Doesn’t the Liusha River exist in mythological stories? Why would Qin Shouyi suddenly mention it? And from his tone, it seemed that the Liusha River really exists. ▲∴

Wan Yi, confused, couldn't help asking this question, and everyone laughed, including Lin Jianxue, who had been taciturn, also burst into laughter.

"Xiao Wan, let me ask you, what is "Journey to the West" written?" Zhang Liyun asked with a smile when he saw Wan Yi looking confused.

"Of course it is the story of Tang Monk seeking the scriptures in the West." Wan Yi didn't even want to blurt out.

"That's right, Tang Monk seeks scriptures from the West, who is this Tang Monk?"

"Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty, also known as Master Sanzang"

"Haha, then do you know where you went to the so-called West to obtain the scriptures?"

"Tianzhu is an ancient Indian region. The book writes about the Great Leiyin Temple in the West. Historical records should be Nalanda Temple, the Buddhist center of ancient India."

"Who wrote "Journey to the West"? What era is the author from?"

"Wu Cheng'en! Ming Dynasty people."

"You don't understand it very clearly." Zhang Liyun smiled happily, but Wan Yi still didn't understand what it had to do with Liusha River.

Zhang Liyun then patiently explained that Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty went to Nalanda Temple to seek scriptures, traveled westward, and finally retrieved the true scriptures and promoted Buddhism. This has been recorded in history, and the only way for Master Xuanzang to travel west was the Western Regions, which is now the northwest region of China.

In ancient times, the road from the Central Plains to the Western Regions was very famous. This is the famous "Silk Road". This Silk Road is not easy to walk on, and it is full of difficulties. It not only requires crossing countless mountains, rivers, but also the vast desert. The most dangerous section of the road is the journey through the desert.

As a Ming Dynasty man, Wu Chengen wrote the book "Journey to the West", but Wu Chengen had never been to the Western Regions. The concept of the Western Regions was heard of besides his imagination. In the desert, the most terrifying thing is actually not the storm, because experienced travelers can often predict storms in advance based on various factors such as weather, environment, and animal reactions. Thus, they find ways to avoid it. In the desert, the most dangerous thing is actually the unpredictable quicksand. If you accidentally break in the large area of ​​quicksand, you can't escape even if you have the ability to reach the sky.

Moreover, quicksand is not fixed, its area is as unpredictable as a river. Even the experienced explorers are careful when they move forward every step after entering the desert, and are worried that once they encounter quicksand, they will even end up without any corpse.

It is precisely for this reason that the ancients changed their terror when talking about the quicksand river. Wu Chengen, who had never been to the desert, only heard about the name of the quicksand river and its terribleness, but he did not know that the quicksand river was actually not a real river. Therefore, when Wu Chengen wrote a book, he naturally described the quicksand river as a surging river. How could he know that the real quicksand river is actually hidden deep in the desert. From the surface, there is no difference between it and ordinary sand. Only when a human or an animal stepped on it, he could no longer get rid of the swallowing of quicksand.

As a geological exploration team member, especially Lin Jianxue, who has been working in the desert for many years, they are very clear about this allusion, but this is the first time Wan Yi heard about it. After listening to Zhang Liyun's explanation, Wan Yi suddenly realized and understood the origin of the so-called Liusha River.

"So Xiao Wan, Xiao Qin reminded me right. We don't have the ability of Sun Wuzi. If you accidentally fall into the Liusha River, it will be a big problem." Zhang Liyun finally reminded him seriously, but he also said that Wan Yi should not be too worried. Although Liusha River is common in the desert, it is also very dangerous. But now it is not ancient. After all, the team members will take turns to explore the way with equipment after entering the desert to prevent them from accidentally entering the Liusha River. Once you really fall into it accidentally, just relax your body and lean back as much as possible and spread your limbs, and with the help of everyone, you can still escape from the quicksand.

In order to let Wan Yi intuitively understand how to deal with quicksand, Wang Xiaoshan specially taught Wan Yi some basic actions step by step. In addition, he repeatedly told Wan Yi that if he really encountered this situation, he must follow the method he taught. At the same time, he should not panic. As long as he calmed down, there would definitely not be too big problems.

Thank you everyone, Wan Yi thought about it silently, but he didn't know what he thought of, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

Looking at his expression, Wu Jun asked Wan Yi with a smile if he was scared by the description of the Liusha River, and at the same time he didn't have to worry. It was no longer ancient times. With the development of science and technology, the exploration team's equipment was very complete, and they also encountered the quicksand in the desert and returned better. Haven't they all passed by safely?

"That's right, I said Xiao Wan, now that people can go to heaven, why are you afraid of quicksand? Let's be happy with a hundred hearts. As long as you don't run around, it's absolutely okay to follow us." Wang Xiaoshan patted Wan Yi's shoulder and comforted him. Wan Yi smiled and nodded, but there seemed to be some thoughts in his eyebrows.

Everyone thought that Wan Yi was still afraid of the description of Liushahe just now, so they didn't think much about it. Wang Xiaoshan happened to talk about the matter of man and heaven, and on this topic, the few people started chatting enthusiastically.

The hottest topic in the past six months is the matter of human beings going to heaven. To be precise, it is news about spacecraft. About half a year ago, it was suddenly reported that Americans launched a spacecraft into the depths of space in the low-Earth orbit of the earth. This spacecraft actually uses controllable thermonuclear fusion as engine power, and also has an artificial gravity system and an ecological balance circle. The United States claims that this spacecraft named Hades is responsible for exploring the solar system, and at the same time announced that human beings have officially entered the aerospace era from then on.

This news caused a huge sensation in an instant. At first, many people dared not believe it was true, but the United States then released images of Hades entering orbit in Earth space, including a video of the spacecraft starting to fly to space. When people all over the world saw the heroic posture of the huge spacecraft flying into the depths of space, they were amazed and shocked by the development of the United States' technology.

Who would have thought that just the day after the Americans announced, Russia also announced a news that when the Americans launched the Hades spacecraft into space, Russia also launched the Starry Sky spacecraft belonging to Russia. Although Russia has not disclosed the specific situation of Starry Sky, judging from the video of Starry Sky flying into space released by Russia, the huge Starry Sky is no less than the Americans' Hades spacecraft. The disclosure of this news made the whole world stunned for a moment.

But the matter is not over. Then, before the whole world could react from these two consecutive messages, the Chinese side, who had been low-key, suddenly announced a news. China claimed that after the United States and Russia, China also mastered the spacecraft technology and successfully launched the Pioneer spacecraft. Now, the Pioneer spacecraft is flying to the depths of space, just like the American Hades and Russia's Starry Sky, exploring the entire solar system.
