Badain Jaran, the most beautiful desert in China, was once regarded as a forbidden area in life, but in recent years it seems to have become a "land of online celebrities".

But its difficulties and risks can never be underestimated. There are many posts on the internet that have been written for days and nights through Batangarin, and many people have lost their halberds.

Three southern cross-country people who started playing sand in Badain Jaran ten years ago had an idea a few years ago: to challenge the shortest time to cross the longest route in Badain Jaran, from Meng Gen to Aerospace City.

165438+202017: 00 am on October 9.

On the edge of Badain Jaran desert

A small team was officially dispatched from Meng Gen (Huangcao Lake)

It is planned to complete the crossing of the east-west longest line in Badain Jilin in 10 hour.

I'm an accompanying witness.

For the participants,

This is their desert cross-country for more than ten years.

I want to give myself a sampling test.

They qualified for the exam many years ago.

It's just often delayed and missed for various reasons.

Unfortunately, however,

I finally failed to hand in a perfect answer sheet this time.

But I still want to record it.

Record those who are crazy about desert, cross-country and love.

[Although the driving time can also be said to have completed the challenge.

But since our first night camping in the desert,

It was not worn on the same day as planned, so it was not perfect. ]

Meng Gen (Huangcaohu)-Aerospace City

The linear distance measured by the map is about 289km.

Our final actual driving distance: 380km.

Most of the whole process is straight cutting the knife peak.

Challenge is not conquest.

But to learn to be more afraid of nature.

There is no need to explore the significance of doing such a thing.

Ask, no.

I did it just because I liked it.

Because of my love, I have no hesitation.

Introduction of the main members of the challenger

Team Feng, born after 1985, began to contact the desert about ten years ago, and then fell in love with the desert out of control.

After a game, he accidentally knocked over his UTV in the desert. After the car overturned several times, he was seriously injured and his life was in danger. Finally, of course, I escaped, but at the cost of having a liver removed.

His family was naturally worried and refused him to play desert and cross-country again. But after seriously reflecting and examining himself, he finally persuaded his family: "If you can't play with cars, there will be no happiness in life."

"After that, I was more cautious. But cross-country is my biggest hobby in my life, and it can be said that it is the only hobby. If there is no off-road vehicle, if I can't play in the desert, then my life will be meaningless and unhappy. "

Team Feng and his vehicle are here.

Tussaud, a somewhat domineering name. But Tussaud is actually a gentle and elegant person, a post-80 s and post-70 s.

He said that people live young because they are young.

Many years ago, when he first came to the desert, he felt addicted and poisoned, and there was no solution to this poison, so he named it Tussaud.

Although Tussaud, a southerner, still thinks that the winter in the northwest is bare, he loves the desert so much that he can't help going.

Left: Tussaud | Right: Yin Na Tai

Nai Entai, a Mongolian man who lives in Badain Jilin Town, is responsible for the supply guarantee of this trip.

On the day when the sand came out, he invited us to his house for dinner, which was full of trophies won from the competition. He likes joking, but when I really praised him as a master, he was very modest, "just for fun."

That voice is really "just for fun". He wants to try his new 80. In fact, it's a piece of old LC80 that is older than me after 90.

After 60 God 2, an old urchin.

The ancients said that at the age of 50, people who don't understand will probably think that they are still so playful at this age. And it is said that God of the Desert 2, which has been playing for more than ten years, should be tired of playing. But I can't. It's hard not to go to the desert five or six hundred and seventy-eight times a year.

God 2 loves to play two herders in the desert. After playing for more than ten years, I can't adapt to another car.

Challenge travel records

165438+1On October 8th, we arrived and stayed in Yabrai. From the distance, it is more suitable to live in Meng Gen, but considering the accommodation conditions in Meng Gen, I finally chose to live in Jaboulay.

165438+1At 5: 30am on October 9th, we set off from Jaboulay Hotel for Meng Gen (Gancao Lake).

We met an Aobao on the road, and the sound took us around several times. He said it was a blessing ceremony.

At about 7 o'clock, we arrived at the sand inlet of Meng Gen, deflated the tires, inserted flagpoles, and prepared to enter the sand.

When I first entered the sand, it was still dark, and the flagpole lamp in front of the car flashed brightly, guiding the direction like a lighthouse in the vast desert. It is said that this Hanji American flagpole lamp also has the function of team building and social interaction, but we have not conducted too much research. However, when I decided to camp at night, I was surprised to find that it could still be illuminated by camping lights.

For most of the morning, we made rapid and steady progress.

Playing in the desert and riding have fun, but for more people, one is not as happy as one.

Cooperate with rescue when trapped in the car; When lost, guide the way; When you successfully climb one sand mountain after another, share happiness. This is also the meaning of cross-country brothers.

Suddenly I want to share a passage from Gao Jinsong about cross-country:

"In the eyes of many people, we are just a group of boring lunatics with money to burn. But they don't know that we are off-road: not snobbish, not utilitarian, not yielding, not giving up; We work as a team and are willing to give the last bit of food and water to others. We encourage each other with our sincerity ... "

Gao Jinsong's The Herdsman is never a legend, but the story behind it is.

In fact, if you just look at driving, the whole journey is very smooth, and the number of times you lift the car is very few. You can get out of trouble by simply dragging it. ?

However, I am ashamed. As a witness to their "exam", I am also a frequent visitor to the desert, but this time I lost my chain. ...

When I met Team Feng, he probably thought I was surprisingly calm under any circumstances, so he asked me, "If there is an opportunity, can you ask me to take the lead in the competition?"

None of us would have thought at that time, and soon I was in a completely unsettled situation in Badain Jaran.

At about 1 1 in the morning, I suddenly began to feel dizzy and later vomited. The mental state is ok, but the uncomfortable state can't be controlled at all.

To this end, in the next trip, the team had to stop for about 40 minutes to give me a rest. ...

Later, because of constant rest, many trips were delayed. At 5: 30 in the afternoon, it's getting dark, and we still have more than 100 kilometers to go.

In the end, everyone decided to "give up the exam temporarily" and camped in the desert that night.

Water under the bridge, enjoy the desert night.

Listen to the sound of breeze and sand, the crack of firewood, the singing of stars and stories. ...

There is no light pollution in the desert hinterland, and the vast starry sky is within reach (Huawei's mobile phone is very powerful).

I didn't sleep very well. Every time I camp in the desert, I can sleep well. Big C says you are probably suitable for living in the desert.

165438+ 10/0, probably because of the "challenge" mentality, everyone was more relaxed, and the departure time was directly delayed to 10: 30, and the rest of the trip was to look at the scenery slowly and leisurely with a playful attitude.

Arrive at the Space City around 1: 30 in the afternoon, inflate the vehicle and pave the road.

At this point, the challenge crossed the longest route in Badain Jaran in the shortest time and ended in an imperfect way.

Regret? Of course it's a pity.

Tussauds even made up her mind to go again165438+1October1,and the small team decided to go, but eventually gave up for various reasons. Running down after a trip is also a great test of physical strength.

Before leaving, Team Feng once said: If 10 hours completes this trip, this day will be enough to brag for a lifetime.

Although regret is not perfect, it may not be something you can brag about all your life, but what you have experienced is what you have experienced, which will be a part of your life.

Those highlights of success are worth celebrating.

Those unfinished dreams are also worth remembering.

Because I have tossed, experienced and tried.

I have always been crazy about what I love.

This is also a meaning that everyone discovers about life.

Maybe life itself is bitter, but cross-country is a candy.

You know, playing cross-country more is a kind of spirit.

Raptors consume an average of 40 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.
