Chapter 792: Difficulty
The second channel is curved, and it is not easy to operate in practice!
And the longest passage might be the easiest to dig...
However, the time and manpower required for excavation will also increase a lot!
There is no location of the gate marked on the map, but Li Jinxing's heirloom is clearly the key to open the gate. Perhaps they can only find the gate when they dig to the center, and then use the key disguised as a jewelry box to open it!
Thinking of this, Nie Yao turned around and went to the other side of the archaeological base to look at the scaled-down model of the Valley of the Kings and the Temple of the Queen on the table.
On this side of the Valley of the Kings, there are currently over sixty excavated imperial tombs. Work would have to be halted if there were excessive sandstorms. The Queen's Temple, built against the mountain, is already damaged in some places. Excavating from the Temple of Amun behind it would also be quite difficult...
Nie Yao frowned slightly and fell into a long period of contemplation. He didn't even notice someone pushed open the door of the archaeological base and walked in.
"Where's Professor Fred?" a woman's voice came from behind.
Nie Yao thought it was some archaeologist who wanted to see her adoptive father. Her eyes remained fixed on the model in front of her, and she replied without turning her head, "He's gone out for something. You can come back later!"
After Nie Yao finished speaking, the woman did not leave. Instead, she snorted coldly and walked directly to Nie Yao. She looked her up and down. Seeing that she did not have a work badge on her chest, she asked unhappily, "You are not a staff member here, why did you come in here?"
Nie Yao then raised her eyes to look at her, and saw that the person coming was a blonde woman, very tall, with curly hair casually tied up, a few freckles on the tip of her nose, and she was dressed simply, a white shirt and jeans, which made her legs look even longer!
The woman looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her.
Seeing Nie Yao looking at her, the woman raised an eyebrow in displeasure and said bluntly, "I'm asking you a question. You're not a researcher here. How could you come in here and stay in this archaeological base alone?"
Nie Yao wasn't annoyed. She smiled faintly and explained, "I came in with the permission of Professor Fred, whom you mentioned. If you have any questions, you can ask him, or ask the guard at the research center why they let me in."
Seeing Nie Yao's frank answer, the woman was speechless for a moment, and could only say angrily: "Who knows what the guards are thinking, letting in strangers? I wonder if they've strengthened the security recently?"
Hearing the woman call herself an outsider, Nie Yao frowned slightly and retorted calmly, "I'm not an outsider. I came here to study the ancient Egyptian artifacts. But you..."
She paused, then noticed the blonde woman wasn't wearing a badge either. She asked jokingly, "You don't have your work badge either. Can I also say you're a stranger?"
The blonde woman glared at Nie Yao angrily, then immediately pulled out her work badge from her coat pocket and pinned it on. Pointing at her badge, she raised her chin and said unhappily, "Open your eyes and see clearly who I am!"
Nie Yao looked up and saw the words on the badge clearly - Vanessa Campbell, PhD in Egyptology from Oxford University.
She just glanced at it and then looked away.
