Chapter 203 Departure

The next day!

Lin Bafang and the others took the car arranged by the unit and rushed to a small town on the edge of the desert. It is said that it is a small town on the edge of the desert, but with today's developed transportation, the small town has become a tourist destination.

The small town is as lively as a market. The outside of the town is full of yellow sand, but the road inside the town is a cement road, which is very clean. Sand prevention work has been done around it. In addition to Populus euphratica, there are There are some wind and sand mesh.

"There are many historical records in this small town. We found from the literature that this small town was moved here from the time of Loulan. Their ancestors lived here for generations. Now after the reform and opening up, life here is getting better and better. The average Residents in the town earn more than 5 to [-] yuan a year." Fang Tianlong said to his colleagues behind him and Lin Bafang: "Let's go here, find an old guide, and then set off."

"It's not bad here. There are a lot of self-driving tours. The street is full of food. Why don't you go find a guide first. The three of us go shopping here and eat something." Lin Bafang looked at the skewers here. Roasted, the savory taste, began to slander.

"I want to be with you too," said Xiaofang, a doctoral scientist in biology.

"Okay, I'll go find the guide, and I'll call you in a while." Fang Tianlong, an old man wearing glasses, said to the young men.

"Go, go, Qianmeng, let's go, treat you to kebabs!" Lin Bafang pulled Situ Qianmeng, the most mature beauty, and said.

Since there is a Silk Road in the desert here, NMG mutton and goat milk are mainly sold near here, so if you want to eat mutton, this is the cheapest place.The reason why food is cheap is that the transportation cost it pays is not high. If it is transported to some coastal cities, the transportation cost is high, and the food price will rise accordingly.

"The mutton from NMG is all fresh, [-] yuan and [-] skewers, [-] yuan and [-] skewers!" The hawkers on the street kept shouting.

Ten yuan and eight skewers, I have to say, is really not cheap. When you buy it, you will find that there are only three or four pieces of small, thin lamb. So, you get what you pay for, ten Eight strings of yuan, almost like this, buy dozens of strings, one twenty or thirty strings, eat enough.

Fang Tianlong and a few colleagues under the leadership of the urban area, with the guides he had contacted early in the morning, as well as the camel breeders, fought for this job before noon, entered the desert, and started their hard work.

Their work is not only for the contribution to the country, but also a pursuit in their hearts, looking for lost civilizations, excavating the history of human civilization, perfecting historical records, and making public the treasures buried in the ground for thousands of years, so that more human beings To understand its civilization, let more human beings know where today's civilization comes from.

"Old Fang, the climate is a little unstable now, and the place you entered is a place that can change at any time. In the past few decades, none of the people who entered that place can come back alive. Better." The mayor of this small town received a call from Fang Tianlong early in the morning, and met several times, and talked about many work-related topics, so he is an old acquaintance.

"It's okay. This time, we have sufficient manpower, material resources, and satellite phones, which are much more advanced than in the past. We will be fine, and the country has also sent armed soldiers to escort us." The old man Fang Tianlong knew what he was worried about. .

"Okay, I know I can't persuade you, but you should be careful. This time you have 38 camels at your disposal, and three of them are wild. If you can't find water, let them go. They will find it for you, or take them with you. You left." The mayor said to these comrades who love work.

Wild camels are regarded as national second-class protected animals, but in this small town, the staff has carried out some research work and mixed wild camels with domesticated ones.Once in a while, let the wild ones become tame. After entering the desert, maybe they can help some lost travelers get out of the desert.

"Have you prepared enough water and food?" Fang Tianlong asked these comrades who assisted their archaeological team.

"It's all ready. If nothing happens, it will be enough for you to stay in the desert for two weeks." The mayor and the staff below the town said: "We put a little iodized salt in the water, It can replenish the lost salt in your body."

"Oh, your work is very thoughtful. When I come back, I will commend you to the leaders above." Fang Tianlong nodded when he heard what they said.

Why is iodized salt added to the water?I believe everyone knows that the sweat from the human body is salty, right?
Why is sweat salty, not bland or sweet?That's because sweat contains salt, so some people who have diarrhea to the point of exhaustion, or have no water for a long time, what they need most is a drip of salt water to replenish the lost salt water in the body.

In the desert, under the fierce sun, sweating like rain, the loss of water and salt is the fastest, so in the desert, the most important water is also saline-alkali water.There is also a little sugar, or something sweet, so that the blood sugar does not drop sharply, causing dizziness and so on.

In addition to carrying their food and drink, camels also carry a lot of hay, etc., because camels also need to eat, otherwise, they must not be able to walk, not to mention they carry so many things on their bodies.

"I have fed all these camels, and they are the healthiest in the farm. I don't have to worry about dying of illness in the desert." Professor Fang Tianlong, a staff member of the farm, said.

"It's not too late for that, let's go, by the way, is the guide here?" Fang Tianlong turned around and asked several colleagues.

"Come, come, I'm here." An old man who looked over 65 years old was pulling an old camel with many bells hanging on it.

"Come on, let's go, Xiaobo, you call Mr. Lin and ask them to wait for us at the entrance of the town in 10 minutes. We are now leading the camel team to set off." Fang Tianlong nodded when he saw the old man appear. .

This old man, Fang Tianlong and the others have done a lot of investigation work. He has been working as a desert guide since the 80s and 40s. He has been engaged in this field for more than 50 years. It can be said that he is very familiar with the desert.Of course, the guide fee is very high, and it is still calculated according to the location and each day. This time the guide fee is [-] yuan.

This old guide, surnamed Hu, has three sons and a daughter under his knees. He is considered a rich man in a small town. All three sons work as guides. They are one of the guides in the local travel agency. Open restaurants and hotels in small towns, and the income is very considerable.
