Volume 1 Chapter 109: Gathering in the Desert

This remote town will be particularly lively at this time of year, watching all kinds of modified and unmodified, imported and domestic, SUVs, off-road, RVs, and even sedans are winding along the desert road, Xing Yu took out his GPS and looked at the destination coordinates, there are more than 20 kilometers, walking slowly. Impatiently, he kept honking in the car.

"Xing Yu, don't you have the coordinates? Can we drive around the sand beam from the side?" The restless Fei Long saw that the desert was already hungry and thirsty, and he wanted to rush into the desert now.

"I took a look, we have to run at least more than 50 kilometers around it, and some high-sand areas are not suitable for some new friends in the team. Xing Yu explained helplessly.

"Who said we can't do it, you can go, we can go, my hands are all right, and others are even more fine. "The owner of the broken car on the road spoke, this is the oldest car on this trip, and it is also a car in relatively poor condition.

After consulting everyone's opinions, Xing Yu found a section of the roadbed with a slower roadbed and drove down directly, and when the convoy all got off the road, Xing Yu said in the platform: "Get off the car and deflate, hang the four-wheel drive, straighten the fishing rod, and plant a good flag......." ”

The best effect of desert driving is to let the traction of the car be transmitted to the surface of the sand to produce a maximum value, this value is determined by the ground contact area of the tire, what kind of tire pattern is used here to play a small role, some people think that the use of large patterns, such as mud tires, this is actually a misunderstanding.

Tires with large patterns have a smaller contact area and are easy to throw sand, causing the vehicle to sink deeper and deeper......

Theoretically, slick tires, that is, tires with small patterns, have better desert driving performance after reducing air pressure, while tire pressure is usually between 0.6-1.8 atmospheres.

In addition to Baja racing, when other vehicles enter the desert, it is also necessary to choose four-wheel drive, as for whether it is high-speed four-wheel drive, or low-speed four-wheel drive, it also depends on the situation, generally not trapped, high-speed four-wheel drive is absolutely enough.

The flagpole is the most conspicuous symbol in this undulating desert, mainly to keep other vehicles away from you in time.

Each car in the team is equipped with an old driver, and everyone is familiar with this little thing, and it was completed quickly.

"Wei Xiao, Ma Duo, both of you buckle up, no one here can say what accidents there are, close the windows, let's turn on the air conditioner to circulate, so as to prevent the wind and sand from entering the car, Wei Xiao, what I say in a while, you can say something through the walkie-talkie, what to say to the back, don't say the wrong thing." Xing Yu said after getting into the car.

"Why are you so troublesome, I see. Wei Xiao was busy taking pictures with Ma Duo, and didn't pay much attention to what Xing Yu said.

The old rule is that after the vehicle starts slightly, it accelerates directly, and the sand beam on the side is followed by a shabu first.

The inclined vehicle, although there was no stimulation from the slope, but it also made Wei Xiao lose control of his body all of a sudden, the mobile phone flew out directly, and the horse behind was even worse, she didn't wear a seat belt, and fell directly between the two satsumas......

"Xing Yu!! you absolutely deliberate!!" Ma Duo's piercing scream sounded.

Wei Xiao, the first thing he did when he lowered his head and picked up the phone was to pinch Xing Yu hard.

"Driving, let go, it's dangerous. Xing Yu just shook the small sand beam, just to remind the two beauties in the car that this is already a desert area, we must pay attention to safety, in the face of nature, we still need a heart of awe, don't think about conquering.

Soon the news of reporting safety and keeping up came from the walkie-talkie, Xing Yu glanced at the GPS, selected the general direction and began to accelerate.

It is not yet at the base camp, and the equipment is still being pulled in the car, but fortunately, the gas tank or something is not in the vanguard team, otherwise Xing Yu would not have the courage to pull the bomb to challenge the desert.

Considering that everyone's vehicles are fully loaded, Xing Yu still chose a relatively flat road, and the strength of Garmin 650T is also revealed, and the information ahead can be judged at an earlier time......

Fei Long couldn't stand the current speed, Wu Shimo was not there, no one could take care of it, so he directly began to accelerate continuously, walking around the convoy, Xing Yu said a few times, he didn't listen, so he had to let it go.

After running for about half an hour, there was a section of high sand area, when Xing Yu reminded the vehicles behind him to pay attention to safety, he heard the sound of electricity coming from the platform, "Yes, the township party of Shaanxi, rescue ......"

There is no signal on the mobile phone here, and can only rely on the car radio to communicate, hearing a message for help, Xing Yu is ready to take a look, after notifying the team, Xing Yu drove the vehicle up the high slope in one direction, and Wei Xiao, who was sharp-eyed, soon found that a car was stuck on the sand beam in the distance.

After confirming the direction, Xing Yu drove over, the closer the distance, the clearer the radio sound, they are all enthusiasts, and they are still the township party, although Xing Yu sold the rescue APP, but when he met it, he still wanted to help.

Soon drove not far from the fallen vehicle, Xing Yu asked the others to rest nearby, and drove himself to help first......

"Man, what's wrong with the car?" Xing Yu asked through the platform.

"It's the bottom, you can help pull it!" the other party said in an eager tone.

"Wait a minute, I'll find a safe location. Xing Yu continued.

The opponent's car is at the top of the slope, the rescue position is very important, choose to pull downhill, after the opponent's vehicle is out of trouble, it is easy to crash if you do not brake in time, and it is easy to cause rollover if you choose side rescue......

Xing Yu ran around the other party's vehicle, decided to stop in front of the car, and pulled it up with a winch, so that as long as the owner could step on the brakes in time, it would not be a big problem.

"Man, you come down and pull the winch over. "Xing Yu is no longer the boy who can run in the desert when he was young, at a distance of dozens of meters, Xing Yu doesn't want to go anymore, and then walk over to hang up the hook, and walk back to control the winch, it's really unnecessary.

"What are you doing, you rescued me, I gave you money, so hot I don't want to go down......" Hearing such a voice on the walkie-talkie, Xing Yu suddenly became angry, did I say to take your money?

Bowed his head and said nothing, directly put away the winch, Xing Yu got in the car and left. Seeing Xing Yu go away, the other party was anxious, "I gave the money, what are you going to do?"

"Is it richer? Your car, dozens of new ones are being sold in my store, who are you going to be the uncle? Xing Yu returned unceremoniously.

"In your next life, I'll go to your shop and buy ten cars, who can save me from here. The other party was no longer tough, and said softly.

"I have a shovel, you can come down and dig some sand, I don't want your money, just tell you, money is not everything. "Xing Yu looked at the other party's situation in detail when he looked around the car just now, that is, he was sucked by the sand on the chassis, and when he dug up the sand under the chassis, it was easy to get out of trouble.

"Well, I'll take a tent with me, and nothing else. The afterlife has done me a favor. ”

After getting out of the car and taking out the shovel from the back box, Xing Yu began to see the driver who was stuck in the car for the first time, wearing a Columbian jacket, a big sunglasses, and a cowboy hat.

Xing Yu threw down the shovel and commanded: "You just dig the sand from the chassis and expose the gap." ”

Seeing that the other party had a belly bigger than himself, he dug there for a long time, but it had no effect at all, Xing Yu grabbed the shovel three times and divided five by two to dig up the gap, because the sand is very soft, you will turn it upside down when you dig it, and you don't have to dig everywhere in the desert, as long as you dig in the middle and shovel the sand behind you, both sides will naturally fall down......

"Okay, you can open it, there will be no problem. After digging, he wiped a handful of sweat before Xing Yu said.

"Can you help me drive, I just came up and saw that this side is a steep slope, and I can't drive even if I step on the brakes......" The driver said with palpitations.

"Haven't you been there?" Xing Yu asked rhetorically.

"I've been there, but I heard that it's fun here, I was on the road, and I saw that everyone else ran from below, and I saw that a 2700 ran away, and I thought mine was fine......" The driver said with some regret.

"Forget it, I'll drive it, there are people in our team, find someone else to drive it for you, you still don't want to be a hero in the desert with this skill." Xing Yu said helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you the money. When the visitor heard Xing Yu say this, he shouted happily.

"When you are raising money, you can drive it yourself, we are all out to play, all beings are equal in a desperate situation, and there is no humanity above 6,000 above sea level. ”

All beings are equal in a desperate situation, and there is no humanity above 6,000 altitudes. It's a cruel sentence, but it's true, in the fall of no man's land, no matter how much money you have, it's useless, when you climb the peak, you fall more than 6,000 meters and no one will help you.

This is not the selfishness of human nature, nor is it indifference to life, but a choice that is forced to be helpless in a bad environment. In a dangerous environment, one should not be morally constrained to do things that do not outweigh the losses, even putting one's own life into it.

"Thief, Xing Yu, don't run away yet, come back and help me pull out the insurance, this guy's airbag hasn't been lifted yet." The companion who had just driven into the car walked less than 200 meters and shouted through the walkie-talkie.

"Eh, it's really tiring to take a novice, I guess I can turn on everything with anti-side slipping, I don't know how I have the courage to drive in......" Xing Yu sighed to Wei Xiao and said.

For the sake of safety, everyone had to continue to park, Xing Yu walked to the domineering car and opened the hood to unplug the insurance.

"What are you doing? Isn't it fatal to turn off the airbag?" Lao Liu, the owner of the Toyota Prado car he had just met, couldn't help but ask when he saw Xing Yu doing this.

"When the vehicle is bumped and jumped in the desert, the airbag may be mistaken for the time to pop out, and it is okay to be scared, but it may also be injured by mistake, you see my teeth are knocked out by the airbag, and the airbag is filled with explosives, and if you explode the airbag, it will seriously affect the price if you want to sell it in the future." Xing Yu gritted his teeth and explained.

"Also, there is an anti-roll switch in your car, which will be turned off after a while, which is the ESP, which can ensure the safe driving of the vehicle when driving on the road, especially when turning, and plays a role in correcting the steering. However, in the desert, if the ESP intervenes to correct the steering difference during steering, it will not only lose power but also easily cause accidents. Especially when the vehicle needs to slide sideways, the intervention of the ESP is more likely to induce rollover accidents, so in the desert, it is often necessary to turn off the ESP system and rely on manpower and experience to control the vehicle steering. ”

"Great God, when I go back, I'll go to play with you, we came out this time, and when we got to the desert, we got rid of me, and I won't contact them in the future. Lao Liu said with a twinkle in his eyes when he heard Xing Yu's professional explanation.

The Gaosha area is a little bit, and the road after that is relatively stable, Lao Liu opened it by himself, and he has the most along the way.

On the 50-kilometer road, Xing Yu and a few people ran for more than two hours, and when they arrived at the camp, Wu Shimo and they had already returned from purchasing. Behind the traffic jam, there are people from the organizing committee who cooperate with the local traffic police to coordinate, and it will soon be unimpeded, but many people who take a detour will not delay time, and there will be many accidents.

Wu Shimo grabbed Xing Yu and Fei Long for a half-hour safety education class, Lao Liu originally wanted to find his camp, but when he saw that there was a marching tent here, and all kinds of melons, fruits, vegetables, meat, and natural gas stoves, he didn't want to leave at that time.

"What are you doing, you told me that you want to come to endure hardships, we specially brought instant noodles, ham sausages, bread and dry food, look at what you prepared, I won't go over there, I will give you more money, take us in." ”

Wu Shimo is a good man, originally for the gathering of friends, he prepared more ingredients, and there were new friends to join, he had no opinion, and said that there was no need to add more money, just normal AA.

It's easy to tell the rookies and veterans who come to the party. You don't attract attention when you drive a million-dollar off-road vehicle, where the 10 million yuan Happy Bus RV is parked, and all kinds of original multi-million dollar BAJA racing cars are speeding on the side of the road.

Celebrities and businessmen from all walks of life are dangling here, and all kinds of compulsions are bursting. Famous cars and luxury cars, you drive a 100,000 Range Rover, Mercedes-Benz big G, not as good as those who drive hundreds of thousands of Toyota LC76/71, attracting attention.

If you drive a boxy, dull-looking, shabby pickup version of the LC79, with two PIAA headlights at the front, a Vaughan winch with nylon rope, a rooftop tent, a spare oil drum hanging on the back, a small inconspicuous National Geographic word sticker, and all kinds of off-road vehicle rally labels, you are the brightest boy in the desert.

Like the old brother in the team this time, buying a pencil case is a vigorous and thrilling pretending event.

First of all, disdain for all Mercedes-Benz BMW Mercedes-Benz. When encountering this kind of car owner, he said that too much electronic system intervenes in the technical factors of human nature, the response of the electronic throttle is not as direct and accurate as before, and the intelligent four-wheel drive system is far less enjoyable than the transfer case 3 times the power amplification, etc.

Generally speaking, the other party here has a dull look at him at this time, he will hold his sunglasses, snuff out the cigarette, and casually talk about the experience of entering Tibet three or four times, the story of five or six desert crossings, and the danger of overturning seven or eight times.

When the conversation is over, you must look at his back and do something thoughtfully, and tell the Cherokee female co-pilot he was carrying melancholy: "This is a sadness." Then he started the fire, stepped on the clutch gear, and started in one go, raising up the sand and dust and disappearing into the desert under the sunset......

Even Xing Yu's pickup truck was plastered with stickers of previous gatherings such as Weng Niute, Chinese New Year's Eve Mingsha, Kubuqi, Chongli, etc.

"It's boring now, you see the car can drive in, there are too many people, when we used to attend the party, we had to run dozens of kilometers of desert to pull water, now the base camp provides drinking water, if you come a few years ago, it's useless to bring money, no one provides you with food and drink, it seems like there are food streets there now." Xing Yu took off his sunglasses and said to Lao Liu......

"Whatever it is, I'll join up in your camp, and I'll treat you to a big meal when I go back, I don't want to go to them to cook instant noodles to eat. Lao Liu looked at Wu Shimo with blank eyes and said.

Zhang Shengli, who arrived early, was the best seller of pencil cases, occupied a large piece of open space, and directly set up a white tent of about 100 square meters, which is said to have been picked up from the army during the construction of the high-speed railway.

The average person's tent is at most two meters high, but his height is close to three meters, and it is divided into a dining area and a accommodation area, which is instantly full.

That is, a local tyrant like Zhang Shengli, the 16.5-meter trailer that was originally good was directly replaced by a 16-meter commercial vehicle transportation cage car. In addition to racing cars and Xing Yu's commercial cars, it is to pull these equipment.

After setting up their tents and building a canopy together, Xing Yu hurriedly drove the two Wranglers to be sold and the UTV that they had transported together to the camp.

"This little bouncing is not worth much, right?" Lao Liu asked when he saw the UTV and didn't know the goods.

"I'll take you to a friend's place later, you ask the price, this car will give me face for 200,000 yuan. Xing Yu gave him a blank look and said.

"Thief, what is this, so expensive?" Lao Liu shook his head in disbelief......

Now there is a special signal tower in the base camp, although the call is still intermittent, but it can finally be connected, I called, a customer has come over, I have been waiting for Xing Yu to arrive, to trade, and there is a customer who wants to arrive at night and pick up the car tomorrow morning.

After all, the party is located near the center of the motherland, and there are too many people who want to come to participate in this day, and many rich people don't have time to drive over by themselves, so they want to buy a local car first, play for three or four days, drive back directly, or sell it again.

These two customers were introduced by others, and they received the car payment early, went through the procedures, and waited for the owner to come and see, as for why he chose to trade here, Xing Yu also planned to advertise his company.

Crackling set off a firecracker, before he had time to politely retain the customer for a meal, people ran off with one foot on the accelerator, he has been here for a day, greedy to see this other person speeding in the desert, has long been unable to bear it, get the first thing to get the car, just ready to go to the small sinkhole to play around......

"Daughter-in-law, am I handsome when I took the picture just now? Xing Yu pulled Wei Xiao, who wanted to take pictures somewhere else, and explained.

"No, you send it yourself, I still want to play. Wei Xiao said reluctantly.

"Well, I'll drive you to the business district in a while, where there are a lot of beautiful cars for you to take pictures. I'll take you there when I have another business to talk about. Xing Yu touched Wei Xiao's head and said.

There are a lot of acquaintances from all over the country, Xing Yu has brought a lot of cans and beers from his hometown in addition to equipment, just to meet these old acquaintances, contact their feelings, and facilitate continued cooperation in the future......

After a few days of drinking, Xing Yu drove the UTV, and no matter what overload, he directly pulled Wei Xiao and Ma Duo and went to the business district to play......

"I developed this rescue software and later sold it to this company. Xing Yu pulled Lao Liu into the temporary exhibition hall of this professional network company, where all kinds of rescue equipment were dazzling, and dozens of employees wearing customized T-shirts were interspersed.

Seeing the two people in charge, they punched each other. "Big companies just have the strength, and now so many people are trying to publicize it, let me do it myself, but I don't have the strength. Xing Yu quipped.

"Come on, we've been burning money now, and we can't see any return, I read your information before, and you have a new idea............?

In front of Lao Liu and Wei Xiao, Xing Yu earned enough face, most of the merchants here know and cooperate, along the way, what others don't send has also been sent, and others have not allowed them to take photos......

Walking to the edge is a business specializing in selling UTVs, Xing Yu has talked about agents a few times before, and has also intermediated two customers, and when we meet here, it is inevitable to talk about it.

"Edi God, there are more than 500,000 in this jump?" Lao Liu asked when he saw a racing version of the UTV.

"If you think about it, it's not uncommon to have millions. Xing Yu didn't have time to speak, Wei Xiao spoke.

"This is a brother and sister, worthy of being your daughter-in-law, a heroine among women, and women don't let their eyebrows go. The UTV boss asked.

Mayor Liu laughed, she didn't understand anything. "The main domestic sales of imported UTVs, whether Bombardier, Polaris or Yamaha, is mainly the agent of this company, the company's name is Racing Town, usually good relations, all enthusiastically call their boss Mayor Liu.

"Brother and sister, do you want to try it? This is the new Lone Ranger, much more powerful than your Commander. Mayor Liu said politely.

Xing Yu was just about to refuse, but Wei Xiao had already launched it directly. "Try it...... I'm not afraid. ”

"Then you drive slower, there are a lot of cars here. Xing Yu said uneasily.

"Salty and don't worry about eating radish, let you see that I will ......drift too," Wei Xiao said, tying an Qun belt.

"It's okay, there's open space in the back, and we're going to test it. Mayor Liu waved his hand and said.

Wei Xiao was very bold, when Xing Yu first taught her to drive, she directly kicked the accelerator and received the first chapter of Xing Yu's speeding ticket.

Only gave Wei Xiao the low-speed key, for fear that she would have any accidents, Ma Duo directly grabbed the co-pilot's seat, put on the helmet and directly threw Xing Yu aside.

Watching Wei Xiao gallop towards the venue, Xing Yu felt his heart be pinched and kept praying. Watching her make a smooth turn, her speed decreased, and she was just about to vent her breath when she saw the vehicle tumbling down the sandy slope......
