Chapter 1158 Ruins of the Ancient City
In July 1972, NASA's Earth Resources Satellite took photos of Luo and Bu Nur showing that Luo and Bu Nur resembled one of the human ears, not only with ear rings, ear holes, and even earlobes.
As for how this earth ear was formed, there is a view that it was mainly caused by floods from the southern slope of the Tianshan Mountains in the late 50s.
When the flood water flows into the lake basin, it passes through the desert and carries a large amount of sediment, impacting and dissolving the original dry lake basin, and forming a protruding ring band under the water according to the direction of the water flow.
It is precisely because of the subtle geomorphological changes of the dry lake bed that the local composition changes, which will inevitably affect the spectral characteristics of the dry lake bed, thus forming a "big ear".
But there are also people who disagree with this, and scientists have different opinions and debates, and perhaps the debate over Luo and Bunur will never end.
In order to uncover the true face of Luo and Bu Nur, throughout the ages, countless explorers have sacrificed their lives and forgotten their lives to go deep into it, and there is no lack of tragic stories, which have put a veil of mystery on Luo and Bu Nur.
Some people say that the Luo and Bu Nur areas are a "devil's triangle" on the Asian continent, through which the ancient Silk Road passed, and many lonely souls and wild ghosts roamed here throughout the ages, and dry bones are everywhere.
When the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang traveled west to learn scriptures and passed through Dunhuang, he wrote in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" that "there are many evil ghosts in the Sand River, and people who meet the hot wind will die, and none of them will come back alive ......."
Many people died of thirst not far from the springs, and incredible things happened from time to time.
In 1949, a plane flying from Chongqing to Di and Hua (Ulu and Muqi) disappeared in the sky over Shanshan County.
In 1958, it was found in the east of Luo and Bunu, and all the people on board died. Why did you suddenly change course and fly due south?
In 1950, a guard of the People's Liberation Army's anti-bandit unit disappeared, and after more than 30 years, the geological team found his body in the Hongliugou on the south bank of Luo and Bunu, which was more than 100 kilometers away from the accident site.
June 17, 1980. Peng Jiamu, a famous scientist, disappeared while investigating and searching for water resources in Luo and Bunu, and the state dispatched planes, troops, and police dogs, spending a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct a carpet search, but found nothing.
In 1990, seven people from Harbin and Mi took a passenger and freight car to Luo and Bunur to find crystal mines, and never returned.
Two years later. Three bodies were found lying on a steep slope, the car was 30 kilometres from the deceased, and the whereabouts of the others were unknown.
In the summer of 1995, three Milan farm workers went missing in a jeep to explore treasure in Luo and Bunu.
Later explorers found the bodies of two of them, the cause of death unknown, and the whereabouts of the other unknown, 17 kilometers from Loulan. It's amazing that their cars are in good condition, and there is no shortage of water and gasoline.
June 1996. Yu Chunshun, a Chinese explorer, went missing during a solo expedition to Luo and Bunu.
When his body was found by helicopter, the forensic medical examiner determined that he had been dead for five days, because he had deviated more than 15 kilometers from his original trajectory and could not find a water source, and eventually died of thirst.
Died. It was found that his head was facing the direction of the Demon Capital, and Yu Chunshun was from the Demon Capital.
In 1997, a family of 3 from Gan, Sudun and Huang, under the leadership of their father, went to Loulan to hunt for treasures. The results were gone, and the bodies of the last three people were found by gold diggers.
In the same year, four people from Chang and Ji drove large trucks to Hongliugou on the south bank of Luo and Bunu to look for gold mines, but there was no news after that.
In 1998, four bodies and a rotten car were found near Hongliugou.
In late 2005, the body of an unnamed man was found in Luo and Bu Nur in Dun and Huang, and at that time it was presumed that the man was a "travel friend", and the forensic medical examiner determined that he was not killed.
After the body was discovered, it also attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of "travel friends" in China, and some people even issued an initiative on the Internet to find his identity, and finally with the efforts of everyone, the identity of the man was finally determined, and his remains were finally returned to his hometown.
It has been ascertained that the man went on his own expedition to Luo and Bu Nu in 2005, but why he died has always been a mystery......
The mysterious world of Luo and Bunu, the mysterious wasteland, has been confused, pondered, argued, and even dedicated to it for thousands of years.
However, no one has ever been able to know its secrets, and Han Peacock is the favorite explorer to decipher.
"I didn't expect this Gobi desert to be so weird?" Huangshan said thoughtfully.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "Although it is a bit of a problem, there are a lot of treasures buried here, the legendary ancient city of Lop Nur, the ancient Loulan not far away, and many ancient cities of the ancient Loulan Empire, all under this Gobi Desert." ”
"The ancient kingdom of Loulan is also here?" Wei Changqing asked curiously.
Han Peacock nodded and said: "The ancient city of Lop Nur that disappeared in the desert of Xinjiang and Xinjiang is the most mysterious and unknown place in China, which was born at the end of the Tertiary Age and has a history of 2 million years.
The west coast of Luo and Bu Nur is the most prosperous Loulan Empire, where the peacock fairy combs her hair and looks in the mirror every day, so the water of Luo and Bu Nur can be so clear and sweet.
Luo and Bu Nur can be so rich in water and grass, fertile fields, nourishing the Loulan Empire generation after generation of people, time and space flow, the years without a trace, after thousands of years of wind and rain baptism Luo and Bu Nur finally took off her gorgeous clothes, lying in the east of the Taklamakan Desert, leaving to future generations a naked barrenness, as well as her thousands of mysteries and heart-wrenching lamentations.
Born in Luo, Bu Nur of the Loulan Kingdom, from 176 B.C. before the founding of the country, to 630 A.D. extinction, a total of more than 800 years of history, the scope of the Loulan Kingdom from the east near Guyangguan, west to the ancient city of Niya, south to the Altun Mountain, north to Ha, Mi, but, with the passage of time, this kingdom gradually disappeared in the world, why it will disappear, until now is still a mystery. ”
"Which city are we going to now?" Huang Shan asked suddenly.
Qianming said from afar: "It should be the legendary ancient city of Luo and Bunu." ”
"This is the right one!" Huang Shan's eyes became a little dangerous.
Han Peacock chuckled: "I've been to even weirder places, this is a desert after all, I really don't believe that they can leave us." ”
"Boss, look ahead, whether it's a place." At this time, Huang Shan pointed to the convoy road in front.
Han Peacock looked over, and the convoy outside had stopped.
They had been driving for five or six hours, and even had lunch in the car, and in the process, they went around and around, and the car never stopped.
In the desert Gobi, the vehicle can drive for such a long time, it is still very unexpected for Han Peacock, after all, there is no highway here, if you want to let the vehicle continue to go deep into the depths of Luo and Bunu, it is natural to keep exploring the way.
And now they have been driving the car here, which is naturally the credit of Zhang Mei's expedition team.
By the time Han Peacock and the others got out of the car, Zhang Mei had already walked over.
She didn't hide anything, and said directly: "The materials have to be unloaded here, and from here, there is no way to go with you in front." ”
"What about the car?" Huang Shan asked.
Zhang Mei said: "Can only be put here, fortunately our destination is only a dozen kilometers away from here, we need supplies in the future, we can only send people back to transport, now each of us carries a week's worth of supplies, each brings their own, and comes back once a week to replenish in the future, if the supplies are sufficient, we can stay here for a few months." ”
"A few months? Didn't you find a place? Han Peacock asked.
Zhang Mei said with a smile: "We have found some clues, but this needs to be confirmed, you must know that this is a place buried by yellow sand, and if we want to find the disappeared ancient city, we need to spend a lot of effort to excavate." ”
"Where are we in Ro and Bu Nur now?" Han Peacock asked.
Zhang Mei glanced at Han Peacock in surprise and said, "We are about six kilometers northwest of Luo and Bunu. ”
"There's an ancient city in that place?" Han Peacock continued to ask.
Zhang Mei said: "Now that we have arrived at the place, I will not hide it from you, we did find an ancient city there." ”
At this time, Huangshan interjected: "Just now you said that we were six kilometers northwest of Luo and Bu Nur, and we entered from the east of Luo and Bu Nur. ”
Zhang Mei said with a smile: "If you use satellite positioning to see, for five or six hours, most of our time is going around here, if we don't guide the way, if you want to enter here, even if it takes five or six days, you may not arrive." ”
"So powerful?" Huang Shan seemed to ask curiously.
"Okay, let's talk as we go, this is not a good place, now let's unload the supplies first!" Zhang Mei was already a little impatient at this time.
Han Peacock didn't say anything, just waved his hand and asked Huangshan to take them to load supplies.
When everyone had packed their backs, brought enough water, locked their cars, and a group of more than 20 people, they began to climb along a small mountain, which was not high, but only some sand and gravel, so it was very difficult to climb.
When they had crossed the ridge in an hour, the people in front of them stopped at first sight.
"That's the ruins of the ancient city over there, right?" At this time, even Huangshan found an abnormality in a desert not far away.
"This is the ancient city of Luo and Bunu?" Wei Changqing asked.
"It is indeed the ruins of an ancient city, as for whether it is the ancient city of Luo and Bunu, this requires us to excavate and research." I don't know when, Zhang Mei came over.
At this time, Han Peacock, who looked around, said: "This place seems to be very secret, how did you find out?" (To be continued......)
