My country is magnificent, and it itself is a magical existence, a shining and wonderful flower on the earth.In the magical China, there are many magical places, among which the most mysterious and mysterious is Lop Nur.

Lop Nur is located in the east of the Tarim Basin. Because of the depression in the terrain, it accidentally became the center of water accumulation in the Tarim Basin. Many rivers originating from the Tianshan, Kunlun and Altun Mountains, such as the Tarim River, Kongque River, Cheerchen River, Milan River, etc., all flow into Lop Nur.As a result, a bright pearl was born ten thousand years ago in history, Lop Nur Lake.

At one time, the Silk Road passed through here, the sound of camels echoed, business travelers were bustling, and the flow of people was like weaving; or at one time, there were lush grass, flying birds, flocks of cattle and sheep; still at one time, there were big and small countries blooming everywhere, There are many cities, and thousands of houses are lit;  …

In short, Lop Nur in history is definitely a place suitable for human survival. The paradise-like existence of the Garden of Eden requires water to have water, mountains to have mountains, trees to have trees, and grass to have grass. Because the land is extremely fertile, the planted The dealers are all highly productive.

Today's Lop Nur is really "not what it used to be". The fairy lake has disappeared, leaving only vicissitudes and devastation, and it has become a barren land with a temperature difference of 70 degrees between day and night as far as the eye can see. Any life is daunting.

The once luxuriant herbs are gone; the beautiful flowers are gone; flocks of wild ducks and birds are gone; tall green trees are gone; abundant water sources are gone; row upon row of cities are gone; business travel is gone gone, the camels are gone, the people are gone,...Well, even the fucking way is gone, everything is gone.Uh, no, at least there are some relics left, relics of merchant travel, relics of cities, relics of lakes.

Both Lop Nur Lake and Qinghai Lake are saltwater lakes, and the water contains more salt.Brick scholars believe that in ancient times, our Northwest Plateau was not what it is now, but an ocean, connected to the Pacific Ocean.Later, the earth's crust changed, the sea and land changed, the plateau rose suddenly, the sea water receded, and the sea became a mulberry field.Of course, when the sea water retreats, it is impossible to retreat all of it, and some will always be intercepted and form inland lakes.Ever since, the water in Lop Nur Lake and Qinghai Lake is salty.As the water in the lake dwindled, the water became more salty.When the lake is gone, a thick layer of salt will appear on the bottom of the lake.

Qinghai Lake still exists and is known as the largest inland lake in China.At the beginning of the last century, its area was 4800 square kilometers. In the middle of the last century, it was 4500 square kilometers. At the end of the century, the area was a little less.In addition to the decrease in lake surface area, its water level is also decreasing, with an average decrease of 13 centimeters per year.Ever since, some brick experts said that if the ecological environment of Qinghai Lake is allowed to deteriorate, the desertification area of ​​the lake area will reach 40 square kilometers in 1300 years, and it will be completely finished in 200 years.

Well, what I want to talk about here is Lop Nur, and Qinghai Lake is just used for comparison.

Before Lop Nur disappeared, it was considered the second largest inland lake in China after Qinghai Lake.

When it was measured in 1942, the area of ​​Lop Nor Lake reached 3000 square kilometers, making it the second largest inland lake.The title of "second child" is still called so until now, even though it is finished.It can be seen that everyone adores it.We can even think that everyone's worship of Lop Nur in the lake is no less than the worship of Mount Tai in the mountains.

When it was measured in 1959, a miracle happened. The area of ​​Lop Nor Lake surged to 5350 square kilometers, surpassing Qinghai Lake at that time, and leapt to the largest inland lake. The entire "big ear" terrain was completely covered by lake water.Although it is said that due to a major flood in a certain place, the water flowed to Lop Nur and the lake increased sharply, but there are still some scholars in China who want to "rectify its name" and call it the largest inland lake.The reason why the word "rectification of name" is used here is because Lop Nur was indeed the largest inland lake a long time ago, larger than Qinghai Lake, and even bigger.According to the research of experts and professors, the area of ​​Lop Nur in ancient times was even as large as 10 square kilometers. It is 20 times the size of Qinghai Lake, but it is not as good as the Caspian Sea. Not to mention that the big ears are covered by the lake, and even the Tarim on the west side The basin is also covered by lake water, including that, the Taklamakan Desert.

To "rectify the name" of Lop Nur does not mean that it will be rectified.If Lop Nur ranked first, Qinghai would not be willing.In the process of name rectification, noise and disputes are indispensable.And who would have thought that before the scholars of bricks and scholars could argue over why, just one year later, the water in Lop Nur Lake dropped sharply by 2000 square kilometers, and after two years, it dropped by more than 660 square kilometers. By the third year, the water in the lake was reduced to only [-] square kilometers.

Don't say that Lop Nur can't "rectify" the throne of the largest inland lake, but also downgrade it and kick it out of China's top 600 inland lakes.There is no way to do this. My China has a vast land and abundant resources, and there are many lakes. Although the lake of [-] square kilometers is also very large, it cannot enter the top twenty.

Of course, the Brick scholars were not in a hurry to downgrade Lop Nur, but were looking forward to it, expecting the lake to increase again.Aren’t all the lakes now have dry seasons and water vapor? When they dry up, they swell, swell, dry, swell again, swell and dry...

But this time, Lop Nur disappointed brick scholars and the world, and it never rose again.By the 70s, there was hardly a drop of water here.Perhaps even Lop Nur itself doesn't know that its dry water has dried up into eternity. Similarly, it has also achieved its good name and a good story.

As the saying goes, the demise of Lop Nur must have been well deserved, otherwise it would certainly not be as famous as it is today, and its reputation has spread far and wide at home and abroad.

Even if Lop Nur had a glorious past, so what, it is not finished now, it has become a desolate desert.The annual precipitation here is only 10 millimeters, but the evaporation is as high as three to four thousand millimeters, and the relative humidity of the air is zero, absolutely dry.

Yes, Lop Nur has disappeared, and it has existed for thousands of years, even millions of years, with abundant water, and it is probably too tired to live.Of course, with the demise of Lop Nur, human beings also need to self-reflect. For example, in order to fight for immediate interests, human beings have indiscriminately cut down and overgrazed, causing serious soil erosion and large-scale desertification of the land.

No matter what, most people in the world still hope that Lop Nur can "resurrect from the dead", because of its splendid history, the things in the ancient Western Regions, the legends are magical and mysterious, but the contemporary world can't see it, and they don't know what it is True or false.
