Chapter 213: Chapter 169: The Technique-Oriented Author, Professional Crime! (Five Thousand Words Chapter)_3

“The soil in the Qilu Region generally consists of brown soil, fluvo-aquic soil, black sandy soil with ginger, saline soil, something you should have studied in university,” Lin Chuan said.

Qin Sisi nodded earnestly.

Lin Chuan continued, “I won’t mention the smaller tombs, let’s mainly talk about the great tombs.”

“Okay.”

Qin Sisi borrowed some paper and a pen from a waiter and prepared to take notes.

Lin Chuan took a sip of tea and explained:

“The great tombs in the Qilu Region often exist in the form of underground palaces, and many of them were for dukes and high-rank officials. They are of high standards, imitation of the netherworld, and isolated from the ground surface. Hence, they often use wax to seal the tombs and conceal strong acidic liquids within the wax layer to prevent tomb robbers from desecrating the site. Here we need to consider two scenarios.”

“Which two scenarios?”

Qin Sisi stopped writing and asked.

“One is when the wax layer is damaged, the other when the wax layer is intact,” said Lin Chuan, “Let’s first discuss what happens after the wax layer is damaged: when the wax layer is broken, the strong acid leaks out and reacts with the soil, and here it gets connected to the soil quality…”

Lin Chuan spoke as if reciting an inventory.

Qin Sisi was writing furiously, afraid to miss a single point.

On the side, Shen Qianqian looked on with a perplexed face at the two of them.

A perfectly good meal turned into a classroom lecture.

One teaching, one listening.

Unfortunately, Shen Qianqian couldn’t quite understand what Lin Chuan was talking about, and even Qin Sisi understood only half of it, but she tried her best to write it all down, intending to slowly digest it later.

“That’s about it for the Qilu Region,” Lin Chuan said, taking another sip of tea.

His throat was starting to feel a bit fiery.

Looking at the notes that filled several pages, Qin Sisi felt a sense of fulfillment and nodded with a smile: “Thank you, Teacher Lin.”

At that moment.

Shen Qianqian leaned in closer to Qin Sisi and said with a laugh, “I’ll tell you, there’s another way to learn Comrade Lin Chuan’s archaeological techniques.”

“What way?” Qin Sisi was startled.

“Read Comrade Lin Chuan’s novels,” Shen Qianqian chuckled, “He also has a nickname, the technical flow author, specializing in crime, and some readers have learned lock-picking and cheating techniques from his books.”

Qin Sisi was taken aback again, looking at Lin Chuan in surprise.

Lin Chuan chuckled dryly, somewhat embarrassed.

Shen Qianqian whispered into Qin Sisi’s ear, laughing, “That’s why I caught him twice.”

Qin Sisi’s eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, her face showing a surprised look.

“Ahem, the dishes are going to get cold if we don’t eat them now.”

Lin Chuan laughed again awkwardly.

…

In the days that followed.

Lin Chuan was frequently running back and forth between the antique shop, the Network Security Company, the Cultural Relics Protection and Archaeological Research Institute, and the Han Dynasty Grand Tomb.

Finally, on July 1st.

Outside Anling City, the tomb discovered near a construction site was completely excavated and presented before the public.

After Lin Chuan’s verification.

It was a grand tomb of a certain prefect from the Western Han Dynasty, an extremely important material for research into the history of Anling and even the broader Han River history.

In the archaeological circles of the Han River, it caused an immense sensation.
