"Pata."
The water droplets fell quietly, causing a moving echo in the cave.
From darkness to light, even the best drone had to adapt for a short time before it could switch to the appropriate lighting mode for filming.
A white light flashed. In the next moment, the strange scene that Lu Chen had just seen was reflected in everyone's eyes.
This was an extremely spectacular stalactite cave.
The snow-white stalagmites on the ground stood upright, warm like jade.
The stalactites hanging down from the ceiling of the cave were like a row of flutes, reflecting a soft light under the wide-angle searchlight.
It was spectacular because the stalagmites and stalactites moved in a strange way.
In the spacious cave, the stalactites and stalagmites were symmetrical, forming a very regular circle with only a small gap.
F * ck, this stalactite is awesome!
It's really awesome. I've been to a particularly famous karst cave before, Zhijin Cave. The stalactites there are also very beautiful, but they're not as uniform as the stalactites here!
The stalactites I saw in the past were more or less gray and bald, but this one is very beautiful! It was clean and beautiful!
"The uniform texture means that the environment here and the composition of the dripping water are very stable.”
Lu Chen held the wide-angle searchlight and explained as he walked towards the gap formed by the stalagmites.
There was an echo in the cave. When Lu Chen opened his mouth to speak, coupled with the echo, it was as if he had turned on a reverberation tune, like the whisper of an immortal from the sky.
"Eh? My voice sounded quite nice in the cave.”
Lu Chen also realized this problem and could not help but laugh.
Walking to the gap in the stalagmite, Lu Chen peeked inside.
Good heavens, why was there a second surprise?？
Because the stalagmites were too high, Lu Chen did not notice anything else in the open space in the middle of the stalagmites.
When he turned around to take a look, he realized that what was surrounded by stalagmites was a clear pond!
And right above the pond, there was a huge goose pipe, which was really spectacular.
F * ck, f * ck, brothers, look above, there's a huge crystal chandelier!
F * ck, it really was! So fucking beautiful!
Ahhh, I want a screenshot!
"The goose tube looks good, and it does look like a chandelier. However, it's not a crystal. It's the same thing as the stalactites beside it and the stalagmites on the ground.”
Lu Chen said with a smile.
？？？
Someone was indignant on the spot.
The stalactites and stalagmites hanging down were quite similar in texture, so it was not a problem to say that they were the same thing.
However, that crystal clear chandelier-like thing couldn't be related to stalactites, right?
"I know that everyone thinks it's unbelievable and that I'm not convinced that they're the same thing.
But they were indeed the same thing, except that the stalagmites and stalactites hanging down were their 'adult' forms, while the crystalline goose tubes above their heads were their 'juvenile' forms.”
Lu Chen smiled.
"The reason why it can cause such a strange change is closely related to the conditions for the formation of stalactites.
Those who had a certain understanding of stalactites should know that in order to form stalactites, there must be limestone layers.
When water seeped into the cracks of the limestone, it would dissolve the limestone. When it dripped from the top of the cave, the dissolved calcium would solidify and form stalactites because the water evaporated and carbon dioxide escaped.”
As he spoke, Lu Chen pointed at the "crystal chandelier" above his head.
"The goose tube is the initial form of stalactite. When water drops, the outermost layer is the easiest to condense.
It grew from the top of the cave where the water droplets dripped. Because the water droplets were well-proportioned, the size of the water droplets was basically the same, and it appeared to be in the shape of a thin, hollow glass tube.
If the environment was clean enough and free of pollution, it would turn into a translucent crystal with a hint of jade.”
Lu Chen sighed with emotion.
"This is the first time I've seen such a clean and transparent goose pipe. This place is really very clean.
Moreover, everyone's attention had been attracted by the beautiful goose tubes above their heads. They probably didn't notice that there was something hidden in this " pond ".”
As Lu Chen spoke, he adjusted the angle of the searchlight and shone it at the "pond" in front of him.
It was only then that everyone noticed that there were rings of very natural white bumps in the pool.
Because of their existence, although the entire pool was very quiet, the light shone on it and gave off a sparkling feeling.
"This is also a special type of topography called co-deposit. In the local dialect, it is called a lotus basin.
The largest lotus flower pot that we found in our country was much bigger than this one.
However, it was the first one to appear with such amazing stalactites, stalagmites, and goose tubes.
Therefore, this karst cave had a profound significance for the study of geography.”
After saying that, Lu Chen was about to carry the searchlight and continue walking in to take a look when he saw the shadow of something flashing past in the depths of the pool.
？？？
Lu Chen immediately retracted his foot that had already stretched out. He did not mind the cold ground and directly lay by the pool to look into the pool.
The bottom of the pool was relatively dark, so it was not very clear. However, he was sure that something was moving slowly inside.
There was a creature in the pool!
Lu Chen got up and took out a small box from his bag. From it, he took out an item that was only the size of a fingernail.
After disinfecting it with an alcohol cotton pad and waiting for the alcohol to completely evaporate and dry, Lu Chen carefully threw the small thing into the pool water.
Just as everyone was about to ask Lu Chen what he had thrown into the pool, the screen blurred and the camera switched to the water.
It turned out that the thing Lu Chen threw down was actually a controllable underwater miniature drone!
In order to prevent disturbing the unknown creatures underwater, Lu Chen deliberately let the drone sink as slowly as possible.
The pool was very clear, so the view was also very good.
When it dived to a certain depth, a group of thin little things appeared in the camera.
They looked very similar to prawns, but their bodies were transparent.
When they floated in the water, they were like glass shadows that were so fragile that they would shatter at the slightest touch.
The most special thing was that they were like cave salamanders.
They had no eyes.
" It's actually a blind shrimp…"
Lu Chen took a deep breath and said in surprise.
Blind shrimp? What was a blind shrimp?
Everyone asked curiously.
"This is a very, very rare cave creature. It has very high requirements for living conditions.
Once the water in which they lived was polluted, they would die immediately.
The appearance of blind prawns here meant that the water quality and environment here were quite good.
Just like the cave salamanders, their eyes had degenerated because they had lived in the dark for a long time.
However, the Blind Lobster's degeneration was more thorough than the Cave Salamander's. The Cave Salamander still had its eyes, but it couldn't be used under its skin.
However, the Blind Lobster didn't even have eyes.”
As he sighed, Lu Chen put away the drone.
"Although there is no definite scientific basis to say whether the blind prawns who are suddenly frightened will die suddenly, just to be safe, we should not disturb these little guys.”
Lu Chen got up from the ground and subconsciously wanted to pat the dust off his body. However, his clothes were so clean that it was as if he had never laid on the ground before.
This was too clean.
Lu Chen muttered as he continued to walk in with the searchlight.
After the spectacular stalactite pond, there were also stalactites in several small caves, but they were far inferior in terms of quality and scale.
Therefore, Lu Chen did not stop.
He walked to another slightly larger cave. Just as he was about to take a general view before exploring, the wide-angle searchlight in Lu Chen's hand suddenly flashed twice and then went out!
Because he had turned on the wide-angle searchlight, Lu Chen turned off the headset in order to save power.
Once the lantern went off, he was completely plunged into darkness.
Just as he was about to turn on the headset to see what was wrong, before Lu Chen's hand could touch the switch of the headset, a faint blue light lit up around him!
The picture attached to this chapter was "Stalactite in Infant Stage", goose tube!
