Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 231

Time flies.

With a bang, half a year has passed.

In the first year of the 80s, He Hongling lived in Beijing.

The art troupe is gone, she has already planned.

Just after the Chinese New Year, fly to Paris to report.

In this regard, she is still looking forward to it.

Now she lives in the courtyard of the Hutong in Dongsansitiao.

Enjoy a rare leisurely life.

No worries about food and clothing, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, except for Wei Pingan staying overnight every day for the first half month, now he also comes over once or twice a week.

When He Hongling was bored, she would go to Liang Dong to play and watch him lead the students to boxing.

You have to make some preparations against the wolf for going abroad alone.

Basically, one or two days after Wei Ping'an's stay, He Hongling will also go to stay with her mother for two days.

As long as there is no special instruction, Wei Ping'an rarely spends the night here twice in a row.

He Hongling originally thought that she was not happy to be loyal to this kind of life, because this situation was very different from her desire since she was a child.

But after she really chose this way, she found that maybe this is the most suitable life for her.

Husband and wife each have their own affairs to be busy.

Although we get together less and leave more, but now that we have a mobile phone, nothing will be delayed.

If you like it, get together and get along sweetly.

After that, they will be busy on their own.

The freshness of love has a much longer shelf life than the shelf life of being tired of being together every day.

The key point is that He Hongling likes music.

She can practice the piano whenever she wants, and listen to music whenever she wants.

In addition to the phonograph, Wei Pingan also prepared all kinds of tapes and small recorders for her.

Performance and sound quality are fantastic.

She can even record herself on blank tape.

You can also ask Wei Pingan to help you turn the sound of the piano into a mobile phone ringtone.

Swim in the ocean of happiness every day.

Live in all kinds of novel surprises and joys.

He Hongling is completely immersed in this freedom of chasing herself.

Wei Ping'an has been a little busy recently.

Some system points exchanged will be confiscated.

His Starlink project has been almost completed in the past two years.

Nearly 2 nanosatellites float in low Earth orbit.

In order to clean up the garbage in low-earth orbit, Wei Pingan even helped the United States get rid of the metal needle garbage more than ten years ago.

Return the earth to a comfortable environment.

As for whether there are other satellites accidentally destroyed here, it is beyond what Wei Ping'an can predict.

Anyway, apart from his nano-satellites, Wei Ping'an doesn't want to have other countries' rambunctious things floating in space.

Who made the other party's satellites incapable of attacking?

So domineering.

In May, Zhou Zimo entered his third semester.

Getting ready for an internship.

Internships for archaeological studies majors are actually quite interesting.

Follow the team taught by the school to carry out rescue excavations on historic sites or tombs discovered all over the country.

This is a process of applying what you have learned.

But Zhou Zimo is not very satisfied with this kind of cookie-cutter activities.

He signed up for an extremely formal official event.

Follow his subject teacher Professor Sun Xuewu.

Participated in Lop Nur's search for Vice President Peng.

On the surface, this is not an archaeological activity.

However, the talented people recruited included archaeologists.

Professor Sun didn't know which muscle was wrong, so he signed up.

It is also nicknamed: There are too many traces of ancient tombs in the XJ Desert that we need to explore and study.

According to Wei Pingan's forward-looking understanding of Professor Sun Xuewu.

Shouldn't he only be interested in Fengxian Village?
Well, Wei Ping'an has known for a long time that one of Zhou Zimo's academic teachers is a teacher named Sun Xuewu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

But what did it matter to him?

There is no interference or interruption.

However, he was going to Lop Nur, and he also agreed to take Zhou Zimo with him.

This made Wei Pingan a little uncomfortable.

The disappearance of Peng Jiamu caused a lot of trouble.

So far, two search and rescue operations have been organized.

According to the temperature difference between day and night in Lop Nur and the actual situation, it is impossible for a botanist suffering from cancer, even the deputy director of the XJ branch, to go through such a lot of trouble.

Every abnormality must have a demon.

Wei Pingan wanted to avoid it.

He focuses on the study of people's livelihood and convenient lifestyle, and he is very devoted.

It's a pleasure.

I don't want to interrupt my rhythm of life for other trivial things.

Wei Ping'an is not a selfless person.

He only likes to achieve success and fame with a little help when he can.

That was the effect he expected.

In addition to emotional problems, I signed up to go to the Northwest to study firecrackers.

For the rest, Wei Ping'an did everything according to his heart.

But now it seems that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

Although I don't care.

But Zhou Wen is worried.

What's more, Wei Pingan knew some secrets in Lop Nur, so how could he watch Zhou Zimo go into danger.

On the rest day, Zhou Zimo came to eat.

The matter was mentioned at the dinner table, and it was said that it had been approved by Professor Sun.

Zhou Zimo was very happy.

There are countless ancient tombs in the desert, as well as ancient mummy samples worth thousands of dollars.

Zhou Zimo has grown up so much, since he had a brother-in-law, he has never worried about money.

So he didn't care about the value of the mummy.

He is devoted to research.

Young people are curious about all kinds of novel things, which Wei Pingan can understand.

It's just that Zhou Zimo's direction of curiosity is a little different from that of ordinary people.

This has to say the charm of Hu Bayi's protagonist halo.

If it weren't for him, Zhou Zimo might not have been led astray.

"Can you not go to Lop Nur, the situation there is more complicated than you imagined."

Wei Pingan asked a question.

Zhou Wen's face instantly became a little dignified.

Zhou Wen knew the character of his man thoroughly.

If there was no danger, Wei Ping'an would definitely not say that.

Certainly not a small risk.

"Brother-in-law, it's okay, there should be more than 100 people on this trip, accompanied and protected by troops along the way. We are just on the way to find people, and do some research and scientific research within our capabilities."

Wei Pingan nodded, picked up the ribs and ate silently.

This topic is not discussed further.

That night, Zhou Wen began to ask Wei Pingan what he knew.

What can Wei Pingan say?

The more you talk, the more worried Zhou Wen will be.

It's better to have a taste of it.

He made up his mind to get Zhou Zimo down at the last moment of this trip.

Don't let him follow.

It is also human nature to avoid unknown dangers.

Even if Zhou Zimo didn't understand it at the time, he will always understand it later.

However, Wei Pingan never expected that this incident was much more serious than what he knew and imagined.

The 026 warehouse was visited by an old man with gray hair brought by Lin Youqian.

The old man took Lao Zhang's place.

A generation of old people is replaced by old people.

Some positions are not accessible to young people directly.

It takes several years, ten years or even decades of training to be competent.

As soon as the two of them arrived, Wu Yuefu's phone also followed.

After old man Wu, the three sons of the Wu family all stood up.

The fourth child of the rich country and strong people is Wu Yuemin, who is also a female military officer serving in Nanjing.

Something is out of the ordinary.

It seemed that even if Wei Pingan wanted to get rid of it, he couldn't.

Because Ai Muzhen needs to personally lead and escort these teams.

And also to perform a task.

At a critical juncture, prevent the spread of all uncertain factors.

What is a critical moment, what is an uncertain factor, what is the possibility of proliferation...

None of this is stated.

It just means that you will know when the time comes.

And Lin Youqian came to Wei Pingan because he had important matters to explain.

This operation may encounter a lot of strange things. As the only special person in China who has mastered non-technical space skills, Lin Youqian hopes that Wei Pingan can carry out this mission with An Zhiyong.

Even Wei Ping'an can give up, the importance of this mission can be said to be a lice on the bald man's head.

What is visible to the naked eye cannot be overemphasized.

"Brother Lin, don't worry, Comrade An Zhiyong and I will definitely do a good job in logistical protection."

Send the two away.

Ai Mufeng and Wei Ping'an looked at each other in blank dismay.

There are some things that even the two people beside the pillow can only keep in their hearts.

Can't be open and honest with each other.

This is discipline.

It is also a tacit agreement between the two of them trusting each other.

The preparation period took about 3 months.

It was only when Wei Pingan set foot on the assembly before the train that he realized why it took so long to convene the search team.

Because this team is simply too mixed.

There are biologists in the sleeper where Wei Ping'an is, or several.

Some study animal cell division, and some study biological asexual reproduction...

I feel that it has nothing to do with desert exploration and searching for people in Lop Nur.

Moreover, the team is neither a scientific expedition team nor a search team, as if it is unknown and not recorded in the annals of history.

Wei Pingan took the water cup from No. 7 sleeper to the junction of the carriages to get hot water.

I met a lot of people saying hello.

There are paleontological researchers and archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Zhou Zimo lives in the lower bunk, and he is also an expert in the study of life in the center of the earth...

Scattered here and there, all of them are majors with little overlap, but somehow they were recruited together to join this search and rescue team...

Compared with the carriage where Wei Ping'an was in, the other carriage was even more inexplicable.

Wei Pingan stood at the door of the carriage and looked across the glass, and found that most of them were "private experts".

Some people wore Taoist robes, some wore long robes and mandarin jackets, and some wore neat suits.

Standing for a while, Wei Ping'an listened to the various conversations and discussions inside, which had the inner flavor of a knight-errant in the Jianghu. He also heard some divination by Master Zhouyi and Master Kanyu's feng shui explanation of the legend of Lop Nur...

Anyway, what Wei Pingan felt was extremely nondescript, even a bit ironic.

The train drove for more than four hours, and the group took a military plane to Lanzhou. At this time, in addition to scientific researchers and quacks, there were also more than 100 heavily armed soldiers.

Ai Muli's 36-member mecha team was also involved.

A mighty team of more than 200 people rushed to Dunhuang in military trucks non-stop, and officially set off from Yangguan.

In order to make the trip go smoothly, a small ceremony was specially held.

Wei Pingan motioned Ai Mulin to take a photo with the mecha from a distance.

Let's take a souvenir.

The search and rescue team set off from Yangguan Pass, passed through Yumen Pass, the ruins of the Great Wall of Han Dynasty, and arrived at Yadan, officially entering the uninhabited area of ​​Lop Nur.

In fact, there is a big difference between the official Lop Nur and the Lop Nur that everyone thinks.

The official Lop Nur is bounded by the North Mountain in the east, the Taklamakan Desert in the west, and the Kuruktag Mountain, Kumtag Mountain and Altun Mountains in the south and north respectively.

The Lop Nur that everyone thinks refers to the lowest point of the Tarim Basin.

It used to be the largest saltwater drift lake in China, which was covered by alluvial, flood, lacustrine and wind accumulation materials since the Quaternary.

It is also the destination of Tarim River and Kongque River.

Later, due to the diversion of the Tarim River, the lower reaches of the Kongque River stopped flowing, and the lake gradually dried up, but it also left behind the peculiar Yardang landform and unique fish-scale salt crust.

In addition, the climate here is extremely harsh, high temperature, strong wind, quicksand...

If you are not careful, you will die.

That's why it is called the mysterious no man's land.

More than 200 people traveled for two days in more than a dozen mechanical military vehicles.

In the evening of the second day, I announced that I was lying down.

For the next journey, everyone needs to walk on foot with two legs.

You must know that the environment here is really inhuman.

The ground is full of quicksand, and if you are not careful, you will sink into it.

Stopping and going will consume more water and physical strength and energy.

During the day, the surface temperature is almost close to eighty degrees.

Not to mention eggs, if you walk up barefoot, the soles of your feet will be cooked.

There are no cars, but whenever the sun is shining, everyone hides in tents.

But it was also very hot in the tent, and many people brought emergency candles, but they didn't need to take them out, because they were all roasted.

Wei Pingan knew that Ai Mulin and others were fine.

Because of the air circulation system inside the mecha, it can maintain a constant internal temperature.

So, the other soldiers persevered because of perseverance.

But Ai Muzhen and others, it is because of technology.

As for Zhou Zimo.

Young man, it's good to suffer a little bit.

Don't take everything for granted and cause future losses.

Anyway, there is no danger to life now, so let's bear it.

Day [-].

Because the air temperature is too high, the water used is placed in an iron bucket, and the color has changed in the past few days.

What comes out is soy sauce-colored and stinks.

Let's just say that even camels don't drink.

Wei Pingan didn't make a move.

He observed silently, waiting for others to come up with suggestions to solve the problem.

With so many people of different backgrounds gathered together, if you can't even solve a water source, then don't think about moving forward.

Wouldn't it be better to pack and go home?
Facts have proved that Wei Ping'an's consideration is correct.

Although this situation stumped a group of well-learned scientists, another wave of charlatan warlocks had a chance to show their talents.

Some people watch the sky at night and locate according to the starry sky. This is someone who knows Feng Shui.

Others have studied the flow direction of related ancient rivers through the placement angles of ancient tombs and corpses excavated nearby.

Well, this must be from Tomb Raiders.

After the cooperation of this group of people, the water source was found within two days.

Let a group of scientists open their eyes.

They are a group of real people.

Although there are no rules and regulations, but after this battle, it can be regarded as a staged cooperation from a mess of scattered sand.

The most obvious one is Wei Ping'an.

This guy already knew the original content of the sixteen-character feng shui secret art.

Now I take the opportunity to hang out among the quack warlocks, and talk about some secret talks and common sense of spells.

Within two days, they became like a wave of people.

The scientists watching this scene were dumbfounded.

President Wei really deserves to be President Wei.

Seeing is better than hearing.

His behavior and approach are really different.
