According to Xia Qing, it is very likely that Liu Blind deliberately concealed some facts, that is, the fact that the coordinates provided by the observatory were useless.

In this way, the fate of the small team composed of elite personnel from the 101 Institute has actually been decided before they have even set off, and they will all disappear into this terrifying Gobi.

This may be exactly what Liu Blind expected, why did he do this? Aren't there still his students among those elites?

Everyone looked at Liu Blind, thinking about such a question in their hearts, and the most direct answer is probably that Liu Blind is too selfish, because he has long been marginalized by 101, he is no longer in a key position, so he wants to use this way to get rid of the main elite personnel of 101, and then return to 101 in a grand manner, and be reused.

Everyone was looking for the answer in their hearts, and in their opinion, this might be the true intention of Liu Blind.

However, there is always a gravitational force that tends to be evil, which always drives people to think of others as more evil and insidious, but they never refuse to believe that seemingly evil people actually have their own unspeakable grievances.

At this moment, Liu Blind has his own unspeakable hardships.

Fortunately, Xia Qing was still waiting for him to explain, and if he was willing to explain, there would be another chance for him to clarify the facts.

Liu's blind man's face became particularly solemn in the moonlight.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Why didn't I tell Wang Lianba the truth, if you want to know the reason, then I have to start with an incident more than 20 years ago......

He looked into the distance again, as if he had returned to the distant past.

One day more than 20 years ago, the 101st Institute received a temporary order from the higher authorities to urgently seconded a scientific researcher from the institute. In addition to being reliable, credible, and loyal to the party, the most important requirement is to have a good understanding of the Gobi Desert in Lop Nur.

So the 101 Institute immediately assigned Liu Blind, and after informing him on the same day, he was sent to a designated secret location.

Liu Blind recalled. At that time, he was even blindfolded with a black cloth, and he couldn't sleep when he shook in the carriage, and he was so sick and dizzy that he didn't know how many times he vomited, and finally he even vomited when he drank water, and he had never suffered such a crime.

Fortunately, when he arrived at his destination, he was still alive, so he was immediately arranged to meet some people.

Liu Blind recalled that there were seven of them. The personality is quite easy-going, only the captain of the leader is not good at talking, his surname is Peng, and others call him Captain Peng.

Captain Peng didn't talk to him much, but asked him to help them complete his mission as much as possible, and as for what their mission was, he explained it very generally, probably saying that they were looking for a location in the Gobi. There may be some kind of mineral source there.

At that time, China was struggling to find large-scale uranium mines, which are the main raw materials for making nuclear weapons. Therefore, such exploration tasks are generally very secret, and of course Liu Blind also knows some such things, so he secretly guesses that the main purpose of these people should be to go to the Gobi Desert to find uranium ore, a raw material for making nuclear weapons.

Since this is the case, Liu Blind did not ask any more. He only followed a few pre-operation mobilization meetings, during which he learned that the operation was codenamed Pisces, and the route of operation was not clear, and it was said that some kind of imported expensive equipment would be used. in order to find the source of the mine.

In this way, Liu Blind lived with these people for about a week, and the relationship between them slowly became familiar, but Liu Blind recalled that Captain Peng always kept a certain distance from everyone in the team, he did not smile, he did not talk much, and everyone in the team rarely talked about him, as if their relationship was not so harmonious.

After spending a week together, they finally set off.

The location of their departure is not clear, from the outside, it is just an ordinary underground air-raid shelter, but Liu Blind knows how to watch the stars at night, so he can use his knowledge to probably determine that the place where they live should be in the northeast corner of the entire Gobi Desert, that is, near the current "Beishan" base.

They set off in two cars, one of which was a truck loaded with diesel, equipment, and food supplies needed for the road, and the other was a jeep, and seven people sat in two cars, and drove all the way to the southwest side.

About a day after departure, Liu Blind found some problems, mainly their direction of travel is simply aimless, most of the time, the instrument in the jeep does not have any reading, they only casually move towards the general southwest direction, and then at a certain moment the instrument may suddenly sound, they will correct their direction and continue to drive forward.

Looking for a mineral deposit in the Gobi in this way, although Liu Blind didn't say anything on the surface, he was beating a drum in his heart, which was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, how could he succeed?

He even began to worry about the future and fate of this mysterious scientific research team, you know, although there are seven of them, and they still have enough equipment and supplies, but if they continue to advance like this, they will soon enter the hinterland of the Gobi Desert, and once they encounter any unpredictable extreme weather, even the gods will probably die here.

Fortunately, Liu Blind found that after entering the Gobi Desert, this Captain Peng would often ask him some questions, and sometimes he would listen to his suggestions very modestly, and take corresponding actions after adopting them.

So Liu Blind revealed his views to Captain Peng, intentionally or unintentionally, hoping to make clear the fatal risks that might be encountered in the Gobi and wake them not to blindly enter the Gobi hinterland to look for mineral deposits, because if this way continues, this operation can basically be declared a failure.

However, on this issue, Captain Peng is very stubborn, he insists that as long as they venture into the hinterland, they will definitely find what they are looking for, in his words, everything for the motherland, even if they give up their lives, they must resolutely complete the task.

Although Blind Liu was moved by Captain Peng's fearless spirit of sacrificing his life, he slowly found that the rest of the team was becoming more and more impatient, and they thought completely different from Captain Peng.

Some people will complain behind Captain Peng's back, and this situation is becoming more and more frequent, and they will even talk to "outsiders" like Blind Liu about Captain Peng.
