Is the world around us as vulgar as we see with our naked eyes? Are there some secrets hidden behind it that we have never imagined?
The black hole exploded
1989, a large stone factory in Dabie Mountains was breaking the rocks, and a bottomless black hole suddenly exploded. The powerful airflow blown out of it actually blows the dust stirred up by the explosion. The workers in the distance were shocked by such a vision!
The leaders rushed over and led the experts to observe the black hole, but were trembling all over by the cold air blown out. You know, it was a hot summer at that time, with the scorching sun! I don’t know if the pungent smell blown out from the hole is poisonous? For safety reasons, the leader immediately decided to transport a large piece of thick steel plate to seal the hole, and no one is allowed to get close to it!
10 After a few hours, an expert team sent by the province came to inspect. They tried every possible way but couldn't send the person into the hole - the entrance of the hole was too small for adults to get in at all. In the end, the experts had to put down a deep-seater camera, but the images, including the sound, were taken back to the province as top secret information, and the leaders of the stone factory strictly prohibited workers from inquiring.
Mysterious black hole
What weirdness is hidden in the hole? How deep is it? Did the experts discover some shocking secrets when they concealed this way?
There are many versions circulated by workers in private. Some people say that the camera recorded the strange roar from the depths of the cave, which was dull as cows but intermittent, which made people creepy when they heard it; some people say that the camera captured the walls of the caves covered with colorful crystals and gems, and many strange-shaped soft insects crawling; some people say that this black hole is a bottomless pit, with hundreds of meters of ropes and cables placed at the end, but the bottom still cannot be reached...
The rumors are rumored, but what can be confirmed is that the entire stone factory was moved 100 kilometers away as a whole; later I heard that the abandoned stone factory where the black hole was located was sent in many armed police officers and soldiers, and a power grid was also pulled up around...
Power grid
This suspenseful news made me feel troubled at the time (I still remember that I was in junior high school at that time), and I kept trying to find out the final answer. Later, a relative who had worked in a coal mine for many years came to my house for dinner and scoffed at my doubts at the table. When he was drunk, he told me the more strange things they had experienced in a mine a few hundred meters deep...
He said that what coal miners fear most was "exploding the top" (that is, landslide); what they often see or hear is "explosion" - it means that while digging, suddenly digging a huge space, the one with water inside is called "water hollow", the one with gas is called "air hole", and the more bizarre "fire hollow", "sand hollow", etc.
Horror big explosion!
The most terrifying time, they also encountered a huge space, which was full of all kinds of huge bones, countless, and strange shapes, but they didn't look like the dinosaur fossils mentioned in the book... Later, the mine was closed.
I was stunned by his lies. Just as I was about to ask the bottom of the question, he waved impatiently, "Where are there any strange things in which industry? If you want to hear this, you have to find geological prospectors. They deal with such things all day..."
I felt that I was trapped in a bigger trap, or a huge black hole - a geological prospector? Do they live in the so-called "invisible world" all day long? From then on, I began to find ways to find opportunities to meet geological prospectors. During the college entrance examination, I was thinking about applying for that major!
The profession I longed for when I was young! More than 0 years later, on a boring weekend, the sun was shining and the world was as noisy and quiet as ever. I finally met the real geological prospector - my classmate's father under the guidance of my college roommate!
At his house's wine table, he kept talking, haha, just refused to talk to the point.It was not until I filled 6 bottles of beer in a row that he pulled up those mysterious pasts with his tongue...
(The following is the first person to use the first person instead of the old uncle to tell it. Please forgive me!)
That was a few years ago. At that time, he was warned by his leader as soon as he joined the exploration team. In the future, he must not spread any strange things in his work, so as not to cause unnecessary panic - this is the first professional quality that every scientific worker should possess!
The mysterious events of geological exploration
Such a strange request immediately aroused the curiosity of several of us young people. It seems that there is an article here. Could it be that the exploration team will encounter something bizarre...?
Next, not long after, we truly appreciated the true connotation of this requirement...
In the spring of that year, several of us young people were sent to the Hengduan Mountains at the junction of Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet to assist in scientific exploration, and the specific task was to record data on the plane.
Bird view of the Hengduan Mountains on the plane
This is a boring job! At first, I looked down at the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland from a high altitude and felt very excited; but over time, the scene below was winding and vast, just like the map. The boring data made everyone drowsy...
Just as the plane passed through several of the inconspicuous mountains (in reality, they were all towering mountains above 4,000 meters above sea level, and no one had stepped on many canyon peaks since ancient times), a geomagnetic detection device in front of me suddenly called the alarm abnormally. The harsh "drip" sound suddenly broke the calm in the cabin, and everyone quickly turned their heads and looked over.
, the leader of the team hurriedly came over to observe, and the messy magnetic line showed waves of pulsation. After observing quietly for a while, the leader could see the trick - these pulsations seemed to conform to some law! He quickly ordered the driving team to narrow the scope and try to accurately locate the area with dense magnetic fluctuations.
Sharuri Mountains
The aircraft circled and circled, and the data slowly stabilized. According to the positioning, we are currently in the area of the Sharuli Mountains. Data shows that the altitude here actually reaches an astonishing 5 or 6,000 meters! Professor Li, the science and technology director led by
, kept staring at various exploration data, and didn't say a word for a long time. Other young people were having a lot of discussions and had mixed disputes. In the end, it was difficult for each other to convince each other, so they had to calm down and wait for Professor Li's conclusion.
His eyes were empty, as if he was wandering outside the sky, and the thick glasses were hazy behind them. "I think it seems to be a characteristic of a living body... The specific situation may require further on-site investigation... Can the ancient legends of the 'Hori-Breaking Heart' actually...?"
Hori-Breaking Heart!
Professor Li's words are as mysterious as him. We were even more confused when we heard this, but no one dared to ask. Everyone's stomach was filled with questions: What is the "broken heart"? What ancient legend is it? ...Are the entire mountain ranges hidden in life forms? How big is that? ...This doesn't make sense in science!
Shortly after this exploration, the Exploration Institute was led by Professor Li to start recruiting a field survey team. I almost signed up first.
A group of 20 people entered the Hengduan Mountains in early summer. Unexpectedly, it took only half a day to walk on the plane, but the road was very long and arduous!
The guide who left alone
Under the guidance of the local Tibetan compatriots, we abandoned the car and walked for seven or eight days before we arrived near the destination on the map. As soon as everyone set up a tent in the meadow area halfway up the mountain, the guide with great worries came to see Professor Li. He talked a lot, and then he kept bent down and saluted with guilt, pulling his horse away with his supplies. What is the situation with
? We were put on pigeons? There was a riot in everyone.Professor Li announced with a serious expression that the area ahead is a taboo place passed down from generation to generation by local Tibetan compatriots. The guide can no longer accompany us, and we can only rely on ourselves!
All the people were in a heavy mood after hearing this news. Everyone returned to their tents dejectedly, thinking about their uncertain future. But I have an inexplicable trust in Professor Li. I fell asleep after going back. It may be because of the lack of oxygen on the plateau. I have been having nightmares all night and I am very tired.
Alpine Flower Sea
When everyone first started to set off on the road the next day, no one was willing to say a word, and the team seemed a little boring. However, when it was almost noon, everyone climbed to the end of the mountain meadow, and the scene there surprised everyone and suddenly the crowd was excited!
This cold and quiet is like a sea of clouds in another world, which is filled with all kinds of unknown wild flowers! The spreading flowers swayed and merged into a whole sea of flowers, colorful and vast, making everyone excited.
Green Velvet Artemisia
I am ashamed to admit that I have learned too little knowledge. I cannot tell you the names of various wild flowers like Professor Li, such as Green Velvet Artemisia , Taoer Qi , Shanlan , Xikang Tiannu Flower , etc.; nor is it as full of literary talent as those two female compatriots, and they are in tune with the situation!
So, I could only follow Professor Li silently and listen to him tell the story of those beautiful mountain elves.
gradually left this unobstructed sea of flowers, and when you walked up, you were filled with rugged weathered rocks and gray moss. The damn altitude sickness caused me to have a constant headache. My limbs were as heavy as lead. I had to stop and breathe a few times if I couldn't walk a few steps.
Taoerqi
Professor Li is very concerned about me, a "left behind student". He stops to wait for me from time to time, or holds my arm to encourage me. Just when I felt deeply ashamed and sighed that I was not as good as Professor Li, a young man, my colleagues who were almost reaching the peak suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Wow, that's the ancient glacier, right? It's so spectacular!", "Don't mess around, that's called the ice cap! The traces of the ancient glacier..." I was excited and quickly stepped up my pace when I heard everyone's exclamation.
Under the brilliant sunshine, the layers of mountains in the distance are dazzling, and the most dazzling one is the ice lakes of various shapes. It is like a mirror, or a blue tiles, calmly reflecting the white clouds in the sky; or it is snow-white, reflecting the sun, with great light, almost competing with the sun; under the ridges are dark shadows, which are bright in black and white, and the whole magnificent shock!
Ancient Glacier
Just as we were shouting excitedly, we turned our heads and saw Professor Li frowning with his eyebrows and fiddling with several machines alone, constantly adjusting his position, as if he was facing a great enemy.
Everyone felt a little ashamed and hurriedly took their own positions, performed their own duties, and started to use the equipment they carried with them. As a series of data reports came out, the doubts on everyone's faces became increasingly intense, and they no longer had the joy and ease they had just now.
According to the data integration, the mountain range in front of you is like the branches and forks of a big tree, gradually gathering from the chaotic branches to the huge trunks, and the mysterious magnetic pulsations gradually gather into bunches and gathering under the main peak mountain range. The frequency of all branches and main trunks is surprisingly consistent, and this situation does look full of strange feeling!
Trunk and branch
Could it be that it is like the professor's guess, is there a huge life form hidden under this mountain range? Oh my God, a thin branch is a row of peaks. How huge are the main trunk and main body? These thoughts violently impacted my worldview. For a moment, I felt that reality was a little disconnected from the knowledge I learned, as if it was schizophrenia...
Professor Li guided everyone to record the data nervously, find various nodes, summarize and guess the direction of the main pulse.After working hard for most of the day, everyone was both nervous and excited. Seeing that they all looked tired but their eyes were lit, they were probably the same as me, excited, nervous and puzzled...
Finally, it was night and everyone could rest, but everyone squeezed into the professor's big tent at the same time. Needless to say, they were all like me, pursuing the same goal!
Queen Mother of the West?
Under the dim battery light, the professor was smoking a pipe, and the light smoke lingered. He talked freely, from legendary myths and ancient beasts in the classics of the Mountains and Seas, and talked about unofficial historical notes from all dynasties, novels and miscellaneous words, to some strange legends everywhere... In the end, he concluded that for thousands of years, our ancestors had talked about some mysterious huge creatures, which were buried underground and did not seem to have much direct intersection with humans.
However, they are affecting our earth in another form of life, and then slowly and secretly affecting human life... Their concept of time and space is different from that of humans. After being perceived by our ancestors, some of them are still deified, such as the "dragon", the "Queen Mother of the West"...
The huge candle dragon?
My God, what are you talking about? At some point, I seemed to feel the respected old professor in front of me a little bit muttering.
"...We who do science must at least maintain our own skepticism! We doubt everything, imagine boldly, verify carefully, and do not believe in any dogma. This is the true spirit of scientific exploration..." The professor finally summarized this sentence, and everyone dispersed.
That night, I was dizzy and dreamed: I was the Queen Mother of the West who was in charge of the world. She was actually the biggest monster herself, extremely huge, and her body was like a huge towering tree, hiding under the Hengduan Mountains; her branch tentacles scattered like branches and leaves, walking under various mountain lines, waiting for an opportunity to move...
Ice cap
After a while, I dreamed of the great god Zhulong of the Mountains and Seas. , the body is as long as thousands of miles away, opening your eyes is the daytime, closing your eyes is the night...
In the next half month, we young people suffered a lot, following Professor Li climbed snow-capped mountains during the day, exploring the ice lake, sleeping in tents at night, listening to the cold wind mixed with some inexplicable roar, raging in our dreams...
finally determined the direction of the magnetic signal. The next time was to enter these deep mountain canyons to find clues, visit the primitive residents in this area, and inquire about their legendary strange events.
Mysterious Tibetan dance?
At this time, I realized that the Tibetan people were originally divided into multiple branches, such as Weizang , Kangba , Ando , Jiarong , Gongbu and many other names! We walked through valleys after valley and met many Tibetan compatriots. I couldn't tell the difference between their ethnic groups. As we walked into the mountains, the less and less people were.
Later, our group came to that strange valley. According to the data, this place should be not far from the source of the magnetic signal we are looking for.
The strange thing about this big valley is that it is high and steep, with a narrow valley bottom of only two or three miles wide, and its vertical altitude is one or two thousand meters! The valley looks green like shade, just like a subtropical climate; but it keeps climbing along the cliffs on both sides of the shore, the vegetation and temperature are changing rapidly, all the way to the alpine climate of cold zone .
Alpine canyon
Standing in the brilliant sunshine halfway up the mountain, looking back to look at the cliff, it was so dark that it was so dark that it was as dangerous and deep as hell! The second peculiarity of this valley is that it is divided into several pieces as if it were several major steps, composed of roaring waterfalls, rising up layer by layer, which is spectacular!
After we tried our best to climb the third level waterfall cliff, we rarely encountered Tibetan compatriots in the narrow valley.Everyone walked forward for about ten miles, and finally found some primitive residents wearing overgrown animal skins and long hair in the cliff cave hidden by the primitive forests.
Although they don’t look flattering, they treat us very friendly. Each of them has clear eyes, shining with the light of sincere joy and love. Finally, he found a short old man with a long beard. He could speak a few Chinese words. Professor Li was overjoyed and hurriedly handed over a cigarette and sat on a big rock and started chatting with him.
Kind Tibetan
After nearly two hours of chatting, he got up and gave some of our nourishment to these kind and innocent locals. Although the bearded old man looked melancholy, he still cleaned up and followed Professor Li to serve as a guide.
Slowly, from Professor Li's mouth, we heard some messy information: the inheritance of their small tribe was actually very long. According to the stone carvings on the cliff, it was almost thousands of years old. The place where this tribe originally lived was still several waterfalls far upstream, which was like spring all year round.
But later it is said that in order to avoid a mountain god, he had to move downstream. The so-called mountain god still exists today, but it is not too ferocious; animals in the mountains gather to worship the mountain god once a year, and this tribe will also send the captured live prey in advance to show respect!
The mountain god of Tibetans?
The old man with a beard is the patriarch of this generation. The destination he wants to lead us to is the place where a madman lives in the uppermost place (the uppermost that ordinary people can reach). It is said that the madman knew many secrets about the mountain god, and only the madman dared to sacrifice the sacrifices every year...
Next, the old man led us forward for another three days. These three days have made almost all young people unforgettable for life:
When we walked past a waterfall, almost all the members of the exploration team were drunk, and several colleagues couldn't move on - the scenery in front of us was so beautiful!
The waterfall is stacked
This section of the waterfall is very smooth, so you are afraid that there are not hundreds of layers? Fortunately, the drop of each floor is only one or two meters high, just like the hundreds of terraced fields in a farmhouse!
The most dazzling thing is that there is a strange plant growing in the hundreds of waterfalls. The whole tree is pink and shaped like the coral in the sea, swaying with the water flow; although it is only 30 cm tall, it is dense, like pink jungle - everyone feels like walking in a dream...
Strange plant in the water
Finally, we finally came to a towering ancient tree. The old man stopped and waved his hand to let everyone retreat to the distance and not look here; he only took the professor alone and carried a can of honey wine brewed by the locals, close to the big tree. After a strange roar, the two of them slowly approached the hole of the big tree...
After this mysterious meeting, all of us returned the same way, and the professor frowned along the way and never spoke. It was not until our group left the mountains completely and returned to the nearest hotel that Professor Li opened up and said something shocked the audience.
The madman I saw that day was a weird person, or a strange creature wandering on the edge of humans: he was always naked, and his body was cold all year round like a cold-blooded animal; he also liked to come into contact with some cold-blooded animals, snakes, lizards, etc.; in their tribe, he was the only one who could get close to the "mountain god"...
Cold giant python?
Professor Li conceived a strange story based on the strange man's messy murmur: at the end of that strange valley, an old tree of unknown age - or an unknown creature grew; it just grew like a tree.It is covered in smooth body, with many long branches, nearly a hundred meters high, full of blue-white, and the bark is covered with mucus...
The most strange thing is that this tree is alive - it should be said to be able to move; all the branches are thin and long, just like the wrists of the giant squid in the sea, waving around, and when they encounter living things, they will immediately catch them and send them to the bottomless black hole in the middle of the giant trunk...
But it seems that it only has a feeling for warm-blooded animals, and has always been very friendly to cold-blooded animals - so, the towering giant tree has become a paradise for snakes and reptiles.
The strange giant tree!
There is a day every year when this sacred tree is powerful, and its huge body trembles and makes an inexplicable sound, attracting animals dozens of miles around to come to die in dizzyness. The snake reptile , which entrenched next to the sacred tree, will also take advantage of this to enjoy the food.
Over time, an annual snake reptile gathering formed around this towering sacred tree - until that year, the cold-blooded monster put down the tribe's sacrificed prey from a distance, turned around and walked back. When he returned to the ridge, a shocking sound suddenly came from behind him, followed by another riot...
The monster was so scared that he hurriedly climbed up the big tree next to him and watched carefully: a giant python with mottled patterns was wrapped around the countless "wrist feet" of the sacred tree, and quickly pulled towards the dark tree hole! This is something that has never happened before. The monsters often saw giant pythons around the sacred tree before, but everyone is at peace. What's wrong? Could it be that the sacred tree is angry? ...
Flowered Giant Python
The following situation scared the weirdo almost fell from the tree!
The giant python was ruthless in despair, and bit the trunk of the sacred tree desperately. Suddenly, the dark juice on the trunk splashed everywhere, and the overall sacred tree trembled violently... Just under the attention of the strange man, the next second, the towering tree hundreds of meters high suddenly shrank into the crypt with a loud bang - like a huge tentacle that quickly retreated after being injured. In an instant, a branch of the sacred tree could no longer be seen in the valley!
The giant python was of course dragged into the crypt in an instant. Immediately afterwards, the earth roared, and a dull monster roar seemed to sound in the depths, and then it vibrated violently... The rumbling sound seemed to be getting farther and farther underground, and the valley finally returned to its tranquility...
The monster fell from the tree in fear and rolled and crawled back to his residence. Since then, he always said, "The mountain god is angry, the sacred tree is taken back, and the disaster is about to come..." His mind gradually blurred.
Silent ice field
Story After hearing this, many colleagues still don’t understand it.
Professor Li was silent for a while, took out the data collected during this trip and placed it in front of everyone, reminding everyone of the specific direction of the magnetic vibration, and then drawing the specific direction of the sacred tree, so that everyone could compare it by themselves...
The exploration operation ended in the end. It is said that there were several short explorations in the future, and the supervisor who led the team was replaced by others. Because of my physical condition, I could not resist altitude sickness, so I never participated in those scientific research activities again...
The story was completed here. My classmate's father smoked hard, and the three of us fell into silence.
Misty Story
When I sorted out my thoughts, I was about to ask him a question again, he actually stretched and waved his hand hard, "Okay, okay, you two guys, let's continue to do it... I can't stand your old bones, I have to lie down for a while..." After that, he staggered into the bedroom.
Looking back at his classmates, he hurriedly spread his hands, "Don't look at me, it's the first time I heard an old man say this... I really didn't expect that the old man still had some information in his stomach..."
dazed in the face of the sunset
Since I visited my classmate's father that day, I have become a person who is indulging in fantasy, often dazed in the mountains, rivers and earth alone...
