The tow truck guy and Liu Xin agreed on a time and left. The locals were not surprised by people going to the desert to play with cars in the sand. We have agreed on a time, just come and pull the car at that time.
Our convoy set off slowly, achieving the best fuel-saving effect at a constant speed.
Liu Xin's driving skills were good, and the speed was stable at 70 kilometers per hour along the way. We stopped and walked in the afternoon until dawn the next day before choosing a sandbox to start resting. Liu Xin took a sip of water, took out a box of toothpaste and lightly applied a layer of toothpaste on her lips. The fourth brother wondered, "Sister Xin, what are you doing?"
Liu Xin said, "This is to moisturize and prevent dry lips. No lip balm is as effective as toothpaste. There was once a senior who walked out of a desert prison with a box of toothpaste and a bottle of water. This is the successful experience of his predecessors." "
My fourth brother and I also quickly applied some. After setting up the tent and putting on the anti-UV tarpaulin, we replenished some energy and started to rest. According to the plan, we sleep during the day and travel at night for the first three days. On the fourth day, we follow the theory and set up a base camp after we get closer to the target. After the base camp is set up, search for targets during the day and rest at night. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is so great that when driving at night, people can't stand the cold, and when sleeping during the day, it's so hot that they go crazy.
I think it is really not easy to get to the target point. It is said to be the base camp, but it is actually three vehicles and four tents. In the middle of the tents are more than a dozen holes dug with our professional skills, so that we can use the condensation method to obtain some water. , something is better than nothing.
We launched the drone and surveyed the surrounding area in a fan shape with the base camp as the center point. And for the first time, real-time data was sent to Hua Jianguo.
After the job is completed. According to experience, next we have to rest and wait for instructions.
In the afternoon, we received Hua Jianguo's latest instructions via satellite phone. We are closer to the ancient channel of Shule River in order to reduce water evaporation consumption. The base camp is now moved 70 kilometers westward. Then start working with a Luoyang shovel.
After everything was ready, I started the ground exploration work alone. Because of the limited power, I couldn't use too many equipment, so I could only dig down bit by bit with a Luoyang shovel. What are you looking for? Look for soil with high ground salt content or saline-alkali sand. The Shule River once flowed into Lop Nur, the salt marsh, and joined hands with the Tarim River, with a total length of about 1,000 kilometers. As for the reasons for the retreat, although there are natural reasons such as climate fluctuations and geographical changes, the more important factor is the influence of humans. Starting from the "Four Counties and Two Passes" in the Western Han Dynasty, along with the development of oasis in the Shule River Basin and After thousands of years of immigration and settlement, a large amount of water was trapped in the oasis fields in the middle and upper reaches, and the amount of water rushing westward gradually decreased. Another major factor we are looking for for the destruction of Xiye Kingdom is the diversion of the ancient river.
According to Hua Jianguo's request, I shoveled every 170 meters, hitting the end with each shovel. When I got tired, I replaced my fourth brother, and Liu Xin stayed at the base camp. Responsible for statistical analysis of data, and communicating with me and my fourth brother every hour.
Finally on the second day we dug out sand with high salt content and saline-alkali soil, which was evidence of ancient river channels.
"This is too easy," the fourth brother said arrogantly as he looked at Liu Xin who was analyzing the soil. Not surprisingly, he was beaten again by Liu Xin.
"Easy. Do you know how difficult the preliminary work is? Do you know how much technology was used to get this rough coordinate this time? Do you know that even satellite technology was used? We just came up to pick up the leaks after the cannons were blown up by the two armies. of."
After being ridiculed by Liu Xin for a while, the fourth brother stopped talking. He just quietly observed Liu Xin with his eyes. . Just looking at it, as if enjoying it.
In the evening, we were ready to roughly lock the flow direction of the ancient river. Based on the analysis of historical documents, we are now traveling 300 kilometers westward along the ancient river. Then the vast desert nearby is our working area. How deep is Xiye Kingdom buried by the yellow sand, and how much is left that has been destroyed by nature. No one knows this. Whether we can find it or not depends on our luck.
Liu Xin told us at night that we only had 2 days left. Regardless of whether you find it or not, you must return the same way you came. Otherwise we will run out of ammunition and become a grain of sand in the vast desert.
At this moment, suddenly, a gust of wind suddenly rose between the sky and the earth. We all have a sense of foreboding. "What do you see over there?" Fourth Brother shouted looking into the distance.
We saw a wall of sand connecting the sky, pushing towards us like a tsunami.
"Quick, point the front of the car in the direction of the wind. Did you do a rocking car when you were a kid? Drive the car five meters and then back down five meters. Don't stop for a second."
Even the chatty fourth brother stopped talking at this time. We quickly got in the car. Aim the front of the car at the sand wall and start moving.
About a quarter of an hour later, after the first strongest wave of wind passed, we got out of the car and started rescuing supplies.
Suddenly Liu Xin punched backwards! I was so scared that I got into it completely.
"What's wrong? Is it haunted?" The fourth brother hugged the front of the car and did not dare to move.
The whole earth was ringing with rumbling war drums at this moment, as if Yin soldiers were taking advantage of the passage. There were shouts of death and cries and howls all around us.
"What's going on? Are the Yin soldiers taking advantage of this?" The fourth brother couldn't stand it anymore. Suddenly the wind blew a small stone and hit him in the butt.
"Ah!!!! It's really the Yin soldiers who took advantage of it. Run quickly." The fourth brother ran towards the sand dune regardless.
"Come back!!" No matter how Liu Xin shouted, the fourth brother had no intention of stopping.
Suddenly, a uniform roar of "Hey Tasina!!" suddenly sounded around us. Liu Xin and I didn't care so much and hurriedly chased the fourth brother. When the fourth brother climbed down the hill, we saw an amazing scene. I saw skeleton soldiers lined up neatly under the sand dunes!
When the fourth brother fell, he was already unconscious. Liu Xin and I couldn't carry him over, so we put him beside us. I took courage and went over to check the rows of skeleton soldiers. Every soldier had already lost his strength. Skeletons, clad in tattered armor, each one incomplete. The leader of the general has a strand of long hair floating behind his skull like a flag, and a helmet hangs around his waist. It seems that the shape is not an object from the Central Plains!
I looked like Liu Xin was waving excitedly, it seems we have found it. Liu Xin came over and said, "Look," I found that the general was holding a metal round pass in his hand. When he opened it, there was a roll of parchment inside. Liu Xin took out her mobile phone and struggled to take pictures against the wind and sand. Within a few minutes, the parchment turned into a handful of debris and disappeared between heaven and earth. I had just collected a few weapons and items that could be taken down. Suddenly, "Go quickly! Look at your legs." Liu Xin shouted to me anxiously. I lowered my head and saw that the yellow sand had already buried my calves. , at this time the wind and sand became larger again. Looking again, the fourth brother only has one nostril left outside. Liu Xin and I tried our best to drag him out and ran away desperately. When the wind and sand stopped, I looked over and saw the shadow of the skeleton soldiers. There are only stretches of continuous sand dunes.
Go back and check the equipment. More than half of the vehicle was buried, and after some digging, the door could be opened.
After giving the fourth brother some water and pinching him for a while, the guy woke up with a stagger. It turned out that when he saw the skeleton soldiers, he really thought they were Yin soldiers taking advantage of him, and he fainted from fright.
After saying this, Liu Xin contacted Hua Jianguo and gave him a report on the situation he encountered. And the pictures he took were sent to Hua Jianguo via satellite phone MMS.
"Dig hard before the order arrives." Liu Xin looked at us and said helplessly.
We could only use a shovel to start digging bit by bit. After digging out the car body, I sat slumped on the desert. Fortunately, the water was in the car, otherwise we might really have died here.
My fourth brother and I had no strength at all, so we lay under the car to avoid the harsh sun. After a while. The order came. (Short message)
One paragraph is a translation of the parchment, which reads: We will defend to the death! God is with us! God's power strikes fear into your enemies! An army of the undead fights for the king! And we will join in the fun!
God bless you forever! The sun god is always great! Luna is always great! war!
The second paragraph is Hua Jianguo’s analysis. What we experienced was not that the Yin soldiers took advantage of the situation, but that there was a huge magnet near us, which acted as a tape recorder, recording the sounds of the battlefield at that time, and then playing them back when the weather was abnormal.
The skeleton soldiers we saw should be the soldiers of Xiye Kingdom, which means that the royal tomb is near us, and we hope we can speed up the progress.
"Hurry up, grandma, if you have the guts, let me try it myself," the fourth brother said in an aura.
"Don't forget what we are here for!" Liu Xin disdained to pay attention to him.
After arranging the supplies, I carried the detector, Liu Xin held the tools, and my fourth brother was stationed at the camp. We officially started construction.
After repeated detections, the detector showed no response at all. We estimated that there was magnetic field interference in the nearby ground, causing the detector to malfunction. We took out the compass, and sure enough, the compass also malfunctioned.
We decided to use the dunes of the skeleton soldiers as a benchmark to explore the surrounding area. The range is set within 800 meters, the small dunes are a few meters high, and the large ones are tens of meters high. We could only probe along the lowest of the two dunes.
After just detecting for a while, Liu Xin looked at his watch and said, "The satellite will pass over the top in a while, and I will be responsible for reporting the data reception signal. Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhou."
I looked at her squirming back. Is it possible for me to do this with hard work alone?
After searching for a long time, there were no clues. We return to base camp. The fourth brother said, "I think I'll go back soon. There's still the last day tomorrow. Don't tell me you're here then."
To be honest, I have no confidence in this vast desert. No Feng Shui techniques are used at all. Even if it can be used, why should the people of Xiye Kingdom use your Middle-earth Feng Shui skills to bury their own king? Are you familiar with the Sun God, the Moon God, and Fuxi Nvshua?
After thinking for a long time, I suddenly stared at my fourth brother and said, how about we invite a ghost again?
The fourth brother looked at me and said, "Are you crazy? Is that reliable? Where can you find chicken blood? Where can you find those materials?"
"Those are auxiliary materials. In fact, I don't think they are the most important. Trust me, you can just play around if you have nothing to do."
The fourth brother nodded with difficulty.
I went to Liu Xin and explained my thoughts. Anyway, it will be a while before the next satellite passes over the top. Would you like to try this?
Liu Xin didn't even want to look at us and said, "You can play whatever you want."
I shamelessly bought a strand of Liu Xin's hair for 10,000 strands.
