"This is the current satellite image of Mount Everest."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the satellite image on the projection screen.
The image was taken of the summit of Mount Everest. From the image, we can see that Mount Everest is extremely magnificent when viewed from above. There are white snow dust and double smoke in several places. Even from top to bottom, one can still feel the sacredness and majesty of Mount Everest.
At the top of Mount Everest, everyone discovered that there was no snow covering the mountain, but a flat layer of ice!
"There was also an avalanche on Mount Everest, and the situation was so severe that even a layer of ice was shaken off the top."
Yu Lan's expression became a little strange. "Besides, the avalanche on Mount Everest was the most serious. Logically speaking, this earthquake should not have affected the top of Mount Everest. We speculate that the sliding of the ice layer on the top of Mount Everest has no direct connection with the earthquake. They just happened at the same time. The only connection between the two is most likely the sky cave that appeared on the day of the Western Territory earthquake!"
Dr. Xiaoliang nodded silently.
"Of course, I didn't call you here just to tell you this."
Yu Lan changed the subject and continued to zoom in on the image, finally stopping when the ice layer could be clearly seen: "Pay attention."
Everyone looked closely.
When they saw what was under the ice, everyone was shocked.
That was the skeleton of a giant beast!
Judging from its shape, it should be a bird that was buried under the ice at the top of Mount Everest. I don’t know how many years ago it was, but it must have been very long ago.
But...even at this height, the presence of bird skeletons is still unbelievable.
"I believe you have already seen that this is the remains of an ancient bird."
Yu Lan glanced at the crowd and slowly spoke, "Based on our preliminary estimation, this bird was approximately 25 meters long when it was alive! Its wingspan could have been as much as 40 meters!"
Twenty-five meters in length? Forty-meter wingspan?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Is this bigger than a fighter jet?
It is hard to imagine what the scene would be like when this giant bird hovers in the air.
Is this the legendary Kunpeng?
"Our Institute of Basic Biological Sciences will definitely collect this kind of fossil, but everyone knows how difficult climbing Mount Everest is. The purpose of bringing everyone together is to climb Mount Everest first to explore the way, collect samples, and pave the way for subsequent teams. After all, the environment on Mount Everest is unpredictable right now."
At this point, Yu Lan's tone became serious: "This operation is not very important. Compared with your lives, it is nothing. So please prioritize your own safety. I will prepare climbing equipment for everyone. Now please rest well and be ready to set off at any time."
"yes!"
After the meeting, Shen Cheng and his group walked out of the tent. Gu Xiangyu said hello to Shen Cheng and left with the Wolf Team.
Chen Cheng turned his head to look at the peak in the distance that was rising into the sky and shrouded in clouds, feeling a little confused.
When this task was entirely handled by the special investigators instead of being handed over to the mountaineering expedition team, Shen Cheng knew that this matter might have been classified as confidential.
"Liusu, can you climb mountains?" Chen Cheng suddenly asked.
Mountaineering, especially climbing Mount Everest, is not something that can be done casually, but requires sufficient training.
Although with the help of modern technology, climbing Mount Everest is no longer so far-fetched, but Shen Cheng has not undergone any professional training. To be honest, asking him to participate in this operation is somewhat redundant and may even become a burden.
"This is one of the compulsory training items for special agents." Liu Su smiled slightly: "Don't worry too much, just follow me when we climb the mountain."
That's why I feel like I'm not suitable...
Chen Cheng sighed and could only encourage himself not to cause trouble for Liusu. He didn't know what the Institute of Biological Sciences was thinking.
Looking into the distance, Shen Cheng suddenly realized that people were crowded together, bustling about, as if they were announcing something.
Squeezing into the crowd, Shen Cheng wanted to join in the fun. When people saw Shen Cheng and Liusu, they all greeted them.
There was no need for Chen Cheng and Liu Su to even squeeze, as the crowd pushed them to the front.
In front of me was a temporary rostrum. The mayor stood on the rostrum, facing the microphone with a manuscript in his hand. Security guards, firefighters, and military troops were neatly lined up on both sides with solemn expressions.
Clearing his throat, the mayor spoke into the microphone: "Hello everyone..."
As soon as these three words came out, Shen Cheng discovered that the mayor was speechless for a moment, as if he was trying hard to suppress some emotions. It didn't seem like excitement, but more like... sadness.
The mayor also realized his own loss of composure, and after regrouping, he began to speak: "Hello everyone, I am the mayor of this city. I want to tell you that after a full 42 hours of fierce fighting, we have successfully survived this extremely terrible disaster. We have also proved to the world that we Chinese are invincible. Even in the face of natural disasters, we still have the capital to fight against them!
However, the biggest reason why we were able to survive this disaster was the support and assistance of our fellow countrymen. During the disaster relief process, many people were buried under the cold ruins. Regardless of their respective positions, they were just adhering to their mission and dedicating themselves to the people. I hope that we can all always remember and be grateful to them, and cherish their remembrance forever.
Next, here is the list of those who died in this disaster relief operation..."
When they heard the first words, everyone looked happy, but when they heard the latter part, the smiles on their faces gradually disappeared.
"Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, Yan Hao!
Captain of Fire Brigade 17, Qian Fang!
Fire Department...
Public Security Bureau...
Security officer of the Public Security Bureau, Ru Ziniu!
..."
The once vivid names uttered by the mayor made the expressions of the citizens gradually become gloomy, and even a few faint cries were heard from the silent crowd.
"above!"
"salute!"
When the mayor finished his speech, the leaders of several columns shouted at the same time, and then all the people, including the citizens in the audience, saluted in unison.
Shen Cheng and Liu Su were among them.
After the salute and moment of silence, the crowd dispersed and continued to move forward carrying the will of the fallen martyrs.
"Are you a Shen Diao officer?"
After the crowd dispersed, a security guard approached Shen Cheng. Shen Cheng saw that it was a very young security guard with a firm look in his delicate features. He nodded and said, "It's me. Hello."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Ziye. I saw you on the Internet." Qin Ziye extended his hand towards Shen Cheng.
Shen Cheng stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qin Ziye.
