After hearing Jia Sidao's words, Zhang Ling nodded and said, "Not only that, but also the fog and the west wind belt. No wonder so many adventurers have failed. To be here..." She paused and stopped talking, but everyone Understand that what she wanted to say was "it is impossible to find the Shambala cave in this environment".
Big Eye said: "Actually, I always thought that Shambala Cave was in the desert, but I didn't expect it would be on the snow-capped mountain."
Jia Sidao smiled and said: "I thought so before, but the wolfskin map pointed here. We can only come here to find it."
I sighed and became a little anxious. I thought I could only grab the map after nine deaths. This time I had the greatest hope of finding the Shambala Cave, but the cruel reality turned my dream into ashes.
Here, no equipment can be used, eyesight can only see one or two meters away, and the west wind pushes people back as soon as they climb up the ridge. There is also the giant beast hiding in the mist. It catches people from time to time and eats them alive. It is chilling to think about it.
Zhang Ling suggested: "We went over the ridge to take a look. Now we only hope to find something from the other side."
Jia Sidao was still walking at the front of the team. He had just climbed to the top of the ridge, and suddenly his body was suspended in the air. He grabbed the rope, and we hurriedly pulled him back from behind.
Jia Sidao changed his face and said, "Did we get out of the snowdrift? How come we feel that we are still on the edge of the snowdrift, and there is no way to reach the top of the ridge. Is this entire ridge a T-shaped cliff?"
Zhang Ling said immediately: "Impossible. We climbed up step by step from below. The ridge cannot be a T-shaped cliff. However, it is possible that a Z-shaped cliff will appear."
Jia Sidao pondered for a moment, and said, "Why don't I go down and have a look?"
The main rope was fixed and thrown down, Jia Sidao fastened his seat belt and slid down the rope. In a moment, his figure disappeared into the vast fog. With the passage of time, everyone’s hearts became higher and higher. Just when I was almost unable to restrain myself from pulling the rope to contact Jia Sidao, Jia Sidao climbed up again and kept breathing oxygen for a long time before he was relieved. Come on.
Jia Sidao slowly came over, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "No, I can't see the bottom. I slid about a hundred meters away, and I haven't touched Ren
Something substantial. There is white mist all around, and nothing can be seen. I fired a zip line around, but I didn't touch anything. "
Zhang Ling repeated the data and said: "Slide 100 meters, and there is no mountain within 20 meters. That is to say, the ridge is a cliff pattern inclined to one side, and the other side of the ridge is completely inwardly inclined, and the inclination angle is very large. This It is consistent with the bold deductions of some experts in Beijing. The experts infer that there is a lot near here, which is a valley formed by the fissure of the ridge. It is very likely that the place is the location of Shambala Cave Pa."
As she said, she placed the tips of her fingers in an inverted "kuan" shape, then separated her hands for a certain distance, looked at the right hand and said, "This is the snow-capped mountain in the east."
Looking at his left hand again, he said, "This is the snow mountain to the west."
Finally, he looked at the gap between his hands and said, "This is the Xuefeng rift that the experts inferred. Below is the location of the Shambala Cave."
I suddenly said: "It turned out to be like this. This is not a snow-capped mountain at all, but two, with an insurmountable crack in the middle."
Big Eye also understood, and he gave a high-five and said: "Here is fog all year round, and the strong magnetic field interferes with all electronic instruments. With these two natural protective layers, no matter if it’s satellite aerial photography or close observation, it’s impossible to see. The true appearance of the big crack. No wonder... No wonder no one has been able to find the Shambala cave after more than a hundred years. Even if the cave is in front of you, you can’t see it! But this place is too big, plus this In ghost weather, looking for a specific location is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack."
I said, "It would be great if we had the entire map."
Big Eye said: "Even if you have a whole map, what if you know? Now our problem is how to find the place where we can go."
Zhang Ling murmured: "Originally, there was only one area marked on the map, pointing to the top of the snowdrift peak and its surrounding Weifeng. However, we dropped several times during the interview on the top of the peak, and each time we slid more than 100 meters away. The mountain can be touched at one time. The key is that the fog is too big. We are a step late, and there is no way to bypass the ridge. I hope to find the edge of the breach. Now it seems,
The gap is estimated to be larger than I expected. Judging from the range covered by the mist, the diameter is probably more than 30 kilometers. "
All the people looked at the fog and sighed, how much better is it than finding a needle in a haystack to try to sag in such a large area? How long does it take to complete? Moreover, what we chose was the windiest and sunny day on this hill. If we change the rest of the time, the wind of a knife of only one hundred meters per second would be enough to kill all lives.
Zhang Ling suddenly said, "Let's hang down and try in a different place. This time I will go down."
I asked carefully: "You? All right?"
Zhang Ling smiled and said, "Look at me? Although I don't have the skills of Old Man Jia, I have more information about this Xuefeng than you. It's most suitable for me to go down."
Jia Sidao thought for a while and said, "Also, we are choosing a pilot."
The group of people continued to retreat along the ridge to the southeast, walked a few hundred meters, and selected a test point. Everyone started the installation and prepared to put Zhang Ling down.
During Zhang Ling's decline, Big Eye suggested: "If... If this crack is big enough, can we risk using a parachute?"
"No!" Jia Sidao vetoed it immediately, saying: "How is the wind down here, what it is like, and what is there, we don't know anything. We can't see anything. What should we do if the parachute is suspended in the air? What should I do if the parachute descends in front of the snowman? And with this natural shielding layer, I am afraid that once it goes down, it will lose all contact with the outside world. Then, can you come out after going down? Are there conditions and space for survival below? There are too many unknown factors, even if it is a risk, you can’t take the risk that the certainty is zero."
I said: "If a laser launcher is installed at the safe landing site, it should be located directly from space by satellite, this should work, but now there is no signal, and Zhang Ling can't contact Beijing."
Jia Sidao added: "There is one more point, I hope you can pay attention. Before us, there have been countless people here. I believe that many of them have taken the risk of jumping off, but they have not succeeded. In other words, go down. No one can come out again."
At this moment, Zhang Ling came back climbing the rope.
