Chapter 17
City X, in Zhengjiazhuang, about three kilometers south of Qinshihuang's Mausoleum, is an abandoned dry well.

A hundred meters away from the dry well, a yellow cordon has been pulled up around the land of almost [-] square meters.

The security level is very high, and armed police with live ammunition can even be seen standing guard around the cordon. Those who don't know may think that some terrible murder happened here.

And above the dry well, there is a fairly high-standard plastic shed, which is almost completely enclosed to cover the dry well.

There are quite a few staff members in protective clothing trotting all the way in and out here.

These protective clothing are obviously not to protect themselves, but to prevent any bacteria from being brought into the greenhouse.

At 9:47 in the morning, the door of the sterilization room of the greenhouse was opened again, and several tired old people who had just taken off their protective clothing came out.

"Old Fan, what do you say?"

"I think it's close to ten." Fan Zeng's breathing seemed a little short.

It is true that he is old, staying up all night and other things, if this amazing discovery has not been mobilizing his nerves, otherwise he would not be able to survive at all.

This dry well should be a product of the Qing Dynasty. The well is not deep, only about four or five meters high. It is connected to an underground river below, but it has long since dried up and has been abandoned for many years.

Yesterday morning, when a group of children were playing around here, a child accidentally fell into it. When the adults finally rescued him, the child was holding a few copper coins in his hand, saying that he had picked them up in the well. .

City X is a famous historical city. Many farmers used to dig out good things from the ground, improving their lives and even getting rich overnight. Such examples are not uncommon.

The adults were naturally moved, thinking that there was a treasure in the well, so they pulled the rope down to investigate.

Unexpectedly, the treasure was not dug up. After going deep along the dry underground river and pushing away some tattered mounds of stone walls, they saw a large piece of dead bones instead. Reported to the local government.

Then, of course, the scene was immediately protected. First, police officers from the Public Security Bureau came around, but found that the bones were so old that they were not a murder scene at all, and they also saw a huge stone gate, which was obviously some kind of ancient relic. , and then the experts from the Research Institute of the First Emperor's Mausoleum were called in to investigate on the spot. It was already past three o'clock yesterday afternoon...

Fan Zeng and others sat on the small benches outside the shed to rest for a while. They were all old people. Although their energy was sufficient due to the major discovery, their physical strength was exhausted after all.

They drank the mineral water handed by the staff, but even during this short break, they couldn't stop the flush of excitement on their faces, and the heated discussions continued.

There are not too many dead bones inside, there are only dozens of them. After the bone age survey, it has been confirmed that they are from the Qin Dynasty.

Most of them may be due to the rash entry of people, pushing them to the mound of stone walls that originally isolated the site, causing air flow or vibration, and the already weathered dead bones have been broken into pieces or powder, leaving only The next few traces are very regrettable.

But this is not important compared to another discovery, what is important is that door!

Not to mention the well-preserved exquisite carvings on the door that exude a strong Qin style, but the nine characters engraved on the lower right side are the key to making Fan Zeng and other experts burst into tears.

'The South Gate of the Underground Palace, Produced by Li Si'

The underground palace, Zhennanmen, Li Si!
For anyone who studies the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, any one of these three words has infinite magic power, let alone appearing together.

what does that mean?There is no need to think about it at all, the legend is true, the south passage of the underground palace has been found!
And after their intensive one-night emergency investigation, they have initially obtained a lot of information of great significance.

First, Fan Zeng and the others did not detect any abnormal mercury elements in the nearby soil layer, but behind the huge stone gate, the mercury content was surprisingly high, which proved that the passage blocked by the boulder was a nearly completely enclosed space , and with a high probability of adopting an all-stone structure, its airtight performance and anti-penetration performance are surprisingly good.

Second, the advanced instrument that was planned to be returned to foreign research institutions was urgently transferred last night, and new major discoveries were also made.

They worked on the surface, centered on this dry well, and with the help of underground detection equipment, they quickly discovered a huge underground passage leading to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

"No wonder you, Fan, can't find this passage near the Mausoleum of the First Emperor," Wang Weiguo said excitedly, "Your instrument can only detect 20 meters underground at most, but judging from the length of this passage and the slope of the restoration, wait for it When Yanzhan entered the range of Mount Li, this passage had already penetrated at least 20 meters, or even 30 meters underground, that is, at the passage entrance of this gate, it is only a few meters deep from the surface, and your ghost instrument can only detect it!"

"Those bones that died outside the gate should be the craftsmen who were killed when the tomb was sealed. Judging from the position and posture of the corpse, it looks like they just rushed out of the gate to escape, but were shot and stabbed to death by the Qin army. of."

"But if this is the case, why didn't Qin Jun collect the corpses of these craftsmen, but let them fall outside the gate?"

"It still needs careful research to get the answer..."

"However, quite a few of the tools in the hands of these craftsmen are ironware! This is a major discovery. We always thought that bronze ware was commonly used in Qin Dynasty, but we didn't expect..."

"The use of ironware represents the symbolic meaning of civilization! It completely overturns many of the conclusions we have drawn from the Terracotta Warriors!"

"It's amazing, it's amazing! Not to mention the underground palace itself, just the discovery last night, let us know about Qin Shi's industry, geology, smelting level, construction level...all have to be overturned !"

"What a powerful ancient dynasty this is!"

Everyone was talking about it, and Fan Zeng was blushing with excitement.

Although this discovery overturned the paper he just published not long ago, it will inevitably be ridiculed by people in the circle, but this discovery is important. With such an important secret in the imperial mausoleum, he already felt that he had no regrets in life, how could that little face compare to it?
"If there really is a north-south passage, if there are iron artifacts, and it's really in Zhengjiazhuang..." Lao Fan said excitedly, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly froze.

He felt that all this seemed familiar before, but he has been in a state of over-excitement from yesterday to now, anxious to investigate all kinds of things, and didn't have time to think about it, but at this moment he suddenly thought of...

He stood up suddenly, his jaw almost fell to the ground.

Isn't this, isn't that Lin Shuhang's thesis?And all its conclusions are exactly the same as all the major discoveries made last night!
That kid really relied on imagination?Can this be imagined?
I, I... I am really his mother!
