Chapter 5281: Desert tracking
"If you don't follow them, you can know where they are going?" Gerbil said strangely, "You mean relying on satellites?"
Lin Rui shook his head, "The power of science and technology is very useful, but not everything depends on science and technology. Satellites have an operating cycle, they are not geosynchronous satellites, and it is impossible to fix them above them.
If they cover up well enough, even satellites will not be able to spot them.
There is another method called tracking. Although very old and primitive, they are usually very practical. "
"Let's go, we should act." Zhao Jianfei nodded to him.
Following the underground culvert, he came out of a dry well outside the city.
Lin Rui quickly discerned the direction, and then pointed, "Go over there. Their convoy drove from the checkpoint to the desert. So we should be able to find their traces over there."
The towering sand hills separate the vast desert into deep ravines.
The gerbil man prepared a few camels and a very old car for them. Right in the dry well. A nearby point of contact.
Lin Rui is no stranger to camels. These camels in the African desert run very fast, galloping freely on the golden desert, while the car is crawling up and down like a beetle.
Before entering the desert, Zhao Jianfei let out a part of the tires.
It not only prevents tire puncture caused by high tire pressure caused by high temperature of sand meter, but also enlarges the contact area between tire and sand meter, so that the vehicle can drive safely in the desert.
Native Africans have many peculiar abilities, and tracking is one of them. This kind of unique ability originally used to hunt down prey can also find the traces left by the caravan in the desert.
And Lin Rui's tracking technique was learned from Quentin, a black man.
There was nothing in this area except for some bushes and thorny grass. There is a thin layer of crust on the red sand, which is relatively soft, and clear footprints are formed every step of the way.
Lin Rui shook his head, "They are driving, this piece of sand is too soft. So they should avoid it."
There is a desert in front, no sand, only bare rocks. When Lin Rui and the others rode through the hill on a camel, they deliberately took a detour, as if they had changed their direction.
After bypassing the rock, Lin Rui cautiously moved forward among the small stalls of sand and rocks, and deliberately avoided the loose rocks.
Lin Rui lowered his head from time to time, carefully observing the traces of the road.
After walking several hundred meters, it seems that the team left no traces.
When Lin Rui rode a camel to reach the edge of the rock, he changed direction again, and then headed for the distant mountain.
Every few minutes, he turned around and walked back, and always wandered through the collapsed anthills, or through dense bushes.
Two hours passed, and their team moved forward while searching.
Zhao Jianfei couldn't bear the dryness of the desert, so he hid in the shadow behind a large boulder to rest, and lit a cigarette.
"Go here." Lin Rui suddenly made a gesture.
"But there is nothing here." The magician was a little dazed.
"No, there are still traces." Lin Rui smiled, holding a small section of a broken branch in his hand, which is a very short desert plant.
"They broke it when the convoy passed by. The direction the plant fell under the force made me know that he changed direction over there and crossed the hill.
Go in that direction. "
Everyone looked for the past with suspicion, and as expected, they found obvious traces of wheels in the position where Lin Rui was instructing.
"How did you do it?" The magician was a little strange.
"Part of it was learned from Quentin when I was training, and part of it was learned from the local indigenous people." Lin Rui replied.
"In the past, in order to survive, indigenous people had to develop excellent tracking skills. The hunting culture in Africa is still handed down.
Nowadays, children in European and American countries no longer need to go deep into the barren mountains to find food, just go to the local store to buy fried chicken or hamburger.
There are hard concrete roads everywhere in the city, and such technology has long been useless.
But some things still need to be mastered for the scout. "Zhao Jianfei smiled.
Lin Rui lowered his head and looked at the wheel mark he found. "They went there."
"The speed of the car does not quickly indicate that they are close enough to the destination." Lin Rui nodded.
"How do you know? Can this also be seen?" the gerbil asked.
"It can be seen. If they are getting faster and faster, they can directly pass through the sand dunes.
And they choose to go in this direction, indicating that their speed is not high.
Either you don't want to leave too obvious traces, or you are not far from your destination.
And from the point of view of mechanism, if something happens to them in this area. Other Oromi Federal Departments can come as quickly as possible. Instead of waiting too long. Lin Rui explained.
"Yes, it makes sense." Zhao Jianfei nodded.
"And I don't know if you have found them. The rocks we have just discovered are all in roughly regular shapes.
Although in the desert, the weathering is very serious. But I can be sure that these stones are processed.
There are many similar stones in this area. This kind of stone is likely to come from ancient ruins.
Of course, in ancient times, these stones may be more delicate and beautiful.
But because it is exposed to the surface, the sand particles blown by the wind continue to erode. It has been severely weathered for many years, and it has formed the way it is now.
And the secret arsenal organized by the secret society can be linked to the ancient ruins that were hidden under the sand.
So I can tell that we are very close to our goal. This underground facility should be attached to our location.
But if this is the case, the current situation is actually very dangerous.
It means that we are very close to the enemy, and they are in the dark, we are in the light. We have to be very careful. "
"But even with these stones, it doesn't prove that this is the enemy's secret arsenal." The gerbil didn't understand.
"I think the secret arsenal is here. Because the reason is very simple, this is not a pure desert, but close to the topography of the desert Gobi.
In addition, there are some sparse desert plants on the surface, which is the best place to cover the underground entrance.
You think, if it is in a pure desert. The effect of wind is very large, and the entrance of underground facilities will be covered by wind and sand at any time.
But here is different, these large rocks protruding from the surface can be used as a reference. It can also avoid the entrance of underground facilities being covered by a lot of wind and sand. "Zhao Jianfei said in a low voice.
"And only this kind of terrain is really suitable for hiding." The magician also nodded.
