Of course, they just chatted for a few words, joking with each other. After Su Hao checked the coffin and said he didn't see any damage, Director Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Watching the truck leave, several people also returned to the mountain. At this time, the crane had left. They did not continue to excavate the female stream in front of them, but asked Su Hao to continue to excavate the remaining tombs.

There must be one or two. When Su Hao drove the excavator and selected an open space next to Nuliu's tomb, he shoveled it down and dug out another hole.

But this time, I was not so lucky. The tomb in front of me was actually just an ordinary tomb, and for various reasons, the funerary objects inside had already been oxidized to the point where the shape could not be seen clearly, and they were not valuable items. It seemed It also has no research value.

The most important thing is that the coffin in front of them has disappeared, and no remains can be found in the tomb. However, the two curators did not feel that there was anything wrong, because this kind of tomb is more in line with the kind of civilian tomb, and the previous ones were not. The tomb of Nuliu I saw was a complete coffin and ancient corpse left behind by coincidence.

Generally speaking, after two thousand years of baptism, the contents inside the tomb have long been corroded. Even if the entire tomb is sealed, since bacteria can reproduce in extremely harsh environments, even if the entire tomb is It is sealed but cannot prevent the growth of bacteria.

And the culprit of rotting corpses is the bacteria. The tomb in front of you may have air leakage or damage, which causes a large amount of air to enter inside, forming a greenhouse for bacteria to breed. After going back and forth, the inside of the tomb becomes... It looks like this now.

Oxidation is a problem that archaeologists have always wanted to solve. The reason why they took the initiative to dig up this tomb was because Su Hao shoveled directly to the entrance. Originally, they thought that these tombs would not have any great research value.

But this is a large tomb group after all, which has never appeared in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Under such circumstances, it is normal for Director Huang to want to open the tomb. This is a world record after all, and if the world record can remain in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, what will happen to it? It is a very important thing for the entire museum.

It is estimated that this incident will be spread throughout Dongguang in the future.

This is why Director Huang asked Su Hao to excavate these tombs.

But he never expected that Su Hao would unearth a tomb with a complete coffin in his first dig, and there was also a complete ancient corpse inside which was of great research value.

The most important thing is that this is the only thing in the entire tomb that has research value, and there is no need to worry about other things oxidizing. Although the iron wood is wood, it has not changed at all after being stored for so many years, and it has not oxidized after being exposed to the air. You can tell by looking at the signs that it has undergone special treatment.

Ancient anti-corrosion technology was actually quite good. The ancient Egyptians more than [-] years ago had already understood how to do anti-corrosion, and similar technology existed in China.

The craftsmen evenly coated the two layers of the coffin with a certain kind of gum, making it completely inaccessible to the air. In addition, the coffin was sealed from the beginning, leaving no room for bacteria to grow.

This is most likely why the coffin that was transported away was well preserved.

After all, it is certain that the number of bacteria produced when it is completely sealed is less than usual, and in this case, the bacteria that can corrode the inside of the coffin are completely isolated from the outside.

It seems that they have been unable to damage the coffin itself through the thick resin layer for more than two thousand years, so both the coffin and the ancient corpse have been preserved.

This may be explained by coincidence, but a single coincidence will not cause this to happen. It will take many coincidences, and now it naturally fits this perfectly.

Naturally, the tomb being excavated now does not have such good preservation conditions. One look at the remains of the coffin and it is clear that it is made of ordinary, no more ordinary wood. It is enough to be able to leave these remains in the history of more than two thousand years. It can be said that this wood is exquisite enough.

Although the tomb in front of you is a civilian tomb, at least it is the tomb of a wealthy family. Generally speaking, the real poor people have no tombs at all. When they die, they will be directly dumped in mass graves or buried in some land. , not even a coffin.

There is not only a tomb in front of you, but also the remains of a coffin and coffin. It is enough to describe the owner of the tomb as a dignitary. And judging from the oxidized burial objects, the owner of the tomb is still a very wealthy person.

Most of the oxidized funerary objects in the tomb are bronzes or various earthen porcelain. At that time, someone could afford to use utensils of this size and use them as funerary objects. If the other party had no social status, it would definitely be impossible. of.

Therefore, the civilians they refer to actually include those who are high-ranking officials but whose official positions are not very high. However, these people must be rich, otherwise they would not leave the tomb in front of them.

"These oxidized bronzes and ceramics actually have certain research value, but there are not many, you can pack them up first." Su Hao looked at the oxides on the ground and said this to Director Huang behind him.

"What's the value?"

From the beginning, Curator Huang felt that there was no difference between these oxidized funerary objects. This was because even if the traces of oxidation could be removed with current technology, the beautiful patterns before could no longer be restored. These cultural relics were nothing more than Third-level cultural relics. For their city museum, third-level cultural relics really have no restoration value.

This actually involves a very normal theory, which is the same effect and reciprocal effect of cultural relics. After all, the value of a museum treasure is relative to ten first-level cultural relics, one hundred second-level cultural relics, and one thousand third-level cultural relics. .

Based on this theory, third-level cultural relics are really not of much value. Maybe the district museum or town museum below will regard them as very good cultural relics, but for the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Museum, these things are worthless. Besides, you have to spend a lot of money to repair it, which is really not worth it.

It is precisely because of this that Director Huang is so curious about why Su Hao values ​​these things.

"Although one or two items are nothing, more can always produce value. Besides, don't forget, these cultural relics actually come from this entire tomb group. If this is really determined to be the tomb group with the most tombs, from then on Are you afraid that the things unearthed here are worthless?" Su Hao told the truth.

Yes, if this large group of tombs in front of us is confirmed to be the largest group of tombs in the world, the funerary objects inside will definitely be able to establish a new museum. At this point, we really cannot use the value to describe these oxidized objects. grave goods, but rather the ability of these items to be combined into a specific exhibition.

A unique exhibition is sometimes worth more than a single first-class cultural relic. In fact, you can try to combine these cultural relics to double their value.

Su Hao is a very honest person. He just likes the title of the largest tomb group in the world. He feels that the funerary objects unearthed here can definitely surpass those ordinary exhibits. If they are all put together, they can even become the treasure of the museum. level.

This is actually the same as those special museums. For example, the Nanhai No. [-] treasure ship unearthed in Zhan City was worth a treasure. The twenty-one treasures are actually the treasure ship. The wreckage of the ship was included.

From here, we can also imagine that the effect of displaying specific cultural relics together is very great, so great that it can even compete with the treasures of the museum.

"Is that so?"

Curator Huang actually heard the implication of Su Hao's words. Just as they said, if these oxidized cultural relics were really put together and displayed as exhibits, their value would definitely exceed that of a single first-class cultural relic.

You must know that there are only a dozen first-class cultural relics in the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Museum, and each of them is quite difficult to obtain. Therefore, Su Hao's words now clearly gave him the idea of ​​​​excavating all the tombs.

Of course, this still depends on the final ratings of the coffins and ancient corpses.

If the coffin and the ancient corpse are finally rated as treasures, the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Museum can take this opportunity to display the surrounding funerary objects as exhibits. Firstly, it can prevent a single exhibit from appearing monotonous. Secondly, All the collections can also be used as accompanying exhibitions, and it will not be said that they have no real value.

At least being able to be put on display in the spotlight is enough to prove that they are valuable.

Just as he said, Director Huang immediately ordered people to collect all the oxidized funerary objects in the tomb, but he didn't pay much attention to the remains of the coffins. Even if these things were taken out for testing, nothing could be detected, so he just left them alone. He piled it in place.

After that, Su Hao excavated several tombs one after another, but they were no different from the second tomb. The tomb chamber was also much smaller than the first tomb. It can be seen that the first tomb was completely different from the following tomb. There are large differences between the tombs, so it can be judged that they are not in the same tomb group.

But this also raises a question: why was this first tomb so close to other family’s tombs, but no one stopped it?

So Su Hao later thought that this single tomb was definitely connected to the entire tomb group, but they hadn't found the connection yet.

After all, the current evidence is not enough to support any connection between the two tombs, and he had previously thought that these were unrelated tombs. Now that he suddenly changed his mind, it was actually a bit unexpected. Naturally, You have to find new evidence to prove that your conclusion is correct.

When the sixth tomb was excavated, it was already noon. At this time, Officer Hao was still accompanying everyone, but the other two police officers had already transported the body back. Afterwards, the forensic doctor also conducted a comprehensive examination of the body. After testing, they finally came to a conclusion similar to what Su Hao proposed. These corpses were those who died four or five years ago and were buried here.

There were four corpses in total, and the time of death was basically no more than a year. It can be said that the murderer committed the crime very concentratedly, killing four people in less than a year, and the death of one of them was extremely horrific, which made the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Police Department a little worried. Uneasy, the case was taken over by the police department.

Therefore, Su Hao would have to go directly to the Police Department to record a statement, but for him, it was something he could no longer get used to, so he planned to go directly to the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Police Department to record a statement after dinner, and then return to the excavation site.

However, Director Huang and the others were still excavating local tombs without any stop. They were not like Su Hao who could wander around. After all, Su Hao was not part of their establishment. He had already analyzed the general area of ​​the tomb before leaving. Once he dug it out, he no longer needed to follow him around for the next work.

At this time, the photographer followed Su Hao into the rented car. Since the car could be renewed, he was not in a hurry to return it. Moreover, if it was not his own car, he could actually drive it at the original speed. If it were his own car, he could drive it at the original speed. Afraid of going to the extreme and having a bad meeting.

At this extreme speed, they soon arrived at the police station.

However, there were some minor incidents along the way. Su Hao's serious speeding caused a group of traffic policemen to chase the car. However, they could not keep up with Su Hao's speed and could only be thrown further and further away. In addition, Su Hao accurately avoided several interception points and arrived in front of the police station intact.

When he parked the vehicle at the entrance of the police station, the traffic policemen who arrived late showed extremely shocked expressions. They did not expect that Su Hao would park directly at this place. This was no different from surrendering.

Originally, when Su Hao swaggered into the police station, he would be knocked down by the police around him. However, when they saw the photographer behind him holding a camera, they did not dare to act rashly. They all second-guessed who the person in front of them was. The son of a high-ranking official was so arrogant that he came to the police station to provoke the police.

Then, I saw this guy making a phone call directly.

Five minutes later, they saw the director of their own police department actually coming out of the elevator. After seeing the young man in front of them, they stepped forward to greet him with a smile. Then they saw that they were scared and walked towards the upper floor together.

After seeing this scene, these police officers were more certain of their thoughts. This must be the son of some high-ranking official. He actually asked his boss to receive him personally. They really didn't believe that this guy had no identity.

Su Hao, who was sitting in the elevator at this time, had no idea what the people outside were guessing. The call he just made was naturally to Director Xu, asking him to help contact the Director of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Police Department, and this director was busy. I used to be a cadre in the provincial department, so I got in touch right away.

Hearing that it was the old leader who personally called to inquire, Director He of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Police Department naturally did not dare to make any mistakes, so he went downstairs to greet him personally. As a result, the policemen saw it and misunderstood him. .
