270. Glaciers
Glaciers only exist in extremely cold places, and their formation does not happen overnight.
Simple snow piles up into ice, not glaciers.
Glaciers take a long time to form, and the snow is formed through a series of physical changes, which are then polished over time and finally settled.
Glaciers cover 11% of the land area and store about 78% of the surface's freshwater resources.
It also plays an important role in balancing the heat of the earth's surface, allowing life on the planet to survive at the right temperature.
Glaciers have existed for hundreds or even hundreds of millions of years, and they have buried many paleontological remains, which are crucial for human research on past planetary changes.
Actively studying countermeasures to improve the intensifying global warming effect and prevent a series of evil consequences caused by further melting of glaciers has become an important task for human development.
"There is news that the permafrost has thawed in some areas, and the ancient bacteria and viruses that have been frozen in it have reappeared. If it does, it will be a fatal challenge for us today. ”
The base staff sighed.
Glaciers have witnessed many extinctions on the planet, and they have collected everything from good to bad.
If one day it can't "collect" and dumps out the "bad things" that we don't know at all, it will probably be no less than the end of the world.
People in the world always love to talk about the end of the world, and always like to fantasize about the various ways to survive when they are in it, but in the face of real disasters, we are too small and can do too little.
I'm afraid that if it's just a face, I will lose very badly.
……
The penguin, known as the "Boat of the Sea", is one of the oldest migratory birds and has been living on the planet for thousands of years.
It is extremely hardy and can even survive and thrive in freezing temperatures as low as minus 60 degrees Celsius.
"It's said that all birds evolved from dinosaurs, and penguins are birds, so penguins are dinosaurs, and it sounds incredible, but it's true."
Shen Jinsong said.
Quite a few players are skeptical.
Are fluffy, cute penguins dinosaurs?
Isn't that too?
They finally accepted the roast chicken, fried chicken, chestnut stewed chicken, yellow stewed chicken, flower chicken, and spiced grilled chicken on the daily table...... The main character of the chicken, is a descendant of dinosaurs.
This penguin can't fly, but it's cute and loving, how can it be related to the dinosaur that sounds like goosebumps?
Next, Shen Jinsong spoke with facts, and listed a lot of very convincing scientific evidence for them, which convinced everyone.
"Hey, the 'goose' can't be disguised! It's not the same as the 'goose'......" Lao Tian sighed, and looked down at the big fat goose in his arms by the way.
The big fat goose doesn't have any "noble" blood, it's just an ordinary peasant goose.
The big fat goose doesn't understand the complex mind of human beings, it tilts its head, and its small eyes full of aura look straight at its humble master, which contains a look of both attachment and strong disgust.
Sure enough, there is a kind of owner and what kind of pet.
"There's an emperor penguin colony in front of you, so be careful not to disturb them. If you want to observe, you can get a little closer. ”
The on-site staff stretched out their hands to make a gesture, and when they saw the heavy gloves, they took them off without thinking.
"It's just a little bit, see it clearly, don't complain to me, everyone is the same."
As he spoke, he pressed his thumb lightly on the tip of his little finger and drew a "little" range that was not much thicker than a human hair.
Lao Tian and the other players were already excited to rush to the front line when they heard this, and they were eager to see this magical species with their own eyes.
The big fat goose was hugged tightly, and it was not annoyed, but very much looking forward to starting to carry out its "Bimei" plan.
The little eyes that were rolling around had a story at first glance, and they began to exude the smell of Niu Hulu and the goose.
When he finally met the legendary penguins with Lao Tian, he couldn't help but straighten his slender and elegant goose neck when he saw their bloated waist with three layers of "pot-bellied poop".
Ga! These little fat people! I am indeed the most beautiful goose, and I am invincible in the world!
It tilted its neck proudly, feeling very majestic for a moment.
Tang Qinqin suddenly sensed at this time, and the vitality given by the source of vitality began to have a faint reaction again.
It's an aura stone.
This ice and snow world really didn't disappoint her!
She said hello to her friends and walked away with the slightest hint of sensing.
……
After the place where the trace of anger was finally found, Tang Qinqin felt the fluctuations in his heart in shock.
It was a long, winding cress in the glacier, and when you look closer, you can only feel dizzy and frightened.
And the direction of that hint of anger sensing. It is from the bottom of the crack.
Tang Qinqin hurriedly contacted all the partners.
The aura stone is also too good at hiding, and such a precipitous environment just becomes its umbrella.
After the players arrived, they were all bitter when they saw the glacier crack pointed by Tang Qinqin.
Not to mention the fear of unconsciously persuading people to retreat, just how to go down to the bottom of the crack safely is a headache.
The cracks seem to have been eroded by the accumulation of flowing water, and the section is relatively soft and not hideous.
Some places are more spacious, while others are so narrow that people who look a little chubby can easily get stuck.
The bottom of the crack is not known how deep it is from the surface, and it looks pitch black.
"Since I found out, I'll go down and find out the situation first." Tang Qinqin seemed to be relieved when he saw everyone coming, and then gritted his teeth and came to the pre-selected "entrance".
The depths of the dark cracks are full of unknowns, and a biting chill is constantly overflowing upwards.
Song Yuanze hurriedly came over to stop her.
Tang Qinqin patted him, signaling that he was not impulsive, but had made a few preparations.
"I'll go down with you." Song Yuanze shook his head, looking helpless.
Tang Qinqin put his right hand into Song Yuanze's palm.
Obsidian, whose body was much more rounded, appeared in front of him.
"Heh, this is also fat?"
The reason why his "rival in love" Xuanfeng has recently reduced his sense of existence is also because he accidentally ate fat, felt that his image was damaged, and he was hiding in the companion space and shouting to lose weight.
Obsidian's jewel-like eyes flashed with a touch of human annoyance.
So, Song Yuanze enjoyed unusual treatment next.
The elastic spider silk prepared by obsidian for Tang Qinqin was flexible and smooth, and the whole silk was very smooth.
When it was Song Yuanze's turn, it lifted its round belly very perfunctorily, and squeezed out a mass of "spider silk balls" from the tip of the abdomen.
