Although the red light seemed a little blurry due to the distance, there was no doubt that everything Kevin Martin had just said was true.

If the treasure represented by this red light was not left by the ancient Libyans, then it could only be the treasure of Mutasim hidden by Somiha Salim.

It is impossible for the Sky Eye to be wrong!

This red light, which was both expected and unexpected, lifted Yang Jing's spirits. However, he did not show any expression. If there were only four people like Chris around, Yang Jing might have driven directly in that direction, but now there were Carl Morris and others around. The eight mercenaries had been in contact with him for too short a time, and Kevin Martin almost lost his life for the treasure. Yang Jing did not dare to explore the treasure in front of them.

But Yang Jing still pretended to be curious and asked, "Can there be mountains in the desert?"

Kevin Martin didn't realize the meaning behind Yang Jing's question, and nodded and said, "Yes, there are mountains in many deserts. For example, there are many mountains in the Sahara Desert, and some of them are quite high. The Hamra Mountains are just a very low mountain range, similar to hills, and the highest mountain is only about 500 meters. But the scenery there is quite nice. In the early years of the Paris-Dakar Rally, this was one of the stages. But nine years ago, the event was moved to South America, which was too boring."

"The Paris-Dakar Rally has also been held here?" Yang Jing was surprised.

"Well, it is true that there were a few years when the Dakar Rally held two sections of the track in Libya, but that was a long time ago."

"Since even the Paris-Dakar Rally Organizing Committee has chosen this place as one of the stages, we have to go and take a look. Come on, let's go down. The sun is so hot that it can melt people."

A few people went down the hill and drove back to the road. On the side of the road, they could see the water pipeline called "Ghadamis River".

Of Libya's 1.76 million square kilometers of land, more than 95% is desert and semi-desert dry plains, and Sab'a in the center is one of the driest areas in the world. The average annual rainfall in the northern coastal area of ​​Libya is also less than 100 mm. There is only a narrow green belt suitable for agricultural production, which gathers most of Libya's towns and population and is also Libya's main agricultural production area.

However, Libya has extremely rich oil resources, with reserves exceeding 30 billion barrels, and natural gas reserves of 100 million cubic meters. Libya, which suffers from water shortage, once exchanged oil for water - building desalination plants. In Surt, Gaddafi's hometown, there is a world-class super-large desalination plant.

It has to be said that Gaddafi is a controversial person. Although he is very greedy for money, it is undeniable that during the more than 40 years when he was in power, the Libyans lived a very happy life. Moreover, this guy dared to invest huge sums of money in people's livelihood.

In the 1980s, while exploring for oil in southern Libya, it was discovered that there was abundant groundwater under the Sahara Desert. So Gaddafi decided to invest $30 billion to build the "Big Man-Made River" project.

The project is being implemented in phases to divert groundwater from the south to the northern coastal areas. This "artificial river" is actually a water pipeline buried underground, with a main line of more than 2,000 kilometers. The reinforced concrete composite pipe used is 4 meters in diameter, and a heavy truck can easily drive in it.

The water pipeline exposed on the surface in front of him was dug out from under the sand because of repairs some time ago. It has not been backfilled yet, which opened Yang Jing's eyes.

Then we drove along the road, passed the Ghadames Airport and drove for a few more minutes before arriving at the area where the Durban Eye Lake is located.

The Durban Eye Lake is about ten kilometers away from the highway. There is no road, only gravel and stones.

There is no one around. In fact, people living in the desert are all staying indoors at this time. No one wants to go out at this time. Here, lunch is usually eaten at 3 or 4 in the afternoon, and people will go out at 5 or 6...

Because the road from the highway to the Durban Eye Lake was full of stones and gravel, the car drove very slowly and it took more than half an hour to travel the ten kilometers.

When you get here, the color of the ground changes significantly. It is no longer the same yellow color, but has become much darker. This change in the color of the ground proves that there are extremely rich groundwater resources here.

In fact, the circle of green trees around the lake also proves that there is abundant groundwater here. The lush coconut trees completely surround the Durban Eye Lake. Such a charming green color suddenly appears in the desert full of yellow sand, which will really make people who see this situation for the first time feel shocked.

When Yang Jing jumped out of the car and saw the two pools of blue water that looked like two eyes, even he couldn't help but marvel at the magic of the Creator. How could this water survive in a desert with such a huge evaporation rate?

Kevin Martin stood beside Yang Jing and said, "Boss, isn't this amazing?"

Yang Jing nodded. "I'm really curious, how can this lake exist here? With such a large amount of evaporation, let alone a lake of such a small area, even if Lake Superior was here, I'm afraid it would evaporate completely in a few years, right?"

The Durban Eye Lake is not big. It consists of two nearly circular lakes, one large and one small. The radius of the large lake is about 30 meters, and the radius of the small lake is about 15 meters. The two lakes face each other from the south and the north across a seven or eight meter wide land.
