After helping the people in Xizhou finish the matter of Huoyun Needle, Yang Xi also let the big boss of the base stay for a meal.

After all, people came here to fly from Huangshan for their own business, if they didn't even offset the travel expenses for him, it was really not in line with the hospitable habits of the Chinese people, and their base was an official territory, and if others were lying down, they would have to stand alone!

Even if the surrounding environment is not good, the sky is full of yellow sand and black soil, but the materials are transported by the railway line, and they have not been broken at all.

And the people on the side are also quite happy to let this real person stay a little longer-

They have been stationed in Xizhou for several years, and it is rare for them to go back to their homes a few times, and most of the information about the situation in China is known through the Internet and the news from above, which naturally has a "legend" about Yang Xi.

I heard that this big brother is an official partner, and he is still the first in the world in terms of single force value!

So when the big boss invited Yang Xi to visit the base canteen, a large group of idle and bored young soldiers pretended to hold their rice bowls to the side, squinting at Yang Xi, as if looking at monkeys.

Old Ghost Yang didn't care, just listened to the big boss of the base on the opposite side, spitting out the groove that he usually didn't dare to spit out.

After the great change, the climate in Xizhou changed dramatically and became very hot - in spring and winter, the average temperature in various places only remained around 30 °C, but in summer and autumn, the temperature gauge rushed up to break through the 50 °C mark.

If it's just a simple heat, that's fine, humans are actually very endurance creatures, and when they encounter the scorching heat, at most they live like Africans.

However, the heat in Xizhou is not the same as the heat in Bashu, Sichuan and Chongqing, and the latter will give you a tan, but the fire in Xizhou is very powerful, as if it wants to "evaporate" the vitality in the body, and in some places with serious mutations, people, beasts, plants and trees cannot survive.

"Now there is no shadow of the Tarim River, and the rest of the Xizhou rivers have long since dried up and only the riverbed remains, and the population is slowly moving inward...... Life is getting harder and harder. ”

In view of Yang Xi's clarity on the problem of Huoyunshi, the big boss knew that he had received a lot of credit, and the promotion and salary increase were certain, so he was naturally in a good mood, and while he was eating, he also introduced the situation in Xizhou to Yang Xi today.

"Following the line drawn between Hami City and Hotan City, the people in the north have to move away!"

According to the current plan, the official plan is to build a super city in Chang'an, with the Beijing-Tianjin wing, the Yangtze River Delta, the Pearl River Delta and other places, Huaguo has set the location of seven super cities, and is making bold construction.

Yang Xi thought it was okay, at least the two Xizhou business cards of cantaloupe and Hetian jade were kept, and they didn't waste it all at once.

"In this way, you don't even want Urumqi, the capital of Xizhou?" Yang Xi asked the other party while holding a piece of melon and nibbling on it.

"It's not clear, after all, it's such a big city, and it depends on the decision of the people above...... I think it might be transformed into something new in the future, and it will take time to relocate, so it's impossible to say that it will be gone. ”

In the past, in order to carry out the large-scale development of the western region, the official even deliberately invested a good sum of money in Urumqi for construction, but now it has only been a few years, and this kind of thing has come to ...... It is estimated that the leaders above are also annoyed.

"Then you still keep it? I see that this place has run into Xizhou, must it be more uncomfortable?"

"I can't leave it, how can such a large piece of land in Xizhou really be emptied?"

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the western region has been one of several important provincial capitals in China, and several military bases and rocket launch bases are located in this area, and there are so many resources......

"Besides, ordinary people are gone, how can our group of spectators also leave?"

The big boss put down the roasted lamb thigh in his hand and smiled at Yang Xi: "But fortunately, there are fewer people, and there are more resources allocated to us above. ”

As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and there may be a few large bases left in Xizhou in the future, so can you serve them well?

After eating, the big boss will no longer stay, and the two sides happily said a few more words and made a py deal - considering the rich resource reserves in Xizhou, Yang Xi asked the other party to inform himself first when he found something good, and the big boss naturally patted his chest and promised.

Of course, this must have been done legally without violating the law.

However, the big boss also made a new request to Yang Xi.

"You're going to let me go to Lop Nur?"

Yang Xi listened to his words and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What are you doing there?"

He had heard that Lop Nur was the place where the Chinese government was engaged in nuclear bomb fireworks, and if he went, would he come again and die on the spot?

"Something must be asking you to come out!"

The big boss blew away all the people around him, took Yang Xi to a hidden room, and took out a shabby and yellowed map of Xizhou, the location on which was drawn in detail, and a place was specially circled with a red pen.

The big boss pointed to the red circle and said: "This is the ruins of the ancient cities of Lop Nur and Loulan." ”

"Loulan?" When Yang Xi heard this word, he couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.

He had seen Lop Nur before, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the big lake had not yet dried up, and it was still rippling, but Loulan, a country that had lived around Lop Nur for generations, was no longer visible.

The country of Loulan was famous, and it was still in the Han Dynasty, when more than 30 countries in the Western Regions, including Loulan, were subjugated to the feet of the Han Empire at that time and trembled.

Moreover, with the convenience of the Silk Road, Loulan has become one of the richest and most powerful countries in the Western Regions, and has thus become synonymous with the Western Regions in the Central Plains.

Didn't you see that when the people behind them said that they wanted to fight the Western Regions, they all used "Loulan" instead? The Tang people also had the saying that "if Loulan is not broken, it will never be returned...... Every day, some people are worried about beating themselves, but they can wronged Loulan Guo.

However, such a prosperous and prosperous Western Regions power mysteriously disappeared in the 4th century AD, and after that, there are no ancient books that have ever mentioned this country.

As of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Loulan's reputation was still there, but there was only one empty city left standing in the wind, and there was no one in it.

"What's wrong with Loulan?"

The big boss smiled slightly, looking very weird under the dim light, and his fingers also increased the strength of the red circle.

"If I say, the ancient city of Loulan and Lop Nur are ...... What about haunting?"

Lop Nur is a place where China has dropped bombs, and it is impossible for it to be left unguarded.

Until now, even if the weather is bad, there are patrols every day to prevent secrets from being leaked.

And Lop Nur and Loulan are also next to each other, and when you go to Lop Nur, you will inevitably have to go to the gate of the ancient city of Loulan to walk around.

"We had a team go there to reconnoiter as usual, and we haven't returned. ”

The big boss slapped his face, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Later, another force was sent to look for it, and it disappeared as ......"

"I'm afraid that the impact of the news will be too great, and the time will not be long, so I'm just quietly looking for someone...... I thought that since the real person is here, I might as well tell you first, please do me a favor. ”

"Those are all soldiers under my command, others don't care, I hurt so much!" said the big boss, but there was something in his words.

However, he didn't dare to say in detail, for fear that people would catch the pigtails and report it, so he only said to Yang Xi, "Real person, I said this, have you remembered any similar examples?"

Yang Xi scratched his chin and tried to recall, and finally turned out an unsolved mystery about Huaguo's modernity from his memory.

"Lop Nur, Pengamu?"
