"Since the temple is surrounded by intermittent hot springs, not only does the spring spew out high-temperature, high-pressure, acidic boiling water containing high concentrations of sulfate, up to 200 degrees Celsius, but also flammable gas erupts from the spring, and since we found the temple in 1957, we have not found a way to bypass these springs and enter the temple. Until last month, when we monitored the laws of the magnetic field at the two poles of the earth, we found that the magnetic field at the two poles of the earth was gradually weakening, and with the weakening of the magnetic field, it seems that the energy of the eruption of the spring is also weakening, and the interval between the two eruptions is gradually increasing, according to our estimation of the data of the eruption time pattern of the spring, after 20 days, the interval between the two eruptions of this intermittent hot spring will reach the maximum. Cao Xueqin explained, then unnaturally cast her eyes on the large glass fish tank that Jiao Shou and Sima Nanyi had just lifted out, lowered her voice, and asked tentatively: "Comrade Jiao Shou, if you say that this corpse is related to Nestor Adolf, then you haven't found some clues?" It is very likely that this German ** party has already visited Inner Earth and then returned to the surface world through another exit from Inner Earth. ”

"Road maps, maps, treasure maps, etc., the Dongba paper notebook found on the corpse, there is no record, and even except for the time of the group photo on the photo, there is no information about the time and authenticity in the notebook. I'm still sure of that. Sima Nanyi took Cao Xueqin's question and replied.

"Yes, there is no map route, except for the notebook of specimens, which are all kinds of strange specimens in glass bottles. To talk about these things, I estimate that the earth, to be exact, the surface of the earth, should not have these things. In the simplest and most intuitive way, do you see the specimen shelf on the side of the outer wall of the inner room? On the third floor of the shelf, from top to bottom, the first specimen of the glass bottle, near the door of the back room, contained two elephants, at least five banana trees, and a small waterhole! Jiao Shou pointed to the specimen shelf with great interest and showed off.

At this time, Kun Misha, who was standing in front of the specimen shelf, happened to follow Jiao Shou's words and saw the "Xiuzhen Fingernail Covered Elephant" on the very edge, and then pointed to the glass specimen bottle with a smile on his face, and said in a childish childish voice: "Sister Xueqin, Brother Jiao Shou is right, this glass bottle does contain two elephants, at least 5 banana trees, and a small pool, and this elephant is still alive." As soon as he finished speaking, Kun Misha immediately lay down on the specimen shelf like a child who had seen a novelty toy, and stretched his head over as if to see everything in the specimen bottle. We all looked at his back, and there was an indescribable envy, maybe this is the advantage of being young, full of infinite curiosity about anything unknown.

After a few seconds, Kun Misha turned his back to us again, pointed to the specimen bottle, and excitedly shouted, "Look! Look! This adorable elephant is giving birth! The baby's head has come out! ”

I'm going, I'm obviously calling everyone to come today, to explain the purpose and task of our trip to everyone clearly, and to exchange effective information with each other, why has it become the "Animal World" program now, and even children are watching elephants give birth to babies. I hurriedly used a stern voice to stop me: "Kun Misha, now we are all in a meeting, you have obediently listened, those strange specimens, you can look at them with your brother Jiao Shou and Brother Sima Nanyi, maybe you can still exchange academic questions." As for elephants giving birth to babies, don't look at it, it's not suitable for children, when will you become a real man, you will understand! ”

When Kun Misha heard my words, his face was full of reluctance, and finally he obediently sat back next to Jiao Shou and said, "I'm a man now!" My dad said that. He also said that as a man, he must finish all the work at home, and take care of the ploughing cattle in the children's family! ”

"Kun Misha, since you are already a man, how about you help your brother take care of the sheep tomorrow, the sheep in Xinjiang are the same as the cattle in your south, it is very important!" Jiao Shou made a parental appearance and joked with Kun Misha.

Kun Misha, with round eyes, looked at me, as if he wanted to turn to me for help, and asked me how he should answer Jiao Shou's words, and I motioned for him not to worry, and not to answer. Then, I patted Luo Gang next to me on the shoulder, and Luo Gang immediately understood: "I said Teacher Jiao, you too, you know that Kun Misha is a little hairy child, and you still tease him, where do we get the sheep on the farm?" If you can't find the sheep tomorrow, let Kun Shami take care of you, haha! ”

I also followed Luo Gang's words and teased Teacher Jiao, "Teacher Jiao, you and Sima are also capable people in biology, you look at when Sima Nanyi is very serious, why are you so poor, if you really become a teacher, it is estimated that students will not learn anything!" Having the opportunity to teach Kun Misha more, this child is very talented, especially when it comes to insects and plants. Also, don't make him angry, otherwise if he is in a hurry to put a poisonous Gu on your next head, you will lose more than you gain. ”

At this time, Jiao Shou looked embarrassed and couldn't speak, so he just sat opposite us and smirked.

After quelling the joke, I picked up the military map, pinned it to the blackboard with a thumbtack, and pointed to the map while announcing the route of this mission to everyone, "Our mission is from the Milan farm in Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang, and finally to the vicinity of Mount Kailash in Pulan County, Tibet, the straight-line distance between the two points has reached more than 2,000 kilometers, and there are Kunlun Mountains, Tanggula Mountains, Hengduan Mountains and other high mountains in the middle, and there are hundreds of kilometers of uninhabited land such as Ali area in the middle, so the straight-line route is not feasible. And it's dangerous. Therefore, according to the actual topographic trend of the plateau and some ancient roads in the mountains, rivers and valleys, we have drawn up such a route, which is about 3,100 kilometers and is expected to take about 8-12 days. First of all, starting from Milan Farm, crossing the desert, first arriving at Golmud, crossing the pass of Yuzhu Peak in Kunlun Mountain, arriving at the ice-free spring to replenish water resources, using 1-2 days to cross Hoh Xili, arriving at the Tuotuo River in Tanggula Mountain Town, along the Tuotuo River to the south over Bana Mumu Peak, bypassing Nuoribana Bao Peak to Rongrenma Supply and Recuperate. From Rongrenma, pass through Nagqu and Bangor to Serinco, and then follow the ancient river valley road from Serinco to Pulan County. In Pulan County, we resupplied water and food resources before setting off for the destination of this mission, the temple of King Loulan. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, Luo Gang asked suspiciously: "Are you sure you want to cross the pass of Yuzhu Peak in Kunlun Mountain from Golmud to the unfrozen spring?" First, if you want to go to the Yuzhu Peak Pass of Kunlun Mountain, you have to enter the valley of death in Kunlun Mountain, also known as the Nalengrad Gorge, which is known as the "Gate of Hell"; second, after successfully crossing the pass of Kunlun Mountain, you have to cross the dead no man's land full of quicksand, Hoh Xili, to reach the ice-free spring. It's okay to say that Hoh Xili, but the Nalengrad Gorge is a place where there is no return, and I have heard too many legends about the death of the Nalengle Gorge in the past ten years in Xinjiang. Are you sure this route is feasible? ”

I took out a pen and drew a horizontal line mark on the north side of the pass of Yuzhu Peak in Kunlun Mountain, and then explained, "The total length of the Golengle Gorge is 105 kilometers, the width is about 33 kilometers, the area is about 3,500 square kilometers, and the altitude is 3,200-4,000 meters. Therefore, if you don't go deep into the canyon, it's still safer. ”

"Captain Leng Lingshan, what is our means of transportation? Camel? But if you want to go to a plateau or a high altitude area, camels are not frost-resistant, right? After all, it's summer, and camel hair is scarce after all. At this time, Abramaimai, who was standing on the side, asked.

"On this mission, our camel comrades will not go, don't we have three jeeps and four trucks when we come to the Milan farm? Let's go by car! I pointed to the truck in the yard outside the window, then glanced at Cao Xueqin again, and motioned for her to continue with some information about the mission.

At this time, Cao Xueqin no longer blushed, and her mood was much calmer, she walked to the edge of the blackboard, cleared her throat, and said, "Our next tasks are mainly the following points. ”

"First, for the next two days from tomorrow, we need to unload water, food, equipment and other supplies from trucks, and then redistribute them and store them separately on three trucks according to the plan. Because 2 trucks and 1 jeep were left for the transport regiment. The remaining 2 jeeps and 2 trucks were used by us. ”

"Second, according to the information and photos in your files, I have roughly estimated your figure, and tomorrow morning I will send you the one-piece expedition suits and special military boots specially made by the 5007 Institute according to the mission environment, and give you training on the use and principles of the equipment you carry." Saying this, Cao Xueqin moved her gaze to Jiao Shou, and then said to Jiao Shou with an embarrassed face, "Comrade Jiao Shou, given your current figure and weight, there is obviously a big difference from your file when you first arrived at the Milan farm three years ago, so it is estimated that your one-piece expedition suit will not be able to wear." So you need to prepare some cold and warm clothing separately, and finally have waterproof, similar to otter skin jacket and leather pants or something. After speaking, Cao Xueqin secretly covered her mouth and smiled, as if she was taking revenge on Jiao Shou for spoofing one of her corpses just now.

When Jiao Shou heard her say this, his face turned red unnaturally, probably because he was a little shy because he had doubled his weight on the Milan farm in the past three years, and just wanted to say something, he swallowed it back stiffly.

"Thirdly, this mission is absolutely confidential, but out of consideration for everyone's human care, you can use the phone in the Milan farm for two days, call or send telegrams to your home, but you can't reveal any information about this mission. As for the phone number? You can just dial 000-5007, and then there will be a special operator over there to connect you to the number you need to call or record the telegram information for you, and send the telegram as quickly as possible. At the same time, you need to write a letter to your family tonight, to be precise, a suicide note, write down the things and people you want to entrust, and finally write the local payment and the recipient on the envelope, and hand it over to me tomorrow morning for safekeeping. I will hand over these letters to squad leader Zhang of the transport regiment, and he will take them back to Jiayuguan at the same time, and our comrades who stayed in Jiayuguan will bring them back to the 5007 Research Institute for safekeeping. If we do not contact the organization within 180 days of leaving the Milan farm, then your families will receive this letter, as well as the condolence money of the national martyrs and some later guarantees. Cao Xueqin said calmly, "Similarly, I, Captain Leng, and Kun Misha also wrote this letter before setting off from Jiayuguan, I hope you can understand." ”

"Fourth, from now on, we will truly become a team, a comrade-in-arms in the trenches, life and death together, never abandoned! I hope that everyone can get along harmoniously, and be more united to complete this task, dedicate themselves to the party and the country, and rebel against the people. Speaking of this, Cao Xueqin clenched her fists impassionedly and raised them to her chest, like a heroine. Everyone was also infected by her momentum, and everyone had a fire in their eyes, a fire of hope.
