Chapter 500: Four minus one
"Due to its proximity to the vast and desolate Gobi Desert, the climate conditions in Xinjiang are very harsh, so many unsolved mysteries have been bred on this mysterious territory since ancient times.
The first picture in front of us is the mystery of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, speaking of the ancient kingdom of Loulan and Lop Nur, everyone should be very clear, many Internet authors like to take these two places as adventure places.
Loulan is an ancient small country in the west of our country, the ruins of the national capital Loulan City are on the northwest bank of the current Lop Nur, the southwest passes through the end, the fine, the detainment, Khotan, the north passes through the Cheshi, the northwest passes through Yanqi, the east is the white dragon pile, the pass Dunhuang, and the key point of the Silk Road.
I won't say much about the specific information of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, I believe that everyone has heard a lot of news whether it is true or false, but at present, there are only a few speculations about the reason for the disappearance of this ancient country, let alone no real confirmation.
One of these theories is that Loulan disappeared in the war, and after the fifth century AD, the kingdom of Loulan began to weaken, and the northern powers invaded, and the city of Loulan was broken and then abandoned.
The second theory is that Loulan decayed due to drought and water shortage, and the ecology deteriorated, and the upstream river was cut off and diverted, and people had to leave Loulan.
The third theory is that the disappearance of Loulan is related to the north-south migration of Lop Nur.
The fourth theory is that the disappearance of Loulan is related to the opening of the North Silk Road, after the opening of the North Silk Road in Hami and Turpan, the ancient Silk Road desert road through Loulan was abandoned, and Loulan also lost its former glory.
The second unsolved mystery has to talk about the mystery of the Sun Tomb, which was found in the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan.
The tomb was built at the expense of a large number of trees, and when you step inside, you can see a group of concentric circles surrounded by seven layers of poplar stakes, with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters.
The whole cemetery looks from afar, like a round of ancient vicissitudes of the sun, embedded in the Gobi wasteland, so people call it the sun tomb.
It's just that the wooden stakes in the tombs can fix the sand and strengthen the mounds, without them, it is difficult to dig and build a tomb more than two meters deep in the sand.
However, sand fixation may take such a form, but why does it show such a pattern?
What does it mean? Is it 'sun worship'?
And why did the tomb owners lean upright and face west instead of east?
Some people say that the Loulan Kingdom was destroyed by the traces of large-scale forest cutting in order to build a large-scale sun tomb?
Why did the ancestors of the Loulan Kingdom build such an uprising sun-shaped tomb in the desert, and what does it mean?
No one knows anything about this, and all that remains is a mystery.
The third is the mystery of the big ear, in fact, when people are arguing about the unsolved mysteries of Lop Nur, there will be waves of unsettled waves and waves.
In July 1972, NASA's Earth Resources Satellite took a photo of Lop Nur, and it was found that Lop Nur resembled one of the human ears, not only with ear wheels, ear holes, and even earlobes.
How did this Earth Ear come about?
It is believed that this was mainly caused by the impact of the flood from the southern slope of the Tianshan Mountains in the late fifties, and when the flood water flowed into the lake basin, it passed through the desert and carried a large amount of sediment, impacting and dissolving the original dry lake basin, and forming a protruding ring under the water according to the direction of the water flow.
But that's just speculation.
As for the fourth one I want to mention, in fact, everyone who has seen the description of Lop Nur in various film and television dramas should know that it is a mysterious death.
For a long time, in order to uncover the true face of Lop Nur, countless explorers have sacrificed their lives and died to go deep into it, and there are many tragic stories, which have put a veil of mystery on Lop Nur.
Some people say that the Lop Nur area is a 'devil's triangle' on the Asian continent, through which the ancient Silk Road passed, and many lonely ghosts and wild ghosts roamed here throughout the ages, and dry bones are everywhere.
When the Eastern Jin Dynasty monk Fa Xian traveled west to learn scriptures and passed through this place, he once wrote, "There are many evil ghosts in the Sand River, and those who meet the hot wind will die, and none of them will ......'.
Many people died of thirst not far from the springs, and incredible things happened from time to time.
Of course, there is also the mystery of the disappearance and death of Peng Jiamu, an outstanding scientist in our country, Lop Nur has always been a mysterious world, a mysterious wasteland, although extremely dangerous, but people are still confused, thinking, arguing, and even dedicating themselves to it for thousands of years. ”
Zhang Yang said 4 unsolved mysteries in a row, and each of them has a close connection with Lop Nur, plus there are usually too many legends and stories about Lop Nur, and the people in the live broadcast room are even more curious about this mysterious place, not to mention ......
"Brother Yang, will you go to Lop Nur?"
"It's better not to go, or it's better to live on the edge and wander around, it's better not to go to the depths, it's too dangerous there!"
"It turns out that there are so many unsolved mysteries here, I don't even know what the Sun Tomb is, let alone the fact that the shape of Lop Nur is an ear!"
"How can I have time to worry about these things, I don't even have time to chat with my girlfriend when I'm working overtime or on the way to work overtime a day, let alone understand these things!"
"You actually have a girlfriend upstairs?
"The sudden discovery of 'true love' by the single dog of destiny has made countless scientists and human researchers wonder, what is going on?!"
"Poof, haha, you're very spiritual in this quotation mark, could it be that this true love means something else?"
"Who says that only men and women have true love? ”
"Welcome the man!"
"A strong man!"
"Men are so nice!"
Whether to go to Lop Nur or not, it seems that there is nothing to think about at all, because Zhang Yang will be in a daze, just now.....
"Urgent mission issued: Ask the host to go to the depths of Lop Nur for a live stream of the trip.
Requirements: The time limit is one month, no more and no less.
Quest rewards: Guiding Villain X1, and the rest of the rewards are skill advanced cards, the number depends on the level of exploration!
Task Punishment: Deprive X2 of Master Skills, and reduce the number of members by 4 minus 1!
Hearing the task that the system said, Zhang Yang frowned deeply, although he had long known that emergency tasks had task punishments, but this time the failure punishment scared him a little.
It seems that the only time that life is in danger seems to be the last time the two little guys lost one randomly, but this time they actually drilled all four lifeforms of their small group into it!
The two little guys have been with him for so long, and they have long had a strong emotional foundation, and it is impossible for him to let the two little guys have an accident.
Not to mention He Xiaoman, this is the person who has to accompany him for a lifetime, and he is usually not even allowed to do any heavy work, how can he let her have an accident!
"System, what's going on this time? I don't believe it's just what you just said in the mission, are there other things you haven't told me? Otherwise, why is there a downsizing this time, and is your attrition an accident or leaving? You have to give an explanation, right?"
