Chapter 294: The Ruins of the Royal City
Two six** Humvees, separated by only twenty or thirty meters, drove in the red desert one after the other.
Now it's a real desert under the wheels.
This kind of road is horsepower-hungry, and it is easy to skid, the car can't drive fast, both cars have six wheels of braking, and the engine roars to the sky.
But no matter how good the sound insulation of the carriage is, no matter how loud the noise outside, it can't hide A
e ears.
In the car in front, He Yongchang and Jin Wenlan were heartbroken when they told Miao Chengyun and Yun Xiu'er about their marriage.
Behind this car, A
e began to broadcast live simultaneously, and repeated the words of several people.
Lin Shuo was heartbroken when he heard this: "There is really something wrong with the professional ethics of these people, they are hunting, they don't talk about business, they are talking nonsense." Yun Xiu'er and Miao Chengyun are just that, why are He Yongchang and Jin Wenlan so unreliable?"
"Alright. Wei Xingshan was dancing at this time, "Lao Lin, look behind you, two wives are sitting, and there is an Aunt Miao holding back to make your father small, and our car can't be serious?"
"Why are you so happy?" Lin Shuo glanced at Wei Xingshan, "Did you start to get carried away when you heard that Jin Wenlan was still interested in you?" If you want to pedal two boats, you have to be able to do this, you know?"
"Hey, two senior ladies, listen, this is not human words!" Wei Xingshan shouted.
"People are like clusters and groups are grouped, and you master and apprentice are all the way. ”A
E said, "It's all unclean." ”
"But A's and I
e cleaned up Lin Shuo, it was in bed. Di Lan said, "You Wei Xingshan turned around and cleaned up, then I don't know where it is." ”
"Oh Dilan, why do you say everything?"
E complained, "I'm not ashamed. ”
Dylan stuck out his tongue and then turned to A
E bit her ear for a while, and she didn't know what she said, and the two beauties sneered together.
Wei Xingshan turned his head and glanced at Lin Shuo: "Look, can you stand up?"
"Alright. Lin Shuo waved his hand, "Drive your car." ”
"Lin Shuo, stop!" Miao Xiaoxian suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?"
"I feel like I'm going to throw up!"
......
Driving a car to hunt, this treatment Lin Shuo had never enjoyed before, and he thought it was a good thing, after all, it was labor-saving.
But at the moment, everything has two sides, the force under the feet is saved, and there are a lot of moths that can be wholeed.
In just one day and one night, Miao Chengyun was drunk in the car in front of him, and he hadn't been awake for much time, Yun Xiu'er hadn't slept for two nights, and her state was greatly reduced.
In their own car, the aunt and nephew of the Miao family said that they had good combat power, but they vomited all the way, and their faces began to turn blue at this time.
In their state, they really encountered the demon of Dover, and they didn't know who was hunting whom.
Therefore, although Lin Shuo has not been idle in his mouth, he has a string in his heart, his eyes are watching and listening to all directions, and his nose is also awake.
The Red Desert lives up to its name, the sand here is slightly red, and once the car drives in, it is as if you have arrived on an alien planet.
The terrain is not as flat as it is on the hungry steppes, and sand dunes are beginning to appear.
The sand dunes here are different from those in the desert, they are crescent-shaped sand trenches.
These sand dunes are formed because of the special wind direction here.
In the case of two sets of wind directions at an acute angle, one wing of the dune extends very long forward, while the other wing stops moving relatively and eventually even disappears.
The extended wing develops into a sand trench.
The height of this sand trench is about ten meters, and the length varies, ranging from hundreds of meters to several kilometers. One side has a gentle slope, and the other side is cut down, almost straight up and down.
This kind of sand dune looks beautiful from a distance, but it is more difficult to drive on it.
As I drove it, once the car crossed the slope, it fell headfirst down.
Fortunately, the sand trench I encountered at the beginning was not high, and it was okay to drop the car once or twice, but then I knew that I had to drive around a little.
It's just that I fell the car a few times, and I made all kinds of detours, and the car didn't go in a straight line, Miao Xueping and Miao Xiaoxian couldn't stand it.
Two beautiful heads stuck out of the car window, and it was sprinkled all the way.
Just vomiting and spitting, by the afternoon of this day, the two began to show symptoms of dehydration, and fell asleep in a daze, unconscious.
It is said that since there is a Miao family in the hunting team, the Miao family is the doctor in the team, and now it is fine, the others are fine, and the doctor fell ill first.
Fortunately, there is also an A on this car
e in, the materials on the car were also prepared by Miao Guangqi himself.
Hunting in the desert, dehydration is normal, so Miao Guangqi's preparation is targeted, and there is salt water in the medical kit.
Hang saline on the aunt and nephew, and after such a toss, it is getting dark again.
After driving on this day, Wei Xingshan looked at the dashboard, his group of people drove more than 200 kilometers to the depths of the Red Desert, but because they wanted to bypass the sand trenches, they actually advanced to a depth of about 100 kilometers.
And here, it is near the place where the incident occurred.
Wei Xingshan calculated, just like this, the oil on the car was exactly the same.
If you go somewhere else and search for something, it won't work.
And just as it was about to get dark, the oil and gas pipeline in the distance disappeared.
This is the same oil and gas pipeline that was erected on the ground, and at this moment, it happened to be drilled into a tall sand trench and buried.
This sand trench is the highest sand trench that Wei Xingshan has ever seen today.
It is more than 30 meters high, like a small mountain range.
You can see the pipe from here, and then you don't know where it comes out.
So when you drive here, even if you get to the ground, the car can't go any further, otherwise you won't have enough fuel to go back.
The rest of the road has to rely on two legs.
......
Yang Tuo has been idle for the past two days.
Dilan followed Lin Shuo to hunt in the Red Desert, and then soon the news came that the two were married.
Therefore, Academician Yang followed the mission to the foot of Kunlun Mountain this time, which can be regarded as partially completed.
has Lin Shuo's promise to take medicine on time, so the matter of the female Hades is temporarily settled.
This time, he actually has another task, that is, to represent the official, participate in the peer league ceremony of the hunting door, and say two words at the opening ceremony, cut the ribbon or something.
However, there are still twenty days to go, so Yang Tuo is okay for the time being.
Thinking that he hadn't taken a vacation for many years, Yang Tuo didn't plan to go back in the past twenty days, but called his fiancée over, and the two of them spent their honeymoon here in advance.
Yang Tuo's fiancée is from Lanzhou, surnamed Chen, who works as a lecturer at the university, and the two are scheduled to marry in March this year.
Yang Tuo couldn't experience romantic emotions because of his brain disease, but he thought that there were both Kunlun Mountain and Qinghai Lake, as well as an old mansion, and Mr. Chen should like it.
It is indeed as he expected, the old mansion of the Su family is an ancient building, the environment is quiet, the food is good, and it doesn't cost money to live here, and Mr. Chen, who can live, is very satisfied.
After a few days, Mrs. Future was very happy, but Yang Tuo didn't experience any fun.
He can't talk about liking or disgusting his fiancée, he can't understand these two emotions, he only knows that normal people live like this, and he has to do it.
This is definitely unfair to his fiancée, so he can only try to be considerate as much as possible.
That night, Mr. Chen spoke, saying that Yang Tuo was a big man who was tired of being around his wife all day long, so let him go out for a walk and have normal interactions.
So Yang Tuo walked into the office of the International Society for the Study of Strange Creatures in Asia and saw three people busy inside.
Cao Yusheng, Miao Guangqi, Cao Mian.
"You've come just in time. Miao Guangqi beckoned and asked Yang Tuo to sit down.
"Mr. Miao. Yang Tuo naturally knew the elder of the International Biological Research Association, "You seem to be quite busy?"
"yes. Cao Yusheng said, "We are conducting some analysis of the location of the Red Desert case, Yang Tuo, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, come along." ”
"Okay. Yang Tuo was not polite, but sat down and asked, "Where is it?"
"It's strange that neither satellite photos nor reconnaissance planes can find a specific location for the incident. Cao Yusheng introduced, "It is said that there is no cover on the desert, everything is unobstructed. But this time, I can't see anything strange from the sky, people go in and go missing, what the hell is going on?"
"Then Mr. Miao and the head of the Cao family, do you have any ideas?" Yang Tuo asked again.
"Underground. Miao Guangqi turned the computer screen, pointed to Yang Tuo, and said, "You see, this place has formed a huge sand trench in recent years, looking at the size, the height must be more than thirty meters, and the length is more than a hundred kilometers.
Russia's oil and gas pipeline to Iran, this section here, is buried tightly.
Nowhere else, even if there are sand trenches buried in the pipes, there are not as many as here.
So we estimate that the location of the incident is most likely here. ”
"There should be no doubt about it underground, but what about the motive for the crime?" Cao Yusheng said, "The Dover Demon has been here for so many years, and it has been recorded during the Tang Dynasty, this is an underground creature.
According to historical records, it is not active on the surface of the earth, and there have been only a few records of predation on the surface for thousands of years.
So it committed crimes on the surface, and it was a fortuitous event. Since it is a fortuitous event, there must be a reason.
What exactly is the reason?
In addition, since it is an underground creature, where is its nest and what is its structure? ”
"When it comes to underground structures, it's not entirely clueless. Yang Tuo said, "From the perspective of continental plate drift, this part of Central Asia used to be an ocean.
The Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea there were both part of the ancient Mediterranean, and after they became land, they were all relatively compact saline-alkali land, the land was not fertile, and the rain was scarce, so it was very difficult to farm and produce, so they could only graze.
With this kind of geographical feature, it is not very likely that there will be a huge space cave underground.
Therefore, we can consider the human factor more about the structure underground.
The impact of human activities on the environment is very large.
The Red Desert was not fertile before, but it was not so barren. Now it's a desert, mainly because of overgrazing.
If there are people, there is a city, is there an ancient city ruins or something, buried in the ground?"
"That's right, it's a bridge over the Eurasian continent, and human activity has always been frequent. Miao Guangqi said, "The Dover demon in Taklamakan was also in the ruins of an ancient city underground when it was discovered. ”
Cao Yusheng said: "But since ancient times, the land of the Red Desert has been the banner of the changing king at the head of the city, mainly occupied by nomads, and there is no writing left. The historical records of China and the West have always been vague and even contradictory. If you want to know what's buried underground, you have to guess. ”
"Anyway, it can't be after the Tang Dynasty. Miao Guangqi said, "Since there is a record of the Dover demon appearing from the ground in the Tang Dynasty, it means that its lair must have been formed before the Tang Dynasty." ”
"The Xiongnu?" Cao Yusheng said, "After the Northern Xiongnu were driven away by the Han Dynasty, they did recuperate here for more than a hundred years, and the scale of the country was okay, there should be a large ancient city, and later archaeological excavations did not find these cities." ”
"Eight or nine is not far from ten. Miao Guangqi nodded, "At present, mainstream historians believe that the Xiongnu stayed near the Red Desert for more than a hundred years, and after recovering a certain amount of national strength, they moved westward in a big way, causing the first ** in European history." The Europeans were driven by the Huns, known as the Great Migration of Nations, and finally crushed the Western Roman Empire. ”
"If it's a Xiongnu site, it's better to have drawings. Yang Tuo said, "The architectural drawings of the Xiongnu King City have to be given to Lin Shuo." Even if the city is different, since it is a city of the same nation, the general structure and style should be similar, at least it can be referred to, so as not to be blackened underground. ”
"I'll arrange it. Miao Guangqi stood up and took out the mobile phone in his arms, "Go airdrop, I hope to catch up." ”
