Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

Hearing that Li Ding'an was going to have a meeting, Lu Benzhi and Ma Xianming also came to listen.

People sat in a circle in the conference room, the discussion was in full swing, and each one looked more excited than the other: The approximate scope of the third ruins has been found...

Li Ding'an stepped into the conference room and his voice stopped suddenly. He nodded slightly, Shu Jinghao turned on the big screen and brought up the map.

At first, the scale was very small, showing only the western Liaoning, northern Yanshan, and southern Daxinganling areas. Li Ding'an slid the mouse, and a circle appeared in the middle of the Kormi Sand Land, so everyone knew that this circle represented the Qinglong Mountain ruins.

If you zoom in and look west, you can see the capital, the entire Yanshan Mountains, the Luan River, the Xiliao River, the Xilin Plateau, and the Hunshandake Desert.

Then, Li Ding'an drew a circle in the northern part of the Hunshan Desert.

Naturally, this mark refers to this place: Hunshan Ancient City.

The scale was enlarged again, and the coordinates went west again, crossing the Yellow River, Beitao Plain, and over the Yin Mountains. Li Ding'an once again drew a circle.

This time the circle is bigger, bigger than the previous two combined.

"Om..."

There was an uproar in the conference room again: Don't these three circles, from small to large, represent the scale of the site, the number of cultural relics, the archaeological value, and even the influence?

The key is that Li Ding'an directly drew a circle, indicating that this was not an approximate range, but that the exact coordinates had been found.

Although the circle is still not small, if you compare the coordinates, it is estimated that the radius is more than 100 kilometers.

But compared with the previous two times, especially the second one that almost ran across eastern Inner Mongolia and the entire Xilin Grassland, with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers from east to west, this range is already accurate enough not to be too accurate.

At least it shows that there is no need to imagine as before: Li Ding'an might turn over the Yinshan Mountains, which are more than 1,200 kilometers long from east to west and more than 100 kilometers wide from north to south...

In an instant, many people breathed a sigh of relief and became more energetic.

But suddenly, Director Duan said "Hey": "Is this the wrong place?"

Deputy Director Yan turned his head and looked a little strange: "What's wrong?"

How can you, a police officer, know better than Li Ding'an, a top expert who specializes in archaeological research and has to call him "teacher" when he sees him?

Director He and Director Lu didn’t even say a word?

"Yan Ting, I didn't say that the coordinates of the ruins are wrong, but this geographical location: the northwest end of Yinshan Mountain, the northeast of Alxa Plateau, the north of Badain Jaran Desert, the south of Mongolia's South Gobi Province..."

Director Duan pointed to the map, "The key is this circle, most of it is in South Gobi Province!"

What?
I was so excited just now that I didn't care where the thin national border was?

Everyone opened their eyes wide again and searched carefully, as if they were frozen: No... this... why is this like this?

It's such a big circle, but it's only a little bit, south of the border?
Suddenly, more than a dozen people were dumbfounded. Look at me and I look at you.

It was like I had just eaten a piece of meat and was suddenly stuffed with shit. I felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

It's no exaggeration. More than one person had a similar thought to He Anbang: He really wanted to jump on the screen and erase the mess to the north of the line...

After being stunned for a long time, Deputy Director Yan moved his lips and endured it for a long time: Teacher Li, is the circle you drew accurate?

Can't we move further south, just a little bit?

Yes, Mr. Li, you said that the third site is likely to be outside the country, and more than once, so most people are mentally prepared.

But the problem is, now that I look at it, there is a 80 to 90 percent chance that I have actually gone abroad. Why do I feel so uncomfortable?
Subconsciously, everyone turned their heads and looked directly at Li Ding'an.

He Anbang immediately became happy: Do you think he is of any use?

Can he move the line further north or something?
Besides, isn’t there another point in that circle to the south?

Although it's not much, maybe less than one-tenth of the area of ​​the entire circle, weren't you thinking "just in case" before? It means that Li Ding'an has reduced the probability to one-tenth, what else are you dissatisfied with?
Go have some fun...

While he was laughing, Li Ding'an clapped his hands again: "This is the situation: there is a high probability that the ruins are outside the country. Of course, I only made a rough calculation and judgment, and it is not impossible that the exact location of the ruins is on the northern edge of the Alxa Plateau. …”

Yes, Teacher Li said it was possible? Suddenly, everyone cheered up.

"I invite you all to come over and ask just one thing: to look for it, or not to look for it?"

We've come this far, how could we not look for it?

Not to mention Mongolia, even if you go further north, you have to find it in Russia...

Deputy Director Yan nodded vigorously: "Look for it!"

Others nodded one after another: "Look for it!"

Lu Benzhi and Ma Xianming also agreed: "Yes, we must find it!"

"Okay! Then it's time to coordinate and prepare... Yan Ding, please report to the district leader, and then contact Alxa to request local technical and logistical support... Director Duan, I need you to contact the border management department... Bureau Zuo and Director Xiao are responsible for access and logistics...and..."

Li Ding'an breathed out, "He Guan, report to the Cultural Relics Bureau and the Ministry!"

"Okay!" He Anbang nodded and sighed sadly.

Li Ding'an had already reported the investigation plan related to the third site a year ago. If the investigation was conducted domestically, there was of course no need to report it again.

But now that the location of the ruins is likely to be outside the country, plans must be made again. If necessary, the site must go abroad, and of course it must be reported again.

Fortunately, China and Mongolia have been cooperating since 2005 on archaeological investigation, exploration, and excavation research projects on the cultural relics of ancient nomads in Mongolia, and this has continued until now.

Including last year, a Sino-Mongolian joint archaeological team was formed by the Henan Institute of Cultural Relics and Archeology and the Department of Archeology of the National University of Mongolia to restart the Gaole Maodu No. 2 Cemetery project in Hangai Province.

So it is not difficult to go there to investigate. What is difficult is how to establish a project after finding it.

More than 90% of the time, it probably has nothing to do with the National Museum and the Forbidden City.

The possibility of the cultural relics department of the autonomous region is slightly higher, after all, we have cooperated with them before, but it is very likely that the superiors will still let the Henan Archaeological Research Institute be responsible.

Based on past cooperation practices, the two countries may each share half of the research results, but for all cultural relics, domestic units can only borrow them for exhibition for a period of time at most.

Naturally, He Anbang was not in a good mood.

But loss is loss, work must be done.

He immediately left the conference room and went to report to the curator.

Deputy Director Yan and Director Duan also went to make calls. Zuo Peng and Xiao Jing contacted vehicles and supplies, and the conference room suddenly became empty.

Li Ding'an packed up the information and asked Yu Huiyin: "The preparation time this time will be longer, ranging from four to five days to a week. Besides, my uncle and aunt should be back soon. Do you want to go back to the capital?"

"What took so long?"

Li Ding'an pointed at the map: "Tengger Desert, Badain Jaran Desert, Alxa Plateau, Central Gobi... This area is no man's land for thousands of kilometers..."

Thousands of kilometers of no-man’s land…

Yu Huiyin's heart shrank: "Li Ding'an, are you taking another risk?"

"You can really respect me if I go against nature? Don't worry..."

Li Ding'an patted his chest, "I want to live a few more years!"

Are you taking too many risks?
"What about you, are you going back to the capital?"

"Where do I have time? Before I go to Alxa, I have to make arrangements here. I have to go to Qinglong Mountain. I definitely can't go back!"

It’s okay if you can’t go back!

Yu Huiyin breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I won't go back..." (End of Chapter)
