I went east to find the well!
Behind this sentence is the biggest mystery case since the founding of our country. The reason why this is so is that the person who wrote this note has been missing in Lop Nur for 41 years, and his matter has so far been widely disputed. Every time something about him causes big fluctuations at home and abroad.
Now, more than forty years later, the state has organized more than four large-scale searches, after all, it is necessary to see people alive, and if it is gone, it is also possible to see corpses, and the civilian expedition search team is also countless dispatches. Unfortunately, it is still missing today. Who is he and why does it attract so much attention from the state?
Famous scientist Pengam
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="12" > Pengam contributed to the country throughout his life</h1>
He is the most famous scientist of our country in the last century, Pengam. Basically, Chinese over the age of forty or fifty are familiar with his name. His position at that time was like that of Academician Zhong Nanshan in today's society. But how could such a famous scientist disappear into Lop Nur and what happened before he disappeared?
Speaking of Pengam, he was quite famous in the last century. Graduated from the College of Agriculture, Chuo University. After graduating as a high-achieving student, he concentrated on his scientific research career. Soon, he became a member of the Shanghai Institute of Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. For the newly established new China, it is precisely such people who are missing.
Pengam did the experiment
At that time, the country's research in the field of biochemistry was still a blank. So Pengam moved from agricultural research to biochemistry. Although somewhat related, it is a great challenge for Pengam. However, he was not afraid of difficulties, painstakingly studied, worked hard, and became a very authoritative scientist in the field in just a few years.
Make outstanding contributions and achievements. It was such a respected scientist who fell ill with cancer in his thirties and was not well treated many times so that he had been plagued by the disease. Later, in order to develop the scientific construction of New China, the state organized a group of scientists to go to the Soviet Union for further study.
The frontier of the motherland
Among them was Peng jiamu, but he did not want to go, the place he wanted to go was the frontier of the motherland, and he made a meticulous investigation of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. In order to get what he wanted, he even wrote an application to Guo Moruo, the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the time:
I volunteered to go to the frontier, this is my long-cherished wish, please believe in the organization that I have the courage to open a path in the wilderness, agree to my application, and I accept any investigation by the organization.
In the end, pengam's spirit of daring to explore was granted. The frontier of the country has allowed him to travel all over the place and obtained a lot of scientific research results. What Makes Pengjiamu pay the most attention is still Lop Nur in Xinjiang. He always believed that there would be great discoveries in this place of Lop Nur .
Lop
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="53" > the mystery of Lop Nur</h1>
Speaking of Lop Nur everyone should know that this is a lake. However, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, it dried up, and many ancient civilizations were born here, and even the most mysterious ancient country of Loulan disappeared overnight.
Why is Lop Nur so mysterious? In 1949, a plane flying from Chongqing to Urumqi disappeared inexplicably, and has not been seen since. However, just 9 years later, it was discovered that the mysterious Lop Nur appeared on the plane, and everyone in the cabin was dead. What's going on here?
No one knows. Later, when the United States visited China, it brought three things to our country. And one of them is a satellite image of Lop Nur . It's like an ear. The mystery of Lop Nur attracted the attention of the state, and since then the investigation of Lop Nur has directly risen to the national level.
Like an ear
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="55" > Pengam disappeared</h1>
In the summer of 1980, Pengam was ready to organize another expedition to Lop Nur to enter Lop Nur again. The first two trips to Lop Nur made him extremely prepared for this one. This time it ends in the lake basin of the Lop Nur hinterland, which no one has ever set foot in. You can imagine how dangerous it is. After everything is ready.
Pengam and the expedition team came all the way to the edge of Lop Nur and crossed Yadan to the basin of Lop Nur Lake. The site was inspected, photographed, and sampled to complete the mission to Lop Nur. The plan was also successfully completed. They also succeeded in setting a century record for the first time that a Chinese expedition team crossed Lop Nur and recorded the geomorphological center.
At this point, they will return to Urumqi by the same way. At this time, Peng jiamu suggested continuing to the east of Lop Nur to investigate about nine hundred Gong Li, which was not planned, and they did not make unnecessary preparations. This proposal was rejected by the players. Because Lop Nur is too dangerous, if you are not careful in the harsh climate, you may be buried here.
road map
The members of this squad are all old and young, and they are reluctant to take risks. At this time, why was Pengam so anxious to continue to move east? Why rush to take such a risk? In fact, at this time, Pengjiamu has been plagued by diseases, and the cancer of 23 years ago has not been completely cured.
His own time is running out, and there are few opportunities to contribute to the country, and every opportunity must be seized. So the choice was left to the state. The state also agreed to move forward, but their preparations were not enough water, oil and food, and Pengam decided to go to Kumukuduk within three days and if they could not, they would immediately turn back.
Expedition team
However, they only walked for three days before they entered more than a hundred kilometers. This is far beyond their capabilities. Members of the ten-person expedition already had resistance. But Pengam still let the team move on. As a result, one of the cars in the convoy fell behind, and Pengam did not wait, thinking that they could follow.
In the end, after all the assemblies, Pengam and the members had a dispute and friction, and finally ended abruptly. However, they also survived, and when kumukuduk was still some distance away, the gasoline, water and food carried in the car were not enough to support them for a few days. The harsh environment has exhausted the players and created a negative state.
Harsh desert environment
It is also understandable that in the great desert, the daytime temperature has almost reached seventy degrees of surface temperature. From time to time, you still have to face the arrival of sandstorms, and on the verge of life and death, emotions will definitely collapse. Coupled with the shortage of supplies, the only water they had left was in the iron bucket because of rust and turned yellow. Simply can't drink any more.
This time they had another argument. The reason is that they hope that Pengam can send a telegram to a nearby PLA base to send some supplies. When Pengam learned of their ideas, he was reluctant because it was too much of a waste of national resources. The cost of using a helicopter is too high.
And Pengam found on the map that there are many water sources near Kumukuduk, and they can find water to drink. But the long running has made all the team members too tired to move forward. In the end, Pengam followed their advice and sent a telegram to the nearby Maran base for help. At this time, it was already around 10 p.m. on the 16th.
The next day they received a reply asking them to stay where they were and not to move. The plane will send water over. Pengam also learned of the contents of the telegram. Later, when the vice captain was looking for Peng Jiamu, he found that he was missing, and quickly let everyone find him. Then I found a note left by Pengam in the car, and I went east to find the well. Peng.
note
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="69" > looking for Pengam</h1>
June 17. After seeing the note, he quickly organized the team members to look for Pengam in two ways. Some of the remaining people waited, in case no one informed pengam returned. The team members found a series of footprints while looking for someone. Carefully identified as the footprints of Pengam. Everyone hurried along the footprints to find someone. But nothing is always heard.
This made the players anxious. The remaining camp men began to observe what Pengam had taken with him. That way they can find someone based on these marks. Kettles, safety hammers, cameras, biscuits, sweaters, daggers are the things pengam carries. The medicines that should have been carried with me were not taken away.
Time passed by minute by minute, Pengam had been away for several hours, and night had fallen. All the members who were looking for it have returned to camp. They found nothing. That night, they drove to the heights and turned on the lights. I hope Pengam will come back quickly when he sees it. And they fire flares every half an hour.
Flares
In the end, Pengam did not return, and the team members immediately reported Pengam's disappearance to their superiors. When the state learned of this news, it quickly sent helicopters to look for it. In the endless desert, the helicopter can clearly see a rabbit in the sky, but it can't find a trace of Pengjiamu, but it finds the wrapping paper of pengam's rest and favorite candy.
Everyone began to search. As dusk approached, we found a yadan area, which was hollow and where to rest. They searched with great hope, but found nothing. However, in the evening, the sandstorm struck, and Pengam's chances of survival were greatly reduced. Since then, the news of the disappearance of the famous scientist Peng Jiamu in Lop Nur has spread throughout China.
Pengam Expedition
The state has repeatedly sent teams to conduct carpet searches, but there has been no trace. In order to guess what Pengam had done before his death, they took stock of all of Pengam's belongings. I found a little, just the note left by Pengam, the date had been changed, it should have been changed to the 16th and then the 17th. Some people say that Pengam may have wanted to find water on the 16th, but the plan may have been postponed for various reasons.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="71" > the version of Pengam's disappearance</h1>
To this day, it is unclear what exactly was the cause of Pengam's disappearance, but there are many circulating versions of his disappearance.
Some people said that he defected and fled to the United States, and also claimed to have seen Peng Jiamu in the United States and wrote a letter to Peng Jiamu's wife, Xia Shufang, which made the whole world explode and attracted everyone's attention. Soon after, the news was debunked, and Neither Pengjiamu's wife nor children knew the former friend who claimed to have seen Pengjiamu, and in the letter, if it was a friend, Xia Shufang's name would not be written incorrectly. Moreover, at that time, the distance between Lop Nur and the countries surrounding our country was at least 500 kilometers, which was simply impossible by walking.
Pengam
Some people also say that it was the Pisces jade pendant that made Peng jiamu cross, which is obviously wrong in line with science, and there are countless theories such as plant virus theory.
Pengam has not been found so far, and experts and the investigation team have explained that there are many places in the desert that are quicksand that may swallow people up and find them. It is also possible that Pengam was resting in the Yadan Cave, buried by the collapsed soil, and there was a lot of mobility in addition. The body could not be found.
Either way, it doesn't stop us from paying tribute to scientists. Pengam contributed to the construction of the motherland. He deserves to be remembered. We deserve the highest tribute to him.
Later, in 2006, a dried corpse was found in Lop Nur because the time of death was probably more than twenty years ago, and some people suspected that it was Pengam's body. Later, when he wanted to use DNA for testing, his son refused. It just said that if 90% of it is sure it is my dad, I will check it again. This is not unreasonable.
If you find a dry corpse every time and do the identification, you will give hope and disappointment every time. This makes their families how to accept it. Today, Pengam's disappearance is still an unsolved mystery, but his contribution and spirit to the country are immeasurable. It's worth learning. salute.
