Chapter 511 Burning soil and protecting grass, map to set the ruins

"Listen!"

When they heard about the Shimao ruins, the curiosity of the treasure friends immediately changed.

After returning to China, Mr. Mo personally picked up these things. Even if they were placed in the museum for repair, they could wait for the news introduction. There was no hurry.

The ruins of Shimao are something that is not recorded in the book. If you miss Master Ning’s on-site explanation, you won’t know when the next time will be.

You should know that a Sanxingdui has been excavated for more than ten years before two documentaries were released.

This Shimao site is obviously more precious. Maybe it will be published in more than ten years, or even decades.

Just listen now.

"Master Ning, we have arrived."

The friends made the decision and Ning Fan had already answered the call between Tang Qisheng and Yuan Lu.

"But there is nothing in this place."

Tang Qisheng's camera switched over, and the friends took the opportunity to see it and understood what he meant.

There is no lush feeling of the Qinshan area of ​​Xijing at all. Instead, the loess spread for hundreds of kilometers. Looking around, it looks like a piece of earthy yellow, with only some grass and low bushes on the ground.

"Master Ning, is this?"

“Shimao Ruins.”

Ning Fan looked calm.

The world changes and the times change, which is a common thing in history and archaeology.

When the Huangdi tribe lived, the place was rich in water and soil, but thousands of years have passed. It is a blessing to be able to keep it. Don’t think that it can be preserved as it is, which is not realistic.

"Master Ning, where do you start digging this place?"

Tang Qisheng asked.

As usual, he could explore it, but this time they came too urgently. The two of them only brought their secretary and information, and there were no tools on their hands and they could not detect it.

If the large troops from Xijing come over, they will not have the patience.

"I've been waiting for so many years, but still care about this time?"

Ning Fan shook his head, but still told them the scope of the site.

"God! How can I see this?"

The friends were stunned.

They also know the ability of Ning Fan to look at Feng Shui and the earth's veins before, and it is nothing more than observing the stars and the scenery of the mountains.

There are no stars in broad daylight, and the mountains are not good-looking through the screen, and there is no three-dimensional modeling and map comparison.

They were really curious about how Master Ning saw the scope of this site.

“Just compare the surrounding vegetation.”

Ning Fan said relaxedly.

"The most important thing in building palaces or living areas in ancient times was to remove weeds. Of course, there was no such thing as herbicide in ancient times, and it was unrealistic to pull it out by hand, so they would use their own way to weed."

"Burn the soil and sieve it, mix a certain proportion of lime powder and lay it back on the ground, and then cover the mud brick embryo to prevent the growth of weeds."

My friends don’t understand these professional knowledge, but they have grasped the keywords.

Lime, bricks.

"There were these two things in ancient times? Aren't these the current building materials?"

Ning Fan was silent for several seconds.

"Are you talking about cement?"

My friend was also confused.

After a long time I came to my senses.

“Lime and cement don’t seem to be the same thing?”

"Of course not!"

Ning Fan also knows what his friends are thinking.

"Lime is lime, and cement is cement. These two are of course not the same thing. The Xia Kingdom had a clear record of using lime in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Cement was only introduced in the last century."

"But... did there be lime when Huangdi?"

"There is no clear record, so there may be, there may be no, or there may be no written record at all, so it cannot be circulated."

"That's how..."

The friends realized that this seemed to be.

The earliest text that can be recorded in a systematic manner is Taoist, but the text recorded in the Taoist text is all large text, such as heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, sun and moon, and there are basically no such words as lime.

However, not recording does not mean that it does not exist.

Many things were called differently in ancient times, so it is not surprising that they were used like this.

"The burning of soil occurs in the ruins of Hemudu culture and Liangzhu culture."

"Of course, the ancients did not quite understand why burning soil inhibited the growth of weeds, but came from the theory of the Five Elements."

"Wood grows from the soil, and water produces wood, so when it rains, the water falls into the soil and weeds."

"When fire overcomes wood, the soil burned by fire will not have weeds when it encounters water."

After explaining this, my friends were a little confused.

"Can you really explain this?"

"Actually, it's just that the principle is not like this."

"The reason why weeds are produced by soil is that there are weed seeds in the soil, and burning can remove 600% of weed seeds. The remaining ones will also lose their activity after adding quicklime."

"There is no seed in the soil, so weeds will naturally not grow."

"I see."

The friends immediately understood.

This principle is not difficult, but it is still not easy for them to think about it.

It was only after Ning Fan said that they understood this principle.

"So you just need to look at the color of the vegetation on the ground."

"After the soil layer burning, even if it settles later, the vegetation on the surface will be much sparse. Just look at the nearby areas with different colors on the satellite cloud map and you can judge it."

Ning Fan didn't say anything more.

His map is a professional map for special applications, and can be accompanied by satellite detection patterns about three meters underground.

If you want to rely on the folk map, you will never be able to find this color distinction no matter how you look at it.

Sure enough, after a few minutes, all the friends gave up.

Ning Fan didn't explain much.

Only tell Tang Qisheng and Yuan Lu about the approximate range, and arrange for them to start drawing the distribution sketch of the ruins below.

The two are numb now.

It was completely unimaginable to draw sketches without underground scanning equipment.

If someone else said this to them, it would be better if he didn't scold him to death.

But Ning Fan said this, they were still willing to give it a try. After all, Master Ning would not be wrong.

By the time someone was sent from Xijing, the drawing on the ground had been basically completed.

The old acquaintances came.

Huang Haoying and Jackdaw.

"I find that you two are getting a little closer now?"

Tang Qisheng joked that Huang Haoying actually nodded shyly, while Han Crow gave him a fierce look.

"Where is work, don't mess around!"

"oh!"

Everyone in the live broadcast room said a long time, realizing that there was gossip in it, and wanted to ask, but heard a change of topic.

"Old Yuan, are you sure this is OK?"

Huang Haoying spread out the site construction drawings in front of him, and the markings on them were accurate to the unit.

For a construction site with a temperature of tens of thousands of square meters, the error of one meter is already very small.

Especially when this site is still underground, you don’t have to consider these in the early stages, just dig them out before talking about them.

"Start work."

Seeing that the staff was in place, Yuan Lu did not hesitate at all, so he directly ordered to start.

This is related to the origin of Xia State civilization. If you dig it out earlier, you will have more conclusions earlier.

After knowing that they were digging their target, the members of the Xijing Archaeological Team also started work with a scream like chicken blood.

What a glory and credit is it to excavate the ruins of the ancestor civilization of the Xia Kingdom!

Some people may not encounter this once in their lifetime.

If you don’t seize this, it’s a waste of opportunity!
