Chapter Seventy-Two: The Hengduan Mountains
The Hengduan Mountains are located in the southwest of Zhuxia, which is the dividing line between the first and second tiers of Zhuxia's topography.
One of the youngest mountain systems in the world. Zhuxia is the longest, widest and most typical north-south mountain system, and the only region with both Pacific and Indian Ocean water systems.
However, because of this, the geological activity in the Hengduan Mountains area has always been frequent, and earthquakes occur from time to time.
Although Lu Yuan had a map, he was not sure that he would be able to find the places marked on the map.
After getting off the plane in Jinguancheng, Lu Yuan did not stop long, but after some disguise, he went back to his hometown.
After not returning to his hometown for several years, Lu Yuan felt that he almost didn't know this place anymore.
He couldn't help but feel that things were wrong with people.
Fortunately, the construction has changed, the people have changed, and the food in the hometown has not changed.
Lu Yuan walked into a snack bar next to the park.
He used to come to this snack bar often to eat tofu brain.
The tofu brain in Lu Yuan's hometown is fundamentally different from the tofu brain in the traditional sense.
The local tofu brain is not based on bean curd, but on a soup that is made up of an absolutely delicious broth.
Use monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, kohlrabi granules, dark soy sauce, (dense ingredients) fried soybeans or fried peanuts as the base, and spoon half a bowl of starch thick juice thickened with bone broth.
Then use a flat spoon to peel a few slices of snow-white bean curd and put it on top of the thick juice to float, and then put celery and cooked oil chili peppers on top, and a bowl of delicious Jiazhou tofu brain is presented in front of you.
Lu Yuan ate tofu brain and left the shop. Walk alone in a quiet town.
As you walk, you look at the scenery and people around you.
Unconsciously walked to the edge of the Min River.
Looking at the river in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Things are people, not everything!"
More than 10 years ago, when he had a Sunday afternoon break, he would always come to the Minjiang River to rent a small boat.
Reading a book and chatting with friends on the boat, there was always a girl with her at the time.
During the college entrance examination that year, Lu Yuan chose to go to Hainan University because of her.
Unfortunately, in the end, it backfired, and the girl did not choose to continue school, but chose to go to work early.
It's been more than ten years in the blink of an eye, and I don't know how the girl is now.
Standing on the edge of the Min River for a long time, Lu Yuan walked downstream.
Before I knew it, I had come to a small town called Qingxi.
Although the town is not big, the scenery is very beautiful.
This is the largest jasmine production base in the country, so outside the whole town, there are endless jasmine fields.
When Lu Yuan came, it was the season when jasmine flowers were in full bloom.
As far as the eye can see, the entire field is a sea of flowers.
Smelling the fragrance of jasmine, Lu Yuan always felt a sense of loss.
He turned around and walked towards the town. In a trance, he seemed to see a familiar back.
Lu Yuan involuntarily followed, turned the street, and the person in front stopped in front of a small shop.
The two children ran out of the bumper and bounced, and they shouted "Mommy!" with joy in their mouths.
"It turns out that she has already become a mother!"
Lu Yuan felt as if there was something in his heart at this time.
He took a deep breath and turned around indifferently. The signature smile appeared on his face again.
"I wish you happiness!"
Silently bless in my heart. Lu Yuan left the town quickly.
After returning to the small city, Lu Yuan did not continue to stay, but directly advanced towards the mountain as shown on the map.
That night he arrived at a small town outside the mountains.
Rested for the night. After inquiring about the news from the locals, Lu Yuan entered the mountains alone.
The terrain of the Hengduan Mountains region is very complex, with ravines and ravines.
The altitude of the mountains is mostly 4000~5000 meters, and the height difference of the ridges and valleys is generally more than 1000~2000 meters.
The average altitude is more than 4000 meters. The mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and the traffic between the east and west is traversed, hence the name.
From west to east, the mountain range includes Boshula Mountain-Gaoligong Mountain, Ta Niantaweng Mountain-Nu Mountain, Mangkang Mountain (Tranquility Mountain)-Yunling, Qi'er Mountain--Shaluli Mountain, Daxue Mountain--Zheduo Mountain-Jinping Mountain, Qionglai Mountain--Dengshu Mountain--Daliang Mountain, etc.
Due to its special direction and geographical location, the Hengduan Mountains are of great significance in many scientific fields such as geography, geology, biology and hydrology.
The Hengduan Mountains have become a channel for the warm and humid air flow of the Indian Ocean to enter Zhuxia, which is blocked by the Himalayas and the Gangdis Mountains, two tall mountain ranges in the east-west direction, and the Hengduan Mountains along the north-south direction enter Zhuxia, bringing abundant rain to the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which has a significant impact on the development of glaciers and the distribution of plants here.
Because the formation process of the Hengduan Mountains gradually changes from near east to west to near north and south, the organisms here have gradually evolved very special adaptations, and have become a hot spot for animal and botanical research.
In addition, due to the difficulty of transportation in the Hengduan Mountains, many places are rarely affected by external influences.
Lu Yuan recalled the information he had found as he walked.
The location I am in now is Daliang Mountain, and it is still far from the destination.
Lu Yuan walked in the mountains and suddenly felt his insignificance.
He couldn't help but think of the continent of Mu and of Atlantis.
"Will the land I am walking on now sink to the bottom of the sea many years from now?"
Wandering forward with cranky thoughts all the way. At ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Yuan came to a stockade.
Lu Yuan asked the villagers to stay overnight, and the villagers received him warmly.
He was invited to a wedding in the village the next day.
Lu Yuan, who was alone in the middle of the night, picked up the phone and made a call to Sun Jia.
"Our Lu Da explorer, why did you think of calling me, you can't miss me, right?"
Sun Jia's teasing voice came from the other end of the phone.
Lu Yuan found that he had nothing to say for a while.
"How do you know I miss you, it can't be that you're thinking about me, right?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone: "Yes, I just miss you!"
"Tell me, what did you gain this time?"
"There's nothing to gain, it's all mundane. I'll be the first to show you when I go back to Yingzhou!"
"Really, that's great, then it's decided that if there are good things in the future, you have to show me first!"
"Of course, definitely!" Lu Yuan agreed with a smile.
The two talked on the phone this time and chatted for more than 1 hour.
A strange feeling rose from Lu Yuan's heart.
At the same time, Sun Jia also felt that she had a different feeling for Lu Yuan.
It's the first time she's talked to someone for so long about something other than work.
The next day, after Lu Yuan attended the wedding in the village.
Again towards the depths of the mountains. Lu Yuan looked at Gao Shan in front of him with a smile on his face.
If you climb the mountain ahead, you will enter a real no-man's land. What awaits you......
