What is recorded in the Northwest Devil s Valley? Where is Devil s Valley located?

In summer and autumn, the area around the "Devil's Valley" becomes eerie, often with strong winds, dark clouds, lightning and thunder, followed by overwhelming rain, snow and hail. In 1983, horses from a pasture in Qinghai Province entered the valley because they were greedy for the fertile grass of the Nalengrad Valley, but they never came out. A herdsman went into the valley looking for horses, and when he entered, he also disappeared.

Later, the bones of horses and the corpses of herders were found on a hill. The herdsman, in tattered clothes and angry eyes, clutched a shotgun in his hand. Puzzledly, he didn't have any injuries on his body.

Since then, this picturesque valley has been known as the Devil's Valley, and people can only "stay away" from it.

In the Kunlun Mountains in the northern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, there happened to be such a strange thing. There is a little-known inland river called the Nasograd River, which is a rich place with picturesque scenery, fertile grass and beautiful water. With the towering main ridge of the Kunlun Mountains to the south, and the Muztag Mountains to the north, which block the dry and hot summer air of the Qaidam Basin, the two mountains are sandwiched by rivers, with abundant rainfall and humid climate, coupled with glacial snowmelt in the large and small tributaries of the leaf veins, this ancient valley is well irrigated, so that the pasture here looks like a splendid green velvet felt from afar.

The snow and ice melted, the grass and swamps everywhere were dyed green, and the mountains and valleys were dyed green. In summer, the mountains are full of flowers, bees and butterflies are dancing, and everything is thriving; In autumn, herds of wild yaks, wild asses, Tibetan antelopes, antelopes, and yellow sheep wander on the golden grasslands with silver mangs. In short, you would never associate such a beautiful scene with the "Devil's Valley", but it is indeed a terrifying place wrapped in beautiful calm.

In the northwest of China, there is a long and narrow valley with a length of 100 kilometers and a width of 30 kilometers, starting from Mangya Town in Qinghai Province in the east and reaching Shashan in Ruoqiang County in Xinjiang in the west. With an average altitude of 3,200 meters, the valley is a good natural pasture. However, it is known as the "Devil's Valley" and has been considered a forbidden place for thousands of years, as many people and herds have lost their lives here.

"It's fine when the weather is fine, but when the weather changes, it's terrifying." The wind on the flat ground, the lightning and thunder, especially the rolling thunder, shook the mountains and shook the ground, and the woods were scorched, and people and animals were struck by lightning as soon as they touched them, and there was no survivor. In the distant Altun Mountains, there is an off-the-beaten-path place known as the "Devil's Valley".

In the early winter of last year, Zhao Ziyun, a seventy-year-old geological engineer, trekked through the "Devil's Valley", which is about 90 kilometers long, and obtained the first-hand information of the geographical landform and historical secrets of the "Devil's Valley" for the first time through scientific investigation - the "Desert King" bravely explored the "Devil's Valley".

In the northwest of China, there is a valley called "Devil's Valley", which stretches from Buruntai in Mangya Town, Qinghai Province in the east, to Shashan in Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the west, with a length of about 100 kilometers and a width of about 30 kilometers, with an average altitude of 3,200 meters above sea level. This valley has the Kunlun Mountains in the south and the Altun Mountains in the north, the two mountains are sandwiched, the rainfall is abundant, the climate is humid, and the glaciers are all over the place, the lakes and swamps are dotted, although it is located inland, but the forests are luxuriant, and the pastures are beautiful. However, this seemingly ideal natural pasture turns into an eerie hell when the weather changes, with wind and lightning and thunder.

In particular, the rolling thunder shook the mountains and scorched the trees. The valley has been regarded as a forbidden place for thousands of years by the nomadic ethnic minorities in the vicinity, and the occasional person who strays into it often survives due to lightning strikes. In order to uncover the mystery of the "Devil's Valley", geological scientists in Qinghai Province risked their lives many times to conduct on-the-spot scientific exploration of this valley, and finally made a major breakthrough.

Geological exploration has confirmed that in addition to the strong magnetic basalt body of the large Triassic volcanic eruption, there are also more than 30 iron ore and quartz diorite bodies in the goskull in this valley. Tested here peaks as high as 1000 to 3000 gamma. Due to the electromagnetic effect of the strong magnetic field formed by the underground rock mass and the iron ore belt, the charge in the lightning cloud is induced, and the air discharge is generated, forming a blast mine.

As soon as lightning hits an empty object on the ground, it will produce a tip discharge phenomenon, and people and herds on the pasture become the target of lightning bombardment. The reason why the pastures in this valley grow luxuriantly is precisely because the high temperature generated by lightning causes the nitrogen in the air to oxidize to form nitrogen dioxide, which becomes a high-quality fertilizer that falls from the sky.

The Devil's Valley stretches from Shashan in Ruoqiang, Xinjiang in the west to Buruntai in Qinghai Province in the east, with a total length of 100 kilometers, a width of about 30 kilometers, and an altitude of 3,000 to 4,000 meters. In the south of the valley, there is the main ridge of Kunyu Doushoulun Mountain, which is towering into the clouds, and there is Qilian Mountain in the north to block the Qaidam Basin. Sandwiched between two mountains, with abundant rainfall and a humid climate, although it is located inland, it is luxuriant in forests and beautiful pastures.

However, this seemingly ideal natural pasture turns into an eerie hell when the weather changes, with wind, lightning and thunder, especially rolling thunder, which shakes the mountains and burns the woods. The nearby nomadic tribes have regarded this valley as a forbidden place for thousands of years. Those who accidentally strayed into it often were struck by lightning and rarely survived.

On a flat plateau in Arizona, USA, there is a huge crater with a diameter of 1,310 meters, the bottom of the pit is nearly 200 meters lower than the surrounding stone walls, and the stone walls are 50 meters higher than the ground on the periphery. In 1892, some scientists discovered it inadvertently during their expeditions. They noticed that the thick layers of sandstone and limestone that made up the stone walls had been broken by a terrible force and turned outward.

To the south of the rock wall is a 600-metre-long vertical slab that rises 35 metres above the horizontal strata of the same sedimentary rock layer. There are traces of fragmentation on some rocks at the bottom of the pit and near the pit from the violent blows. The bottom of the pit and the walls were not only filled with stones, but also rusty and irregular pieces of iron.

These pieces of iron are surface polished and etched with a solution of dilute nitric acid to give them the characteristic Westedden pattern of meteoric iron. Not only that, but hundreds of meteorite fragments were found a few hundred meters away from the crater, ranging in weight from a few grams to kilograms. In addition, there are a large number of small pieces of iron that have been turned into foam due to rust.

According to the analysis of archaeologists, this is a crater created by the rapid fall of an iron meteorite (meteorite) and impact the ground. After careful investigation and analysis, it was learned that this crater was formed about 20,000 years ago by a meteorite with a diameter of more than 50 meters and a mass of 130,000 tons violently hitting the earth's surface at a speed of 25 kilometers per second.

It is curious that a decent large piece of meteorite was not found in the pit. Where did this huge meteorite go? A natural thought is:

The main part of it has been drilled deep into the strata that make up the plateau. If you can find it, it will undoubtedly be very meaningful scientifically, and it will also be very valuable for the study of meteorites.

However, Barrigueo, an expert in craters, was unable to raise enough money from American research institutes to do the drilling. As a result, they had to lobby some wealthy consortia to convince them that this piece of pure iron from heaven had a very important commercial value, because pure iron had never existed on earth in its natural state. Thus, the joint-stock company that invested in the drilling project was organized and carried out its work.

However, the work has not progressed smoothly. At first, when the drill bit drilled down several points in the center of the pit to a depth of 400 meters, it began to remove sandstone dust containing iron filings, which seemed encouraging. However, the further down you go, the fewer iron filings there are.

Eventually, the head of the hail ridge reached an entire red rock formation, which resulted in nothing, and Barrigueo had to give up due to financial problems. But what exactly is the reason? There is still no definitive answer to it.

Located in a mountainous area in Qinghai Province in northwestern China, the Devil's Valley is about 100 kilometers long and 30 kilometers wide, with an average elevation of about 3,200 meters. This valley has Kunlun Mountain in the south, Altun Mountain in the north, the two mountains are sandwiched between hunger, abundant rainfall, humid climate, although it is located inland, but the forest is luxuriant, the pasture is beautiful. However, this seemingly ideal natural pasture turns into an eerie hell when the weather changes, with wind and lightning and thunder.

In particular, the rolling locust limbs were derailed and the thunder exploded, shaking the mountains and shaking the ground, and the woods were burned to the ground. Thousands of lead people, a nomadic minority in the vicinity, have regarded this valley as a forbidden place for many years. Those who accidentally strayed into it often were struck by lightning and rarely survived.

In order to uncover the mystery of the "Devil's Valley". Geological scientists in Qinghai Province have risked their lives many times to conduct on-the-spot scientific exploration of this valley, and finally made a major breakthrough. Geological survey has confirmed that in this valley stratum, in addition to the strong magnetic basalt body of the large Triassic volcanic eruption, there are also more than 30 iron ore and quartz diorite bodies are also distributed.

Although the mystery of the "Devil's Valley" has been revealed, people are still very interested in it.
