Master Archaeologist

Chapter 1 It's time to live!

June and a half, 2018, the summer solstice.

Central Plains, Zhuma County, Mucun.

On the wasteland next to the field of Chen's family at the east end of the village, a cordon of about 8 meters by 8 meters was pulled out with a yellow cloth belt.

Within the cordon, among the detections planned by the archaeologists, many figures were busy bending over and bowing their heads.

It can be seen that this should be an archaeological excavation site.

Chen Han squatted in the Tanfang, which was only about 1.5 meters long and wide, holding a brush in his hand, and was carefully cleaning the soil in the Tanfang.

Between his legs, a clay pot half buried in the soil gradually revealed its complete appearance as he moved.

After a long time, Chen Han carefully held the newly unearthed pottery in his hand, poked his head out from the cave, and looked at the middle-aged man squatting on the ridge of the field, smoking a cigarette with a sad expression on his face.

"Teacher, I dug out a piece of pottery. It looks like it is from the Western Han Dynasty!"

Chen Han, who was holding the clay pot, even though his face was covered with a lot of dirt, his smile was still dazzling under the sun.

It's a pity that no matter how handsome a man is, after several years of archaeology, there is not much beauty left.

Touching the forehead with few hairs left, Kong Jianwen felt a little sorry for Chen Han.

Exactly.

Ten years between life and death, digging graves, exploring places, poor villages and wild mountains, nowhere to talk about is desolate, even if we meet each other, I don’t know, my face is covered with dust, and the earth is flying.

Don't marry an archaeologist, go to the construction site, keep an empty house, go there for half a year, there is only a thousand lines of tears, and when you come back, you have to sort out the materials and report, and you are busy every day.

He couldn't figure out why Chen Han, such a handsome boy, would choose archeology where the loess is in the sky, and he is accompanied by mud, coffins, and dead bones every day.

However, Chen Han's professional level is still very good.

Graduated from Peking University's Department of Archeology with a bachelor's degree, and it was the No.1 professional course, and was directly recommended to the Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences.

Now I am studying Ph.D. under him.

Kong Jianwen was very satisfied with this new disciple.

Of course, if Chen Han was not so handsome, he might be more satisfied.

Archaeologists, why do you have to be so handsome?

Kong Jianwen shook his head and reached out to check his watch.

It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was about to set.

Seeing this, he stood up from the field ridge, patted the dust on his trousers, and shouted loudly:
"Okay, everyone tidy up, and we can call it a day."

"This tomb is not very big. It should be the tomb of a small official from the Western Han Dynasty. One night is enough time for grave robbers to dig it up."

"We have been conducting rescue excavations for more than half a month."

"Let's not talk about the precious jade and bronze wares, even the identity items that prove who the owner of the tomb is is not found."

"Except for these few pottery, there is probably nothing left in the tomb."

"Let's backfill it starting tomorrow, it can be recorded and archived."

Earth-colored heads poked out from the probes of different sizes, and then there was a burst of cheers from the archaeological site.

Chen Han hurriedly put the pottery pot on hand into a large wooden box specially for storing unearthed cultural relics, climbed out of the Tan Fang, and trotted to Kong Jianwen.

"Teacher, don't you want to continue digging this tomb?"

"What are you still digging?" Kong Jianwen glanced at Chen Han, and said with some indignation in his tone: "The tomb robbers in the past were okay, they only stared at the jade, gold, and bronze thieves, at least they could leave something for the archaeologists." Some bamboo slips, fabrics, pottery and lacquerware."

"But in modern times, tomb robbers just pack up and take away everything in the tomb."

"All stolen tombs are as clean as if they were swept by a broom."

"This kind of tomb has been stolen, and we can only dig three feet in the tomb pit to find the corners and corners when we arrive at the scene."

"It's been half a month since I searched, and I've turned the soil three times back and forth. Except for a few pottery, I haven't even found an epitaph."

"Okay, we can call it a day and file it."

Kong Jianwen exhaled angrily, and threw the cigarette butt that was about to burn to the ground, as if the cigarette butt was a tomb robber, and stomped on it several times.

But at this moment, Chen Han had no time to pay attention to his teacher's actions.

In his mind, a mechanically synthesized voice sounded.

"Novice task: assist in a rescue archaeological excavation, complete!"

"Distribute novice rewards!"

"Archaeological exploration technology +1!"

Facing the voice that suddenly sounded in his mind, Chen Han's expression was very calm.

Yes, he has a system.

This system has appeared in his mind since he graduated from senior year and was recommended to the Academy of Social Sciences for a combined master's and doctoral degree.

The first task the system gave him was to participate in a rescue archaeological excavation.

It just so happened that as soon as he joined the Academy of Social Sciences, he participated in the rescue excavation of Tomb No. 1 in Mucun under the leadership of his teacher.

After half a month, this part of the work has been completed, and the system tasks have been completed along the way.

Watching the figure of the teacher drifting away while scolding the tomb robber, Chen Han walked into the temporary toilet at the excavation site with a normal expression.

Well, the taste is very positive!

A series of exploration-related technologies and knowledge points flooded into Chen Han's mind in due course.

He suddenly felt as if he had personally explored dozens of ancient tombs. He closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and there were a lot of "experiences", which were practical abilities that could not be mastered by reading books alone.

"The reward is not bad!"

"The "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Fengshui Secret Art" in the online novel is so successful, isn't it?"

Facing the smell of fermented human excrement in the toilet, Chen Han happily felt the rewards given by the system, and opened the system screen floating in mid-air.

Host: Chen Han.

skill:
Archaeological expertise: LV1
Archaeological Survey: LV1
Archaeological Exploration: LV2
Archaeological excavation: LV1
Archaeological Drawing: LV1
Restoration of cultural relics: LV0
Yes, the archaeological exploration technology has indeed been upgraded.

Unexpectedly, there is such a big qualitative change after just one level of promotion.

I feel that I have become a veteran with the experience of exploring more than ten tombs from an archaeologist who just joined the work.

Chen Han now feels that as long as he is given a set of exploration tools, he can find at least seven or eight ancient tombs if he wanders around in a large county in the Central Plains!
Nothing but swelling!

"Assemble! Assembly!"

But before Chen Han swelled for a few seconds, Kong Jianwen's slightly excited voice exploded outside the toilet, interrupting his swell.

Chen Han ran out quickly.

Just in time, he bumped into Kong Jianwen who was trotting back with his mobile phone.

"Come live!"

"Grassroots researchers in Qinghai discovered a place with signs of ruins."

"The signs of the ruins found in Qinghai this time have a high probability of being a large Neolithic settlement site!"

"Preliminary survey of the site, located on the second terrace on the north bank of the Yellow River valley."

"A preliminary estimate shows that the total area may be 40 square meters, and the key area is about 20 square meters."

"According to the carbon-fourteen detection of the early unearthed objects, this site is at least 4000 years ago, and may even be one of the important sources of Chinese civilization!"

"The ruins are huge! The local archaeological institute is simply too busy!"

"Our Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Social Sciences, will support most of the archaeologists!"

"Now, let's go immediately!"
