Chapter 69: The Devil's Ear
Zi Yang looked at Su Rui and thought, if there was no such woman, Lao Wang's IQ would have been able to re-occupy the high ground.
After counting the supplies and instruments, Alexander lit an Alpine stove to make a fire and cook. Zi Yang appreciated this. No matter how difficult the conditions are, foreigners are more particular about their diet. If they can eat hot food, they will never let it be cold. Moreover, Alexander is particularly addicted to coffee, so he has to drink a few cups in the morning and evening.
Perhaps to show his sincerity, Alexander took out a stack of maps and shared the information he had with everyone. After marching in a daze for a few days, everyone finally knew the ultimate goal of this trip.
This stack of maps is actually a 8-sized satellite holographic photo.
Alexander pointed to a large ear-shaped area on the map and said, "This is the center of Lop Nur, where we are targeting."
Zi Yang looked at the photo and suddenly thought in his heart that this vein was very similar to a piece of human velvet paper on his hand. Zi Yang had figured out the twelve chapters of human velvet paper many times, and had already formed a clear impression in his mind. Chapter 7 There was a piece of paper with a few strokes outlined with simple strokes. He had always wondered what it was. Now he thought it was very similar to the shape around this big ear. Could it be that Qie Xue Jun had also been active here?
Lao Wang said: "After a long time, our destination is this ear and eye? I really didn't expect Lop Nur to see this bird from space."
Alexander explained: "In 1972, in a satellite image taken by NASA, it was discovered for the first time that there was such a clear large ear shape in the center of the Takramakan Desert in Xinjiang, China. This ear not only had several 'earlobes', but also 'ear holes' and 'ear lobes'. Later, people confirmed that this was the original Lop Nur, which formed a unique texture due to the long drying and shrinking of the accumulated water. Later, the United States published this information, which caused controversy and speculation around the world, and even formed a controversy about the Lop Nur wandering."
Zi Yang said, "Your action this time - our this time is not to verify that Lop Nur will run by itself, right?"
Alexander laughed and said, "Look, what's wrong with these pictures?"
Su Rui pointed to the ear hole and said, "This place has different changes in every picture."
Alexander said appreciatively, "Yes, you see, this is a satellite map from 1972, this is from 1989, this is from 1998, this is from 2005, this is from 2005, this is from 2005, this is from 2005, this is from 2005, this is from 2005..."
Zi Yang also saw that in these pictures, at the ear hole, the imaging of satellite images continues to shrink and expand, forming a regular change, which seems to be covered with a layer of tangible and quartz. Moreover, as the year approaches, the change period becomes shorter and more obvious.
Lao Wang said unhappily, "You Americans' satellites do not follow your own homes and run to our Chinese homes to see something randomly!"
Su Rui smiled and said to him, "Science does not distinguish between national boundaries."
Lao Wang smiled and said, "Is that true? Since this is the case, we will cooperate across countries and study together. You have the instruments and we have the strength!"
Zi Yang shook his head secretly. He had not changed Lao Wang's values for so many years. Su Rui's words made him turn from a blind patriotic traitor to a selfless internationalist warrior.
Alexander also said excitedly, "According to our speculation, this imaging change is not formed by geological structure changes. It is very likely that a huge, independent magnetic field has appeared here. As for the specific connection between this magnetic field and the ear of death, it is unknown. However, in recent years, many mysterious phenomena have been discovered nearby - recently a mysterious mummy was discovered, and there are even rumors that he is the legendary missing Peng Jiamu!!"
Zi Yang said, "Since there is such a huge discovery, countries around the world, including Chinese expedition teams, will they flock here?"
Alexander Avenue, "The information you see is the world's top secret. It is a discovery made by the detection satellite through the latest imaging technology and later combined with a large number of computer simulations. There are not many people in the world who can master these information."
Lao Wang next door asked, "Why do you have such confidential information? Which unit do you belong to?"
But Su Rui stopped him with his eyes, meaning not to ask any more questions. Lao Wang immediately became honest and depressed.
Looking at Alexander's excited eyes, Zi Yang remained silent next to him. The thing that was most worried about in his heart still happened. Alexander and his friends' purpose was not as simple as adventure. The scope of this matter involved was too large and too deep, and it had long exceeded the scope that he and Lao Wang could bear.
Seeing Zi Yang tightening his brows, Su Rui probably guessed what he was thinking. He said sincerely: "The purpose of our adventure is actually to study an ancient European race. Some mummies were unearthed in the Sun Cemetery and the Little River No. 5 Cemetery downstream of the ancient city of Loulan. After DNA analysis, archaeologists found that a period of nomadic life in Loulan area lived in a primitive European race with nomadic life. And at that time people had learned to use words and tools. Some people speculated that they might be the earliest Loulan people.
However, it is strange that in the 2,000 years that followed, there was no trace of this Loulan civilization, and there was no record in history books. It seemed that they suddenly disappeared. It was not until the Han and Jin Dynasties that civilization ruins appeared again here."
Zi Yang asked: "What do you mean is that there has been more than once civilization extinction in Loulan history?"
Su Rui nodded: "There are too many mysterious events in the Lop Nur area, and historians even make it the 'devil triangle area'. Our expedition is to study the disappearing ruins of civilization, and to investigate whether these mysterious phenomena are related to the magnetic field abnormality of Lop Nur."
Alexander said: "From the information we have in hand, in recent years, the magnetic field changes in the Lop Nur area have become more and more obvious, and the frequency is getting higher and higher. This situation has attracted our attention - this kind of change may be the root cause of the mysterious phenomenon of Lop Nur."
Su Rui said softly: Not only is it a prehistoric civilization, but in modern times, there have been many mysterious events in Lop Nur.
In 1949, a plane from Chongqing to Dihua (Urumqi) disappeared over Shanshan County. In 1958, it was discovered in the eastern part of Lop Nur, and all the people on board died. What is puzzling is that the plane was originally flying northwest, but suddenly changed its route and flew south.
In 1950, a guard of the bandit suppression force disappeared. More than 30 years later, the geological team found his body in Hongliugou on the south bank of Lop Nur, more than 100 kilometers away from the accident site.
On June 17, 1980, the famous scientist Peng Jiamu disappeared during his inspection in Lop Nur. The country dispatched planes, troops, police dogs, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to conduct a carpet-style search, but found nothing.
In 1990, seven people in Hami took a passenger and cargo car to Lop Nur to find the crystal mine, but they never returned. Two years later, people found three mummies lying on a steep slope. The car was 30 kilometers away from the deceased, and the whereabouts of others were unknown.
In the summer of 1995, three Milan farm employees went to Lop Nur to explore treasures in a Beijing jeep. Later, explorers found the bodies of two of them 17 kilometers away from Loulan. The cause of death was unknown and the whereabouts of the other were unknown. What is incredible is that their cars were intact, and they were not short of water and gasoline.
In June 1996, Chinese explorer Yu Chunshun disappeared during a lop Nur hiking adventure.
...
These are all recorded information that can be found publicly. As for some bizarre legends among the people, there are countless. Some say that they see immortal zombies in the desert, and some say that unknown creatures were found here...
Su Rui stopped here and remembered the smoke souls, giant lizards that they had encountered before, and those legends that seemed absurd to actually happen in front of them. No wonder Alexander was so excited. It seemed that Lop Nur does have some mysterious power, a mutation that can make "biota" violate the law of life and death.
