At one o'clock in the afternoon, the car entered the sand.

Before entering the sand, each car is hung with a small red flag that is easy to identify in the desert.

The Tengger Desert is the size of seven magic cities, and most of them are mobile sand dunes.

Soon after entering, all mobile phones ran out of signal, but Zhang Wei had a satellite phone in his car, and everyone's walkie-talkie could be used.

In recent years, the infrastructure construction of the motherland is really amazing, and the first dozens of kilometers into the desert have been running on a very flat asphalt road, and after arriving at the destination, everyone took the initiative to leave the hardened road.

After leaving the hardened road, first deflate the tires.

Zhang Wei's car has an inflatable device, and when he leaves the sand area, he needs to inflate it again.

After deflating, the contact area between the sand tire and the sand increases a lot, and it is not easy to sag.

No matter how good the car is, as soon as it enters the sand area, it gives people a feeling of unsteadyness, and the wheels will obviously be a little difficult to control, and there will be a feeling of slippage and difficult to control.

In this place, if you step on the accelerator as soon as you come up, you can directly dig a pit and leave your car in place if you don't control it well.

This unstable and unsteady feeling can stimulate people's adrenaline, which has also become the fun of driving in the desert.

In the evening, everyone stayed with a herdsman who had made an appointment.

There are a lot of places to stay here, and many people come to play and live here every year during this season.

After eating, some people felt tired, so they went back to rest, Bai Song made an appointment with Xinqiao, left here, and walked into the desert.

The sand had cooled down, and Bai Song specially wore a coat and brought one to Xinqiao.

Probably few people know how beautiful the starry sky of the desert is.

There were no clouds, no light pollution, and the Milky Way fell into the sky so clearly.

"How do you feel?" Xinqiao looked around: "Don't go too far, there's nothing around here, it's weird and scary." ”

"That's it. "White Pine found a sand dune top and sprinkled things around.

"Brimstone?" Xinqiao smelled uncomfortable.

"Know the goods!" Bai Song said: "I prepared a lot before coming, it is said that there are Alxa pit pit vipers, flower snakes, oriental sand pythons, red sand pythons, chess spotted water..."

"Stop, stop, why did you call me over?" Xinqiao panicked when he heard these names.

"Nothing else, come, look up. Bai Song pointed to it.

"Look up?" Xinqiao raised his head and looked at the starry sky, looking at it for a full twenty seconds: "This... It's really different from Shangjing... It turns out that the universe is like this!"

After saying that, Xinqiao's mood got better for some reason.

"The stars are beautiful everywhere~" Bai Song felt very happy at this moment.

Living in the steel forest for a long time, due to severe light pollution, there are no stars at all.

There was once an oolong incident in Jianguo, a large city on the west coast, suddenly and unexpectedly without electricity.

After the power outage, the whole city was pitch black, and people who had lived here for many years suddenly saw many bright spots in the sky flashing one by one, so many people called the police, saying that they saw alien UFOs attacking the earth.

"It's so beautiful", Xinqiao leaned closer to Bai Song: "Look at these, sometimes I feel that we are so tired all day long, it is better to find a small town to live for a lifetime." ”

"I'm willing", Bai Song smiled: "Starlight and lights, whichever you like, we'll choose whichever you like." ”

"You're not going to go?" Xinqiao asked.

"My path has always been for you. ”

"Where did you learn so many earthy love words? Xinqiao didn't eat this: "Could it be that Wang Liang told you again." ”

"I will never listen to Wang Liang again in this life. Bai Song shook his head: "What I said is true." ”

"You, after you go back, you will be the same, combining work and rest, it is difficult to go to Beijing, and you don't necessarily have to come over. Xinqiao said: "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. ”

"People like me..."Bai Song suddenly felt very comfortable: "Although I can't save this world like Stanislav Petrov, I will definitely leave something in this world." ”

...

The next day.

Today's plan is a little crazier than yesterday's, and I plan to continue to go deeper, from here, through dozens of kilometers in one go, to another unpaved road.

It is a seldom-walked unpaved road, built many years ago with stones and desert sand, and I heard that the scenery is particularly beautiful, and there are many desert plants.

The desert area is a benefit, basically do not need to look at the weather forecast, it must be sunny, this road everyone consulted the innkeeper here, said that there is no problem, everyone set off.

Desert driving is not fast and there are a lot of tricks. The tire pressure is half of the normal situation, cut the second to third gear of the manual transmission, continue to refuel uphill, loosen the throttle at the top of the slope, refuel properly downhill, and do not release the throttle throughout the whole process, once the car is trapped, you can not continue to step on the throttle.

In addition, because everyone is a novice, try to avoid the back of the big crucian carp and the blade slope, and the psychological quality should be good.

The more challenging the road, the more fun there is.

On the way, Wang Huadong's car experienced a crash and used an inflatable jack, which was still dangerous.

On the hardened unpaved pavement, everyone has a feeling of being reborn after a catastrophe.

That's an exaggeration, but it's true. Driving away from the desert and seeing the traces of human civilization is like a long drought.

Because there was only one inflatable pump and sixteen tires, everyone had to rest for a long time to get it done.

"There's a car coming from afar. Bai Song looked at the dust in the distance.

"Let's all get in the car, or as soon as they pass by, we'll be covered in dirt." Zhang Wei said: "This road is also relatively wide, they will pass first, let's pack up and set off directly." ”

"Good. Bai Song looked at the time, it was the hottest time at noon, he cleaned up under the car for a long time to inflate, he was already sweating, and drank a bottle of water in one breath before getting into the car.

The car has been on the air conditioner, and the fuel level is still half, but there is no problem, Bai Song looked at the convoy that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and frowned a little.

Everyone's car has a small red flag, which can be seen from a long distance, and it is clear that there is a convoy camping here, why is it still driving so fast?

After a short time, two old JMC pickup trucks arrived nearby and then began to brake, bringing a lot of sand and dust.

One of them, directly to the front of the convoy, and the other stopped behind.

It's not a good way to say hello.

"Lock the car door, don't get out of the car, the gay man will go down with me to see what's going on, have you encountered a road hijacker?" Bai Song said to everyone on the walkie-talkie radio.

"Bring the guys?" "Everybody had some basic sapper shovels or something.

"Belt. Bai Song said: "Be prepared." ”
