After the base replied to the distress telegram, the expedition members said that Peng still insisted on going out to find water, causing a dispute. Finally, no one agreed to go out looking for water with Peng. At noon, Wang Wenxian, the vice captain, found that Peng had disappeared, but he just thought he had gone to relieve himself and ignored it. In the afternoon 1, the driver Wang Wanxuan went to the car to get his coat, and found a note left by Peng in the car seat map. At this time, the players knew that Peng had gone out to look for water again. At first, everyone was in no hurry because Peng had the habit of thinking alone and going out for a walk. But at 3 pm, after the temperature soared in Lop Nur, everyone felt that something was wrong. Wang Wenxian, the vice captain, took two players by car, and the rest of them waited at the camp. Maybe Peng will return to the camp himself.
The car followed Peng's footprints all the way, but the high temperature and wind direction were not conducive to the cooling of the car. After one or two kilometers, the car had to stop to cool down and stop until it came to a saline-alkali land where the geology was hard and Peng's footprints became shallow and disappeared. It was getting dark, but the search didn't stop. The car continued to look east. After passing a red willow bag like a grave bag, I came to an open saline-alkali land. At this time, fear rose in the hearts of the players. On the one hand, they are worried about Peng, on the other hand, they are worried about whether there will be wild animals or whether they will mistakenly enter the military restricted zone of the former Soviet Union. Wang Wenxian fired a gun in the air to give courage to his teammates. He also hoped that Peng could hear the gunshots and go back to the team, but there was silence all around, and there was no Peng.
The three people who went out to search drove back to the camp after dark, hoping that Peng would come back by himself, but unfortunately, their hopes were dashed. After careful sorting, it was found that Peng had taken away a two-kilogram kettle, two cameras, a geological hammer and a compass. However, his most important anticancer drug has not been taken away. Peng didn't bring a map. The map is marked "Bayi Spring", which may be the place where he is looking for water.
That night, the expedition lit a lot of fires in the highlands, fired signal guns every half an hour, and drove high with flashing lights. I hope Peng can get it back. At 9 o'clock in the evening, the expedition contacted the base by telegraph, but said nothing about Peng's disappearance, only that it would be reported again at 2 o'clock in the morning. The team members said that this was purely a fluke and hoped that Peng could come back by himself. At two o'clock in the morning, Xiang Peng base reported the missing person.
Early the next morning, the water delivery plane found the camp, and the expedition was divided into two ways, and the ground and the plane searched at the same time. After the jeep arrived at the place where Peng's footprints disappeared, it first looked for them in the northeast. In this direction, Peng's footprints have actually been discovered again, and there are traces of wandering and turning back. It seems that Peng hesitated when he came here, but he still got lost. On a reed-covered sand dune near the footprint, I found traces of sitting and coconut candy paper, which Peng bought at Milan farm.
The members of the investigation team sat where Peng had sat, trying to guess Peng's next move. Some interviewed players said that there should be footprints where Peng continued to walk, but there were no footprints. This is a little strange. Because the footprints left by Peng are still not far from the sand dunes, there are no footprints left by Peng after resting on the sand dunes. Isn't he walking all the time? But the expedition searched around and there was no sign of him. The helicopter carrying water also carried out a low-altitude search, and the rabbits in the grass were clearly seen, but there was still no trace of Peng.
Subtitle: Event speculation
Chen Guanguan, a white-haired botanist, still feels embarrassed when he thinks of those years. He said how could they kill Peng? They are all explorers and go to the desert to suffer together. There is no reason to kill Lao Peng. The main basis of teammates' murder speculation is that the date of the note left by Peng Lao has been revised. In addition, there is news of Peng's disappearance. The expedition did not report to the base at the first time, and it was considered that it missed the best opportunity to find Peng.
Comments have been modified. In fact, Peng 16 had long thought of going out to look for water, but the appearance of wild camels made him stay put for the time being. When the expedition reported it, they explained that Peng was missing 10 hour, and it was entirely possible to walk back by himself, so they did not report it immediately, but fortunately waited until 2 am.
As for why Peng insisted on going out to look for water after receiving the distress reply, Lao Sa thought it might be related to Peng Lao's strong personality, and there was water on the map of the former Soviet Union. Peng Lao had been to Lop Nur as early as 1964. Perhaps there was water in the place marked on the map of the former Soviet Union, so Peng Lao firmly believed that he could find it. There are other doubts on the Internet, such as how long it took to find Peng missing, and why the sandstorm didn't cover the footprints and candy paper. These doubts have been described in detail in front, and I believe that friends who look carefully already know the answer. The reason why there are these questions on the Internet is because of information dissemination errors, such as the time when the expedition found footprints and sugar paper and blew sandstorms, so there is no such problem.
Let Lao Sa rule out the speculation that his teammates killed people. In fact, these reasons are not above, but Peng's disappearance caused great concern at that time. The relevant departments will not let go of any clues, and other members of the expedition will be carefully and professionally questioned. They must know many details that we can't know. Since the government has not come to the conclusion that Peng was murdered, can this explain the problem?
65438+1October 1 1 Nearly four months after Peng disappeared, a report published in a Hong Kong newspaper once again brought hope to people looking for Peng. The newspaper said: "Someone saw the missing Peng Jiamu in Washington, USA!" What's going on here? It turned out that an American student named Zhou Guanglei claimed to be Peng's good friend. On September 14, Zhou Guanglei, a friend and embassy staff member, saw Peng and two Americans eating in a restaurant in Washington, USA. After seeing his old friend, Zhou Guanglei warmly greeted him, but the other party said he didn't know him and left in a hurry.
As soon as this report came out, it immediately attracted an uproar at home and abroad. Even the American and Japanese media have reprinted it. Some people take an extreme attitude and say that Peng has fled to the United States. This is irresponsible and should be criticized. Our country launched an investigation into this report, and finally found that Zhou Guanglei was not Peng's good friend, and Peng's wife also said that she didn't know this person, so what Zhou Guanglei said was purely a rumor. On June1980165438+10/8, People's Daily published the news of Xinhua News Agency, which officially refuted the fact that "Zhou Guanglei" met Peng in the United States. Moreover, Peng resolutely chose the latter before going abroad for inspection and working in Xinjiang at the beginning of 1980. How can a person who makes such a choice betray his country and run away?
Peng once said that he hoped that he could become a stepping stone for future generations to step on him. People around Peng say that he is career-oriented, and when it comes to his own career, he will gush. Perhaps such researchers have a stubborn part in their personality. This stubbornness is an excellent quality in scientific research, but it may become an obstacle in life.
Search and rescue personnel analysis, Peng should be in 17 in June where the footprints disappeared and fell to his death. He has cancer. After catching the camel, he stayed up all night and went out to look for water the next day. After he falls, he may be buried by quicksand. However, Peng's body has not been found exactly yet. Some people hope that he has not fallen, but has gone on a secret mission. Whether it is the story of an ancient site or a new story, it seems that netizens are regretting the death of the older generation of researchers, perhaps hoping that they can live in a legendary story and never die.
