Earth, China, Northwest.

At the border between the grassland and the desert, several simple iron houses are erected, surrounded by a circle of barbed wire mesh. These barbed wire mesh are only more than one person tall, and each grid is fixed with wooden stakes at a distance. This barbed wire mesh does not have much precautions for people, and ordinary people can easily turn over from above. However, its function here is not to prevent people, but mainly to prevent some wild animals from entering.

"Teacher Zhang, when can we set out?"

The door of a simple room opened and a young man in his 20s walked out, wearing an orange-red windbreaker, with quick-drying pants tied with trousers, a triangle scarf wrapped around his head, and sunglasses on his nose, which looked similar to a veteran hiker playing outdoors.

He called Teacher Zhang a middle-aged man. He was standing in the yard and looking into the distance. He heard the sound and looked back and frowned slightly.

"No hurry, I'll leave together when Captain Lin comes back tomorrow."

"Do you have to wait until tomorrow?" The young man raised his hand and looked at the exercise chart on his wrist and couldn't help but say.

"Of course it's tomorrow." Zhang Liyun replied, and then said: "I said Xiao Wan, our work has strict regulations. There are too many uncertain factors in the field. The exploration work must be carried out according to the procedures. I'm anxious and can't eat hot tofu. There are some subsequent work, and you will get used to it when you get familiar with it."

The young man laughed immediately after thinking about it, nodded and said yes, and then went back to his room.

Seeing the young man leave, Zhang Liyun shook his head slightly. Zhang Liyun is an engineer of the Northwest Exploration Team and a teacher of Northwest Geosciences University. Xiao Wan, who was talking to him just now, is a master's student at Northwest Geosciences University. This time, the university arranged for Wan Yi to come to the exploration team where Zhang Liyun was in for an internship.

Wan Yi came here the day before yesterday. This place is the supply station of the exploration team. The main work of the exploration is chaired by the team leader Lin Jianxue. Zhang Liyun, as a geological expert, is Lin Jianxue's deputy and is also the team leader this time.

Northwestern Geosciences University and the exploration team have been working together for many years. The initial cooperation was in the early 1960s, and over the years, Northwestern Geosciences University has provided a lot of talents to the Institute of Geosciences and the exploration team, and the Institute of Address and the exploration team have also made many contributions to Northwestern Geosciences. Just like Zhang Liyun, he is currently not only a member of the institute, but also a part-time lecturer at Northwestern Geosciences University.

Every year, Zhang Liyun takes several students recommended by the school to participate in the exploration team, and he has taught many students in recent years. However, this is the first time that students like Wan Yi have encountered. First of all, Wan Yi is a little different from the previous team leadership. He arranged it separately in the school. Secondly, there are few examples of master students like Wan Yi internships in the exploration team, at least Zhang Liyun is the first time. In the end, Wan Yi does not feel like a hard-working person. When he met Zhang Liyun, he felt that Wan Yi’s family conditions should be very good. The sports watch he wore on his wrist was worth his salary for several months. After the supply station, Wan Yi never wore that kind of ordinary work clothes, but wore famous outdoor clothes and kept wandering in front of him. It was not like being here for an internship but going on an outdoor vacation.

In short, Zhang Liyun had a bad first feeling about Wan Yi. He felt that such a young man who was used to enjoying it came to the exploration team and it was hard for him to believe that Wan Yi could endure this hardship. Don’t look at Wan Yi looking forward to setting off now. I guess when he really got out of the wild, the kid would have to cry and shout that his parents would go back in a few days.

Lin Jianxue returned to the supply station earlier than expected, and he worked outdoors all year round. In fact, Lin Jianxue was one year younger than Zhang Liyun, but when they stood together, Lin Jianxue looked like Zhang Liyun several years older. His dark face was red, his messy hair and beard were connected for several days and had not been shaved. His light gray work clothes were dirty and turned into brown. He was carrying a huge military camouflage backpack. He saw it in the city and was almost no different from blind flow.

"Old Lin, thank you for your hard work." After Lin Jianxue took a shower and returned to the house, Zhang Liyun handed him a cigarette and asked about his work this time.

Lin Jianxue's personality is a bit taciturn and just briefly explained the work. There are five people in their exploration team, including Lin Jianxue, Zhang Liyun, and geological expert. There are also three team members Qin Shouyi, Wang Xiaoshan and Wu Jun. The main task is to explore the northwest desert and edge terrain, and find the resources contained in the desert, including groundwater sources, etc.

This is a long-term and very hard work. Often, if you go out for more than ten days or even a month, you may get nothing. However, Lin Jianxue has led his team for several years. He has spent almost 300 days running around in the vast desert area of ​​the northwest for 365 days a year.

"I heard that a college student came? An intern?" The cigarette butt on his hand was almost burning to his fingers. Lin Jianxue glanced at him and took a last sip.

"Yes, I'm still a master's student." Zhang Liyun handed another cigarette to Lin Jianxue. Seeing that he was lit on his ass that was about to be extinguished, he roughly talked about Wan Yi's situation, and also talked about his worries.

"He's the only one this time?"

"He's the only one." Zhang Liyun explained: "Professor Gu personally arranged it, so I won't refuse. Lao Lin, you see, it really doesn't work..."

"There is no need for this." Lin Jianxue waved his hand: "My team is not special. Since it was arranged by Professor Gu, opportunities must be given. If he can do it, he can continue to do it. If he can't do it, he will let him go back. OK, that's it. He will get up early tomorrow and have a rest early."

After saying that, Lin Jianxue finished smoking a few sips of half a cigarette in his hand, then lay on the bed, pulled the coat next to him over the cover, and snoring sounds came in less than a minute.

It was early in the northwest. Wan Yi got up early the next day. After washing and combing in the house, he put on his clothes and went out of the door. Looking at the gradually brighter sky in the distance, he moved his body in the yard. As soon as he did a few moves, a strange voice rang behind him.

"You are Wan Yi?"

Looking back, a man from the northwest was standing behind him, wearing a dirty work clothes on his shoulders, and squinted his eyes and looked at him.

"I am, you are..."

"I'm Lin Jianxue."

"Hello, Captain Lin, when did you come back?" Wan Yi immediately showed joy and hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with Lin Jianxue, but Lin Jianxue lifted the cigarette held by his fingers, indicating that it was inconvenient.

"We set out today, are you ready?" Lin Jianxuewen said.

"I've been ready for a long time, Captain Lin, I've been waiting for you for several days."

"Go and show me your luggage." Lin Jianxue said.

Although Wan Yi didn't know why Lin Jianxue asked so, he nodded quickly and ran back to the room to take out the luggage he brought. An Archaeopteryx's 85l mountaineering bag was stuffed with many fragments, such as alcohol lamps, outdoor tableware, compass, flashlights, sleeping bags, etc. There was even a famous brand tent on the top of the mountaineering bag, and there was also a folded alloy pony stool.

Lin Jianxue took it without saying a word and flipped it up. While picking things out, he took them a few glances and threw them to the side. In a blink of an eye, the whole bag was thrown on the ground and divided into two portions, one more and one less. Finally, he picked up the mountaineering bag and threw it to the other portion: "No need to bring any of these."

"No need to bring these, but..." Wan Yi was stunned. Lin Jianxue threw away most of the things he brought and said he didn't need to bring them. Could it be that he just brought the flashlight and the compass with them?

"And I also change all your clothes." Lin Jianxue pointed to the few things that could be left on the ground and the clothes on Wan Yi: "Except these, all of them are replaced with the equipment in the team. Just like that, we will set off in an hour. If you don't want to change, you can go back to school directly."

After saying that, Lin Jianxue didn't even look at Wan Yi, who was stunned, and left with his hands on his back. (To be continued)
