The strongest miner in the universe

Chapter 63 One hundred secrets and one sparse (1 recommendations, thank you brothers for your support)

Song Yue's first stop was Mount Simen, and several people discussed going there to hunt foxes. They heard that the red foxes there are very famous.

Regarding this point, Gao Jiuding was noncommittal, but he also knew the red foxes in Semen Mountain, but the red foxes there seemed to be extinct!
To the south of Mount Simen is a canyon about [-] meters deep, in which the cliffs hang from the sky and the walls stand thousands of feet high, which can be called a great spectacle.

There are many exotic animals and birds in the mountains, including the red fox unique to Ethiopia.

This world is like this, no matter what it is, as long as it becomes famous, it will soon become rare.

Don't look at the harsh environment of the East African plateau, but there are a large number of people living here. If there are too many people, the natural resources will be easily consumed.

The terrain of the East African Plateau is peculiar. Depending on the altitude, there will be various situations. For example, the mountains below [-] meters are fertile pastures and farmland, and the forests are lush between [-] and [-] meters, mostly African alpine plants. Above [-] meters, there are only lichens. and liverworts.

For example, the Laowo Xuanyang Peak newly found by Gao Jiuding is about 4000 meters above sea level. It is a relatively special place, surrounded by mountains, with green trees at the foot of the mountain and snow-capped mountains. The scenery is very strange.

The altitude is more than 3000 meters, there is no human habitation, more than 4000 meters, even wild animals can rarely reach it, so there are so many hanging sheep there.

Song Yue and the others naturally did not travel in the mountains. They needed to climb over the Simen Mountains, enter the depths of the East African Plateau, and reach the surrounding area of ​​the highest peak in the East African Plateau.

Of course, Gao Jiuding was notified after they crossed Simen Mountain. Regarding this point, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly!

They are all here, so Gao Jiuding still object?However, what they thought was too good, and they reached the highest peak?

Although Gao Jiuding didn't say anything, he was very contemptuous in his heart!
There are many volcanic peaks with an altitude of more than 4000 meters on this plateau. They are all considered to be the highest in Africa, and their area exceeds 80 square kilometers.

In such a large area, if there is no precise purpose, it will be very hard to get up.

There were 13 of them, except Gao Jiuding, all of them carried a large backpack over 1.2 meters long, and walked continuously for six hours. The hardships involved can be imagined.

Song Yue and the others were in good physical strength. They spent several hours walking through the Simens Mountains National Park. They were still in good spirits. However, after continuing to walk for several hours, the singing and laughing at the beginning had completely disappeared.

Gao Jiuding walked in the front with ease, while the others followed Gao Jiuding silently with their backpacks on their backs. Even He Wei lost the air of arrogance.

"The pictures of this group of people are not small!" Gao Jiuding muttered, walking ahead and leading the way.

The group kept speeding up, and when the sun was about to set, Gao Jiuding stopped.

"Continue on the road? Or camp?" Came to a flat place, Gao Jiuding asked.

Gao Jiuding had been paying attention to the aura of these people all the time. After walking for a long time, each one's aura became chaotic and began to sweat. Gao Jiuding knew that they had reached their limit now!

"If you're not too tired, you'd better take a break and continue on your way!" Said, Chen Zhou handed Gao Jiuding a headlamp.

Gao Jiuding smiled indifferently, took over the headlight, turned on the light, and watched everyone sitting on their backpacks and began to rest.

They're not bad, just sit for 10 minutes and the breath starts to level off.

Having regained some of their strength, these people became active again!
"You take this, you should enter Conglin next!" Chen Zhou handed Gao Jiuding a machete.

Gao Jiuding did not refuse, and took the machete directly. The machete was more than 50 centimeters long and six to seven centimeters wide. It was a straight knife without a point. The blade was a few centimeters longer than the back of the knife.

"It's used to open the way, don't worry, we are well prepared!" Yan Fengyun said at this time.

Gao Jiuding nodded. However, the area of ​​the tropical rainforest here is very small, only in some very special places, so there is really no need to use a machete to open the way.

However, Gao Jiuding did not explain, but hurried on his way again.

It's too far away from Xuanyang Peak, and there are already people walking there, so they still have a long way to go.

After climbing up to a mountain with an altitude of more than 3000 meters, the vegetation here has begun to thin out, and there are only a few shrubs at most. When I turn down the mountain, I entered a dense forest. The main plants here are fake banana trees!

"Is this a banana tree?" Song Yue walked beside Gao Jiuding and asked, pointing to a tree.

"Fake, no bananas!" Gao Jiuding said.

While speaking, Chen Zhou had already walked in front of Gao Jiuding. Seeing the dead branches and leaves in front of him, Chen Zhou stretched out his feet, trying to kick some large leaves away.

"Be careful!" Seeing Chen Zhou's actions, Gao Jiuding reminded immediately.

"En?" Chen Zhou's control ability is very strong, and the kick stopped in mid-air.

Gao Jiuding smiled and said: "This is a tree pit, be careful to sink it!"

"Tree pit? Isn't it a trap?" Picking up a leaf, Chen Zhou saw the tree pit below, which was deliberately covered up by someone.

"It's not a trap, it's fermenting food!" Gao Jiuding pointed to a fake banana tree next to him.

"Using trees for food?" Chen Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked.

Gao Jiuding explained: "This is a staple food in the local area. It is mainly used to make Muke and Braffell. They are all fermented from the roots of fake banana trees. However, this food is a bit sour and smelly. Like flour, so dry that it tastes like a big spoonful of cornmeal stuffed in your mouth.

The paste made with butter is Muke. Of course, it is Kouqiao when it is baked. This thing is like bread, and it is also like black bread. accepted! "

"It's similar to the stinky tofu in our country?" Song Yue asked.

"Yes, they are all eaten after natural fermentation. It takes at least three months, so after cutting off this Ethiopian banana, the tree pit is used to ferment the starch in the roots!" Bypassing the tree pit, they continued to move forward, walking , Gao Jiuding introduced this local food.

The physique of the group is very good, so the speed is very fast, and the plateau vegetation in Ethiopia is characterized by sparseness, and there are not many dense forests, so they move faster.

For example, they now walk on the plains below 500 meters above sea level. This kind of mountain lowland is called Bereja belt (meaning "desert belt") by the locals. The annual average temperature is above 30°C and it is extremely hot all year round. It is a tropical desert. Landscape, this kind of place naturally doesn't have many trees.

And then go up, the altitude reaches 500-1800 meters is the Kola belt (meaning "hot tropics"), the annual average temperature is 22-26 ℃, the climate is hot, the precipitation is less, it is a tropical savannah landscape, and it is also a good walk Yes, after all, the line of sight is wide and unobstructed.

At an altitude of 1800-2400 meters, here is the Wojnadja belt (meaning "the place where grapes are grown"), which is subtropical, with an average annual temperature of 18-20°C, suitable for the growth of a variety of crops, with spring-like seasons and abundant rainfall.

The vegetation here is relatively dense, but this kind of place was reclaimed by local tribes, so there are large plantations, and Ethiopia relies on this kind of place to grow cash crops, so it is not difficult to go.

It's just that this is a mountainous area, and it is difficult to open to traffic. Anyone who wants to enter here can only walk.

Continue to go up from here, as the altitude increases, the plants become sparser. At an altitude of 2400-3500 meters, it is the Degas zone (meaning "cool zone"), because the annual average temperature is about 15℃, and the precipitation is very abundant, suitable for low temperature Crops and pastures grow, and the conditions for grazing cattle and sheep are good, so there are flocks of cattle and sheep here.

And when you continue to go up, you reach the high mountains above 3500 meters above sea level, and there are very few traces of human life. This is the Vichy belt, where the annual average temperature is below 10°C, and hail and frost are common.

Walking in the wilderness in the dark, you will encounter a group of hyenas from time to time. Of course, their group is superior in force, and the group of hyenas gave up tracking them with just a little threat.

As the altitude got higher and higher, a dense forest appeared in front of Gao Jiuding and the others.

"I can't go!" Gao Jiuding stopped in his tracks!
The altitude here is close to 3000 meters, and if you continue to go up, you will enter the inaccessible plateau area, and it is still very dangerous to drill into the woods at night.

"Then camp here!" Chen Zhou looked at the surrounding terrain and chose a leeward place to stop.

There was no sign of human activity here, so there were more wild animals. After they stayed for a while, Gao Jiuding saw a group of hyenas, a group of jackal dogs, and a few jackals.

Where there are these things, there must be cheetahs, so it is best not to enter the jungle, or you may become the prey of cheetahs.

Gao Jiuding held a machete and wanted to cut down a few dead trees. When he got close to the forest, Gao Jiuding realized that it was actually a bamboo forest.

After cutting down a few dead bamboos, they dragged them back to the camp. Chen Zhou and the others had already set up two tents and were currently setting up a tripod.

Looking at the tent, is this going to sleep separately for men and women?Thinking of seven big men sleeping in a tent, Gao Jiuding felt a little bit pained.

However, at this time, he also started to look at these wealthy children with admiration. The family has money and can endure hardships. This is not giving the common people a chance to survive!

Shaking his head, Gao Jiuding walked over, put down the dry bamboo, chopped it up with a machete, and planned to start a fire.

It wasn't until Gao Jiuding finished dealing with the dry bamboo that he realized that these wealthy children were not as smart as he imagined.

"Stewed beef? Where's the pressure cooker?" Gao Jiuding looked at an iron plate, which was pulled by Lu Qingshan and turned into a tall pot. However, can this thing cook beef at high altitude?

"Pressure cooker? Beef stew still needs a pressure cooker?" Wu Chuanzong said as a matter of course.

"Don't you need it?" Gao Jiuding was speechless. This guy's junior high school physics was taught by his physical education teacher, right?
"It's broken, I forgot that this is a plateau area!" Lu Qingshan reacted quickly, and immediately thought of the problem of low air pressure.
