Chapter 1197: Two Lop Nur

But is it because of the Taklamakan mobile desert? exists, increasing the difficulty of finding.

Coupled with the strange and disordered magnetic field inside Lop Nur, it is even more difficult to touch the north and south.

The man who joined the group was not very old, looked to be in his early thirties, had fashionable little short hair, and wore a pair of brown windproof sunglasses, and he looked less like an expert than a person who played rock music. Especially the appearance of this person riding a camel, he is like a fire, and he is a master at a glance. Compared with this guy, Zhang Meng and these people are more like dirt buns.

After being introduced, Zhang Meng knew that this person's name was Ouyang, and he was a genius in the archaeological field, and his thirty years of experience could make everyone present embarrassed, even some old experts and professors were ashamed.

The fat man was very jealous, and often choked him when he spoke.

But this person never gets angry, and he always makes everyone very comfortable and warm when he talks.

Zhang Meng observed it and found that this Ouyang was almost a perfect man, and his EQ was definitely the highest among all the people he had ever seen. Because of his existence, the gap between the expert group and everyone has been reduced a lot.

While the fat man was deliberately finding fault, Zhang Meng also rode a camel next to them. Zhang Meng is not jealous of this Ouyang, because the fat man said before that the experts who came this time are all from the past who have cooperated with Bogut Company, since he has already been in contact with this secret, he must know more than Lady Na, Zhang Meng wants to ask some clues from his mouth.

Ouyang seemed to see Zhang Meng's intentions, and he deliberately circled Zhang Meng in every sentence, never really revealing any secrets, but he was not like Li Guozhong, who looked down on people and could talk to anyone.

From beginning to end, Ouyang had a charming smile, chatting with people he met for the first time as if he had been friends for decades.

Zhang Meng felt that he had met a real master this time, and he was absolutely speechless from this person's mouth.

At this moment, Ouyang was riding a camel while putting forward his conjecture about Lop Nur.

"Although there is only a piece of yellow sand left in Lop Nur now, in ancient times, Lop Nur was actually a huge lake, which raised countless people in the 36 countries of the Western Regions."

Zhang Meng listened carefully.

"According to history, we can know that the rise of civilization in the Western Regions originated from the Silk Road, when the people of the Western Regions exchanged spices, beauties, and gems for steel, porcelain, salt, etc., creating a large number of rising Western Regions powers. The biggest of them is the Loulan Ancient Kingdom and the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom, but both of these countries perished later, some people say it was because of the plague, and some people say that they were swallowed by the yellow sand, and since their demise, the civilization of the Western Regions has withered. Of course, the civilization of the Western Regions rose once after that, that was in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, but then there was the Age of Discovery, and the merchants had more convenient maritime trade, and no one went to the Western Regions, which led to the complete decline of the Western Regions. ”

As if knowing that Zhang Meng felt that he was digressing, Ouyang continued: "But in fact, many experts are suspecting that before the decline of these two Western Regions civilizations, there was also a prehistoric civilization that was not recorded in history, and the Western Regions at that time was the most prosperous in history. The source of this inference is that Lop Nur once had as much as 70% forest cover. ”

"Hey, I said, can you tell me something we don't know." The fat man stabbed.

"Yes." Ouyang smiled slightly, pointed to the sand dunes in front of him, and seemed to see the green forest thousands of years ago in his eyes: "Everyone knows that Taklamakan is a mobile desert, but no one may know that in fact, Lop Nur was also a flowing lake in the past. ”

"How?" The fat man asked.

"In fact, deep under this desert, there are criss-crossing underground waterways, which are actually far richer than the underground waterways on the mainland. Whenever these underground waterways move, Lop Nur moves with them. ”

Listening to Ouyang's analysis, the more Zhang Meng listened, the more reasonable he felt, and he was unconsciously impressed by the other party's profound knowledge. This kind of feeling, Zhang Meng only had when he was chatting with Laizi.

"Grandma's, that's what happened, no wonder I said I couldn't find Lop Nur! Before this thing disappears, it's a moving lake, where the hell can I find it? Even if we go through the whole desert, I'm afraid we won't be able to find it, and we can't turn this takamagan upside down, right? After listening to Ouyang's words, the fat man sighed and said, after speaking, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and changed his words: "No, no!" Fat man, how could I agree with what he said. ”

Thinking of this, the fat man shouted at Ouyang: "Hey, don't mess around, what do you want to say?" ”

"Yes, Brother Ouyang, you've been talking for a long time, I'm afraid it's not the point, right?" Zhang Meng asked meaningfully.

"Haha, smart." Ouyang smiled on the camel, didn't care about the fat man's sneer, and said, "Let's put it this way, I can now be sure of the true scope of Lop Nur." ”

"We've been looking for so many days and we haven't found the real range, you just knew when you arrived?" The fat man was shocked and said, "I said, you won't be used to bragging." ”

"Fatty, listen to Brother Ouyang." Zhang Meng glared at the fat man.

"Cut!"

"Although I now have a grasp of the scope of Lop Nur, it still needs to be confirmed." Ouyang was still smiling.

"Now that you have mastered the true scope, what else do you confirm? Isn't it enough to just take someone to dig it up? After talking about calves for a long time, it's not bragging. The fat man said angrily.

"Nope." Ouyang suddenly grabbed the camel, looked at Zhang Meng, and glanced at the entire team: "The reason why I said that it still needs to be determined is because Lop Nur is not a single circular lake. ”

"Huh?" The sudden arrival of information made the entire camel team stop, and everyone turned their heads one by one to look at this dashing man in sunglasses.

"What do you mean?"

"yes, what's not a single round lake?"

"Be clear."

Just when everyone was talking, Ouyang showed a slight smile and said calmly and confidently: "Because Lop Nur itself has two lake bottoms, just like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, but in the migration of quicksand, one will sink into the ground, and the other will rise to the surface of the yellow sand." For thousands of years, it is not that no one has found Lop Nur, but that no one has spied on it in its entirety. And our operation this time is to find out all the two Lop Nur! ”
