I also slid down the sand slope, grabbed the black charcoal-like sand in my hand, and immediately felt a warm and hot spot in my hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sand under the black fine sand is still well preserved, it is all golden yellow, but the surface has turned black, and such a large area has become black.

Just all this, I wondered, at a glance this area is scorched earth, and I feel like a gray area.

"What are they going to do?" Grandpa said with a shocked face.

The men of Cordil had apparently walked for less than an hour, and there were charred black footprints in the distance, and the footprints were messily moving in the direction of the east.

The air also smelled of black tar, like the smell of gasoline after it was burned and volatilized.

Obviously, such a large area is all watered with gasoline, and they have traveled thousands of miles to burn sand with gasoline?

"Old man, did they come so far with gasoline just to burn sand?" Captain Xie said puzzled.

"It's definitely not going to be that simple, let's look around and maybe we'll find some clues." Grandpa said.

The desert within this basin is no different from other deserts, just because the surface has turned charred black.

"I used to dig a pit, and it was understandable to dig up the ghost vines, but what does this burning sand mean, and after burning, people left again." The bald leaf went around his head, completely confused.

There are no plants in this area, and if there are plants, they will definitely leave a black gray substance after being burned, but there is no trace of digging except sand and sand.

"Wouldn't they just be heating at night and then burning such a large area of desert with fire to keep warm?" Big Head said.

I directly gave the big head a roll of the eyes and said: "Are you a pig brain, the temperature at night is more than ten degrees, we don't need to be warm, do you think they need to be warmed all the time, and who is so idiot to run so far and use gasoline to keep warm." ”

"There's definitely something we haven't paid attention to, let's look for it!" Captain Xie said.

I kept turning along the scorched earth, holding a dead branch in my hand, and kept turning the sand along the scorched earth, and then I searched around and found no suspicious signs.

There was nothing suspicious about this scorched earth, not even beneath the sand.

Just when I didn't have anything to gain, suddenly my feet sank, and it felt as if my feet had stepped into a small pit.

I looked down and lifted my foot, and found that the sand under my feet had been stepped on, revealing a deep hole the size of a bowl, which was bottomless, as if it had been driven deep into the ground with some drilling tools.

When I saw this, I immediately peeled open the sand layer on the surface, revealing a pitch-black steel pipe under the sand, the middle of the steel pipe was hollow, and it had turned charred black.

I dipped my hand in the black of the inner wall of the steel pipe and put it down on the tip of my nose and smelled the smell of gasoline.

"This ...... Is it oil? "I came to a result in my mind.

"Come and see!" I said to the people who were still looking.

Several people came to my side, looking at the black steel pipes in the bunker in the same amazement.

"Oil?" Captain Xie recognized it at a glance.

I nodded and said, "It's probably oil, they burn oil, not gasoline!" ”

"There's oil down here!" The leopard's eyes lit up and he said.

"Maybe not a lot, when they drilled down, it was estimated that there was a large area of oil gushing out, but only a limited amount of oil gushing out!" I said.

"Since the oil was discovered, why did it ignite again?" Ye Bald said puzzled.

"Maybe I'm afraid of being discovered, and besides, there isn't a lot of oil down here, but you can understand by looking at the sandy land within a mile of this radius, and there is no oil spewing out after ignition." I said.

"This tube looks so deep, let's get it out and have a look!" Ye Bald said.

"What are you doing with this pipe, it's clear that there's no oil at the bottom, is it true that the purpose of the cordil is to come for the oil? Otherwise, how could you carry the tools of drilling with you? I said.

The pipes of these wells are interlocked, with a powerful drill bit at the bottom, drilling into the ground, and then connecting the steel pipes one by one to probe the depth of the ground.

"Obviously, there is oil here, but the amount of oil in the photo area is not very large, so in order not to be discovered, they burned here, as long as the wind and sand blow again, when this piece is buried, there will be no traces." Captain Xie said.

According to some sources, the hinterland of the Taklamakan Desert is rich in groundwater resources and oil and other mining resources, which are conducive to development.

It's just that it's too dangerous in the desert, you can't even drive a car in, a lot of things are difficult to achieve, even if it's easy to develop, no one will brave the heat to enter the hinterland of the desert to extract corpse oil, first of all, sandstorms and mobile deserts are the biggest problems, and the second is that transportation has become a big problem, and the car doesn't work at all in it, and it's easy to get stuck in the sand.

"There is oil here for a long time, and it has been recorded in books for a long time, and it is not that no one has tried it, why did Kodir come here to find oil, did he want to make a fortune in this dead desert? You must know that this is a mobile desert, and every day there are thousands of acres of sand buried in the sand, and they are looking for how to extract oil. I said puzzled.

"It's likely that there are other purposes, and it's likely that all they did was to find the direction of the Sea of Death, a beautiful oasis full of dangers, and by exploring the ground they could see if they were going in the right direction. Oil may not be their purpose. Grandpa said.

"In other words, are they already close to the Sea of Death?" Ye Bald said.

"Quite possibly, it's not practical to mine oil in the desert, and the only possibility is to find your way through the resources underground." Grandpa continued.

"In that case, let's hurry up and keep up." Captain Xie said anxiously.

It can be seen that Captain Xie is the most anxious person here, and it is likely that it has a lot to do with Captain Hu Wan's clues, after all, the inscription on the parchment scroll ultimately points to the direction of the Sea of Death.

But if we really get to the sea of death, will there be any strange events that happened to the charging death squad before, this is what I am worried about, ten years of dreaming, ten years of sleeping tightly, it is a little scary to think about.

The sky is getting cooler, the temperature is slowly rising, and the sun is rising from the horizon at the end of the desert, dyeing the desert a layer of white and yellow.
