There is no doubt that Lake Maracaibo is a rich place, although the original meaning of the word Maracaibo is not a good word, and there is even some irony in it.

At first, the name Maracaibo was said to be the name of Mara, a brave leader of the local aborigines.

Because of his heroic rebellion against the Spanish colonists, he later fell, and the Spaniards named the city after Maracaibo.

But there is also another theory, that is, the name of this land comes from slang in the local aboriginal language, and it is called a place where snakes abound.

And Venezuela is also named Venezuela because the expedition team discovered the scenery along the coast of Lake Maracaibo and the water dwellings of the indigenous people, which resembles Venice in Italy, so it was named Venezuela, which means Little Venice.

Everything here was built on bloody battles, and the city of Maracaibo was renamed after it was occupied by the Spaniards.

It can be said that many constructions in Venezuela and Colombia have benefited from Spain, and many rough developments on this land have been influenced by Spain.

It was not until the 20th century that rich oil fields were discovered here, and it began to develop rapidly.

Later generations, Lake Maracaibo, as the richest and most concentrated oil-producing area in the world, is known as the lake of oil.

Its oil fields are concentrated on the northeast coast, extending to the bottom of the lake, and most of them are large oil fields with very high production.

However, the development of oil fields in later generations has also made the environmental pollution of Lake Maracaibo more and more serious.

Some of these beautiful landscapes today have disappeared in the future.

The price of exploiting nature is sacrificing all the beauty it once had.

The architecture of Maracaibo is unique. In the territory of the Iron Kingdom, there are many places with such beautiful scenery.

It's a pity that Zeng Yunfeng couldn't appreciate such beauty at all.

He was more worried, and Zeng Yunfeng was even more worried when he saw the houses built on wooden piles above the water in Lake Maracaibo.

The locals call this house on the water Palafito. Long before the arrival of the Spaniards, Indian tribes lived here for generations.

Later, this kind of building became a tourist attraction, but the Indians almost disappeared.

Lake Maracaibo is vast and endless, but the average water depth is only more than 20 meters.

Ordinarily, this lake cannot be called a lake in the geographical sense, because its opening to the north is connected to the Caribbean Sea.

To be precise, it should be called the bay.

It's shaped like a money bag that opens toward the Caribbean.

Moreover, the fishery resources here are also very rich. It is only connected to the Caribbean Sea through a narrow and long waterway, but it is difficult for sea water to enter the lake area, so this place can be called a lake.

Later, in order to develop the oil production industry here, the local people widened and deepened the waterway connecting the open sea, and regularly dredged the silt to facilitate the entry of large-tonnage cargo ships and oil tankers.

Water transportation is convenient, but problems also follow.

Seawater backflows into the center of the lake and deposits in the lower part of the water flow, hindering the natural circulation of the entire lake, causing a large number of algae and microorganisms to die here, and then affecting the entire ecological chain.

The number of fish in the lake has also been greatly reduced, and many fishermen have almost nothing to catch.

At the bottom of this lake, the pipelines laid for the transportation of crude oil are densely packed, like spider webs, but it is very difficult to ensure that the pipelines for oil extraction do not leak.

Crude oil leakage accidents occur almost every month, and black crude oil often appears on the clear lake.

The urban sewage treatment around Lake Maracaibo is not perfect, and the pollution is getting more and more serious. In addition, several surrounding cities continuously discharge sewage into the lake.

Fishing in many parts of Lake Maracaibobo was no longer possible, and even until later, the lake water could not be used to irrigate farmland.

The local government had to pay a huge price to control the pollution of Lake Maracaibo.

Zeng Yunfeng pulled the rein, "Let's go, there is a boat waiting for us below, don't you want to see the scenery of Maracaibobo Lake? Now is the best time."

Zeng Yunfeng shook the rein and left the spot, and Maria also followed him.

At the ship docking point below, there happened to be a big ship floating on Lake Maracaibo. The big ship slowly started to drain the lake water, and the speed increased little by little.

The lake breeze is refreshing.

At this time, Lake Maracaibo did not have the strange pollution of later generations, and no one was developing oil resources in Lake Maracaibo, and oil did not pollute the water surface.

Here is still the same as the original style, everything is given by nature.

"The scenery here is so beautiful!" Maria looked at the Maracaibo Lake in front of her, and she was in a particularly happy mood.

"Yes, the scenery is indeed beautiful, but I don't know how long it will last!" Zeng Yunfeng sighed.

Maria was a little surprised, and looked back at Zeng Yunfeng, "What do you mean? I don't quite understand."

Zeng Yunfeng sighed, sometimes it is like this, "What you see in your eyes is not the same in the eyes of others. There are always some problems that cannot be communicated between people. It creates a divide."

In the distant sky, black clouds pressed down from the horizon like a huge curtain, and purple arcs of light like electric snakes flowed in the black clouds.

The rumbling thunder came from afar, as if a monster was churning in the black clouds.

Maria's gaze was quickly attracted by the wonders in the distance. After all, it is impossible not to be surprised when seeing such a sight in this place.

"What's going on over there?"

Maria looked up at the distant sky and asked in surprise.

"It seems that you don't know much about this land, it's a thunderstorm!" Zeng Yunfeng looked up at the sky.

The thunderstorm was located at a river crossing in the upper reaches of Lake Maracaibo, a frequent site for thunderstorms.

And 365 days a year, there may be 300 days to see this spectacle.

The reason for the formation of thunderstorms is related to many local environmental factors, and the local residents in the birthplace of this thunderstorm are also accustomed to this kind of weather.

Electric snakes danced wildly in the sky, the sailboat was getting closer and closer to the center of the thunderstorm, and the rumbling thunder became more and more alarming.

The sound of rumbling and rumbling was like the beating of war drums, and the shining arc flashed a day in the sky.

Zeng Yunfeng can understand Maria's curiosity.After all, normal people will also be curious when they see such a magical phenomenon.

"Come closer!" Zeng Yunfeng said to the sailor behind him who was manipulating the rudder.

The ship was heading towards the thunderstorm area, but they were still a little uneasy in their hearts.

In Venezuela, almost no one flees to the thunderstorm area during thunderstorms, unless they want to die.

But Zeng Yunfeng still insisted on approaching there.

Lightning and thunder staggered, and the sound changed from the drumbeat just now to a harsher sound, as if thunderstorms were roaring in my ears.

"Let's leave, it's too dangerous!" At this moment, Maria became a little nervous.

Because just a few seconds ago, a thunderbolt struck them tens of meters away and landed on the lake.

The instant thunderstorm produced an explosion, which made her ears still dazzled.

But Zeng Yunfeng did not agree with the sailor operating the rudder to leave here.

The sailors could only bite the bullet and head towards the center of the thunderstorm area.

The closer Maria was to the center of the thunderstorm area, the more nervous she became. She opened her mouth wide and could hardly close it.
