Chapter 389: Devil Mountain

Although this red light seemed a little fuzzy because of the distance, there is no doubt that everything Kevin Martin said just now is true.

  If the treasure represented by this red light was not left by the ancient Libyans, then there is only the treasure of Mutahim hidden by the man Somi Hasalim.

   The eyes of the sky cannot be misunderstood

   This red light, which was both expected and unexpected, made Yang Jing's spirit excited. However, he didn't show much expression. If only Chris and the four of them were around, Yang Jing might drive straight in that direction, but now there are Carl Morris and the others. The eight of their mercenaries have been in contact with him for too long. It was short, and Kevin Martin almost died for the treasure. Yang Jing didn't 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 did not realize the meaning behind Yang Jing’s question, and nodded and said, “Yes, there are mountains in many deserts. Like the Sahara Desert, there are many mountains, and some mountains are quite high. This one The Hamra Mountains are just a very short mountain range, similar to hills, and the highest mountain is only 500 meters. But the scenery there is quite good. In the first few years of the Paris Dakar Rally, this is one of them. It’s just that the event was transferred to South America nine years ago, so it’s boring."

   "The Paris Dakar Rally was once held here" Yang Jing was surprised.

   "Well, it was indeed a few years that the Dakar Rally put two of the tracks in Libya, but that was a long time ago."

   "Since even the organizing committee of the Paris Dakar rally has selected this as one of the stages, you have to go over and see what you say at that moment. Let's go, let's go down, this solar energy has baked people."

   A few people got off the hill and drove back to the highway again. On the side of this highway, you can see the water pipeline called "Gudamis River".

   Among the 1.76 million square kilometers of Libya, more than 95% are deserts and semi-desert dry plains. The central part of Sabah is one of the driest areas in the world. The average annual rainfall in the northern coastal zone of Libya is also below 100 mm. There is only a long and narrow green zone suitable for agricultural production. It gathers most of the towns and population of Libya and is also the main agricultural production area of ​​Libya.

   But Libya is extremely rich in oil resources, with reserves of more than 30 billion barrels and natural gas reserves of 1.400 billion cubic meters. Suffering from water shortages, Libya once used oil for water to build a desalination plant. In Sirte, Gaddafi's hometown, there is a world-class super large desalination plant.

   I have to say that Gaddafi is really full of controversy. Although this guy is very greedy for money, it is undeniable that Libyans have lived very happily during his forty years in power. And this guy also dared to invest heavily in people's livelihood.

   In the 1980s, while exploring for oil in southern Libya, it was discovered that there was actually abundant groundwater under the Sahara Desert. So Gaddafi waved his hand and decided to invest 30 billion U.S. dollars to build the "big artificial river" project.

   The project was opened in phases to divert groundwater from the south to the northern coastal area. This "artificial river" is actually a water pipeline buried underground. The main trunk line is more than 2,000 kilometers long. The reinforced concrete composite pipe used is 4 meters in diameter. It is easy to drive a heavy truck inside.

   The water pipeline exposed to the surface in front of him was pulled out from under the sand because of repairs some time ago. Before it had time to refill, Yang Jing opened his eyes completely.

   Then drove forward along the highway. After passing by Gudamis Airport, it drove for more than a few minutes before reaching the area where Durban Eye Lake is located.

  Durban’s Eye Lake is about ten kilometers away from the road. There is no road, and there are only eyes full of gravel and stones.

   There is no one around. In fact, people living in the desert area are all cats in the house at this time, and no one wants to go out at this time. Here, lunch is usually eaten at three or four in the afternoon, and will not go out until five or six in the afternoon.

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

   When we get here, the color of the ground has undergone an extremely significant change, and it is no longer a constant yellow. The color of the ground here has become much darker. This change in surface color just proves that there are extremely rich groundwater resources here.

In fact, the circle of green trees around the lake can also prove that there is plenty of groundwater here. The lush coconut trees completely surround the Durban Eye Lake. Suddenly, such a touch of green appears in the sandy desert. The fascinating color really makes the minds of people who see this situation for the first time full of shock.

   When Yang Jing jumped out of the car and saw the two pools of azure-blue lake water, even he had to sigh the magic of the Creator, how this piece of water survived in the desert with such a huge amount of evaporation

   Kevin Martin stood beside Yang Jing and said, "Boss, isn’t it amazing?"

Yang Jing nodded, "I'm really curious, how can this lake have such a large amount of evaporation here, let alone such a small lake, even if Lake Superior is here, I am afraid it will be able to provide it in a few years. Evaporated clean?"

The Durban Eye Lake is not big, it is composed of a large lake and a small lake that is almost circular. The larger lake has a radius of about 30 meters, and the smaller lake has a radius of almost ten. About five meters, the two lakes face south and north across a land of seven or eight meters wide.

   This kind of lake is not much bigger than the fish ponds in the Chinese countryside, but for many years, these two lakes have never dried up.

Kevin Martin laughed and said, "The water in these two lakes is very deep. No one knows how deep it is. Three divers tried to dive more than 30 meters, but they have not seen the bottom of the lake. Some people even say here. There is a water channel in the underground that leads to the sea, so it will not dry up. Although it is hundreds of kilometers away from the Mediterranean Sea and the terrain is much higher than sea level, it is theoretically impossible to reach the sea, but what is impossible in front of the Almighty Creator What?

   As Kevin Martin said, although the water of this pebbly lake is very clear, it is hard to see at a glance, and no one can guess how deep these two small lakes are.

"Actually, there are several similar lakes near Durban Eye Lake, such as the Eye of Hilleria over there, and several lakes further north, all of which are exposed on the surface, and they are all A freshwater lake that hasn't dried up for many years. Boss, if you look down from the air, you will definitely find that this area with a radius of almost fifteen kilometers is actually a huge lake. Maybe a long time ago, this place was a huge The lake, the dry Tenarut that we saw on the hill just now, eventually flows into this area. It’s a pity that, except for these small lakes, other places in this area are now dry. NS."

   Listening to Kevin Martin’s introduction, Yang Jing really liked this. It's worthy of being called a "miracle" place, it's really awesome here

   Even in the scorching desert, a few people sitting in the shade of a tree, and two clear lakes in front of them, this feeling can make people feel a lot cooler. Chris even used a kettle to fetch a pot of water from the lake, but when he brought it back to taste, the water was slightly salty, but it was absolutely okay to drink it.

   The group rested here for half an hour to see that it was almost four o'clock, Yang Jing and the others got in the car and continued to set off.

   This time I won’t go anywhere else, but Hamra Mountain, which is about thirty kilometers away to the south.

   Since the boss wants to see the peculiar scenery of the Hamra Mountain, they can only go with the boss when they are bodyguards.

  In fact, Hamra Mountain is not far from Durban Eye Lake. This severely weathered mountain range is just south of the road to Daraj.

  Hamla Mountain can no longer be called a mountain range in the strict sense, because this mountain is not originally a very high mountain, but it has been almost weathered in the long winds of the Sahara Desert. In many places, rocky deserts similar to the Gobi Desert have been formed~www.readwn.com~ and the peaks have been weathered into various strange shapes by the strong winds in the desert.

   The highest place in the entire Hamra Mountain is only 500 meters above sea level. The overall color of the mountain is a strange dark red, as if this mountain range contains extremely rich hematite.

   But in fact, this dilapidated mountain has no mineral resources at all. The reason for the strange color is purely due to weathering.

   Except for their group, no one can see here. In fact, if it's not for people who come here specially for tourism, there will not be any locals coming here within a year. Because the shape of the Hamra Mountain under the action of weathering is so strange that this mountain range is called the "Devil Mountain" by the locals.

The sky is a fierce and cool day, with dark red mountains on both sides, and desolate rock deserts under the wheels. It is no exaggeration to say that if a person comes here alone, even in broad daylight, Goose bumps all over his body involuntarily.

   The title "Devil Mountain" is really not a random call.

   The mountains here are all weathered, and there are obvious dry rivers in the valley. Yang Jing and his motorcade are advancing in this dry river.

After walking for more than ten kilometers, Yang Jing chose a hill that was more than three hundred meters high above the ground and stopped. After getting off the car and strolling around, he sighed for the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature, and then directly ordered. Go back home.

  S: The new week has begun, so let's get some recommendations. Well, if nothing happens, we will come to Bolivia from tomorrow onwards. Let’s give me some recommendations for Lao Mo’s encouragement.
