After Qin Shihuang Lived for A Long Time, All Human Beings Were Looking for Me Madly

Chapter 029 The ruins of the Qin Dynasty were discovered, the joke is big!

The old professor hurriedly picked up the phone and called Han Shuang, who had just been taken to the airport by Yunke at that time.

It was summer vacation, and Han Shuang was going to take a plane to Shaanxi and Gansu.

Her father used the banknote ability to find her an internship in an archaeological team. She believes that archaeology is doing what she loves.

"Hello, Professor Zhao?" Han Shuang was a little surprised. He didn't expect such a busy teacher to call him.

"Han Shuang, are there anyone else near you now? The matter I asked is more important and needs to be kept strictly confidential."

Lao Zhao on the other end of the phone said in a low voice, for fear that someone around Han Shuang could hear his voice.

"I'm at the airport now, and there will be no one around."

Han Shuang also got up and looked around seriously. The airport in the small town of Su Tian is not large, so there are not many people here.

Do archaeology, sometimes to protect cultural relics, or unexcavated tombs. Many things must be kept secret, Han Shuang knows this.

"Where did the photo of your bronze geese come from? Tell me in detail." Professor Zhao asked with confidence.

Originally thought that the other party would ask about the peculiarly textured bronze cauldron, but I didn't expect it to be this little bronze geese.

Han Shuang told Professor Zhao truthfully about Su Tian's situation and what Su Tian said.

Then he added, "Professor Zhao, although I don't know about Hongyan, the two artifacts are definitely modern imitations, and they are very new, probably not more than 20 years old."

What Han Shuang didn't expect was how this modern imitation reached a level that needed to be kept secret.

As if reading her doubts from Han Shuang's tone, Professor Zhao hesitated for a few seconds before making up his mind:

"Since you are Lao Han's granddaughter, I believe you will not leak the secret, so I will tell you the truth. This bronze geese is related to a Qin Dynasty relic."

"Relics of the Qin Dynasty?" Han Shuang suddenly became interested.

Archaeology, isn't it to unearth previously unknown history?

But the ruins are different from the ancient tombs, which are buildings that the ancients sealed and completed underground.

Various designs were built specifically for the long-term preservation of the tomb.

But there are very few relics, and people at that time did not build ground buildings for permanent preservation.

In addition, the Qin Dynasty was mostly made of wood and rammed earth. After more than 2,000 years of weathering, few valuable sites have been found.

Even the most famous Qin Great Wall ruins are nothing more than remnants of an earthen wall.

"Yes, this matter has not been announced to the public, mainly because it is rather unbelievable. Once confirmed, it may overturn the history we know before."

"The ruins of the Qin Dynasty were built at the foot of the mountain near the earthquake fault zone. A certain earthquake activity completely buried it, which made it relatively intact."

"It was also recently repeatedly identified by carbon fourteen, and it was finally determined that it was around 200 BC."

Speaking of which, I took advantage of Professor Zhao's breath.

Han Shuang asked his own question: "Professor Zhao, isn't it completely buried? Can't you tell the difference when you excavate the leftovers, and you still need repeated identification of carbon 14 to be finally determined?"

She understood, the focus was on the word 'repeated identification'.

What kind of things make archaeologists need so much trouble? Do you have to find out what's going on?

This logic does not make sense, so there is this question.

Knowing that the top student of Qinghua would have such a question, Professor Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "That's because... in the process of sorting out the ruins, we discovered something extraordinary."

Impressive?

Han Shuang was stunned for a moment, what is it that needs to be kept secret, and is said by this professor to be unacceptable?

"Can you believe it? In the Qin Dynasty 2,200 years ago, traditional Chinese characters were already used?"

ah? Han Shuang's mind couldn't react.

Her heart was like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past...

Qin Dynasty... Isn't his mother's way of using Xiaozhuan? Wasn't the official script only used in the Han Dynasty? From Xiaozhuan to regular script, there is a difference of at least 500 years!

Block and traditional characters, this... Are you sure it's serious?

She finally understood why, after discovering the ruins, it was necessary to repeatedly identify it before she could decide that it was the Qin Dynasty.

Well, in this way, secrecy is also appropriate. For archaeologists, this discovery is really subversive.

"It's not over yet..."

Professor Zhao seemed to give Han Shuang a reaction time, and then continued.

After all, it takes time for anyone to recover from something so subversive.

"This Qin Dynasty relic is an iron smelting workshop." Professor Zhao continued.

However, Han Shuang was not too surprised. In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, there were already iron tools, and it was normal to have iron smelting workshops.

But Professor Zhao's next words caused her little heart to continue to suffer hundreds of thousands of critical damage.

And Lao Zhao's words gradually became excited, as if this matter could only be encountered in a dream!

"Do you know how they make iron?"

"Qin Dynasty! 2,200 years ago! They used blast furnace ironmaking and coal as fuel! The monthly output is close to the level of the mid-20th century!"

Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that blast furnace ironmaking uses coal as fuel, a process that only appeared in Europe in the 16th century.

At that time, the trees in Europe were almost cut down, and coal was used as a last resort.

How could the Qin Dynasty dig coal?

"Not only that, they used iron to cast tools and weapons such as stirrups, horseshoes, and ring-head knives. These are definitely not from the Qin Dynasty in the past recognized history!"

Listening to Professor Zhao's excited words, Han Shuang also felt that her breathing was much faster.

No matter which one of them is, it is something that has already been confirmed in the archaeological world, and now it has been completely overthrown?

It's so shocking, no wonder it belongs to the national security level, once it is announced, it is simply subverting history...

"It's not over yet..." Professor Zhao continued.

"We... unexpectedly found a family letter in a cowhide bag." Professor Zhao said here, and took a deep breath several times in excitement.

Han Shuang's curiosity was completely raised, and she heard Professor Zhao say:

"You know that letter from home... that letter from home was actually written on white paper!"

Boom... Han Shuang felt that her three views were broken!

Did something go wrong? Qin Dynasty! How is it possible to write a letter on paper? What are you kidding?

"The content of the letter... is it restored?" Han Shuang asked tentatively.

Don't underestimate a letter, this is the most incredible thing, the amount of information in a letter written on paper is definitely much larger than that of a bamboo slip.

"Of course it is restored. I will tell you the general meaning of the letter. According to the content, this letter should be written by a family member to a certain craftsman in this site."

"The translation is roughly: Since the 38th year of Qin Shihuang, the family has started to use the seedling method to grow rice, and the farmer is very good!"

"And this year's tax has also been reduced by nearly half, so he doesn't have to send money to his family in the past two months, and he eats better here..."

After listening to Professor Zhao's words, Han Shuang couldn't count how many breaths she gasped.

Seedling method to grow rice? Are you kidding me?

The Qin Dynasty actually gave the people tax reduction or exemption? Lying in a groove.

Han Shuang not only felt that his three views were broken... he even felt that his facial features were almost distorted in shock...

"Eh? Wait! Professor Zhao!"

Han Shuang suddenly felt that something was wrong!

Holy crap, is this a big joke?

"You said the letter was written in the thirty-eighth year of Qin Shihuang? Are you sure?"

She suddenly had the urge to think dirty words!

Didn't Qin Shihuang die in the Xingtai Dunes in 37 years?
