Chapter 8 Start! (Seeking a follow-up reading

The next day, the morning light was slightly bright.

Early in the morning, the crow of cocks broke the tranquility and harmony of Lajia Village.

Chen Han woke up from his sleep, drowsily picked up the mobile phone on the bedside, and glanced at the time.

Half past seven in the morning.

He propped himself up, reached out and rubbed his face vigorously a few times. After relieving his sleepiness, he shouted energetically: "Brothers, it's time to get up and go to the construction site!!"

Murmurs and groans sounded in the small dormitory.

The other three senior brothers who lived in the same room as Chen Han all climbed out of bed sleepily.

Today is their first day of work, and everyone is still very energetic.

After waking up for a while, the four of them went downstairs together and headed to the makeshift breakfast tent downstairs.

Although there are many inconveniences and troubles in doing archeology, there are actually many benefits.

For example, they don't have to worry about three meals a day. The institute has special funds to take care of it, and it's basically full board and lodging.

The free breakfast tastes delicious.

Chen Han responded to the greetings of other researchers in the team while looking at the breakfast served in the institute.

If you want to have enough strength and energy to explore in the morning, you must have a full breakfast.

Therefore, the staff responsible for logistics work prepare high-carbohydrate and high-calorie breakfasts.

Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, flower rolls, hot dogs, breakfast cakes, tea eggs...

Soy milk, spicy soup, milk, coffee...

Well, it’s very much a combination of Chinese and Western.

To be able to prepare such a table of breakfast in a small inland and remote city like Lajiacun, it can be seen that it is not easy for the logistics staff.

Although the workload of archaeologists is certainly not as large as that of serious construction site workers, they do delicate work that is both mentally and physically demanding and requires a lot of energy.

Chen Han loaded up five large meat buns worth one tael, and after making a large bowl of soy milk, he did not eat directly, but began to patrol the yard with his eyes.

Soon, he found Su Sa and Zhang Jianbo squatting at the threshold of the yard with breakfast in their arms.

Chen Han quickly grabbed Zhuang Yunpeng, who had also just made breakfast, and quickly walked towards the two of them.

"Brother and sister, it's the first day of work today. Let's go to the site to familiarize ourselves with the situation!"

“I can’t wait to participate in the excavation of the Lajia ruins!”

Facing Chen Han's impatient look, Zhang Jianbo, who was not yet thirty this year but had already started to recede in his hairline, shook his head in a funny way.

Looking back on the past, when I first started working, I seemed to love working on the construction site just like my junior brother.

He didn't want to dampen Chen Han's enthusiasm. He smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go upstairs and get the equipment and set off. We'll have breakfast on the way."

He also had a vigorous and resolute character, and he stood up and went upstairs with a flower scroll in his mouth.

Chen Han turned his head and looked at Su Sa eagerly. Facing his expectant eyes, Su Sa really couldn't say no.

"Okay." Su Sa sighed helplessly. She couldn't afford the last little leisure time before going to work.

The four of them hurriedly went upstairs to organize their equipment.

Ten minutes later, they were ready to go back to the yard to gather.

A cloth sun hat with ear protection, a large mask, and a tool box, along with the three-piece archaeological standard set, and at Chen Han's urging, they rushed towards the No. 1 construction site.

...

Even though it is divided into Shangla and Xiala, Lajia Village, a small village in the inland west, is not that big.

After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Han and his party of four arrived at construction site No. 1.

After taking out their identity documents, they passed the security verification and entered the F4 room assigned to them.

Looking up at the protective shelter that had been erected with plastic sheds, Zhang Jianbo nodded with satisfaction: "My colleagues from the Qinghai Institute are still moving very quickly."

"The address of Room F4 is a standard square meter of 5 meters by 5 meters, so it's quite busy."

"Then let's start construction. I don't know what kind of surprises the F4 address can bring us!"

Chen Han looked at Tanfang, which had sunk by more than one meter and was still muddy, with excitement and excitement in his eyes.

He likes archeology so much, and he likes this sense of accomplishment of finding the dusty history of mankind from the soil!

Otherwise, how could he have resolutely applied for the Department of Archeology of Peking University despite the opposition of his family, and graduated with the first place in the professional course!

Even without this sudden appearance of the system, he would still resolutely devote himself to the field of archeology, digging out a glorious treasure one after another!

Chen Han held a square-head shovel in his left hand and a brush in his right hand. He jumped into the exploration room and started cleaning up the F4 room with full fighting spirit.

Zhang Jianbo, Su Sa, and Zhuang Yunpeng smiled at each other, picked up their tools, went down to explore, and started the first day of work.

However, they all focused part of their attention on Chen Han and were ready to provide guidance and correction for Chen Han at any time.

After all, he is a newcomer who just graduated from college this year.

Even though the Department of Archeology has been interning at the excavation base for three to five months every year since the third year of college, the kind of archaeological base that specifically provides internships to students, in terms of online games, is for novices who can only practice their skills.

As for the large-scale prehistoric civilization site like Lajia Ruins, it must be an elite monster. Even during the excavation process, it is normal for various situations that have never been mentioned in textbooks to appear.

The three senior brothers and sisters must keep an eye on Chen Han to prevent him from missing or overlooking any important findings.

However, after observing Chen Han for a while, the three of them discovered that Chen Han's excavation work was very meticulous!

Moreover, my hands are very familiar, and I don’t feel the greenness of a recent graduate at all.

From the selection and use of excavation tools to the identification and differentiation of soil layers, Chen Han did an excellent job, which is beyond praise.

Chen Han's professionalism and technical skills also made the three brothers and sisters put down some of their worries, and they picked up the guys and followed Chen Han to clean up the exploration area.

Gradually, other archaeological workers who had finished breakfast, led by archaeological institutes and archaeological team leaders from various places, arrived at construction site No. 1 and joined in the intense excavation work.

In a few exploratory areas next to Room F4, other colleagues from the Institute of Archeology of the Academy of Social Sciences arrived one after another. Under the leadership of Kong Wenjian, they also joined this silent battle.

The entire construction site came alive, crowded with people, and a lively scene.

Each one is buried deep in the soil, relics and relics from thousands of years ago.

In the muddy exploration, its mysterious appearance was gradually revealed.
