"It's okay Uncle Ma, you're driving more tired than us! Why don't you let us switch with you somewhere to go? Guo Yixin said, glancing at Liu Xiaodong behind her.

"Yes, yes! We just don't know the road well, you can just guide ...... side," Liu Xiaodong echoed.

"There is basically no easy way to go, I can do it, don't worry!" Uncle Ma looked at the bare Gobi around him, and suddenly asked Liu Xiaodong: "You are a reporter, how do you feel when you see this scene of Lop Nur?" Don't forget that in the past--- when I was young, it was still sparkling and full of water and plants. ”

Liu Xiaodong looked out the car window: "The ecology of Lop Nur is already fragile, and it should be said that human activities have caused this place to die." ”

Uncle nodded: "You may not like this scene, but I think it should be like this, Lop Nur has a backbone!" Attaboy! ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Xiaodong and the others were full of confusion, not knowing what Uncle Ma meant.

Uncle Ma put his hands on the steering wheel, stared straight ahead, and continued: "Lop Nur is like a girl with a lot of personality, after the humans came here, they fell in love...... But then the human race only thinks about itself and doesn't care about Lop Nur's feelings, and finally Miss Lop Nur loses her temper and doesn't play with you humans. So she showed her cold side, which is what you see now...... I was lucky enough to see a different side of her, when she was warm and picturesque, and she was once happy and happy with humans. ”

"Wow, that's interesting!" Su Shuang in the back seat came to the spirit, "Her cold side...... Does it mean that Lop Nur is still alive, and she will show her beautiful side when she is happy? ”

Uncle Ma glanced at Su Shuang from the rearview mirror and said, "Young man, check the information on the Internet and find out, Lop Nur has gotten along well with humans at least twice, and the Loulan civilization is the best example!" It's a pity that they broke up later, and there were two human civilizations in Loulan, which were interrupted for nearly two thousand years, and finally disappeared completely. In fact, Lop Nur came back later, and in the thirties of the last century, the lake area here reached 2,000 square kilometers, and the largest reached more than 5,000 square kilometers! However, people did not learn the lessons of the past, engaged in large-scale development, and abused water resources, and this time Lop Nur turned around faster, and completely dried up in 1965...... Those who have broken their hearts may never come back! ”

There was silence in the car, Su Shuang turned his head and thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Uncle Ma, why is Lop Nur so individual?" There are also people in other places who are engaged in development, why is it only here that the old man and the human are turning their faces? ”

"Because of the water, there is normal rain in other places, but it basically doesn't rain here all year round, and the temperature is high and the evaporation is ......"

"And where did the original water come from? River water? Su Shuang asked again.

Liu Xiaodong glanced at him: "Forgot the geography class?" The water comes from the Tarim River, which reaches here through the Taklamakan Desert, and Lop Nur is at the end of the river, so the amount of water flowing here is very unstable. In the case of the fragile water ecology, human activities have become the last straw that crushes Lop Nur. ”

Uncle Ma glanced at Liu Xiaodong from the rearview mirror: "You summed it up well, I just like to compare Lop Nur to a person." ”

This parable...... If a person falls out of love, he can talk about it with another person, but if the talk collapses here, he has no choice! Su Shuang looked at the Gobi outside, who showed no signs of life, and sighed.

Uncle Ma said: "Yes, in fact, in the face of nature, people have no choice at all. For example, you and your body, you are just renting a shell on the earth, and this shell can last for a hundred years at most, and it will be scrapped at any time, and it is not allowed to be replaced......"

These words made Su Shuang fall into deep thought, and after a while, he said quietly: "So, why do I spend so much money to buy a house?" Even this body is rented! ”

Several people were amused.

"Stop the car, is there a bird there!?" Su Shuang suddenly shouted.

"How is that possible?" Several others didn't believe it.

Uncle Ma still stopped the car, and sure enough, not far from the left, there was a small bird with beautiful feathers fluttering on the yellow sand.

Su Shuang moved quickly, rushed up in a few steps, and caught the bird in his hand.

This is a bird about the size of a starling. Bright red and blue feathers catch the eye in the drab desert. This poor little thing may be hungry and thirsty, and it can't fly, and it can't run.

"What a beautiful bird!" Guo Yixin took the bird over and stroked it lovingly, "Take it back to the car, you have to give it some water quickly, it must be thirsty!" ”

"Someone should have brought it in, but I didn't like it and ran out." Uncle Ma said, "It's a blessing to meet us, or it's definitely dead." ”

"Indeed, it is not easy for people to see this kind of place!" Liu Xiaodong looked around, it was far from the road. In fact, there are very few cars passing on the road.

They brought the unknown bird back to the car, and Guo Yixin poured some water from the cap of the mineral water bottle and brought it to its beak. The little bird did not hesitate at all, quickly lowered its head and used its beak to pick up a little water, then raised its head and closed its mouth to swallow the water, after repeating the action of drinking water more than ten times, the bird seemed to have regained some strength, it suddenly flapped its wings, and almost broke free from Guo Yixin's palm.

"Oh, this little thing still has a lot of strength!" Guo Yixin said, and then looked down and found bird feces on the car mat, "I just pulled it on after drinking!" ”

"Sister Xin, give it to me! It now has a nest! Su Shuang stretched out his hand.

Liu Xiaodong and Su Shuang vacated a cardboard box containing mineral water, dug a few small holes in it, and put some bread crumbs in it. The bird is placed in the box.

After settling the lost bird, Uncle Ma started the car and the group continued on their way. Liu Xiaodong wanted to put the carton in the trunk, but Guo Yixin disagreed, so he had to hold the carton himself and check the bird's state from time to time. Perhaps Guo Yixin felt that this little bird, like her, had the experience of being helpless and desperate in the depths of the desert.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the jeep finally arrived at Panda Yadan. They arrived more than two hours later than the previous ones due to the detour.

As before, Liu Xiaodong asked Uncle Ma to park the car in a higher place, and Su Shuang and Uncle Ma were responsible for keeping watch on the car. Here, Liu Xiaodong and Guo Yixin once again observed the Yadan with a mysterious hole.

The evening sky was gray, and except for the chilly breeze blowing on the face, everything seemed to be the same as the previous ones. Liu Xiaodong carefully checked several nearby Yadans, found nothing abnormal, and walked to the "explosion" area again.

The reporter picked up a hoe and once again carpeted the "explosion" area.

A few minutes later, Liu Xiaodong's hoe touched something!

"What is this?!" He dropped his hoe and carefully picked it up. Guo Yixin heard the sound and walked over to him.

It was a bundle of things tied with plastic tape, and since only one layer of scotch tape was used, the contents could be seen clearly. There was a small black plastic box, a small water cup with holes in the outer shell, and a circuit board with wires connected to the ...... in the middle.

Liu Xiaodong's heart sank suddenly! My hand shook involuntarily and I subconsciously held my breath!
