N39

We set off on time at 4:30 pm on the 8th. With the driving experience in the morning, everyone walked relatively smoothly, cautiously, and at a uniform speed. The lead car “On the Road” and “Jeep Exploring the World” are either high or low, as high as they can go, follow their own feelings, choose their own route, and go fast. On the way, we saw 2 gazelles. They looked at our group of “uninvited guests” in horror and hesitation. Say hello until it leaves.

Before I knew it, the sun was going to set, and no one proposed to set up camp. I told everyone in the car platform that I had already crossed 50 kilometers, and today I walked 130 kilometers, and the task was overfulfilled. Our original goal was to walk 100 kilometers a day. “Jin Shao” said: “Boss is tired, let’s set up camp.” “On the way” said: “Hurry up, all the cars, the camping location has been selected.”

After the car stopped, “Jin Shao” unloaded the car to pick up the ingredients, “David” and “Jeep Chuangtiantian” lit the liquefied gas stove and the gasoline stove, and boiled water and noodles in a cross-country pot. I became a chef and used a pressure cooker to cook. Onions, peppers, tomatoes and three packs of stewed pork, haha, it’s a big pot full, “Expo” said: “I want to eat two bowls.” Slightly lacking in stamina. “Shibo” ate the lo mein, and said in his mouth: “It’s too fast! It’s too fast! It took less than half an hour! It’s so fragrant! It’s so fragrant! It’s even more delicious than the rice at home!” It’s more delicious than the rice at home, There is hot rice in the vast sea of ​​sand, and it has been 11 hours since I have eaten, how can it not be delicious?

After dinner, I was too exhausted to get up from my chair. “On the road”, “Expo” check the vehicle and change the air filter, “Sunshine”, “Star Rain”, and “Jeep Exploring the World” refuel the vehicle, “Jin Shao” and “David” wash the pot and boil water, each has its own advantages Division of labor, methodical. My task is to take medicine on time. There are more than ten kinds of medicines. Everyone understands that as long as my body can support me and the car does not lie down, I can succeed in crossing the tower. They protect me like they protect a giant panda. I didn’t pull the winch or dig the sand during the whole tower pass. Headaches, dizziness, indigestion, and high blood pressure require medication, and I need to overcome them and persist. Everyone understands better that I have undergone three surgeries including open heart surgery. It has only been more than half a year, and my body has not recovered. It takes more effort than others to cross the tower, and the risk is greater.

“On the road” is our first batch of off-road team members. They have rich experience in desert driving and rescue, as well as excellent outdoor repair skills. When I was the first car in the past, he basically stayed on the left and right, and he took the No. 2 and No. 3 cars. Before the departure this time, he specially took the Aowei class and met the conditions of the first car. His co-driver “Jeep Chuangtiantian” is bold and careful, with first-class technical level. Both of them are physically strong, and the FJ is in good condition. With 2 locks and 1 shovel, ordinary trapped cars can successfully save themselves. A very characteristic team member is “Jin Shao”. He eats 10 eggs for breakfast, works out for 3 hours a day, is full of energy, and is a restless person. He eats 2 meals a day, moves up and down, and is extremely busy doing laundry. Happy. “Sunshine” is from Hebei. He speaks slowly, is honest, honest, approachable, and works conscientiously and meticulously. His finishing touch is reassuring. “Xingyu” is a southerner who has developed in Jiayuguan for many years. He is low-key, humorous, and helpful. He took the initiative to carry 60 kilograms of oil for “Sunshine”. It is a simple number, but it is not a small number in Tamo. Some “pots” repeatedly fail to get up, but the co-driver can get up immediately after getting off.

Tomorrow I have to get up early, try to start before 10 o’clock, and ask everyone to rest early. I lay on the bed and remembered that today is March 8th Women’s Day. I picked up the satellite phone and said hello to my wife. “Qilian Column Desert” reported safety and immediately fell asleep.

The leading car is on the road and the trailing car is sunny

“Lu Xun” lying down

On March 9th, the “Lu Xun” lost its rear brake. Everyone reported the road conditions at any time, and kept abreast of the car’s condition. After walking not far, “Sunshine” said that it was no problem to drive, so everyone can rest assured. The marching speed was surprisingly fast. After passing a big slope, the “pot” was below. Suddenly, “Sunshine” said: “No, there is no direction.” I was shocked and sweated, and when I came back, “Expo” said that the ball head tie rod was broken. well! The old car is the same as the old man. I shouted “on the road” on the platform to return. “On the road” had just stepped off the sand wall at this time, and it was difficult to return. I immediately said firmly that I would return by detour. After a while, I came back “on the road”. Everyone helped unload the generator, took out the electric welding machine, and prepared to weld and fasten it. I took out the drone and took a few photos. The car was repaired in about an hour. ! I said to Sunshine: “When you arrive at the supply point tonight or tomorrow morning, you can withdraw.” “Sunshine” said: “No, I can’t withdraw, and I can’t leave regrets!”

At this time, I was walking in the fourth car on a half slope. I saw that “Sunshine” was stuck in the car. I felt that the tone of my words just now was too heavy. I was under a lot of psychological pressure on “Sunshine”, so I immediately said to the co-driver: “Return to rescue ” David took out the rope, “Sunshine” said: “Boss let me save myself for a while, I haven’t been stuck in a car yet.” Ah! I was taken aback, and immediately asked on the platform: “Who has rescued Sunshine?” Everyone said no. It’s really “Brother Tamer”, my brother! It’s amazing not to get stuck in the car for three days!

I was delayed for 3 hours before and after the car repair in the morning. I once again made it clear that the head car should not wait for the car behind, and ran quickly. “Xingyu” should not leave the “Sunshine” side to ensure that the faulty car keeps up. “Expo” is also arranged in the car of Sunshine. On the request, the total distance cannot be opened by 3 kilometers.
The original plan was to arrive at the supply point at night, but due to the delay in repairing the car, coupled with the deep mountains, deep ditch, steep slope and soft sand, it was difficult to drive. “Jin Shao” got stuck in the car one after another, and the rescue was not counted. He just dug the sand and rescued himself three times in one afternoon. His car is a “dominant” car with low power and a long car. In addition, he is a careful person. Huo’s car is not strong enough, and it is common for the car to get stuck. I quickly overtook him on the big slope, and he was so angry that he just wanted to curse. Jin Shao said on the car platform: “FJ, FJ, I will buy an FJ when I get home, the red one, let you abuse me again.”

The sun was setting, and there was still 30 kilometers to go. “Lu Xun” was a one-eyed man again, and one headlight was not on. It was meaningless to wear it at night. We drove 90 kilometers that day. “Jeep Breaking the World” said with emotion: “The pot is connected with the pot, and the nest is connected with the nest. When you get out of the pot, you enter the nest. If you are energetic, you enter the nest. If you are boring, you enter the pot. You can’t judge the pot and the nest!”

My brain is buzzing!

One word can solve all problems, do it! That’s it!
