Such "devil's towns" can be found everywhere on the edge of Lop Nur and spread all the way to the hinterland of Xinjiang in the west. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Its peculiar landform is the result of geological changes and natural wind carving and sand cutting, and it is a masterpiece of nature. The entire Yadan landform group is of different heights and is staggered and orderly, as if the meticulous layout of the ingenious designer.

Each Yadan landform has its own form, strange, vivid, some like a lion, some like a pagoda, like a wheat stack, some like a peacock looking into the distance, some like an eagle with wings ready to fly, some like a fleet riding the wind and waves, and some like a slim beauty......

After this section, the road ahead suddenly became flat, but it didn't look like an asphalt road, and the driver said that the surface of the Lop Nur area was basically a thick layer of salt crust.

This road is actually a "highway" when the salt crust is poured with water, and after the salt crust is softened, it is flattened with a road roller, and when the salt crust dries, it becomes a "highway".

It didn't take long for us to arrive in the town of Lop Nur. The full name of this town is a bit long, it is called Lop Nur Town, Ruoqiang County, Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China.

Lop Nur town can be called a desert town, it belongs to Ruoqiang County, the largest county in China, located in the hinterland of Lop Nur, the natural environment is harsh, the whole town and the surrounding areas are highly saline desertification salt crust, not a single inch of grass grows, climate change is impermanent.

The establishment of the town government should be a product of the large-scale development of the western region, and it is intended to support China's largest potash base in the jurisdiction. The town planning area covers an area of four square kilometers, with a total population of about 200 people, all of whom are floating population.

There is only one town government, one police station, and one road maintenance station in the township. There are no streets in the town, but there are a few adobe houses, a few simple sheds, a supermarket and a few small restaurants on the side of the dirt road, which serve the large truck drivers who come to the potash mine to pull goods.

Therefore, Lop Nur is definitely the largest and smallest town in China.

After just a few minutes of walking through the town, our car drove into the mining area of Salt and Potash Technology Development Co., Ltd., which seemed to have no protective measures, but it was actually loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

The mining area is criss-crossed and divided into blocks of operation areas, and there are secret sentinels at every intersection to guard at any time, and the car is unobstructed all the way, until it stops in front of the innermost bungalow.

The house is very ordinary, with a huge iron gate in the middle, which looks like the door of a garage, and several people suddenly come out of the rooms on both sides, although they are all wearing mining work clothes, but these people are obviously not ordinary workers.

These people stared at us with scrutinizing eyes, and one of them walked over, and the strong man who drove handed him the documents, and said at the same time: "Lao Zhao, you guys have a straight face every day, are you tired, no matter what we say, we have known each other for more than ten years, can't you give your brother a smile?" ”

The man named Lao Zhao still looked like water, returned the documents to the strong man, and said lightly: "Get out." ”

Then, he raised his hand to the iron door and pressed the remote control in his hand.

After a creaking sound, the iron door opened upwards, revealing a black underground passage.

The strong man didn't say anything, drove the car down the passage, and after the car went down a few dozen meters, he turned a corner, and a huge parking lot appeared in front of him.

It's like the underground parking lot of a large supermarket, brightly lit, densely parked with vehicles, all of them are off-road vehicles, and if you look carefully at the license plates, almost all of them are military license plates.

The car turned a corner and drove directly to the edge of the parking lot, and when I got out of the car, I found that there were already people waiting here.

It's just that the lighting here is a little dim, and you can barely see this person wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses, and at first glance he looks like a person who has been engaged in research work for a long time. But he is still wearing a green military uniform under his white coat, which makes his identity a little mysterious.

Just when I felt that this person was a little familiar, Li Dong suddenly said, "Master Lu, we are here." ”

I rely on land, sea and air

I looked at it, and the white coat in front of me was not Lu Haikong, he actually had his hair cut open, and he wore glasses, and even his beard was shaved clean.

What is he going to do? I was stunned when he came over, slapped me the shoulder, and then said aloud, "Yes, you kid has been getting more and more good lately." Let's go, follow me to meet someone first. ”

Before I could recover my senses, he dragged me into a door next to me, and when I entered, I realized that it was actually an elevator. Li Dong then followed, the elevator door closed automatically, and he didn't see him press the switch, and the elevator began to run.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness made me feel a little uncomfortable, and at the same time, I felt that the elevator was very fast. I don't know where it leads, but it's definitely going down, and from the ever-increasing speed, I can tell that it has now descended to at least thirty floors deep.

After another dozen seconds, the elevator slowly stopped, and when we came out of it, we saw a metal passage.

There were guards on both sides of the passage, and when they saw Lu Haikong, they immediately saluted him, Lu Haikong took out a card and scratched it in the card drawer on the wall.

Later, one of the guards handed me and Li Dong a badge and motioned for us to wear them on our chests.

I took it and looked at it, and it was just a code of English and numbers, and nothing else.

After wearing the badge, we followed the land, sea and air through several similar passages, and along the way we saw many iron doors similar to the cabin, all with manual door locks like steering wheels.

The nameplate of the iron gate is also full of English abbreviations, I don't know what it means, every time we pass through a passage, you can see the guards, but no one checks our identity again.

When I was dizzy by him, Lu Haikong finally stopped in front of an iron door, and when the iron door was opened, there was a room similar to a laboratory inside.

There is a lot of space inside, and there are several partitions made of frosted glass in the middle, and various instruments in large laboratories can be seen everywhere here.

Lu Haikong took us to the innermost room, which was an ordinary office, and there was an old man sitting behind the desk, about sixty years old, with his white hair meticulously combed back, also wearing glasses and a white coat.

Seeing us come in, the old man got up to greet him, Lu Haikong shook hands with him, and introduced: "This is Professor Yu of the 507 Research Institute of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who enjoys the special government allowance of the State Council and has won the National Major Contribution Award. Yu Lao also has an identity, he is Ah Sheng's adoptive father. ”

This pile of titles smashed me dizzy, and suddenly heard the words "Ah Sheng's adoptive father", and my heart was excited. Although I knew that Ah Sheng had such an adoptive father, I didn't expect to meet him like this.

I hurriedly bowed to the professor and said hello, and at the same time told me about my relationship with Ah Sheng, and under the gesture of Lu Haikong, I simply told him about Ah Sheng.

Professor Yu's eyes have been red since Lu Haikong mentioned Ah Sheng's name, he has long known that Ah Sheng has passed away, but he doesn't know the specific situation, at this time, after listening to me tell Ah Sheng's experience, he immediately burst into tears and cried bitterly.

The loss of a child in old age, the white-haired person sending the black-haired person, a great sorrow in life, we don't know how to comfort it, we can only grieve with the old man sadly.

Professor Yu quickly calmed down and told us some things about Ah Sheng's past.

Since his father's death, Ah Sheng has been adopted by Professor Yu, and he has been cultivating Ah Sheng into a high-achieving student. Ah Sheng's experience since he was a child has led to his withdrawn personality, and even Professor Yu doesn't understand his thoughts.

Ah Sheng never mentioned what happened when he was a child, when he was admitted to university, Professor Yu wanted to send him to study business administration abroad, but he didn't expect to insist on choosing a geology major, but he didn't have any explanation when asked, which made the old man very puzzled.

Professor Yu's 507 Institute is actually a department specializing in the study of special functions and mysterious events. However, the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense has long been renamed the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, and the 507 Institute has also become the Institute of Aerospace Medical Engineering.

Except for the Pisces Jade Pendant incident more than 20 years ago, the institute has basically been in a state of stagnation in recent years, and there are occasional mysterious incidents, but they are all trivial things, which cannot be compared with the discoveries of that year.

After graduating from Ah Sheng's university, he strongly asked Professor Yu to arrange him in the 507 Institute, and began to investigate the long-sealed Pengamu incident......
