When they set off, it was already about half past three in the afternoon, and the two of them rode camels along the way to enjoy the desert scenery, without hustle and bustle, without noise, and let go of their mood in the desert, Hu Xiaodao suddenly felt that his soul seemed to be sublimated.

The path taken by the two of them was formulated by Hu Xiaodao according to the compass, and they looked down to check the pointer from time to time, as long as the data remained unchanged, they could keep walking.

Along the way, you can also find a lot of bushes and low Egyptian ginger palms scattered around the dry riverbed, and Hu Xiaodao shook his head again and again, which is the most desolate place in the world? Not at all!

The desert is layered with wavy three-mango grass, and if it weren't for the endless wasteland, Hu Xiaodao even suspected that he had come to a resort on the banks of the Rhine.

"I really don't know what the hell you're doing, if we go along the riverbed, don't worry even if we run out of water along the way, but you have to follow the pointer, you must know that there are many magnetic mountains in the desert, we still have to believe in our eyes, such as the stars in the sky, the plants in the desert, etc......."

"Wait!" Although Monica said it vigorously, Hu Xiaodao pouted: "Although what you said is very mysterious, in fact, there are already people in our country who have mastered this technology two thousand years ago!" ~

The ancient Greek star map and the ancient Chinese star map are the two most complete star chart systems in human history, and the former has gradually evolved into the 88 constellations currently used in the world.

The ancient star map of China has gradually faded out of the mainstream since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and even many astronomical professionals do not know how the ancient ancestors of China watched the stars!

The ancients of China were very intelligent, as early as in ancient times, they began to divide the sky full of stars into groups to name them, and in the Three Kingdoms period, the astronomer Chen Zhuo unified the star officials of the whole sky, forming a traditional Chinese star official system represented by the "Three Walls and Twenty-eight Houses".

As long as you know these three walls and twenty-eight nights, at least you won't get lost in the wild, and you won't lose your sense of direction, but I don't understand, so I just look at the Big Dipper on my head.

In the Sui Dynasty, there was the "Butian Song", which connected the stars of Zhou Tian with vivid rhymes, making up for the shortcomings of the star map that was difficult to circulate and the words were not enough to image, so that "there is a picture in the name, and the image is seen in the words", so that the difficult and mysterious starry sky becomes easy and full of poetry because of it.

The constellation was called "Xingguan" in ancient China, and Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty described the naming of Xingguan: in the wild elephant thing, in the morning elephant official, in the human elephant thing, so it was prepared.

2,300 years ago, during the Three Kingdoms period, the Taishi of Wu ordered Chen Zhuo to unify the star officials of the whole sky and compile a star catalog with 283 star officials and 1464 stars, which was known as "Chen Zhuo Dingji" in history.

Chen Zhuo's synthesis of the 283 official astrological system was adopted by later history books and became the basis for the observation of stars in China. It is a pity that Chen Zhuo's writings and original drawings about star officials in the Three Kingdoms period have long been lost and have not been handed down.

If I had the chance, I would definitely be looking for these lost civilizations and historical materials. I know what I want! ”

Hu Xiaodao didn't know when he lit a cigarette and said melancholy!

"I do know the legend of the Europeans who went to your country to plunder, and it is said that the European coalition forces plundered endless treasures from your country, which set back the national strength of your country by hundreds of years, I still know it......

"Humph!"

Before Monica could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Hu Xiaodao's cold snort!

"The valuation of any of the 12 zodiac signs alone is hundreds of millions of yuan, you must know that these riches are less than one hundred million of the ones they plundered at that time, I am determined to travel all over the mountains and rivers, and want to find back these lost national treasures!"

Although the speed of speech is very soft, and the voice is also slow, Monica can feel Hu Xiaodao's determination.

Before you know it, night is starting to fall quietly!

In the jungles of South America, due to the weather, Hu Xiaodao did not appreciate the real starry sky.

But when you come to the place of death, where the rainfall is the lowest in the world, the starry sky here is surprisingly clear, and it seems to be within reach!

The two comforted the camels and ate some simple dry food.

According to Monica, this is only the outskirts of the desert, and it is estimated that a hundred kilometers will be reached tomorrow, provided that there are no "accidents"!

When Hu Xiaodao wondered what the accident would be, Monica had already turned and ran behind the dunes.

Personal problems in the desert can only be solved nearby, but Hu Xiaodao can see it, it is Monica, every time she has to run far away, and before solving it, she will turn around to see if Hu Xiaodao has kept up.

Don't think about bathing, Hu Xiaodao drank some water, fed the camels and began to clean up the place where he lived.

"Don't be here, look!" Monica walked over to where Hu Xiaodao had put his tent and squatted down.

Hu Xiaodao looked carefully, and the sand here seemed to be flowing.

It's slow, it's slow, but the sand is really visible to the naked eye.

"This is quicksand, the quicksand unique to the Sahara, although it flows very slowly, and it's okay for people to walk on it, but if your tent chooses here, one night is enough time for the quicksand to drown you, even the camels can't escape!"

Monica casually picked up a few pieces of wood that she had brought back when she had just solved her personal problem, and then pulled her knife to a place not far from the sand dunes, stood in place and jumped: "That's it!" ”

Monica then explained: "Usually sand dunes are piled up over many years, and choosing a location next to the dunes not only prevents quicksand, but also prevents sudden storms at night.

And after three hours of cool in the afternoon, the sand on the ground is cooler than other places, which can make people comfortable, on the other hand, some basins are not suitable for camping, and the terrain is too low to encounter quicksand!

But don't camp in areas with lush vegetation, as some poisonous insects and shoes love to hunt insects inside, and rattlesnakes are frequent visitors!

It's around November now, I'm going to make a bed warmer now, you get out of the way a little! ”

Monica opened her knife, pulled out the sapper shovel next to her backpack on the ground and began to dig!

"Brother Dao, is my sister looking for water again?"

"I guess not, I should see if there is any treasure down there!"

"Blind? There is no village in front of the village here, there is no store in the back, are you willing to bury it here? I should have dug a pit to sleep, right? ”

In the live broadcast room, seeing Monica digging without saying a word, she was obviously impressed, and she started to discuss it when she had nothing to do.

Hu Xiaodao was also bored and had nothing to do, so he explained: "She is engaged in a clay kang, burning sand to keep warm!" But I brought a double tent, and she was just a personal habit. ”

didn't stop Monica's action because Hu Xiaodao respected the living habits of their nation, since there was no harm to himself, and he didn't have to do it himself, why didn't Hu Xiaodao do it.

Watching the shovel in Monica's hand fly up and down, Hu Xiaodao couldn't help but take out another cigarette and squatted on the sand dunes not far away to smoke, the moonlight was so bright, and the North Star in the sky was also shining, what else did he lack......

Looking at the black pressure in the distance, it seemed to be a cloud of dark clouds, Hu Xiaodao said excitedly: "Monica, look, it's going to rain!" ”
