Accompanying us was hydrological geology expert, Expert Zhang.
Expert Zhang has been researching Lop Nur for thirty years. Yesterday, Lop Nur disappeared, overturning Expert Zhang's understanding. After returning, he retrieved various satellite images, repeatedly comparing them, and discovered that the "big ear" shape of Lop Nur had indeed vanished. What was once saline-alkali land has now been completely covered by desert.
"Ants moving mountains, such a skillful technique," the Young Taoist said, looking at the yellow sand beneath his feet.
"Did you almost start digging yesterday and then a sandstorm suddenly arose?" Mr. Zhao asked Song Xiaodong.
"Yes."
Mr. Zhao nodded and took another shovel from the warrior beside him, digging a pit in the sand.
A yellow cloud immediately rose in the northwest direction.
It wasn't a cloud, but yellow sand whipped up by the wind.
The Young Taoist laughed and said, "Interesting."
"Keep digging," Mr. Zhao commanded.
