Chapter 1,016 The Possibility of an Inland Sea

"What is science?"

"What do you mean it's unscientific?"

Xu Ang asked Wang Ling: "Professor, don't you think that anything beyond our cognition is unscientific? How small is our human scientific system? Can it explain all phenomena in nature? If the existing scientific system cannot explain it, it will be classified If it’s not scientific, how will our science develop?”

Other people who are not broad-minded would not be happy if they were rebutted by a young man like this, even if they didn't show their inner feelings on their faces, but Wang Ling was not. The old professor, who was over 60 years old, said in agreement: "That's right. There are many phenomena that cannot be explained by our current knowledge system. When we encounter unusual things, we must have the determination to explore them to the end, and It’s not something to be dismissed out of hand.”

"You guys wait a minute, I'll make a call first."

Wang Ling dialed a number on his cell phone, walked to the side and said a few words before returning.

He explained: "My major is geological exploration, not animal and plant research. In order to avoid making mistakes, I called an old guy to come over. Is that okay?"

"Of course there is no problem." Xu Ang said immediately, "Professional matters should be left to professionals. Professor, where is your friend? Do you need us to pick him up?"

"No, he happens to be in Shu. He can arrive tomorrow at most. We can just keep the beast in the cage for him and try not to let it die as much as possible."

Who is more valuable, a dead monster or a living monster?

Of course it's the latter.

Xu Ang said: "Don't worry, there must be more than one such beast in the water, otherwise how would they reproduce? But having said that, there are such huge carnivores in the underground waters of this stone mountain. Our previous exploration plan must Make changes. You are a professional about this, so I have to trouble you to plan out the equipment and instruments to be added.”

"This is natural."

Wang Ling first accepted the errand, and then asked: "It will cost money to buy new equipment and instruments. What is our budget? Tell me the number so I can calculate it."

Xu Ang responded to his words: "The newly added budget will go to my account. Professor, you just have to follow the highest standards. One million is too little, it must not be too much. I will pay for hundreds of millions."

The first sentence was to Li Yanhong, and the second sentence was to Wang Ling. If you have money, you can spend it as you like. You don’t have to save it for me.

Wang Ling waved his hands repeatedly: "Hundreds of millions? How can we use so much? It's just for exploration, no follow-up development. You young people are lavish when you have money. You can't spend it casually. In this way, I will consider it carefully. , try to keep the cost within one million.”

Xu Ang didn't bother with this aspect. He just said to Wang Ling: "Professor, it's up to you. As long as the effect is good, it doesn't matter how much it costs. To me, the difference between a few million and tens of millions is not big."

What does it mean to be wealthy? This is it.

Wang Ling's students looked at Xu Ang with envy. It seemed like he had become such a big dog because he mistook money for money.

Li Yanhong, who was standing aside, felt strange. Xu Ang was not the kind of brainless upstart, and it was not his style to throw away money casually.

Does he value the underground water under the stone mountain so much?

Could it be that he has a follow-up plan, and the amount of water below is related to the success or failure of his plan?

In this regard, Li Yanhong could only think this way, otherwise he would not be able to explain Xu Ang's behavior.

Or maybe Lao Li is smart. He guessed correctly. This is indeed related to Xu Ang's subsequent plan.

"Shallow water cannot support dragons. The fact that there are such large carnivores living in the water below shows that its area cannot be so small. You have collected the water quality before, and it is undoubtedly fresh water. Now humans have explored it Among the freshwater lakes, the largest is Lake Superior, which is shared by Laomi and Maple Leaf Country. In addition to its powerful technology, the biggest reason why Laomi's agriculture is so developed is that the Great Lakes region provides enough fresh water. Lake Superior accounts for half of the water.”

"But could Lake Superior support such a large creature?"

"Of course, Superior is only the largest in area. In terms of freshwater storage capacity, Lake Superior, the largest area, is not as good as Belga in Eastern Siberia. Belga's 23.6 trillion cubic meters of freshwater reserves make it the undisputed largest freshwater lake. First. It’s a pity, Belga used to be our Beihai.”

Xu Ang sighed, and then changed the subject.

"In the past, water resources were scarce in the northwest of the country, and we were envious of Belga's water storage capacity. But if my guess is correct, the discovery under the rocky mountain at our feet is likely to completely change this situation."

Li Yanhong took a breath of cold air: "Junior, do you mean that the groundwater down here is not just an underground river with a large amount of water, but it may also be an inland sea comparable to the Caspian Sea?"

Pointing at the monster in the iron cage, Xu Ang asked: "Why is it impossible? I think the chances are high. Senior, where are we now?"

"Qinghai."

Li Yanhong replied.

Then, he reacted.

Qinghai, Qinghai, this is obviously land, why is it called the sea?

It's not because the land under their feet was the sea in ancient times, it's just that the sea has turned into mulberry fields over the years.

"It's not surprising that the earth's own crustal movement and the movement between land plates cause terrain changes. Qinghai used to be a sea. When it changes in terrain, it will leave no traces. Senior, think about the topography of Qinghai, Chai Where was the Damu Basin before? Geologists and archaeologists have made many discoveries there. The sea here could never have been destroyed when the terrain changed.

The rocks drain away all the seawater, so what about the seawater that remains, and what impact will they have on the terrain here? "

Li Yanhong was puzzled: "Junior, this is difficult for me. I don't understand geology."

He doesn't understand, but someone does.

Wang Ling overheard their conversation and interjected: "Xiao Xu's guess is not impossible. The sea will leave a large area of ​​salt fields. These salt fields will melt into the water due to years of water erosion and other reasons. The water flows to other places, and their original positions are vacated. If this area is connected to underground water veins, it can form an inland lake or even an inland sea. There are many freshwater lakes discovered in the world. They are all formed for this reason, but they are all exposed on the ground, and those hidden underground are really discovered.”

"After all, it is such a big piece. It is normal for the surface to collapse when the inside is empty. But the facts are not absolute, and there will always be exceptions. Professor, what do you think?"

"I don't think so. I'm only speaking from facts. Let's see the exploration results."
