How to solve the mystery of water monster and water beast?

Qinghai Lake is located at the tail of Qinghai Plateau, covering an area of 4,583 square kilometers, and is the largest inland lake in China. Qinghai Lake is about 3196m above sea level and 32.8m deep. Surrounded by mountains, the lake is clear and blue. The farther you go to the center of the lake, the less buoyant the salty stagnant water is, and almost no one dares to go. Once, a motorized sailboat tried to push into the middle of the lake and capsized within a few miles. No one dared to take the risk again.

What's the middle of the lake like? Curious people can't help but guess that the mysterious legend in the middle of the lake has been formed. Legend has it that the bottom of Qinghai Lake is really unusual, where there is a bottomless black hole. This cave leads to the Black Sea in the north, and the water in the Black Sea is transported by lakes. For generations, the meltwater from the snow-capped mountains and glaciers around Qinghai Lake has been sent to the lake, but it is not enough for black holes to send away. As a result, the water level in Qinghai Lake has dropped by 30 to 40 meters compared with hundreds of years ago. The god of darkness lives in this black hole, crosses the "water bridge", sometimes comes to this lake, and sometimes goes far away. The theory of black hole and fish essence greatly aroused the curiosity of a young Tibetan. He risked his life to enter the middle of the lake alone. He searched the ice in the middle of the lake for a long time, but found a huge whirlpool underwater, impacting the surrounding water ... According to experts' estimation, there may be a strong magnetic field in the middle of the lake, which makes the water turn into a whirlpool, and there may be a path at the bottom of the whirlpool that leads nowhere.

1In mid-June, 955, a small group of PLA soldiers accompanied a scientist on a scientific investigation in Qinghai Lake. One day, they 10 took two amphibious vehicles and drove from the east side of the starfish to the other side. At noon 1 1 ~ 12, the weather was hotter than usual and the water surface was calm. When traveling about seventeen or eighteen kilometers, Li Xiaoan, the squad leader, found a black and yellow thing with a length of 10 and a width of about 2 meters 80 meters ahead on the right. Its top is basically flat with the water surface. At that time, Li Xiaoan thought it was a sand dune covered with moss, so he reminded the driver. The dunes are getting closer and closer. When it is about 30 meters away from the soldiers, it can be seen clearly with the naked eye. Just as people were talking about it, they suddenly saw the "sand dune" flashing upwards, exposing the water for about 30 cm, and then sinking and disappearing.

1960 In the spring, during the fishing season, fishermen were fishing in the lake. Suddenly, the workers found that the water in the middle of the lake suddenly rolled into the sky in the distance. In an instant, I saw a black "giant reef" gradually surfaced, like a turtle shell and whale back, like an unknown island. For a long time, I saw the "black giant reef" shaking, stirring up a huge wave and then sinking into the water. This scene appeared several times, which surprised the witnesses! People have rumored that there is a thousand-year-old fish turtle and so on.

1On the afternoon of May 23, 982, the staff of No.2 fishing boat of No.5 Brigade of Qinghai Lake Farm witnessed the "water monster" again. It was sultry that afternoon and the lake was calm. At four o'clock, the fishing boat began to return. Later, two workers standing at the stern saw a huge black and yellow monster swimming on the water 20 degrees north of Haixing Mountain, slightly larger than the sampan, with no head and tail exposed, about 13 ~ 14 meters, which was very conspicuous. The helmsman immediately turned the bow and rushed at the monster, but the boat drove about 50 meters away from the monster. It takes about 5 minutes from the discovery of the monster to its dive. When diving, the monster's body shone like a fish skin, and a wide and large vortex appeared on the water surface, which lasted for a long time. Happily, the whole sighting was described in detail in the Fishing Boat Record Book, which provided the first authentic and reliable written record for studying the monster in Qinghai Lake.

A comprehensive analysis of these three sightings shows that there are several similarities: first, the weather was sultry before the monster appeared; Secondly, the monsters witnessed three times are large in size and all black in color, and their activity characteristics are that they sink immediately after they surface; Third, they are all over 10 meter long, so it can be concluded that these three monsters are similar objects. Both appear between Haixing Mountain and the east bank of Qinghai Lake.

We can speculate that the monsters in Qinghai Lake are not like plesiosaurs, an ancient reptile, because the monsters that appeared three times all hid their heads and tails, and there was no tall hump, which did not conform to the life habits of plesiosaurs. For many years, Tibetans around Qinghai Lake have always regarded the flying eagle in the sky and the swimming fish in the water as gods, never hurting or catching fish. Over time, the fish in the lake breed to saturation, and big fish weighing tens of kilograms are common. Although some state-owned fishing grounds have started fishing, it is not known whether there are any rare big fish left in the lake. Of course, it is not credible to say that the monster may be a big fish, because the largest freshwater fish can't grow to 13 or 14 meters. According to literature, it is rare that freshwater fish can grow to five or six meters long.

The monster in Qinghai Lake is neither a "god" nor a big fish. What could it be? Its appearance has attracted the attention of the world scientific community. One day, science will uncover its mystery.

Changbai Mountain, like a jade dragon, straddles the northeast border of China. It is famous at home and abroad for its beautiful, rich and spectacular scenery. Tianchi Lake in Baitou Mountain, near the main peak of Changbai Mountain, is the boundary lake between China and North Korea, with an altitude of 2 194 meters and an area of more than 9 square kilometers. It is a famous volcanic lake with the deepest point of 373 meters and the average water depth of 204 meters. Tianchi Lake has always attracted countless tourists with its clear water, boiling hot springs and roaring waterfalls, but since August 1962, people found two monsters chasing each other and swimming on the surface of Tianchi Lake with telescopes, Tianchi's reputation has become even greater.

1August 2, 980123, there were rare sunny days in Tianchi for three consecutive days (these days are the rainy season in Changbai Mountain). It was in these three days that people witnessed the elegant demeanor of the "water monster" in Tianchi. On the morning of August 2 1, six people, including the writer Jia Lei, found a "water monster" in the middle of Tianchi. From a distance, its tip sometimes presents a black spot as big as a washbasin, looks like a head, and sometimes presents a long spindle-shaped body, like a ridge. It circled back and forth in the pool water and then disappeared from the water. The next morning, five or six "water monsters" suddenly appeared on the lake in the distance. It took about 40 minutes to dive into the water one by one. On the third morning, because people witnessed the "water monster" for two consecutive days, more curious tourists wanted to see the "water monster" as soon as possible. At 8: 30 in the morning, several people first found two "water monsters" surfaced. They looked at the witnesses first, then turned around and swam to the middle of the lake one by one. They didn't dive one by one until they were four or five hundred meters away from the shore, which lasted about 10 minutes. A comrade of the astronomical weather station never gave up, waiting patiently for them to appear again. After more than an hour, he suddenly saw a huge head, 1 meter long neck and part of his chest exposed on the water forty or fifty meters ahead. He clearly saw that this "monster" had dark brown hair, a white ring at the bottom of his neck, about 5-7 cm wide, round eyes and the size of a ping-pong ball. The monster swam towards him. He panicked and quickly raised his gun to aim. Just then, the "monster" suddenly turned around and swam to the middle of the lake. Bang, bang, the gun went off, but it didn't care at all. After swimming for some distance, it dived into the water.

According to statistics, from 1962 to 1980, the "water monster" in Tianchi was witnessed by more than 20 people for five times. The description of the "water monster" can be summarized as follows: the head is bigger than the bull's head, the mouth is protruding, the neck is long (about 1 m, with a white ring at the root of the neck) and the body is strong (more than 3 meters).

198 1 June17th, Tianchi found strange animals again. At noon 12: 40, Li Changyou, director of Hengshan Police Station of Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve Administration, and five comrades were taking photos on the mountain. At this moment, one of them suddenly pointed to a blue hose in Tianchi and shouted, "Look, a white thing is coming out!" " People look in and see a white dot protruding from the blue lake. They were surprised to find that through the telescope, it was a monster about 2 meters long. Its head is big and round, like the head of a leopard. Except the forehead and the top of the head are pure white, the other visible body parts are egg yellow. Its slender body floats on the water like an anchovy, dragging a tail, and it floats on the water as if in the sun. Six people take turns to observe the lake monster with binoculars. When they saw it swimming in the water for a while and crawling on the ice for a while, they couldn't help but be surprised!

198 1 At noon on September 2, 2008, the reporter of New Observation took the only photo of the Tianchi monster in China with a Nikon camera and a 1000 mm telephoto lens. Because there happens to be a crow flying on the lake as the foreground lens, it is not difficult to calculate that the length of the monster behind the crow above the water is 2-3 meters. The photos prove that there are some strange animals in Tianchi.

What did Li Changyou and six other people see? What is the picture of Tianchi monster? Is there really a "water monster" in Tianchi? There are different opinions about whether there is a "water monster" in Tianchi.

Some people think that the Tianchi monster is recorded in Fengtian Tongzhi, and the residents who have lived under Changbai Mountain for generations are also convinced. They call it "snake dragon". The earliest record about monsters comes from Fengtian Tongzhi. About 100 years ago, "four hunters went to Tianchi to catch Aotai, and when they saw something coming out of the white pool under Pan Zhifeng, it was golden yellow, with a head as big as an angel, a square top with horns and a long neck, they bowed their heads and shook it like water, and they all climbed halfway up the mountain. Suddenly, they heard a bang and found nothing. " "A brief account of the back mountain of Changbai Mountain" records in more detail: "Traveler Xu Yongshun Yun, in May of the 29th year of Guangxu, his brother Fu Shun, Wang Rang and Yu Fu went to Changbai Mountain to hunt deer" and chased him to Tianchi. "A suitable thing as big as a buffalo, its roar is deafening, as if to pounce on people, and the public is afraid and relatively eclipsed. The more urgent it is, the more you have to shoot and stop the mast. If you worry about things, you will eat them. Six small guns were inserted in the back of the waist and secretly taken away and put away. In the belly. Yelling for a long time, squatting in the pool. After more than half a minute, hail rained down, about an inch in size. Six people each avoided the stone. Yu and Fushun were bleeding on their heads and wrapped in wet clothes. The pool was as heavy as before, and nothing was seen. "

There are indications that there seems to be internal consistency in the records of Tianchi local chronicles, folklore and discoveries in recent years. At present, no higher or larger animals have been found in Tianchi, but after careful scientific investigation, it has not been confirmed that there is nothing else in Tianchi. The "water monster" in Tianchi needs further understanding.

198 1 July 12, 2008, the North Korean scientific expedition discovered a "strange circle" in Tianchi. At that time, this strange animal swam from the top of the mountain to Tianchi in the early morning, and from the foot of the mountain to the cliff on the other side, with a swimming distance of 1.8 km. After swimming to the other side, sit for a while and finally go west into the valley. According to observation and detailed photographic data, North Korean scientists believe that Tianchi "monster" is a black bear. A scientist in our country questioned this view. He thinks that black bears are good at swimming. It is possible for him to swim in Tianchi Lake in summer, or swim from one shore to the other. It is entirely possible. But black bears and what people call "monsters" are two different things. Because the "monster" described by many people has a slender body and a long neck, and is good at diving. On the other hand, a black bear has a thick body and a short neck. Although they can swim, they are not good at diving. In addition, when people just opened the ice on the lake, they saw "monsters" crawling from the water to the ice. At that time, the black bear might still be squatting! Every time people see the "monster", it disappears into the water, which is also impossible for the black bear. So the black bear can't explain the mystery of the "monster" rumored by people. In his view, the "monster" is probably an otter. Otter is slender, good at diving, and can swim far downstream, which is very similar to the "monster" described by people. At the same time, otters often walk long distances in search of food. It is likely that I occasionally entered Tianchi for food and saw it from a distance. Coupled with the refraction of light, animals are magnified, thus becoming the legendary Tianchi "monster".

Those who hold negative opinions on Tianchi, a "monster", have the following reasons: Tianchi is formed by the accumulation of water in an active crater, and its formation time is not long. According to historical records, Changbai Mountain erupted three times, namely 1597, 1668 and 1702. The last eruption was only 299 years ago, not to mention the formation of Tianchi Lake for nearly a hundred years. Even for thousands of years, what Mesozoic animals really survived and turned to ashes after the volcanic eruption. Suppose there is such a large animal living in Tianchi, their food source is very problematic. Except for microorganisms, no other creatures were found in the lake, and there were no traces of eating on the grass beside the lake. So it can't explain the food source of this large animal. Furthermore, any kind of creature needs a certain number of individuals to ensure its sustainable reproduction, otherwise it will eventually become extinct due to the continuous degradation of its constitution. As far as the Tianchi "water monster" is concerned, if it wants to exist in history and continue to this day, it must have a certain number of individuals, and it should have been discovered long ago, otherwise it would be unimaginable.

There is a view that monsters may be floating stones in Tianchi, giving people the illusion.

Is the "water monster" in Tianchi the same illusion produced by many witnesses? If not all, what kind of convincing things will it be?
