Chapter 548: A Bigger Secret
"Who could that person be?" Lin Xuan asked with his eyes.
Dekav shook his head: "I don't know, no one knows." The man was mysterious, knew everything we were doing, and could tell us what we were going to do several times. ”
In Xiongba Village, Lin Xuan also had the same feeling, but it was not looming from time to time.
"General Donna said that the secret in the ghost lake involves the secret of the 'Everest flag cloud', and the 'Everest flag cloud' involves the strategy of space warfare, and all the puzzles must be solved step by step to find out the last enemy. So, we made a plan to dive into the ghost lake. Of course, we do not serve any organization or individual, and everything is planned for our original intention. Dekaf's narration is very smooth, but it doesn't make any sense, because Lin Xuan knows that these contents are all before the change of the ghost lake.
What Lin Xuan really wanted to know was what was in the ghost lake, which had almost wiped out the Russian expedition.
The Holy Lake and the Ghost Lake are one of the must-see attractions for tourists arriving in the Ali area.
In fact, the sacred lake Ghost Lake was originally a lake, but due to climate change, the lake retreated and the water level dropped, and it was separated by a narrow hill. There is a river trough connecting the two lakes, and the local people still say that the bottom of the two lakes is connected, if one day the holy lake flows into the ghost lake along the river trough, and the golden fish and blue fish flow at the same time, the water of the ghost lake will become as sweet as the water of the holy lake.
Laang Tso is adjacent to the holy lake of Mapanyongcuo, and the area between the two lakes is the only way to get in and out of Pulan County. Laang Tso Lake is a brackish water lake, which is called "ghost lake" because the water is not drinkable and there are few plants around the lakeshore. According to research, Laang Tso and Ma Pan Yong Tso were once connected, and then due to the drop of the lake level, it was divided into two lakes, and there is still a river between the two lakes, and the water of the holy lake can flow into the ghost lake.
In Tibetan Buddhism, the ghost lake is also regarded as a holy lake, legend has it that Shakyamuni Pudu sentient beings, with rice to relieve the poor believers, the current lake is formed by the accumulation of rice water, therefore, Buddhists often come here to worship, here has gradually become a famous Buddhist holy place. Raang Tso has been left out in the cold compared to Mapanyontso, mainly because of the rumors that have been imposed on it: it is the main gathering place of the Rakshasa kings, where the nine-headed Rakshasa king, who abducted the beautiful Sta from the ancient Tales of the Ramayana, lived. Some people even say that they encounter an unlucky sign by the lake. Another reason is that there are no hot springs around the lake to bathe. In winter, the climate around the lake is cold and the scenery is desolate, and in terms of area alone, it is smaller than Mapanyongcuo, only 70 square kilometers.
It is said that the ghost lake is a windless three-foot wave, a dark red hill by the lake, the color is blurred, and there is a small island in the lake, which is also dark red. Walking to the lake, the sound of waves in my ears, the pebble beach is like a white and bright silver belt, inlaid on the lake.
Laonco leaned tightly on the side of the sacred lake of Mapan Yongco, and to the west of her, sketched a beautiful crescent-shaped lake that was also blue, and the shape of Mapan was like the sun, and their original shape showed a kind of harmony, a kind of extreme state of vajra beauty.
Laang Tso is on a par with Mapan Yongtso, but its fame cannot be compared with that of Ma Pan Yongtso. The area of Laang Tso is small, only 269 square kilometers, and the lake is 4,573 meters above sea level, slightly lower than Mapanyongcuo. In 1906, Swedish geographers tried to measure the depth of Laangcuo after measuring the water depth of Mapanyongcuo, but only the northern end of the lake was fruitless, and its depth remains a mystery to this day.
Due to climate change over the years, the water of Laang Tso Lake can no longer flow out of the lake and is closed into an inland lake. In the past 100 years, the water supply from Mapanyongcuo through the Anga waterway has been intermittent, and the water accumulation area is much less than that of Mapanyongcuo, Laangcuo is experiencing the process of shrinking the lake, the water level of the lake is decreasing, and the salinity of the lake water is increasing, but it is still a large lake with a magnificent landscape, especially as the object of scientific investigation or tourism, and has a very important role in understanding modern climate change.
Laang Tso looks north to Kailash Pochen Peak, and its east, west, and south sides are affected by the dark rocks of the surrounding mountains, and the water color of the lake is darker than that of Mapanyongtso, so people call it "ghost lake". On the shore of the lake beach in the lake area, a number of wave banks formed due to the recent drop in water level surround the lake body layer by layer, showing the process of dynamic changes in the modern climate of the plateau. The first time to update the large number of rare fish biological populations raised in the ghost lake and the special role of the plateau climate and ecological environment, was included in the list of wetlands in China.
The ghost lake Laangcuo is a close neighbor of the holy lake, the scenery is equally beautiful, and the lake water is also intoxicatingly blue, but it was detained as a "ghost lake" and was put into a separate book. Lhanag-TSO (also known as rakshas, 4,574 meters above sea level) is a brackish water lake separated from the sacred lake of fresh water. The first time to update, so the lake water is not drinkable to people and animals, which is probably the origin of the name "ghost lake".
Lin Xuan has been in Xiongba Village for three years, and he has passed through the ghost lake many times, and he has also rummaged through all the ancient and modern materials about the ghost lake, but he has never been able to enter the door.
When the Russian expedition arrived, the secret of the ghost lake was finally revealed.
He hoped to follow this line and reach the heart of the secret.
Dekaaf's reference to Russia's "space war" reminded Lin Xuan of a March 5 report published on the website of Russia's Moscow Times titled "The annexation of Crimea boosts Russia's outer space capabilities."
According to the report, the return of Crimea to Russian rule is a huge boon for the Russian Navy, which ensures the future of the Black Sea Fleet and its home port of Sevastopol. Still, the benefits of the annexation could also help Russia regain the glory of the Soviet space program that had been lost. As an early leader in the field of astronautics, the Soviet Union undertook an impressive program of robotic exploration in outer space. Due to the great distances, such missions require powerful radio parabolic antennas to send and receive commands and data from distant probes.
For these tasks, Soviet space officials built tracking and control equipment on the Crimean peninsula, where the weather was clear and there was little large infrastructure, which reduced radio interference and better reception. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia's space program ceded control of the Crimean outer space communications station to Ukraine, rendering part of its tracking network functional. In the chaotic 90s of the last century, as supply tracking ships built during the Soviet era fell into disrepair, Russia lost more space coverage. In the absence of these strategic assets, Russia can only communicate with spacecraft flying through Russian airspace. The only other option is for NASA to integrate them into the vast U.S. satellite tracking and communications network. However, after annexing Crimea in 2014, Russia has the opportunity to once again improve its communication capabilities with spacecraft and military satellites, and the Russian Defense Ministry has been working to reactivate tracking and control stations on the Crimean peninsula.
The war between the superpowers, from the Cold War to the economic war, to the space war and the outer space war, has escalated to a height unimaginable to ordinary people.
Therefore, if the "Everest flag cloud" on the roof of the world can add bargaining chips to Russia's space war plan, then Russian spies should indeed pursue it and seize this secret at all costs
