Eight hundred and eleventh chapter victory

It wasn't until the sandstorm was right in front of them that the audience realized how high it was.

It was obviously just a yellow line on the horizon at first, then a yellow belt, then a yellow wall, and when it was less than a hundred meters away, it turned into a yellow curtain, and finally it completely blocked the sky.

Full of pressure.

A heavy hammer made of sand and dust hit the audience's hearts hard.

The exaggerated words in the barrage were finally reduced a lot. It was just a joke, but when it came to reality, it was still worrying.

With his back to the sandstorm, Bi Fang huddled under the camel. He could feel the wind above his head getting stronger and stronger, and the whistling sound of cutting the air was like someone roaring into his ears, and his eardrums kept vibrating.

to break.

The gravel penetrated everywhere, and Bi Fang closed his eyes tightly.

These gravels move at astonishing speeds under the influence of strong winds, and their power can be felt even through clothes, as if they are trying to cut small holes in a person's body.

Camels are naturally experienced in fighting sandstorms. Although they were a little frightened at the beginning, during the actual confrontation, they lost all panic and sat down on the ground motionless.

The sand around me piled up and came back again, falling into a strange dynamic balance.

On average, a dizzying 182 million tons of dust flows out of the western Sahara every year, enough to fill 689,290 trucks.

These Saharan dust clouds constitute the largest migration on Earth - a "mineral migration" more spectacular than the animal migrations most people are familiar with.

Storms in the Sahara send huge plumes of desert dust suspended thousands of feet above the Earth's surface.

Subsequently, these thousands of kilometers of camel-colored dust will ride on the trade winds and drift westward across the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, traveling across half of the earth.

In fact, Saharan dust clouds cross the entire intercontinental continent all the time. These plumes of unusually large volume and density can pass through the entire ocean and reach the other end of the earth.

Along the way, the dust falls into the ocean, into the rainforest, and into human settlements.

The Saharan dust cloud is a tumbling ribbon of life-giving minerals like iron and phosphorus

At first glance, although the migration of brown dust has a scale across continents and oceans, it is still not as shocking and exciting as the mighty migration of animals.

But it can fertilize some of the most biodiverse oases on Earth, including the lush Amazon rainforest.

Phosphorus is an important nutrient for plant growth, but rainfall or flooding can cause phosphorus to be lost from rainforest soils.

In rainforests like the Amazon, continuous rainfall is a daily occurrence.

For this reason, 22,000 tons of Saharan dust every year bring enough phosphorus to rainforests such as the Amazon to replace minerals lost due to rainfall leaching.

Even though he had covered his mouth and nose, Bifang could still feel dust pouring in through various invisible gaps, and then sticking to his respiratory tract, making him want to cough, but coughing in a sandstorm could only make him choke.

Apart from the risk of breathing, the sand has no other benefits, so Bi Fang can only endure it.

A sandstorm may last for tens of minutes or several hours. Even if it is not fatal, it is definitely extremely difficult to endure.

Two hours later, the piles of sand around us were getting higher and higher. It was obvious that it was already late and the wind was not strong enough, so the sand was still piled up.

Bi Fang began to shake his body gently to shake off the sand to avoid being buried alive.

Another hour passed, the wind and sand gradually subsided, and the sky finally appeared in the audience's sight again.

In the past three hours, they could see almost nothing, it was pitch black, and only the howling wind reminded everyone that the live broadcast was not over.

The camera fell into silence.

There is no sound.

There was no movement.

The audience couldn't help but start to worry, but fortunately the worry did not last long.

The quiet desert became a little loose, and the sand gradually slipped away. Finally, a hand suddenly popped out from the sand pile, and then bigger changes began to occur. A huge sandbag bulged and then exploded.

Alpha shook its body, and countless fine sand flowed out of its hair, forming thin streams.

Bi Fang followed him, coughing, and finally spit it out.

After a few mouthfuls of saliva, he spat out the sand in his mouth. He felt that there was a slight smell of blood in his mouth. He didn't know if his nose was scratched with blood by the sand or something. When he saw the camera, he smiled and shrugged:

"Look, I said there's no big problem, cough, bah, bah."

"You have actually seen that it is not that important what kind of shelter you choose. It can be a piece of boulder or a car. The key is to squat on the leeward side of the shelter."

"If you know a sandstorm is coming soon, don't spend too long looking for it, because finding shelter in the desert can be difficult. When a sandstorm comes quickly, your time is better spent preparing

Fight the sandstorm."

[Fang Shen: Small Scene]

[I have experienced more exciting things (dog head)]

[To be honest, the underwater volcano that caused the tsunami last time and the surfing one were the best in the world]

[Sulfuric acid sea, hundred-degree steam, tsunami, volcano, indeed]

Bi Fang looked at the terrain that was almost completely different from before. He was a little confused for a moment, but it was not his first experience. He quickly came back to his senses and found the direction again.

"Sandstorms appeared so quickly before that many people didn't have time to say anything."

"There are two key points in dealing with sandstorms. One is to breathe, and the second is to lower your center of gravity."

"Strong winds will blow up many large pieces of debris. The lower you are, the lower the chance of being hit by these debris. Of course, you should protect your head and neck by holding your head with your hands."

"And heavy sand grains are close to the ground, while finer particles will float in the air. It is those fine sand grains that harm the respiratory tract."

After finding the direction, Bi Fang pulled the reins and did not choose to ride. Instead, he led Alpha and walked on the desert.

He didn't always ride a camel, especially when the animal had just experienced danger and the animal might not have calmed down yet.

"Before you get close to the ground, you must first know your position. When squatting down, know the direction you are facing and where you want to go."

"Don't move even half a step in a sandstorm. After the sandstorm, the surroundings may change drastically, but you still have to know where to go next."

"If you are traveling in a group, walk arm in arm. Sandstorms can be scary and easily disorienting. You don't want anyone in your group to get frightened or get lost."

"By the way, there is one more thing to note. Although it does not conform to general logic, sandstorms may cause unexpected lightning strikes. However, there is no way to defend against this thing. We can only rely on luck. Of course, this probability is also very small, and the resulting
