Chapter 258 Going down to the bottom of the valley
“Is this Death Valley? It feels like there is not much difference from other valleys.” Walking at the bottom of Death Valley, Purficott looked around, except for the naked The rocks make this place seem a bit deserted, but there is no obvious essential difference from other places.
At this time, Purficott's face was wearing a respirator mask that she rubbed with her own hands. Her entire face was wrapped in a transparent glass mask, and she was breathing filtered air.
She used activated carbon and other materials to rub an air filter. After connecting to the breathing mask, the filter can effectively filter the air entering it, providing clean air for Purficott.
The entire filter has been tested and can be used for about two hours, which is enough for the small area of Death Valley.
After all, Purficott just came down to take a look and didn't intend to stay here for a long time.
Of course, it is easy for her to extend her stay in Death Valley. She only needs to replace the filter element in the filter with a new one, and this does not even require her to do it herself.
Before coming down, Samantha had prepared double supplies of consumables for her respirator mask and air filter, and also had a set of spares, in order to avoid the set used by Purficott. There is a problem with the device.
Although this makes Purficott feel a little overprotective, it can also be seen from this point that Samantha has really put a lot of effort into ensuring Purficott's safety. Kung fu.
“Aside from being a little more desolate and a little more dangerous, this place is just an ordinary valley, nothing special.” Samantha also echoed Purficott’s words. In her eyes, this valley In addition to being remote, there are also dangers.
However, thanks to the fact that a giant dragon originally lived here, the pressure from the superior predators meant that there were no other beasts in the valley.
Of course, it is also possible that other organisms cannot adapt to the environment full of hydrogen sulfide gas in the valley and cannot survive in this highly toxic environment.
After all, creatures in nature still have to follow the most basic principles of biological evolution. The vast majority of creatures will evolve themselves to a state that is consistent with the overall natural environment, and will not evolve independently out of the natural environment. The opposite physiological habits come.
So for most organisms, an environment full of sulfide is fatal.
But nature is also magical. Hydrogen sulfide and other sulfides are toxic and harmful to most living things, but not all living things can survive in this environment.
You must know that in the early stages of life, there was not so much oxygen on the earth. At that time, oxygen was a poisonous gas to life.
So it is not impossible for organisms to adapt to high-concentration sulfide environments, and it is not impossible for those with better luck to evolve into large organisms.
It’s just that in this valley, Purficott and others have been wandering around for almost half an hour and found no trace of other creatures.
On the other hand, the exploration team leader who came down with us showed a very surprised expression. Since reaching the bottom of the valley, he has been surveying and recording everywhere with great enthusiasm, as if he had made some major discovery.
He heard that both Purficott and Samantha thought this valley was nothing special, and couldn't help but retort loudly: "This valley is not ordinary! Although you may think that this place is nothing but desolate. No, but in the eyes of geologists, this valley formed by geological collapse is simply a treasure. There are so many things worth studying here
If I can study this valley clearly in my lifetime, I can even get the title of academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences and a medal from Her Majesty the Queen! "In the Victoria Empire, if a scholar can achieve impressive academic results and pass the review of the Royal Academy of Sciences, he can be invited to become an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
Correspondingly, there is an academic bonus and a special medal established by the royal family. If you are lucky, you may even get a noble title.
So I am very excited about this exploration captain. , Purficott can understand his emotions.
This is actually like going to the geological park in the original world. Ordinary people might think it is just a pile of broken rocks.
But in the eyes of professional geologists, these are just papers and academic achievements.
However, she did not pay special attention to it. She just reminded the exploration captain: "Compared with the geological origin of this valley and other factors, the resources buried underground in this valley are more valuable. Things to study.
The flammable gas resources and the black oil in that lake, if you can study them clearly, your name can even be written in the history books.”
This is not an exaggeration by Purficott, because if you can understand the research on natural gas and oil, you can indeed write your name into the history books, and it will be a required course.
Hearing what Purficott said, the exploration captain nodded in agreement: "I guess that flammable gas may be a substance like methane. This resource has high mining value. If there are really rich gas reserves underground, then the value of this valley will be amazing.”
The exploration team leader did not know much about the black oil in the oil lake. Although the history of human use of oil is actually quite early, most of them were used in quite extensive and primitive ways without too much in-depth research.
But for flammable gases, humans have a much richer history of contact and use in this area, and this also allows the exploration team leader to fully realize that if there are abundant flammable gases underground, they can be mined. What a valuable thing.
"So I need you to find out the specific conditions of this valley, including the underground combustible gas resources and oil storage." Purficott looked at the exploration team leader and told him his Require.
The exploration captain naturally agreed to this. Even if Purficott didn't ask for it, he would still do it.
After all, this is related to his own future and future.
"Let's go to the Oil Lake and the Dragon's Lair. Aren't there rumors in various knight novels that there are a lot of treasures buried in the dragon's lair? Let's go over and see if we can find any treasures!" Perficott suddenly said A rather childlike suggestion.
Faced with this proposal, the others naturally had no objection, so the group walked towards the dragon's lair next to the oil lake. It seemed that they really planned to open the lair made of bones and take a look. Is there any treasure?
