Gao Chao listened to Xia Qing's words, couldn't help frowning, and said: "What you said has a certain truth, the country was indeed not rich at that time, and it lacked experience in many things, so the country may not be equipped with special protective measures, but ......"

He looked at Xia Qing and continued: "But the Soviets were very experienced and powerful at that time, if they cooperated with the staff of the 101 Institute, wouldn't they provide protective equipment for the Chinese?" ”

Xia Qing looked at Gao Chao, and had to admit that Gao Chao's reasoning was very logical.

So she thought for a while and said: "If the Soviets had protective clothing, they would definitely provide it to the staff of the 101 Institute, but we have never found any similar equipment in this underground facility, which has to be said to be somewhat suspicious, as you said, the Soviets are very experienced in the field of nuclear weapons, and it is impossible for them to cheat and desert on the issue of uranium mining, so I think, maybe this uranium mine is not uranium mine in the ordinary sense, maybe it is a little different from the uranium mine we know." ”

"Oh?" Gao Chao was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the difference?" Isn't uranium just uranium? ”

Xia Qing said: "Although I don't know very well, I know that naturally formed uranium ore is not so radioactive, and the uranium ore mined will not cause great damage to the human body, but you have also seen that the uranium ore here is much more radioactive than ordinary uranium ore, so that in the sky over the entire valley, there will be a phenomenon similar to the aurora cloud, so at first I thought that this may be because the whole valley is a closed space, so it leads to the formation of radon after a large amount of uranium material half-life." So much so that the intensity of radiation is greatly increased. Just inhale or approach here. It will be exposed to a lethal amount of radiation, resulting in the death of a person or animal in a short period of time. ”

Xia Qing carefully explained to Gao Chao and the fat man, but the two of them basically didn't understand much, Xia Qing didn't stop, but continued: "But now my thoughts have changed again, the truth may not be what I imagined, the radiation here may not be a fatal threat to living organisms." ”

She spoke, looking out of the mine. He continued: "I think the radiation here is very special, if the experienced Soviets did not take any protective measures, it means that maybe the nuclear radiation here is not like the nuclear radiation we usually know and understand, it is simply a kind of nuclear radiation that is harmless to the human body, but it has strong radioactivity, and can even ionize air molecules, thus forming an aurora cloud in an ordinary environment, I have to say, this is simply amazing." ”

looked at Xia Qing's face with emotion. The taste in the hearts of Gao Chao and the fat man is really not something that can be described in words.

For the two people who thought they were going to die just now. They don't know who to believe now, because Xia Qing's views are constantly changing, so they are really unsure, whether they should be happy or sorry now, whether they should laugh or be sad.

Xia Qing also noticed some emotional changes in the two of them, at least on the faces of the two of them, there was absolutely no relaxed feeling.

So Xia Qing couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, only coughed dryly twice, and said: "Actually, you two don't have to be so nervous, this time my opinion should be correct, because I have been paying attention to my physical state all along, if it is really a person who has suffered from strong nuclear radiation, most of them will have some dizziness and vomiting, but I feel very good now, even better than when I was on the ground, this may be because the altitude here is relatively low, the oxygen content is also much higher, and the humidity is also very suitable, So ......"

She suddenly smiled apologetically, "So you two believe in me again, and we will definitely get out of here alive." ”

Xia Qing's biggest advantage is that she knows herself very well and understands every characteristic of herself, so she knows when and in what way to say what kind of words to achieve the best effect.

So the smile she had just apologized for had already touched Gao Chao and the fat man.

Gao Chao only smiled bitterly and said: "If it's like you said, of course, it's the best, but I haven't lived enough." ”

The fat man sighed and said, "Seriously, I feel like I'm starting to go numb, as if I'm in the sky for a while, and then I'm on the ground, in short, I have experienced what it means to have a big ups and downs, which is not as good as dying." ”

Gao Chao shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, none of us can die......"

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Qing again, and said, "But seriously, Xia Qing, if this place is really like what you said, since there is high-energy nuclear radiation, but it is harmless to the human body, this is too unscientific, right?" Is there such a thing in this world? ”

Xia Qing said helplessly: "It's not easy to say, I don't know much about nuclear radiation, but as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be such an example in the world......"

She sighed and continued: "Actually, according to general logic, since the nuclear radiation here can ionize air molecules to produce aurora clouds, then it should cause radiation damage to the human body, but this is not the case, so ......"

Xia Qing shook his head and said, "So in your words, this is indeed very unscientific. ”

The fat man was also helpless on the side, and said: "If you want me to say, let's not think so much about it now, let's continue to play our greatest advantage!" ”

Gao Chao squinted at the fat man and said, "What advantage?" ”

The fat man smiled bitterly: "Let's go." ”

Indeed, their greatest advantage is to go.

The three of them finally ended such a discussion, and the result was that they were all temporarily reassured, so Gao Chao once again took the lead, leading Xia Qing and the fat man towards the depths of the mine.

It was dark in the tunnel, and they groped their way through the darkness with only two headlamps.

The superb injury is still painful, and the pain will always make people irritable, but the pain will also make people sober.

Gao Chao knew very well what they were in now, and there was only one way left in front of them.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly, not to mention what the outcome of this entry into the Pamir would be, and not to think about their life and death, just to say that the questions in front of him were already too many to suffocate him.

From the ancient city of Yinshan to the present, there are only more and more questions, but they have never really been clarified, but fortunately, these questions are like pearls strung on a red thread, and they can still be connected little by little.

Gao Chao was thinking like this, but the fat man behind him suddenly whispered: "Old Gao, look at the wall in front of you, is there a box?" ”

As he spoke, the fat man shone his headlamp at the wall in front of him.

Sure enough, the fat man's eyes were still reliable, and they found that there was indeed a box there, and it was a very familiar one.
