After several days of high-intensity labor and good rest, the team's physical reserves have generally increased. During the lunch break, the team's overall condition was also good, and there were only a few people gasping for air.
The arrangements for the afternoon were still continuous, but the time was not too long. The team was already closed at three or four o'clock, and the sense of proportion was very well grasped.
After such training and adequate sleep, the entire team will surely become stronger as they fight.
Another day passed by in a hurry. Although the sheep were already some distance away from the camp, they were still everywhere in the mountains and fields. The two were still closely integrated and inseparable.
As if she had been persuaded by Bai Ning, Jiang Yingxue did not continue to pester Bai Ning. The entire camp had fallen into complete silence at night. Except for some people standing guard silently, there were only bright lights.
Another day has come, and the campground is once again lively. After so many days of hard work, many people have been able to return to their best state of refreshment through sleep. They are stimulated by the fresh air in the plateau area, and it is another refreshing and beautiful day. .
After a few days of proficiency, the team advanced much faster. Just by poking at many layers of soil with a trekking pole, you can roughly know what is buried underneath.
The speed is faster and the search scope is wider, but the results obtained are still unsatisfactory.
The bodyguards didn't feel anything at all, and Jiang Yingxue's already forbearing temper could no longer be restrained.
They don't know how many years it will take to search this piece of land covering several hundred square kilometers.
It is better to take the team back now and then send a professional exploration team over. In this way, Jiang Yingxue will get rid of the possibility of being kidnapped alone, and the subsequent advancement can be faster.
Once such an idea was proposed, it did not get Bai Ning's consent, which surprised Jiang Yingxue.
Considering the breadth of this area, Bai Ning doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is in a hurry.
"Now is a good time to lure the snake out of the hole. If we come again next time, no matter how many people there are, it will only alarm Captain Dong and make him think that we are well prepared, so that he will not dare to get close at all.
Having someone with such ruthless tactics and no long-term plans behind him would be a disaster after all. Keeping him here is the best choice for the present and the future. "
The answer Bai Ning gave was simple and plain, but it also revealed a murderous intention.
Obviously, Bai Ning must have suffered a lot from Captain Dong when he fought against him in the Underground Dragon Palace last time. The original fight may have been much more dangerous than the calm expression Bai Ning showed.
To be on Bai Ning's must-kill list, it seems that Captain Dong is also guilty of many evil deeds and has already touched Bai Ning's red line of tolerance.
“But, does it really make sense to continue spending like this?
Or, can we find some clues related to it among the clues we obtained before? "
Facing this seemingly endless search, Jiang Yingxue was indeed a little unbearable and could only start to think of ways to solve the current predicament.
The most likely one is to find some clues among the things found in the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West.
Although most of them are unsolvable, there should always be some looming clues left.
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yingxue dialed Professor Huang's satellite phone and asked him to stay in the camp to study relevant information during this period. It was also time to inquire about the specific progress.
Regarding this urgent call, Professor Huang also roughly knew the purpose of Jiang Yingxue's visit, but these things were incomprehensible. Professor Huang was only admiring and speculating during this period, and did not make any substantial progress.
As for the research on treasure maps, since these are just abstract mountain and river charts without any detailed reference value, Professor Huang's response was also vague.
On the whole, Jiang Yingxue's whim idea is just wishful thinking.
Think about it, if Professor Huang has specific interpretation results of relevant data, he will definitely come over and report it.
Silence is also a feedback of ineffectiveness.
"Bring up the specific treasure details of the treasure map and let me take a look."
In the midst of a moment of silent disappointment, Bai Ning's words were like a spark, which once again lifted Jiang Yingxue's heart.
Could it be that her unintentional intervention will give rise to a different kind of inspiration in Bai Ning's heart?
After taking a closer look, Jiang Yingxue found nothing special on the map, which made Jiang Yingxue very confused.
“To design this treasure map, one must know the specific location of the Queen Mother’s initial refuge, and when marking the target location, she would not mark it randomly.
Although the accuracy of treasure icons like this is not too great, it is not too bad either.
Previously, we only focused on the middle part of the canyon. The error in this choice was too huge, which ultimately led to our current embarrassing situation.
If we zoom in on this map, we can actually delineate the approximate location of the evacuation point in the center area of the icon to some extent.
You should know that whether you draw a cross or replace it with another icon, the location mark will always be in the center area. "
Bai Ning picked up the enlarged treasure map and told Jiang Yingxue his final judgment.
This kind of judgment is a reinterpretation of icon symbols and a further abbreviation of specific locations.
Looking at the area in the treasure map that is enlarged, the center area of the icon should be near the river bed.
This seems a bit unreasonable. Whether it is to better avoid the apocalyptic floods or to surface the water as soon as possible when the floods recede, building a shelter halfway up the mountain is an excellent choice.
It is precisely because of this that Bai Ning was able to select three highly suspicious locations.
"If the inaccuracy of the icon is taken into account, the opening of this shelter should exist on the bank of the Nalengrad River.
In a place where water flows gather like this, the water pressure and flow impact it faces are also extremely high, which also imposes extremely high requirements on shelters.
Isn’t it a little too imprecise to abandon the best mid-hill option and place the entrance to the refuge in a riverside area?
Or, in fact, this kind of accuracy should continue to shift towards the mountainous area, which is a refuge place at the foot of the mountain. "
Jiang Yingxue gave her own opinion and determined that the area of the refuge was near the foot of the mountain. This idea was also correct. After all, the accuracy of the icons displayed there could not be overexplained.
"No, the design is by the river. The purpose is to use the scouring force of the water at low tide to clear debris from the refuge entrance and prevent the entrance of the refuge from being blocked by boulders.
Living near a river is a basic common sense for survival and water collection. Compared with building a city in the mountains, this kind of planning obviously takes into account the convenience of daily life after the flood recedes, and is overall reasonable.
Furthermore, the exit of the refuge point is just an exit, and the entire underground part should have chosen a more solid surface rock area.
What is being prevented should be the major earthquakes that may occur after the apocalyptic natural disasters.
Based on such comprehensive considerations, the mountainside hypothesis we previously identified is a short-sighted guess conclusion.
Let the team adjust the search scope and search the river beach part of this area first. "
Bai Ning did it as soon as he thought of it. He immediately began to adjust the personnel deployment and pulled the team to the predetermined area. I don't know if it was a coincidence. There were dense flocks of sheep in this riverbank area. It seemed that all the sheep were feeding on the freshest food here. waterweed.
Looking at the whole area, the terrain of this river beach area is gentle, very much like a large flat land that has been artificially rested.
Facing this scene, Jiang Yingxue's enthusiasm gradually increased, and her expectations for it became a little higher.
In this gravel beach, a large number of pastures grow between the rocks, and many pebbles washed out by the river appear sparsely on the riverside.
Actually being in such an environment and feeling the turbulent turbid river water beside her, Jiang Yingxue felt that this area was not suitable for living.
Alpine melt water also has strong seasonality. For example, the Tarim River will flood every summer when there is abundant snowmelt. Although the runoff of the Nalengrad River is not large, it will still flood the entire river beach in summer. .
When the ice-cold snowmelt river water pours in, it will be difficult to survive, let alone live here.
“Building rivers and protecting embankments is something engraved in the genes of farming civilization.
Facing a pile of ruins, we naturally cannot see the possibility of thriving here, but as long as two river embankments are built on both sides of the river, any riverside area will be fertile land for residential buildings. "
Bai Ning seemed to be aware of the doubts in Jiang Yingxue's eyes, and Bai Ning gave a few explanations, which seemed to be a common sense of life guidance for a rich girl like Jiang Yingxue.
“After more than a hundred miles of river embankments have been built, it would be better to place settlements halfway up the mountain.
Judging from the overall agricultural and animal husbandry situation, this area is more suitable for grazing, and there are not many places that can be cultivated. The return ratio of water conservancy projects seems to be extremely low. "
Feeling that her dignity had been challenged, Jiang Yingxue also argued from her own point of view, which was considered reasonable.
“If it were just an ordinary farming civilization, this mountainous area would naturally have no basis for farming, but you seem to have forgotten the advanced scientific inheritance possessed by the Queen Mother of the West.
Among the current agricultural technologies, whether it is greenhouse technology or soilless cultivation technology, the requirements for land are not very high. The only requirement is water source.
Under certain circumstances, as long as operation and maintenance costs are not concerned, the only things that can bind modern agriculture are water and sunlight. "
Bai Ning's response brought with it some high-tech knowledge of modern agriculture. Jiang Yingxue naturally heard about it and had a certain detailed picture of the ancient scene that once existed here.
Stretching greenhouses mixed with residential buildings are densely scattered here. With the abundant sunshine and abundant water resources in this valley, they form the material foundation of this paradise.
