They came very early today, and when they arrived, the workers at the construction site and the staff from the institute had not arrived yet.
Ren Tingxi was quite shocked when he saw the twelve coffins and twelve corpses neatly placed there.
After all, ordinary people rarely see so many corpses placed together. And they are all corpses from more than 2,000 years ago.
However, it was also thanks to Lan Xiaolan who stood up that day and stopped him from lifting the fence on the construction site, otherwise the coffins here would have been damaged once the large machinery arrived.
If this is true, then he will really become the "historical sinner" that Lan Xiaolan mentioned.
"The location you mentioned yesterday is probably here, right?"
"Yes. If my guess is correct, the tomb is very likely right under your feet, Mr. Ren." Lan Xiaolan pointed to the ground.
"You go and draw the general scope, and I'll take care of the rest."
Ren Tingxi directed several people on site to bring in a large instrument. He skillfully assembled each instrument one by one and also connected the instrument to his computer.
"Tingxi, what is this?"
"Wavelength sensors, when wavelengths pass through different substances, will feedback different data. Solids, liquids, and gases will feedback different data."
"If you want to know if there's a tomb underneath, all you need to do is scan it and then compile the data into a three-dimensional spatial image. Then you can see exactly what the underground looks like."
As Ren Tingxi spoke, he operated the various complex systems on the computer.
"Will this not have any impact on the surrounding environment?"
"If there are living people underground, they might be exposed to a little radiation, but dead people won't."
Lan Xiaolan jumped up and clapped her hands in applause.
"With such a great machine, why didn't you use it right from the start? If you'd known this, you could have scanned all the areas you were going to work on and avoided damaging the ancient tombs underground."
"Idiot!" Ren Tingxi patted Lan Xiaolan's head lovingly, "Do you know how much it costs to scan with this machine?"
"If we were to scan the entire cross-river project, not only would the labor and raw material costs be high, it would probably take a year. Scanning is easy, but organizing the complex data into a 3D image is very difficult."
Lan Xiaolan touched her head and asked, "How long will it take to test this now?"
"As long as you listen to me, it will be fine soon."
Ren Tingxi's body moved slightly closer to her, and his breathing became a little rapid, as if he was trying to restrain something.
There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes that made her feel a little nervous.
She subconsciously wanted to dodge, her heartbeat began to accelerate, and her cheeks became hot.
"Is Big Bad Wolf always so frivolous when he talks about work?"
"Why are you not serious? What's going on in your little head all day long?" Ren Tingxi then handed the scanning equipment to Lan Xiaolan.
"The larger the area you scan, the more time and difficulty it will take me to organize the data. You know the environment here best, so it's most appropriate for you to assist me in the scanning."
Oh, so this is what Ren Tingxi was talking about.
Lan Xiaolan began to scan bit by bit from the place she found. Ren Tingxi looked at the data fed back by the computer and directed Lan Xiaolan on the scene.
If some places were not clear enough or the data was not accurate enough, Lan Xiaolan would rescan them bit by bit under Ren Tingxi's command. With the joint efforts of the two, the underground space structure map was soon sorted out.
"Come and take a look, little hedgehog."
"Okay, here I come." I don't know when it started, but Ren Tingxi even started to listen to his little hedgehog.
"There seem to be two cuboids here. Come and take a look."
"These two rectangles should be the owners of the ancient tomb." Suddenly, Professor Bai came between the two people and pointed at the computer screen.
Following Professor Bai were the provincial Party committee leaders who had come over a few days earlier. Twelve ancient coffins had been unearthed at the cross-river bridge construction site, a major event that worried the provincial Party committee leaders. So, early in the morning, they called Professor Bai and insisted he come over to take a look.
The provincial Party committee leaders have an unshirkable responsibility to protect historical relics, but they are also concerned about whether the tomb incident will affect the progress of the cross-river bridge project.
After all, this is related to the economic development of the city and cannot be delayed.
As soon as Professor Bai and the leader came over, they saw Ren Tingxi and Lan Xiaolan, working happily one after another.
He was so serious and dedicated in his work that he didn't even notice when the leaders came over.
"So, have you calculated the specific locations of the last two remaining coffins?" the leader walked over and asked.
"Yes, the specific location and depth are written here in great detail. As long as the institute's staff work according to this orientation, there will be no problems with the bridge's structure."
"That's fantastic! You young people are really resourceful and have done a great job. However, Professor Bai, how long will it take for the ancient tomb excavation to be concluded? Will continued excavation have any impact on the cross-river bridge project?"
"We can dig up the last two coffins today, but..." Professor Bai hesitated, "I'm afraid I can't confirm the identity of the tomb owner right away."
"What about you, Mr. Ren?" The leader looked at Ren Tingxi. After all, he was the one who knew the situation on the construction site best.
"So far, the structure of the bridge has not been seriously affected. However, the large ancient tomb complex here has occupied part of our site, which will indeed cause some obstacles to our construction."
"However, I can find a way to solve these difficulties, so please rest assured, leader."
After hearing Ren Tingxi's words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, the ancient tombs had been here for a long time, causing a lot of trouble for the construction of the cross-river bridge. Therefore, the most urgent thing to do now was to find out the identity of the tomb owner as soon as possible.
"Professor, I want to go to the library this afternoon, is that okay?" Lan Xiaolan seemed to have thought of something, but was still unsure. If you want to look up historical books, going to the library is a good choice.
"Do you have any weird ideas in your little head again?"
Lan Xiaolan smiled and said, "I always feel like something is missing, but I'm not quite sure."
"Okay, go there and come back quickly. I'll wait for your good news."
What truth is there that we don’t know yet?
