Originally, the group could only take a train from Mandalay to Myitkyina, but this distance of six or seven hundred kilometers, I am afraid that it will take dozens of hours to run by train, because the speed of trains in Myanmar is still at the level of the fifties and sixties in China. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

So Hu Rong used his connections to transfer a military helicopter from the Myanmar military.

The RV drove directly to a military camp on the outskirts of Mandalay, surrounded by soldiers with guns, Zhuang Rui couldn't help but tighten the bag in his hand, there was still a pistol there, if it was checked out by these soldiers, I don't know what kind of chaos it would cause.

When he looked at Peng Fei beside him, Zhuang Rui calmed down a little, this kid was carrying the slightly worn backpack, looking around with a nonchalant expression, as if the bag was not a bomb, but a candy gift brought to a friend's house.

Zhuang Rui now knows what it means to be a thief, I used to hear that those who broke the law and escaped often couldn't eat and sleep for years or even decades, so Zhuang Rui didn't believe it, but now he realized that although he didn't commit anything, he just loaded a gun in his bag, and he began to feel restless.

Fortunately, from the time he got off the bus to the time he got on the helicopter, no one offered to check the packages of Zhuang Rui and others, which made Zhuang Rui breathe a sigh of relief.

Hu Rong, who followed Zhuang Rui into the helicopter, was holding a fifty or sixty centimeter-long wooden box in his arms, which contained Zhuang Rui's tree-like jade, which he was going to take home and slowly carve it.

"Brother Zhuang, this is a Mi-8 Russian-made military transport helicopter, produced in the sixties and seventies of the last century, it is an antique, but the performance is not bad, it can seat more than 20 people......"

Peng Fei looked at the transport plane and whispered in Zhuang Rui's ear, but when the Burmese soldiers came up, Peng Fei immediately stopped talking.

Zhuang Rui knows that before the collapse of the Soviet Union in the last century, for its global strategic position, a fleet was stationed in Myanmar's seaport, but later Russia's economic tension withdrew that fleet to the country, but in Myanmar there are many military facilities with Russian imprints.

The speed of such a Mi-8 military direct transport elevator is about more than 300 kilometers per hour, which is not very fast, but its advantages are that it has a large fuel load, a longer range than an ordinary helicopter, and the internal space is also sufficient.

Hu Rongzhuang Ruihe and others, plus those people sent by the Burmese military, there were a total of eight people, and they did not look crowded in the cabin at all, and they even had room to lean down and sleep.

It's just that Zhuang Rui's mind can only think about it, when the propeller of the helicopter rotated, the huge roar shook several people in the cabin with red faces, and they opened their mouths wide to relieve the discomfort of their ears, only the performance of those Burmese soldiers and Hu Rong was normal, as for Peng Fei, Zhuang Rui estimated that he must have pretended.

However, Zhuang Rui and the two professors were really miserable, and their eardrums seemed to be broken.

Zhuang Rui has not done a helicopter, but the sound insulation effect of this military helicopter is really poor, and there is a hatch on one side, but the hatch on the other side is nowhere to be seen.

The two professors who were still thinking about continuing to chat on the helicopter, after the helicopter took off, their faces were also pale, and they were silent, and the wind outside the cabin was whirring into the cabin, not to mention speaking, even if you opened your mouth, you could fill your stomach with the air of the rainforest.

Fortunately, the winter temperature in Myanmar is above 20 degrees, otherwise everyone in the cabin will be frozen into popsicles.

After leaving the barracks, after about half an hour, Zhuang Rui felt a little used to it, Zhuang Rui looked at the ground from the glass in the cabin, but everywhere he saw was tall trees and dense forests, and there was no scenery at all.

It is now the dry season in Myanmar, and those tall broad-leaved trees also seem to be a little withered, and the leaves on the trunks are very scarce.

However, now is the best time to mine jadeite in Myanmar, because when the rainy season comes, the mountain roads will be very difficult to walk, not to mention people, even livestock can not pass, so now in the mining area, is the busiest time.

The mountains of Myanmar are not particularly steep, but they are endless, one mountain after another, and the jungle is dense, and Zhuang Rui believes that if he is thrown from here, it is estimated that he will not be able to escape from it for a year and a half.

Looking at the towering trees under the plane, Zhuang Rui felt very incredible about the social form of Myanmar, Myanmar itself is close to the seaport, the geographical location is very important, and the inland is rich in gems and precious teak, but the Burmese people are so poor, this root does not know where it comes from.

After more than an hour, the helicopter slowed down and slowly stopped on a hill, Zhuang Rui thought it was on the ground, and quickly unbuckled his seat belt and jumped off the helicopter.

"This ...... What kind of place is this? It's not Myitkyina, is it?"

Zhuang Rui looked around, there were dense forests everywhere, and couldn't help but look at Hu Rong, even if this northern Myanmar is barren, it is impossible not to even see a figure.

"It's only halfway through, the driver wants to take a break, come, brother, drink saliva......" Hu Rong smiled and handed Zhuang Rui a bottle of drink.

It is better to say that the pilot wants to rest, but it is better to say that the helicopter needs to rest, because after the helicopter is stable, the pilot is busy, and he is checking whether the various parts of the helicopter are working properly, you know, this is an old antique from thirty or forty years ago, and it cannot support a continuous flight for several hours.

If there is a problem in the sky, I am afraid that the people on the helicopter will be smashed into meat before the parachute is opened, but the military facilities produced by the polar bear can still be trusted in terms of quality, at least Hu Rong has sat many times, and there has been no problem.

Professor Feng and Professor Chen also helped each other and walked down from the helicopter, their bodies and bones were not as good as Zhuang Rui's, this would have been a pale face, if it wasn't for each other's support, I'm afraid they would have fallen to the ground a long time ago.

"Two, it's nothing, I'm really sorry to let the two of you suffer, there are also mineral veins nearby, but we have to work a little harder, rush to Pa Kang, I don't know if the two teachers can hold on a little longer?"

Hu Rong saw the two professors get off the helicopter and hurriedly greeted them, he just wanted to arrive in the Phakant area of Myitkyina as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that the bodies of these two professors could not withstand the bumps of the helicopter.

In fact, taking a train in Myanmar is estimated to be worse than this helicopter, it takes thirty or forty hours to travel from Mandalay to Myitkyina, and the train is also a "luxury train" left by the British in the middle of the last century.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can persevere, I really didn't expect that the growth environment of the jade mine would be in this kind of place, hearing is false, seeing is believing......"

Professor Feng waved his hand again and again, indicating that he had no problem, the beauty of jadeite is well known, but the mining and growing environment behind jadeite is rarely mentioned in the world, because of the Burmese government's seclusion.

Half a century ago, although Zhuang Rui's grandfather had gone deep into Myanmar to investigate the jade mines, due to special historical reasons, his conclusions were not published, and they are still buried in that wooden box.

The formation of jadeite geological landform, has always been a topic of discussion among domestic geologists, now have the opportunity to see the geological environment of jadeite growth, although the two professors are tired, but their faces are still full of excitement.

After resting for more than an hour, several people boarded the helicopter again, and they only drank some water, but they did not dare to eat, otherwise they would vomit out what they had eaten.

The flight lasted nearly two hours, and from the helicopter there was already a faint presence on the ground, and at nearly five o'clock the helicopter also landed in a military camp in Myitkyina, where troops were basically stationed outside the city.

"Two professors, Brother Zhuang, let's pick you up tomorrow, take a good rest today......"

After getting off the helicopter, Hu Rong looked at the pale faces of several people, knowing that they would not be able to eat anything at night, so he used the car he was waiting in the barracks to send several people to the most luxurious hotel in Myitkyina.

Zhuang Rui looked from the car, the city of Myitkyina is far worse than Yangon and Mandalay, at least in those two cities, there are some modern buildings, but here, all you see are low wooden houses, reinforced concrete buildings are very rare.

The so-called luxury hotel is just a three-story building, except for a 21-inch bulky color TV, there is no electrical appliance, no water heater to boil water, and the waiter has to send it over.

Zhuang Rui and the others were really tired, and after taking a shower in the room, they all went to bed.

Although Hu Rong also has a house in Myitkyina, the Hu family's roots in Myanmar are in Hpakant, and he also stayed in a hotel with Zhuang Rui and others today.

By the next morning, two imported SUVs had stopped in front of the hotel.

This is Hu Rong's private car, if you take the car provided by the military, it is probably the old Beijing Jeep 212 made in China, and at a certain time, China has supported such a batch of jeeps in Myanmar.
