Dakhmina jumped over the stream panting, and she stood in front of a dense patch of red tamarix, swearing vigorously in Tajik.

Lin Shan finally rushed over. There is a lack of oxygen on the plateau here, and the activity is a little intense, and his physical strength feels that he can't keep up, and when he jumped into the creek just now, his legs sank so badly that he almost stepped into the water.

Tamarix is also called red willow, its branches are red, the flowering is also red, they are not high, but the branches are soft, silky vines, dense, clusters are connected together to form a shrub. So, once you get in, let alone looking for someone, you may not even be able to find the direction.

This is also the reason why Dahmina stopped, even the most gluttonous foodie, in the face of the insecurity brought by the unknown, will feel inexplicable fear.

"Forget it, go back, and do charity for the wildlings." Lin Shan said.

But Dahmina still stood there, motionless, looking unwilling.

"Let's go, we still have to go up the mountain, and we have to hurry, ten days will pass in a flash." Lin Shan persuaded Dakhmina, "When the boundary survey returns, I will invite you to eat roast mutton every day!" ”

He said yes and pulled Dahmina back to the tent. The two descended the 3203 Heights, passed through the valley, and Dahermina took fresh iceberg snow water from the creek, and then continued to climb towards the unnamed peak to the east.

Lin Shan gained experience, and the two of them began to take turns on duty when camping at night, so that they would be alert whenever there was any wind and grass.

Although the last time the savage carried a sheep, no one can say that he will not take a person away next time.

"Don't worry about that sheep, isn't it said that Bigfoot is? Snatching women, you don't want to become a woman in King Kong, do you? ”

Dachmina laughed when she heard this: "You think I'm so gluttonous? ”

"Then why don't you laugh? Ever since the sheep were robbed, you've been sullen. ”

"Do you have to laugh?"

"It's better to laugh than to cry." Lin Shan said.

"Not necessarily, we'll be at the top tomorrow morning. You say, which side of the mountain will it be? Is it ours, or yours? Dakhmina asked.

"I don't know, Schrödinger's cat. The mountain is there, and the height is there, but without measuring, no one knows how high it is. Lin Shan said.

"Either way, once it's measured, it's only one country. Either you, or me, may never be free to climb this mountain. "Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, my father was an expert in surveying and mapping, he went to the North Pole, he went to Kamchatka, he went to Chukotka, and he also climbed the communist peak in his hometown......"

"Shogun out of the tiger girl, you are also a daughter to inherit your father's business - now what about your father, in Dushanbe (the capital of Tajikistan)?"

Dahemina sighed and didn't speak. Lin Shan seemed to see something, and did not continue to speak.

Early the next morning, the two got up early, put on their instruments and summit bags, and climbed towards the peak of the nameless mountain.

It took them four hours to climb to the top, and unexpectedly, the summit was fairly flat, and there was no such protruding spire at all.

In this case, you have to use a total station.

The two set up the instrument, measured it separately, determined the data, and set the high point. But at this time, there was a problem again, because there was a stone protruding half a meter high at the high point, and the two people quarreled about whether this stone was considered a mountain.

"This stone seems to be moving! Not part of the mountain! Lin Shan checked the foundation of the stone and found that although it had been here for a long time, the bottom of the floating soil did not merge with the rock, and it shook with a slight push.

"At the top of the mountain of more than 3,000 meters, there will be no flying stones. So as long as it's on the top of the mountain, it's part of the mountain. Dakhmina argues.

"You see, I can push it down the hill with all my might." As soon as Lin Shan exerted his strength, the stone really shook.

"Don't push!" Dakhmina shouted, "You're cheating! ”

"Anyway, it's not a mountain...... Lin Shan said and suddenly stopped, he pointed to the side of the stone and said, "Look, what is this?" ”

Dahermina ran over to take a look, and saw many marks of an axe on the stone.

"It's definitely not natural, it's obviously artificial, you see." Lin Shan was stunned at this time.

"No way, there's no one here."

"It's no one, but there are wild people—they robbed us of our meat two days ago—you say, could the so-called wild men be just primitive tribes that have not been discovered? Could this stone be something they made up to be a totem? Look at this line, what it looks like, like a bird, and this ......."

Lin Shan was suddenly stunned as he spoke, because he saw a few symbols.

No, that's not a symbol, it's a few words.

A few Chinese characters, a few Chinese characters that he could read. Not only could he read it, but even Dahemina glanced down at it—

“…… Light - Bright Top? She asked, tilting her neck and staring wide-eyed.

"This is the Bright Peak?" Lin Shan was also stupid.

The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, they are completely stupid.

“…… This – says one thing. Lin Shan finally swallowed and said.

"What's the matter?"

“…… It has been China's sacred territory since ancient times. Lin Shan said.

"You ......," Dahmina laughed, "well, I admit that this stone has been engraved since ancient times, okay?" ”

"Of course." Lin Shan was a little proud.

"Since it has been engraved since ancient times, it means that this stone has been erected on the top of this mountain since ancient times, doesn't it?" Dahemina actually retreated and threw out her own opinion, "It is so large that it cannot be pushed up from the bottom of the mountain, so whether it is physical or historical, this stone has been part of the mountain since ancient times." ”

Dahemina's words were so remarkable that Lin Shan could not refute them.

"So, it's the highest point of the mountain?" With that, Dahemina walked over with the instrument in her hands.

Lin Shan didn't speak, he kept calculating in his heart - the height of the mountain opposite is 3203.23 meters, and the height of the mountain was 3199.98 meters measured by satellite remote sensing before, and just now he and Dahmina chose several locations for preliminary measurement, if you don't count the stone, the current highest point of the mountain is 3202.85 meters - now the visual inspection of the stone is about half a meter, if you add 50 centimeters on the basis of 3202.85 meters, it will become 3203.35 meters!

In this way, the elevation of this mountain will exceed the opposite 3203 heights, which is very unfavorable evidence, and in the future, this "bright peak" will easily be considered part of the ridgeline, if this is the case, half of the slope of this mountain, along with the valley below, will be included in the territory of another country!

Although he and Dahmina were friends, although there were only the two of them on the scene, there was nothing wrong with the stone being counted as the top of the mountain......

But when he looked down at the green valley and looked down at this stone, which he didn't know when and when he had carved Chinese characters, he suddenly felt that if he gave up this mountain to others, it would be an irreparable defect in his life......
