Chapter 4 Chapter 3 The King of Tomb Robbers

Hawthorne and Professor Lu Li met a few years ago. At that time, they were digging with a small shovel in a field of green wheat seedlings. A local child asked, what are you looking for? The answer the child got was: We are looking for a country! There was a country called "Yelang" in Chinese history, from which the idiom "Yelang is arrogant" came from. Professor Lu Li invited international experts and scholars to conduct an investigation. Huo Sang was the leader of the expert team at that time. With the joint efforts of both parties, The "Yelang" cultural site was confirmed for the first time.

When Hawthorne got off the plane, he saw a military off-road vehicle. Professor Lu Li stepped out of the vehicle, and two old men with graying temples held hands together. Professor Lu Li: "Mr. Hawthorne..." Hawthorne: "What did you call me?" Professor Lu Li was slightly taken aback, then changed his tune and said, "Captain!" Hawthorne laughed and introduced Dora to Professor Lu Li. Dora said, "Uncle Lu, your driver is so strong!" A man wearing sunglasses and a camouflage uniform with no military rank on his shoulders picked up two luggage bags in one hand and two heavy aluminum alloy lockboxes in the other hand and put them on the car.Professor Lu Li said: "Linfeng, the instructor of the Chinese special forces, will serve as the guard of our archaeological team at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor."

Linfeng smiled, showing his white teeth, he took the initiative to say hello to Hawthorne, and shook hands with Dora.Dora felt her little hand being held by a powerful big hand, she frowned, and quickly retracted her hand. Hawthorne: "Professor Lu, those two boxes are my presents to you." Professor Lu Li: "What is it?" Hawthorne: "Two boxes of dirt!" Professor Lu Li: "It looks very precious." Hawthorne: "That's soil samples from more than 80 countries, and I collected them for many years." The off-road vehicle drove away, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang was getting closer and closer. It was a mountain formed by sealing soil. Every year, it became shorter. The four people in the car all looked at the mountain and remained silent.The car entered the military restricted zone, passed the triple guard post, and stopped in front of the museum at the foot of Qinshihuang's Mausoleum. The ground command center of the archaeological team is located here, and more than a dozen top scientists, historians, civil engineers, and cultural relic restoration experts are waiting in line.At a brief welcoming ceremony, Professor Lu Li showed Hawthorne the high-tech equipment for the archaeology.

Professor Lu Li took out something in the shape of a watch. It was a cubic computer that could be worn on the wrist. Then, Professor Lu Li opened a small delicate box, picked up a remote control device, and a golden robotic bee flew out of the box, flew out of the window, flew in through the door, circled a few times, and fell into the box.This robot bee carries a dangerous gas detector and a wireless camera. It will detect the situation in the tomb and display the image on the cube computer screen. Archaeologists will enter after confirming that there is no danger. Professor Lu Li took out another pair of shoes. The soles of these shoes are actually T-shaped probes, which can detect soil, water, and rock data, and then transmit them to the computer for analysis.

Next, Professor Lu Li showed a beacon light, which also has the function of light measurement, and a rope called "Tie Xiansuo", which is equipped with a "back" buckle, a catapult and a piton.In the waterproof bag are the necessary equipment for archaeology: jack, crowbar, flat shovel, brush, compass, dagger, pen and paper, plastic bag. Finally, Professor Lu Li highlighted the chemical protective clothing of the archaeological team, a set of white clothes placed in a sterile glass cover.Professor Lu Li said that there are wireless communication and oxygen supply devices in the airtight helmet. There are three layers of clothes, and the underwear layer is light and soft. It is equipped with a belt with a physiological monitoring system, which can measure physiological conditions such as heart rate and body temperature. The thin polyvinyl chloride tube is adjusted and controlled by the life support system on the backpack; the middle is a sealed confinement layer, an adult needs to inhale 750 grams of oxygen per day, and the confinement layer can provide 2,500 grams of compressed oxygen, enough to make archaeologists Stay in a place without oxygen for three days; the outer layer is made of a synthetic fiber called "Teflon", which is waterproof, heat-insulating, and radiation-resistant.

Professor Lu Li said: "Historical Records records that the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor 'uses mercury as the basis for all rivers, rivers and seas', and we have also detected the phenomenon of 'mercury anomaly'. This chemical protective suit can guarantee our safety." Dora said: "I believe that wearing this dress, you can sleep in the sea under the Arctic ice." Hawthorne asked, "How many pieces of this chemical protective suit are there?" Professor Lu Li replied, "Seven pieces!" Hawthorne said: "This also means that our team is seven people, and the rest can only stay in the command center on the ground."

Professor Lu Li said, "You are the captain, it's up to you to choose." Hawthorne's eyes swept across the crowd, everyone was eager to try, for these top experts in various fields, entering Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum was a dream.The female team doctor put on the medical first aid kit, the videographer, Master Ju, put on the professional camera equipment, and Linfeng also put his backpack in front of him. Everyone consciously lined up and waited for the selection. No one spoke. Nervous and excited. Hawthorne looked at Professor Lu Li and said, "You are 50 years old, if I don't let you enter Qinshihuang Mausoleum, will you hate me?"

Professor Lu Li said: "Teacher, I will, because you seem to have forgotten your age, and you just passed your 70th birthday." Hawthorne nodded in agreement, and then he patted the shoulder of the female team doctor and videographer, Master Ju. The female team doctor and Master Ju cheered happily. The video data during the archaeological process are extremely precious. essential. Hawthorne walked up to Linfeng, and took out a pack of things from his backpack: "Directional blasting explosives, it is said that this kind of explosives can explode into a regular circle?" Lin Feng was expressionless.

Hawthorne took down the gun on Linfeng's shoulder again, "Did you modify this gun yourself? M16 assault rifle stock, Galilee drum, L85A1 barrel, it looks a bit ugly, but it is compatible with several famous guns in the world. advantage." Linfeng replied: "Yes." Hawthorne shook his head, and threw the gun and the explosive pack into the trash basket in the corner, "We are going to archaeology, not to rob a bank. I would rather not enter Qinshihuang's Mausoleum than see any damage to this great tomb. No What else can you do without a weapon, it seems that I should consider whether the archaeological team needs a guard, unless you are willing to show your hand."

Lin Feng said yes, he looked around slowly, and suddenly took a step forward, raised his left hand slightly, and quickly punched the air with his right hand, this punch was as fast as lightning. Dora laughed, "Grandpa, is he beating the air?" Lin Feng bent down and picked up a fly from the ground. Hawthorne felt unbelievable that this man could kill a fly flying in the air with one punch. Linfeng asked: "Do you have any questions, Captain." Hawthorne patted him on the shoulder, "Instructor of the Chinese Special Forces, well-deserved reputation, count you in."

Dora began to worry, and whispered, "Grandpa, and me." Hawthorne said to everyone: "This is Dora, a layman. She knows nothing about cultural relics, and she doesn't know anything about archaeology. I plan to let her participate. I hope you don't have any opinions." There was a lot of discussion, and many people began to mutter in low voices. Professor Lu Li said eagerly, "Teacher, no, captain, think again. Dora doesn't know anything, so it's not appropriate for her to participate." Hawthorne raised his voice and said: "Guys, there are few visitors to the museum. People are less and less concerned about those distant things. They prefer to go to bars and dance parties. For archaeology, what else can compare What makes us even more gratified is a child holding the grandfather's hand to visit the museum, because she doesn't know, so we want her to know that she represents the majority, and we have no reason to reject the majority." Professor Lu Li hesitated for a while, "Okay, I have no objection." Hawthorne said, "One more." At this moment, the alarm sounded in the restricted area of ​​the military, and the officers and soldiers made a mess. Lin Feng went outside and asked the sentry what was going on. The sentry replied that a man parachuted just now and was captured by the patrol. The alarm was sounded. Professor Lu Li said to Hawthorne, "Come on, let's go take a look." In the interrogation room, an officer is interrogating the man. Officer: "Who are you? Where are you from?" That person: "Heaven." Officer: "What are you doing here, this is a military restricted zone." The man: "Actually, I came to rob the tomb." Officer: "Very well, to be frank, what's your name?" The man: "My name is Hansen, last year I was Sergey, and three years ago I was Philjak." Professor Lu Li and Hawthorne walked into the interrogation room just at this moment. Hawthorne looked at the man and smiled slightly and said, "Do you know Geese? Grave robber Geese?" The man replied: "Gith? I haven't heard this name for a long time, but he is famous, no one knows." Hawthorne told the officer, "I recommend that this guy be deported immediately." The man hurriedly said, "Okay, I'm Keith, and I haven't been called by this name for several years." Hawthorne said, "Congratulations on finding yourself." The grave robber Gies laughed, "Old man, we haven't seen each other for three years, I've had plastic surgery, but you still recognize me." Hawthorne said: "Even if you become a woman, I can recognize you." The officer said, "Why are you skydiving?" Gies said: "I wanted to join the archaeological team of Qinshihuang's Mausoleum, but the guards at the gate wouldn't let me in, so I found a shortcut." Professor Lu Li said, "We didn't invite you." Guice said: "So I will make a formal self-recommendation to you. Guice, an Italian, an international tomb expert, is worth an archaeological team alone. It is unnecessary to brag about his brilliant experience, but besides myself, there are others Who can steal the underwater mausoleum of Cleopatra, the tomb of King Alexander, and the tomb of the Sun in Babylon alone? I have been in prison, but the national treasures I donated and the coins I scattered to beggars are enough to offset the mistakes I made..." Professor Lu Li glanced at Hawthorne, and walked outside the interrogation room together. Hawthorne whispered to Lu Li, "I've known Geese for many years, he is indeed a rare talent, sometimes, he is crazy." Lu Li: "We don't need a lunatic. Geese is a lunatic and has a bad reputation. No one in the archaeological community knows him." Hawthorne: "Even if he is a mad dog, we need his keen sense of smell. Who among the experts invited this time can steal the underwater tomb of Cleopatra, as well as the tomb of King Alexander and the tomb of the Sun in Babylon, you and I , can't do it." Lu Li: "But how to ensure that this grave robber doesn't steal anything?" Hawthorne: "He listened to me." Lu Li: "He listened to you?" Hawthorne: "I saved his life, and you can let Linfeng watch over him." Professor Lu Li thought for a long time and said, "You are the captain, you decide." Geese guessed that Hawthorne and Professor Lu Li were whispering outside the door, so he deliberately said loudly: "Let me join, after I come up from the underground palace, I can be examined naked, and let you feed me laxatives, so even if I swallow The next ring will also be pulled out, and X-ray perspective, if it doesn’t work, just dissect me, I won’t steal anything, I just want to see what Qin Shihuang looks like, look at this man who started building himself at the age of 13 What does the child of the grave look like now..." Hawthorne walked into the interrogation room, looked at Jisi and said, "Welcome the tomb robber Jisi to join the Qinshihuang Mausoleum archaeological team." Gith let out a long breath and said, "When will we enter Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum?" Hawthorne said, "Now!"
