Chapter 71: Mysterious cave

Views:

Since 1964, a large number of nuclear tests have been conducted in the Lop Nur area, a considerable part of which are underground nuclear tests. On July 29, 1996, China finally successfully conducted an underground nuclear test and announced to the world on this day, Suspend nuclear experiments.

Ordinary people generally think that Lop Nur is the nuclear test site. In fact, this is inaccurate. Lop Nur is just a code name. The entire nuclear test site is actually from Bosten Lake to the east, to the north of the Kongque River, to the Kuluk Mountain in the north, and to Gansu Province in the east. A large area.

The main air-blast test was conducted on the Gobi, 80 kilometers northwest of the Lop Nur Lake Basin. The underground test was carried out in the basin and mountains about 200 kilometers northwest of Lop Nur.

There is still a certain gap between this address and the range of magnetic field changes we have monitored. Alexander said that there is no way to determine the relationship between the two, but a lot of mysteries have occurred before the nuclear test. The sudden change in the magnetic field occurred in recent years. At this time, nuclear testing has been suspended, so there may be no connection between the two.

After listening to Alexander’s explanation, Zi Yang felt a little relaxed. The expedition belongs to the expedition. The involvement of military secrets is another matter.

After resting for a while, everyone decided to continue on their way.

On the endless Gobi Desert, no matter how far you go, you will always see yellow sand and black soil. Zi Yang has gradually begun to have an illusion, time and space have stopped, they are like resin sealed in amber The ants always see the same scenery in front of them. If it weren't for Lao Wang who would call out hungry every once in a while, it really felt like time was still.

Had it not been for Alexander who had been holding the instrument for GPS satellite positioning, Zi Yang would have thought that they had lost their way. They walked around with the same scene, as if they were in a circle in the same place.

Lao Wang sat on the camel, yelling hungry for a while, thirsty for a while, and hungry and thirsty for a while.

Because the expedition lost most of the supplies, especially the shortage of water and food, Alexander decided to gather all the water and food, saying that it would be scientifically and quantitatively distributed to everyone. According to Alexander, this will not lead to dehydration and malnutrition, nor to "excessive" waste.

This should be aimed at Pharaoh. Pharaoh’s appetite is more than three normal people, and there is no moderation. Eating so much food does not necessarily contribute to mankind. It is all turned into shit, and it is indeed a waste.

Old Wang hummed for a long time and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he jumped off the camel and sat on the ground and stopped walking. I haven't been so hungry since I was young, and it seems that I am really hungry.

Alexander did not understand Chinese in this fashion, completely ignoring Pharaoh's protest. Holding the instrument in his hand to locate the position against the sky, while pinching his fingers, he counted silently. After a while, he turned his head and said to everyone that it was about to be ● 31 novel app download address ● arrived, we hurry up.

Lao Wang lay on the beach and couldn't get up. Zi Yang kicked him, "Hurry up."

Lao Wang hummed, "I'm dying, and I'm going to fall apart. If you want to go, you can go. I have to rest for at least two more hours."

Alexander said coldly, "When you get up now, you can give you an extra box of cans when you are going to eat."

The old Wang who pretended to be dead was alive as soon as he heard it, and he beckoned to Zi Yang and said, "Help me up, I think I can hold on."

Zi Yang had to secretly admire this thin bamboo-like foreigner, and only a few days after contacting him, he had already figured out Lao Wang's temperament.

Tonight the Gobi Desert was surprisingly calm, the air clarity was extremely high, and the moonlight pulled out a long figure behind everyone.

Zi Yang was sleepy sitting on the camel. Looking at the other people, the situation was mostly similar, and it seemed that they had reached their physical limits. Only Alexander was full of energy, sitting on the camel with a straight waist.

Zi Yang was at the back of the team and wrapped the reins around his hands for a few more laps, thinking that he wouldn't fall asleep later, if he fell behind, maybe he would have to be with the smoke souls and monitor lizards in the desert.

Alexander, who was at the forefront of the team, pulled the reins and slowed down intentionally. Slowly riding side by side with Zi Yang, Zi Yang is not energized to chat with him now, sitting half prone on the camel, as if his spine has been removed.

Alexander nodded with him and said, "Keep walking in this direction, and you should reach your destination soon."

Zi Yang didn't want to talk to him, he wanted to find a place to lie down and sleep comfortably.

Alexander said again, "Go ahead of you, I'm behind the house."

Zi Yang looked at him gratefully and nodded. I thought that this thin bamboo pole would make me want to squint for a while.

After a long time in a daze, I suddenly heard Su Rui's panicked voice: "Dr. Alexander? Dr. Alexander?"

Zi Yang shook his head and looked back and saw a chill in his heart. Alexander, who was walking at the back of the team, disappeared without a trace. Only Xiao Hei, Lao Wang, Timur, and Su Rui were left alone in the vast desert.

The old Wang next door raised his head in a daze. He heard that Alexander had disappeared and shouted angrily, "This bastard ran away with our food? Grass, it's not a thing!"

Su Rui said anxiously, "No, Alexander is not like that. Something must have happened. We must go back and find him."

Zi Yang thought, "Looking? How to find it, this big Gobi can't see the edge at a glance. There is not even a ghost in the surrounding area for more than a dozen miles. Just based on how many people are now, when will you find it?"

But these words were embarrassing to say clearly, looked at Timur, thinking that your old man is old, and talk about her.

Timur spread his hands and made an expression that I didn't know anything. Zi Yang's teeth are itchy, this guy is useless except to care about camels!

At this time, Lao Wang and Su Rui had turned their heads, and drove the camel back along the way they had come. Zi Yang shook his head, mindless and irritable, the two people really had some understanding.

But when I thought that all the food and water were on Alexander’s camel, there was really no other choice but to find him. I reluctantly switched the camel and prepared to look for it later, then turned to look at Timur, and wanted to ask him if he When we went back together, Timur spread her hands together, again with a noncommittal expression.

Zi Yang turned his head and cursed a swear word.

Looking back after a while, Timur drove the camel to follow him.

Everyone is groggy, and no one knows when Alexander was lost. It is easy to find someone in this vast desert, but considering the unpredictable situation here, it is also difficult to do.

In order to avoid unexpected situations and increase the search area, Zi Yang suggested that everyone spread out side by side, separated by more than ten meters, and connected people with climbing ropes. Although the efficiency is low, it is considered very thoughtful in terms of safety. If you encounter a gas eye or something, you can at least rescue it, if you encounter a monitor lizard, smoke soul or something, you can only resign it to fate.

Zi Yang wondered as he walked, what should he do if he fell into the eye of anger? To make matters worse, what should I do if I was eaten by Smoke Soul

While thinking about it, suddenly the old king on the far right of the team shouted, "There is a situation here! There is a hole in the ground."

The crowd was about to surround him, Timur gesturing to stop everyone, cautiously climbed down the camel, and tentatively put the iron in his hand on the ground.

After confirming that the ground under their feet is solid, everyone gradually moved closer to the old king.

Sitting on the camel, Lao Wang dared not come down, and stammered: "What, what, am I standing in the eye of the breath?"

"Old Li, you can't leave me behind, let's be brothers anyway; Xiao Hei, remember to save me later, brother has treated you well; Su Rui, there is still a piece of chocolate hidden in my backpack. … It’s a gift I left for you, thinking about me later… The point is, you have to leave me a whole body… ”

Zi Yang heard the old Wang tremblingly explain the funeral, and said impatiently, "Don't be nervous, we are just making sure that no accident will happen."

The land was solid all the way to Lao Wang.

After Pharaoh’s repeated confirmations, a Gu Lu turned over from the camel and regained his heroic spirit. "Oh my god, it turned out to be a false alarm. Just now I showed my true feelings and I didn’t know what to say, so don’t take it seriously. on."

Everyone ignored him, and looked at the hole in front of which was less than one meter in diameter.

The ground around the entrance of the cave is very flat, and if you look at it from a distance, you won't find a hole here. The bottom is dark and bottomless.

Su Rui inserted two fixed piles at a safe distance, put on the safety belt, hung the climbing rope, lay on the edge of the hole, and threw a light stick into the hole. After a while, the light stick popped. It fell to the bottom of the hole with a click, lying there emitting a faint light.

Su Rui looked at the digital watch on his wrist, and said silently for a while: "About 17 meters. The hole is solid."

Zi Yang observed around the entrance of the cave and said, "The dirt traces are all old, it seems that they are not stomping eyes. Did you say that Alexander fell into the cave without paying attention?"

Su Rui said, "It is possible, but if Alexander adds a camel, the volume is not small, and the diameter of the hole is only about 1 meter..."

The old king said, "It's not impossible. Look at this, the camel will be planted with the head down," he said compared to the action of a diving athlete entering the water.

Zi Yang shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Alexander... ,"

A dull echo came from the bottom of the hole.

The old Wang next door also shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Alexander, come up, I don't want canned food, don't hide..."
