Section 202: The Death of Pengamu

We all finally said goodbye to the thrilling big lake monster, calmed down, strode meteors in the desert, Xiao Fei and I had nothing to do, whispering, talking endlessly, looking at the white bones, I couldn't help but think of a famous, well-known figure for women and children, that is the name of Pengamu.

He was born in 1925 and died on June 17, 1980, formerly known as Peng Jiamu, a native of Panyu, Guangdong.

He graduated from the College of Agriculture of Central University in 1947 and served as the vice president of the Xinjiang Academy of Sciences in 1979.

His disappearance was really a sensation and became the talk of people after tea and dinner for a long time. Several of his expeditions were on a major national mission.

The results of his research are very important for the country, including nuclear energy, humanities, texture, botany and plant toxins, which shows that the country has foreseen the importance of nuclear energy, mineral energy, and biological warfare in the future world.

As a result, the state launched four large-scale searches after his disappearance. Xiao Fei said with great interest: "I am also very interested in this matter, his death is indeed very strange and bizarre. Some people say that the mysterious disappearance of the famous scientist Pengamu in Lop Nur is deservedly selected as one of the world's top 10 mysteries in the 20 th century, because it is the most suspenseful, the most shocking, and the most incredible! To this day, there are still many doubts about Pengamu's disappearance. What was the purpose of Pengamu's trip to Lop Nur? How did he disappear? Why did the disappearance of an ordinary scientist cause the government to send more than a dozen planes, dozens of cars, and thousands of people to search for him? In 1979, he served as the vice president of the Xinjiang Academy of Sciences, and he went to Xinjiang 15 times to conduct scientific investigations, and entered Bayingolin Lop Nur three times for exploration, and at 10 a.m. on June 17, 1980, the expedition team camped near Kumu Kuduk. After going deeper into Lop Nur for more than a month, there was not much gasoline and water left. In order to solve this difficulty, continue to investigate the east, he went out alone to look for water and went to the depths of the desert to find water, Pengamu left a - I went to find a note for water and disappeared, and his body has not been found since then, it does feel a little unbelievable, incredible, everyone is alive, why he can't survive alone, for his disappearance, there have been various theories and speculations in the country. Over the years, the government and the private sector have launched several searches, but to no avail. Awarded to him by the Shanghai Municipal People's Government

The glorious title of "revolutionary martyr". His body has never been found. There have been various theories and speculations about his disappearance throughout the country.

Over the years, the government and the private sector have launched several searches, but to no avail. At the beginning of November 1980, in accordance with the instructions of the party group of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in order to quell the rumors and turmoil in society, the state sent more than a dozen planes, dozens of cars, and thousands of people to search for Comrade Peng Jiamu on four occasions.

The contingent that entered Lop Nur for the fourth time was composed of eight units, including the Xinjiang Branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the 5th Independent Regiment of the Xinjiang Military Region, the Signal Corps, the 56th Automobile Regiment, and the Lanzhou 407 Unit.

From November 10 when the team entered the Lop Nur area from Dunhuang to December 20, a total of 41 days.

The search area is centered on the camp before the disappearance of Comrade Pengamu - Kumu Kuduk and the place where the footprints disappeared, along the old road of the Shule River, 6 kilometers west of Tuya in the west, and 10~20 kilometers wide from north to south in the east, with a total search area of 1,011 square kilometers, and 1,029 people directly participated in the search, with an average of nearly 1 square kilometer per person per day.

The fourth search was carried out in four phases: the first began on the northeast side of the place where the Pengamu footprints had disappeared

The area west of the "Bayi Well" is searched for 3 days, and the second stage is the north and northwest of the place where the footprints disappeared, that is, from

"Red Yachi" arrived

The search for 7 days in the area of the "Red 10 Wells", the third stage is to the south and southwest of the place where the footprints have disappeared, that is, from Kumu Kuduk to 6 km west and 10 km east of Tuya, and the fourth stage is to the east and southeast of the place where the footprints have disappeared, that is, from Yangtak Kuduk to Koshkuduk, to search for 12 days, but in the end nothing has been found.

The first time was from March 5 to March 30, 1964, when Peng Jiamu and several scientists circled Lop Nur for a week, collected water samples and mineral samples, and made a preliminary study on the potassium content in the water of the three rivers (Tarim River, Peacock River, and Cherchen River) that flowed into Lop Nur at that time.

Heavy water is an indispensable substance for the production of nuclear energy, and in the sixties our country had to spend a lot of foreign exchange to buy it.

Since the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the whole world has seen the power of nuclear weapons, and nuclear energy has been one of the technical difficulties that the country needs to overcome, which is of great strategic importance for the future of the country.

The second expedition was on November 15 and December 20, 1979, with the approval of the State Council, the Chinese and Japanese television stations formed a "Silk Road" film crew, went to Lop Nur for on-the-spot shooting, hired Peng Jiamu as a consultant, and went to Lop Nur in advance to conduct a detailed scientific investigation, he said that he Peng Jiamu had the courage to step out of the wilderness, and he wanted to regain the right to speak on Lop Nur for the motherland and the people.

This trip has achieved many remarkable scientific research results and found many rare treasures for the country. This scientific expedition and excavation filled the gaps in some major scientific research fields in China and corrected some fallacies of foreign explorers.

After the scientific investigation, he found the road from the ancient cemetery and Xingdi Mountain to Loulan for the Chinese and Japanese film crews, and re-walked the middle section of the Silk Road from Loulan around Lop Nur to Ruoqiang.

The third time was from May 8 to June 17, 1980, he served as the leader of the scientific expedition of Lop Nur in China, and crossed the Lop Nur Lake Basin for the first time with a total length of 450 kilometers, because before 1972 it was a water town Zeguo, no one could cross, and collected many biological and soil specimens in the lake basin, collected many mineral fossils, collected a lot of first-hand scientific research data, and made forward-looking preparations for the comprehensive development of Lop Nur in China, which can be said to be indispensable.

However, it is very unfortunate that such a great scientist has mysteriously disappeared in Lop Nur, and even the body is nowhere to be found.

In the end, everyone had no choice but to admit that this great scientist had turned into Rob's soul. But in terms of scientific research contributions, the value of a scientist like Peng Jiamu to the country, it is no exaggeration to say that it is really worth a division, an army, or even more, what a pity, what a loss to our country by such an outstanding talent, it is really jealous of the talent, died young, it is really impermanent, life is fragile, life and death are in the sky, wealth and fortune have fate, can only be resigned to fate, hey, life is short, floating clouds and dogs, fleeting, life is really not much meaning. I was full of praise and said, "What a great scientist Pengamu is, what a pity, it seems that his death will always be a mystery, and only this boundless desert knows how to cherish it." But you don't have to sigh like this, since life is impermanent, life is short, why not grasp every day at the moment, and live every day wonderfully, so that you will die without regrets, no regrets, countless fragments of life are pieced together, that is, a complete and splendid life. But the process of life is always beautiful, you can feel the world, you can feel love, it is better than you being a tree, being a stone, you can also perceive the process of life. ”..
