Chapter 315: First Day of Internship: An Unexpected Beginning

While Jiang Chengjun was immersed in the complacency of his upcoming wonderful life, Gu Fanxing's life was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Today is the first day of Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer's internship. They set out early in the morning and made an appointment to go to the internship unit together.

The morning light was dim, and the soft light passed through the thin clouds and sprinkled on Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer.

They stood side by side in front of an ancient and solemn building, which was the archaeological research unit where they were about to intern.

The exterior walls of the building are covered with ivy, exuding a sense of historical sedimentation and adding a mysterious historical atmosphere to it.

The bronze plaque hanging above the gate is engraved with the vigorous name of the unit - the Archaeological Research Institute of Tracing the Origins of Time.

Looking at this plaque, it seems as if it is telling the stories behind countless archaeological excavations in the past, making people feel as if they have entered a mysterious time and space connecting the past and the present.

The two looked at the building in front of them and were very excited. This was the place where they had always dreamed of working.

"Jiu'er, we've finally waited for this day!" Gu Fanxing's eyes sparkled with excitement. She held Ling Jiu'er's hand tightly, her palms slightly sweating. "We are one step closer to our dream of studying archaeology. I'm excited just thinking about it!"

Ling Jiuer nodded vigorously. The wind blew gently, ruffling her hair. She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to inhale the unique historical atmosphere here into her lungs: "Yes, Xingxing, let's work hard together!"

The two of them walked into the door with full expectations and brisk steps.

Following the signs, the two came to the personnel office.

They were received by an amiable middle-aged woman who briefly introduced the basic situation of the unit and then took them to meet Professor Chen, the head of the archaeological project team.

When I opened the door of Professor Chen’s office, a rich scent of tea hit me in the face.

Professor Chen was sitting at his desk, concentrating on a document in his hand. He looked up at the voice and smiled gently: "Welcome to join us. Come, take a seat first."

However, before they could sit down and exchange greetings, a rapid phone ring suddenly rang.

Professor Chen frowned and picked up the phone. His expression instantly became serious. "What? The ancient tomb site collapsed? Are there any casualties?"

Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer looked at each other, their eyes full of astonishment.

They originally thought that their first day at work would be organizing cultural relics information in the reference room, or learning how to use archaeological tools from their seniors, but they did not expect to encounter such an emergency.

Professor Chen hung up the phone and looked at them seriously. "The situation is urgent. The intern who was responsible for recording the excavation of the ancient tomb has been injured. Now we need you to take over immediately. Although you have just arrived, this is also a rare opportunity for practice. Do you dare to accept it?"

The two people's heartbeats suddenly quickened, and tension and excitement intertwined in their hearts.

Gu Fanxing bit her lip and said first: "Professor Chen, we are willing to give it a try!" Ling Jiuer also nodded firmly: "Yes, we can do it!"

So, under the guidance of the staff, they quickly received simple protective equipment and got on the car to the ancient tomb excavation site.

Along the way, they listened to the staff describe the general situation of the ancient tomb and the possible causes of the collapse, feeling nervous and uneasy.

When they arrived at the scene, the scene before them made them gasp.

The entrance to the ancient tomb was filled with collapsed soil and rocks. The archaeological team members were busy cleaning it up.

Professor Chen briefly explained their tasks to them: "Your main job is to assist in recording every detail of the excavation process, including the location and condition of the cultural relics, as well as the geological conditions at the site, etc. You must be careful and not make any mistakes."

They arrived at the excavation site and immediately got to work.

Ling Jiuer was responsible for recording in the notebook, while Gu Fanxing assisted the archaeological team in measuring the location where the cultural relics were unearthed.

The collapse caused chaos at the scene, and many of the originally marked locations were destroyed, so they encountered great difficulties in recording. In addition, the complex environment at the scene, the dust raised made them cough constantly, and their protective glasses were quickly covered with a layer of dust.

"Fanxing, what should we do? A lot of marks are gone and the records are messed up." Ling Jiuer said anxiously, her voice trembling with nervousness.

Gu Fanxing frowned and tried to calm herself down: "Don't panic, Jiuer, let's start from the places that can still be identified, and sort them out slowly, there will always be a way."

They carefully searched for clues in the ruins, not missing any details. While they were working hard, another accident happened.

While clearing soil and rocks, an archaeologist accidentally touched an unstable layer of soil, and the soil and rocks slid down again, about to hit the team members who were working below.

"Be careful!" Gu Fanxing shouted, rushed over and pushed the team member away.

The rocks and earth fell to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

Gu Fanxing's arm was scratched by a small stone and blood oozed out.

"Fanxing, are you okay?" Ling Jiuer turned pale with fright and ran over to check Gu Fanxing's injuries.

"I'm fine, just a minor scratch. Don't let it affect your work." Gu Fanxing gritted his teeth, simply treated the wound, and continued to devote himself to the recording work.

As time went by, they gradually figured out some ideas and the recording work slowly got on track.

However, new problems emerged one after another.

The lighting equipment at the scene was partially damaged due to the previous collapse, and the light became increasingly dimmer, which brought great difficulties to the recording work.

"The light is too dim. I can't see clearly. How can I record it?" Ling Jiuer said anxiously, with a hint of despair in her voice.

Gu Fanxing looked around and suddenly thought of a solution: "Let's use the flashlight on our phones to illuminate, and I'll help you light up while you record."

So, they cooperated with each other and continued to work in the dim light. After recording each item, they checked it repeatedly to ensure accuracy.

But just when they thought everything was getting better, another trouble came knocking.

The pen used for recording ran out of ink, and no new pen could be found on the scene.

Ling Jiuer searched through all her pockets and tool kits, her eyes red with anxiety: "It's over now, I don't even have a pen, can I still finish recording today?"

Gu Fanxing did not panic. She quickly looked around and found a temporary rest area not far away where there might be pens. She ran over quickly and luckily found a pen on a table.

With everyone's joint efforts, the cleanup work at the collapse site was completed and the excavation work was able to continue.

Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer also successfully completed the recording tasks for the day.

When the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, both of them sat down on the ground exhausted.

Their faces were covered in dust and their clothes were dirty, but their eyes were sparkling with excitement and pride.

"Fanxing, today was so thrilling. I never thought that the first day of internship would be like this." Ling Jiuer said with emotion.

Gu Fanxing smiled and said, "Yes, but this also allows us to truly see the difficulty and challenge of archaeological work. I think today is particularly meaningful!"

After returning to the unit, Professor Chen spoke highly of their performance: "Your performance today exceeded my expectations. You did not back down in the face of unexpected situations and completed the task very well. I hope you can maintain this courage and enthusiasm and continue to work hard in the next internship."

Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer looked at each other and a relieved smile appeared on their faces.

The first day of internship was full of surprises and challenges, but it also made them more determined to pursue the path of archaeology.
