Chapter 815 Victory
It wasn't until the sandstorm was so close that the audience realized how high it was.
It was obviously just a yellow line on the horizon at first, then a yellow belt, then a yellow wall, and when it was less than a hundred meters away, it turned into a yellow curtain, and finally it completely blocked the sky.
Full of pressure.
A heavy hammer made of sand and dust hit the audience's hearts hard.
The exaggerated words in the barrage were also reduced a lot in the end. It was just a joke, but when it came to reality, it was still worrying.
With his back to the sandstorm, Bi Fang huddled under the camel's body. He could feel the wind above his head getting stronger and stronger, and the whistling sound from the air was as if someone was roaring into his ears, and his eardrums were trembling. To burst.
The gravel penetrated everywhere, and Bi Fang closed his eyes tightly.
These gravels move at an astonishing speed under the influence of the strong wind. Even through clothes, you can feel its power, as if it is trying to cut small holes in a person's body.
Camel naturally has experience in fighting sandstorms. Although he was a little scared at the beginning, when the actual confrontation came, he lost all the panic and sat on the ground motionless.
The sand around me piled up and came back again, falling into a strange dynamic balance.
On average, a dizzying 182 million tons of dust flow out of the western Sahara every year, enough to fill 689,290 trucks.
These Saharan dust clouds constitute the largest migration on Earth - a "mineral migration" more spectacular than the animal migrations most people are familiar with.
Storms in the Sahara Desert suspend huge plumes of desert dust thousands of feet above the Earth's surface.
Later, these thousands of kilometers of camel-colored dust will ride the trade winds westward across the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, traveling across half of the earth.
In fact, Saharan dust clouds cross the entire intercontinental continent all the time. These plumes of unusually large volume and density can pass through the entire ocean and reach the other end of the earth.
Along the way, the dust falls into oceans, into rainforests, and into human settlements.
The Saharan dust cloud is a tumbling ribbon of life-giving minerals like iron and phosphorus
At first glance, although the migration of brown dust has a scale across continents and oceans, it is still not as shocking and exciting as the mighty migration of animals.
But it can fertilize some of the most biodiverse oases on Earth, including the lush Amazon rainforest.
Phosphorus is an important nutrient for plant growth, but rainfall or flooding can cause phosphorus to be lost from rainforest soils.
In rainforests like the Amazon, constant rainfall is a daily occurrence.
For this reason, 22,000 tons of Saharan dust every year bring enough phosphorus to rainforests such as the Amazon to replace minerals lost due to rainfall leaching.
Even though he had covered his mouth and nose, Bifang could still feel dust pouring in through various invisible gaps, and then sticking to his respiratory tract, making him want to cough, but coughing in a sandstorm could only make him choke. Apart from the risk of breathing, the sand had no other benefits, so Bi Fang could only endure it.
A sandstorm may last for dozens of minutes or several hours. Even if it is not fatal, it is definitely extremely difficult to endure.
Two hours later, the piles of sand around us were getting higher and higher. It was obvious that it was already late and the wind was not strong enough, so the sand was still piled up.
Bi Fang began to shake his body gently to shake off the sand on his body to avoid being buried alive.
Another hour passed, the wind and sand gradually subsided, and the sky finally appeared in the audience's sight again.
In the past three hours, they could hardly see anything. It was pitch black, and only the howling wind reminded everyone that the live broadcast was not over.
The camera fell into silence.
There is no sound.
There was no movement.
The audience couldn't help but start to worry, but fortunately the worry did not last long.
The quiet desert became a little loose, and the sand gradually slipped away. Finally, a hand suddenly popped out from the sand pile, and then bigger changes began to occur. A huge sandbag bulged and then exploded.
Alpha shook its body, and countless fine sand flowed out of its hair, forming thin streams.
Bi Fang coughed next to him, and finally spit out a few mouthfuls of saliva to clean up the sand in his mouth. He felt that there was a trace of blood in his mouth. He didn't know if his nose was scratched with blood by sand or something. When he saw the camera , he smiled and shrugged:
"Look, I said there's no big problem, cough, bah, bah."
"You have actually seen that it is not that important what kind of shelter you choose. It can be a piece of boulder or a car. The key is to squat on the leeward side of the shelter."
"If you know a sandstorm is coming soon, don't spend too long looking for it, because finding shelter in the desert can be difficult. When a sandstorm comes quickly, your time is better spent preparing Fight the sandstorm."
[Fang Shen: Small Scene]
[I have experienced more exciting things (dog head)]
[To be honest, the underwater volcano that caused the tsunami last time and then the surfing one were the best in the world]
[Sulfuric acid sea, hundred-degree steam, tsunamis, volcanoes, indeed]
【sharp】
Bi Fang looked at the terrain that was almost completely different from before. He was a little dazed for a moment, but this was not his first experience. He quickly came back to his senses and found his direction again.
"Sandstorms appeared so quickly before that many people didn't have time to say anything."
"There are two key points to dealing with sandstorms. One is breathing, and the second is to lower your center of gravity."
"The strong wind will blow up a lot of large debris. The lower your body is, the lower the probability of being hit by these debris. Of course, you should hold your head with both hands to protect your head and neck."
"And the heavy sand is close to the ground, and the finer particles will float in the air. It is those fine sand particles that harm the respiratory tract."
After finding the direction, Bifang pulled the reins and did not choose to ride, but led Alpha to walk in the desert.
He did not always ride camels, especially when the animals had just experienced danger and might not have calmed down.
"Before getting close to the ground, you must first know your position. When you squat, know the direction you are facing and where you are going."
"Don't move a step in a sandstorm. After the sandstorm, the surroundings may change drastically, but you still need to know where to go next."
"If you are walking together, walk hand in hand. Sandstorms can be terrible and it is easy to make people lose their way. You don't want anyone in the team to be frightened or lost."
"By the way, there is another point to note. Although it does not conform to general logic, sandstorms may cause unexpected lightning strikes. However, there is no way to defend against this thing. It depends on luck. Of course, the probability is also very small, and the lightning strike caused will generally only paralyze, not to the point of fatality."
