Of course, some people think that the so-called "underground kingdom" is pure absurdity. However, if this "mystery" can be solved, mankind will surely enter a real "new world". In order to persuade mortals to accept this view, only some circumstantial evidence can be produced at present, and direct evidence cannot be produced immediately, because going deep into the underground of the plateau requires the imperial court to take the lead and mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources to drill.

For this reason, mankind began two major feats in the 60s of the 20th century, one is the American moon landing, and the other is the deep-sea drilling plan proposed by the United States. IN 1957, AMERICAN SCIENTISTS W.H. Munch and H.H. Hess proposed to use deep-sea boreholes to cross the Moho surface to study the material composition of the mantle, which was known as the "MOHOLE". The program was tested off the Gulf of California in 1961 and then drilled basalt off the west coast of Mexico.

In 1964, the Scripps Oceanographic Institution and other five units jointly initiated the formation of the "Joint Ocean Agency for Deep Earth Sampling" (JOIDES), and proposed a deep-sea drilling plan, and in 1965, the Black Sea Platform on the east coast of the United States was successfully tested. In June 1966, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography received a mission from the American Science Foundation to prepare a deep-sea drilling program (DSDP) for shallow sampling, technically under the direction of JOIDES. The drillship Gloma Challenger, which has dynamic positioning equipment, was responsible for the drilling.

In August 1968, the Gloma Challenger made its maiden voyage to Mexico, marking the start of the deep-sea drilling program. It completed a three-phase drilling program in five and a half years. At the same time, a world is discovered that makes people unthinkable. There is no sunlight here, and the lava vents of the volcanoes at the bottom of the sea make the surface boiling and scorching. It is this special environment that has created many of the most bizarre underwater creatures, such as a 6-foot-long bug covered with red blood vessels, but it has no digestive organs; The blind white crab and the short-legged honeycomb shrimp have an incredible ability to discern the right direction for warmth and foraging by feeling. The enclosed environment in which these deep-sea xenomorphs live is completely different from the non-independent ecosystems of other species on Earth. They even found archaea...... That is one of the current hot spots in biogeochemistry research. The so-called archaea are bacteria that lived in a special ecological environment in ancient times, and their living habits and chemical composition are very special. It is suitable for living in high temperatures, high salt and hypoxic environments. The cell wall does not contain peptidoglycan; The lipids of the cell membrane are unlike any other living organism; RNA polymerase and a protein in ribosomes are similar to eukaryotic cells but different from prokaryotic cells. They may be representative of ancient bacteria in the early days of the formation of the primitive earth, maintaining their ancient form and parting ways with other bacteria very early. Therefore, some people believe that the common ancestor of life, Cenancestor, is a protoorganism based on the "Cenancestor" life evolution tree constructed by parallel homologous genes.

Protozoa produce two branches in the process of evolution, one is prokaryotes such as bacteria and archaea, and the other is prokaryotes, the direct ancestor of the most primitive eukaryotes, probably an unusually large prokaryotic organism with an endomembrane system like endoplasmic reticulum and a primitive microfibrillary system formed by the inner folds of the plasma membrane, capable of deformation and phagocytosis. Later, a part of the endomembrane system surrounds the chromatin, so the most primitive nucleus is formed. The phosphate rocks of the Tuo Formation in the Weng'an area of Guizhou, China, contain perfectly preserved fossils of multicellular organisms, which provide direct evidence for solving the key problems of the evolution of complex multicellular organisms. The phosphate rocks of the Tuo Formation in the Weng'an area were deposited about 600 million years ago, which was the period when complex multicellular organisms began to flourish. As early as the 90s of the 20th century, scientists reported red algae fossils, early animal embryo fossils, and cnidial animal fossils similar to early corals in the Weng'an biota. The interpretation of these fossils has been debated, with some scientists suggesting that the embryonic fossils of the Weng'an biota may be single-celled eukaryotes or even bacteria. Later, scientists stumbled upon a large number of well-preserved fossils in Franceville, Gabon, which were estimated to be 2.1 billion years old, according to the sediments around them. These rare ancient fossils are between 10 and 12 centimeters long, which can be called "large fossils", and scientists believe that they can neither be prokaryotes nor single-celled eukaryotes.

In the subsequent evolutionary process, bacteria and archaea first evolved in different directions, and then prokaryotes ingested a single archaea and replaced the host's RNA genome with the DNA of the archaea to produce eukaryotes...... Finally, the ...... of the Spirit of All Things Person. From an evolutionary point of view, if the age of the earth is compared to a year, the original life was born around March 20, and humans appeared on the earth around 7 p.m. on December 31.

Archaea can not only exist under extreme conditions such as high temperature, strong acid, alkaline conditions, high salinity, and hypoxia of magmatic geothermal heat, but also survive in ordinary marine environments. One of the most heat-resistant strains of these bacteria has the highest reproduction rate at 105°C and can proliferate even at up to 113°C. Deep-sea extreme thermophilic and methanogenic bacteria are of great interest because they are located near the roots of the tree of the evolutionary system of life, and a closer look at them may help us understand how the world's earliest cells survived. As a result of the remarkable results achieved since the implementation of the plan, the Soviet Union, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Japan and other countries have joined JOIDES, and the deep-sea drilling program has entered a new era of international cooperation, that is, the International Collaborative Phase of Ocean Drilling (IPOD), also known as the "International Ocean Drilling Program". The IPOD was the fourth phase of the deep-sea drilling program, which continued with the DSDP voyage and number, and in December 1975 the 45th voyage began the drilling activities of the International Ocean Drilling Program, focusing on the composition, structure and evolution of the oceanic crust.

Many of the discoveries of deep-sea drilling are of far-reaching significance. In particular, it confirms that there have been more than one regional or global fortuitous event in geological history. and the Great Flood and the end of the world described in the Tanakh are enough to form a chain of evidence. These events occurred in a very short period of time, caused drastic environmental changes, and are preserved in the sedimentary record. Deep-sea drilling data provide evidence of these changes, such as the Mediterranean drying event and the end-Cretaceous extinction event, which laid the foundation for today's paleooceanography. However, deep-sea drilling has also proved that the reality is much more complex than originally envisaged. No accretive wedges of sufficient scale have been found in the Japan Trench and the Mariana Trench. Facts have forced alternative explanations, and a model of "crustal trolling" or "tectonic erosion" has been proposed. At such active margins, sediments penetrate into the mantle with plates, and the continental crust is deflected downward by subduction of the oceanic crust, often thinning by subcrustal erosion.

At the same time, it was the United States and the Soviet Union competing for hegemony, and in the 70s of the last century, the Soviet Union carried out a huge continental scientific deep drilling project, and its Kola ultra-deep drilling hole reached a depth of 12,262 meters, and gold-rich rocks were found near a depth of 9,000 meters. In 1987-14, Germany implemented a world-famous program that found a large amount of ore-bearing thermal brine below 8,000 meters, with strong modern geological processes. Another halophilic bacterium has been discovered, which can grow and multiply in extreme geosalt environments, especially in natural salt lakes and solar evaporation salt ponds. According to the osmotic potential principle, cells in a high-salt solution will lose more water and become dehydrated cells. Halophilic bacteria, on the other hand, can produce large amounts of endosoloids or retain the means of obtaining solutes from the outside to sustain themselves, and the Japanese are not far behind.

Similarly, as early as 20 years ago, scientists and engineering and technical experts in China's reorganized geoscience community proposed that scientific drilling methods should be used to conduct geoscience research, and began to carry out preliminary data collection and information research work. According to the international geoscience community, there are three world-class scientific drilling sites of global significance in China, namely the Roof of the World, the Great Bieshulu Ultra-High Pressure Metamorphic Zone and the Altun Fault. Unfortunately, due to the lack of research on the roof of the world and the Altun fault, the conditions for scientific drilling in the short term are not available, so China's first continental scientific deep drilling was selected in the Dabieshulu ultra-high pressure metamorphic zone.

The so-called ultra-high pressure metamorphic rock strata are the rock strata that were originally on the surface of the earth subducted down to the depths of the mantle due to the movement of the earth's crust hundreds of millions of years ago, metamorphized under the action of high temperature and high pressure, and then returned to the surface from the ground in a short time. The discovery of this special rock formation is recognized as one of the major breakthroughs in the field of earth science research since the plate theory was proposed. After more than ten years of extensive investigation and demonstration by Chinese and foreign geoscientists, it was unanimously agreed to carry out scientific deep drilling in Maobei Village, Donghai County, northern Jiangnan. On September 27, 1999, the State Development Planning Commission approved the proposal for the establishment of a scientific drilling project in Chinese mainland, and agreed to carry out a scientific drilling project of a 5,000-meter borehole in Donghai County, Jiangnan Province.

On June 25, 2001, at the scientific drilling site of Maobei Village, Donghai County, Jiangnan Province, the high derrick began to roar, and the first scientific drilling well of the scientific drilling project in Chinese mainland was officially drilled. On March 8, 2005, the first well of the company successfully drilled to 5,158 meters underground in the hard crystalline rock. In the zircon of different lithologies in the 5000-meter main hole of scientific drilling in Chinese mainland, the combination of quartz and ultra-high-pressure mineral inclusions is prevalent, and the same discovery is generally made in zircon of different lithologies in the area of 3800 square kilometers and in multiple 4001000-meter deep satellite holes, indicating that there have been spectacular geological events in the Sulu area in the continental crust with a huge amount of material deep subduction to the mantle below 100 kilometers. Wouldn't the surface rocks form cavities on such a huge scale of 100 kilometers up and down? Wouldn't it bring the plants and seawater on the surface into the hole? For this reason, many people believe that structures at a depth of 5,000 to 10,000 meters below the plateau cannot be simply understood as solid like ordinary stones.

In fact, the international community has always believed that given that China's underground drilling has been kept secret, it is likely that the roof of the world has been drilled through to the dark regions. Yes, based on the above scientific and technological achievements, I believe that since the cow-shaped area depicted in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is not on the ground, it is likely to be five kilometers below the surface of the roof of the world and the Pamirs. For the sake of simplicity, I will refer to these two plateaus together as the Ox-shaped Plateau, or just the Roof of the World.
