The northwest, the entire northwest of China, can be said to be a truly livable place, and it is the Chasu River Valley. In other places, the altitude is either super high or the sky is full of wind and sand. Once the Spring Festival is over, Guaiguai can’t go out.
Southerners simply can't imagine how terrible the sandstorms here are and how much sand there is. The famous Lanbian Railway is awesome, awesome. It goes through the desert and crosses the Gobi. In the days of construction, it was built by people and horses.
Later, the high-speed train became even more impressive, but in spring, when strong winds blow, the awesome train can be blown over by the wind and sand in the northwest, causing it to overturn! You can imagine how terrible it would be if the train was blown over by the wind!
The scenery of Alam is no different from that of Chasu. The temperature and climate are the same. If all the foreign language roadside billboards were replaced with Chinese characters, they would be tea.
However, the roads here are not good. When Zhang Fan and the others got on an Iveco truck and headed south, they felt that the infrastructure maniac was not free.
Here in Chasu, the highways are as dense as spider webs. When driving on the small plains in the river valleys, you can't see the end of the road at a glance. If there is no traffic police, you can still catch a glimpse.
As for Alam, not long after leaving the urban area of Alam, the road became narrower and narrower. At most, it looked like a Huaguo provincial highway, and the farther south, the bumpier the road became.
Going south is towards the mountains. The temperature also slowly began to drop.
"How long will it take to arrive?" Zhang Fan asked Mr. Wang.
"It will take more than three hours. It will probably be dark everywhere. Why don't you take a nap for a while? Today we will go to our own base first, and then we will go see the leader tomorrow." Mr. Wang looked at his watch and said Zhang Fan explained.
"Can I sleep here? Your company has a big business, why do you still want to save on highway tolls?"
"Hi! My Zhang Yuan, am I a stingy person? This is the best road for others. It is no better than our country. This road was built in the old Maozi era, and now they just repair it. .”
It was so bumpy and it was getting dark. The two security personnel who came with the car, who looked like they were escorting the car, also took out automatic rifles from the bags beside them.
"Don't be nervous, this is for deterrence. Usually nothing happens, but if something happens, just flash your gun, and our car is flying the national flag, so there is usually no danger."
Mr. Wang saw that the expressions of the doctors and nurses in the car changed, and he quickly grabbed the armrest and stood up to explain.
"It's usually fine, but what if it's not normal? Bah! Bah! Bah, children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled," the car became dark, but the voice of the head nurse was heard.
For three hours, I was like a small boat in the waves, and my waist almost swam away from the bumps. The men and women who got off the car held their waists and looked at the huge construction site in front of them.
It was already early in the morning, but the construction site was still brightly lit. Countless incandescent lamps, and even searchlights, like some kind of prison searchlight.
The kowtow machine goes up and down, and the sound of drilling pierces the eardrums. A little further away, there are rows of simple blue construction site buildings. Seeing this familiar scene is like arriving at a construction site in China.
It's just that there are more teams of security guards patrolling with guns.
"The conditions here are poor, so we will make do with it, but safety is absolutely no problem. Let's rest peacefully. Tomorrow we will set off to the leader's tribe."
The goods will die on the ground, and now even if they lay down their bedding and sleep in the open air, there is nothing they can do. Fortunately, there are still simple houses! To be honest, everyone was really tired. After flying and being bumpy for more than three hours, we went into the house to wash up and fell asleep directly.
The noise from the construction site was like a lullaby. When Zhang Fan woke up, it was already dark, and the anesthesiologist in the same room as him was still sleeping with his head covered.
Zhang Fan opened the door and saw that Mr. Wang was already wearing a safety helmet and inspecting work at the base. Zhang Fan looked at his cell phone, but there was no signal. The movement of China has really become immovable here.
Mr. Wang led a group of people and pointed at each place. When he saw Zhang Fan getting up, Mr. Wang seemed to say a few words to the people around him, and then walked towards Zhang Fan.
"How's it going, Zhang Yuan, the conditions here are not good, no rest, okay! Haha, after everyone gets up, we will set off after breakfast."
"Okay, everything is up to you." Zhang Fan smiled. Zhang Fan is also a donkey, and he is easy to talk when he strokes his fur.
After a while, everyone got up. To be honest, I can't stay in bed even if I want to, it's too noisy. After cleaning up, everyone started having breakfast in a blue simple engineering room connected with three or four rooms.
The breakfast of China, especially the breakfast of northerners, is steamed buns with pickles and lumps that cannot escape wherever they go. Because it is close to the border, there is no shortage of Lao Ganma.
After breakfast, everyone got in the car and continued to set off. It's quite quiet in the car. The gap along the way was too great, and everyone was exhausted. From private jets to simple houses on construction sites. It is directly the difference between the top of the mountain and the foot of the mountain.
By this time, the car had entered the mountainous area. The car is walking on a winding road in the mountains, with mountain walls on one side and cliffs on the other. It makes people dizzy just looking at it.
Crossing mountains and ridges, really crossing mountains and ridges. After passing through a mountain range, the scenery suddenly opened up.
Large areas of flat grassland are spread on the plains like green carpets, and streams flow slowly through the green grassland like white Hada.
In the distance, on the top of the gentle slope of the grassland, there is a large white tent. Light smoke floated among the tents. The blue sky, the green grassland, the sheep and the girl grazing on horseback.
Utopia is nothing more than that.
As Zhang Fan's car appeared, a car also appeared in the tent in the distance, heading towards Zhang Fan and the others.
The Chinese buy their raw materials. When these people get rich, they rarely buy Chinese cars. All-purpose meatball cars, especially the Lotus, are very popular.
"They are here to greet us!" Mr. Wang looked at the other party's vehicle and said to Zhang Fan and the others.
"Are we going to get off the car?"
"No, they are familiar with our car. I will show up later and they will guide us there."
Iveco followed DaTuLe and headed towards the hinterland of the grassland. Getting closer and closer, everyone was surprised when they could really see the tent carefully.
This place is like a world of tents, and it's not just any small tent.
They are all super large tents with bases. There are rows of tents. As vehicles enter, shepherd dogs chase the cars and bark, and more and more people watch the excitement.
If the people here don't speak, they are actually no different from the herdsmen of Chasu.
