95. The Lake of Ice Diamonds

The outside of the ice field was originally a wasteland, but due to the interaction between geothermal heat and glaciers, the groundwater in the wilderness was abundant, and then wild grasses grew abundantly, and eventually the tundra was formed.

In other words, this kind of land was born from the two heavens of ice and fire.

The tundra is not just a large meadow, there are also small rivers and lakes in between, these waterways are like the blood vessels of the earth, vigorous, savage, and full of vitality.

In addition, this kind of place looks flat, but in fact, there are many potholes on the surface, and if you are not careful, you will run into a mud pond.

It's more fucked up for cars, some sections of the road are not in good condition, the wheels will get stuck in the mud, and there is no way at this time, the people in the car have to push the cart.

When the pickup truck fell into a grass pit, Luo Bingxin was sleeping, Chen Song didn't wake her up, and the four big men got out of the car and pushed the car.

As soon as you get out of the car, a lot of mosquitoes are coming!

Chen Song was stunned: "Why are there so many mosquitoes in winter?"

"Because the geothermal energy here is so developed, the puddles do not freeze all year round, so mosquitoes can reproduce all year round," said Corey. But it doesn't matter, I brought mosquito repellent. ”

This is different from what Chen Song thought, in his heart, he should come to the ice lake to transport ice should enter a piece of ice and snow, and then look for crystal clear ice in the glacier and the vast cold lake.

As a result, now they are pushing carts on the dirty tundra, and they have to be on the lookout for mosquito swarms.

Corey took out a bottle of mosquito repellent spray and sprayed it, Francetti also sprayed it, and Chen Song also sprayed his whole body.

Goble wanted to take the spray, but Chen Song shook his head and said, "Don't spray, if we all spray mosquito repellent, who will the mosquito bite? ”

When he heard this, Goble was stunned: "EXM?"

Chen Song comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid of man, anyway, you have thick skin and rough flesh, a lot of blood, and mosquitoes can't help you." ”

Goble was even more confused: "WTF?"

It's not easy to push a cart in the tundra, the feet are muddy and slippery, the car is heavy, they have to unload the trailer first, and then push the big Ford pickup truck like crazy.

Fortunately, Chen Song's strength is endless, Goble and Francete are both big men, and with the efforts of the four of them, the pickup truck finally got out of the mud pit with difficulty.

Just when Chen Song was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Luo Bingxin's scream suddenly came from the car.

"What's wrong?" he asked, quickly pulling the car door.

After seeing him, Luo Bingxin didn't scream, but said aggrievedly: "Ah, Brother Chen, are you there?" I opened my eyes and saw that there was no wild grass outside, and there was no one in the car, but the car was driving slowly, and I thought I was in a ghost car......

"That's the cart stuck in the mud, we're pushing the cart underneath! And you were sleeping, so I didn't call you!"

The fat girl gave full play to the down-to-earth and capable spirit of the Chinese workers and peasants, and got off the car to participate in the cart without saying a word.

Franceti pushed her into the car again: "NO, NO, NO, HOW CAN YOU LET A LADY DO SUCH A JOB?"

The fat girl insisted on helping: "Our chairman said that women can hold up half the sky, don't underestimate women!"

Finally pushing the cart out, they hooked up the trailer and continued on their way.

Stuck in them was the hardest part of the tundra, and the further they went, the easier it was to walk, because geothermal energy was no longer developed, ice sheets began to appear, green grass and vegetation became more and more scarce, and they saw the vast Midals ice field.

In the northeastern corner of the ice field, a large lake is embedded in the vast expanse of the earth.

The morning sun shone on the ice and on the lake, and it was as if they had entered a kingdom of ice.

The ice fields are not white, but blue, and they emit a mysterious and strange blue glow in the light, and the lake is filled with large and small ice blocks, and the smooth ice walls are full of bubbles and emit blue light from the inside out.

Many white birds flew by the lake, the crisp birdsong sounded from time to time, when the car stopped, Chen Song's ears only sounded bird calls, and all he could see was the blue blue.

Luo Bingxin's eyes widened, and she lost her voice and said, "Oh my God, Frozen!"

"Welcome to Icelandic Glacier Lagoon. Corey laughed, and then went to work.

The three of them have seen too much of this scenery, and they don't feel it anymore.

Luo Bingxin held the camera and began to take pictures frantically, Brother Dao was kidnapped by her and became a supporting role in the photo, as for the protagonist, it must be a fat girl.

Brother Dao wanted to run, but he was caught back by Luo Bingxin several times and scared him with threatening eyes.

In the end, taking advantage of Luo Bing's inattention, Brother Dao ran back and hid at Chen Song's feet with a face full of grievances: This fat girl is so scary.

Chen Song didn't have time to care about it, he was browsing the grand scenery of the ice field and the glacial lake.

Next to the ice field is a glacial lake, and many of the ice cubes floating on the surface of the lake come from the ice field, and these ice cubes are strange shapes, some like ploughing cattle, some like mammoths, some like chickens and ducks, and some like houses.

The water of the lake is clear, Chen Song looked down and directly saw the black bottom of the lake, if there were no waves, the lake water was almost invisible.

The bottom of the lake is full of pebbles, which are strangely black, and it is also the black reflection that makes the ice give off a blue color.

Corey pulled out a couple of cocktail mixology glasses, poured some juice and liquor into them, and quickly concocted a brightly colored light alcohol cold drink.

One person chose a cup, Chen Song was just about to drink it, Kerui made a pause gesture, and then went to the lake to find a piece of ice to come up, smashed it with a chisel and put it in the cup.

As the ice melted, strings of bubbles bubbled up.

Luo Bingxin applauded excitedly: "It's so cute, today's journey is amazing." ”

"Journey? No, I'm here to work today. Corey put a piece in her glass, too.

Luo Bingxin quickly took pictures and videos, and his cheeks were red with excitement.

Chen Song admired the surging of bubbles and said, "This is really amazing, why are there so many bubbles in the ice in the lake?"

"You know, these ice blocks don't freeze in the cold, they come from glaciers, some of them break off and fall into the lake, and some of them are blown into the lake by strong winds," Corey said. The ice of glaciers is different from ordinary ice, they are snow, and the snow accumulates thicker and thicker, and then the snowflakes are squeezed into snow blocks under their own pressure, and finally become ice. ”

Chen Song understood: "Sometimes the reason why mountain avalanches are terrible is because it is not snow that falls, but this kind of ice. ”

Corey nodded, "yes, so you know, some of the air is squeezed out during the ice and snow squeezing, and some is enclosed in the ice as small bubbles. ”

He added: "Glaciers are blue because of the refraction of sunlight by these bubbles. ”

He handed Chen Song a small piece of ice, the ice cube had few small bubbles, and it looked not blue but crystal clear.
