Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Chapter 346: Good Luck

The sky is clear and clear, cloudless.

The temperature is gradually rising, the snow on the road has melted, and the trenches are filled with black muddy water.

The fields are white and yellow, mottled, like a leprous white dog.

The warm air was turned on too much and he was sweating all over. Li Ding'an turned the knob to lower the temperature.

In the back seat, Ma Xianming and He Anbang were leaning against the car window with their eyes half-squinted, as if frost had hit them.

Of course I drank too much again...

With the car open, He Anbang straightened up suddenly, rolled down the window and retched twice.

Li Dingan stopped the car immediately.

Director Zuo just drove the brand new Cheetah from the municipal party committee yesterday, so I'm really embarrassed that it got dirty.

Li Ding'an stood behind the two of them, slapping his hands like a drum: "How can you get on a plane like this?"

Including technical personnel, as long as the project team is lacking, they can be transferred from the Cultural Relics Bureau at will.

Anyway, Lao Ma is in charge of external affairs. If Lao Ma can't handle it, then replace him. If he still can't handle it, then the curator will step in...

Li Ding'an was not polite and asked Zuo Peng for a dozen at the wine table. The project team has expanded from a dozen people to more than thirty people...

I made a special trip to visit, and after a while of chatting, I read the conclusions about the compass given by Beijing University, the Forbidden City, and the Academy of Chinese Studies.

After drinking for a long time, Secretary Mi patted his chest with the strength of the wine: As long as the project team is inspecting the Mongolian porcelain kiln site, the project team’s food, accommodation, transportation, and contacts with the municipal, banner, and town governments and relevant local units will be the responsibility of the municipal party committee.

After everyone entered the door, He Anbang turned around again: "Don't be too anxious about the kiln site. If you can't find it this year, you can come back next year!"

When the cold wind blew, I felt much more comfortable, and the two of them got into the car one after another.

But the local government’s desire to find the site and even establish a project based on this cultural relic is a bit over the top.

Li Ding'an nodded: "I am measured!"

"What did you guess?"

He Anbang shook his head: "It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, so there is no need to embarrass yourself."

"What is the use?"

"Don't worry, I can at least find New Year's Day...but even if I can't find it, I should be able to determine the general range!"

In short, it adds little to the local area.

Don't tell me, it makes sense?

He didn't vomit anything, but it seemed to have a chain reaction. Ma Xianming also jumped out of the car, and then the two of them squatted on the curb, head to head: "Oh oh oh oh"...

Really enthusiastic.

"That was before!"

Moreover, it is just a kiln site, not much bigger, and the addition to local history and culture is not very high.

He Anbang said nothing.

The airport is not far away, more than ten kilometers from the city center. It didn't take long for the car to arrive at the terminal.

He Anbang jumped out of the car and squatted on the roadside, stretching his neck like a goose.

He shook his head, took out two pieces of paper from the car and handed them over: "Secretary Mi is a little too enthusiastic."

"We don't have enough time, and we made an appointment with Director Zuo to meet with the seller of the compass in the afternoon to understand the situation."

It seems that they attach great importance to the Mongolian porcelain project, but most people know that the project is initiated by the National Museum, and the research results and funds allocated have nothing to do with the local area. The key to why the level is so high lies in new technologies and new processes.

Forget it, let him...

If the provenance, age, use, and even price of a cultural relic can be given, it can be considered to have been clearly identified.

Therefore, He Anbang is very clear: without the phone call made by Secretary Yu yesterday, the local leaders could only say a few words of thanks, and there would be no subsequent events at all.

Get off the bus, pick up your luggage and enter the terminal.

Changing into a more comfortable position, He Anbang looked at Li Ding'an in the rearview mirror: "How about this afternoon, going to Naiman?"

What the hell?

He Anbang and Ma Xianming were both stunned: In just a few days, your scope has been reduced to more than ten times?

For archeology, if the range is determined to be within ten kilometers, it is no different from finding it...

It's like giving the cook a handful of salt: Come, make me a table...

Otherwise, why didn't he feed Li Ding'an?

But there is no need to tell Li Ding'an so much: talents must be protected, and more importantly, they must be kept pure, and try not to be affected by messy things... These are the curator's exact words.

Don't be sorry, even if you owe me a favor, will it be your father-in-law who pays it back?

Instead of expressing disappointment, his attitude only increased: he invited the project team to have a meal, and then dragged He Anbang and Ma Xianming to drink a ton of them.

Li Ding'an shook his head, "At most ten kilometers now!"

Before Secretary Mi left, he told his secretary to give Li Ding'an and Ma Xianming a car each.

"How big?" He Anbang recalled, "I remember you said on the plane: the range will probably not exceed one hundred kilometers!"

"It's useless, but you still have to ask, otherwise you'll always feel bad!"

"The plane pulled me, but I didn't pull the plane?"

"I'm guessing...you think I'm staying in a hotel these days and sleeping every day?"

He Anbang was stunned for a moment, and then said "heh": Just based on the information he, Shu Jinghao and Fang Zhijie, checked from the local electronic archives in the past few days?

Stop dreaming...

It's not an appraisal. Li Ding'an can rely on his eyesight, experience, and knowledge reserves to make inferences based on the characteristics of the shape, material, coating, soil secretion, etc. It doesn't matter if the judgment is not accurate.

This is a search for ruins, where you have to peel off the cocoons through limited clues, and practice gold. And if it is, it is, if it is not, it is not, and there can be no ambiguity.

For example: NMQ is nearly 10,000 square kilometers. What is the concept of finding kiln sites that may be less than one square kilometer?

Find one in ten thousand.

The problem is that the decision of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was too sudden, and Li Ding'an's decision to conduct an on-site inspection was too sudden to complete the Mongolian porcelain project before the Science and Technology Innovation Bureau established the project.

To put it bluntly, before coming to Tongliao, the project team had not done any field environmental and geographical surveys at all, and even the relevant geographical information was checked in the past few days.

Another point is that this is Li Ding'an's first time out in the field, and this industry is not something you can master just by learning as much theory as you have and as much knowledge as you have.

It all depends on experience. He has no experience at all, but Li Ding'an wants to rely on this little information to find the exact location of the ruins in just two to three months?

It would be so easy. The Mongolian porcelain kiln site had been discovered long ago. Li Ding'an would not have waited until Li Ding'an found the actual object from XJ and spent more than half a year researching 99% of it before deducing the kiln site from the research data.

So it can't be so fast.

Based on He Anbang's experience, it can be inferred that it takes about half a year to collect data, and another half year to collect relics, and then confirm the exact location through the data and relic information.

Therefore, just the pre-excavation work will take more than a year.

Of course, He Anbang also believed that as long as there was enough time, Li Ding'an would be able to find it, but he was afraid that he would be too anxious.

After being together for so long, he knows very well what kind of character Li Ding'an is: no matter what he does, he will not be able to get out if he dives in, and he will not give up until he gets results.

But this is field work, and the weather is getting colder and colder. The key is that the climate here is not generally bad, and there are always heavy snowfalls.

Don't say anything, even if Li Ding'an bumps into something, He Anbang won't be able to explain it.

It didn't even take Baoli, the Science and Technology Bureau, or even Secretary Yu asking him, the curator could make him walk around without food...

The more He Anbang thought about it, the more worried he became, and he pointed at Ma Xianming: "Watch carefully, don't let him get into trouble... If you can't watch it, call me immediately, and I will crawl over here..."

"Don't worry, Guanyou!"

"Wait a minute...what are you talking about?"

He Anbang didn't bother to pay attention to him, just picked up his bag and left.

Li Dingan looked confused...

……

The plan did not change, and the departure time for Naiman was two days later than what Li Dingan had booked.

Director Xiao seemed to know what Director He meant when he was drunk: Teacher Li is good at everything, but he is too anxious and wants to finish a year's work in one day.

Isn't this a compliment?

Sometimes it's not necessarily true.

Just like now: on the way and in the car, Li Ding'an held a mobilization meeting and arranged the afternoon's work: at two o'clock in the afternoon, he officially started investigating the field environment of Qinglong Mountain.

The problem is that the distance from the city to Naiman is almost two hundred kilometers, and most of it has to be taken on national highways, which takes at least three and a half hours. It is 80 kilometers from Qi to Qinglongshan Town. This section is a county road and takes at least an hour and a half.

We set off at eight o'clock, and it was already around one o'clock when we arrived at the town hotel. There was only an hour in between: we had to book a room, register, put our luggage, and eat. You might even have to use the bathroom...

It’s no exaggeration, even the capitalists would cry after hearing this!

What's strange is that no one from researchers to technicians, from prospectors to surveyors to data workers showed any dissatisfaction?

"Starting from this afternoon, the main work of each group is drilling and soil acquisition and surveying and mapping. The first group is in charge of Captain Geng. From the Dugui Kacha area, along the Wabei River from north to south, they will explore the whole area. Eighteen kilometers long...

The second group, headed by Captain Xing, started from Sandaowazi to Weizigou, along the Larmi River from north to west and then south, passing through Zhuantouwa, with a total length of 24 kilometers...

The third group is in charge of Captain Du, from Ganjingzi to Haisitai, then to Gounao, and then to Liugou Village... This section is relatively long, nearly fifty kilometers in total, and there are many rivers: Qizi River, Guanying River, Liushu He... Relevant information will be sent to the heads of each team later. Let me emphasize a few more points...

I don’t need to talk about surveying and mapping. Everyone knows that the key is drilling: the soil should be taken deep, preferably more than one meter, and at worst, the floating layer, green layer, mature layer, and intermittent layer must be identified... and the most important point , Safety: The three teams have to go from the foothills of Shanxi to the foothills of Shandong via the river, and the climate is not stable, so they must pay attention to safety...

Team Leader Wei, Team Leader Yao, and Team Leader Che provided technical support to each group... Teacher Cheng was responsible for the testing, and the soil samples were completed on the same day..."

Cheng Liquan's scalp was numb: the soil samples taken by three teams every day were measured in kilograms. The problem is, after everyone has been assigned, how can you think that you are just a mere team leader?

Just a small test tube, a small test tube, even if I have eighteen hands, I can't complete the test.

Seeing Li Ding'an stop talking, Cheng Yongquan hurriedly raised his hand: "Teacher Li, am I the only one in the laboratory team?"

"Who said that?"

Li Ding'an pointed around and said, "Just leave the information to Fang Zhijie alone. Xiaotian and Xiao Jiang can help you (female data clerks). Shu Jing is not busy... Besides, each team does not need technical support all the time. Team Leader Wei, Team Leader Yao, and Team Leader Chariot don’t all have to be with the team every day, plus me and Ma Suo, eight people are not enough for you?”

Cheng Yongquan smiled quickly: "It's enough... it's enough..."

With Li Ding'an here, everyone else is a burden. It doesn't even matter whether he, the team leader, is here...

Several local assistants finally understood: Teacher Li is trying to treat men like donkeys and women like men?

I heard that the time was too tight and we were in a very tight schedule, but that was understandable.

The rest is a bit unclear?

Those who can be sent to assist are all experts and have rich experience in field archaeology. But as far as the team members know, both in theory and in practice, it is different from Li Ding'an's procedure.

First collect information, including relic information and site information, such as porcelain shards, kiln bricks, kiln tiles, cinders, burned earth residues, etc.

Then the approximate scope is delineated based on the physical data, and then a geographical survey is conducted, and then the scope is further narrowed down based on the geographical information screening.

Finally, on-site exploration is carried out, which means collecting soil for observation and testing.

Li Ding'an turned the other way around?

No, it's more like he has omitted all the previous steps. It feels like he is very sure that the range of the kiln site is within the route he listed...

"What's going on with those rivers? Wabei River, Qizi River, Liushu River, Guanying River... I don't think I've heard of them?"

"They are all tributaries of the Mangniu River, distributed at the two foothills of Qinglong Mountain: Guanying River is the Guanyin River. Its name was changed after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The rest are all ancient rivers and have long since disappeared..."

"You can't bake porcelain without water... In addition to looking for soil, of course you also have to look for water. Find the kiln site along the mountains and the water. There's nothing wrong with it!"

"I understand: Teacher Li is using the form of exploration (archaeological method), using the direction of the mountain as the longitude and the direction of the river as the latitude, to turn the east and west foothills of Qinglong Mountain into countless grids?"

"This is not an infinite number of grids, but a line: the mountains south and north together are less than a hundred kilometers, and how wide is the river? After reaching the first few dozen meters, the width of the river bank will double again...the approximate area is less than ten kilometers! "

"Naiman has nearly 10,000 square kilometers, which is less than one-thousandth... How can he be sure?"

"It's not just a one-in-a-thousand problem. The key point is that the soil quality varies greatly across the flag. How can we be sure that the kiln site is in Qinglong Mountain?"

"It's really hard to understand..."

A few people whispered, and Li Dingan said a few words of thanks for hard work, etc., and the car arrived at the resting point.

Those who go to the toilet use the toilet, and those who smoke smoke.

After getting out of the car, Ma Xianming handed Li Ding'an a cigarette: "Are you too hasty?"

"Do you want to ask me, if I jump to conclusions so blindly, what should I do if I make a mistake?"

Ma Xianming did not deny it.

Li Dingan lit it on fire and blew out a puff of smoke: How could it be wrong?

The address information given by the system is Qinglong Mountain!

He has also made relevant speculations, but they are just speculations. He must find the exact location and conduct in-depth analysis to verify whether his speculations are correct.

Now I have to ask him, it’s really hard to explain...

Li Ding'an thought for a while: "If the detection is wrong, then start again!"

Lao Ma moved his lips, not knowing what to say: Are you just trying to get lucky?
