Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 145 A Smooth Excavation Work

For these non-professionals, important items are basically equal to gold, silver and jewelry.So after hearing Liang En and Fan Meng's reasonable analysis of the area, most of the people around dispersed.

After all, for most people, looking at the gold and silver jewelry or beautiful artworks in the museum may be of interest, but they are not sensitive to these rusty lumps.

"Shall we report to Mr. Steward now?" After almost everyone left, Captain Lubzon Jr. came over and asked.

"Of course." Liang En nodded. After all, in this entrusted situation, it is the correct way to report immediately if there is any achievement.And he didn't take the initiative to mention it just now, because this is the job of Captain Lubzon Jr.

"That's right! When you told Butler Lubzon, let him report to the Canadian archaeological department a little later. It's best to leave it for us to conduct basic exploration."

"Understood." After Liang En finished speaking, Lubzon Jr. nodded, and then climbed up the stairs to the bridge and used the satellite phone to contact the butler Lubzon waiting at the port.

Fifteen minutes later, when Liang En had just cleaned out a rusty nail from a lump of mud, Captain Lubzon Jr. came down amidst the sound of iron stairs.

"My father has already contacted the Earl, and the Earl said that he can only help you stay for three days at most. If it takes more than three days, it is likely to have some unnecessary conflicts with the cultural relics protection department in this area. "

"Three days——if you work hard and overtime, you should be able to complete a basic survey with the help of ground-penetrating radar." Liang En nodded, and then watched Captain Lubzon Jr. leave.

"It seems that we may have to work overtime tomorrow." Liang En said to Fan Meng after Little Lubson went upstairs. "But with luck, we should be able to complete the most important exploration work."

For Liang En, although the time gained for this period is much shorter than expected, the basic exploration work is not impossible to complete.It's just that you may need to consume a few more cards.

"No problem, I will work overtime for as long as you say." Fan Meng has no resistance to overtime work, after all, he is comfortable doing this job and earns a lot.So when it's time to work hard, you will never fish.

So the next morning, when the sun had just risen from the eastern sea, Fan Meng woke Liang En up, and after a simple breakfast, they took a rubber boat together with a crew member and three ravens returned to shore.

Considering the lack of time, Liang En and Fan Meng simply started a large-scale survey with the ground penetrating radar today.

Fortunately, they have already found a house, and it is also a religious building, so if they want to find other buildings, they only need to search around with this building as the center.

As a result, after one morning, they realized that they had wasted half of their manpower: because there was no building across the small river to the south of this religious building.

Obviously, the group of Vikings probably used this solid religious building as a military support point, and at the same time used the small river as a barrier.

The reason for this analysis is that churches in early continental Europe did have military missions.At the same time, the epic also said that a conflict broke out between the Vinland colony and the local aborigines at that time, and there was a need for defense.

After confirming this, Liang En and the others immediately concentrated all their efforts on the north bank of the river and started searching. Considering that the Vikings came from the sea, they mainly searched for a line parallel to the sea.

Because the things underground were not buried deep, after greatly reducing the search area, it only took them one day to find the buried ruins distributed under a piece of land seven to eighty meters away.

These buildings are almost in a line, almost parallel to the coastline.The two largest buildings are located at the head and tail of the row of buildings, and the third, slightly larger building is located in the center of the row of buildings.

So in the next two days, after consuming three [Detection (N)] cards, Liang En finally found a series of important cultural relics, and confirmed the identities of the people who lived here and the rooms. the use of.

Among these rooms are churches, group houses, blacksmith shops, carpentry workshops and lords' longhouses.Perhaps because of the embarrassment when they retreated that year, that group of people left a lot of items that can be used by future generations to identify the purpose of the room.

For example, in the remains of a house they found charcoal, anvils and iron bars, and a form of crypt house built for fire protection.Then it was determined that this should be a blacksmith's shop.

The other room is a wooden building completely built on the ground, leaving only a few carbonized wooden parts left underground.Fortunately, chisels, saws and axes in the room indicate that this room used to be a woodworking factory.

And in the remains of the largest room, nearly 30m long and 15m wide, they found a stone ring used on the loom and a small perforated round stone on the top of the spinning spindle.

The presence of these weaving tools proves that there were women in the camp, which further proves that this was indeed a colony and not a Viking outpost used to gather supplies.

"You are amazing!" Fan Meng said excitedly as he patted Liang En on the shoulder when he returned to the boat on the third night. "It turns out that every tentative excavation can dig out valuable things."

"It can only be called luck." Liang En showed a slightly ugly smile, because none of the three cards consumed during the two-day excavation could be replenished.

I have to say that the group of colonists retreated in an orderly manner, so all that was left behind were bulky and low-value things, so that Liang En had no way to get new cards from them.

Fortunately, the things dug up this time are precious enough, and can be used as direct evidence to clearly show the function of these rooms and the identity of the owner. It can be regarded as the completion of the task entrusted by Mr. Earl, and at the same time, it can also gain a reputation.

Of course, the so-called precious items here are only from an archaeological point of view.To the crew of the ship, half-rotted bone parts, rusted iron and blackened wood were no different from rubbish.

Therefore, Liang En directly packed the cultural relics with precious information and put them in the corner of the cabin restaurant, so he didn't have to worry about anyone stealing things with dirty hands and feet.

"The archaeological department from Newfoundland, Canada will come around noon tomorrow." After Liang En and the others finished their dinner.Captain Lubzon Jr. came over and said.

"Tomorrow? I thought they would rush over tonight." After listening to Captain Lubzon's words, Liang En looked a little unbelievable. "Didn't you inform them of the points I made earlier?"

The reason why Liang En was so shocked was because in his memory, this ruin was recognized as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO in his last world, so he didn't quite understand why the Canadian archaeological department responded so calmly.
