One hundred and three thirty degrees north latitude
"Last time, you were mysterious, saying that Ji Lu was going to take the name of 30 degrees north latitude, what kind of name is it, now that the people have gathered, you can talk about it, right? Oh, I'll bring Lu Rui to participate, do you have no opinion?" Sha Ling consciously walked to the wine cabinet and turned out his favorite champagne.
"Very good, Brother Lu is also a good hand. The one who interjected was Li Du, the sixth elder of the Li family, whose appearance was very deceptive, making people associate with ignorant high school students, but in fact he was twenty-six years old and had the steadiness and resourcefulness that he possessed beyond this age level. "The second brother's plan is stinky and long, I can probably only participate in this one related to Poyang Lake, and the others may not have time. ”
"What do you mean by stinky and long, you obviously only know about this section of Poyang Lake. Li Zhijin slapped Li Du on the back of the head. "When we're done eating, we'll go upstairs to the conference room. ”
Dinner is French, rich and delicate, bright color, plump taste of smoked salmon Smokedsalmon, with mango and asparagus to make a fresh salad appetizer, with a little port wine, figs pan-fried foie gras FoieGras, tender and delicate melt in the mouth, cream mushroom snail crisp box, Burgundy-style snails, mushroom cheese tart, French cheese peach salad, creamy asparagus soup, fried beef tenderloin cream young division, Chocolate iced mint sada, a variety of beautiful and exquisite desserts: macaroon, coffee mille-feuille, black and white forest ......
It can be said that this is a top-level luxury and delicious meal, Li Du changed his smile, sat straight, and his eating posture was perfect, obviously extremely devoted, and Li Zhijin's etiquette from sitting to eating was also exemplary, making the knife and fork handy, completely like an elegant nobleman, so that Sha Ling, who was used to seeing Li Zi's casual posture, couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
In the full field, even if he and Lu Rui were more clumsy.
The food is finely selected and the cooking is exquisite, but Sha Ling has very few hands, basically just a light taste, which means to eat a little, since he has eaten Jiang Qianhai's roast venison and the delicacies at home, it is tasteless to eat other things.
His performance fell in Li Du's eyes, and Li Du couldn't help but frequently ask if it was the chef's poor craftsmanship or something.
Sha Ling shook his head with a slight smile, and reasoned that he was tired from the journey and didn't have much appetite.
Li Zhijin pouted secretly, the last time he gave Shazi noodles to eat, he didn't see him so picky eater, it is estimated that Shazi still doesn't like this set of cumbersome things.
However, fine wine is still very popular with Sha Ling, who has a thousand cups of non-drunk drinking after practicing, and still has the idea that he should grow grapes at home and brew his own Reiki champagne. The wine made from grapes with aura, just thinking about it, made Sha Ling's heart move.
After the sumptuous dinner, the four of them went to the conference room on the second floor.
At a rectangular desk in the center of the conference room, which can seat more than ten people, Li Zhijin strode to the front and opened the curtain, revealing a large hanging map of the world.
Li Zhijin picked up a water pen and drew a thick horizontal line, drawing from west to east, and said: "This line is the 30th parallel north latitude, you can take a look, what is there around here?"
This map of the world realm was large and detailed, and the crowd around it quickly saw some famous names.
Li Zhijin continued: "There is Mount Everest, the highest peak on the earth, the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the seabed, the Nile River in Egypt, the Euphrates River in Iraq, the Yangtze River in China, and the Mississippi River in the United States. As he spoke, Li Zhijin drew a circle of a few dots.
"Here, there are ancient Egyptian pyramids, the Sphinx, the murals of the "Fire of Fire" in the Sahara Desert of North Africa, the Dead Sea, the "Hanging Gardens" of Babylon, the Bermuda Triangle, the ruins of the ancient Mayan civilization, ......"
"And, the legendary sunken Atlantis. ”
Li Zhijin stopped, satisfied to see the three of them thoughtful.
"What does this mean? Does this mean that the Earth's tectonic plates are active near this latitude?" Lu Rui asked tentatively.
Li Zhijin smiled and shook his head: "I don't think it's that simple, I think there should be a wonderful connection behind these mysteries." This is the reason for my plan. ”
Sneering, Li Du rolled his eyes and said, "In short, the blood of our second brother's expedition is always hot, and it is really boring, so I want to solve the secret of the earth." ”
Li Zhijin ignored him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "How is it, Shazi, are you interested?"
A smile rose, and Sha Ling's eyes lit up amazingly: "Yes, I'm very interested." "Nature's secrets, how could he not be interested.
"So, what's the relationship with Poyang Lake, which is located near this latitude? Could it be that there are strange things in Poyang Lake?" Lu Rui raised his hand and asked.
"That's right. On April 16, 1945, the Japanese transport ship "Kobe Maru" of more than 2,000 tons sailed to the waters of Lao Ye Temple in the northwest of Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province and suddenly disappeared silently, and none of the more than 200 people on board escaped. Subsequently, the Japanese Navy sent people to infiltrate the lake to reconnoitre, and all the people who went into the water mysteriously disappeared except for Akira Yamashita. After Yamashita Tsuru took off his diving suit, he was mentally frightened, and then he went insane. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the famous American diving expert Edward Pohl and his party came to Poyang Lake, and after months of salvage, nothing was found, except for Edward Pohl, several American divers disappeared here again. ”
In just one moment, it firmly aroused everyone's attention.
"What did Edward say?" Lu Rui asked again.
He said: My partner and I searched for the "Kobe Maru" in the waters, but we found no trace of the shipwreck. When I was looking northwest along the bottom of the lake, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared not far away, and there was a violent vibration at the bottom of the calm lake, and a loud roaring sound like thunder in my ears rumbled, and the powerful attraction sucked us tightly, I was dizzy, the white light rolled and rolled at the bottom of the lake, and my three diving partners drifted away with the attraction of the white light, and I struggled out of the water......
"Sounds like science fiction. Li Du took a sip of wine, wrinkled his brows and thought, who is Li Zhijin, he knows very well that the second brother will never talk nonsense, and this information must be a historical fact. "Could it be that the water pressure is causing him to hallucinate?
Li Zhijin spread his hands: "This is exactly the answer I want to find." ”
"Okay, the first stop of the 30th parallel is Poyang Lake. Sha Ling straightened up, high-fived and smiled with Li Zhijin.
