Chapter 811 Victory
It wasn't until the sandstorm was right in front of the audience that they realized how high it was.
It was clearly just a yellow line on the horizon at the beginning, followed by a yellow belt, then a yellow wall, and when it was less than a hundred meters, it became a yellow curtain, and finally completely covered the sky.
Very oppressive.
A heavy hammer made of sand and dust hit the audience's hearts hard.
In the end, there were fewer exaggerated words in the barrage. It’s just a joke, but when it really happens, it’s still worrying.
With his back to the sandstorm, Bifang curled up under the camel. He could feel the wind above his head getting stronger and stronger, and the whistling sound cutting through the air was like someone roaring into his ears. His eardrums kept vibrating and seemed about to burst.
The sand and gravel penetrated every hole, so Bifang closed his eyes tightly.
The sand and gravel reached an astonishing speed under the influence of the strong wind. Even through the clothes, one could feel its power, as if it was going to cut small cuts on the body.
Camels naturally have experience in fighting sandstorms. Apart from some fear in the beginning, they lost all the panic when it came to actually fighting it, and sat down on the ground without moving.
The sand around me piled up and moved away, moved away and came back, falling into a strange dynamic balance.
On average, a dizzying 182 million tons of dust flow from the western Sahara each year - enough to fill 689,290 trucks.
These Saharan dust clouds constitute the largest migration on Earth - a "mineral migration" that is more spectacular than the animal migrations most people are familiar with.
Storms in the Sahara Desert cause huge plumes of desert dust to suspend thousands of feet above the Earth's surface.
Then, these camel-colored dust particles thousands of kilometers long will drift westward across the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea on the trade winds, and travel across most of the earth.
In fact, the Saharan dust clouds are constantly crossing the entire continent. These smoke columns are extremely large in size and density and can pass through the entire ocean and reach the other side of the earth.
Along the way, dust falls into oceans, rainforests, and human settlements.
The Saharan dust cloud is a roiling ribbon of life-giving minerals such as iron and phosphorus.
At first glance, the migration of brown dust, although on a scale spanning continents and oceans, is still not as shocking and exciting to the viewer 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.
To this end, 22,000 tons of Saharan dust bring enough phosphorus to the Amazon and other rainforests every year to replace the 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. However, coughing in a sandstorm would do no good other than choking on a mouthful of sand, causing breathing hazards, so Bifang could only endure it.
A sandstorm may last for dozens of minutes or even several hours. Even if it is not fatal, it is definitely extremely unbearable.
Two hours later, the sand piles around me were getting higher and higher. It was obvious that it was already the late stage and the wind was insufficient, so the sand was still piling up.
Bifang began to shake his body gently to shake off the sand on his body to avoid being buried alive.
After another hour, the wind and sand gradually died down, and the sky finally reappeared in the audience's sight.
In the past three hours, they could hardly see anything. It was completely dark. Only the whistling wind reminded everyone that the live broadcast had not ended.
The camera fell silent.
No sound.
No movement.
The audience couldn't help but start to worry, but fortunately the worry didn't last long.
The quiet desert began to loosen a little, the sand gradually slid down, and finally a hand suddenly stretched out from the sand pile. Then bigger changes began to appear. A huge sandbag bulged up and then exploded.
Alpha shook his body, and countless fine sand flowed out of his hair, forming thin streams.
Bifang followed and coughed, finally spitting out a few mouthfuls of saliva to clear the sand in his mouth. He could smell a slight taste of blood in his mouth, and he didn't know if his nose was scratched by sand or something. When he saw the camera, he smiled and shrugged:
"See, I said it's no big deal, ahem, phew."
"As you can see, it doesn't really matter what kind of shelter you choose. It can be a boulder or a car. The key is to squat on the leeward side of the shelter."
"If you know a dust storm is coming soon, don't spend too much time looking for it, because it can be difficult to find shelter in the desert. When a dust storm is coming fast, your time is better spent preparing to fight it."
[Fang Shen: Small Scene]
[I have experienced more exciting (dog head)]
[To be honest, the last time the submarine volcano caused a tsunami, and then the surfing, it was definitely the best in the world]
[Sulphuric acid sea, 100-degree steam, tsunamis, volcanoes, indeed]
【sharp】
Bifang looked at the terrain which was almost completely different from the previous one and was a little dazed for a moment, but since it was not his first time experiencing this, he quickly came to his senses and found the direction again.
"The sandstorm appeared too quickly before, and many people didn't have time to talk about it."
"There are two key points to dealing with sandstorms. One is breathing, and the second is lowering your center of gravity."
"The wind will blow up a lot of large debris. The lower you are, the less likely you are to be hit by these debris. Of course, you should put your hands on your head to protect your head and neck."
"And the heavy sand particles are close to the ground, while the smaller particles will float in the air. It is those small sand particles that are harmful to the respiratory tract."
After finding the direction, Bifang pulled the reins and did not choose to ride, but instead led Alpha to walk in the desert.
He didn't always ride camels, especially not when the animals had just been through danger and might not have yet calmed down.
"Before you get close to the ground, you need to know where you are. When you squat, know which direction you are facing and where you are going."
“Don’t move a step during a sandstorm. After the sandstorm, the surroundings may be completely different, but you still need to know where to go next.”
"If you're travelling in a group, walk hand in hand, and sandstorms can be scary and it's easy to get lost. You don't want anyone in your group to get scared or get lost."
"Oh, there's one more thing to note. Although it doesn't conform to common logic, sandstorms can cause unexpected lightning strikes. However, there's no way to defend against this, so you can only rely on luck. Of course, the probability is very small, and the lightning strikes usually only cause paralysis, not fatality. "
