Police Detective

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the car entered the sand.

Before entering the sand, each vehicle was hung with a high red flag to facilitate identification in the desert.

The Tengger Desert is as large as seven magic cities, and most of it is composed of moving sand dunes.

Soon after entering, all mobile phones lost signal, but Zhang Wei's car had a satellite phone, and everyone's walkie-talkies worked.

In recent years, the infrastructure construction of the motherland has been really great. For the first few dozen kilometers into the desert, we have been running on very flat asphalt roads. After arriving at the destination, everyone took the initiative to leave the hardened roads.

After leaving the hardened road, first deflate the tires.

Zhang Wei's car has inflatable equipment and needs to be re-inflated after leaving the sand area.

After deflation, the contact area between the sand tire and the sand is greatly increased, making it less likely to sink.

No matter how good the car is, once it enters the sandy area, it will give people an unsteady feeling. The wheels will obviously be a little difficult to control, and it will feel slippery and difficult to control.

In this place, if you step on the accelerator as soon as you get up, if you don't have good control, you can dig a hole and leave your car in place.

This feeling of instability and unsteadiness can stimulate people's adrenaline, which is also the fun of driving in the desert.

In the evening, everyone stayed with a herdsman who had made an appointment before.

Many places for accommodation have been built here, and many people come to play and stay here during this season every year.

After eating, some felt tired and went back to rest. Bai Song made an appointment with Xinqiao, left here, and walked into the desert.

The sand had cooled down, so Bai Song wore a special coat and brought one to Xinqiao.

Few people may know how beautiful the starry sky in the desert is.

There are no clouds or light pollution, and the Milky Way falls clearly into the sky.

"How do you feel?" Xinqiao looked around: "Don't go too far. There is nothing nearby. It's scary."

"Let's just go here." Bai Song found a place on the top of a sand dune and scattered things around.

"Sulfur?" Xinqiao felt uncomfortable smelling it.

"You know the goods!" Bai Song said: "I prepared a lot before coming here. It is said that there are Alxa vipers, flower-striped snakes, Eastern sand pythons, red sand pythons, and chess-spotted water here."

"Tai, Tai, Tai, why did you call me over?" Xinqiao panicked when he heard these names.

"Nothing else, come on, raise your head." Bai Song pointed upward.

"Look up?" Xinqiao raised his head and looked at the starry sky for twenty seconds: "This... is indeed different from the one in Shangjing. It turns out that the universe is like this!"

After saying that, Xinqiao's mood improved for some reason.

"The stars are beautiful wherever they are~" Bai Song felt very happy at this moment.

Living in the steel forest for a long time, due to severe light pollution, the stars cannot be seen at all.

An unexpected incident occurred in Jianguo. A large city on the west coast suddenly experienced an unexpected power outage.

After the power outage, the entire city went dark. People who had lived here for many years suddenly saw many bright lights flashing in the sky, so many people called the police, saying they had seen alien UFOs attacking the earth.

"It's so beautiful." Xinqiao leaned closer to the white pine: "Look at these, sometimes I feel that we are so tired all day long for what we are doing, and we might as well find a small town to live our whole life."

"I do," Bai Song said with a smile, "Starlight or lights, whichever you like, we will choose."

"Aren't you on your way?" Xinqiao asked.

"My path has always been for you."

"Where did you learn so many earthy love words?" Xinqiao did not accept this trick: "Could it be Wang Liang who told you again?"

"I will never listen to Wang Liang again in this life." Bai Song shook his head: "What I said is true."

"Well, it will be the same after you go back. You have to balance work and rest. It's not difficult to go to Beijing, and you don't necessarily have to come here." Xinqiao said: "Don't put so much pressure on yourself."

"A person like me." Bai Song suddenly felt very comfortable: "Although I can't save the world like Stanislav Petrov, I will definitely leave something in this world."

the next day.

Today's plan is a little crazier than yesterday. We plan to go deeper. From here, we will cross dozens of kilometers in one go to reach another non-paved road.

It is an unpaved road that few people walk. It was built with stones and desert sand many years ago. I heard that the scenery is particularly beautiful and there are many desert plants.

One good thing about being in the desert area is that you basically don’t need to check the weather forecast, it will definitely be sunny. We asked the hotel owner here for advice on this road, and he said there was no problem, so we set off.

Driving in the desert is not fast and requires a lot of skills. The tire pressure should be half of the normal value. Switch to the second to third gear of the manual transmission. Continue to refuel when going uphill. Release the accelerator at the top of the slope. Refuel appropriately when going downhill. Do not release the accelerator during the entire process. Once the car is stuck, do not continue to press the accelerator.

In addition, because everyone is a novice, try to avoid the back of the big crucian carp and the knife edge slope, and have a good mental quality.

Challenging roads tend to have greater fun.

On the way, Wang Huadong's car experienced a pit, and an inflatable jack was used, but it was a near miss.

You cannot tow in this kind of place, as it can easily trap the vehicle in front of you.

Once on the hardened non-paved road, everyone felt like they were reborn after a disaster.

It's an exaggeration to say that, but it's true. Driving out of the desert and seeing traces of human civilization, it felt like a long drought met with rain.

Because there was only one air pump but sixteen tires, everyone took a long break to finish it.

"There is a car coming from a distance." Bai Song looked at the dust in the distance.

"Let's all get in the car, otherwise we will be covered in dirt as soon as they pass by." Zhang Wei said: "This road is also relatively wide. They will pass by first. Let's clean up and set off directly."

"Okay." Bai Song looked at the time. It was the hottest time of the day at noon. He had been packing the inflatables under the car for a long time. He was already sweating. He drank a bottle of water in one breath before getting in the car.

The car had the air conditioner on all the time and the fuel was still half full, so it was fine. Bai Song frowned as he looked at the approaching convoy in the distance.

Everyone’s car has a small red flag, which can be seen from a long distance away. You clearly saw a convoy camping here, so why are you driving so fast?

Not long after, two old Jiangling pickup trucks arrived nearby, and then began to brake, bringing a lot of sand and dust.

One of them drove directly to the front of the convoy, while the other stopped behind.

This is not a good way to say hello.

"Lock the car door. Girls, don't get out of the car. Gay men, come with me to see what's going on. Have you encountered any robbers?" Bai Song said to everyone on the intercom radio station.

"Bring a guy?" Everyone has some basic engineering shovels and the like.

"Take it with you." Bai Song said, "Be prepared for any danger."
