Chapter 29: The Ears of Lop Nur

You must know that Batur sent the sound recorded by the only maritime satellite phone he had on him to the Arabic language, because the signal in Lop Porri was not easy to find, so he recorded the sound in advance and waited for the signal to be connected and it could be sent automatically.

The recording just now lasted a little more than five minutes, and Sun Yan listened to it three times from beginning to end, repeating this action a total of six times during the whole process, and each time the time was exactly the same, all forty-five seconds, no more, no less. And what makes Sun Yan mad the most is that every time he picks up the phone, the person is always silent, as if he appears out of thin air, there is no footsteps walking in, and there is no sound of clothes shaking. But if this is a farce arranged by several people in advance, it is not the case at all, there are exactly six footsteps from near and far, and the frequency and weight of their footsteps are exactly the same, and finally they coincide together, like the sound of a person

After listening to the recording, Sun Yan was quiet for ten minutes, on the one hand, he had goosebumps all over his body, and on the other hand, he was completely confused. What does this recording sent by Batur mean, what does he want to explain, a trapped person, what he wants to convey to the outside world at this time must be where he is, and all the information he has, and what can such an unknown recording indicate? Sun Yan guessed all kinds of situations, and his intuition told him that Batur was most likely in an accident.

may have seen Sun Yan sitting in the car stunned, Hu Tengjiu came over and opened the car door, and looked inside.

Sun Yan glanced up at him and said, "What's wrong, Uncle Hu." ”

Sun Yan's face was not very good, and he was still immersed in the recording just now, Hu Tengjiu saw his ignorant appearance, grinned and said: "This recording is a little strange Actually, I have also listened to the recording sent by Batur before, and the flood impact he said has indeed been heard in the center of Lop Nur Lake, and there have been several reports on Xinjiang Radio on this matter, but this voice is not something that can be heard for no reason, it is related to the appearance of the Ears of Lop Nur."

"Yes." Sun Yan answered in his throat, paused for a while, suddenly woke up, and hurriedly raised his head and asked, "What Lop Nur ear?" ”

Hu Tengjiu said: "Have you heard the saying about Lop Nur's big ears? ”

Sun Yan nodded and said: I know, because the shape of the Lop Nur dry lake basin, judging from the high-definition images taken by satellites, looks like the outline of human ears, so there is this statement. ”

Hu Tengjiu said: "That's right, on the satellite, Lop Nur not only has ear wheels, ear lobes, ear wheel lines and ear holes, the shape of the 'big ears' is formed by the control of the original lake shore topography, especially by the influence of the deep lake peninsula, and the ear wheel line on the 'big ears' image is also the annual and seasonal rhythm line in the process of the formation of the lake retreating salt crust. These are all determined by their scientists, and there is no disputing that the big ears were formed by the retreat of the lake. However, not many people know about the real Lop Nur Ear"

Sun Yan looked at Hu Tengjiu's pretended mysterious face and said strangely: "Then what is the Lop Nur Ear you are talking about?" ”

"The ears of Lop Nur I am talking about are real, people who have seen it call this thing 'ears and eyes', in fact, it is just a bottomless live hole, it appears in the middle of the lake at the time of rain in the lake basin, which is also exactly at the 'ear hole' of the big ear, from the live hole comes the sound of water flowing, attracting living creatures to come forward, many people who have seen this 'ears and eyes' think that there is a water source in it, but no one dares to go down to find out, even if it goes down, it is difficult to come up alive, so no one knows what is underneath. However, if I'm not mistaken, Batur is most likely in the eyes of this ear. Hu Tengjiu explained.

After listening to his conclusion, Sun Yan was also stunned for a moment, he had never heard of such a statement about Lop Nur's 'ears and eyes', it sounded simply suspenseful and unreliable, and this old man also put Batur into it for half a day, although Sun Yan had imagined that Batur might be in any place in Lop Nur, but he never imagined that he would be in such an inexplicable place, so for a while, the whole person was dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to react.

Hu Tengjiu saw Sun Yan's stiff expression, probably sensing his skeptical attitude, so he coughed and said, "I don't know if you know anything about the 'live sathorn' in Lop Nur?" ”

"Live Sathorn?" Sun Yan shook his head, but immediately remembered something, and hurriedly nodded, this thing, as if he had heard Xiao Da Lip talk about it before, is an underground live cave, specializing in devouring living creatures on the ground, Batur and Qi Dongrui have encountered it before, but no one seems to know what the foraging master behind this live sand swallow is

"I've heard of it"

Hu Tengjiu nodded and continued: "Then it's easy to say, according to my speculation, 'ears and eyes' are actually very similar to live sandhorns, both have the so-called activity cycle, and live sandtons have a very wide range of underground activities, and they will appear in the same place for a long time. And this 'ear eye' only appears in the center of Lop Nur Lake all year round, and only appears during the period of rainfall, which seems to really verify the statement that Lop Nur has big ears, and there is a veritable ear hole. As mysterious as it sounds, there are some things you have to believe in Lop Nur, and if you look at what is going to happen from the perspective of the past, you will miss out on a lot of opportunities. ”

Sun Yan is not a brainless person, he has experienced so much in Lop Nur, and many things are not surprising. He thought for a while, then asked: "Uncle Hu, I don't want to doubt what you said, it's just that some things are better than seeing us and let's put this aside first, as you said just now, this 'ear and eye' will only appear during the period of rain, so this is a bit of a fantasy, everyone knows that Lop Nur is going to rain once, then the Buddha himself has to come to invite the Dragon King, even if we go to the lake basin, we don't have the opportunity to go down to find out, isn't that Batur?"

Hu Tengjiu shook his head and said: "The last rain in the lake basin was two months ago, and the latest rain is in the past few days, if we have the opportunity to go in, we must hurry up and get there, that's why I set off at noon today." ”

Sun Yan swallowed his saliva, and when he heard him say so much at once, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and even felt a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't tell whether this feeling was aimed at what Hu Tengjiu said, or against Hu Tengjiu as a person.

"Uncle Hu, why didn't you tell us in advance when you knew about this matter a long time ago, and now that you tell me so much at once, I also need to take two breaths to digest it!"

"I didn't tell you what I thought right away, because I also had some concerns of my own, to be honest, I really didn't intend to believe you at first, and I didn't think that you guys would really go to such a dangerous place with me, I can just get those valuable equipment on you with you, you have to know that you can't break into Lop Nur without a few useful things." Hu Tengjiu paused as he said and said, "Don't blame me for this incident, I'm like this, I'm ruthless, if I hadn't gone to the Hades Palace, I wouldn't have said these things to you." You're kind of a kid, and I'm a little impressed with you this time, but I won't thank you for it. ”

Sun Yan smiled bitterly, and when he saw Hu Tengjiu turn around to leave after speaking, he hurriedly asked, "Uncle Hu, then why did you take the risk to save Batur?" If the 'ears and eyes' were as you say, wouldn't we be food for them when we went in? ”

Hu Tengjiu was stunned, half loud, and then said in a low voice: "I have an unpaid debt to that kid."
