Chapter 1174 – Focus (II)

After Zhuang Rui and Prof. Meng passed the phone call, and after about an hour or so, an Armed Police Captain and a squadron of soldiers, led by Peng Fei and Bartel, arrived at the Swan Lake.

The armed police captain was ordered to follow Zhuang Rui’s instructions and leadership, but Zhuang Rui hadn’t personally presided over an archaeological excavation and wasn’t very good at these things, so he simply left it all to Dr. Ren to make the arrangements.

When Dr. Ren Chunqiang conducted archaeological excavations in the past, he often dealt with the local garrison or armed police, so he was familiar with the job.

Due to the importance of the underground tomb, Ren Chunqiang will Swan Lake within a radius of three hundred meters of the waters, are listed as a restricted area, every twenty meters set up a post, almost surrounded this place is watertight.

There are Bartel and Timur these locals with the cooperation of the external declaration of the troops in this place to practice, but it is to save a lot of trouble, but there are still some enthusiastic Mongolians to the warriors to send the milk tea food.

Armed police are carrying provisions, including tents, after dark in good order in the Swan Lake around the shore set up tents, Zhuang Rui this day almost no mental relaxation, this will also feel the fatigue, and did not enter the dark river again, but a beautiful night’s sleep.

The next morning, the roar of the helicopter, so that the lake became noisy, seems to have never seen this big bird made of iron, chasing the wind on the ground long hissed, slightly uneasy to look at the helicopter that slowly landed.

“Chasing the wind, it’s okay, don’t be afraid ……”

Zhuang Rui heard Chasing Wind’s hissing, and hastily soothed it, watching the three military helicopters, finished zigzag landing not far from the shore.

“Teacher?”

Zhuang Rui’s eyes were sharp, and he saw that the person who came down from the first helicopter was actually Professor Meng, and hurriedly greeted him.

“Teacher, why have you arrived so early? I thought you wouldn’t be able to come until the afternoon.”

Looking at his teacher’s head full of white hair somewhat scattered under the strong wind of the helicopter’s propellers, Zhuang Rui’s heart was filled with respect, and he could tell that Professor Meng had rushed over without a moment’s delay after arranging things in Beijing.

Prof. Meng looked a bit tired, waved his hand and said to Zhuang Rui: “Let’s not talk about this first, Minister Ouyang is also here, you welcome him first!”

“What? Brother-in-law is here?”

Zhuang Rui was shocked at the words, he is not a person in the system, there is no need to cover up and block in front of people and address Minister Ouyang, at that moment, he took a step forward, and just saw Ouyang Zhenwu get off the helicopter behind Professor Meng.

Zhuang Rui helped Ouyang Zhenwu, mouth complained: “brother-in-law, how did you come? You can’t stand this overnight?”

In the younger generation of Ouyang family, Zhuang Rui and Ouyang Jun have the best relationship, the most respected is Ouyang Lei, as for the elders, he and his brother-in-law are the closest, unlike the great uncle so serious and stereotypical.

Ouyang Zhenwu looked at this only nephew of his and scolded with a smile, “You kid, as soon as you are released, you are so wild that you don’t want to go back, your grandpa has been chanting about you for many times, if you don’t go back, he is going to send his soldiers to take you back.”

As one of the core members of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Zhenwu knows a little bit of Zhuang Rui’s miraculous medical skills, and also personally experienced, if not for the old man’s recent good health, I’m afraid that Zhuang Rui has long been recalled to Beijing.

Hearing Ouyang Zhenwu mention the old man, Zhuang Rui looked a little bleak, said in a low voice: “Uncle, you can rest assured! After I’m done this time, I’ll go back to Beijing to guard Grandpa.”

Although Zhuang Rui had never broken his treatment for the old man during these years, the seemingly omnipotent aura could not resist the erosion of age after all, and in recent years it was old age, but fortunately, it was just pure aging of the body’s functions, and there was no disease lingering around.

“By the way, brother-in-law, this time how to labor your great driving ah?”

Zhuang Rui saw from a few helicopters and down a lot of people, at that moment the topic was diverted, his heart is also really some curiosity, although the excavation of the Mongolian emperor’s mausoleum is a big thing, but it is not so much to let Ouyang Zhenwu this big minister personally come, right?

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Ouyang Zhenwu’s face was serious, said: “Zhuang Rui, in recent years the country are considering the development of grassland economy, carry out the grassland characteristics of tourism, but in addition to a number of traditional projects, there has been no other characteristics, if this time really can excavate the Mongolian emperor’s tomb, then for the promotion of the economic development of Inner Mongolia, will play an immeasurable role. ”

As the domestic competent cultural sector of the big minister, Ouyang Zhenwu’s vision is naturally much longer than Zhuang Rui.

And Ouyang Zhenwu Chinese traditional culture also know very well, very understanding of that part of the history of the Mongolian Yuan, know that if it is really a Mongolian emperor’s tomb unearthed, then its sensational effect, will not be in the first emperor of Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses below.

To know, each year to visit the Terracotta Warriors income from the tickets, as high as 200 million yuan, and this is not the big head, because the visitors alone to eat, drink and accommodation expenses, to far exceed the ticket cost, which means that only a Terracotta Warriors attractions, each year will be able to bring more than a billion dollars of income for the local.

If you can develop such a tourism project in the grasslands, it will certainly drive the rapid development of the surrounding economy, but also to solve the grassland tourism can only be riding and wrestling single tourism project.

But only these, is not enough to let Ouyang Zhenwu personally come, after looking around, Ouyang Zhenwu whispered to Zhuang Rui said: “The old man heard that you have made achievements again, let me come to see you.”

This old man is old, especially miss the children and grandchildren, the old man but just more than twenty days did not see Zhuang Rui, want to be very much, heard that Zhuang Rui in Mongolia has a major archaeological discovery, simply let the cultural aspects of the work of Ouyang Zhenwu run a trip.

“Brother-in-law, thank you grandpa.”

Zhuang Rui can feel the old man’s love and care for him, whether it is far away in Beijing grandfather, or in front of his brother-in-law, for his concern is from the heart.

“Alright, enough of the private talk, let’s talk about business below! Zhuang Rui, this battle is not small, if you lie about military intelligence, I’ll have to hit the board.”

Ouyang Zhenwu smiled and waved his hand, with the sound of his words, many people came down from the other two helicopters.

Among these people, there were also quite a few domestic archaeologists and language experts that Zhuang Rui was familiar with, to be able to gather so many people in just one afternoon and send them here overnight, it was evident that the state was paying attention to this matter.

There is even a camera team, once the aircraft on the camera on the Ouyang Minister and Zhuang Rui, they are sent by CCTV, from now to the end of the excavation, will be a complete record of the entire archaeological process.

Along with the helicopter arriving here, there were also some instruments and equipment, soon, a huge tent was set up more than twenty meters away from the lake, after Ouyang Zhenwu was the first to enter, all the experts entered the tent one after another.

“Let’s first listen to Zhuang Rui’s findings on the preliminary stage of this scientific research work, let’s all observe the physical objects, and then we’ll decide on the later work.”

Ouyang Zhenwu was pragmatic and didn’t have much to say, allowing Zhuang Rui to take out the gold cakes he brought out from within the river and handed them over to the experts and scholars at the site, and when he entered for the second time, he brought out a few more pieces.

At the same time, Zhuang Rui also will discover the underground maze entrance of the process, detailed to the crowd present, including the river channel of the undercurrent of water and grass, and many other difficulties, all said.

From time to time, there are some scholars in the field to raise questions, Zhuang Rui also one by one to give the answer, after understanding all this, the experts face are showing a look of excitement.

These experts do not know, there is just a back road to build the mausoleum craftsmen, in their understanding, the dark river is the entrance to the mausoleum.

Of course, this understanding was not wrong, from the various forms of the mausoleum that Zhuang Rui had observed, only the passageway at the bottom of this lake was the most convenient way to reach the mausoleum.

“This …… what is written on this is Marco Polo, this is the earliest Mongolian script, it is also only circulated among the Mongolian royal family, due to the fact that the people who learn it are too few, it is slowly lost at the back.”

Soon, a Mongolian language and writing expert who was holding a gold cake recognized the writing on it.

“That’s right, this is indeed Marco Polo, although no Mongolian royal family tombs have been unearthed until now, there are some Mongolian royal family items that have been passed down with these words engraved on them.”

An expert who studied Mongolian culture also put forward his opinion, “This specification shape of gold cake has never been unearthed before, I suspect that it was used by emperors to accompany their burials, and this discovery in Xiaozhuang is very likely to be a Mongolian royal tomb.”

“This is not easy to say, it is still necessary to carry out some surveys first, otherwise it would not be good to make a joke.”

“Yes! Now there is no survey video, we can’t even judge.”

“Aren’t these objects all empirical evidence? I think we can set up a commanding officer first, and then carry out further survey work.”

The archaeological conference is not like doing a government report, for a while, the experts present have put forward their own opinions, the oldest want to excavate more clues, can’t wait to get into the Emperor’s Tomb is in favor of setting up an archaeological site command immediately.

“All right, let’s not argue, so …… led by Xiao Zhuang, form a five person survey team to enter the following, and bring in some wireless equipment, so that the people above can also see, and then discuss whether to carry out excavation as well as the specific matters!”

Seeing the chaos in the field, Ouyang Zhenwu and Prof. Meng came up with a decision after discussing in a low voice.

Archaeology is a very rigorous discipline, simply rely on Zhuang Rui took out these gold cakes, and can not be hastily excavated, but also need a lot of detailed work.

However, Ouyang Zhenwu let Zhuang Rui as a leader, but contains two layers of meaning, one is because Zhuang Rui went down, familiar with the road, two to this leader, but also established Zhuang Rui behind the presence and status in the command.
