Live Wilderness Challenge

"Wu Tong told me that you also want to join the search and rescue operation, don't you?"

After introducing each other, Yang Xin finally got to the point.

Chen Xu nodded bluntly and said, "That's right."

"Okay, since Lop Nur is too big and the police resources in the town are limited, I have led the search operations these few times. Captain Li of the search and rescue team is in charge of the specific operation planning."

The captain Li that Yang Xin was talking about was the captain of the search and rescue team.

He should be a native of Xinjiang, with a fat body and a bit of a sturdy temperament in the Northwest.

"Brother, I am a straightforward person, and I will speak up when I have something to say."

Sure enough, when Captain Li spoke, his tone was very aggressive, "I know you are a professional outdoor anchor and know a lot of outdoor knowledge, but Lop Nur is not something that can be settled with knowledge. Over the past few decades, I don't know how many experts have died in the field. here."

"I'm not a local, and I don't know how terrifying Lop Nur is. Therefore, you can participate in the search, but I have to inform you in advance. Everything must be obeyed by me, and you cannot make decisions without authorization."

"Otherwise, something went wrong..."

Skillful.

Chen Xu is from the Northeast, and he has a straight temper.

So, before Captain Li finished speaking, he interrupted: "Can I take a look at your search and rescue plan?"

"you!"

Next to him, a search and rescue team member was immediately unhappy when he saw that Chen Xu not only refused to agree, but also interrupted the captain's speech.

Captain Li also had a gloomy expression on his face, but he still raised his hand and asked the team members to bring over the map.

To be honest, he didn't mean anything malicious when he said those words, but he still thought of Chen Xu.

He has seen many experts and explorers who came to Lop Nur for investigation and scientific research. Before entering the desert, all of them wished that their cowhide would be blown to the sky.

But after entering, they will find out, what kind of map, compass, eggs are useless!

To get lost, or to get lost!

Instead of arguing about disagreements while searching, it is better to lay them out now and explain clearly.

When the map arrived, Captain Li immediately spread it flat on the hood of the car, and while gesturing, he explained: "The desert in Lop Nur is very large, and our hands are simply not enough to search it all."

"So, I combined the information collected by the police and deduced the most likely route for the missing person. We will follow this path to find the person. The possibility of finding the person is much greater than random search."

Chen Xu listened to Captain Li's search plan, but kept looking at the map of Lop Nur.

The route drawn by Captain Li spread from Lop Nur town to the north, passing through a large desert plain and uninhabited desert.

He closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Since you combined the police's search information, the route should be correct, but I know that Lu Yao is a travel columnist with professional knowledge. "

"She has been to the Xinjiang area more than once, so she should have very rich coping skills for deserts and deserts. In this case, she can still disappear, so there is only one result, that is, she encountered an irresistible accident!"

"This kind of accident may be a natural disaster, or it may be an attack by a wild animal. I personally prefer the former. Before coming to Lop Nur, I checked the weather forecast here for nearly a week."

"The Lop Nur area has been blowing strong winds for the past few days. It is very likely that Lu Yao encountered a severe sandstorm, and the northwest wind prevails in Xinjiang. If she wants to escape, she must escape to the northeast or southwest where the wind direction is halfway."

"But the sandstorms in the Lop Nur area are notoriously large. Lu Yao should also know this. The Pingchuan River in the southwest is an excellent place for sandstorms. She doesn't know how long she will have to walk to escape the storm area."

"According to human instinct, in the face of danger, they will give priority to fleeing to a safe area, and then it is the northeast, because there are Kiziltag Mountains along the road, as well as many sandy ridges and hills. The terrain is very complicated, which can effectively resist sandstorms. .”

"Because of the strong wind, we couldn't see the ruts, but if an ordinary car travels 300 kilometers a day in the desert, she officially lost contact on the second day, so we first followed the northern route to find about 300 kilometers, and then changed the route. Search northeast."

After a few paragraphs, Chen Xu looked up again and found that everyone was staring at him stupidly.

"What's wrong, is there something wrong with my statement?"

"This……"

Several search and rescue team members scratched their heads and stared at each other. They have also met many experts, but they have never seen someone who is so familiar with the terrain of Lop Nur.

And the most important thing is that this kid not only knows Lop Nur well, he also considers all aspects very meticulously, and he can even use the word "horror" to describe it.

After these few paragraphs, he has estimated all the factors that can be estimated, which is better than TM computer!

Captain Li was just straight-tempered and had no malice in his heart.

Seeing that Chen Xu did have two brushes, he was really convinced on the face: "You are indeed right in thinking, okay, we will start to divert from about 300 kilometers, and then search along the northeast."

"Okay, I'll just pack up and let's go!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Xu walked to the base vehicle of the search and rescue team, picking up some basic equipment that could be used.

Seeing his leaving back, Yang Xin couldn't help sighing to Wu Tong: "You friend is really amazing, I have been working as a policeman in the field for more than eight years, and this is the first time I have seen someone with such strong analytical skills! "

Wu Tong smiled, with a look of no surprise, "I told you earlier, he is a professional!"

Ten minutes later, Chen Xu came back with a bunch of equipment, "I'm ready, which car?"

"This one is for you. You take the lead on the route you set, and I will be in charge of postponing it. With the two of us here, there should be no problem with this search!"

When Captain Li said these words, he couldn't help patting the car beside him.

Chen Xu turned his head and saw an almost large off-road vehicle appeared in front of him. The whole body was white, with the striking yellow, white and red stripes and team logo of the search and rescue team painted on the side.

In a place like Lop Nur, ordinary urban SUVs can't drive at all, and only non-load-bearing hardcore off-road vehicles with girders can be used.

And the car in front of him is the representative work of hardcore off-road, Bobcat Pajero!

Chapter 532 The Search and Rescue Begin

Pajero is a professional-level off-road vehicle produced by Dongying Mitsubishi Corporation. The reason why it is called the Lynx is because the South African Lynx has a strong ability to survive in the wild, and Pajero has a strong ability to escape in the wild, so it was named after the South African Lynx.

Therefore, the Chinese translated from Pajero's English is Bobcat!

Although in terms of extreme off-road performance, Pajero is not as good as high-end hard-core off-road vehicles such as Jeep Wrangler, Land Rover Defender, and Mercedes-Benz G series, but it has won seven consecutive championships in the Dakar Rally after all. describe.

After all, the Dakar Rally is the most difficult cross-country rally event in the world. Not one of them can win seven consecutive championships, which is enough to show its super ability and stability in the wild.

And these two Pajero's can be regarded as the best performance among all the cars of the search and rescue team.

Captain Li was able to allocate this car to Chen Xu, basically putting him in the same position as himself.

"Okay, then I will lead the way!"

Chen Xu nodded, then turned around, and said to Wu Tong: "Wu Tong, you go back to the town first, and I will contact you immediately when I come back!"

"Okay, then you pay attention to safety!"

Wu Tong knew that it was useless to go with him, and would instead waste the entire team's supplies in vain.

Afterwards, everyone also began to carry out the final equipment inspection to check whether there were any leftovers.

Basically, the search and rescue teams carry the most gasoline, water and food. Since the first two are large in size, the food carried by the team is all small and easy to store compressed biscuits and military cans.

The rest are some necessary survival and search and rescue equipment in the field such as climbing ropes, fire equipment, strong light flashlights, medical first aid kits, and axes.

Here, while everyone was getting ready, Wang Liang came to Chen Xu with an envious look on his face, flattering him, "Chen Xu, you were really there just now, thanks to the strong wind, you were able to figure out Lu Yao's escape route. "

Chen Xu was not very happy. "Everything is relative. Gale provided us with estimated information, but at the same time, it also brought great difficulties to our search."

"Because of the strong wind, the helicopter couldn't take off at all this day. Otherwise, it would be much faster to send out the helicopter to search directly than to drive!"

When Wang Liang heard this, he immediately came to his senses and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Okay, let's get in the car first."

After checking the vehicle, Chen Xu directly opened the door and got into the cab.

On the other side, other team members got into the car one by one.

There are a total of six cars in the convoy, including everyone, there are about twenty or so.

Among them, there were three people sitting in Chen Xu's car, Wang Liang, Yang Xin, and a member of the search and rescue team.

Since he was in charge of taking the lead, after Captain Li's voice came from the intercom, he turned the engine, kicked the accelerator, and drove directly out of the compound of the police station.

hum~bum~

With the sound of whistling engines, five off-road vehicles followed immediately.

The town of Lop Nur is not big, and Chen Xu only drove for ten minutes before leaving the town.

As soon as we left the road, the first thing we encountered was the endless yellow desert.

It's mid-to-late July, summer in China. Fortunately, it's morning, the weather is still not hot, and the sun has just risen. The sun slanted on the barren land, dyeing the whole land a lifeless yellow.

The ravines and boulders that can be seen here and there are like scars on the skin, calling out the vicissitudes experienced by this barren land.

From time to time, they would encounter withered Populus euphratica, yellowed hay, in short, there is nothing that can show the vitality here.

This almost forms a strong visual contrast with the beautiful blue sky.

At this time, a gust of wind blew over, carrying countless sand and dust, and slapped on the windshield of the car door, and there was a rhythmic and crisp "pop" sound.

Chen Xu squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand to press the car window, and in an instant, he felt a gust of wind coming in through the crack of the window, screaming "Aww", like howling ghosts and wolves, hitting his face head-on, even a little painful, which is enough to show that this How strong the wind is.

Then, he immediately put his hands outside.

After feeling it for a few seconds, he closed the car window and sighed, "I didn't expect the northwest wind to blow early in the morning, and our route happened to be heading north, which would have a great impact on our speed."

Yang Xin was a little puzzled, "To what extent will it be affected?"

Chen Xu grinned and licked his teeth with his tongue, "Slow down, obstructed vision, etc. Under this environment, we can drive more than ten kilometers an hour, which is pretty good!"

Everyone in the car was shocked.

God, it's only a dozen kilometers in an hour, so wouldn't it be possible to drive more than 100 kilometers in a whole day?

In this way, not to mention changing the route to the northeast to find Lu Yao, it will take two days for the three hundred kilometers in a straight line!

Wang Liang had never been to Lop Nur, so he didn't even believe it.

No matter how slow the car is, it is still a car. Lop Nur is a plain, and there is no traffic jam. How can it be possible to travel more than ten kilometers per hour?

And the next scene made him believe what Chen Xu said.

Because it didn't take long for Chen Xu to drive into a potholed ravine.

But at the next moment, everyone felt that their entire bodies were suddenly weightless, and the front of the car suddenly fell, and the entire front body was completely floating. It felt like the car was about to overturn.

Several people stared at the front windshield in fear, and then heard a "boom", and the front wheel shock absorbers shook violently. At this time, a loess slope suddenly appeared in front of them.

It turned out to have fallen into a big ravine!

Several people breathed a sigh of relief.

But as the saying goes, "it's easy to get into the pit, but it's hard to get out of the pit."

When the car body gets out of the hole, it needs sufficient throttle response to climb up from the dirt slope, and the slope of the dirt slope in front of us is very high, coupled with the influence of strong winds, climbing becomes more difficult.

Without further ado, Chen Xu directly pushed the mode lever to the low-speed four-wheel drive lock.

As one of Mitsubishi's strongest off-road performance vehicles, Pajero is naturally equipped with its own core super-selected four-wheel drive system.

This off-road system can fully match the power. When a certain wheel slips out of control, the central differential lock will be locked immediately, and the power will be distributed to other ground wheels in time.

In the low-speed four-wheel drive mode, the torque of the vehicle will be instantly amplified to 2.45 times!

So, just as Chen Xu kicked the accelerator down, the whole front of the car roared like a beast.

In a blink of an eye, the three of them felt that these two Pajero were like a full-fledged Hercules, with a "swish", they rushed up the yellow slope!

Chapter 533 This mouth is too amazing

After going up, Chen Xu immediately turned on the walkie-talkie and told Li Dui and others behind him to be careful of the huge gully ahead.

This is one of his roles as the leader of the team, to report the terrain ahead and guide the direction at any time.

The convoy of several people was not rigidly arranged vertically, but arranged in a triangle. The distance between each car was about ten meters, and Chen Xu walked in the front and led the way.

The advantage of this is that in addition to maximizing the scope of the search, increasing the chances of finding the information left by the missing person and even the person himself, it can also maintain a safe distance.

Once the car in front suddenly has an accident, the distance of more than ten meters can leave enough reaction time for the car behind, which is also one of the basic rules for the convoy to explore no man's land.

And in the next journey, there are countless bad roads like the big ravine.

Chen Xu's Pajero has strong off-road performance, so it is very easy to get out of trouble, while the performance of the off-road vehicles of other team members is relatively ordinary, so a lot of time will be wasted invisibly.

By noon, a few hours had passed, and the crowd had only traveled less than a hundred kilometers in total.
