The next day, Jiang Cheng and the others, who were fully prepared, were ready to set off early in the morning. There was not much time left for the four of them. There were less than six days left of the week. If they did not find the entrance to the oil field in these six days, then it would be very difficult for them to choose a site for the factory.
Thinking of this, everyone felt as if a large stone was pressing down on their hearts. Early in the morning, Jiang Cheng went to the village to find the necessary tools. The four of them were ready to enter the deserted hilly area. Tents, electric lights, and knives were all necessary. Considering the extreme weather in the desert, they had to bring GPS and necessary clothes.
But after bringing so many things, even Jiang Cheng could not carry them. So at this time, Jiang Cheng and the others chose two means of transportation — camels. In a desert like this, there was obviously nothing more useful than camels. If you got a car, it was very likely that you would run out of gas halfway.
After all the preparations were complete, the four of them began to set off into the hilly area. From the town of Utusi, less than a hundred miles out was the hilly area of the Zambi Mountains. It was less than two hundred kilometers away from the huge oil field in South Sudan.
The four of them were first sent to the edge of the hilly area by a truck in the town. Soon, they got off the ground and began to enter the desert hills. There was still no vegetation in the desert hills. The surroundings looked bare, but there were many cacti and king trees.
These trees were drought-resistant crops, and the trees usually contained a lot of water. But the plant water inside should not be used unless it was necessary. Because these things contained hallucinogenic drug ingredients. If they were eaten casually, they would have brain convulsions.
It was the first time An Qingdong had conducted a survey in a desert area. He was better at marine survey than he was. He was obviously a little mischievous. As soon as they entered the hills, he began to shout everywhere to stop. Every time he found a suspicious place, he would immediately stop, fiddle with the equipment, knock and knock.
In less than an hour and a half, Jiang Cheng and the others had already stopped more than a dozen times in the hilly area outside. It was a little too much for Gong Yue. He looked up at the sun above his head. It was about to burn the four of them into dried corpses, so he waved at Jiang Cheng.
"Brother Jiang Cheng, why don't we take a break first?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng turned his head and glanced at the three of them. After pondering for a moment, he nodded. After all, the three of them did not have the same physique as Jiang Cheng, and they had not undergone special combat training. In this kind of environment, maintaining basic mobility was the most important thing.
Everyone found a place to rest. At this time, An Qingdong was a little stubborn. He fiddled with the set of equipment, feeling inexplicably irritated. From time to time, he would knock on it, and from time to time, he would say a few words to himself. Then, he would pull his hair into a messy mess.
At this time, Gong Yue moved closer to An Qingdong and said, "Big Brother An, what's going on with this detection? Are there so many oil exploration spots along the way? " Gong Yue felt a little apprehensive in her heart. They had stopped for so long along the way, and it was really a waste of time.
An Qingdong sighed helplessly and said, "Brother Gong Yue, I know you guys are anxious as well. I'm also quite nervous. Although I've touched this thing before, I've never explored in the desert. I've always explored the sea, and there are specialized detection ships. As long as we pass by, we can detect it. "
Gong Yue understood and said, "That's right. Big Brother An, are you also using a carpet search method to find the entrance to the oil field? But this hill is so big. If we were to use such a carpet search method, how long would it take for us to walk? "Gong Yue's words were indeed reasonable. An Qingdong immediately sighed.
"I'm useless. I already have this thing in my hands, but I don't know how to use it. Brother Jiang Cheng, Brother Gong Yue, I'm sorry. I've really embarrassed the An family for decades. I can't even understand a land exploration. "An Qingdong lowered his head in self-reproach.
Gong Yue patted An Qingdong's shoulder and comforted him. "Big Brother An, don't be nervous. We all believe you. Think carefully and see if there's anything else you missed. Or have you forgotten the main points of this land exploration? "
As Gong Yue comforted An Qingdong, she drank a bottle of water. After An Qingdong drank the water, he gradually calmed down from the anxiety in his heart. He carefully thought about the key points of the land exploration and gradually began to make some progress. He paced around.
"I remember now, I remember now. For this land exploration, we first have to determine the location of the underground flow. Oil and water are all the same, in a liquid state. If there's something wrong with the electromagnetic waves in the underground water, then it must be a place where oil is stored! "
An Qingdong's eyes became more and more passionate. When he said that, he jumped up in joy and strode to Gong Yue's side, saying, "Brother Gong Yue, thank you for making me calm down! I remember now. I remember that we have to go there to look for oil. "
An Qingdong's sudden realization finally allowed him to make some headway in his exploration. Jiang Cheng had been listening to the two of them talk. Because of their different specialties, he couldn't interrupt them. Only now did he ask, "Then where should we go first?" An Qingdong turned around and looked at Jiang Cheng proudly.
"Let's look for underground water first. Generally, the west side of the valley is a place where water is hidden. We'll start from here and find the gathering place of the underground flow. From there, we'll look for the whereabouts of the oil. "After An Qingdong finished speaking, Jiang Cheng got up and pointed to the top of the two mountains in front.
"That's the highest peak of the nearby mountains. If there's rain, the valley over there should be the most water. Let's go there first and see if there are any signs of the underground flow. Then, we'll search the mountains one by one. "Jiang Cheng directed everyone to set off.
The Zancobi Mountain Range stretched for more than 200 miles. It would take a week just to walk. Moreover, if they continued to explore like this, they might not be able to find it without at least half a month. The three of them knew that it was very difficult, but no one gave up. After all, this was their hope of returning home.
The four of them trudged all the way. When they reached the foot of the mountain, it was almost night. In the desert, they couldn't walk around casually at night. Under Jiang Cheng's arrangement, they found a leeward and stable area and began to set up tents to spend the night.
Because of Qin Fei, two tents were set up. To be honest, as a delicate girl, it was already very impressive that Qin Fei could persist all the way. The three of them would be more considerate of Qin Fei during their daily travels.
Although Qin Fei was a girl who didn't like to talk, Jiang Cheng and An Qingdong could tell that Qin Fei was absolutely in love with Gong Yue. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed by Gong Yue's side until now. At about eight o 'clock in the evening, a strong cold wind was blowing on the Zancobi Mountain Range.
Outside the two tents, there was a roaring bonfire. The three of them leaned against the bonfire. Their faces were a little red, but they couldn't stop their backs from shivering. The wind was a little strong, and they couldn't help but feel cold. Jiang Cheng and An Qingdong didn't say anything. They looked at the bonfire and pondered.
At that moment, Gong Yue drank a mouthful of hot water and said, "Brother Jiang Cheng, Brother An, what do you think the probability of us finding oil is?" Gong Yue's words made An Qingdong fall silent, but he immediately laughed and said, "Brother Gong Yue, you really know how to joke. With me around, how can we not find it? Don't worry, we'll be able to find it when we climb the mountain tomorrow. "
Gong Yue smiled bitterly and said worriedly, "Is it really possible? Brother An, I really can only rely on you. This mountain is too big. If we can't find it, I won't blame you. "Gong Yue didn't feel optimistic. Indeed, the strength of the few of them was too weak.
Seeing that Gong Yue didn't have any confidence, An Qingdong was about to muster up his ambition and speak generously. Jiang Cheng, who was at the side, interrupted, "Don't panic. Even if we can't find the oil, don't give up. This is our base. After this week, we'll find a random place to build a factory and continue to delay.
"After the factory is built, if we still can't find the oil, then we'll find another mountain. Then let's find another mountain. This place is so big, and there are only oil fields here. We'll definitely be able to find it! "Jiang Cheng's confident words immediately gave An Qingdong and Gong Yue confidence.
Gong Yue took a deep breath and nodded. "Yes. Brother An, we can't give up. As long as we're still in Sudan, we must complete this task. "Gong Yue looked at the two of them, and her eyes gradually became firm. Jiang Cheng smiled optimistically and said to An Qingdong, who was next to him.
"Brother An, you don't have to comfort us. Since we're here, we'll be patient. How much time do you need, and what's the probability of finding the oil this week? "Jiang Cheng was a real person, and this kind of thing didn't need any white lies.
An Qingdong took a deep breath and had already calculated in his mind. He said, "Probably at least a month, and the probability of finding it is about 10%." And the probability of finding it is about 10%. "An Qingdong's words shocked Gong Yue and Jiang Cheng. This was a pitifully low probability.
But what An Qingdong said was the truth. Usually, a search team of about a hundred people would need a few months to surround a mountain. With just Jiang Cheng and a few people, it would be a miracle if they could really find it. But when An Qingdong thought of this, he said seriously, "Although the chance is very slim, please rest assured. I, An Qingdong, will definitely not lose the An family's face. I must find the entrance of this thing! "
