The construction of the four modernizations is in full swing.A mighty construction army marched into Xiling Gorge.They want to build the magnificent Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project on the Yangtze River, which is rare in the world. The arrival of this group of heroic and skilled builders broke the tranquil atmosphere of the Three Gorges since ancient times.People drilled rocks and fired cannons, opened mountains to take rocks, built dams to block rivers, stored water to make lakes, and there were vigorous construction scenes everywhere.Here, the deep roar of blowers, the sharp whistling of wind chisels, the panting sound of bulldozers when they increase the accelerator, and the uniform roar of trucks are mixed with the deafening blasting sound from the foot of the mountain, forming a A huge wave of sound spread along the Xiling Canyon, dozens of miles away...

A few years later, the 200-meter-high Three Gorges Dam closed, and people were immersed in a joyous atmosphere. One day, Yang Jixian, a young diver from the Dam Branch of the Three Gorges Project Bureau, walked along the dam, passing through the busy crowd, dodging trucks one after another, and walked towards the construction site of the Excavation Branch on the north side of the dam. He is only twenty-three years old this year, but he is already a skilled diver in the South China Shipwreck Rescue and Salvage Company.When he learned that a group of divers were needed to participate in the construction of the dam, he took the initiative to sign up and became a builder of the Three Gorges Project.He loves his job and loves this magnificent cause even more.In addition to diving operations, he is also a space travel enthusiast.At this moment, he came to the construction site to find Zhang Jie, the bulldozer operator of the excavation sub-bureau whom he met here, and asked him to watch a movie about space navigation.

On the construction site, construction is going on intensely.Trucks loaded with all kinds of construction equipment drove straight to the construction site one after another.More than a dozen apricot bulldozers are doing the final leveling work here.At the foot of the mountain behind the construction site, there is a row of large-character placards: "Unite, build a modern, highly democratic and highly civilized socialist power!" Towering at both ends of the site. Yang Jixian stepped on the golden land slanted by the setting sun, and walked quickly towards the bulldozer.The warm spring breeze, carrying the fragrance of soil and weeds, blows his sturdy body and his sun-tanned face.He took a deep breath of the fresh, fragrant air, feeling extremely relieved.With his big eyes hidden under his thick eyebrows, he keenly searched among the bulldozers, and soon found the bulldozer driven by Zhang Jie.He ran and jumped forward, waving his hands and calling out loudly:

"Zhang Jie, stop! Zhang Jie!" The bulldozer stopped.At this time, Yang Jixian had already arrived at the bulldozer. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said to Zhang Jie: "Tonight we will screen "Flying Out of the Solar System" at the construction site, let's watch it together!" Zhang Jie is also an aerospace fan, so of course this film is a must-see.He checked his watch: "There are still ten minutes to get off work. You come up and sit for a while, and I will push it again." "Okay." Yang Jixian was about to lift his feet to get on the track when he suddenly found a strip of off-white soil about a foot wide, mixed with the yellow and black clay everywhere, where it was close to the track of the bulldozer. Very uncoordinated.He said in surprise:

"Hey, what is this?" Zhang Jie jumped out of the car, looked at the gray-white soil beside the track, and walked back along it, Yang Jixian followed.Behind the bulldozer, they saw a piece of off-white soil more than one meter long and about as wide as the bulldozer.The narrow strip just now is just a small part exposed outside the track of the bulldozer. Zhang Jie bent down and picked it with his hands, but he didn't move.Yang Jixian seemed to have remembered something, and asked: "Do you think this looks like blue plaster? I remember that the ancient tombs found on the dam site the year before last were covered with blue plaster like this."

"No. Come on, let's push it again!" The two of them got on the bulldozer and pushed it back and forth. The gray-white soil expanded into a large area about three meters wide and six to seven meters long. Seeing this situation, Yang Jixian was very excited.He jumped off the tractor and shouted loudly towards the bulldozers that had just finished work: "I found the ancient tomb, we found the ancient tomb!" The sound flew over the bulldozers, over the construction site, and caused a lingering echo among the tender green mountains surrounding the construction site:

"I found an ancient tomb..." Bulldozer drivers came, truck drivers and stevedores came, construction workers came, and more than 100 people on the construction site surrounded them.Everyone discussed: some said that we should send a telegram to the provincial archaeological research institute; some said that we should call and ask the Xiakou District Museum to send someone; Zhang Jie and Yang Jixian discussed: "Deputy Commander Zhao of the Engineering Bureau said that we should pay attention to the protection of underground cultural relics. I think we should report to him."

Yang Jixian thought the idea was good, so he got into a truck with him and went straight to the headquarters of the Three Gorges Project Bureau.
