Warm, white light completely illuminated the tunnel …
"This is …"
Elder Qian frowned. "Luminous pearls?"
"Oh god, how many treasures has the First Emperor collected? He's so extravagant that he uses the Night Pearls as a light source."
The moment Elder Qian finished speaking, the reporter beside him immediately exclaimed in disbelief.
There was no end in sight to this tunnel. In the dense light, there were more than seventy or eighty people that could be seen.
And further away, where was it that he couldn't see?
"No, that's not right. This isn't a Night Pearl."
However, Elder Qian ignored the crowd and walked forward to take a close look at the light. He shook his head and came to a conclusion.
"If it's not a Night Pearl, then what is it?"
"Is there anything else that can give off light?"
"Could it be fluorite?"
"Fluorite isn't this kind of light … It doesn't seem like there's anything natural about this white light. Why don't we put it on?"
"Upstairs, you can't be thinking that this is a lantern, right?"
The moment Elder Qian's conclusion was out, the barrage of bullets on the website once again flooded out.
Everyone was guessing, what exactly was this thing that was emitting light?
"This is not any of the materials we know."
Another expert walked up and looked at the little beads behind the balls of light. Soon after, a serious expression appeared on his face …
