Chapter 9: Wonders of the Cave
Along the way, the snow off-road vehicle was unhindered, driving on the endless ice field and snow with no road, in addition to the thrill is the thrill, their hearts hung on their throats, not as smooth as they imagined.
Suddenly, a strong wind carried snowflakes and snow particles, and the wind and snow were dense and made it difficult for the car to move an inch.
Xue Bingbing and Tianping had never seen such a violent snowstorm, and they couldn't help but palpitate and fear.
Deng Tianping hugged Xue Bingbing, afraid that she would be frozen, so he asked her to bury her head in her chest.
Xue Bingbing was too scared to look at the howling blizzard outside.
Liu Ping looked back at the two of them and asked loudly if there was anything wrong? For the first time, they saw the horrors of an Antarctic blizzard.
"Mom? When will the damn blizzard end? Deng Tianping asked in annoyance.
"How can you see a rainbow without wind and rain? The search for treasure is smooth sailing, and it will be there in another hour or two. This is the wind and snow belt that we have to go through. Liu Pingping drove the car smoothly and steadily, his vision was not clear, but Beidou navigation pointed the way, and he was not worried that he would drive wrong, and told them with a smile.
"I'm fine, I'm not afraid. Balance listen to mother, don't be nervous. Xue Bingbing came out of his arms and said calmly.
"Hmmm! You are not afraid, and I am not afraid. Deng Tianping nodded, always worried about his beloved woman. Bingbing must have been very uncomfortable. She was confident, and I was relieved, and suddenly my heart warmed up.
The car drove for two or three hours in this blizzard, but fortunately it would never be dark, otherwise it would have been late at night since the departure in the morning.
The car passed through the blizzard and entered the endless still wind area. The car sped away and came to a stop on an ice field without any signs.
Liu Ping got out of the car, holding the satellite locator in his hand. Dressed in thick clothing, people move slowly, and after walking dozens of meters forward, they beckon.
Deng Tianping and Xue Bingbing got out of the car and ran towards her, their feet were difficult to lift up in the deep snow, and they ran forward like crawling, and after a while, their whole body strength was almost exhausted.
"Are you okay?" Xue Bingbing said roughly.
"Okay." Deng Tianping saw the ice crystals on Bingbing's brows, and his breath flared into his hand and immediately froze.
Xue Bingbing took his hand and walked over with each other, and stood beside his mother. They felt the cold in their hands, and they shivered to move their bodies and drive away the cold.
Liu Ping was not cold at all, and pulled out a thick layer of snow with both hands to find a black thing.
The scales knew it was a fist-sized meteorite. A thick snow-white rope was tied to it, and I don't know how long, and the other end was buried in the snow.
"Don't walk around when you stand here. I'm going to drive. Liu Ping pointed to the snow and said to them.
Scales and snow and ice I don't know what is here? I don't know anything, everything obeys my mother. She easily drove over and drove the car, tied the snow-white rope to the car, and the car went backwards.
The rope moved, and it held up a thick layer of snow. It and the snow were lifted up in front of the eyes, and the car stopped.
Liu Ping came to him and said, "In order to keep it a secret, your father and I covered the pit with canvas and steel bars. Even if someone passes by here, they won't notice. You can help, and we'll get ready to go down. β
Remove all the necessary supplies from the car. A large pile of supplies was dropped by ropes and lowered into the bottom of the pit. Liu Ping explained many things as he did it, so that both of them could learn.
"Bingbing, are you ready?" Liu Ping asked with a hydrogen balloon in one hand and a climbing mace in the other.
Xue Bingbing was very scared, especially in the unfamiliar pit. Now I have some weak legs. The rope was wrapped around the balance at one end, Liu Ping at the other end, and Xue Bingbing was wrapped in the middle. The thick rope of the hydrogen balloon is put around the waist, and the body floats gently, and the foot is about an inch away from the snow, and it also touches the snow from time to time.
According to my mother's instructions, the balance went down to the pit first, and the whole person floated in the middle of the pit with the balloon, and pierced the snow wall with a hammer to stabilize his body and not move.
Xue Bingbing lifted the toes of the balloon off the ground, and immediately felt a pleasant feeling, feeling how wonderful the feeling of floating up the body was.
The scales slowly tightened the rope, and Xue Bingbing came to his side lightly.
"Wow! It's amazing! Xue Bingbing floated to his side, surprised with a smile on his face.
"Bingbing, me too." What the scales see is pulling the goddess or fairy to her side, and her joyful smile makes the mood soar and the soul flutters.
Liu Ping came over with a light and familiar road. They descended with a sense of wonder. It seemed to be bottomless all the time, and together it descended to a pit of more than a thousand meters.
Descending to the flat ground, they stood on top of the pristine eon-billion-year-old land. The strange thing is that in such a deep pit, the oxygen is not thin, and the pressure is not so strong, and the body is only slightly heavier, which does not affect the body's blood circulation and metabolism. There's an air current flowing upwards here, and it's still very strong.
"Get out of the gas." Liu Ping landed for the first time, and hurriedly released the hydrogen in his air bag. The two of them were so rushed by the upward air flow that they couldn't stabilize themselves.
Liu Ping untied the airless balloon and held the rope. Xue Bingbing was nervous and screamed. The brain simply doesn't know what to do? Hold Bingbing's body steady, open the valve of the airbag with her hand, and as soon as she releases her air, she stands firmly on the ground.
The balance was also deflated in a hurry and took off the balloon. He was worried about Bingbing and asked with a mouthful, "Bingbing, how are you?" You okay? Seeing that it was fine, his mouth still kept screaming.
"Ouch!" Xue Bingbing threw herself into the arms of the balances.
Liu Ping looked at it and shook his head, "Alasββ, lack of experience." "Take off the rope from your body and go somewhere.
"Mom, where are you going?" Tianping screamed anxiously, shining a searchlight inside.
Suddenly, the snow brightened in the pit. A few electric lights illuminated every corner of the room. The lights came on, and the fear of each other disappeared, and I watched everything inside.
The balance and the snow are like entering the Crystal Palace, and the lights are brilliant and brilliant everywhere. The two of them held hands and walked step by step inside.
"Quiet up, y'all. Your ears are deafened by you. Liu Ping came out to them and said.
"Huh." Tianping smiled, "We're worried." Mom, it's like the Dragon King's Crystal Palace. β
"Mom," Xue Bingbing let go of him, grinned and hugged Mom's arm and said, "Here, how did you do it?" You see, how did you get the electric light in a pit more than 1,000 meters? β
Yes, Xue Bingbing was incredible when she first saw the lights on. Electricity is almost impossible here.
"Well, that's a good question. Come, I'll show you. Liu Ping smiled with satisfaction, "You have to use your brains to do things, energy is everywhere, and you must learn to use it everywhere, which is the law of survival in the wild." Remember, in the future, that you must not be alarmed in anything. Just now, you two were making a fuss, how can you have the brains to do things? If it's dangerous, you're dead. You know? β
Damn's lesson is a big truth, and the two of them blushed a little at the panic just now.
"Look at that." Liu Ping used a portable searchlight to shine on the wall above the pit and said, "Look what's there?" β
The searchlight overhead shone through, and five or six of the six fan-like blades were turning. Some of them spin fast, some spin slowly.
"Ahββ! That's a small wind turbine. They use the rising air flow to drive the blades to generate electricity. Mom, how did you come up with that? Xue Bingbing knew it at a glance and said it.
"Smart, or a well-informed journalist." Liu Ping praised her.
The scales really didn't react, and they were still wondering what they were doing there. Responsiveness is not my forte, and if I think deeply about some deep questions, she will never be able to compare. That's why different minds make different things.
"How many kilowatt-hours of electricity can they generate?" Balance asked, looking up.
"More than 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity are generated a day. Electricity is more than enough here. After Liu Ping finished speaking, he took the two of them inside and said, "In the future, no matter what, you must insist on inspecting the generator, is it normal?" If there is a problem with the generator and it cannot be lived, emergency measures should be taken. Normally, no, there are six wind turbines, and if two or three of them are broken, it will not affect the normal operation, you just need to reinstall the new ones. "Let them see the generator set and the equipment, as well as a couple of big super batteries.
The ice cave in the pit is full of twists and turns, and it seems that there is no end to it. The balance and the snow were captivated by the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Once or twice, I watched and looked, and looked and looked.
How deep the hole is, it can only be said to be as long as it is. At first I thought it was snow crystals, but they weren't, they were real crystals. Now they don't know what it is, Liu Ping needs to be patient and explain them bit by bit.
Coming in from the entrance of the deep pit is about two or three hundred meters away, and here it is different. This is a huge palace with a deep palace, and it is even more splendid and beautiful.
"Oh my god! We arrived at the underground palace. Xue Bingbing looked up, overjoyed and surprised, as if she was in a dreamy and beautiful fantasy.
The scales and the snow are deep and worried, how did this place come to be? Is it naturally occurring? Apparently not. It's artificial, right? Humans can't reach two thousand meters below the ice. After a hundred years of greenhouse effect on the earth, the general ice of the Antarctic continent has melted by more than one or two thousand meters. The ice here has also melted more than 1,000 meters thick. How did this splendid palace come about? The scales remembered what we had come here for.
"Mom, where is the 'miracle medicine' you said?" Balance asked.
Has Liu Ping's inspection around him changed from before? Everything was normal as usual, nodding and taking them to a cave room. Is it a house? It looks like a god, and the surrounding layout is like a human house design, with a hall and a small hall, and there are more large and small spaces, which is a human living house, right?
In each space, they installed electric lights.
Liu Ping turned on the light and came to a three-dimensional U-shaped groove made of crystal, removed the crystal cover and saw the colorless and transparent liquid inside.
Tianping and Xue Bingbing bent down and looked down carefully at what kind of artifact the transparent liquid was? The human body absorbs it to be youthful and immortal.
"What do you think of this?" Liu Ping asked them questions.
Shaking his head in confusion for a moment.
"This is a research laboratory for prehistoric superhumans. The whole place is a research laboratory for prehistoric people. Their research tools are all made of crystal. Prehistoric people made crystal as easy as modern humans made steel. Liu Ping explained to the two of them.
"You say, everything here is made of crystal, including the whole space. Wowββ! Balance, we really arrived at the Crystal Palace. I have seen such a wonderful place in my life, and I have no regrets in my life. Xue Bingbing exclaimed, feeling in her heart.
The scales didn't say more, and they had to figure it out here. The things in the whole space obviously aroused his curiosity. From one small space to another, there are all sorts of things of different shapes, some of which can guess what prehistoric people did for them. They are in the form of modern tables, beds, and chairs......
Some of them were so hot that they couldn't stand it anymore and took off the heavy helmet that protected their heads. It was removed, and the head and neck were relieved and refreshed. Tianping smelled Xue Bingbing's loud cheers and ran over curiously. At a glance, Bingbing had taken off his heavy helmet and warm coat, and shouted happily.
"Hey, hey!" Tianping took her hand and told her to stop, "What are you doing?" Be quieter. Mom will be upset when she hears it. β
Xue Bingbing got carried away excitedly, covered her mouth and smiled softly, "I'm so happy." Scales," said his hands around his neck, "I would like to live here for the rest of my life." β
Tianping couldn't help but look at her with joy, and he smiled happily. Her red and sexy mouth reached out to kiss her mouth, and her spirit tongue broke through aggressively, caressing with lingering.
Xue Bingbing kissed feverishly, the balance was hot, and his lower body stood straight and high as if he smelled the longing for information.
"Ahββ!h Xue Bingbing suddenly stopped, screamed very happily, looked at him with a red face, and said in her ear, "When we sleep, we will come again, it is inconvenient now." β
Tianping listened to the amusement, and just had this love, nodded and said, "Well, come to sleep." Hehe. β
"Take your coat off. It's not cold here. Xue Bingbing said to help him take off his thick thermal jacket.
Tianping suddenly felt the tenderness of a woman, and the happiness in his heart was extremely happy, and he looked at her with a smile.
"What are you staring at me for?" Xue Bingbing blushed and asked a little uncomfortably.
"Goddess. I'm admiring the Goddess. Bingbing," the balance showed the man's chest, hugged the flexible waist, kissed the fragrant ruddy face and said, "I love you, Bingbing!"
Xue Bingbing twisted her body delicately, kissed his mouth with a smile and charming, and said with a happy expression: "Me too." β
"Scales, Scales......"
Tianping heard his mother's cry, and took Bingbing Yu's soft hand to his mother's place together.
When you get to the mom's space, you feel like you're in a modern kitchen. All of them are modern and electrified kitchenware, with stoves, sinks, electric kettles, rice burgers, induction cookers, frying pans, and more.
Liu Ping brought two plates of transparent food like jelly and put them on the red crystal table. It is stocked with a variety of food items such as milk, bread and desserts.
"You're all hungry, aren't you? Come and eat. Liu Ping invited them to say.
Tianping and Xue Bingbing sat on the crystal chairs, which were very cold to the touch, but they put on soft cushions, and they didn't feel cold at all.
"Come, you eat this first." After Liu Ping finished speaking, he handed two plates of jelly-like food to their eyes and noses, "This is the most nutritious edible gum, which contains more than 50% protein, more than 30% collagen, and various minerals that the body needs." Your bodies are all in the stage of evolution and upgrading, so you need the most nutritious things. You taste it first, it's like jelly. β
Scale: Use a spoon to make small pieces and taste the taste.
Xue Bingbing stared at his actions and reactions.
Tianping tasted it and immediately praised it: "Well, delicious!" β
Xue Bingbing was relieved to eat, and said with a happy face: "Hmm! Delicious! Mom, how did you do it? You have to teach me. β
Liu Ping didn't answer them, smiled and lowered his head to eat his share of edible gum.
After a while, Tianping finished eating the edible gum on the plate, put down the spoon and said, "Well, this seems to be very different from the jelly you usually eat." This melts into a slightly sweet and refreshing liquid that flows into the stomach. β
"Well, that's right. It's this feeling that makes it very delicious. Xue Bingbing also quickly finished eating.
Liu Ping smiled and put down the spoon and said to them: "It is edible gum, also called gelatin." Gelatin is extracted from the skins of bones, animals and plants. What we eat now is raw gelatin. It has been sealed for hundreds of millions of years, and it tastes better than immortal medicine. You eat it regularly and will evolve into new and more advanced humans. Gelatin is a soft solid at a relatively low temperature, but it becomes liquid at temperatures above 25 degrees. The human body temperature is thirty-seven degrees, so it melts when it is imported. β
Tianping and Xue Bingbing understood the reason why it melted in import, but looked at her suspiciously, how did you get this?
"You guys come down." Liu Ping got up and went to a door next to him.
Balance and Xue Bingbing followed curiously. Inside it was another world, like a human storehouse, with crystal jars of the same size and different colors stacked on top of each other. Take one of them and try to open the crystal lid.
The crystal jar opened, and the scales looked and smelled exactly the same as what they had just eaten. It was a food eaten by prehistoric humans. High-end and precious gelatin was an ordinary food for prehistoric humans, which is incredible.
"Eat this before you eat later. You know? Liu Ping confessed to them.
"When you're full, I'll take you to see one of the most important things." Liu Ping said and left.
Tianping and Xue Bingbing looked at each other and smiled, excited like a dream. They went out together with their mother to eat the food assigned to everyone. When you are full, your energy and energy are replenished.
Liu Ping took them to a most important place. They entered through the crystal palace to one of the largest caves. It's filled with more mysteries, and Snow Ice and Balance are eager to know what's inside?
When I walked out of the cave door, what I saw in front of me was almost silly. There's no world here! The scales and snow saw the vast and boundless flat land and the endless lake in the distance. There is a huge building on the flat ground, all transparent and colorless. From a distance, it looks like a circular fortress made of ice.
It was several square kilometers in size, and it couldn't be seen at the height of a man anyway. How high is the height, the balance is estimated to be more than 200 meters 800 zhang high under the illumination of the lamp.
"Mom, where does the river come from?" Xue Bingbing asked, following behind.
Liu Ping stopped and said, "That's not a river, it's a big lake." It is an Antarctic subglacial lake. β
"Antarctic subglacial lakes?" Xue Bingbing recalled and said, "I've heard before that there are subglacial lakes in Antarctica that don't freeze, and it's true." β
"Hehe, I still know why it formed. Everything here is frozen and pristine. This is due to geothermal heat, which was formed over tens of millions of years after the ice melted. Tianping interjected and said it, without his mother to explain.
"Mom, is that so?" Xue Bingbing asked incredulously.
"Well, he's right. It is indeed due to geothermal reasons. The place we are in is the most different place in Antarctica. Prehistoric humans chose this place as a laboratory for geographical reasons. Their mysteries can only be figured out through research. Let's go to that place. After speaking, he pointed to an iceberg building in the distance.
