"Let's set up camp right here!"
According to his wife, the rocks at the bottom of Qibu Lake are radioactive!
Anyone who approaches without protection will be affected by radiation, so it is impossible for their exploration team to set up camp near Qibu Lake!
Although that would allow them to mine faster, the impact on the exploration team would be immeasurable, so...
The best option is to set up the base outside the range that is not harmed by Qibu Lake!
This way, they can come back here to rest after completing their daily mining. Otherwise...
You have to wear protective clothing at all times near Qibu Lake, and eating, drinking, defecating and urinating are all problems. Who can endure this for a long time?
"It's good to set up camp here!"
Hearing this, Hu Luqi immediately laughed and said, "The only distance from here to Qibu Lake is the mountain in front. If you walk fast, you can climb over it in half a day!"
It only takes half a day to cross the mountains and reach Qibu Lake. The rest of the time, people can explore and mine there, and then return to the base...
There are many of them coming, so the team will be divided into numerous small teams, and each team will work at Qibu Lake for one or two hours, and so on...
Although most of the time was spent crossing mountains and hills, the safety of the exploration team members was fully guaranteed!
As long as they wear protective clothing, they can be protected from the radiation from Qibu Lake!
As for the stones mined from the bottom of Qibu Lake, they also have special isolation equipment to store them, so there is no need to worry about radiation!
in this way……
The deployment is comprehensive!
This day.
The exploration team set up camp on the other side of the mountain from Qibu Lake.
After a full night's rest, more than a hundred people, led by Gu Nanzhi and Xie Zhenting, under the leadership of Hu Luqi, fully armed and wrapped tightly, continued to advance towards Qibu Lake. The other exploration teams that followed them stayed where they were, waiting for the exploration news from their advance team to be reported back...
"Don't go that way, follow me!"
Hu Luqi's voice came through the protective suit, "You can't take the direct road on this mountain. The direct road over the mountain is shorter, but it is too energy-consuming. There is a narrow path here. It takes some time to walk, but it is not strenuous and safe..."
Winding up the mountain really saves energy!
With Hu Luqi's leadership, Gu Nanzhi and his group climbed the mountain easily.
Although they encountered some wild beasts along the way, with guns and weapons in hand, Gu Nanzhi and his team easily resolved the battle!
More than two hours later, the group stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountain from afar...
A lake several miles in radius is embedded at the foot of the mountain, visible from afar, but...
What shocked Gu Nanzhi was not the appearance of Qibu Lake, but...
The location of Qibu Lake!
Qibu Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides!
The mountain range they were standing on was the one surrounding Qibu Lake, but...
That’s not the point!
The point is…
At the other end of Qibu Lake is the canyon!
"The end of the land, the fault zone!"
Gu Nanzhi looked down at the topography of Qibu Lake through protective goggles, frowning and saying, "It turns out that Qibu Lake is located on the edge of the continental fault zone!"
According to her original estimate, Qibu Lake is located near the continental fault zone!
Gu Nanzhi knew that this place might be not far from the end of the rainforest, but he didn't expect it to be so close!
because……
One side of Qibu Lake is even connected to the canyon fault zone!
Looking down from the mountain, she could clearly see the water curtain flowing down from Qibu Lake and directly into the canyon crack that had no end in sight!
Originally, she had only guessed about the disappearance of Qibu Lake in her previous life, but now...
Her guess was fully confirmed!
It’s no exaggeration to say that this geographical location is extremely dangerous!
Although the continental crust of the rainforest is relatively stable, the edge of the continent's deep fault zone is not very stable. Any force that slightly exceeds its load capacity may cause it to collapse and fall apart!
"Everyone listen up, from now on, no guns or cannons, no high-powered or high-decibel movements!"
Gu Nanzhi spoke almost instantly and issued her first order since setting out.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhenting immediately responded and then passed on Gu Nanzhi's order.
Everyone heard: "???"
They all looked at Gu Nanzhi with confusion.
Under their gazes, Gu Nanzhi took a deep breath and said slowly: "When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. The most dangerous thing about Qibu Lake is not the lake itself, but its geographical location!"
"Here, on the edge of the continental fault zone, is the legendary End of the Earth!"
"Any movement that exceeds the load here may cause the bottom shell here to move..."
At this point, Gu Nanzhi raised his hand, pointed to the canyon opposite Qibu Lake, and said in a deep voice: "Do you see that canyon fault zone? If you don't want to die in it, just follow my orders!"
Everyone heard: "!!!"
After the shock.
I responded immediately.
"yes!"
"yes!"
“…”
For a while, the sound of guns being put away could be heard one after another.
Hu Luqi was puzzled when he saw this, but he was amazed at the execution ability of this group of people.
"The bottom crust is moving. Are you talking about an earthquake?"
Hu Luqi asked puzzledly as he led them further down the mountain.
“Yes and no!”
Gu Nanzhi shook his head and said, "With proper earthquake protection, there is still a glimmer of hope, but the geographical location here is too delicate. If something goes wrong, there will be almost no chance of survival, so..."
“It’s worse than an earthquake!”
In the past life, even the Western countries had only a limited number of stones from Qibu Lake, just a few pieces!
Just those few stones were enough for scientists to get a glimpse of the speed of light. However, due to limited resources, humans truly surpassed the speed of light only after they developed into the interstellar era and found a substitute for the stones from Qibu Lake from other planets...
so……
How did the Western countries carry out violent mining here back then, to the point that from such a large Qibu Lake, they only took out a few stones, and the entire lake became a legend?
When Gu Nanzhi thought of the memories from his previous life, his expression became more solemn than ever before.
Seeing her like this, Xie Zhenting and others became more cautious.
If Gu Nanzhi hadn't said it, they might not have noticed the canyon opposite Qibu Lake at all. After all, things like cliffs, canyons and waterfalls are too common!
When they see it, they will only admire it and marvel at the Creator's uncanny craftsmanship. Who would regard this as a deadly threat?
But……
From the moment they entered the mountains where the Tata tribe was located, Gu Nanzhi's performance made them alert!
The location here seems to be of great concern to the gentleman!
Now it is even worse. Not only artillery is banned, but even guns are banned. Even talking loudly is not allowed. This cautious posture makes them subconsciously tense, as if facing a great enemy...
