Chapter 13 Archaeology Major Becomes Extremely Popular
In the video, Wei Ying led the workers, using the simplest tools but with precise and efficient techniques, and managed to clear the tomb in eight hours.
They've studied for so many years, but in practice, they're probably not as good as these "amateurs."
"This tomb... does indeed belong to the lineage of the Marquis of Jingchuan, and is very likely one of his sons or nephews."
Hu Zhengchu slowly stood up and stated his conclusion, which was basically consistent with Wei Ying's prediction.
He turned to look at Wei Ying, his expression complex.
Guiding non-professionals to complete highly difficult excavations, clearing tombs in eight hours while maintaining over 95% integrity, and deducing the identity of the tomb owner based on only a few artifacts... even he himself admitted that these were things he could hardly accomplish.
"Without a professional team or sophisticated equipment, they were able to retrieve thousands of cultural relics intact."
Hu Zhengchu looked at Wei Ying and sighed sincerely, "When it comes to archaeological excavation, I am no match for you."
"You flatter me, sir," Wei Ying said with a smile, his tone indifferent.
Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room, 100,000 viewers were once again in an uproar when they heard the archaeological luminary admit defeat.
"Holy crap? The head of the archaeology team said he's not as good as the streamer? The streamer wasn't just digging randomly?"
"Can indiscriminate excavation guarantee that over 95% of thousands of cultural relics will remain intact?"
"Let me give you some background: Hu Zhengchu, president of the China Archaeological Association, a leading figure in the field, has personally excavated no fewer than thirty large tombs!"
"I heard that many top universities invited him to be their dean, but he declined!"
"Wow, that's impressive!"
"..."
After a barrage of explanations in the live chat, netizens realized the significance of Hu Zhengchu. Yet, even this leading figure personally admitted that he was inferior to Wei Ying in archaeology.
"What exactly do livestreamers do?"
"Haichuan University is full of hidden talents; its painting, architecture, and archaeology programs have repeatedly broadened my horizons."
"What the hell? This is full of hidden talents, isn't it all just Wei Ying alone?"
"I suddenly want to apply to the archaeology program at Haichuan University. Doesn't that level of expertise crush those 985 universities?"
Wei Ying led a group of construction workers and managed to clear the large tomb while maintaining 95% of its integrity.
If he gets into the archaeology department of Haichuan University, wouldn't he learn a "unique skill"? At that time, would there be any tomb in the world that he couldn't excavate?
Construction site near the mountain.
After confirming that the cultural relics were intact, Hu Zhengchu did not blame them anymore. Instead, he bowed deeply to Wei Ying and the workers in public to express his gratitude.
Wei Ying led his team to excavate ahead of time, saving them a lot of time and energy. He estimated that if his archaeological team had done it, it would have taken at least a month and a half, and the integrity rate would definitely not have reached 95%.
He turned to a young teammate behind him: "Xiao Chang, you're fired."
The team member's face turned pale instantly. It was he who had just mocked Liu Dazhu and his team for not understanding archaeology.
"Good job! I've disliked him for a long time. What kind of class does he have to look down on migrant workers?"
"Old Hu is admirable; he doesn't put on airs at all. He truly deserves to be called a leading figure in the field."
"Hey anchor, let's try to recruit Professor Hu to Haichuan University!"
"That's right, isn't Haichuan University currently recruiting deans and professors? Professor Hu's professional abilities are definitely qualified!"
Viewers in the live stream applauded, and Hu Zhengchu's move won over countless fans, with many suggesting that Wei Ying should poach him.
"Poaching?" Wei Ying's eyes lit up when he saw the comments. Netizens quickly gave a brief overview of Hu Zhengchu's resume and titles.
In terms of professional skills, they fully meet his recruitment requirements.
Without further ado, Wei Ying walked straight up to Hu Zhengchu and asked tactfully, "Mr. Hu, have you considered changing your environment for development recently?"
Hu Zhengchu was stunned for a moment, a little confused.
"Well, it's like this, I recently opened a school and I'm short of teachers for all subjects," Wei Yingqian explained with a smile.
Hu Zhengchu sized him up, and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he refused seriously: "Sorry, I only know archaeology, I really can't be a high school teacher."
"Not high school, but university."
"A university?" Hu Zhengchu blinked, even more surprised. He spoke of opening a university so casually?
"There's no other way. The school is just starting out, everything needs to be built up, and the teaching staff is weak." Wei Ying sighed and invited them again.
"If Professor Hu doesn't mind, why don't you come and be my vice dean, specializing in teaching archaeology?"
"I'll think about it." Hu Zhengchu frowned, but didn't refuse directly. He then asked, "By the way, what's the name of your university? Where is it located?"
He's getting old and doesn't want to live too far from home. If it were closer, he might consider it.
"It's called Haichuan University." Wei Ying nodded. "As for the address, it's right here at your feet."
"Where is the school located?" Hu Zhengchu's eyes widened, and he subconsciously looked down. Wasn't he standing on a construction site? The surrounding area was all barren mountains.
"Well, to be honest, we are building Haichuan University. The spot where you are standing is the future location of the school gate," Wei Ying said truthfully.
Hu Zhengchu: "..."
It took him a while to realize. So, the "newly opened school" Wei Ying mentioned really had only been open for a few days!
There's not even a school site in sight. To say everything is in ruins is an understatement; it's practically nothing!
"I'll think about this carefully." Finally, Hu Zhengchu swallowed hard, and with the help of his teammates, he staggered away, his back view revealing a hint of existential doubt.
"Host, your recruitment strategy is way too direct! You're just trying to fool people first, get them to sign the contract first!"
"Who would fall for such a straightforward question?"
"It's already quite generous of Mr. Hu not to refuse on the spot."
The comments section erupted with expert opinions again. Wei Ying glanced at them and smiled, "Don't worry, everyone, Old Hu hasn't refused yet."
He was just extending an olive branch. In fact, he knew that without a school site, recruiting a top talent like Hu Zhengchu would be extremely difficult.
The best breakthrough point is to start with the archaeology profession itself.
He turned to Liu Dazhu and said, "It's getting dark, everyone should get some rest. We have work to do early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll notify them right away. Wait, what did you say?" Liu Dazhu nodded halfway before realizing what Wei Ying meant. It seemed Wei Ying was saying they had to dig up the grave again tomorrow?
That evening, on social media platforms.
A post titled #Haichuan University Founding Controversy# went viral and became a trending topic.
On the very first day of Haichuan University's founding, an ancient tomb was unearthed. Everyone thought the project was doomed.
Who would have thought that Wei Ying, leading a construction team, cleared the tomb in eight hours, unearthing over a thousand artifacts, with a 95% or higher preservation rate? Even the archaeological giant Hu Zhengchu was impressed.
"No wonder it's Haichuan University, so hardcore! They dug up a grave and took the exam on the spot?"
"Bringing construction workers to dig up graves? The principal is incredibly audacious!"
"What's wrong with construction workers? They deal with dirt every day; it's practically a related profession!"
"I just looked at the admission brochure. The archaeology major will admit 150 students this year, and the cutoff score is 660."
Netizens were thrilled and flocked to the official website to check the prospectus. They discovered that there really was an archaeology major, but the number of students was small and the admission score was frighteningly high.
"Donate money! We must donate! This is a difficult time for Haichuan University; this is a timely help!"
"Come on, I've heard your scheme all over the place, even overseas!"
"I'm a long-time donor to Haichuan University, so I absolutely must have a place in the first cohort of the archaeology program!"
