Chapter 161 Interrupted tomb passage, media gathered

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifan did not rush to find the person in charge of the construction site.

No matter how fast the news spreads, it will still take time to get here, so there is no rush.

He drove towards the hole dug by Lin Chen. While he was on the phone, Lin Chen had dug out the other side of the brick tunnel wall.

As a passage for transporting coffins, the distance between the two walls is still relatively large, and there is still a lot of room for the excavator to be driven in.

The middle of the wall is full of dirt.

It should have been backfilled after the coffin was delivered to the tomb.

Lin Chen operated the excavator to dig up the dirt between the two walls, preparing to drive the excavator into the tunnel.

Liu Yifan did not interrupt Lin Chen. He watched for a while and saw that everything was going smoothly, then turned and left to find the person in charge of the construction site.

……

At the same time.

The news that Lin Chen dug up the large tomb spread among the archaeological circles as expected.

Many people are talking about this matter.

Imperial Capital Archeology Chat Group.

"What a beast! Li Zicheng's treasure was just unearthed yesterday, and today it's a big job. It's really hard to live!"

"Calm down, calm down, your level is too low. It's not like I've been lying down for a long time. Aren't you looking for excitement when you compete with cheating players like this?"

"Lie flat and add one."

"Lie flat and add one."

"Lie flat and add one." 99

The chat group was frantically adding one, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of messages appeared.

As professionals, they were somewhat unconvinced at first about Lin Chen's ability to excavate cultural relics.

It's just luck, nothing compared to them.

Who has been in the industry for a long time and hasn’t handled a few treasures?

Later, as Lin Chen became more and more outrageous, they all fell apart. At first, they were just small things, but later, both the scale and the level of cultural relics reached a level that they could not even imagine.

It seems that as long as it is underground, there is nothing that cannot be dug out.

Not to mention those scattered cultural relics.

The underground command post, a group of ruins from more than 4,000 years ago, Li Zicheng’s treasure, and the ancient tomb excavated today.

Any one of them is a great discovery that can shock the entire archaeological world.

Don’t lie flat, let’s compete with each other!

The most frightening thing is that Lin Chen's archaeological ability is still inferior to professionals like them, and he is inferior in all aspects.

He knows everything, and his repair skills are top-notch.

Compared with Lin Chen, professionals like them seemed like laymen who knew nothing.

Walking bug.

I don’t even have the desire to compare.

After browsing for a while, the chat group topic was collected again.

"Which dynasty do you think this is the tomb of?"

"It's hard to say, but Yanjing was also the ancient capital of six dynasties, and there were quite a few large tombs in each dynasty."

There are not many large tombs with brick tunnels, so it is easier to guess if it is elsewhere.

Make a table of those who meet the requirements and list those people in total.

The problem is that there are too many dynasties that have made Yanjing their capital. The most important thing for a capital city is naturally someone with high authority.

In addition, Yanjing has a special geographical environment and frequent wars.

This directly led to the spectacle of cities upon cities.

Even the cities are stacked on top of each other, let alone ancient tombs.

Even large tombs with clearly recorded locations cannot be found today, not to mention there are many that cannot be found at all.

Such a building suddenly appeared, I really can’t tell which big shot it belongs to.

"Qin Xi was born in the early Southern Song Dynasty, and the following people should be from before the Southern Song Dynasty."

"I think it's just the opposite. With such a big tomb down there, it's impossible that the person who built Qin Xi's tomb didn't notice it at all. It should have been built later."

"I am reminded of Dingling. This brick tunnel looks very similar to Dingling. It must be from the Ming Dynasty!"

Dingling is relatively taboo in the archaeological community.

As soon as this sentence came out, the chat group instantly became much quieter.

Dingling?

That is the only excavated tomb of Emperor Ming, and it has now become a tourist attraction.

There are quite a few people in the group who have been there.

When mentioned in this way, many people felt that it was really similar, and time was instantly reduced to the scope of the Ming Dynasty.

Yanjing was the capital of the early Ming Dynasty.

However, the capital was later moved.

Strictly speaking, there are not too many possible targets.

It's just that they still haven't discussed it after chatting for a long time. It seems that those who have documented records are not there. As for those who don't have documented records, that's too inaccurate. There is no value in discussing it. After all, it is unfounded speculation.

They are not the only ones who are studying the origin of the tomb excavated by Lin Chen. Many people from archaeological institutions in other regions are also talking about this matter.

Apart from the imperial tombs, which are prohibited from active excavation, the tombs of princes are already the highest-standard tombs.

It is impossible for anyone in the field of archeology to be completely uncurious.

……

An hour and a half later.

After a long journey, Zhao Guanghai, director of the Yanjing Cultural Relics Bureau, finally arrived here with his people.

At this moment, many people have gathered around the construction site.

People who eat melons, people from major museums, bloggers who want to gain traffic, reporters...

If the Urban Development Bureau had not made arrangements in advance, the original manpower at the construction site would not be able to handle these people.

After Zhao Guanghai arrived, he immediately spotted him with sharp eyes and surrounded him.

"We are reporters from Yanjing Daily. Is the tomb discovered this time really the tomb of Qin Hui?"

"We are from Bloomberg News. Can you tell us about the situation inside?"

"Hello, I'm from Xinglang News. I hope to make an in-depth report on this excavation work."

……

As official personnel, ordinary self-media and people who eat melon do not have the courage to stop it.

Those who pushed to the front were basically people from major news media and mainstream platforms, while people from major museums were on the outside and did not compete with these people.

After all, they are members of official organizations, and their words and deeds will affect the official image in the minds of the people.

If you are still crowded together with these people, and someone backhandedly gives them a thumbs up, the impact will be terrible.

Looking at the reporters surrounding him, Zhao Guanghai felt dizzy because the reaction of these people was too fast.

It doesn’t matter if the people at the museum respond quickly.

He, the dignified director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, can't even handle the people under his command, and he's just acting like a fool.

But the media are really in trouble.

This group of people controls public opinion on the Internet. Although you can't do anything to them, it will be troublesome if you offend them.

"The current situation has not yet been clearly investigated. Once the situation is determined, I will hold a press conference to announce all the investigation results."

"Please wait patiently for a while."

Zhao Guanghai smiled.

His answer was tantamount to no answer, which obviously could not satisfy the media present.

However, no matter how the reporters asked, he avoided answering and did not reveal any information.

On the one hand, you cannot give random answers. If your credibility is reduced, it will be extremely difficult to restore it to the original situation. It is safest to be cautious in your words and actions.

On the other hand, he doesn't know much more than the people here.

With Lin Chen's live broadcast, a lot of information has already spread.

In terms of information, there is not a big gap between him and others.

He knows that others also know.

He doesn’t know what others don’t know.

After dealing with the reporters, he walked toward the interior of the construction site surrounded by other people from the Cultural Relics Bureau.

I ignored the looks of museum curators throughout the whole process.

Logically speaking, this group of people has rich experience in the field of archeology, and it would be helpful to bring a few in.
