"Mr. Smith, this is Wang Changyou. Just call him Xiao Wang. He is a squad leader of our Hotan Geological Survey Brigade. He is a top student who graduated from Capital Geosciences University. He has very good abilities. This is Liu Changchuan and Liu Gong, and he is the pillar of our Hotan Highway Bureau. With them both here, you can basically solve any problems." Zhao Mingyi, deputy director of the Hotan Regional Investment and Merchants Bureau, said respectfully to Yang Jing.

Yang Jing looked at the two people in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. From the faces and hands of these two people, it can be seen that they are not the kind of people who sit in the office, but people who should be wandering around the wild all year round, otherwise their skin color would not be like this.

Neither of these two digits are very old. Wang Changyou of the surveying brigade is only 28 years old this year, and Liu Changchuan and Liu Gong are only 35 years old, both of which are just in their prime.

Zhao Mingyi was very happy to see Yang Jing very satisfied. To be honest, since the big boss flew around the air, he proposed to take a few people into the mountain for field investigation, and pointed out that there should be a geological expert and a road construction expert. What does this mean? This clearly shows that the big boss has already selected a place after flying around.

As long as the place is selected, will the investment be less?

Although Zhao Mingyi was happy, he still showed a worried look on his face and asked, "Mr. Smith, you really decided to go into the mountain yourself? That was very hard and dangerous, you..."

Yang Jing smiled and waved his hand and said, "Director Zhao, this is nothing. When I was in the United States, I often hiked in Rocky Mountain, and I often climbed to the top of the mountain three or four thousand meters to enjoy the scenery. Moreover, I have also been to the Alps in winter. Although the mountains there are not as high as Kunlun Mountain, the conditions are quite harsh. I think the situation in Kunlun Mountain is pretty good now. Besides, I don't go deep into the super alpine area in the south, it doesn't matter."

After a pause, Yang Jing said again: "Only I know where to choose the specific location now. If I don't follow, others may not be able to find that area. Moreover, I have bodyguards, and my bodyguards are all elite bodyguards retired from special forces. This kind of mountainous area at an altitude is nothing to them."

Seeing Yang Jing insisting, Zhao Mingyi shrugged and stopped talking.

However, Wang Changyou and Liu Changchuan seemed quite excited. Mr. Cole Smith's name was well-known these days. As native Hotanites, they naturally knew what this rich boss had done these days. Now, the boss actually chose them to follow them into the mountains. This is a very glorious thing.

Especially this blonde and blue-eyed boss, who speaks Mandarin so smoothly, which makes Wang Changyou and Liu Changchuan feel a little ashamed. They are both college students, but their Mandarin is simply a joke compared to this foreign boss.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Liu, do you two have anything else to prepare? We will probably need to stay in the mountain for a few days this time, so you must be ready." Yang Jing asked these two people with some concern.

Wang Changyou said nervously: "Mr. Smith, don't worry about this. We should prepare what we should prepare long ago. And I am more familiar with that mountainous area. I also know the supply points for some Tibetan hunters in the mountains. You don't have to worry about us."

Liu Changchuan, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Smith, Xiao Wang is a famous celebrity among us and field workers. In the past five years since he graduated and started working, he has almost wandered around the mountains in the northern part of the Kunlun Mountains. Not to mention the area we are going to, Xiao Wang has been to some places in the southern ultra-high mountainous areas."

When he heard this, Yang Jing looked at the young man with obvious red plateau on his face. He really didn't expect that this young man was so powerful.

Wang Changyou felt a little embarrassed when he was seen, and grabbed his scalp and explained: "Mr. Smith, I am just doing geological surveying. If I don't understand the actual situation in the local area, I will definitely not do this job well, so..."

Even though he said that, Yang Jing still gave the young man a big thumbs up.

The first day, everyone prepared for the whole day, and early the next morning, the group got on the car and drove east along National Highway 315.

What Yang Jing and his group were naturally riding in were the two Mitsubishi Pajero provided by the autonomous region government, and the cars brought by Wang Changyou and Liu Changchuan were a Ladaniva off-road vehicle.

When Yang Jing saw this car, he was also surprised, but then he felt relieved.

In China in the 1980s, when people talk about off-road vehicles, the ones that people remember most in their memory are the 212 Jeep. But in fact, in the 1980s, there was also a small off-road vehicle produced in the Soviet Union that was also very popular, that is, Radaniva.

This legendary off-road car, which was born in 1970 and still has its own style, was produced by the former Soviet Union's Lada Automobile Joint Factory.

The first sedan produced by the former Soviet Union Lada Automobile Joint Factory, established in 1966, was called 2101, which was a product that imitated the Italian Fiat 124. Ladaniva was a small off-road vehicle developed by the Lada Automobile Joint Factory on the basis of the chassis and power of the 2101. It started to be developed before 1973. The prototype car can be seen in many places. However, the body and power system are more common to the national sedan Lada 2101. It was mass-produced in 1977 and was later sold to Eastern European countries. In the 1980s and 1990s, some entered China by barter.

When Yang Jing saw this car, he was really interested. When Yang Jing was young, he remembered that he had ridden such a car. At that time, his father drove such a small off-road vehicle. However, after two years of driving that car, his father changed to a more advanced imported Mitsubishi Pajero.

Seeing that Yang Jing was interested in this car, Liu Changchuan smiled and explained: "This is a car in the bureau. It was brought in at that time in 1984. But although the car is small, this car is really good, especially resistant to manufacturing. This time, the bureau leader heard that he wanted to come out with you, so he asked me to drive this car and follow it out."

Yang Jing opened the car door and saw that some memories of his childhood emerged again.

Ladaniva is a small off-road vehicle. Compared with the huge body of other off-road vehicles, this car is really small and exquisite.

Compared with off-road vehicles that are often four or five meters long, the car is really small, and the space inside the car is not very large, especially the rear seat, which is even more terrible. People who are slightly taller will feel uncomfortable sitting in the back seat.

However, this car is really resistant to construction. Compared with the Cherokee of the same period, although Ladaniv is much smaller, it is definitely much better than the Cherokee.

The Cherokee of this era is of "a lady, a maid, a leg or a foot". The off-road performance is very strong, but the body is very weak and very easy to be damaged. The Radaniv is different. In actual use, many car owners found that the body strength of the Russian Niva is much stronger than that of the American Cherokee. After many extreme off-roads, the body damage of the Radaniv is much smaller than that of the Cherokee.

So, although this car is small and exquisite, it is an extremely excellent off-road vehicle in this era of modern times.

The car is well maintained, and Yang Jing was also interested and said with a smile: "Why should I drive this car?"

Liu Changchuan naturally would not say anything else about Yang Jing's request, and he smiled and gave up the driver's position.

Wang Changyou was not tall and he didn't feel crowded when he sat in the back seat. However, both of them put their luggage on the two Pajeroes, and then they squeezed into the car with Yang Jing.

Follow National Highway 315 and walk farther north, you will enter Luopu. As a county under the Hotan area, Luopu is only about twenty kilometers away from Hotan.

However, after arriving in Luopu, the car was far from the destination. After leaving Luopu, it got off the national highway, turned on a dirt road to the south, and drove over to Kunlun Mountain.

At this time, Luopu County was still very small and there were not so many oasis farmland around it, so it was not long after leaving Luopu that it entered the Gobi Desert.

After walking along the bumpy dirt road for about ten kilometers, we arrived at a big river.

This river is indeed very big, and Yang Jing doesn't know whether it is long or not, but this river looks very wide now, and the width of the river surface alone is definitely more than 100 meters. This is not in the eastern coastal area with abundant water and soil. It is a Gobi Desert. Such a surging river is rare in such a place.

Wang Changyou, who was sitting in the back seat, explained: "Mr. Smith, this river is the Achik River. Don't you see that the river is wide and the water flows very well, but by September, the river will dry up. This is a seasonal inland river. It is spring now, and the melting water of snow mountains makes the river look spectacular, but in fact, the river will disappear after flowing dozens of kilometers downstream."

Yang Jing nodded. He also knew that there were many seasonal inland rivers at the foot of Kunlun Mountain and the foot of Tianshan Mountain when he came. In spring and summer, the melting water of the snow-capped mountains provided sufficient water for these rivers to make these rivers abundant. Especially in summer, sometimes when the temperature is high in summer, these rivers may even flood and cause disasters.

This is the case for the Baiyu River and Moyu River in the Hotan area. Otherwise, when Yang Jing proposed to clean the river channel and build the dam for free a few days ago, Commissioner Zhu would agree so happily.
