The topography of Qaidam Basin is dominated by arid desert, and the main soil types are salinized desert soil and gypsum desert soil.

Meadow soils and swamp soils are generally salinized, resulting in sparse vegetation here, dominated by shrubs, semi-shrubs and herbs with high drought resistance, and halophytes are abundant.

Outside the bus, on the edge of the Zarkhan Salt Lake, we saw some grass mounds, deep purple needles, silk grass and black moss grass and other salt vegetation.

Small wildlife such as yellow sheep, roe deer and badgers are also seen.

Yi He was very curious about these wild animals, and kept discussing the ecology and history of the Qaidam Basin with Tuoba Yanqiong.

Li Bingtian was quite cunning, and asked everyone to use Bu Yunfei's car as a base to keep going around in circles near the Zarkhan Salt Lake, completely dizzying everyone and making people unable to find the southeast, northwest, south, south, and northwest.

In the past two or three days, after everyone's mobile phones have run out of battery and have completely become deaf and missing, the real scientific research mission has begun.

Zheng Ya believes that by Li Bingtian's rectification, the dozen or so people in the entire scientific expedition team have completely formed a small social circle and temporarily lost contact with the outside world.

Li Bingtian's actions may show that he attaches great importance to this scientific expedition, and has a greater grasp of the harvest, so he does not want to be disturbed, and secondly, he may not particularly trust his scientific expedition members.

After such isolation, even if there are some members of the scientific expedition, it is estimated that they will not be able to set off any strong winds.

What a cunning old man.

All this should be expected by him, and it is also designed, and after the mobile phones in everyone's hands were stopped, he made a large box of walkie-talkies, tinkered with a few times, and each person was equipped with a walkie-talkie.

This guy is a good person, and he has some skills, and the walkie-talkie he gives everyone is particularly powerful.

The talking distance of everyone's handheld walkie-talkie in a flat, open and barrier-free environment can reach 10 kilometers, and ordinary similar walkie-talkies can have 6 kilometers.

Ordinary walkie-talkies consume a lot of batteries, and Li Bingtian's match, like Zheng Ya's special mobile phone, is also solar.

Ordinary walkie-talkies are generally one channel, and Li Bingtian's walkie-talkie has three different channels that can be deployed and used at the same time.

One is a public channel, which is a channel where everyone enters together and 11 people can communicate with each other; a scholar channel, that is, the four channels where Li Bingtian, Yi He, Zheng Ya, and Li Dachun communicate with each other; and a security channel, which is a channel arranged for defense by several security personnel such as the senior team.

Zheng Ya estimated that among all of them, only Li Bingtian himself should be able to open three channels at the same time. Before the scientific examination, Zheng Ya felt that he had benefited a lot.

The appearance of the bald Zhao made Zheng Ya know that his scientific expedition might not be too peaceful, and now, Li Bingtian's shot was simply a stroke of genius, which instantly blinded the people behind the bald Zhao.

Zheng Ya can be sure that the other party is now looking for his scientific expedition team all over the world.

However, unless they knew the true direction and location of Li Bingtian's scientific expedition, it would be difficult to find this place in a short period of time.

After doing a good job of the walkie-talkie, the scientific expedition team really entered the state of scientific research.

Li Bingtian's scientific expedition is precisely speaking, it is only a general direction, after the walkie-talkie was sent, Li Bingtian began to assign the real scientific research task: "The first thing everyone did was to use our RV as a base to complete the exploration of the terrain within a radius of 10 kilometers within three days, and everyone needs to pay attention to the following details......

When he is really serious, Li Bingtian gives people a very dedicated feeling, he is meticulous in explaining tasks, and when assigning tasks, he is relatively reasonable.

A team of two people, the scientific expedition team was divided into five groups, Bu Yunfei stayed in the RV, and the other teams went out to explore the terrain in four directions.

The group is basically a scientific expedition officer and an armed police soldier.

partnered with Zheng Ya is an armed police soldier Yu Xiaolong, who usually looks shy and doesn't talk much.

The strongest way-finding ability, Wei Minghuaisen, arranged for Li Bingtian himself, and he might explore some special directions; the strongest senior team arranged for the fat man Li Dachun, probably because he was not diligent in taking care of this guy's five bodies, and he was afraid that he would be lazy and make mistakes.

Yi He is naturally still on the same team as Tuoba Yanqiong.

The two remaining soldiers, Wu Qing and Zhang Yehong, formed the fifth team, and the first scientific research task was relatively simple, that is, everyone needed to pay attention to the surrounding environment, record some special landforms, and provide them to Li Bingtian when the time came, as an important basis for scientific research to use.

Zheng Ya's scientific expedition direction is a bit away from the Zarkhan Salt Lake, correspondingly, the direction of Zheng Ya and Yu Xiaolong's scientific expedition is some terrain and landforms around Zarhan.

According to Li Bingtian's request, Zheng Ya had two key points: one was to take a picture of the grass in this direction with a walkie-talkie, store it, and hand it over to Li Bingtian after he returned; the other was to find out what kind of small animals were distributed among the surrounding grass knolls and shrubs.

The plants in the Qaidam Basin are not luxuriant, the ecology is relatively simple, the salt content near Zarhan is very sufficient, Zheng Ya thinks that there may be no animal activities, but after really starting the scientific expedition, Zheng Ya found that life is very tenacious, as long as it is a place that can survive, there will be a unique ecology.

On the second day of the expedition, on the yellow mound, Zheng Ya found some signs of roe deer activity, which should be some herbivores running from a distant place.

Some gerbils, some scorpions, and the like were also found.

The grass mounds, the loess mounds, and the salt caps that seemed to be soil, as long as Zheng Ya found them, they all took pictures and stored them in the walkie-talkie.

Li Bingtian's requirements are very high, and every relatively different terrain requires three effects: panorama, far and near, and close-up, among them, the so-called panorama, that is, the form around the terrain must be photographed.

The other members of the expedition team did not feel any objection to these requirements, but felt that Professor Li was really dedicated, but a real geologist has a very deep study of topography and landforms.

But as a geology student who has read Mengxi's writings, Zheng Ya feels that Li Bingtian's practices are a bit feudal and superstitious, because they are too similar to those practices of the Situation Sect.

When Zheng Ya studied Mengxi's writings, he had been exposed to similar content, and among the public opinion techniques, the Situation Sect paid the most attention to the trend of Shanlan, so the Situation Sect was also called the Luantou Sect.

The task that Li Bingtian is now giving seems to be a thing of the Situation Sect.

So, when Zheng Ya was in the scientific examination, he was a little little bit in his heart, since Professor Li was using the Kanyu technique to judge the trend of mountains and rivers, did he also take out the gadgets taught by Mentor Xiaofei for a walk?

Of course, according to Tutor Xiaofei's annotations, as well as some special scientific and technological aids of Mentor Xiaofei, his Kanyu technique is more like a scientifically applied terrain judgment technique.

What makes Zheng Ya more embarrassed is that if he wants to use the Kanyu technique, he needs to take out the compass of the Li Qi Sect to locate and set the direction and set the yin and yang, but now, there is a Yu Xiaolong by his side, and it is quite inappropriate to take out the compass.

You have to find a way to break it out of Xiaolong.

The two acted together for two days, ran all over the nearby five-kilometer area, and every day, they sent the photos back according to Li Bingtian's request.

Li Bingtian recognized the gains of each team, but none of the teams made special discoveries.

On the third day, that is, the last day of the scientific expedition team to survey the terrain, Zheng Ya was thinking about how to break up with Yu Xiaolong, and he didn't think that the soldier brother would suggest in advance: "Zheng Ya, are we acting separately, as long as we are not too far apart, what happens, everyone can contact in time, I believe that after the group action, our survey effect will be better." ”

Zheng Ya couldn't ask for it, and said happily: "Okay, let's divide into two directions, one person investigates one side, there are no particularly powerful beasts on Zarhan's side, it shouldn't be a big problem, but before we go back, it's best to act together, otherwise Professor Li is afraid that he will be unhappy......

Yu Xiaolong said happily, the two of them split up and raised their darts, which means that after Xiaolong walked away, Zheng Ya took off the toolbox on his back and found his own surveyor, which is the compass!
