Hearing Chen Chen's question, Principal Wang was stunned and said, "How did you know something happened to the imperial mausoleum?"

"Didn't I originally want to come and see how the situation was?? But when I looked at Principal Wang, you didn't look so good."

Chen Chen explained casually.

Principal Wang sighed after hearing this and said, "Something happened to the imperial mausoleum."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Chen and Su Zhi's eyes widened.

Netizens in the live broadcast room also became worried.

It can make the archaeologist who was so happy yesterday look like this now.

Could it be that something big happened inside the ancient tomb? ? ?

"Principal Wang, is it because my eldest brother used too much force when he hoeed the ground, and the imperial mausoleum collapsed?"

Su Zhi suddenly hit the target at this time.

Chen Chen's forehead darkened.

Principal Wang was stunned by Su Zhi's sudden move for a long time, but then he shook his head and said: "Although Mr. Chen Chen is a little stronger, the imperial mausoleum is not that easy to collapse."

"The specific matter has to be discussed from this morning..."

Under the eyes of everyone, Principal Wang told the specific source of the matter.

It turned out that after confirming that this was Li Shimin's tomb last night, the archaeologists who had already arrived at the scene held a meeting overnight.

The specific content of the meeting was to discuss whether Li Shimin's mausoleum should be excavated.

However, this meeting seemed very strange to ordinary people.

After an ancient tomb was taken over by archaeologists.

The following process is to excavate and explore ancient tombs.

How to hold a meeting to discuss whether to dig or not? ? Generally speaking, isn’t it done directly? ?

But this is not the case. Before every archaeological work begins, the ancient tomb must be evaluated first.

A meeting was then held to discuss whether to dig.

There will be a long discussion in the process. Archeology does not mean that you must excavate an ancient tomb after it is discovered.

Even if what is discovered this time is Li Shimin's imperial tomb, it is no exception.

The archaeological strategy implemented by Daxia Kingdom is actually rescue excavation. In most cases, the ancient tombs excavated by archaeologists are usually the tombs stolen by tomb thieves.

Or the interior of the tomb was damaged for some reason.

Archaeologists excavate only as a last resort...

For a complete ancient tomb without any damage, archaeologists generally take protective measures.

Protect the ancient tombs to avoid damage to the ancient tombs.

In the meeting on Li Shiming's tomb last night, most archaeologists had the same opinion.

Because after observing the surrounding environment, they did not find any burglary holes nearby.

In other words, in Li Shimin's mausoleum, except for a burial tomb that was dug out by Chen Chen with a hoe...

The tombs in other places are well preserved and there is no need for excavation.

Even if the tomb is excavated, it is possible to find other authentic works of Wang Xizhi, and it is even possible to dig out the legendary "Preface to the Lanting Collection", the best running script in the world.

After all, as one of the most famous emperors of the Tang Dynasty, it is well known that Li Shimin loved calligraphy.

Legends are recorded in history books, and Li Shimin collected many authentic works about Wang Xizhi.

Therefore, it is not impossible to dig out the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" from his tomb.

But archeology is not about making money, nor is it about pursuing expensive cultural relics. All archaeological work must be carried out based on the conditions of the tomb itself.

Even if the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum is in front of you, you can't dig it...

Therefore, after preliminary discussions at last night's meeting, Principal Wang and the others did not intend to excavate the ancient tomb dug by Chen Chen.

Instead, we plan to build an exhibition hall here to protect this place.

For this reason, Principal Wang and others even discussed with Professor Wang all night about the construction of the exhibition hall. It originally took one night.

Everything has been discussed.

But just this morning...an accident happened...

In the morning, the staff responsible for exploring the conditions of the tomb came with news.

After their inspection...the staff discovered that there was an underground river under the mausoleum...

The most worrying thing is that according to the judgment of the staff, the water level of the underground river is constantly rising...

In less than a few months at most, the water level will rise to where the mausoleum is...

This means that the tomb below may be soaked by water for a long time. For a tomb that has been buried underground for a long time...

That was undoubtedly a fatal blow.

So when Principal Wang and his party learned the news, they immediately changed their plan for dealing with the tomb.

Carry out rescue excavation of the tomb immediately! !

However... as the excavation work began, problems began to arise.

Since there are only a few months left, it is best to start the rescue and excavation work from the main tomb.

The main tomb in the imperial tomb is often the place with the most funerary objects.

In this way, possible losses to the mausoleum can be saved as much as possible.

But the problem is that they still don't know where the main tomb is, and what Chen Chen dug was just a tomb for burials.

The scale of an imperial mausoleum may often be larger than several football fields.

Not to mention that this is Li Shimin's mausoleum, which will only be bigger, not smaller.

I don’t know how much time it will take to locate the main tomb.

From morning to now, Principal Wang and the others have been discussing how to find the location of the main tomb.

But I still haven’t found a way to 100% confirm the location of the main tomb...

That's why Principal Wang and the others had that expression just now.

............

As Principal Wang finished the matter.

After hearing this, the netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't help but become even more worried.

"So?? In a few months, the imperial mausoleum down here will be flooded??"

"Ah!! No way?? In this case, will the corpses and funerary objects inside be affected??"

"If it is a metal item, it may not be affected much in the short term, but over time, a chemical reaction may occur. Not to mention non-metal items.

It will most likely be scrapped if soaked in water. "

"Yes, the only things that are not afraid of being soaked in water are probably pottery and porcelain. The rest of the things can't withstand being soaked in water!!!"

"Ah!! Why don't you dig it out quickly??"

"It can't be that simple. Didn't you hear Principal Wang say that the location of the main tomb can't be found yet?"

"Then there is no way to find the location of the main tomb??"

"It's not impossible. In ancient times, people were buried according to Feng Shui. If you can find a Feng Shui master to come and take a look at it, you might be able to find the location of the main tomb."
