Chapter 813 Tarim Basin and Chiyang Mountain

The Taklimakan Desert is the largest desert in China. It occupies approximately 82% of the Tarim Basin.

There are different opinions on the cause of the formation of the Taklimakan Desert. Some say it is the cause of crust collision, and some say it is the cause of low rainfall and large evaporation.

However, no matter how modern people argue, in the game, the Taklimakan Desert does not exist. The entire central part of the Tarim Basin is covered with grass, forests and swamps.

Regarding this strange phenomenon, the Chinese players are also deeply puzzled while happy.

What does it mean that the Taklimakan Desert does not exist?

In order to find out, many players have personally explored there after randomly arriving at the orc clan, but due to the lack of professional tools, all of them ended up in vain.

Just when many people were ready to go with the flow and stop asking questions, a scholar who studied Caspian tigers put forward a possibility.

Caspian tiger, also known as Xinjiang tiger, Persian tiger, Caucasian tiger, Turan tiger, West Asian tiger, Central Asian tiger, is the third largest subspecies of tiger.

The Caspian tiger was once widely distributed in the Xinjiang region of China, and it became extinct in China in 1916.

Regarding the extinction of Xinjiang tigers, academic circles generally believe that it was caused by human production activities.

Xinjiang Tiger Life is found in forests, rivers and wetlands. Their main food is wild boar.

Due to the large-scale reclamation of human beings, the wetland area has been continuously reduced, Lop Nur dried up, and the number of wild boars was greatly reduced. The food chain with the Xinjiang tiger as the apex of the pyramid was broken, and the Xinjiang tiger was eventually extinct.

In order to convince people, the scholar took Gu Loulan as an example and put forward his own unique insights.

Loulan, the hometown of Caspian tigers, has gradually become an important transportation hub in the Western Regions due to its superior geographical location.

As the population continues to increase, forests are cut down, overgrazing and pastures are cultivated, causing rivers to dry up, land desertification is serious, and the prosperous ancient Loulan country finally declines.

Like Loulan, Caspian tigers also suffered unprecedented disasters. Losing the forest means losing their food sources and their beautiful homes, so a large number of Caspian tigers died.

Today, the once prosperous Gu Loulan area has been turned into a piece of yellow sand, with only some broken walls standing tenaciously there, telling people that there used to be a prosperous ancient city.

From point to surface, Gu Loulan can be transformed from a fertile land into a barren desert due to human activities, so there is nothing impossible in the Tarim Basin.

After all, there are so many rivers flowing into the Tarim Basin from the Tianshan, Kunlun and Altun Mountains. There should not be a barren desert, even if there is sand, it should not be of such a large scale.

The only possibility is that as the number of predators at the top of the Caspian tiger’s food chain gradually decreases, the number of herbivores cannot be suppressed.

When a large number of pastures were overeaten by herbivores and could not be restored, the land began to desertification, which eventually led to a serious imbalance in the ecological environment of the Tarim Basin, and finally formed the vast yellow sands of the Taklimakan Desert.

Since the Tarim Basin in the game has not been developed by humans, few orcs in Life there are engaged in large-scale agricultural production activities, so it is still lush and lush now.

In the center of the Tarim Basin, there is a hill that looks like a sheep’s head-Chiyang Mountain.

Chiyang Mountain

The only natural wonder, the mountain peak, one of the seven sheep secret realm, from a distance, the whole mountain peak is like a huge goat’s head. Because the peak representing the two horns is red, it is named Chiyang Mountain. It is nearby. Settle down and get a little scientific research value every day.

Red horn goats: There is a one-way portal in Chiyang Mountain, which resembles a sheep’s beak. The portal spews out a thousand adult red horn goats at noon every day.

Sheep: The growth rate of all sheep in the territory is increased by 30%.

Qiyang Kaitai: After collecting the seven secret realms of Chi (orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple) Yangshan, you will receive the natural blessing effect of Qiyang Kaitai, and the growth rate of all livestock in the territory will be increased by a percentage. At thirty, the growth rate of sheep-like livestock increased by 70%.

Chiyang Mountain produces 1,000 red horn goats every day, 30,000 heads a month and 360,000 heads a year, which is even more exaggerated than a pie in the sky.

However, the attribute of the only natural wonder is so unreasonable, that’s why people will be beaten up to fight for each one of the only natural wonders.

In addition to the 360,000 red horn goats given out for free each year, Chiyang Mountain can also increase the growth rate of sheep in the territory. This attribute is just like a tiger for a country that is dominated by animal husbandry.

The tiger tribe where Tiger Xiaotian is located can gradually develop from a small tribe into a large empire covering an area of ​​several million square kilometers, and Chiyang Mountain is indispensable.

It is precisely because of the Chiyang Mountain that Hu Xiaotian can afford to raise so many saber-toothed tigers.

If it weren’t for the fact that there were only two saber-toothed tiger secret realms in the entire Tarim Basin, and Hu Xiaotian could not obtain a large number of saber-toothed tiger Magical Beasts eggs, let alone 10,000 saber-toothed tigers, even if there were tens of thousands more, Hu Xiaotian could also raise them. rise.

The Linhai Empire originated in Chiyang Mountain. Without Chiyang Mountain, there would be no Linhai Empire as it is today. Therefore, Hu Xiaotian knows the importance of Chiyang Mountain better than anyone.

The reason why the tiger race can stand proudly above other orc races is because the Scarlet Yang Mountain is always under their control.

In order to ensure that the tiger clan can always enjoy a unique position in the Linhai Empire, the tiger roaring sky built the tiger’s king city on the location of Chiyang Mountain, and the city wall made of obsidian enclosed Chiyang Mountain in the middle.

In this way, even if the enemy’s army crushes the territory, the tiger people can hold onto the Tiger King City.

As long as the city wall is not broken, they can hold on forever, because 1,000 red horn goats a day are enough to feed a lot of tiger warriors.

In addition to the 10,000 tiger guards in the Tiger King City, there are also tens of thousands of tiger royal families. Those tiger royal families are Hu Xiaotian and his family members and relatives. The other orcs have not received orders. At that time, he was not allowed to enter Tiger King City.

When Ma Wanli led the Condor Cavalry Corps into the Tarim Basin, the tiger royals who received the news immediately recalled all the tiger guards back to the Tiger King City, and then closed the city gates and prepared to defend the Tiger King City. .

After the Condor Army recruited all the other orc tribes in the Tarim Basin, there was only one Tiger King City left in the entire Xinjiang region, which was outside the rule of the Condor Empire.
