I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

"Professor, are we still digging in this horrible weather?!" Zhaoyang Ruyue's voice was almost drowned out by the whistling wind.

Dark clouds were gathering, thunder and lightning were flashing, and a heavy rain was about to pour down. The archaeological site by Dianchi Lake was about to become a swamp.

This is no joke. This is the site of the ancient Dian Kingdom. If you are not careful, the precious cultural relics may be destroyed!

Their archaeological team, led by the experienced Professor Jiang, gathered elites from all walks of life, with the goal of uncovering the mystery of the ancient Dian Kingdom.

Today is the first day of official excavation, and everyone is ready to work hard.

Unexpectedly, it seemed as if God was deliberately against them. He had a gloomy face since early morning, and now his face changed directly, as if he wanted to give them a warning.

Professor Jiang narrowed his eyes and stared at the half-dug land, as if he could see through the soil a secret that had been dormant for thousands of years.

"Keep digging! The rain won't stop for a while, we must clear this area before the heavy rain!" His tone was firm and left no room for questioning.

Although Wumeng Tianlong was a little nervous, he immediately organized the team members to continue working.

Engineer Li was checking the equipment in a hurry, muttering, "This weather is terrible, I hope the detector is not damaged..." Reporter Zhang hid in a makeshift shed, shivering, but holding up his camera, trying to capture the wonderful moment of "the storm is coming".

Zhaoyang Ruyue frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

She looked up at the sky again. The rolling dark clouds seemed to be lower than before, and... why did the color of the clouds look a little... weird?

"Professor..." She was about to speak, but she saw Professor Jiang suddenly raise his head, his eyes fixed on a piece of bronze fragment that had just been dug out, and his face suddenly changed.

"What...what kind of symbol is this?!"

Before the professor finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly blew up, sending sand and rocks flying everywhere, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

"Oh my god, the wind is so strong!" Reporter Zhang screamed and ran away with his head in his hands.

All kinds of tools were blown all over the sky, shovels, spades, small brushes... like a group of wild horses running around.

Zhaoyang Ruyue was quick-eyed and quick-handed. She grabbed the measuring tape that almost hit her face, and then flew over to save the detector that was almost blown into Dianchi Lake. Her movements were so clean and neat, comparable to those of a martial arts master.

"Oh my god, the wind speed is probably at level eight!" Wumeng Tianlong complained while holding on tightly to a tarpaulin that was about to be blown away.

Engineer Li was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He held the detector as if it were his own child, fearing that it would get bumped.

"My darling, please don't get into trouble!" Even so, some small tools were blown away and disappeared in the wind and sand.

Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at the things going away and stamped her feet in pain.

"My Luoyang shovel! My little brush! My..." Before she had time to count the losses, she saw Wumeng Tianlong pointing in one direction and shouting: "Hold on! Hold on! Don't let the exploration pit collapse!" Everyone immediately rushed to reinforce the exploration pit. The scene was once very chaotic, but fortunately, everyone worked together and finally controlled the situation.

Just when everyone thought the worst was over...

Engineer Li was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He held the detector as if it were his own child, fearing that it would get bumped.

"My precious baby, please don't get into any trouble!"

Even so, some small tools were blown away and disappeared in the vast sand and wind.

Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at the things going away and stamped her feet in pain.

"My Luoyang shovel! My little brush! My..." Before she could count the losses, she saw Wumeng Tianlong pointing in one direction and shouting, "Hold on! Hold on! Don't let the exploration area collapse!"

Everyone immediately rushed to reinforce the exploration area. The scene was very chaotic for a while, but fortunately, everyone worked together and finally controlled the situation.

Just when everyone thought the worst was over, the detector suddenly made a sharp "sizzling" sound, and then the screen flashed a few times and went completely black.

Mr. Li's face instantly fell, looking uglier than if he had eaten bitter melon.

"It's broken! The detector...it...it died!" He pointed at the black screen of the detector with trembling hands, as if announcing bad news.

"What?!" Professor Jiang's voice was filled with disbelief. "This is the latest model of detector, how could it be..."

"Professor, now is not the time to assign blame," Zhaoyang Ruyue analyzed calmly, "We need to find a way quickly to see if it can be repaired or if there is a spare."

Engineer Li wiped the sweat from his face and slapped his forehead. "Yes, yes, yes! Spare parts! I'll go check them out!" He turned and ran to the temporary research room, muttering as he ran, "There should... there should be spare parts..."

Time passed by minute by minute, like ants on a hot pan, everyone was waiting anxiously.

Finally, Mr. Li came back panting, holding a metal box in his hand and a look of joy on his face.

"Found it! Found it! We still have spare parts!"

He quickly began to disassemble and reassemble, his movements skillful and precise, as if an experienced surgeon were performing a delicate operation.

Sweat soaked his clothes, but he didn't bother to wipe it off and concentrated on the emergency repair work.

I don’t know how long it took, but I heard a “buzz” and the detector’s screen lit up again.

"It's fixed!" Foreman Li breathed a sigh of relief, slumped down on the ground, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Professor Jiang walked up and patted him on the shoulder. "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Li."

At this moment, the detector suddenly made a rapid "beep" sound...

"Ding ding ding ding--" The sound became more and more rapid and sharp, making people feel creepy.

Professor Jiang frowned and stared at the waveform on the detector screen, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

"What's going on? Is this thing acting up again?" Wumeng Tianlong couldn't help but complain, and the tense atmosphere just now was instantly broken.

Engineer Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and leaned in close to the screen to observe it carefully, muttering to himself, "This shouldn't be the case. It was just fixed, why is it broken again..."

Suddenly, the "beeping" sound of the detector stopped, and the waveform on the screen stabilized, replaced by a clear signal source pointing deep underground.

"This is..." Professor Jiang's eyes flashed with excitement, "Could it be that some important cultural relic was discovered?!"

Everyone was immediately cheered up, their original fatigue and anxiety were swept away, replaced by full of anticipation and curiosity.

The excavation work resumed immediately, and everyone carefully cleared the soil for fear of damaging the cultural relics underneath.

As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more tense.

Finally, a Luoyang shovel touched a hard object, making a crisp "dang" sound.

"Found it!" Wumeng Tianlong shouted excitedly.

Everyone gathered around, holding their breath, and watched Professor Jiang slowly clean up the mud around him.

A bronze vessel gradually emerged, its surface covered with strange symbols, sparkling with mysterious light under the sunlight.

"What kind of text is this?" Zhaoyang Ruyue looked at the symbols carefully but was completely unable to recognize them.

"It seems to be... hieroglyphics?" Wumeng Tianlong guessed, but was not quite sure.

Professor Jiang also frowned. He had studied ancient characters for many years but had never seen this kind of symbol.

He gently stroked the symbols, as if trying to decipher some information from them.

Seeing this, reporter Zhang immediately took out his camera and took a lot of photos of the bronze vessel.

"This is big news! Mysterious symbols, ancient civilizations, just thinking about it is exciting!"

However, no one present paid any attention to her excitement; they were all immersed in thinking about these mysterious symbols.

After a long moment, Professor Jiang slowly spoke, "These symbols... I've never seen them before..." He paused, his gaze growing penetrating. "Perhaps, this is a brand new discovery..."

He picked up the bronze vessel and examined it carefully, his eyes filled with a desire to explore... "What...what on earth is this?"
