Chapter Fifty-Eight: Shells in the Lake
I slept beautifully, and when Zhang Jianyang got up the next day, Zhang Zhikun just sent a female secretary to greet him and let Zhang Jianyang have a good time in Salt Lake City for a few days.
The caravan appeared too suddenly, Zhang Zhikun and the others were not prepared, so they naturally wanted to use these few days to buffer it, so as to formulate a plan that both parties could bear.
Zhang Jianyang was not worried that the more than 200 tons of grain transported by the caravan would not be sold, and several big forces in the Tamu Basin had long been eyeing these grains, if it weren't for Zhang Zhikun intervening, I am afraid that someone would have started to contact Zhang Jianyang and them a long time ago. More than 200 tons of grain is a drizzle for the Tamu Basin, which has a population of nearly one million, but they pay attention to the future cooperation with the caravan.
After having breakfast with the team members, in the next few days, Zhang Jianyang simply took all of them on vacation, and the caravan was handed over to Chen Zhuangping to be responsible.
In Zhang Jianyang's mind, this transportation is just to earn some extra money by the way, and the real top priority is to explore the one thing he needs in the salt lake. If you want to survive in this world and constantly improve your strength, it is extremely important, as long as the star power level is raised, the stage of this world will be even broader.
…………
The name of Salt Lake City is actually derived from the salt lake.
More than 70% of the entire Tamu Basin is water, which is where the name Salt Lake City comes from, from which it takes its name.
The Tamu Basin, which is rich in refined salt, is entirely interested in the salt lake, which is a huge salty lake, although it is not as exaggerated as the Dead Sea, but its salinity is still several times that of the sea.
Salt Lake City happened to be built on the edge of the salt lake, in the salt belt, so Zhang Jianyang appeared on the edge of the salt lake without difficulty.
Due to the special reason here, the lake has an ebbs and flows similar to the ocean, which indirectly contributes to the wonders of the world in the Tamu Basin. The lake contains a lot of salt, and when the tide rises, it floods the rocks around the lake, and then after the tide, it is processed by the air and the sun, and a layer of snow-white salt appears on the rocks. This is how the salt belt around the lake was formed.
These naturally occurring salt flowers, which are continuous and infinite, do not need to be processed at all, and can be eaten directly.
The refined salt in Salt Lake City is made from local materials and processed into real refined salt after more than a dozen deep processing.
Similarly, 90 percent of the meat in the Tamu Basin comes from the salt lake, and there are many fish miscellaneous that can tolerate this salt content, and they have gradually adapted to the life of the salt lake after tens of thousands of evolutions. If you go deeper into the bottom of the lake, you will also see schools of fish roaming and weaving.
When Zhang Jianyang stood on this familiar salt lake again, he couldn't help but sigh a little.
After the nuclear war, radiation and nuclear dust storms have indeed brought an indelible mark on people and animals, and a large number of human and animal mutations have brought the earth into a fantasy world. Although the probability of radiation mutation of animals and plants on land is very high, the impact of this radiation mutation on the ocean is very small, with the barrier of seawater, only a few will produce mutations, for the ocean with countless unknown creatures, the number of mutations is completely negligible.
This situation has also caused the most prosperous cities of mankind to remain coastal areas.
On the ocean, a large number of ships are also active, which undertake the task of transporting from country to country and city to city.
In the salt lake, people can be seen driving boats out of the lake from time to time, and people who lack food have to try to fill their stomachs. Since the salt flowers here can be eaten directly, people living in the city, as long as there is no salt, carry a plastic bucket and shovel a bucket, which is enough for the family to eat for a long time.
Zhang Jianyang walked to the lake, and then gradually moved away from the city by the lake.
There is not nothing near the lake, there are also a lot of plants growing on the lake, and there are some trees.
In order not to attract attention, Zhang Jianyang's dress is similar to that of the locals as much as possible. So Zhang Jianyang, who was walking by the lake, did not attract anyone's attention, even if he saw Zhang Jianyang, he would think that Zhang Jianyang was looking for something to eat. The salt lake is a huge treasure trove, with hundreds of edible aquatic creatures, and has always been an adventure place for people who are underfed.
Bypassing the city, Zhang Jianyang did not stop, but still kept walking along the lake, which is still a lot of distance from his destination.
After moving away from people's sight, Zhang Jianyang began to run wildly, the physique of the star warrior made his running speed extremely fast, and his perverted endurance, like this, it was not a problem to sprint with all his strength and run for half an hour.
After resting twice, Zhang Jianyang had already arrived at a desolate lake more than 40 kilometers away from Salt Lake City.
Here you can see endless rocks overlapping on the edge of the lake, and the rocks are full of wild grass, probably because of the salty surname plants, some of which are dry brown, giving people a desolate and lifeless feeling.
Found a place he was most familiar with, Zhang Jianyang took off his clothes and pants, put on a pair of underwear, touched down the overlapping rocks to the lake, and then went into the water, took a deep breath, and then plunged and disappeared into the lake.
The water in the salt lake is cold and biting, and in just a dozen seconds, it can numb people's limbs and make people stiff in half a minute.
It's because the water in the salt lake is so cold that almost no one dives to the bottom of the lake to explore the world below. Only those who are so frustrated by hunger will venture down to the edge of the lake to quickly catch some edible aquatic plants and touch some shellfish.
Don't underestimate these colds, for humans, they are deadly.
Zhang Jianyang knows very well that the water of the salt lake is more than 20 meters, and the cold is even more terrifying, as long as the water depth exceeds 50 meters, it is not something that people can bear.
Star power is constantly circulating in the body, making the muscles and blood hot, resisting the cold from the water, which is why Zhang Jianyang dares to challenge the bottom of the lake.
The water of the salt lake is clear, dive underneath, open your eyes, endure the stinging pain of the lake, you can observe the colorful world below, like a sea area, countless aquatic plants grow here, swinging with the lake. Some fish walked through the aquatic plants, as if they had discovered Zhang Jianyang, a strange visitor, and were frightened and disappeared in an instant.
Zhang Jianyang continued to dive along the rocks, and then at the bottom of the lake, which was only more than 20 meters, he continued to hold on to the rocks under the lake and went to a deeper area.
is far different from the lung capacity of ordinary people, and the low consumption under star power allows Zhang Jianyang to dive for more than ten minutes.
As the bottom of the lake continues to move outward, the rocks begin to decrease, and a large number of sand grains appear, clumps of plants grow in these sands, and a large number of crabs of all kinds, all of which can be found.
Zhang Jianyang looked around, and by the light, after confirming the position, Zhang Jianyang moved to a deeper place.
It wasn't until there were no more rocks, all sand, that Zhang Jianyang stopped looking at a green water meadow in the distance.
At this point, the entire diving time has exceeded three minutes, which also means that Zhang Jianyang only has six minutes to solve the problem in front of him, and then spend one minute floating on the surface of the lake.
Faintly passing through these green aquatic meadows, you can see that in the middle of the aquatic grass, there is a sand pit, and there are large patches of brown shells with patterns several meters high. Inside the slightly open shells, you can see the exposed shellfish, which is preying on the plankton that pass by. With Zhang Jianyang's current eyesight, it is impossible to find out the situation inside this huge shell, but Zhang Jianyang knows that there are things he needs in this shell.
