"Brothers, pack up and get up!"
Lin Yi sent a message to the group, got up quickly, and went to wash up first.
After everything was ready, I went to the restaurant downstairs to pack four breakfasts and some seasonal fruits for Wukong to use as snacks.
The cold wind in the northwest is like a knife in the morning, and a gust of wind can blow people through.
What's more, they have now sailed into the vast Gobi Desert of Tengger.
The car was running against the wind, and it felt like gravel could shatter the front windshield and hit their faces at any time.
At the same time, there were many vehicles going in the opposite direction with them.
When I saw them, I stuck my head out to communicate with them:
"Don't go in. Everything inside has been sealed. No social vehicles are allowed to enter. Turn around and leave."
Wang Qiang greeted them from the driver's seat and continued to drive the car in.
"What's going on inside?"
"What else is going on? Just ban it. Look at what these self-media are posting. Desert monsters, Yellow River monsters, and chainsaw mass murderers are all out. If we don't ban them, why don't we wait for them to continue spreading rumors? "
Bai Lu held up her phone and showed others the popular local videos.
All kinds of bizarre rumors are rampant, but they are simply not too outrageous.
However, the remarks of a video blogger who did not want to show his face caught Lin Yi's attention.
"Wait, go back and see what the man just said."
"Hey, this kind of story that deliberately provokes national sentiments can be heard at my doorstep for a penny. You might as well listen to me make it up for you."
"Hush! Listen!"
Wang Qiang turned his head to the side angrily.
Bai Lu moved her fingers a few times and turned back the video.
"The location where the murder occurred in the Tengger Desert is very special. Why do you say that? Because at that time, it was said that a small force passed through Mongolia, entered from our Ganlong border, went around to our rear area, and tried to Let's attack from both front and back.
Just after their troops entered the country, they encountered a huge black sandstorm. The heavily armed troops lost their way in the desert. It is said that they did not make it out of Tengger alive. "
Wang Qiang even scorned the content he had fabricated.
"Little turtle's grandson is asking for his life? That's it? Lend Ya a hundred courages to see if he dares to explode?"
I just said that paying a penny to listen to eight paragraphs is considered a compliment to him. This is such a piece of shit, but no one wants to listen to it even if you pay for it. "
Lin Yi turned around and took Bai Lu's mobile phone and looked through the video content of this so-called "history blogger".
Basically, they are all such groundless rumors, and the wording is also ambiguous. At the end, I have to add one more sentence. The above content is purely personal collection and compilation. Do not take it seriously.
"There are too many people making this kind of pseudo-science videos now, just watch them for fun."
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully and returned the phone.
As they approached their destination, a warning cordon was set up early, extending at least three to four hundred meters from the incident site.
The roads that were blocked by onlookers from all walks of life have almost been cleared.
The officers on duty at the checkpoint, under the guidance of Wu Jingshan, checked their identities and the car was released.
Driving all the way to the lake where the crime occurred, several police cars were parked around, several marching tents were set up, and a temporary headquarters was built.
As soon as a few people got out of the car, a stench hit their faces.
The surrounding sand dunes have been covered with pumped sewage, dyeing the dunes black.
Lao Wei walked out of the tent wearing a military coat.
From the looks of it, he must have been watching from the scene since he didn't sleep all night.
"There is a major breakthrough, Consultant Lin. After the water pump drained the lake last night, it was detected that there was a passage hidden in the mud. Come and take a look."
With that said, he brought Lin Yi and the others into the tent.
The furnishings in the tent were simple, except for a camp bed, a folding table and chairs, a few mats and two thermos bottles.
A charcoal stove was set up in the middle for heating.
"Conditions are limited for field operations, so please forgive me."
After saying that, Lao Wei pulled a razor by himself and asked the technician to bring the laptop.
"This is Technician Liu. We dispatched him from the oil field to help. Xiao Liu, please tell Consultant Lin and others about the situation."
"Okay, here's the situation. After detection with our professional equipment, we found a cavity area under the lake. It is very large and has a height of at least six meters. The internal space is intricate and has many passages.
Below the area that is currently being dredged, we also found a huge metal device. Judging from the outline, it seems to be an exhaust fan. As for its power source, we have not yet figured out its power source. "
"Did you get any other information?"
Technician Liu shook his head.
"No, that's all for now."
Lin Yi nodded.
"Old Wei, what do you think?"
Old Wei put down the water glass in his hand, stood up and walked around the tent.
"According to Xiao Liu's judgment, this cavity is likely to be man-made. As for what happened to this metal device underground, we dare not draw conclusions yet."
"What do you think?"
Lin Yi turned his attention to Wu Jingshan.
At this moment, she was like a student whose name was suddenly called by the teacher, a little overwhelmed.
"I think this metal device is probably the mechanism that caused the lacerations on those people."
Lin Yi snapped his fingers.
"Yes, the situation at the scene is basically consistent with the information we had before. This was once a cave for hiding soldiers during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It's a long story, so I won't go into details.
As for this metal device, it is actually the ventilation equipment of the underground cave. "
"The Tibetan Soldier Cave in the Wei and Jin Dynasties? And there are metal ventilation equipment?"
It is not difficult to see from the expressions of other people at the scene that they are full of doubts and curiosity about this result.
"Consultant Lin, I would like to interrupt for a moment. Let's put aside the matter of the hidden soldier cave for now. It is this metal device. If it is really an exhaust fan as you said, then where does its power source come from?"
Lin Yi pointed at his feet.
"natural gas!"
"natural gas?"
This time not only Lao Wei and the others were confused, but even technician Liu was stunned.
"Don't be surprised. The wisdom of our ancestors is beyond our imagination. Third child, let me tell you what is going on."
'Okay. "
Qian Sheng stood up, quoted from many sources, and told them the whole story clearly and clearly.
"As early as the Han Dynasty, there is a record in the "Book of Han" that 'the fire garden of the Ancestral Temple was sealed in Hongmen'. Hongmen County was established in the Han Dynasty and belonged to Xihe County, in Shenmu City in the northern part of Sanqin today.
In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Li Daoyuan, the author of "Shui Jing Zhu", also mentioned natural gas in his works.
As for its use, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people in central Sichuan began to use "fire wells" to boil salt. "
After hearing his explanation, everyone suddenly realized.
The Tengger Desert is rich in natural gas reserves, and natural gas wells that burn for a long time often appear in the desert.
It’s no surprise that there’s a natural gas-powered exhaust fan here. (End of chapter)
