Chapter 372: Ambush in the Grand Canyon 1

In 1492, when the Italian navigator C. Columbus sailed to the Americas, he mistakenly thought that the place he was visiting was India, so he called the indigenous people of this area Indians. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Although later generations discovered Columbus's mistake, the original title was popular, so English and other European languages refer to Indians as West Indians.

When translating into Chinese, the word West Indian is directly translated as Indian, or Indian.

With the efforts of archaeologists and the development of genetic science, it is generally accepted in the academic community that the ancestors of the Indians were the race of Asia.

They crossed the Bering Strait in ancient times and reached the Americas.

The Bering Strait, which connects Asia and the Americas, has an average width of only 65 kilometers and is only 35 kilometers at its narrowest point, with two small islands in between, which are only 4 kilometers apart.

Moreover, the Bering Sea is very shallow, with an average depth of 42 meters and a maximum depth of only 52 meters, so it can be connected to the land as long as the sea level drops more than 40 meters.

It is known from some studies of geology that during some time of the Quaternary, especially during the last ice age.

The world's climate is getting colder, ice rivers are coming, and the sea level has dropped by about 130~160 meters.

The Bering Strait, which is only a few tens of meters deep, is exposed to the sea, thus revealing a land bridge connecting northeastern Asia and northwestern America, becoming a natural passage between Asia and the United States.

At this time, the climate in northeastern Asia, which coincided with the Ice Age, was very cold and full of glaciers.

In the interior of the Americas, not only are there no glaciers, but the climate is mild and the food is abundant, and many animals such as mammoths, elephants, musk oxen, moose, and sheep live here.

It is likely that hunters in northeastern Asia, who hunted mammoths and deer at that time, followed these animals and crossed the Bering Strait land bridge to the Americas, becoming the originators of ancient civilizations in the Americas.

Later, as glaciers melted and sea levels rose, rolling waves re-submerged the land bridge, cutting off the two continents from each other, making these outsiders independent Native inhabitants of the American continent.

Because of Columbus's voyage discoveries, the European colonizers who came to the Americas after the 16th century brought devastating disasters to the local Indians.

According to statistics, during the colonial period, 13 million Indians were killed in Spain's territories, about 10 million in Brazil, and about 1 million Indians in the Westward Expansion of the United States.

The complete compilation of the world~ general history has the following text: "In the United States, the civilized country of the world at that time (here referring to the thirteen colonies before the independence of the United States), the genocidal policy came even more brutally.

The so-called believers of the Lord decided in the Legislative Assembly of 1703 that a bounty of £40 would be given for every Indian skull peeled and for every red man captured.

In 1720, the bounty was raised to £100 per skull.

When a tribe in Massachusetts Bay was declared a traitor in 1744, a reward of $100 for every man over the age of 12 and fifty pounds for every woman or child skinned!

Before the colonists entered the New World, there were already four large slave empires in the Americas founded by the Indians.

It is a regrettable historical fact that the embryonic civilization of the Americas was destroyed by colonizers from Europe, and the Indians, who were difficult to domesticate, were basically extinct as a whole, as one of several major human races.

So much so that the colonizers had to send blacks from less civilized Africa to slave people, who were more easily controlled. ”

After Zheng Hao absorbed all the negative consciousness energy in the cave, the root cause of the disappearance of people in the Salte Valley also disappeared, and the crisis in Phoenix City was solved.

Although this is a sad story, everything has a cause and an effect.

The American continent is vast and abundant, and the ancient Indians were able to live without food and clothing as long as they hunted and gathered.

Because it was too easy to make a living, the social technology of the Indians developed slowly, and by the time the Europeans landed on the American continent, they were still in a slave society, and their best weapons were bows and arrows and pikes.

Compared to the white invaders who had arquebuses, cannons, and a clear social division of labor, the Indians were at a complete disadvantage.

After thousands of years of accumulation, the best land and wealth in the Americas were concentrated in the hands of the Indians, just like a child holding gold through the market, and being spied on and plundered is also the inevitable result.

"So if you fall behind, you will be beaten! Exterminating the clan and destroying the country is commonplace. Zheng Hao returned to Phoenix and said to Kelly.

"Hao!"

Kelly's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "My ancestors may have been stained with other people's blood in order to survive, but these are all in the past, don't dislike the current Americans, okay?" ”

"He who has good intentions will be friends; He who harbors malice will be an enemy. ”

Zheng Hao hugged Kelly into his arms and said softly, "Baby Kelly, don't worry, we are a family." ”

Regarding what happened to the Indians in the cave, Zheng Hao's emotion was only because Country C had a similar experience, and he still absorbed all the negative consciousness energy.

What is gone is gone, and living in the present is the most important thing.

There are also Chinese people in Phoenix, and if the crisis in the Salte Valley cannot be resolved, the Chinese must also be within the scope of population diversion, and Zheng Hao has saved many lives.

Before dark, the whole city of Fengcheng City mobilized and organized more than 100,000 people to rush back a large amount of food from the Salte River Valley.

"Mr. Zheng, thank you for everything you have done for Phoenix, I respect you."

At the celebration that night, Brigadier Robert toasted Zheng Hao, and he was like a C country drinker, taking a sip.

"This is humanitarian relief."

Zheng Hao also drank the wine in the wine glass, Phoenix also produces grapes, and the wine produced is not desugared, the taste is mellow, Zheng Hao likes it very much.

Because she missed her family, Kelly also drank a lot of alcohol, and finally got drunk, Zheng Hao carried her back to her residence, and the two lingered for a long time.

At breakfast, Pastor Phoebe brought the good news that Bishop Ronald had found the whereabouts of Kelly's parents, who were in Las Vegas.

"They must have gone there on vacation before the mutation, and Dad had a house in Las Vegas."

Hearing this, Kelly jumped up happily and kissed Pastor Phoebe directly on the face, making the handsome pastor smile awkwardly at Zheng Hao.

Seeing Kelly's excited appearance, Zheng Hao was also relieved, he could understand Kelly's mood.

Without further ado, Zheng Hao and Kelly immediately took Xiaolu and flew directly to Las Vegas in the north.

The cliffs are lined up, and the strata are clear and layered, just like the curved pattern composed of ten thousand volumes of poetry.

The edge of the mountain rises and falls, stretches along the valley, and is like a silk belt of thousands of miles, dancing on the earth.

After more than an hour of flying, a long group of canyons appeared below Zheng Hao and the others.

The canyon is varied, some wide, some narrow; Some are like honeycombs; Some are like anthills; Some are as sharp as pagodas, others are piled up like bricks and stones; Some are like lonely peaks, and some are like caves.

This is a masterpiece of nature, the Grand Canyon.

Weathered rocks vary depending on the minerals they contain, with iron ore being multicolored in the sun, other oxides producing a variety of dull hues, and quartzite being white.

As a result, patches of bright red, dark ochre on one side, black on one side, and iron gray on one side, the earth is like a huge five-colored palette, which is beautiful.

Located on the Kaibab Plateau in northwestern Arizona, the Grand Canyon is one of the most spectacular views on earth.

The Colorado River cuts out a total of 19 major canyons on the Colorado Plateau, with a total area of square kilometers, the deepest, widest, and longest of which is the Grand Canyon.

With a total length of 446 km, it is one of the longest canyons in the world. The canyon is 6 to 28 kilometers wide at the top and 1,800 meters deep at its deepest point.

Because Kelly learned the whereabouts of her parents, she was full of joy even when she flew in the sun, and explained the scenery on the way to Zheng Hao with great interest.

"Spectacular indeed!"

Zheng Hao took Kelly in his arms, took off the Neptune suit and put it on for her to block the gradually hot sun.

To make his woman happy, Zheng Hao temporarily put aside the idea of looking for the earth attribute origin crystal.

"Hao! Look, Angel's Window! Kelly shouted excitedly.

Zheng Hao looked up and saw that a sky cave appeared on a mountain peak in front of him, the peak was towering, and it was called the Angel's Window by the locals.

"Little Green, go through there, and we'll be angels too."

This bare stone mountain is more than 1,000 meters high, and due to the turbulence in the sky, the hollow area forms a whirlpool of air currents, emitting a terrible roar.

Midori flapped her wings and circled in the air a few times, heading straight for the hollow.

There was a lot of resistance in the hollow area, and even though Midori already had the prototype of a divine beast, it took a lot of effort to pass through.

Through the Angel's Window, Midori swoops down in the Grand Canyon with the rushing Colorado River below.

Suddenly, Midori's dive action stopped, and she froze in the air.

"What's going on?"

Zheng Hao had just turned such a thought in his mind, and he suddenly found that his body couldn't move, and the two of them and a bird fell into the canyon together.

In the process of falling, Xiao Lu and Zheng Hao were heavy and fell the fastest, Zheng Hao was facing up on his back and showed a frightened look when he saw Kelly's white jade-like face.

"Kelly!"

Zheng Hao wanted to shout loudly, but he couldn't even open his mouth, and he couldn't activate the six wings.

Deep in the canyon is the roaring Colorado River, with waves crashing against the rocks on both sides, splashing several meters high.

Zheng Hao and Xiao Lu fell heavily on the boulder on the bank, but Kelly fell into the river and quickly disappeared into the murky water.

Falling from a height of nearly 100 meters, the rock where Zheng Hao landed was smashed into stone slag, and his clothes were also torn.

"Fortunately, Kelly is wearing a Neptune suit, she has an alienated physique, and she fell into the river again, so she should be able to escape."

Kelly didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and Zheng Hao could only comfort herself like this.

He tried to turn his neck, and saw that Little Green was bleeding from his mouth and nose, his wings were twisted, and his feathers were shedding a lot.

There was a vibration on the ground, it seemed that there were many people approaching, Zheng Hao's vertical pupils contracted, he was ambushed.
