Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

On the vast Gobi Desert in the northwest of Gansu Province, a huge convoy of more than ten vehicles is driving slowly on the gravel road.

There are no decent roads on the Gobi Desert, and cars can only drive on gravel roads.

In addition, it had only snowed a few days ago, and the place was deserted, and the road was covered by snow.

In desperation, Zhou Yang could only let a jeep clear the way ahead, and the rest of the cars followed closely behind.

In this way, even though there were no cars coming before and after, their speed could not be increased.

More importantly, except for Zhou Yang, none of them had ever been to the Malanshan base.

The only thing they can rely on now is a map and a radio in their hands. With these two things, whether they can find the Malanshan base deep in the Gobi Desert, and when they can find it all depends on luck.

Fortunately, Director Yang selected experienced auto soldiers for Zhou Yang. They have been driving on the Gobi stalls all year round, and they are completely able to control such terrain.

If the car soldiers in the plains were replaced, the bad road conditions might scare everyone away.

Originally less than 200 kilometers away, if you drive on flat ground, you can reach it in at most three hours.

But the current environment is really too bad. Zhou Yang and others walked for more than 7 hours after they came out of the research base of the Sixth Academy of Sciences, but they still couldn't find the Malanshan base.

Of course, on the one hand, it was because the road conditions were bad, and on the other hand, it was because they got lost.

After they entered the Gobi Desert, they went the wrong way three times.

Every time I walked and found that there was no way ahead, I had to pour it out again and continue to look for the way.

Going back and forth like this greatly affected the itinerary.

Seeing that the sun was already westward, the car in front of him stopped suddenly.

Afterwards, Zhu Junfeng, the security chief who was in charge of the transport mission, got out of the car, and strode towards Zhou Yang's car.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately got out of the car!

"Chief Zhu, why don't you leave?"

"Chief, it will be dark in about an hour. It seems that we will not be able to reach the Malanshan base today. Should we consider finding a campsite?"

Hearing Zhu Junfeng's words, Zhou Yang frowned.

Camping on a Gobi stand is very dangerous.

After all, right now is the coldest season of the year in the northwest region. At night, the outdoor temperature can reach minus thirty degrees.

Just relying on the thin tent and the cotton coat on the body, it may not be able to bear it.If you can't get there again, it will be troublesome.

But if you don’t camp, you have to continue driving, and it’s too dangerous to walk at night on the Gobi stalls. One mistake may cause a car crash and death.

"Chief Zhu, do you know how far we are from the Malanshan base?" Zhou Yang asked in a deep voice.

"According to the coordinates sent over there, there should be about forty kilometers left, but this is not particularly accurate!"

Then Zhu Junfeng said again: "Besides, we took the wrong road several times along the way. It is really hard to determine how far we have to go!"

Zhou Yang thought for a while and said: "Chief Zhu, it's fine to camp, not to mention the danger, there are still people at the base who need us to rescue, time is life!"

"Chief, are you going to travel overnight?" Zhu Junfeng frowned.

"Yes, I guess our current location is not too far from the Malanshan base!"

Then Zhou Yang said again: "It's just that the heavy snow has buried the road right now, and we can't find the way to the base. If we can determine the exact location of the base, we should be able to get there in a short time!"

Zhu Junfeng hurriedly said: "Chief, it's very dangerous to walk at night, and besides, we can't determine the location of the base!"

"We don't know, but the base must know. Let them send a plane to guide us in the air, wouldn't it be enough!"

Zhou Yang remembered that there were always one or two Z-[-] helicopters at the airport at the Malanshan base, and now he could only ask them to come here.

"But the base doesn't know our location now, unless we can send them our coordinates!"

"Then send them the coordinates!"

"But we don't know our exact coordinates!" Zhu Junfeng said.

"It's easy!"

Then Zhou Yang didn't say much, and went directly to the open place.

He first looked at the sky, then found a piece of dead wood and inserted it directly into the ground.

After observing for a while, Zhou Yang immediately said to Zhu Junfeng, who was not sure why: "Chief Zhu, bring a ruler over here!"

Although Zhu Junfeng didn't understand what Zhou Yang was doing, he went back to the car immediately and took a measuring tape.

After getting the tape measure, Zhou Yang first measured the length of the dead wood stick, and then measured the length of the shadow.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yang went back to the car, took out the paper and pen, and leaned over the hood of the car, writing and calculating.

After a while, he was done.

Afterwards, Zhou Yang handed the paper full of numbers to Zhu Junfeng.

"Chief..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yang pointed to the two numbers below and said, "This is our current coordinates!"

"what..."

"Mr. Zhu, now you ask the operator to send a report to the Malanshan base immediately, and report our coordinates to them, so that they can immediately send a helicopter to guide us!" Zhou Yang said.

"This...is this okay?" Zhu Junfeng said suspiciously.

Is it possible to determine their coordinates with just a stick and a ruler?

"Excuting an order!"

Zhou Yang didn't explain it to Zhu Junfeng. After all, even if he did, it would be impossible for him to understand these things with his level of education.

"Yes!"

Soon, the caller contacted the Malanshan base, and the other party replied that the plane would arrive soon.

Ten minutes later, when Zhu Junfeng and the others doubted whether the so-called coordinates calculated by Zhou Yang were accurate, there was a sudden buzzing sound in the sky.

Everyone looked up into the sky, and they saw a black dot moving from far to near, and it was a helicopter.

In an instant, everyone cheered, and everyone looked at Zhou Yang with admiration.

"Chief Zhu, launch a flare into the air immediately!"

"Yes!"

As the signal flare lifted off, the helicopter in the sky quickly spotted Zhou Yang and the others, and then flew straight towards their position.

After the plane flew over the convoy, the cabin door suddenly opened, and then a soldier was directly lowered from the plane.

After the soldier landed, he immediately walked in front of Zhou Yang and the others.

Seeing this sturdy soldier in front of him, Zhou Yang was quite excited.

Although he didn't know the soldier's name, he had seen him many times at the Malanshan base in his previous life.

After the soldiers came to Zhou Yang, they saluted first, and then said loudly, "Report to the commander, Wang Mingyuan, the guard battalion of Malanshan Base, is here to report to you!"

"Comrade Wang Mingyuan, how far is it from the base?"

"Report to the chief, less than 20 kilometers away!"

"Do you know the way? If you do, you don't need an airplane to guide you in the air!" Zhou Yang said.

"know!"

"Then let the plane go back, let's hurry up and try to reach the base before dark!"

"Yes!"

Afterwards, Wang Mingyuan immediately sent a signal to the comrades in the helicopter, and then he got into the car of Zhu Junfeng and others.

Soon, the convoy started east again and headed straight for the Malanshan base!
