Chapter 18 Bukadaban Peak

Another hour later, the legendary unclimbable Bukadaban Peak, as well as the large glacier that stretches for dozens of miles, finally appeared in our sight. The Peak of Bukatazaka www.biquge.info said to be unclimbable, but it was also after the earthquake in 2001, but in 1992, the Japanese Himalayan mountaineering team had already reached the summit, and it was the first time that mankind has climbed this peak so far.

Bukadaban Peak, also known as Xinqing Peak, means "Bison Ridge" in Uygur language, and is the first peak of the Kunlun Mountains.

The highest peak in the Kunlun mountain system, its altitude is as high as 6,860 meters, located in the middle of the Kunlun Mountains at the eastern end of the Arg Mountain and the west end of Bokarekta Mountain, in the territory of Golmud County, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai Province, is the boundary mountain of Xinjiang and Qinghai.

The Bukada Banfeng is steep and the glaciers are continuous, with an average snow line height of 5,550 meters, a glacier area of 243.6 square kilometers, and 53 glaciers, among which the largest is the Buka Glacier, which is 24.2 kilometers long.

At the same time, there is also a blue "big gem", which is the only freshwater lake in Hoh Xil, and it is also the deepest lake, Sun Lake, a large lake formed by the melting of many glaciers.

Of course, there are other water sources nearby besides Sun Lake, but they are all so small that they can't be called lakes at all, and it's almost the same as streams and pools.

As the convoy got closer and closer to the glacier, I felt more and more the majesty of the Bukadaban Peak, which was high and dangerous, standing like a giant among the many snow-capped mountains, and the smoke on it was filled, making people feel like they had come to a fairyland on earth.

We chose a relatively flat spot and let the convoy stop.

After getting out of the car, a burst of fresh air suddenly penetrated into the wings of the nose, and people couldn't help but take a few more breaths; Looking up again, the clear blue sky is cloudless, as clear as jasper, the picture, the beauty makes people feel so unreal, what a no-man's land Hoh Xili!

Such a beautiful scenery, we should enjoy it, or take pictures, but we don't have this kind of condition at all, so we have to secretly say a pity in our hearts!

Qin Kunlun looked at the surrounding environment, and Zou Mei said, "We have all arrived, why hasn't there been any news from the helicopter?" Could it be that something happened to them? ”

At this moment, two helicopters flew out of the glacier, one after the other, and the pilot apparently spotted us at the first time, so he immediately descended not far in front of us.

We immediately greeted us, and as soon as the pilot got out of the car, Qin Kunlun couldn't wait to ask, "Have you found the whereabouts of that group?" ”

One of the pilots said embarrassedly: "We searched all the nearby glaciers and saw no trace of them, and we suspected that they had gone somewhere else and were not here at all." ”

Li Gao, who was on the side, immediately vetoed: "This is impossible!" Since they went to Zhuo Nai Lake, they must have come to this snow-capped mountain, and only here can be called the Kunlun Mountains in this vicinity. ”

The pilot questioned: "If they really enter the glacier near here, even if people can hide in the glacier, what about their convoy, they will always stay nearby, right?" But in fact, we searched around the neighborhood several times and didn't find their convoy either. ”

"That's right." Li Gao looked more irritable, he paced back and forth, and asked himself: "But here is the only Kunlun Mountains nearby, if they don't come here, where else can they go?" Could it be that it is a sound and a false shot? ”

Qin Kunlun was very calm at this moment, he looked at the glacier in front of him, and guessed: "Don't panic, if you don't look for the convoy, it doesn't mean that the convoy is not here, it is very likely that they camouflaged the convoy with snow." ”

I agree with Qin Kunlun's guess, with my understanding of the third uncle, it is impossible for him not to hide all the traces he left behind when he knows that someone is following him.

Li Gao hurriedly said: "What Elder Qin said is very right, since this is the case, then let's go around here now to look around." After saying that, Li Gaoge gave the other special police an order to search the convoy.

Qin Kunlun immediately reminded: "Their convoy is most likely hiding in a certain canyon of the glacier, and if you ask people to look for it along the glacier line, they should find something." ”

Li Gao agreed, and asked the convoy to divide into two groups, one to the left and one to the right, and began to search all the way along the vicinity of the glacier, and two helicopters immediately joined the search team.

I always have to find a topic to talk about, and this time it was Qin Kunlun who was the first to speak, and he asked us: "In your opinion, how long does it take to reach the foot of Bukadaban Peak from here?" ”

I looked at the glacier and replied, "At least one day and one night, and if it's going well." ”

Qin Kunlun shook his head and said: "I calculated the time gap between us and the third uncle, if I am not mistaken, they should have arrived here at about two o'clock in the morning last night, if it would take twenty-four hours just to enter the depths of the glacier, then they should still be on the road now." ”

After a pause, Qin Kunlun continued: "If they are still on their way into the mountain at the moment, then when the helicopter searches here in the morning, it is impossible not to find their traces, so I am sure that they will definitely enter the depths of the glacier before nine o'clock in the morning." All that counts, the time it took them to enter the mountain was seven hours at best. ”

If you follow normal logical reasoning, Qin Kunlun's algorithm is correct, but he also ignored one thing, so I said: "Don't forget, Third Uncle, this is the second time they have entered the depths of the glacier, even if the time is twice as fast, it is not a very strange thing." ”

A route that has never been trodden before, and a route that has been walked by people, are completely different things, especially when climbing a snow-capped mountain, and there is probably a humble and fragile glacier that you will have to spend most of the day exploring the way.

Qin Kunlun quickly reacted, and he suddenly said, "I forgot about this incident. He didn't know what else came to his mind, and continued a little insidiously: "If that's the case, it seems that we don't have the need to enter the glacier anymore, so it's better to stay here and wait for the rabbit, what do you think?" ”

I said seriously, "What you said is good, but the premise is that you have to make sure that they return the way they came, otherwise, it will be empty." ”

The mark on the side also interjected and said: "Lao Yang is right, the old fox of the third uncle is very cunning, knowing that there is someone behind him, I think he will not return the same way nine times out of ten, Lao Qin, you should dispel the idea of waiting for the rabbit as soon as possible."

No matter how you listen to Biaozi's words, there is a smell of schadenfreude, but Qin Kunlun was not angry at all, he sneered, and said with confidence: "As long as the third uncle's group is really here, whether they return the same way or find another shortcut, this time, they will not be able to escape from the palm of my hand." ”

Biaozi was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "I said Lao Qin, it's all here, don't brag, I'll be honest with you, compared to you, the third uncle is definitely the same level of cunning as you, don't underestimate him." ”

When Li Gao said these words with confidence before, I felt that something was wrong, and now that Qin Kunlun said the same, then things must be strange.

With a tentative tone, I asked Qin Kunlun: "Old Qin, we are not outsiders, you just give me an honest explanation, in dealing with the third uncle, do you still have a killer weapon that has not been revealed?" ”

Qin Kunlun didn't sell it this time, he said very simply: "So far, I'm not afraid to tell you, yesterday I have already made a request to the above, let them send ten armed helicopters to support today, it is estimated that at this time, it is almost there." ”

Ten gunships! What is this concept? Biaozi and I gasped.

Qin Kunlun didn't seem satisfied with the level of surprise we had, and he continued: "Not only that, but I also transferred a regiment of armed forces from Golmud, half of them stayed in Wudaoliang to garrison, and half of them supported us. (To be continued.) )
