Chapter 70: The New World
Early summer in April. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The snow on the snow-capped mountains slowly melted.
Pack your bags before parting.
"Dear Edward, can't you not go for the sake of me and the child?"
Holding a child in her hand and holding a big-bellied wife, Fanny, holding her hand, with tears in her eyes, looked at herself with a complaining face.
"My lover Fanny, believe in your husband, two years at most, one year at the earliest, I will be back, don't worry about me, there will be no problem. Zhou Ming hugged his wife, and Wen Yan comforted her.
"Dad, Mom said that the Ural Snow Mountain is the Devil's Mountain, and everyone who turns over it has been eaten by the devil! Can you not go, can you stay with me and my mother in the castle? I will definitely be very well-behaved and obedient!" The three-year-old daughter Avril pulled her trouser leg and said with a serious face, she was very naughty in the past, but today she is rarely well-behaved.
"Good baby, Dad is going to play outside for a few days, and he will be back soon, Dad is a big hero, and the devil can't eat Dad. Holding Avril in his arms and kissing Bobo twice on her face, Zhou Ming, who loved this eldest daughter very much, smiled lovingly.
"No, no, I want my dad to stay at home, I won't let you go out!" Avril kept shaking her little head, and somehow, she just wouldn't let her dad go.
Seeing the stalemate, Baron Connor, the father on the side, came over, took Avril Lavril from Zhou Ming's hand, and said to Zhou Ming with a solemn face: "My son Edward, no matter where you want to go, my father will not stop you, but you have to pick a better time to go, your wife Fanny is five months pregnant, Avril and Louise are both girls, if your third child is not a boy, I don't recommend you to participate in this dangerous trip." ā
"Yes, Edward, at least wait until Fanny gives birth to you, or let someone else go instead of you, why do you have to go yourself?"
Zhou Ming shook his head and said, "When Fanny is born, the best season to climb the mountain has passed, and I will have to wait another year before I can leave...... Don't say any more, I'll be able to come back if I say I'll be back!"
Zhou Ming couldn't go to this expedition in person, because no one except him knew where the best crossing point of the Ural Snow Mountain was, and no one knew how to find new food and water on the equally desolate plateau on the opposite side after crossing the Ural Snow Mountain, and no one knew how to find and bring back what he needed after arriving at the new continent.
All these things have to be done by him personally, otherwise others will run in vain.
What's more, he still has a [world map] in his mind that no one else has, and one run by him is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of times that others run.
After waving goodbye to his family.
Riding on a sturdy alpine horse, Zhou Ming led his expedition of 30 people, and quickly rode through the southern border of the Warris Kingdom, the entire territory of the Iron Fort Kingdom, and the many territories of the Tongshan Kingdom, and galloped more than 1,500 kilometers in more than ten days, from the west direction, into the Barony of Bamo, and entered the big gap at the southern end of the plateau corridor.
Yes, it is this big gap, Zhou Ming has guessed, it is very likely that it is formed by a high-speed meteorite that violently hit the Ural Snow Mountain.
This extraterrestrial meteorite not only knocked out a big gap in the Ural Snow Mountain, and after the meteorite fell into the Tongshan Kingdom, it also turned the geography of this kingdom into a huge basin structure, and in the middle of the basin, a large lake with an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers was formed -- the extraterrestrial meteorite was very likely to be at the bottom of this lake.
However, Zhou Ming was not concerned about the problem of this extraterrestrial meteorite, but because of this meteorite, it not only opened a western gap for his plateau trade route, but also cut a main peak mountain range with an average altitude of more than 10,000 meters to Shengsheng by more than 2,000 meters, leaving a giant pass about 10 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide.
Of course, the premise is that these people can survive normally in this pass at an altitude of 8,000 meters.
It is difficult to successfully climb the nine-thousand-meter-high snow-capped peak (this planet is larger than the earth, the thickness of the atmosphere is thicker, eight or nine thousand meters above sea level, and the atmospheric pressure is about six or seven thousand meters of the earth), and Zhou Ming and others, who have been crawling and rolling on the plateau at a height of five or six thousand meters and living normally for several months, only took half a month to climb to the top of the snowy peak and arrived at the edge of the pass.
As soon as he probed it, his head immediately shrank.
Wind.
Very windy.
The wind whining is enough to blow people away!
The stone walls inside this pass are as light as mirrors blown by the wind.
Coupled with the perennial snowfall, there is no one standing on the solid ice surface of the pass.
How to pass through this gale pass has become a huge problem in front of everyone.
"Put on skate shoes, chisel ice with an iron pickaxe, and everyone will line up in a straight line and crawl forward together!"
After some discussion, Zhou Ming asked everyone to put on skate shoes with sharp alloy blades on the soles, and each person held two pointed iron pickaxes in both hands, lying on the ice, crawling forward, and entering the pass in turn.
Dwayne Johnson, the largest axe, wore a helmet at the front, in an unsightly posture, his buttocks against the head of the descendants, and the descendants did the same, together against the strong wind, like a long snake writhing slowly on the ice, squirming forward with difficulty.
After walking for more than two hours, the people who had only crawled forward for three or four hundred meters, clinging to the ice surface of their bodies, felt that they were about to exhaust the heat in their bodies, and found that the wind speed in the pass was a little smaller, so everyone dared to straighten up slightly, hunch their waists, squeeze each other, and pass through this pass at a slightly faster speed.
"Ahh
"Help me!"
The last thin little member of the team was suddenly blown by a strong gust of wind, stepped on skate shoes, and was directly blown away from the crowd without standing firmly.
"Help me, ah!!"
Under the strong wind, the small team member slid faster and faster on the ice that was sloping to the west, and after a scream, the team member who fell down the mountain did not hear a second scream.
Zhou Ming and the others felt numb in their hearts like an electric shock, so they had to concentrate and move forward more carefully.
The ten-kilometer-long pass pass, everyone walked for three days before they walked to the opposite side of the pass pass.
Against the strong wind, everyone threw a hemp rope out, first let the big axe Johnson, grab the hemp rope down, and wait for the big axe Johnson to find a relatively flat foothold, and then through this hemp rope, everyone climbed out one by one, and pulled the last team member and the hemp rope out of the pass passage together.
Facing east, as far as the eye can see.
A strange and vast new world!
The clear blue sky, like an eggshell canopy covering the earth, is spotless on the surface.
Beneath the snow-capped peaks is a reddish-brown land with undulating ravines that stretches eastward, transitions to a lighter yellowish-brown, and then extends to the far horizon, where a touch of verdant and vibrant green can already be seen.
"Chirp~~"
A crisp, high-pitched bird call came.
Everyone looked up and was stunned.
A giant bird with huge wings, red crown and white head, slender neck, white feathers all over the body, and three long flaming feathers dragged on the tail, the flight posture is beautiful and elegant, and the giant bird with pride and dignity in the song is soaring in the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
