Chapter 156: Quicksand River (Third Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )

It's been three days since he left the supply station, and Wan Yi really thought that Lin Jianxue deliberately tossed himself and threw away most of the outdoor supplies he had carefully prepared, except for some small bits and pieces, such as flashlights, water cups, compasses, socks, etc., all the others were replaced with the kind of stupid and coarse things that looked no different from migrant workers' equipment. Not even his shoes were left, and the light sandshoes turned into thick, heavy leather boots in a blink of an eye, and it was uncomfortable to walk.

But as time passed, Wan Yi gradually understood that Lin Jianxue did not do this to rectify him, but for his good. Don't look at Wan Yi's brand-name goods, they are worth a lot of money, but in fact, although they are good as brand-name outdoor products, in an exploration team like theirs, these things are almost flashy.

Let's talk about his Archaeopteryx backpack and jacket first, this brand is very good in outdoor products, but this so-called nanotechnology clothes and backpack are lightweight, but in the harsh conditions of the field, it is not as inconspicuous as the work clothes. To take the simplest example, just yesterday they passed through a poplar forest, and they also stayed in the poplar forest and took samples for testing, if he was wearing the original jacket at the time, I am afraid that by the time he finished all this work, he would have already become tattered, but the thick overalls drilled in and out of the woods, except for getting dirty and leaving a few shallow scratches, there was no damage at all.

There are also heavy leather boots on his feet, team member Wang Xiaoshan told him that he often encounters various complex terrain in the field, and there are many poisonous insects in the desert, if you don't wear this kind of boots inlaid with steel plates, if it is an ordinary shoe, let alone walk such a long way, once the poisonous insects get into the shoes or bite through the soles, then the results can be imagined.

What's more, there are also frequent wildlife sightings in the grasslands and deserts. The color of those outdoor equipment like Wan Yi's before is too bright, and it is easy to attract the attention of animals, because this is in the northwest where the conditions are difficult, not in the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River, and it is very unsafe for such bright outfits to be active in the wild, but those that look inconspicuous are more suitable.

The ancients. Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles. Wan Yi finally understood the truth of this at this moment, and in just three days, he even felt that he had learned more than he had learned in three years of college, not only learned valuable knowledge of survival in the field from Lin Jianxue and other exploration team members, but also learned about the hardships of geological exploration work in practice.

At the beginning, Zhang Liyun felt that Wan Yi would definitely not be able to persevere, but he didn't expect Wan Yi to complete the adjustment of his role in just three days, although he was far inferior to ordinary exploration team members in terms of experience and ability. But his strength of not being afraid of hardship made Zhang Liyun, who looked down on Wan Yi at first, a little impressed.

Today, the exploration team completed its work in the predetermined area and set up camp in the evening in the selected area. Camping in the wilderness is very particular, and on the first day, Wan Yi made a joke, he felt strange according to his own experience in the outdoors, because the place where the exploration team camped was far away from a river, and the upwind outlet was not selected, but was set up in a place 2 miles away from the river downwind.

That's when he asked. According to his experience of outdoor activities, the best camping place should be close to the water source, leeward, far cliff, near the village, shade, and lightning protection. But in addition to the impossibility of the exploration team near the village, there is no need for the far cliff, and the shade is chosen in the sunny place, not to mention the lightning protection, and this is not considered at all when selecting the site.

Wan Yi raised his question, which immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter. Wait for this road to take care of him. And after Wang Xiaoshan, who had a good relationship, explained to him in a whisper, Wan Yi's face turned red all of a sudden, it turned out that camping around the desert and grassland not only had to consider the requirements of ordinary camping, but also had to take into account other factors, such as the proximity of water sources. This place is frequented by animals, whether herbivores or carnivores, they are inseparable from the water source, and it is easy to get in danger if they camp too close to the water source.

As for the downwind position, it is also to avoid the animal's sense of smell to ensure safety, shade and sun, these two places should also change with different terrain and environment, the heat in the desert is large, some poisonous insects living underground tend to hide in the shade, and at this time, camping should take this into account, if the temperature is not very different, try to choose the sunny place is safer than the shade direction.

After camping, the sun began to set, and the work of the field exploration team was hard and boring, and after a busy day, only a few hours before going to bed was a leisure time. With jerky meat boiling in a pot, steamed buns that can be preserved for a long time, canned vegetables and boiled milk tea, this is a very hearty dinner.

After dinner, a few people sit around the campfire, the temperature difference between day and night in the northwest is very large, the hottest time at noon is nearly 30 degrees or even may reach 40 degrees, and the temperature will be as low as a few degrees at night, so the insulation at night must be done well, so as not to get sick.

"Here, drink another cup of milk tea to warm up." Wang Xiaoshan handed a pot to Wan Yi, Wan Yi said thank you, poured a cup of milk tea into the cup, held it in his hand and drank it in a sip. This milk tea is only boiled with the most ordinary brick tea under limited conditions, but the milk taste is mellow, and the tiredness of drinking a sip of the day seems to be dispelled.

"I said Da Xiucai, not bad! In a few days, we have the demeanor of our brothers. Wu Jun, who was sitting on Wan Yi's right, laughed and joked with him, in addition to the fact that Wan Yi's skin is not as dark and rough as a few of them, the whole person's dress is no different from that of ordinary exploration team members, even the originally neat hair is a mess due to the wind and sand, and in the field, even if you wash your hair every day, it is useless, the freshly washed hair is blown by the wind and sand is equivalent to washing in vain, and then they will gradually go deeper into the desert, in the desert, the water source is very important, and every drop of water cannot be wasted.

Wan Yi smiled, he felt that these words were recognition and appreciation for himself, and these days he obviously felt that the players who were originally lukewarm to him gradually became closer to him.

After a few kind words, Wan Yi humbly asked the team members for the next precautions. Because they were just around the desert before, and they were going to enter the desert next, the desert was called the Sea of Death, after all, Wan Yi stepped into this Sea of Death for the first time, and he was inevitably a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Actually, the desert is not as scary as imagined, as long as you are prepared, it is still very safe." Wang Xiaoshan comforted.

Wu Jun also patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, we have to go back and forth in the desert for a few months every year, aren't we all fine?" Besides, our forest team is an old expert, and he knows everything about this area, so you kid can rest assured. ”

Hearing this, Wan Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but who would have thought that Qin Shouyi suddenly interjected: "Don't listen to these two boys' nonsense, how can the desert be without danger, Xiao Wan, when you enter the desert, you must remember that you must follow our footprints, if you accidentally fall into the quicksand river, don't panic, let alone struggle blindly, because the more you struggle, the faster you will sink." ”

"Quicksand River?" Wan Yi was stunned, why is this name so familiar, and when he thought about it, he remembered, isn't this the river where Monk Sha stayed in "Journey to the West"? I remember that the quicksand river is described in the book like this: 800 quicksand realms, 3,000 weak water depths. The goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom.
