The Tarim Desert Highway has a total length of 522 kilometers, of which 446 kilometers are in mobile desert.

Ye Xuan has always felt that it is an incredible thing to be able to complete the construction of this highway in 3 years. You know, this is a real road across the entire Taklamakan Desert, since its construction, at least hundreds of large and small sandstorms, but still intact entrenched in the desert.

Such a project has to be admired.

It was about five o'clock in the evening that he was completely on the side of the road.

The vegetation on both sides is very dense, with neat patches of reeds on the outermost part, and then camel thorns and poplar trees gradually inward.

Walking through it, Ye Xuan pointed to the vegetation on both sides of the highway and said, "Taklamakan is a mobile desert, and every year the entire desert will continue to advance inland with the wind. In this case, the road is likely to be completely buried under the desert within a year. The reeds and poplar trees lining both sides of the road are actually an ecological fence that prevents the desert from spreading and protects the road from sandstorms. ”

This green belt, however, stretches all the way along the road, and the annual cost of watering these plants alone is more than 20 million. For this purpose, a water house is built every 5 kilometers on the road, which is guarded 365 days a year by rangers who are responsible for watering the vegetation within 5 kilometers of their own road every day.

"Desert roads are relatively scarce, especially in the hinterland of the desert, except for the vehicles responsible for delivering fresh vegetables to the rangers, only self-driving tourists remain. ”

Sitting under a poplar tree, Ye Xuan took out the kettle, took a sip, and then continued: "In the desert road, it is actually normal not to see a car all day. If I don't have a car tonight, I'm afraid I'll have to spend the night here. ”

Seeing that he said that he might have to spend the night here, the audience in the live broadcast room was of course happy to hear it, and they wished that Ye Xuan would broadcast live for a few more days.

After all, when he goes back, the next broadcast may take more than ten days.

"Haha, patriarch, you can take bus 11 back. ”

"the bus, there's a bus in the desert, it's amazing. ”

"Good girl, your IQ is really head-catching. ”

"I'm looking forward to the next episode. ”

"+10086! It feels like the patriarch will go to the Amazon rainforest. ”

"I'm betting on a pack of spicy strips, and it's supposed to be the Rocky Mountains. ”

"The first phase is the rainforest, the second phase is the desert, and according to the urine nature of the patriarch, the third phase should be a snow-capped mountain. ”

"You guys are excited, the patriarch didn't say that he would definitely go abroad, right?"

Shen TM takes bus 11.

He is now almost in the middle of the desert road, and the nearest county is at least 200 kilometers along the road.

The sunset behind him gradually set in the west, and Ye Xuan felt the temperature around him begin to drop, "Wait for another 2 hours, if there is no vehicle passing by, I will go to the nearby ranger to borrow it for one night." ”

In order to maintain the ecological fence on the side of the road, a watering and boosting station has been set up every 5 kilometers on the desert road, and there are special forest rangers living in it all year round.

After yesterday's sandstorm, the temperature in the desert plummeted, and the night had dropped to minus four or five degrees, and he was awakened several times by freezing last night, and each time he had to relight the campfire before he could continue to sleep. So you might as well go to the ranger for a night and maybe have dinner and a hot shower.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar of an engine in the distance of the road.

"There's a car coming!"

Ye Xuan looked overjoyed, hurriedly stood up, and walked quickly to the side of the road. When he was two or three meters away from the road, he stopped and explained: "Remember to stop a car on a desert road, don't get too close to the road. Because desert roads are scarce and pedestrians are barely visible, the speed of the cars is very fast. There are even many people who come here every year to drag race. ”

Everywhere else, speed limits are in place. But here, there is no surveillance, no traffic police, if you want to be awesome, you don't care if you drive to 300 miles. In particular, this section of the road into the hinterland of the desert is the most ideal place for domestic drag racing parties.

Of course, there are quite a few accidents caused by drag racing every year.

Mainly because there are few vehicles and there are no pedestrians, the average driver will be very relaxed and will not be very focused. According to statistics, the fatality rate of hitting pedestrians at a speed of more than 80 kilometers is as high as 70%, and when the speed exceeds 100 kilometers, the fatality rate is 100%.

The speed of the vehicles here is generally above 100 kilometers.

That's why Ye Xuan was so cautious, he didn't want to joke with his own life.

As he spoke, the car was already in view.

It's a black SUV that's very fast. Seeing the car getting closer and closer, Ye Xuan hurriedly beckoned.

As a result, the car did not mean to stop at all, the speed did not decrease, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly took a few steps back.

The SUV whizzed past him, and the strong wind picked up the sand on the side of the road, hitting his face painfully.

"It seems that the owner of this car is not very friendly. Ye Xuan rubbed the part of his face that was hit by the sand, a little depressed.

He just waved from a long distance, and the owner of the car would definitely be able to see it in advance. But there is no way, you can't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic, or maybe others are afraid of being robbed. After all, this section of the road is very remote, there is no surveillance footage, and to be honest, after a few days of crawling in the depths of the desert, his current image is really unpleasant.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room posted barrage ridicule.

Returning to the poplar tree, Ye Xuan sighed and said, "Since you said to wait for 2 hours, then wait a little longer!"

As the sun sets, night begins to cover the land.

Ye Xuan stood up and collected some dead branches around him, and quickly lit a bonfire. Feeling the temperature from the campfire, he smiled: "It's dark now, in case a car passes by, this campfire can attract the driver's attention." ”

Time passed little by little in the small talk, and he glanced at the time on his mobile phone and found that it was already more than 8 o'clock, so he decided not to wait.

On the desert road itself, there are no vehicles at night, and even if someone finds him, he will not stop.

In the middle of the night, in the wilderness and uninhabited Taklamakan Desert, there was a man who was extremely embarrassed and waved to stop the car.

Ye Xuan asked himself, if he were the driver of the car, I am afraid that he would not stop.

It seems that the only way to stay with the ranger for one night is to find a way to get back tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan stood up and was about to put on his backpack when the roar of a car came from the distance again.

Soon, two bright lights appeared in the distance.

Seeing the headlights getting closer and closer, he didn't even bother to step forward, just waved his hand symbolically.

It is estimated that at such a distance, and it is night, the owner should not be able to see him.

But to his surprise, the car gradually slowed down, and finally stopped more than ten meters in front of him.

It really stopped!

This is a Wrangler with good off-road performance and should be considered one of the most popular cars in desert terrain. It seems that he is a road trip enthusiast who has come to experience the desert atmosphere.

Just when he was stunned, the driver's door was opened, and a pair of straight and slender beautiful legs stepped out under the light, and then in the surprised eyes of Ye Xuan and the audience in the live broadcast room, a tall beauty slowly walked out of the car. The beauty is wearing a little cool, with a pure white T-shirt on her upper body, slim jeans on her lower body, and a pair of Gaobang cowboy boots on her feet. This dress is dressed up, and the pair of straight and slender legs are set off vividly.

In Ye Xuan's impression, the Wrangler, a sturdy and rugged off-road vehicle, is generally a man with a wild heart. I didn't expect that it was a sexy beauty who was driving.

Anyway, whether it's a man or a woman, it's always a ride.

"Hey, thank you so much, beauty. Putting on his backpack, Ye Xuan rushed forward quickly and thanked with a smile on his face.

Suddenly seeing him rushing up, this beauty seemed to be very surprised, and then in Ye Xuan's puzzled gaze, she quickly took out something from her pocket, raised her hand and sprayed towards Ye Xuan.
