Because the government had already done its homework, the team that set off from Ruoqiang County was all escorted by army pickup trucks for the first week, from the corps stronghold to the camps of various exploration teams, all of which temporarily became the team's stationing place.

Until after passing through the Peacock River, where poplar and red willow still exist. Dr. Wang, an expert in charge of geology, told everyone that if you go further, you should enter the Yadan landform area with dense mounds and ravines.

"Yadan", Uyghur, means tall mound. Yadan landform is a kind of wind-eroded landform. From here, there will be fewer and fewer signs of life, and the wild camels, wild asses, and yellow sheep that I saw before will disappear, and then I will completely enter the "forbidden area of life" in Lop Nur.

Dr. Wang suggested that everyone should take a break here at the Peacock River. He also proposed that the pickup truck, which had been escorting everyone over, could be withdrawn.

Although Dr. Wang proposed this, it is clear that the soldiers did not listen to him.

According to the research plan with Lady Na in advance, they relied on poplar and red willow to build a simple transfer station on the spot. A lot of food and equipment that is not easy to bring in are left at the transfer station, because Beidou has not been successfully developed at that time, the national positioning system, in addition to top secret, or the use of foreign GPS, is a simple satellite positioning system specially set up by several professional high-tech personnel of Bogut company, and a radio station is installed.

The two lieutenants, Mi Chen, who had been escorted all the way, were left behind, and the lieutenant, Yao Yuan, continued to advance with the large army.

Because the search for Lop Nur cannot be carried out in the normal way, if the supply is insufficient, these people need to turn back to the camp and then search again.

Although at this time, the ancient city of Loulan and the exquisite ancient city have been discovered. Moreover, Zhang Meng and his party have also come here to look for the exquisite ancient city, but because of the unique geographical characteristics here, every time people walk on the road, it may be buried by quicksand, so there is no real road at all. Coupled with the abnormal disorder of the magnetic field here, the positioning of latitude and longitude can only be temporarily controlled within a certain range. In the end, it will take perseverance and luck to get close to the real heart of Lop Nur.

After listening to Dr. Wang's proposal, everyone rested on the spot and prepared to start the real desert walk tomorrow.

The climate in the desert has a very large temperature difference between morning and evening, sometimes reaching 60 degrees Celsius during the day, but about 10 degrees Celsius at night. Fortunately, the time to enter the desert this time is good, and the supplies are well prepared, and if there is any discomfort, the military doctor with the team will help everyone.

Zhang Meng came to Taklamakan for the second time and couldn't sleep. Seeing that it was the fat man's turn to keep vigil at night, he came out and wanted to chat with the fat man about nonsense, but he didn't expect to see the fat man molesting the beautiful Uyghur girl Gena, and he was disturbed by the beauty.

"Ahem."

Hearing a slight cough behind him, Zhang Meng looked back and found that Professor Lou was coming out in his coat. Seeing Zhang Meng looking at himself, Professor Lou raised the cigarette in his hand and said, "If you are addicted to smoking, come out and breathe." Would you like one? ”

"Nope." Zhang Meng waved his hand, "I don't smoke." ”

"Good. It's rare to see young people who don't smoke. ”

"Is smoking bad for your health?" Zhang Meng smiled.

"Yes, yes." Although Professor Lou was responding to Zhang Meng, he always looked at the north of the Peacock River as if he had something on his mind.

Professor Lou was fascinated, and Zhang Meng also looked there, but found that he couldn't even see a star in the sky, and it was like this here for seven days in a row. It seems that everyone's luck is not good, Taklamakan has always rarely had this kind of weather, and in Hatti's words, the god Hu Da here does not want everyone to get close to Lop Nur.

"Do you know the Silk Road, young man?"

"This one is famous." The implication is that Zhang Meng still knows.

"This Lop Nur is the buffer zone in the middle of the West Out of Yangguan, which used to be a vast lake, judging from the ruins of the ancient cities we passed, here used to be dotted with villages and towns, and merchants and monks came and went frequently. Here we find the shocking ancient city of Loulan and the vigilant queen, but we have not yet found what is hidden under Lop Nur. ”

"In fact, what saddens me the most is the destruction of cultural relics, have you seen those wooden coffins that were thrown out of the ancient tomb? This is all up to the rest of us to maintain.

Zhang Meng grunted, and secretly said that since the professor on this floor is the captain of the official scientific expedition team, he should also know the identity of these people, does he mean to preach, but obviously the purpose of this scientific expedition is not archaeological research, but there is another important matter, and the professor in front of him is not afraid of internal division?

So Zhang Meng had no choice but to rattle and say, "I'm afraid that even if any ruins of the ancient city are really found under Lop Nur, they would have disappeared in the first atomic bomb explosion in 1964, even if they were not completely blown up, but then there were hydrogen bomb explosion tests, and as many as 45 nuclear tests, and any kind of relics have already become a part of this quicksand." ”

"I didn't expect you to know so well."

"You're well prepared." Zhang Meng said.

"But if it really turns to ashes with the repeated blows of those two bombs, is it still necessary for the state to send us over?"

I don't know if the other party is tempting or what he means, anyway, Zhang Meng responded, "You have to ask your boss about this." ”

"Young man, I know who you are."

"Hmm." Zhang Meng nodded.

"Unfortunately, you don't know who I am?"

"Huh?"

"To be honest, there are many professors and experts like me, and there are many people in the Academy of Social Sciences, and I can't lead such an important operation at all, but don't you think it's strange that I can come in with you as the captain this time?"

"Oh? What's so strange? Zhang Meng looked at Professor Lou in front of him, and suddenly felt that this name was a little strange.

As if to see through Zhang Meng's thoughts, Professor Lou smiled and said, "That's right, like the twin guides, I am also a descendant here, but I am not a Luobu person, my ancestors are Loulan people, and if you go northeast, it should be the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan." ”

"Oh, no wonder!"

Seeing that Zhang Meng was very calm, Professor Lou retorted, "I've heard of the Zhang family of the Northern School, but I didn't expect you to be so calm at a young age." ”

"If I'm surprised because of Professor Lou's identity as you, then I'm afraid I'll be shocked when everyone here reveals their identity." Zhang Meng looked at the front casually and said, "Actually, how many people who can come here are not special?" ”

"That's right." Professor Lou looked at Zhang Meng with admiration and said, "It seems that I should be full of confidence in your team on this trip." After speaking, he directly told Zhang Meng the route he was going to take, "Tomorrow we will pass through Yadan, and then pass through Loulan, we can enter the Black Desert, and how to find the place we are looking for after entering the Black Desert depends on you." ”
