Chapter 2 Before the Southward Journey
Before Sun Er finished introducing the situation, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Han Debang laugh: "Haha, this name is so interesting." Feed the pigs! The pigs are fed and it's time to kill and eat meat. ”
Everyone suddenly didn't react, and when they thought about it again, they all burst into laughter.
But it turned out that he was laughing at the sister of the guy who sold information about the ancestral tomb on the Internet, this "Wei Baozhu" suddenly heard that it was not "feeding the pigs"?
People can't help but laugh and sigh that the Chinese language is really broad and profound.
But Han Debang asked again:
"Boss Cao, is your information accurate? Then the descendants of Cao Pi, the king of Wei, should be surnamed Cao, and you have the same surname, how did you become surnamed Wei? Whether it's a pig feeder or a drug addict, is their ancestor really the Cao Pi you're looking for? Make no mistake about it. ”
Cao Longxuan frowned, groaned for a moment, and said:
"It's not that I haven't thought about it, but the news from an old friend that the other party confirmed that he is a descendant of Cao Pi, the king of Wei, and it is unknown whether he changed his surname."
Everyone asked Sun Er if there was any other valuable information, and Cao Longxuan said that there were still some of them, which were exactly what everyone wanted to grasp in detail.
However, he changed his words and said that he had not fully connected with the other party yet, and there was less detailed information, but after all, everyone was going abroad to go deep into the foreign territory of Southeast Asia this time, so they must first grasp the basic situation.
He said that he was not in a hurry to leave now, Bai Yunfei could accompany his mother first, and the others would rest first, and he should take the opportunity to rest and recuperate, through Internet searches, to learn more about and grasp the local situation in the "Golden Triangle", which is the so-called "not to fight an unprepared battle".
He pointed out that it was up to him to plan the equipment, and everyone needed to prepare for the departure, such as physical training, familiarization and proficiency in the use of new equipment, and the main thing was to grasp the basic situation of the destination they were about to go to.
According to Cao Longxuan's arrangement, everyone systematically learned about the situation in the "Golden Triangle" area during the recuperation period.
The "Golden Triangle" refers to a triangular area located in the border areas of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia, which is famous all over the world because of the long-term abundance of opium and other drugs in the world.
The Thai government erected an archway engraved with the words "Golden Triangle" at the junction of the three countries, so this area is called the "Golden Triangle".
The "Golden Triangle" roughly covers Shan State and Kachin State in northern Myanmar, Chiang Rai Province and Chiang Mai Province in northern Thailand, and Luang Namtha Province, Phongsali, Oudomxay Province and Luang Prabang Province in western Laos, with a total of more than 3,000 villages and towns.
The "Golden Triangle" region is closed to traffic and mountains, with a total area of about 15-200,000 square kilometers.
The undulating mountains form a three-dimensional climate, and when the people at the foot of the mountain are very hot, the people at the top of the mountain may have to surround the fire pit to resist the cold, and the natural conditions in the high-altitude areas are relatively poor, and people's lives are more difficult.
The average altitude of the region is 1500-3000 meters, the land is fertile, and the climate is warm and humid.
The long hours of sunshine in the subtropics allow there to be enough sunlight here to promote the growth of all kinds of plants, Southeast Asia
In summer, the southwest monsoon brings a large amount of hot and humid water from the sea to form a wet season, and the dry season is formed when the northern dry and cold monsoon belt is affected by the east season, and this periodic change regulates the rhythm of local organisms.
The climate of long sunshine, low latitude and high humidity in Southeast Asia is very easy for animals and plants to grow and reproduce, which in turn forms a unique local rainforest climate, resulting in biological diversity here.
The Mekong River is another important geographical reason for the formation of the "Golden Triangle", which flows straight south from Qinghai in northwest China, passing through six countries: China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia.
The 4,009-kilometre-long Mekong River cuts off the lofty mountains of Southeast Asia, and the numerous deep valleys and turbulent tributaries between the mountains have created countless canyons and cliffs, forming a large traffic blind spot.
Due to the above special geographical reasons, the "Golden Triangle" region has few economic and cultural ties with the developed regions, and it is difficult for the central government of the relevant countries to exercise in-depth or effective control over the "Golden Triangle" period for a long time.
However, the favorable climatic conditions for crop production, coupled with the particularity and complexity of the topography, landform and geographical climate, have created an excellent place for the survival and reproduction of many ethnic groups in this region, as well as for all kinds of separatist forces, regional forces or ethnic armed forces.
What is even more unimaginable is that this backward and narrow blind spot is constantly exuding energy that corrodes civilized society, tenaciously announcing its existence to the world.
The complex geography, the complex peoples, and the deformed forces have created an excellent stage for the mystical stories staged here.
In recent years, the most famous incident that has occurred in the "Golden Triangle" region is the "Mekong River Massacre", which has caused a sensation in the world.
The Mekong tragedy refers to the attack on two merchant ships, the "Hua Binh" and "Yuxing 8", in the waters of the "Golden Triangle" of the Mekong River on the morning of October 5, 2011. As a result of this incident, all six Chinese crew members on board the "Huaping" and seven Chinese crew members on the "Yuxing 8" were killed, and one of them was missing.
On the afternoon of October 28, 2011, Thailand said that the suspects were nine soldiers belonging to the "Phra Mang" military camp in Thailand's Third Military Region. On April 25 this year, the "10.5" case joint task force arrested the main culprit in the case of Nuo Kham, the main culprit in Boqiao Province, Laos.
When everyone learns this, they can't help but put a layer of dark clouds on their hearts.
You must know that although several countries in the region have independent sovereign governments, due to the particularities mentioned above, there is always a chance of vicious cases such as the "Mekong River tragedy".
To explore such a place and find the treasures left by the ancient ancestors, you can imagine what difficulties you will face.
Not only do you have to face the abnormal climate, extreme geographical environment, special biological chains, and unpredictable ancient tombs, but you are also more likely to encounter national armed forces that have no legal reason to talk about, and you can't even talk about the nation, which is simply an underworld force.
This operation can be described as ferocious
The danger is unknown, life and death are unpredictable.
During this period, Cao Longxuan obtained the "individual combat system" exhibited at the 2000 French Infantry Exhibition through complicated channels, which was a good thing that was exchanged for a lot of blood, and made retired soldiers like Bai Yunfei and Niu Gang, as well as Han Debang, a hardcore military fan, so happy that his mouth was crooked.
Because Cao Longxuan knew that the place where Bai Yunfei was going this time was even more dangerous, the poisonous insects and beasts in the rainforest, voodoo miasma, if they were not well protected, let alone fighting upside down, they might have to hang up before they even walked to the door.
That's why he didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to arm everyone to the teeth in terms of equipment to ensure that he could complete this underground palace exploration mission more safely and smoothly.
However, the "individual combat system", such as equipment played in science fiction movies, must be used when it is extremely needed, because some of the poison filtering parts in it have a service life, and there are not many spare parts, so Bai Yunfei still has to use conventional equipment.
This "individual combat system" looks like a spacesuit worn by astronauts, and it has the functions of bulletproof, explosion-proof, anti-nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, biological weapons, mine detection, satellite positioning, wireless communications, and infrared night vision.
Wearing it, it's like an invincible robot in a science fiction movie.
IN ADDITION, HE ALSO EQUIPPED EVERYONE WITH "OUTBACK" SLEEPING BAGS, FINNISH-MADE "SUUNTO" SPORTS WATCHES, BOXED SNAKE PILLS OF A CERTAIN BRAND, STRONG MOSQUITO REPELLENT, AND OTHER ESSENTIAL EQUIPMENT AND MEDICINES FOR WILD JUNGLE ADVENTURES.
According to the suggestions of Wang Ziming, Bai Yunfei and Niu Gang, Cao Longxuan made a lot of effort to get a very good equipment.
That is, equip everyone with a new type of individual fire-breathing weapon to deal with the beasts and mosquitoes that appear in large numbers.
This new type of individual flamethrower weapon is more advanced than the domestic individual flamethrower.
Instead of using up all the fuel and pressure of a fuel cylinder in a single spray, like the "Type 74" flamethrower, it can be erupted in multiple bursts.
The hardness of the oil cylinder is harder, and the "74 type" flamethrower must generate a pressure of 30 air pressures per cylinder when it is spraying fire, so as to inject the fuel to a distance of 40-45 meters.
For example, a household pressure cooker generally has a maximum pressure unit of 3-4, while a flamethrower cylinder pressure unit is 28-35, so there is no problem in resisting ordinary rifle bullets.
Including Bai Yunfei and Niu Gang, they didn't use flamethrowers when they were in the army, because the army is divided into branches and arms, and not all equipment you can access.
For example, this flamethrower, in the structure and establishment of our army, is only equipped with anti-chemical warfare troops.
Even if you are in the same company, you may be a chemical defense scout or a chemical defense decontamination soldier, then you can only operate and use weapons and equipment within your professional scope, and it is impossible for you to use a flamethrower.
For this reason, everyone also went to the suburbs deep in the mountains to train in the use of flamethrowers to adapt to this very domineering outfit
Prepare.
With this invulnerable individual weapon, coupled with a new flamethrower, high-imitation individual weapons and high-explosive explosives supplied through special channels after leaving the country, everyone is simply an all-terrain all-weather combat robot!
With such a strong team, it is no longer an expedition team, this is completely a sci-fi blockbuster with the participation of a high-end alien team.
After making sufficient preparations, the people loaded these equipment, plus a large motorboat, into a large van, and the personnel took two escort vehicles and marched towards Yunnan.
The destination that everyone wants to go to is the place where Dulongjiang is about to leave Yunnan in Yunnan.
The Dulong River flows southeast through the west of Dulong Nu Autonomous County in Gongshan, Yunnan, and then turns southwest in Dulongjiang Township, enters Myanmar, and flows south through Jiagang, called Enmei Kaijiang.
The Nme Khai River is called the Irrawaddy River when it joins the Maid Khai River, which originates in the mountains of northern Myanmar and is about 50 kilometers north of Myitkyina.
The whole basin is surrounded by the western mountains and the Shan State Plateau, and is in the shape of a long strip from north to south, and the estuary section is a fan-shaped delta.
The group will have to find the right time and location at the first destination, cross the river and exit the country, step into the foreign border, and then go deep into the hinterland to reach the place where the clue provider, the uneducated and unskilled self-proclaimed descendant of the King of Wei, is located.
Only after finding this person can the crowd determine the precise course of action for the next step.
