Chapter 497 Mole
After parked the car, everyone got out of the car. Aaron asked the people to gather. Seeing that they had arrived, he said, "Now it's about two hours before dark. Let's go ahead and explore the way. Everyone brought bombs to me, and loaded all the foreigners' vehicles with bombs. These wolves' ambitions will never come back. Don't let anyone who infringes on our resources, let these people die without any corpses."
Aaron arranged four special guards to stay to protect the vehicle. He took the others to the parking place quickly, and everyone arrived at the parking place in more than ten minutes.
The first thing Aaron did was to arrange for everyone to install bombs. These bombs could be detonated remotely. It took hundreds of cars almost an hour to load them.
After loading the bomb, under Bailongjiang's leadership, everyone walked about a kilometer to the left. Bailongjiang pointed to a huge ice cave several hundred meters away and said: "The scientific expedition team and militants from other countries entered this ice cave?"
Everyone looked at the Black Ice Cave, and they all showed confusion. Chen Yu asked: "Bailongjiang, are you saying that the scientific expedition team entered the hinterland of the ice field from this ice cave? Instead of climbing up along the ice tongue and entering the hinterland of the ice field from the surface of the ice field? No wonder, if this is the case, it makes sense, but is this ice cave that long? From here, it can be at least hundreds of kilometers to enter the hinterland of the ice field. Could this ice cave be so long?"
Bai Longjiang said: "I don't know this. I can't calculate it. If the scientific expedition team really enters the hinterland of the ice field, this is the only channel."
Aaron pondered for a while and said, "Let's go around the ice cave first. If there is no special situation, we will go into the ice cave early tomorrow morning to find the whereabouts of the scientific expedition team."
The road to Bing Cave is very easy to walk. The road surface is covered with sand and stones, and there is no grass growing around it, and there is no green plant.
After a while, everyone came to the glacier and looked at the Puruangri Glacier not far away. Everyone was amazed by the huge ice cover! The white giant ice that was dozens or even hundreds of meters thick covered the mountain, which was crystal clear and beautiful in the sun.
Especially the ice towers of different shapes, rows of ice ridges and ice caves that are sophisticated that they are in it, and feel the power of nature's magical creation for millions of years.
Standing under the glacier, Chen Yong could still feel the cruelty of this world. He saw many huge ice cubes remaining in the riverbed and on the mountains beside him, indicating that this place was once part of the Puruangri Glacier.
Chen Yong remembered that he had read a piece of information about Puruangri in his previous life. The data showed that as the temperature of the earth continued to rise, the area of Puruangri glacier was shrinking. Some scientists said that he detected an ice tongue in Puruangri. The ice tongue was found to have retreated 50 meters in the past 20 years, but now it has retreated 5 meters in one year.
The culprit of glacier retreat is global climate warming. Over the past 50 years, the cryosphere on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has melted rapidly, and the glacier area in the plateau and its adjacent areas has been reduced from 53,000 square kilometers to 45,000 square kilometers.
Scientific research shows that climate warming is more severe in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau area: from 1961 to 2016, the annual average temperature here increased by about 0.33 degrees Celsius every 10 years.
The direct result of warming climate and glacier retreat is the increase in ground runoff. Scientific research found that the number of lakes larger than 1 square kilometer on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau increased from 1,081 to 1,236, and the lake area increased from 40,000 square kilometers to 47,400 square kilometers. In particular, Selincuo, about 100 kilometers south of the Puruangri Glacier, the lake area expanded from 1,667 square kilometers in 1976 to the current 2,394 square kilometers, an increase of about 43%.
The high cold of the earth has created a magnificent glacier wonder, but the warming of the earth has ruthlessly destroyed it.
The power of nature is great and awesome, but at the same time it is extremely fragile and insignificant.
Everyone came to the entrance of the ice cave and saw ice belts dozens of meters long at the entrance, hanging down from the top of the ice cave, like transparent tapes, sheltering the entire entrance of the ice cave. The ground of the ice cave was filled with dense pointed ice cones, which might be caused by dripping water on the top of the ice cave.
If you want to enter the ice cave, you have to knock off the ice cone on the ground. Otherwise, if you step on such a hard ice cone, you will definitely pierce your feet.
Bai Longjiang suddenly pointed into the ice cave and shouted loudly: "Look, everyone, there are many corpses inside."
Only then did everyone look into the ice cave and find dozens of corpses lying on the deepest ground in the ice cave. These corpses are covered with ice cubes. If they weren't for their bright eyes, they wouldn't have been found at such a long distance.
Chen Yu asked: "Captain Dragon, why don't we go in and take a look?"
Along said: "If you want to enter, you have to use something to knock down the ice cones on the ground. It's more than 100 meters away. When will so many ice cones be hit? It's already seven o'clock in the evening and it's dark in half an hour. Let's go back to the camp first, set up a tent and prepare for camping. In another hour, the weather will change. By then, the wind will be at least seven or eight levels. If you want to set up a tent, we'd better go back first and talk about other things tomorrow."
Everyone rushed back to the camp as fast as possible, and then everyone started to set up tents.
Setting up a tent here is not easy. The tent must be firmly set up, otherwise the entire tent may be blown away by the wind when the wind blows at night. Therefore, you must also nail it and fix it with a rope. You must also fill it with sand and stone around the bottom of the tent canvas. You must also bury a thick layer of sand and stone, so that the cold wind will not let the cold wind blow into the tent.
When the tent was almost set, Ye Lingfang asked people to start cooking. Tonight, everyone ate a little noodles simply. As soon as they finished the meal, the weather began to change. Suddenly, the wind blew, and the temperature began to change suddenly. It was close to the glacier here, and the temperature had dropped to about minus 17 or 18 degrees Celsius. As the night gradually became darker, the temperature became colder and colder.
Fortunately, there are glaciers on all sides of this place, and the wind blowing in is not that strong. The people who watch tonight are also relatively relaxed. They drove a large truck and blocked the import and exit. As long as they sat in the truck and watched the import and exit, they could not enter other places. Besides, it was so cold and the wind was so strong that it was difficult for people to walk on the road. It was even more impossible to get into the search and rescue team.
