Chapter 1668 Falling Behind (3)

Xia Siyu happened to be sitting on a camel next to him, and came over to take a look: "Your phone is not working."

She took out her own. Her phone was the one Qin Baizhou gave her after Bo Yan threw it into the hot pot. Bo Yan bought her the same model, just in a different color. She had used it for more than a year, and she didn't play games much, so she didn't change it.

She turned on the compass on her phone, and the needle was also swinging, and it was obvious that it was also out of order.

Xia Siyu immediately said "Pooh": "What a broken phone, I will change yours tomorrow."

Bo Yan's expression was solemn: "It's the magnetic field. There should be a strong magnetic field nearby, maybe a magnetic mountain. So the phone was affected."

No wonder, the national highway in the desert will try to be close to the water source. Modern times are different from ancient times. The water source is not for saving lives, but for getting water at close range and drip irrigation of sand-proof plants.

But that Moon Bay is about 20 kilometers north of the national highway, which is very far away from the national highway. It is because of the magnetic field, probably some ancient mine, which will affect electrical appliances, so it is deliberately avoided.

After a long time, the program team equipped each group with a guide for this purpose. The distance is only 20 kilometers, and a guide can show you the way when you deviate from the direction. Because the program team knows that the compass is useless in this place.

But they just don't remind them, and let the guests find the direction by themselves. No wonder the program team said that love is not only sweet, but also can be a mutual support in desperate situations.

Is this really a love show? This already has the taste of wilderness survival.

No matter how uneducated Xia Siyu is, she still knows the basic knowledge that magnetic fields will affect mobile phones and compasses. Her first reaction was to turn her head directly - riding a camel to the side of the photographer, and said to the camera: "Program team!"

They don't remind them of this danger. Do they want to compare with the program team that had an accident and died a year and a half ago?

No wonder the program team reminded them before that it would be better to let them go together. Going together, the target is big and easy to pick up.

Although the water and food they brought were enough for them to go around in the desert for another day or two, the program team was really cruel.

Those who are familiar with Xia Siyu know that although she has a bad temper, she can just yell at her normally. But now, she is really angry.

Ever since the accident happened a year and a half ago, she was not angry because she was blamed for a year and lost two actresses. She was angry because there were still program crews that did not inform about the risks?

Even if they made adequate preparations, found guides, and had a bunch of people around, this is a desert after all. What if something goes wrong?

Once something goes wrong, it will be death or injury. Will they be able to take responsibility at that time? Even if they can compensate afterwards, it will cause permanent losses.

Xia Siyu was extremely angry, but she smiled. In front of the camera, her smile was particularly beautiful: "Okay, you are very good, really good."

Her smile was fleeting, and she pulled the rope and led the camel to the back. The program crew assigned a director to each group, and she went to talk to the executive director!

Not long after she left, her wrist was grabbed by Bo Yan.

Xia Siyu thought that Bo Yan was trying to persuade her not to do it, and her temper exploded instantly: "Bo Yan, let me go! I have to ask them for an explanation today!"

If I don't ask the situation clearly, my name will be written upside down!

"I know how to go." Bo Yan's expression was calm, and Xia Siyu was stunned for a moment, "What can you do?"

Bo Yan picked up her wrist-on her wrist, she was wearing the famous watch that Xia Youbiao had given her before.

Xia Youbiao likes to buy watches. Netizens have traced his name through the watch in Xia Youbiao's hand. The one given to his daughter is naturally the best. Xia Siyu took this watch to the Golden Moon Award ceremony before. Although she didn't win the award, she never took it off.

Xia Siyu still doesn't get along with her father, but she knows what her father means. Although she can't help complaining when she is on the line with him, she remembers her father's kindness in her heart and always carries the watch with her.

The watch given by Xia Youbiao is naturally not a bad one. This watch is not a question of whether it is inlaid with diamonds or not, but it can block strong magnetism.

As we all know, the most feared thing about mechanical watches in daily life is the impact of magnetic fields on the watch core parts. The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches, and only buy watches inlaid with diamonds or limited editions. Those who really know the business have these equipment. Some advanced watches can also find the constellations at night as quickly as possible.

Sure enough, Xia Siyu's watch is still working normally. But what's the use of having a watch?

Bo Yan said: "With a watch, you can determine the direction. We are in the northern hemisphere. In the afternoon in the northern hemisphere, use the hour hand to point to the direction of the sun. The direction in the middle of the angle between the hour hand and twelve o'clock is the south. Conversely, the other side is the north."

Using this angle, we can roughly calculate the direction they are moving.

When he said this, his hand was holding Xia Siyu's hand, and the two of them were very close. If they were not riding two camels separately, they would probably be close together.

But Bo Yan's expression was too serious, and he looked like he was studying hard. It was impossible to tell that this guy might actually have the intention of getting closer to his wife.

"Are you serious?" Although Xia Siyu believed Bo Yan, she still felt it was a bit risky.

"There is another possibility. It is the Haloxylon ammodendron here." There are plants planted on both sides of the national highway to prevent wind and fix sand, but there are no plants after leaving the national highway. But there must be a water source in Moon Bay, and if there is a water source, there is probably groundwater. If there is groundwater, there will be plants.

There are Haloxylon ammodendron growing sporadically in this direction, which means there must be a water source.

"Believe me, it's this way."

Xia Siyu nodded: "Okay, let's go this way."

The two had just taken two steps, and Bo Yan lowered his voice and said: "In fact, there is another possibility, that is, when I just said to go this way, the guide was obviously relieved."

Although the guide will guide the direction when it is obviously off course, who doesn't want to find the right way as soon as possible, so as to finish work and get paid early?

With these three judgments, it must be right to go this way.

The two walked a distance along the direction again, and when it was sunset, they were about seven or eight kilometers away from there, but it was late, and there was no way to find the way by the sun.

Taking out the mobile phone, the magnetic field here is still very strong, and the pointer is shaking all the time.

Although the watch was temporarily fine, how could she find the way without the sun? The surrounding sand dunes all looked exactly the same, so Xia Siyu couldn't tell them apart anyway.

She looked at Bo Yan again, but he said, "Let's take a break."
