The live broadcast of the rescue excavation of Zhaoling Mausoleum kicked off as scheduled. This feast combines historical and modern elements.
Before the live broadcast even started, a pre-heating frenzy had already been set off on major media platforms.
Countless netizens are waiting for the live broadcast to begin with curiosity and anticipation.
The moment the live broadcast started, the sun shone and the sky was blue.
The camera lens moves slowly, first showing the solemn and mysterious stone gate of Zhaoling Mausoleum to the audience.
The mottled marks on the stone gate seem to be telling a long and vicissitudes of history.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the live broadcast of the rescue excavation of Zhaoling Mausoleum!" The host's enthusiastic voice sounded.
"Today, we will witness the reappearance of true history from a thousand years ago and experience the charm of the cultural heritage of the Tang Empire..."
As the host continued to explain, the archaeological experts on site were discussing how to open the tightly closed tomb door.
"It's amazing that this stone gate has been preserved so well after thousands of years."
An archaeologist stroked the stone gate, his eyes flashing with awe and excitement.
As the experts discussed further, they decided to take the safest approach.
First, use professional detection equipment to conduct a detailed detection of the inside of the tomb door to ensure that no damage will be caused to the cultural relics during the opening process.
The camera closely tracks every move of the archaeological experts, recording their extremely rigorous work attitude and meticulous operating techniques throughout the process.
The detection instrument moved back and forth on the tomb door, and data and images kept jumping on the screen, and every jump pulled at the audience's heartstrings.
But soon, the live broadcast suddenly fell into darkness, as if the signal was instantly cut off by some mysterious force.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were immediately in an uproar.
"Hey, hey, hey! Did you see that? That silhouette just now looked like a technological artifact!"
"How come I didn't see it?" another netizen replied, "That's not just a technological artifact, it's clearly a steam engine!"
"Hurry! Do you have any screenshots? Share them quickly so everyone can see them!" everyone urged.
In fact, the live broadcast was cut off urgently.
Because the staff in the monitoring room also noticed the unusual outline.
They recognized it at a glance; it was clearly a steam engine.
This astonishing discovery made the person in charge make a decision without hesitation:
Immediately cut off the live broadcast signal and quickly report this abnormal situation to the higher authorities.
At the same time, the atmosphere at the archaeological site became tense.
The experts gathered together and discussed this sudden situation in a low voice.
The confident expressions on their faces were now replaced by solemnity.
Everyone realized that this excavation might reveal a secret far beyond their imagination.
Time passed by minute by minute. In less than a minute, the superior's order was quickly conveyed to the scene: "Continue!"
It is obvious that they had some foresight about the steam engine that might be hidden in Zhaoling, and were willing to make this major discovery public.
After receiving the order, the live broadcast signal was quickly restored.
"According to the detection results, the internal structure of the tomb door is stable and we can try to open it." The archaeological team leader who had made preparations in advance immediately announced solemnly.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room reached its peak.
The audience was raptly waiting for this historic moment to come.
As the archaeological experts operated carefully, the stone door slowly opened, revealing its long-sealed interior.
Inside the stone gate, it was dark, with only a few strong lights illuminating the limited space.
However, even in this dim environment, a huge black shadow can be vaguely seen.
It rests quietly in a corner of the tomb, as if waiting for people to explore it in silence.
Archaeologists walked in one after another, and the beams of flashlights shuttled through the tomb chamber to explore, and finally fell on the eye-catching shadow.
The beam of light gradually focused, and the true appearance of the shadow slowly emerged - a steam engine that was almost identical to the modern model.
Despite thousands of years of wind and frost, this steam engine still stubbornly maintains its intact shape.
Although the metal shell is covered with rust, it cannot hide the exquisiteness of its precise gears and mechanical structure, as if telling the ingenuity of ancient craftsmen.
It was like a technological behemoth from ancient times, traveling through the tunnel of time and space and appearing before everyone's eyes.
The audience in the live broadcast room witnessed this scene and exclaimed in amazement.
They could not imagine that people in the Tang Empire a thousand years ago had already mastered such advanced technology.
"This is simply a miracle!" an archaeologist said excitedly.
"It seems that as early as a thousand years ago during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, China had already mastered steam engine technology!"
In fact, the impact of the steam engine on netizens was far less than expected.
After all, even steamships from thousands of years ago were salvaged from Southeast Asia, so it makes sense that steam engines already existed during the Zhenguan period!
But... when the live camera turned to a stone tablet erected next to the steam engine, netizens suddenly lost their composure.
The origin of this steam engine was clearly engraved in simplified Chinese characters on the stone tablet:
"On the second day of September in the sixth year of the Zhenguan reign, Princess Li Mingda of the Tang Dynasty personally visited a craftsman's workshop and forged a steam engine with her bare hands."
"After seven days of unremitting efforts, we finally achieved success on September 9th!"
"During this period, Empress Zhangsun's noble virtues were undeniable. She never left the princess' side, assisting her and helping her through difficult times. The scene was truly worthy of praise."
"The princess is gifted with extraordinary talent, wisdom, and ingenuity. With her delicate hands, she has created a world-class technological wonder. She is truly a treasure of the Tang Dynasty and a glory that will shine throughout the world."
"The sudden emergence of the steam engine not only demonstrates the princess's extraordinary talent, but also heralds the flourishing science and technology of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperity of the nation."
"The achievements of our Tang Dynasty Protector Princess will be recorded in history forever and will be remembered for generations to come!"
Netizens stared at this text, their shock evident in words, and heated discussions arose:
"This, this, this... How is this possible? In September of the sixth year of the Zhenguan reign, Li Mingda seemed to be a child under two years old. How could he have built a steam engine?"
“Yeah, this is unbelievable.
I guess this Li Mingda may not refer to the young princess.
Maybe she's another daughter of Li Yuan, or a sister of Li Shimin."
"But, this stone tablet clearly says it was 'forged'!
This isn't something anyone can do. Don't tell me there are level eight workers in the Tang Dynasty!"
"How is that impossible? The skill of ancient craftsmen was not low! It would be reasonable if someone could reach the level of 'Level 8 Craftsman', right?"
"That's true, but there weren't machine tools in ancient times. Even if there were 'Level 8 workers', they couldn't have built a steam engine with their bare hands, right?"
