Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

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

There are different opinions on the reasons for the formation of the Taklimakan Desert. Some say it is due to the collision of the earth's crust, while others say it is due to low rainfall and high 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 grasslands, forests and swamps.

Regarding this strange phenomenon, Chinese players were happy but also deeply puzzled.

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

In order to find out, many players have personally gone there to explore the orcs after randomly visiting them. However, due to the lack of professional tools, everyone ultimately returned without success.

Just when many people were ready to let nature take its course and not inquire further, a scholar who studies Caspian tigers raised a possibility.

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

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

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

Xinjiang tigers live in forests, rivers and wetland areas, and their main food is wild boar.

Due to the large-scale reclamation of wasteland by humans, the area of ​​wetlands has been shrinking, Lop Nur has dried up, and the number of wild boars has dropped dramatically. This has caused a rupture in the food chain with the Xinjiang tiger as the top of the pyramid, and eventually led to the extinction of the Xinjiang tiger.

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

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

As the population continued to increase, forests were cut down in large tracts, and pastures were overgrazed and cultivated, causing rivers to dry up and desertification to become severe. The prosperous ancient Loulan country eventually declined.

Like Loulan, the Caspian tiger also encountered an unprecedented disaster. Losing the forest meant losing its food source and its beautiful home, so a large number of Caspian tigers died.

Today, the once prosperous Gu Loulan area has turned into a piece of yellow sand.

Only some broken walls are still standing there, telling people that there was once a prosperous ancient city here.

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

After all, there are so many rivers flowing into the Tarim Basin from the Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains and Altun Mountains. It 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 Caspian tigers, the predator at the top of the food chain, gradually decreases, the number of herbivores cannot be suppressed.

When a large amount of grassland was over-grabbed by herbivores and could not be restored, the land began to become desertified, which eventually led to a serious imbalance in the ecological environment of the Tarim Basin, and finally formed the vast Taklimakan Desert with yellow sand.

The Tarim Basin in the game has not yet been developed by humans, and the orcs living there rarely engage in large-scale agricultural production activities, so it is still lush and green today.

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, is one of the Seven Sheep Secret Realms. Looking from a distance, the entire mountain peak looks like a huge goat head. Because the peak representing the two horns is red, it was named Chiyang Mountain and settled nearby. , you can get one point of scientific research value every day.

Red-horned Goat: There is a one-way portal in the Red Sheep Mountain similar to a sheep's mouth. The portal will spit out a thousand adult red-horned goats at noon every day.

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

Qiyang Kaitai: After gathering seven secret realms including red (orange, yellow, green, green, blue, and purple) sheep mountains, you will gain the natural blessing effect of Qiyang Kaitai, and the growth rate of all livestock in the territory will increase by 100%. Thirty, the growth rate of sheep livestock increases by 70%.

Chiyang Mountain produces 1,000 red-horned goats every day, 30,000 in a month, and 360,000 in a year. This is simply more exaggerated than pie in the sky.

However, the attributes of the only natural wonder are so unreasonable, so people fight to the death for each unique natural wonder.

In addition to the 360,000 red-horned goats provided for free every year, Red Sheep Mountain can also increase the growth rate of sheep livestock in the territory. This attribute is simply even more powerful for a country that mainly focuses on animal husbandry.

The Tiger tribe where Hu Xiaotian belongs has been able to gradually develop from a small tribe into a large empire covering an area of ​​millions of square kilometers, and Chiyang Mountain has played an important role.

It is precisely because of Chiyang Mountain that Tiger Roaring Heaven 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 couldn't obtain a large number of saber-toothed tiger monster eggs, then Hu Xiaotian could afford to raise even tens of thousands more saber-toothed tigers, let alone 10,000 saber-toothed tigers.

The Linhai Empire was founded in Chiyang Mountain. Without Chiyang Mountain, there would be no Linhai Empire today, so Hu Xiaotian knows the importance of Chiyang Mountain better than anyone else.

The reason why the Tiger people can stand proudly above other orc races is because Chiyang Mountain is always under their control.

In order to ensure that the tiger people always enjoy a unique position in the Linhai Empire, Hu Xiaotian built the tiger people's royal city at the location of Chiyang Mountain, and surrounded Chiyang Mountain with walls made of obsidian.

In this way, even if the enemy army presses on the territory, the tiger people can still hold on to the Tiger King City.

As long as the city wall is not breached, they can hold on forever, because a thousand red-horned goats every day are enough to feed many Khajiit warriors.

In addition to the 10,000 Tiger Guards, there are also tens of thousands of Tiger Kings living in the Tiger King City. Those Tiger Kings are all the family members and relatives of Hu Xiaotian and his men. The other orc tribes have not received orders. At that time, they were not allowed to enter Tiger King City.

When Ma Wanli led the Condor Army Cavalry Regiment to attack the Tarim Basin, the Tiger Royal Family immediately recalled all the Tiger Guards to the Tiger King City after receiving the news, and then closed the city gates, preparing to defend the Tiger King City to the death. .

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