Wang Jinpeng is quite professional, and he figured out the structure of this wooden door in a short time.

"There is no special mechanism, just pry it open." Wang Jinpeng said.

But Captain Chen said: "It is best not to destroy the wooden door. After all, it is an ancient cultural relic and has certain research value."

"We won't use brute force to break it open." Lin Ran said, and then he also came to the wooden door.

The door was simply in disrepair and could do with a little sprucing up.

I don't plan to destroy the door. I just need to pry off the stone next to it to take off the entire door.

Anyway, this tomb chamber is not going to be preserved. Just hand over the wooden door to the archaeological team.

Just as they started, the excavation work of the archaeological team also began.

It seemed that Captain Chen's people did not do much research in archaeology. They had already begun to move the things in the tomb, one by one, out of the tomb.

Anyone with a little knowledge would not do this. Going to the tomb is inherently a very physically demanding task. Going in and out not only consumes a lot of physical energy, but the difference in air between the inside and outside will also put pressure on the body.

Lin Ran didn't interrupt them. People are so strange, especially adults. They always do things they think are right and are very stubborn. Even if you tell him that it is not good to do so, he will not really accept others. Opinion.

Rather than doing useless work, it is better to spend more time studying the tomb chamber.

Lin Ran picked up the flashlight and observed the structure of the tomb.

The walls of the entire tomb are made of blue bricks, forming an arched structure directly above the tomb.

Orthodox tombs are not built like this, so it is not difficult to guess that when they were building the tomb, their techniques were still relatively immature, perhaps because they had no experience, or maybe because the manufacturing technology at that time was low.

Only the most primitive method can be used——

Fill with soil and build bricks.

After the tomb is built, the soil underneath is dug away.

This will form an arched structure, relying on the tension of the earth and stones to support the entire tomb.

"Vaulted tombs originated in the Five Dynasties period, but mainly appeared in the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty. They are a special form of ancient Chinese tomb architecture. The characteristic is that there is an arched building above the tomb, which looks like an arch, so it is also named arched. tomb."

While Lin Ran was thinking, Professor Li was already introducing relevant knowledge to the graduate students.

It was obvious to both students that they had never participated in archaeological work.

They took pens and wrote down the contents in their notebooks.

The purpose of their visit this time was not for archeology, but just to gain some experience and familiarize themselves with the future working environment.

Lin Ran felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but he did not correct it. Anyway, for students, as long as they can understand this, it is enough.

Unlike their native masters, who have been dealing with ancient tombs all year round, they have a more thorough understanding of the structure of ancient tombs.

Only then did he notice that the two students had been following Professor Li, and they were very curious about everything in the ancient tomb.

Especially at the beginning, when they saw the structure of the achievements inside, they couldn't help but think of scenes from horror stories.

But after calming down and confirming that there was no supernatural phenomenon inside, they felt at ease and gathered around Professor Li, listening to him tell the information about the ancient tomb and the background.

Lin Ran felt very natural about all this. In his previous life, he had been with his mentor for such a period of time.

Just when he fell into a brief memory, Wang Jinpeng called out to him: "Brother Lin, the door has been opened."

Looking at the wooden door, he had taken it down intact and placed it on the ground.

Behind the wooden door, there is indeed a dark corridor.

"Teacher, is this the corridor mentioned in the book?" After hearing Wang Jinpeng's words, the male student also noticed the situation on the wooden door and asked Professor Li carefully.

It can be seen that he is relatively studious, has a certain theoretical foundation, and dares to ask for advice humbly when facing unfamiliar things.

This is a quality a student should possess.

Professor Li raised his head, looked at the dark corridor, and said, "Yes, you can reach the main tomb chamber through the corridor."

"Can I go ahead?" the boy said excitedly, the desire for adventure already spreading in his heart.

Professor Li smiled and shook his head: "Traps are usually set up in ancient tombs. If you have no experience, it will be dangerous to walk in front."

Wang Jinpeng picked up the shovel, looked at the students and said, "Just don't cause trouble for us, just follow me."

After saying that, he took the lead and prepared to enter the corridor.

Lin Ran suddenly felt a breath of wind in the corridor. Although it was very weak, he still caught it.

"Strange, isn't this a sealed structure?" Lin Ran thought to himself.

Looking at the dark corridor, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

There may be something weird in there.

Lin Ran came to Wang Jinpeng and held his shoulders.

"You help me with lighting, and I'll go in front."

Lin Ran's words were orders to them. They trusted Lin Ran very much. Since he had proposed to go in front, Wang Jinpeng would naturally not object and gave up his position.

When Captain Chen saw Lin Ran volunteering to walk in front, he laughed and said to Liu Jingfeng: "Captain Liu, your apprentice is good and courageous. But in an ancient tomb, courage alone is not enough."

Liu Jingfeng heard a hint of contempt in his words, and thought to himself, "The number of ancient tombs we have visited may be more than the number of ancient tombs you have seen, let alone Lin Ran."

But now is not the time to make extraneous matters. Liu Jingfeng just waved his hand: "It's just an ordinary masonry-structured ancient tomb. The risk is not high. Even though he is young, his experience is no less than those present."

For the archaeological team, the biggest danger in ancient tombs does not come from traps.

Instead, the stable structure of the ancient tomb was taken into consideration.

Some tombs are structurally unstable and in danger of collapsing once inside.

However, the arch is originally a stable structure close to a triangle. Even after thousands of years, as long as the basic structure is not damaged, there is no danger of collapse.

Furthermore, judging from the furnishings in the front room, it should be an ordinary tomb, and there should be no traps.

This kind of ancient tombs are usually guarded by specialized tomb keepers, and there is no need to set traps in the tombs.

However, every dynasty firmly believed that it would be eternal, but they did not expect that one day it would eventually be shattered.

Captain Chen smiled noncommittally, since he didn't need his people to take the lead anyway.
