Happy Tycoon
Chapter 683: Arrive at the destination
Laer is indeed a very beautiful place. The Tarim River traverses east and west, and you can see the Tianshan Mountains in the north when you look up. A few kilometers south of the Tarim River is the famous Taklimakan Desert.
And just between the Tianshan Mountains and the Great Desert, surrounding the north and south banks of the Tarim River, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians used their hands to open up an area of up to several million acres on this wasteland that was originally the Gobi Desert. The vast farm makes this the granary of Xinjiang Province.
If it weren’t for the large yellow desert in the south to remind people that this place was actually a Gobi desert before, no one would have thought that this large farm with criss-crossing rice paddies and dense river ditches was used by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians for several years. Time has been cultivated.
Although the roaring Tarim River has brought sufficient water vapor here, without these hard-working soldiers and civilians, this place would not become a fertile soil for harvest. It can be said that this land full of vitality is a miracle.
Yang Jing and the others stayed here for a day. Of course, because of the consent of the superiors, the commander of the First Division and Political Commissar Lu met with Yang Jing again, and on behalf of all the soldiers and civilians of the First Division, they thanked Yang Jing for their donations.
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Jing and his group of seven continued to board the journey and continued south along the 217 National Highway on the south side of the Tarim River.
From Alar, it takes more than 400 kilometers to reach Hotan. The 217 National Highway, which runs through the Taklimakan Desert, has been extending southward on the west bank of the Hotan River.
The entire highway has been extending in the desert, and the road conditions are good, but the surrounding scenery is really very monotonous. At first glance, there is nothing to see except the yellow sand in the sky.
Yang Jing didn’t see the magnificent scenery in the imagination of "solitary smoke in the desert and the sunset over the long river" anyway. All he saw were the undulating sand dunes, and then the undulating sand dunes and the continuous undulations. Dunes...
When they arrived in Hotan in the afternoon, Yang Jing and the others finally saw an incredible scene.
Suddenly a large piece of earthy yellow "clouds" came from the large desert to the west. You say this is a cloud, this color is wrong, but if you say this is a dust storm, but this large piece of "cloud" looks really different. It was motionless, as if it were really a large cloud falling from the sky, and then it was stained khaki by the desert.
This large cloud is hundreds of meters high, and the masses of clouds are also endless, looking extremely magnificent.
Austin and a few foreigners have seen such an amazing scenery, and they all clamored to get off the car to take pictures.
Yang Jing has seen videos posted by Moments of Friends on WeChat in later generations, including a video of this kind of scenery. But where is the shock of seeing this spectacular scenery on site in the video, even Yang Jing wants to take pictures.
But Director Wang who followed was terrified, and quickly prevented these unaware people from getting out of the car.
"Mr. Smith, this kind of scenery looks spectacular, and this sandstorm does not seem to move, but in fact, the speed of this sandstorm is still very fast. Look, just now, this sandstorm seems to be quite far away. Far away, don’t you feel like you’re suddenly in front of you now? Mr. Smith, this is not an amazing beauty. This is an out-and-out sandstorm, and it’s still a very powerful sandstorm! Don’t get out of the car, we need to Avoided this sandstorm in the car."
Hearing what Director Wang said seriously, Yang Jing realized the danger.
The more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are, and the strange and spectacular scenery in front of you, if Director Wang hadn't told him, even Yang Jing wouldn't know that it was a very dangerous sandstorm.
Sure enough, that large piece of "clouds" that was originally strange and magnificent, and seemed to be still, soon came to everyone. At this time, everyone was horrified to discover that this was indeed a cloud of sky and sun. Rage sandstorm.
Later generations of Yang Jing once watched the cult movie "Furthermore", and was shocked by the earth-shattering sandstorm in the movie. Although he has not personally experienced the sandstorm in the movie, Yang Jing feels that the sandstorm in front of him is definitely not worse than the sandstorm in the movie.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the world was filled with black and yellow sand. As far as the line of sight was, it was no longer an unchanging sand dune, but a sandy sky.
There were violent sandstorms everywhere. Driven by the strong wind, the gravel seemed like a big slap of a **** blocking the killing of the gods and Buddhas, and the sky and the earth flashed fiercely from the sky. The grit hits the glass and body of the car, and the crackling sound can scare people to pee.
And looking out of the cab, you can't even see anything three meters away, as if at this moment, the whole world has become what it looked like when the chaos first opened.
The two-ton Pajero is also like a weak child in this violent wind and sand, shivering. Whenever a gust of wind blows, accompanied by a dense crackling, the car will shake violently, which makes people worry about the car. Will it be blown away...
Austin and the others are all tall and magnificent~lightnovelpub.net~ but where have you seen this kind of scene? Paul Battier, who was born in Oklahoma, has been drawing a cross on his chest. In his words, the tornadoes that often occur in Oklahoma every summer are actually almost like this apocalyptic scene.
Of course, sandstorms are not as destructive as tornadoes, but the consequences of sandstorms are comparable to tornadoes.
After the tornado passed, there was a mess everywhere, and after the sandstorm passed, the eyes were full of yellow sand.
Even the originally clear Hotan River has become turbid, but the 217 National Road, which was originally quite flat, can't be seen directly-it is completely covered by thick yellow sand.
Fortunately, the shape of the roadbed can still be recognized, and it is not enough to drive the car into the roadside ditch. Of course, the two originally brand-new Mitsubishi Pajero, now it is time to change the paint-from green to yellow.
In fact, the place where the sandstorm was encountered is not far from Hotan. Although it was delayed for about half an hour, when Yang Jing and the others arrived in Hotan, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon. And when approaching Hotan, there were a lot of people on the highway. They were cleaning the 217 National Highway, which was covered by yellow sand.
In fact, the Hotan people in the depths of the desert have long been familiar with this violent sandstorm, so they can clear the road as soon as the sandstorm has passed. This road is a very important road connecting Aksu and Uzbekistan.
When Yang Jing and the others arrived in Hotan, the high-ranking officials and administrative commissioners in the Hotan area were waiting for Yang Jing and his party to arrive.
