Chapter 850: The Desert Meets the Army!
A day later, Lop Nur!
All the shadows were gathered, all the equipment was ready, Wolf Yan knelt on one knee, the notebook in front of him had all the information of Lop Nur, and the compass in Jiang Yu's hand was identifying the direction.
"Captain, this is a satellite image of Lop Nur." Wolf Smoke opened one of them: "This one is the weirdest." ”
This photo was taken by a satellite launched by the NASA of country M, and Lop Nur resembles one of the human ears, not only with ear rings, ear holes, and even earlobes. Like the ears of the earth!
A huge ear traverses Lop Nur, a situation that some scientists have explained was mainly caused by floods from the southern slope of the Tien Shan 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.
"Captain, we crossed from the north, all the way to the Gobi Desert, and there is not even half a figure here." Jiang Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Is the relic we are looking for the ancient kingdom of Loulan?" ”
"No, Loulan has been publicly excavated, and what we are going to is an unknown ruin, and there are only sporadic records in File Zero, which is similar to what Zheng Youxiao heard."
Jiang Han frowned after speaking, although what they were looking for was not Loulan Kingdom, but the disappearance of Loulan was the same as the disappearance of a small mountain village in the last century, it was the same disappearance, the same bizarre, and the same no reason!
No natural disasters, no natural disasters!
Red Snake seemed to see Jiang Han's thoughts, and said: "Captain, does the disappearance of Loulan have anything to do with the star wheel we are looking for, if so, then the frequent disappearances of the whole village in the eighties may be the reappearance of the star wheel." ”
Red Snake's words silenced everyone!
If the demise of Loulan is also related to the Star Wheel, it makes sense that the ruins are also related to the Star Wheel!
The ancient kingdom of Loulan is a small country on the ancient Silk Road, located in the west of Lop Nur, at the hub of the Western Regions, the scope of the kingdom from the vicinity of Guyangguan in the east, to the ancient city of Niya in the west, to the Altun Mountain in the south, and to Hami in the north. It occupies an extremely important position on the ancient Silk Road. Today, only the remains of ruins remain.
The ancient kingdom of Loulan was founded before 176 B.C., but suddenly and mysteriously disappeared in 630 A.D., with a history of more than 800 years.
Later, it was discovered and excavated by a European, and then the ancient corpse of Princess Loulan, which caused a sensation in the world, was found in the early eighties of the last century, the skin of the ancient corpse was reddish-brown, and it was slightly elastic, the facial contours were very obvious, the eyes were large and deep, the bridge of the nose was high and narrow, and the chin was pointed and upturned. Body skin nails are well preserved.
She had a thin face, a pointed nose, sunken eye sockets, and brown hair in a shawl. He was wrapped in a sheepskin, a woolen blanket, pinned with sharpened branches on the edge of the blanket on his chest, a sheepskin on his lower body, a pair of shoes made of fur on his feet, and a felt hat on his head, and two goose feathers on the hat.
This ancient corpse was confirmed to exist four thousand years ago, four thousand years ago, in 630 AD, if you calculate, Tang Zhenguan four years, Tang was the heyday of the three major sects, and the three major clans were escorted together under the holy car!
Such a coincidence could never be just a simple coincidence, Jiang Han knew in his heart that Lop Nur, Loulan, there must have been a major event in the sect family more than 4,000 years ago, so that the three major scrolls appeared, and then the three major sects parted ways.
Lop Nur used to be the largest lake in the arid region of Northwest China, with a lake surface of 12,000 square kilometers, and still reached 500 square kilometers at the beginning of the last century.
It is this abundant fish fat Lop Nur, but later it became a vast desert, the reason for which no one knows, some scientific researchers believe that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau 7 to 80,000 years ago rapid uplift, Lop Nur migrated from south to north, aridification gradually intensified, and finally led to the drying up of the entire lake. But this explanation is not convincing.
Over the years, there have been people who have been studying the peculiar topography of Lop Nur, including the Ear of the Earth, the disappearance of Loulan, and the strange places that prevail in the local area!
This mysterious place has its own dangerous business card, first, the only remaining plants in that area are all in a state of decay, and second, the people who enter that area are either dead or crazy! And the image of the Pisces jade pendant was found from that mysterious area!
No one knows where this image was found, and since then many Pisces jade pendants have flooded the market, which is extremely mysterious!
At this time, the gopher looked around, scolded the place, all the way to see only a green landscape, and after coming here, there was only a weak satellite signal, all mobile phone signals disappeared completely, and the contact with the outside world was equivalent to being interrupted.
No wonder there are not even half tourists after entering here, this area is not within the scope of travel agencies at all!
A gust of wind blew, and the sandy wind slapped on everyone's faces, painful and astringent, Jiang Han drew a map, which was the perennial accident area drawn by asking the locals before coming, and this area can be called a no-man's land.
They are now standing on the edge of no man's land, and beyond that is a dangerous place, and no one dares to guarantee what will happen.
Woo...... At this moment, the yellow sand was rolling behind them, cars were rushing, everyone looked at each other, and the sudden arrival of the convoy came in full gear, which attracted their attention.
"Hey, you're here for an adventure too?" One of the people in the lead car lowered the window, revealing his distinctive eyes.
The gopher snorted, it is not a Chinese person, and this alone is alarming!
There were a total of six cars, and there were three to five people in each car, each wearing a uniform camouflage uniform, and they were looking at Jiang Han and his party curiously, and the person in the lead jumped out of the car and came over spontaneously: "Hello." ”
"Hello." Wolf Smoke put away his notebook and acted as a diplomatic ambassador to everyone: "You are also here to explore. ”
Clever! Jiang Han knew that Wolf Yan had always been calm and had excellent psychological quality, and he would never show any traces in front of these people, especially if he used the word very appropriately, which showed that they were also an expedition team!
"And ma'am, admire." The man took out his passport: "My name is Grove, these are the people from our institute, and you are also here for that mysterious place?" ”
"Hahaha, okay, then we have company, take care of each other along the way." The gopher said with a haha.
Grove smiled, at this time, all the people of the vehicle behind him got out of the car, all ready to go, someone once said that the vehicle could not drive into this area, the weight of the car was more likely to sink into the sand, and it was certain to die!
All the vehicles can only abandon the car and walk here, and then it is all up to their own physical strength and willpower.
