Chapter 2 Northern Tibet

There was a loud bang in the sky, like a nuclear bomb of hundreds of thousands of tons of TNT-class explosion. A huge pit appeared out of thin air on the northern Tibetan plateau, with a diameter of dozens of meters.

Gradually, the scorching ground was cooled by the cold air in northern Tibet. A human-shaped head poked out from the small insulation layer of more than ten cubic meters with a Swiss army knife, and took a deep breath. After more than a year of confinement, he finally became free, but he came to a strange era, a strange plateau that left his beloved girlfriend forever. It was really an indescribable pain.

This man came out and felt it. Sure enough, the air was very thin. The northern Tibetan Plateau was really here. It is impossible to confirm whether it was late Qing Dynasty.

Below your feet is red soil with sparse vegetation, and in the distance are towering mountains covered with snow on the top. At first glance, you can't see any living things, which are barren and towering. The sky is covered with dark clouds, and it seems to be raining? Or snow? The clothes on your body are waterproof, so you don't have to worry about it. Where is this? Let's take a look at the answer to the positioning device first.

He took out the positioning meter from his pocket in the cold wind and aimed it at the sky. The starlight locator was also useful during the day. At this time, the starlight was just blocked by the sun. There was a large dark cloud above his head, but as long as a small piece of starry sky was found, the instrument could work. The result came out - it was really cruel, it was an uninhabited area in northern Tibet. Tibet is so big and densely populated, just a little bit of Lhasa, and it was really a thousand miles away.

Going aimlessly, he walked on the desolate reddish-brown land with a small backpack on his back. He had just checked it. It was exactly the equipment that the executive promised to give: particle beam pistol, Zippo, Swiss army knife, snow tent, and molecular separator. The particle beam gun must be placed in his pocket to prevent emergencies. However, it was really desolate, so desolate that he had to worry about whether he could find an animal to hunt before starving to death.

He has 50% East Asian ancestry. This race is characterized by a short nasal cavity. The cold air is poured into his lungs before it can heat up, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable. He pulled the wind hood, and his subconscious action was actually useless.

Now he has to make a decision, whether to go south to a place with a high population density, or to east to a place with a river? The main river closer to him is the Tuotuo River, the source of the Yangtze River. Only places with water sources can have more animals, and for him there are more opportunities for survival.

It’s better to look for water sources eastward. Survival is important, there is nothing to go to Lhasa.

Fortunately, he was only 10 kilometers away from the Tuotuo River, and the distance was not far. Moreover, the weather here was not as terrible as he thought, and it was probably only about ten degrees below zero. He had also stayed in St. Petersburg, Russia, and did not feel that the temperature was very cold now.

The nearest city he is Lhasa, but he is now in Qinghai. After walking for half an hour, he actually didn't see a walking animal! But finally, he heard a whine from the sky. It was too far away and it was unreal. It might be a vulture. No matter what, it would be a living creature, but it really doesn't work. I pulled the vulture down and barbecue it. It was estimated that it was more than 200 meters away from the ground, exceeding the effective range of 100 meters of the particle beam gun. However, this was too simple. Just pretend to be dead and lure it down.

He saw the vulture landing in a place from afar, and his heart moved. This was the rhythm of finding food. So there was an animal in front of him? Very good. He accelerated his pace and took off his gun at the same time, turned on the insurance and fired a shot to test his performance. With a crisp "puff" sound, he immediately saw the dust stirred up by the beam of particles on the ground, and he felt relieved.

He saw three Tibetan wolves eating a Tibetan antelope, while two vultures pecked at some meat residue.

Seeing that the slender sheep horned Tibetan antelope unfortunately became a meal on the wolf pack, someone did not sympathize with it, but came up with an idea. It turned out that he came to the habitat of Tibetan antelope. It was very good. Now there is no need to worry about what to rely on to make a living in the future and do fur business. The fluff of Tibetan antelope is known as soft gold, and hunting a bunch of Tibetan antelope is considered gold hunting. Although it is a little cruel, a penniless person like him has to make this bad decision to survive in this world.

The Kashmiris in northern India called the fur of Tibetan antelope "Shatush", which means the king of cashmere. After making a shawl, the Shatush weighs only 100 grams, and it can be worn through a ring. Traditional fur merchants use this method to test whether Shatush is genuine, and its value is comparable to an intermediate car.

As a doctoral student at MIT, he loves to study the history of science and has studied major engineering and scientific progress, but he really cannot imagine how to make the Shatush shawl. There is always an inertia in the business of the world. European noble girls represented by Queen Napoleon Josephine like styles from Kashmir. They know the ins and outs of this product, so they will consume it. If the Shatush shawl you make is not made by Kashmir, it may not be sold well. As soon as he thought of this, he changed his mind and collected sheepskin first, then rushed to Lhasa. Maybe there were fur merchants from India who followed these fur merchants to Kashmir to learn to make shawls. At least they had to look at the styles, imitate them, and then go to Europe to sell them in person.

The road to doing business is difficult.

The late Qing Dynasty was the darkest era in China. He was neither able to change reality nor had such noble wishes. Go to Europe to be a businessman.

The three big bad wolves were full, but they roared fiercely at the humans twice, not chasing them. Moreover, because the humans did not run away at all, with particle beam guns in their hands, these wolves were similar to Chihuahuas in his eyes.

He climbed a small hill and looked into the distance and found a group of Tibetan antelope figures. After marking it on his handheld device, he walked towards the flock slowly. This is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is best not to do the "run" sport. Even if you have to do it, you will try it after adapting for many days, not now.

Finally, it was approaching the range that could be shot. When it was about 40 meters, some Tibetan antelope began to escape alertly. The particle beam muzzle in the hunter's hand sprayed a small purple light, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air. Since the particle beam was in an electric acceleration mode and did not have the violent explosive power of gunpowder bullets, the recoil was not large, and the hunter was able to shoot continuously easily. With the screams of the Tibetan antelope, the flock finally understood that the disaster star was coming and ran wildly. At this time, the hunter had fired 10 shots, 8 shots, 7 Tibetan antelope fell to the ground, and one was injured and still had the ability to escape. A hunting ended with the number 7, and the last Tibetan antelope ran a hundred meters away.

The results of the battle are neither good nor bad, anyway, it's enough for him to work for a while. He spread the mushroom tent at the upper air outlet, and then dragged the Tibetan antelope he hunted to the lower air outlet for work. All the textiles are nothing more than spinning cashmere into yarn, spinning into thread, and weaving them into various clothes, so he just shaves off the light cashmere and it's OK. Although mutton is valuable, he can't bring so much by himself, so he has to take advantage of the wolves or vultures.

The universal Swiss Army Knife mentioned earlier came in handy. He set the variable end to the electric razor mode, and then he could remove the wool of the Tibetan antelope. The speed was very fast. He looked at the clock included on the positioner and could get one in two minutes.

The second step is to peel off the sheepskin and make it into a bag so that cashmere can be put into it. At this time, the sharp side of the Swiss Army blade comes in handy, and this nano-scale super sharp blade is easily capable of skinning.

When he peeled off the sheepskin, the vultures came to make trouble, and the hunter unwillingly shot the early guests, lest they stain the cashmere.

After removing the threat from vultures, he began to implement the third step - using a molecular separator to dry the sheepskin. Dehumidification is the basic function of the separator, and sterilization with strong ultraviolet rays takes only twenty seconds to make the sheepskin further available.

After dehumidification and sterilization, the cashmere was put into the sheepskin bag and placed next to the tent. The skinner went to carry out the next step of work. In this cycle, the seven Tibetan antelope were actually packed up in less than 10 minutes. It seems that the hunting process is the shortcoming, because the sheep ran far away and it took a lot of time to chase.

After collecting the cashmere, he drew a second bag, this time it was used to place air-dried mutton. He had already thought that using the separator radiation to cook mutton, eating was no longer a problem, the problem was that there was no water source. By the way, the separator obviously obtained a small amount of distilled water during the dehumidification process, and this water was enough to maintain a person's livelihood.
