Chapter 90 [Treasure in the Desert]

"Sudan red?"

Isn't that the legendary evil additive, this can also be eaten? Could it be that the dog master made a mistake and acted as a baby!

The audience didn't know why, but in a patch of yellow sand, a few red plants shaped like roses suddenly appeared, which was indeed very charming. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Ergou didn't know what everyone thought, so he said: "As we all know, Africa is the hottest region in the world, with cloudless skies all year round, scorching sun, hot and little rain, known as the world's furnace. But the locals have their own way of cooling off, as long as they drink a sip of the cool, sweet, slightly sour 'Kirkdi' - the Chinese call Sudan red drink, the fatigue caused by the heat suddenly disappears, and the spirit is instantly renewed. ”

"I drank it once in Morocco, and it is said that drinking Sudan red tea can lower blood lipids, protect the cardiovascular system, and delay aging. ”

"Tea made from Sudan dyes is also extremely popular in the local area. The tea turned red as if it had been bloody. It's scary to look at, but in fact, there is a sweet and sour taste that permeates the mouth, which is very thirst-quenching. ”

"Regular consumption of tea and beverages made from Sudan red can also help reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride values, achieve the purpose of preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases, and at the same time imperceptibly play a role in weight loss. It is precisely because Sudan dyes have such multi-functional health care effects, and African locals also highly respect Sudan reds, and Sudan dyes can be seen everywhere in major supermarkets and coffee shops in the local area. ”

"I think domestic friends who liked to drink Sudan black tea in the early years will definitely be no stranger to Sudan reds. At that time, I was still in school, and the price of Sudan red drink was very cheap in Africa, and it was later discovered and brought back to China by Chinese merchants who were more superstitious about medicine and food supplements. The propaganda that fueled the fire has speculated the price of Sudan dyes all the way. ”

"It's a pity that a few years ago, the British Food Standards Agency listed 'Sudan dyes' as a cancer complicated substance, and as soon as the news came back to China, it immediately caused a boiling 'Sudan dye turmoil', and the reputation of Sudan dye drinks was affected. But in fact, the British official 'Sudan Dye No. 1' is just a synthetic industrial dye, and Sudan Dyes, a green plant produced in Africa, are really two concepts that are incompatible. ”

“…… In today's network society, any slight disturbance will be exaggerated tenfold and hundredfold. I won't talk about examples such as hoarding banlan root and hoarding table salt. In short, everyone is a person with an ID card, and they must have the most basic self-discrimination ability for Internet rumors, rumors, and brick family statements, and it is best not to see the wind or rain. ”

After a pause, he waved his hand and said with a dry smile: "Okay, there are a lot of digressions, it can be regarded as a rumor, and Professor Dog's small class is over." ”

"I would like to thank the camels for the gift, Sudan red I received, I am very satisfied, thank you to my dear travel companions, this will be the best small food on my next trip. ”

I said too much just now, and I was a little worried that the audience didn't like to listen to similar preaching, so I couldn't help but squint my eyes and secretly watch the barrage.

Fortunately, everyone's reaction was very face-saving, and a large number of barrages such as "I know", "I was taught", "I believe that the dog master is not a bad subject", and "the dog master has a lot of knowledge" swiped the screen, which also put him at ease.

Continuing on the road, he resumed the small game of drinking water, and by the fifth time he had been able to maintain the level of 30 minutes, but unfortunately in the end there were only more than 3,000 people who could guess correctly.

Then there was a pleasant lottery, and the result was naturally a few happy and a few sad.

On the way, he did not forget to explain to the audience: "Walking in the desert, if you don't know how to see the sky." During the day, you can also judge the direction of the wind, the Mediterranean wind blows from the northwest, and the sand pile is blown very softly on the windward side, and slightly steep on the leeward side, which is easy to identify. Only the foolish would believe the marks on the ground as they see them, because the surface of the desert is constantly changing. ”

"A lot of times, you see sand dunes glittering not far away, but when the wind blows the sand, they disappear very quickly. Sometimes, when the wind blows, you even feel like the world is just sand. ”

……

Finally, at the hottest midday, the camel caravan came to the vicinity of a gorge of red rock formations and drilled into it.

Even they can't make it to the fiercest sun overhead.

Chen Ergou, who was wilted, also sat under the rock with his head wilted and rested, shaking his green hat, after drinking the last sip of water, he also raised the kettle upside down, poured his mouth to the mouth of the kettle several times, and finally made sure that he would never pour out a drop of water again, and he put the kettle away with a pity on his face.

"I feel sorry for the dog!", "This is the live broadcast. "What should I do if I run out of water?" ......

Compared with the worries of the audience in the live broadcast room, Chen Ergou didn't think about it so much, stuffed a piece of Sudan red petal into his mouth and chewed it.

At this time, I had time to look at my surroundings, curiously looking at the rocks around me that were as smooth as flowing water, and exclaimed: "Close contact with the legendary Sahara is a longing wish for many people." It seems nothing strange to experience its silence and desolation, to see the sea of sand connecting to the sky, and to see the sun disappear behind the rising sand dunes. The desert in front of me was like coming to an alien planet from the movie "Star Wars", and the strange environment made me think I was on Mars. ”

"Don't worry I'm going to die of thirst. ”

"Camels have a good memory of water, just like elephants in the African savannah. During dry seasons, they travel tens or even hundreds of kilometers to find water in the same waterholes they visited decades ago. I think it's no accident that the camel procession stopped here, so let's take a break and then go in and look for some food, water. ”

This is a rare Grand Canyon, famous for its majestic, steep mountains and vast desert landscapes.

From the fiery red peaks that dominate the region's highest peaks to the Arabian sandy plains, it's the combination of mountains and deserts that makes this strange landscape feel like an alien planet.

Walking into the canyon, what he saw and heard made Chen Ergou and the audience all amazed.

Goudan seems to have some experience with the soundtrack recently, and a "Star Wars" soundtrack sounded in the live broadcast room at the right time, which made the audience fascinated.

Although half of the rock mass is buried in the dunes, the outcrop of the sandstone is larger than a truck. During the rainy season in the Sahara Desert, tropical rains dissolve the surrounding rocks, creating nail-like peaks.

Walking forward, on a huge red rock as smooth as a mirror, several huge frescoes of primitive hunting were found.

Some of the sandstone is also carved with rock art and carvings left by human ancestors, some of which date back to 8,000 years ago.

He discovered that the frescoes did not exist alone, and that the further he went, the more they became. It is carved with lions, ostriches, buffaloes and all sorts of people.

Chen Ergou asked the dog to take a careful picture of the mural and share it with all the viewers who watched the live broadcast or were about to watch the show on TV.

Witnessing this solemn scene, his voice couldn't help but be a little more solemn, "These petroglyphs carved by humans on the rocks in this area many years ago should have not ended before the rainy season ended, and the area did not dry up. The depiction of a fighting lion may have been able to provide a flood of strength for the people who hunted here at the time. But as the earth pulsates and the dry climate forces our ancestors to evacuate the Sahara Desert, the beauty of the region is rarely appreciated. ”

"It is said that in 1933, a French cavalry team came to the Sahara Desert and accidentally found a group of frescoes several kilometers long on the plateau of Tasilitai and Enajil in the middle of the desert, all painted on the rocky shade formed by water erosion. Apparently there are similar murals here, although not a few kilometers long, I think there are several hundred meters......"

The popularity of the live broadcast room exploded at this moment, as if the treasure of the forty thieves of the desert had been discovered.

All kinds of gifts are constantly refreshed, and even lead to the ID of many self-proclaimed archaeological experts.

Whether it's true or not, I'm afraid that only these professionals can understand the significance of discovering these murals. It is very likely that these are not the existing murals that have been discovered, in other words, Chen Ergou may have discovered this place for the first time in modern humans.

The discovery of these murals is of great help to local archaeology and scientific research.
