In addition to the sacred mountain in Greek mythology, there are two Mount Olympus in the real world, one in Greece, with an altitude of 2,917 meters, and the other on Mars, which is meters above the Martian base level and almost as high as two and a half Mount Everests.
Xia Yu felt that challenging it was more interesting than challenging Mount Everest. It would be even more interesting if he could plant the national flag on the top of Mount Olympus and have it photographed by the Hubble telescope.
His bad taste remains the same, but with the current level of technology on Earth, it will probably be possible only after 2030. By then, Xia Yu will be 30 years old, and he can't wait that long.
Maybe around 2020. If the system doesn't reward him with a spaceship, he will use the teleportation gun he drew before to go to Mars. These days, it would be embarrassing to call himself a rich man if he hasn't been to the universe.
Driving on the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway with an average altitude of 4,500 meters and crossing one mountain after another, the two finally entered the western Xinjiang region.
In May, flowers and snow-capped mountains coexist in the western Xinjiang, presenting a scene of early spring. Everywhere you look, you can see the vibrant vitality and unique charm.
After arriving at Yecheng, the starting point of the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway, they resupplied again. First, they filled the car's 500L fuel tank. The emergency spare fuel tank had not been touched before and was still full. The water tank was also filled again.
The food was the third batch of supplies transported from Kashgar Airport, and they planned to enter the desert next.
The Taklamakan Desert was once known as the Sea of Death. Countless people have died here over the centuries, but countless people still yearn for it.
Today, only ruins remain of the prosperity of the ancient Silk Road, but the development of modern civilization has built several roads in the desert, bringing new prosperity here.
Xia Yu didn't take such a good road and rushed into the desert with his senior sister.
Family cars are prone to getting stuck in sandstorms, but Unimog does not have this problem. As early as 2006, a thousand Unimogs entered the Taklamakan region for oil exploration. These were only 4×4 versions. Now they have been replaced with 6×6, which not only has more powerful power but also has a stronger ability to adapt to terrain.
"Buzz~~"
The drone on the roof was directly awakened by the PDA, and it took off into the air with a six-axis hover, recording the vast desert and the yellow sand raised by the off-road RV.
"Senior, do you want to learn B-photography?"
Xia Yu asked Yin Suya while driving.
"I don't want to."
Yin Suya refused immediately.
What a joke! It takes so much effort to get a C license, and getting a B license would be a death sentence. She would rather die than learn it.
"Look, the conditions here are so good, let me teach you!"
After driving for so many days in a row, Xia Yu was a little bored, so he wanted to have some fun, and teaching his senior sister how to drive was just right.
"That's fine, but I'm not going to take the exam!"
There’s nothing wrong with driving in the desert, but taking exams is absolutely not an option. This is Yin Suya’s bottom line.
"No exams, come, let's teach you step by step."
Xia Yu said, patting his thigh.
"Get lost, you're so dishonest all day long."
"No more joking, let's change positions."
After swapping seats, Xia Yu also started teaching. During the process, he found that the senior sister was quite talented. If you don't pay attention to lights and other things, you can quickly get the hang of traffic rules and driving.
No wonder there are so many girls driving trucks in Europe and North America. Female drivers sometimes have advantages.
Seeing that the senior student was becoming more and more skilled in driving, Xia Yu simply let go and continued to control the drone to fly forward.
"Something's happening!"
It was the time when the afternoon sunlight was at its strongest, and there was no dust interference. Xia Yu clearly saw a rotten coffin half buried in the yellow sand. They had come across a wild grave.
Although it is called the Sea of Death, before the Niya River dried up, there were oases of various sizes in the Taklamakan Desert. These oases nurtured the people in the desert, and then with the passage of time, they grew and died, and completely disappeared in the long river of history.
These small countries and tribes disappeared, but left behind relics in the vast sea of sand. There were ancient cities and villages when they were alive, and there are desert tombs of various regulations after their death.
Just talking about these ancient tombs, some have been looted, some have been excavated by archaeological departments for rescue, and some continue to sleep unknown in the depths of the sand sea.
The coffin in the tomb that Xia Yu saw had been dug out. It must have been visited by tomb robbers many years ago. Maybe the tomb owner was sold as a mummy for a good price.
When he was in high school, his favorite thing was tomb-raiding novels, but now he is more interested in adventure, conquering nature, and exploring the traces of civilization left by mankind.
"Squeak~~"
After parking the car in front of the ancient coffin, Xia Yu felt a heat wave as soon as he opened the car door. The temperature outside was very high.
"It's too hot. I won't go down."
Yin Suya started to back out before she even came down.
"Senior, come down, it's cool in the tomb."
Xia Yu was telling the truth. It was dark and cool in the tomb.
"Pah~~"
The car door closed, and Xia Yu was the only one left outside the car.
If Xiao Jiang had accompanied him out, he would definitely not be so rude.
Xia Yu thought as he walked to the back of the car, first unloaded the all-terrain vehicle, then picked up an engineer shovel and walked around the coffin several times.
The tomb chamber of this tomb should have been completely covered with sand, but most ancient tombs exist in groups. He soon found a half-buried gap in the east direction.
"Senior, senior, there is a major discovery, come here quickly!"
Xia Yu turned on the radio to contact Yin Suya, and saw the Unimog driving towards him.
"Is this your great discovery?"
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
