Isn't the quicksand river stored in mythological stories, why did Qin Shouyi suddenly mention it, and from his tone, it seems that the quicksand river is real.

Wan Yi, who was puzzled, couldn't help but ask this question, and immediately everyone laughed, including Lin Jianxue, who had always been silent, also let out a soft laugh.

"Xiao Wan, let me ask you, what is "Journey to the West" about?" Zhang Liyun saw Wan Yi looking confused and asked with a smile.

"Of course, it's the story of Tang Seng learning scriptures from the West." Wan Yi didn't even think about blurting out an answer.

"That's right, Tang Seng learned scriptures from the West, who is this Tang Seng?"

"Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty, also known as Master Sanzang"

"Hehe, then do you know where the so-called Western Heaven Scripture went?"

"Tianzhu, that is, the ancient Indian region, the book is written in the West Tianda Leiyin Temple, and the historical record should be the Nalanda Temple, the center of Buddhism in ancient India."

"Who wrote Journey to the West? What age is the author? ”

"Wu Chengen! Ming Dynasty people. ”

"You don't know that very well." Zhang Liyun smiled happily, but Wan Yi still didn't understand what this had to do with the quicksand river.

Then Zhang Liyun patiently explained that Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty went to Nalanda Temple to learn scriptures, traveled all the way to the west, and finally retrieved the scriptures and promoted Buddhism. This has long been recorded in history, and the route that Master Xuanzang traveled west must pass through was the Western Regions, which is now the northwest region of China.

In ancient times, the road from the Central Plains to the Western Regions was very famous, this is the famous "Silk Road", and this Silk Road is not easy to walk, the road is full of difficulties, not only to cross countless mountains and rivers, but also the vast desert. One of the most dangerous stretches of the road is the journey through the desert.

As a native of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Chengen wrote the book "Journey to the West", but Wu Chengen has never been to the Western Regions, and the concept of the Western Regions is hearsay except for his imagination. In the desert, the most terrifying thing is not actually a storm, because experienced travelers can often predict storms in advance based on various factors such as weather, environment, and animal reactions. Thus finding a way to avoid it. In the desert, the most dangerous thing is actually the unpredictable quicksand, if you accidentally break into a large area of quicksand, no matter how good you have the ability to reach the sky, you can't escape.

Moreover, quicksand is not fixed, its area is as unpredictable as a river, even the most experienced explorer is cautious every step forward after entering the desert, fearing that if he encounters the quicksand, he will be trapped in it, or even end up with no bones left.

And for this reason. The ancients talked about the horror and color change of the quicksand river, and Wu Chengen, who had never been to the desert, only heard the name of the quicksand river, and its terribleness, but did not know that the quicksand river was not actually a real river, so when Wu Chengen wrote the book, he naturally described the quicksand river as a rushing river, how did he know that the real quicksand river is actually hidden deep in the desert, and there is no difference between it and ordinary sand land on the surface. Only when a person or animal steps on it, it can no longer get rid of the swallowing of quicksand.

This allusion, as a member of the geological exploration team. Especially Lin Jianxue, who works in the desert all the year round, they know very well, but Wan Yi is the first time he has heard of it, and after listening to Zhang Liyun's explanation, Wan Yi suddenly realized that he understood the origin of the so-called quicksand river.

"So, Xiao Wan, Xiao Qin's reminder is right. We don't have the same skills as Sun Monkey, and if we accidentally get into the quicksand river, we will be in trouble. Zhang Liyun finally told him seriously, but he also said that Wan Yi should not worry too much, although the quicksand river is relatively common in the desert, it is also very dangerous. But now is not ancient times after all, after entering the desert, the team members will take turns to explore the path with equipment to prevent them from accidentally entering the quicksand river, and once they really accidentally fall in, as long as they relax their bodies and lean back as much as possible, spread their limbs, and with the help of everyone, they can still escape from the quicksand.

In order to let Wan Yi intuitively understand how to deal with quicksand, Wang Xiaoshan deliberately taught Wan Yi some basic actions, and repeatedly told Wan Yi that if he really encountered this situation, he must do it according to the method he taught, and at the same time he could not panic, as long as he calmed down, there would definitely be no big problem.

Thank you, Wan Yi thought about it silently, and he didn't know what he thought of, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

Looking at his expression, Wu Jun smiled and asked Wan Yi if he was frightened by the depiction of the quicksand river, and at the same time asked him not to worry, now is not ancient times, with the development of science and technology, the equipment of the exploration team is very complete, and they have also encountered many quicksand in the desert, haven't they all passed safely.

"That's it, I said Xiao Wan, now that everyone can go to heaven, what quicksand are you afraid of, put a hundred hearts, as long as you don't run around, follow us, it's absolutely fine." Wang Xiaoshan patted Wan Yi's shoulder and comforted, Wan Yi smiled and nodded, but there seemed to be some concern in his eyebrows.

Everyone only thought that Wan Yi was still afraid of the description of the quicksand river just now, and they didn't think much about it. It happened that Wang Xiaoshan talked about the matter of people going to heaven, and several people chatted with great interest on this topic.

The hottest topic in the past half a year is the matter of people going to heaven, in fact, it is the news of spaceships to be precise. About half a year ago, it was suddenly reported that the Americans launched a spacecraft deep into space in the Earth's low-earth orbit, which was actually powered by controlled thermonuclear fusion, and also had an artificial gravity system and an ecological balance sphere. The United States claimed that the spacecraft, named Hades, was responsible for exploring the solar system, and at the same time announced that mankind had officially entered the space age.

This news caused a great sensation in an instant, and many people didn't dare to believe it was true at first, but the United States then released images of the Hades in the earth's space orbit, including a video of the spacecraft starting to fly into space.

Who would have thought that the day after the announcement by the Americans, the Russian side also announced that Russia also launched the Starry spacecraft belonging to Russia at the same time as the Americans launched the Hades spacecraft into space. Although the Russian side did not disclose the specific situation of the Star, judging from the video of the Starry Sky flying into space released by the Russian side, the huge Starry Sky is no less than the American Hades spacecraft, and the disclosure of this news stunned the world for a while.

But the matter is not over, and then, when the whole world has not yet reacted from these two pieces of news, the Chinese side, which has been keeping a low profile, also suddenly announced a piece of news, China claims that after the United States and Russia, China has also mastered spacecraft technology and successfully launched the Pioneer spacecraft. And now, the Pioneer spacecraft is flying into the depths of space, like the American Hades and the Russian Star, to explore the entire solar system. (To be continued......)
