After Yang Jing and his team arrived, the relevant leaders hosted a banquet for Yang Jing and other key personnel including Mr. Wang and Mr. Song in the evening. Yang Jing and his team stayed in the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse that night.
According to the weather forecast, the weather will be good for the next two days. In addition, in order to prepare for this dive, the Sanmenxia Reservoir upstream of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir started releasing water to free up storage capacity several days in advance. Then during the two days of the dive, the Sanmenxia Reservoir will stop releasing water. As the Xiaolangdi Reservoir has been continuously releasing water in the past few days, the water level of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir will be much lower by then.
The country has put a lot of effort into this dive. Even if this dive is only to thoroughly clarify the authenticity of the imperial seal, the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin imitated by Wu Zetian cannot be transported out for the time being, but the country still did it.
While waiting at home, Yang Jing had taken the time to use his limited time-space shuttle skills to enter Wu Zetian's mausoleum again. He not only put back the Nine Cauldrons of Dayu and the Twelve Golden Men of Qin that Wu Zetian had imitated, but also put back some unimportant gold and silver burial objects. Since it has been decided to hand over these treasures to the country, some necessary cover-ups still need to be done, and those unimportant gold and silver burial objects are the cover-ups. As for the mechanisms in the mausoleum's sacred path, Yang Jing also shut them down.
All those mechanisms were driven by the underwater river. The craftsmen who built the mausoleum at that time were really amazing. They made full use of the underwater river and used the water flow as the driving force for those mechanisms. Moreover, these mechanisms were all made of stone, so even after more than a thousand years, they can still operate.
No matter whether Wang Lao or Song Lao followed into the mausoleum, they would have to go through the sacred path to the core of the mausoleum. If these mechanisms were still in operation, they would not be able to get in. Therefore, Yang Jing had to cut off the power source of these mechanisms, that is, the flow of the dark river.
In fact, it is very simple to cut off the power source. These mechanisms are indeed very powerful on the outside, but it is very easy to crack them on the inside. As long as the four stone slabs are not raised and the water in the dark river does not flow into the sink, then those mechanisms will not be able to operate.
Yang Jing only used four steel drills to completely jam the four stone slabs so that they could not rise. In this way, the water in the underground river could not enter the sink, and the mechanism without power naturally could not operate.
Yang Jing had already completed all these preparations in advance. Now he was just waiting for Elder Wang or Elder Song to come down and take a personal tour of the mausoleum.
At around five in the morning of July 19, all these people gathered in the courtyard of the Municipal Party Committee Guesthouse. Then, at the order of Mr. Wang, dozens of people got on two Toyota Coaster buses and four off-road vehicles, and drove onto the road outside under the guidance of a police car. Behind these cars followed a large dump truck with a small crane. There was a big thing in the compartment of the truck, but it was covered tightly with rainproof cloth. Yang Jing knew that the truck was pulling the military mini-submarine.
The reason why we left so early was mainly because this time we would not be launching into the water on the south bank of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir, but in the ancient town on the north bank of the Xiaolangdi Reservoir.
The location that Yang Jing mentioned is probably the former Songjiazhuang Village. The closest place to that location that has complete infrastructure such as docks and hotels is the ancient town on the north bank of the reservoir.
Although the launch time was short, the subsequent excavation work would not be completed in one or two days or one or two weeks. It would take at least several months. Therefore, Mr. Wang and his team needed a town with sufficient basic conditions as a base, and after much selection, they chose the ancient town.
Wang Lao did not sit in those cars with others, but got directly into Yang Jing's car. Wang Lao and Yang Jing's second master Xiao Lao had a very good relationship. Yang Jing had met Wang Lao several times before and was considered familiar with him.
"Xiao Yang, I have good news for you." As soon as Yang Jing got in the car, Mr. Wang said to him with a smile.
"Mr. Wang, please go ahead and tell me. I'm all ears." Yang Jing was naturally very happy when he heard that it was good news.
"The Lu Ban box you gave to Lao Xiao and the silk map you took out of the Lu Ban box has been carbon-14 identified by the hospital. I was notified by phone last night that the two items were confirmed to be from the Later Tang Dynasty, about 1085 years ago. The Lu Ban box is slightly earlier than the silk map. The fact that the age of these two items can be identified means that the jade seal you found based on these two items is very likely to be the imperial seal. Xiao Yang, is this good news?"
Yang Jing smiled and nodded.
Man, you already knew this, okay? Although carbon-14 dating is quite accurate, it is not as accurate as the time given by the holy ring.
However, this is definitely good news after all!
