Chapter 1156 The Vanishing Immortal Lake

"It seems that if you don't take risks, you won't get anything good." Han Peacock said with emotion, their generation has not encountered any good things! So when they grow up, if they want to get ahead, they must have others work harder.

"It's okay if you don't want to take risks, as long as you have money, you can still buy good things, I know that there is a person who has a piece of superb golden silk jade in his hand." Qian Mingyuan said with a smile.

Han Peacock was still very interested in the best golden silk jade, so after getting the news, he no longer wandered around the Gobi, but returned directly to Karamay.

After resting all afternoon, in the evening, Han Peacock met this person.

This person has a piece of gold silk jade gemstone in his hand, and she won't sell it if someone bids 2.8 million.

This gemstone was exhibited at the Hualin Golden Silk Jade Fair in November 2013, when the price was 2.8 million.

The owner of Baobaoguang is a middle-aged woman, named Zhang Mei, 58 years old this year, she said that every summer, she and her friends go to Wuerhe to pick up stones, enter the Gobi Desert in the morning, and only come out at night.

Now there are fewer and fewer good stones, but I still want to try my luck, but I almost can't come across them, and now I buy more stones.

The piece of gold silk jade gem light rough in her hand was not found by herself, but bought at a large price at the gold silk jade fair in August 2014.

At that time, the appearance of this gemstone light caused a commotion, and many people gathered in front of the booth to take photos, and many gold silk jade lovers were amazed.

In fact, when this gemstone appeared at the Hualin Golden Silk Jade Exhibition in November 2013, she took a fancy to it, but the price was very expensive and she was reluctant to buy it.

She was thrilled when she saw the baby again. I made up my mind to buy it this time anyway.

The gem light is the best gem in the golden silk jade, and this is the largest gem light she has ever seen, which is representative, so she naturally wants to buy it even more.

The owner of the baby still recognized her after a year, and when he saw that she really liked her, he lowered the price a little.

She was reluctant to disclose the exact transaction price. She said that after buying it, she slept with the stone for 3 days, and during that time, she carried the more than 1 kilogram of stone in her bag wherever she went.

Qian Mingyuan has been in contact with gold silk jade for 5 years, this gem light he also saw at the gold silk jade exhibition last year, this gem light is light yellow, the texture is fine, transparent, more beautiful and charming than the photo.

Such a large gem light is rare in the whole country, and this is the largest gem light he has seen so far. At that time, there were many people who wanted to buy it, with a price tag of 2.8 million, and finally Zhang Mei bought it.

If it weren't for the urgent need for money, Zhang Mei wouldn't have sold it, so Han Peacock could be regarded as good luck.

After buying this piece of golden silk jade gemstone with three million, Zhang Mei said to Han Peacock: "The golden silk jade gem is crystal clear, and it is also warm under natural light, as if it is permeable with water. Even people who don't understand stones will fall in love when they see it, and they really like it. Surely understand my madness. ”

Han Peacock looked at the whole piece of crystal gem light, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes from time to time.

At this time, a sentence naturally came out of his heart: only when you really see the light of the gem can you know its beauty.

"Of course, for the sake of such a beautiful thing, it is impossible to go crazy." Han Peacock said.

"Ms. Zhang. I've heard that in the past year, how many times have you been in Luo and Bu Nur? After the transaction was completed, Qian Mingyuan interjected in surprise.

"Huh?" Han Peacock and Wei Changqing's eyes all turned to Zhang Mei.

Zhang Mei naturally saw the surprise in Han Peacock and Wei Changqing's eyes, so she smiled and said, "Didn't you see it?" I'm an old woman like I'm almost sixty. Still adventurous? ”

"You're always looking for gem light?" Han Peacock asked.

"Of course," looking at the gem light in Han Peacock's hand, Zhang Mei said: "Such a beautiful gem light, I used to have it, if it wasn't for more and more beautiful gems, how could I give it up?" ”

"So you have a clear goal?" Han Peacock already understood a little at this time, Qian Mingyuan probably did not simply introduce him to a business, but intended to cooperate with this Zhang Mei to enter Luo and Bunu.

"What? Mr. Zhang also intends to enter Luo and Bu Nur? Zhang Mei didn't have any accidents.

At this time, Qian Mingyuan said: "We can provide logistical support." ”

"Really? You must know that in the Gobi, the most difficult thing is to have enough living materials. "It is because of this that Zhang Mei came into contact with Han Peacock and Qian Mingyuan, if it wasn't for this to attract Zhang Mei, Han Peacock really wouldn't have been able to buy that superb gem light so smoothly.

"This can't be faked, as long as you enter the Gobi and don't have enough supplies, it won't end well, so you don't have to be afraid that we will lie to you." Qianming is far away.

"Oh well! I hope what you say is true, and if so, the supplies will be handed over to you, so that we can leave tomorrow. "Zhang Mei sold the jewel light just to buy supplies, and now that the most expensive item was handed over to Han Peacock, she naturally didn't mind taking them.

Just like Qian Mingyuan said, after entering the Gobi, if there are not enough supplies, I believe that Han Peacock and others know what will happen.

Since it was not in-depth cooperation, it could only be said that it was a mutual use, so the two sides did not exchange substantive content, but simply said where they would gather tomorrow and separated.

The next day, Huangshan drove a large van and followed an off-road convoy.

Everyone knows that there is a Luo and Bunur on the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, but we know that since the beginning of the 20th century, the Swedish explorer Sven Bush. It was only when Hedin broke into Luo and Bu Nur that it gradually became known.

In 1980, Peng Jiamu, a famous Chinese scientist, disappeared during a scientific expedition there; Sixteen years later, the explorer Yu Chunshun was killed there again, adding a bit of mystery to Lop Nur.

Luo and Bunur are endless Gobi deserts, without a single grass or stream, and the temperature in summer is as high as 70 °C.

There is not a single bird in the sky of Luo and Bu Nur and no bird dares to cross it, but in the past, Luo and Bu Nur were not deserts, but in the distant past, they were an oasis of life with herds of cattle and horses, green forests and clear rivers.

Luo, Bu Nu, on the left side of the word "Bo" is three points of water! Open the history books about the Western Regions, and you will be amazed by the bustling city of Luo and Bunur.

Hanshu. The Legend of the Western Regions records the vast hinterland of the 36 countries of the Western Regions in the vast hinterland of the Eurasian continent, drawing an endless green corridor, and walking here in summer is no different from being in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the past, the rich water system of the Tarim Basin moistened thousands of acres of green land, when Zhang Qian shouldered the great historical mission of going west out of Yangguan, when he stepped on this imaginary desolate and bleak land, he was stunned by its beauty.

What caught Zhang Qian's eyes was the green and golden wheat waves everywhere, and since then, Zhang Qian has led everyone to open the famous Silk Road.

According to historical records, in the 4th century, the water surface of Luo and Bunu exceeded 200,000 square kilometers, and by the 20th century, there were more than 1,000 square kilometers of water.

Polite. When Hedin entered Lop Nur in the 30s of the 20th century, he took a small boat, and he took the boat around the water with great interest, and he stood on the bow of the boat and looked around, sighing at the beautiful scenery here.

After returning home, Sven. In his famous book "8 Years of Exploration in the Heart of Asia", Hedin wrote: "I was amazed by Luo and Bu Nur, who were like a fairy lake, and the water surface was like a mirror, and under the warm sun, I sailed in a boat like a fairy." Not far from the boat, a few wild ducks play on the lake, and fish gulls and other small birds sing happily......

By Sven. The waters that Hedin praised were completely lost in the 70s of the 20th century, and Luo and Bunur have since become terrifying places.

Now research shows that the demise of Luo and Bunur is directly related to the Tarim River.

The Tarim River is 1,321 kilometers long, is the first inland river in China and the second largest inland river in the world, according to the record of the Western Regions, before the 20s of the 20th century, the lower reaches of the Tarim River were abundant, the blue waves were rippling, the poplars on the bank were thick, and the forests were strong.

From 1925 to 1927, under the order of the Kuomintang government, the Tarim River was diverted to the north and flowed north into the Peacock River to join Luo and Bunu, leading to drought and water shortage in the lower reaches of the Tarim River, and 310 villagers in three villages fled their homes, abandoned their arable land, and desertification expanded.

In 1952, after the liberation, the middle reaches of the Tarim River were changed due to the construction of the Luntai Dam, and the ecological environment of the lower reaches of the Tarim River was improved.

The problem lies in the fact that in the past 30 years, the population on both sides of the Tarim River has surged, and the demand for water has also increased.

In the past few decades, more than 130 reservoirs have been built in the Tarim River basin, 138 water outlets have been dug at will, and more than 400 pumping stations have been built, some of which have to pump more than 10,000 cubic meters of water a day.

Blindly increasing the use of water for cultivated land, blindly building reservoirs to intercept water, blindly digging embankments to divert water, and blindly building pumping stations to pump water, the "four blinds" are like huge water absorbers, and finally drain the Tarim River, causing the length of the Tarim River to shrink sharply from 1,321 kilometers in the 60s to less than 1,000 kilometers in 2002, and 320 kilometers of the river channel have dried up, so that more than 50,000 acres of cultivated land along the coast have been threatened.

After Luo and Bu Nur dried up, the surrounding ecological environment immediately changed, all the herbaceous plants died, the poplar forest of the sand control guard died in patches, and the desert advanced to the lake at a rate of 3 to 5 meters per year, and Luo and Bu Nur soon became one with the vast Taklamakan Desert.

At this time, Luo and Bu Nur disappeared, and a beautiful fairy lake praised by the world disappeared in this way.

Thousands of years ago, Luo, Bu Nur, lakes and mountains, clear water and blue sky, many rivers into it, a vein is connected, all like pearls sprinkled on the ground, it is said that this is the goddess's amorous teardrops. (To be continued......)
