Shi Man had made various preparations before going out this time. She stuffed a lot of pet cages and other things into the space, including the kind that even a house-wrecking Husky could use, and an iron cage cat villa that was over one meter high.
There is no problem in using it to house this nest of rabbits.
Yang Benxin sent the nest of hares back to the train first, while Shi Man and the others went to Qi Hao's side. They were also curious about where their younger brother had gotten the live fish in such a snowy place.
The two sides were not far apart, and when Shi Man and the others arrived, Song Yan and the others had already almost figured out the situation.
"This should have been a lake, and Meconopsis was growing in the meadows by the lake. Because it's frozen, it's hard to tell the difference between the land and the lake."
Chu Han explained, pointing to a pit not far away: "My brother took the fish out of that ice pit."
"It's strange. The temperature was minus seventy degrees Celsius before, so the ice on the lake should be at least one meter thick. But just now we saw that the ice at the edge was only thirty centimeters thick."
"Thank goodness my brother found that ice pit. The temperature is rising rapidly, and cracks will appear on the ice. If we were to walk on the ice without knowing the situation, we might accidentally step into the cracks and fall into the lake."
Shi Man stared at the ice pit and said thoughtfully, "Have you ever tried the depth of the water near the ice pit?"
"About two meters."
"The freezing of the lake is indeed very abnormal." Shi Man thought subconsciously, "Could it be that there is something at the bottom of the lake that can generate heat, so the lake surface is only frozen to this extent?"
Chu Han shook his head and said, "The Rehai Lake in Province Y, Huangshi Lake in Chou Country, and Mi Lake in Island B, because geothermal and volcanic geothermal heat heat the bottom water, some areas do not freeze in winter."
"But there weren't volcanoes on Yungai Steppe in the past, so that shouldn't be the reason."
"There are two other possibilities," Ellie's voice came from the communication bracelet. "If the lake water is highly saline or turbid, a density barrier will form at the bottom, causing heat to accumulate at the bottom, similar to the Dead Sea. In summer, the bottom temperature is higher than the surface.
"In addition, there is also the metabolic heat produced by high-density microbial communities, but generally speaking, this temperature increase is extremely low. But now that all organisms have become alienated, anything is possible."
Shi Man looked at the ice surface that was indistinguishable from the ground and the lake, frowning, "I'm more inclined to the last possibility. Stay away from the lake. Milk! Brother! Come back!!"
Shi Man's last words could be described as a roar. Just when he wasn't paying attention, Niu Niu and his brother ran to the ice pit to dig around.
As soon as she finished speaking, water mixed with ice chips splashed up and crystallized into ice after landing.
At the same time, a large fish with a body length of more than two meters was also thrown ashore by Milk.
"Good fellow! He is worthy of being the Milk King!" Qi Hao and Meng Xiaodao hurried over to hold the fish.
The fish opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp teeth, and looked extremely ferocious.
Shi Man directly put the big fish into the space. She also wanted to build a fish pond in the Pure Land, but this fish was too big, so she decided to put it in their stomachs and take it back.
"Alright, let's hurry up and dig up some more exotic plants, then we'll head back to the car. We caught some fish today, and I also caught a bunch of rabbits, so we can braise the rabbit and fish today."
As soon as they heard that there was meat to eat, everyone became very motivated.
After digging for another twenty minutes, everyone returned to the Pure Land.
The dogfish that Niu Nai had brought back before was one meter long. It was enough for everyone to eat after being roasted into fish fillets.
