As if just to comfort Bi Fang's mood, after a brief exchange, the captain left.
Then the air fell into silence.
Until eight o'clock in the evening, Bi Fang did not see him again.
In the office, the brand-new ceiling fan works hard, but it cannot reduce the heat by half.
Bi Fang, who was sitting on the seat, glanced at the police officers in the police station and couldn't help but tap the armrest of the seat with his index finger.
Some read newspapers, some drank tea, and some chatted, completely forgetting that he was a "spy".
Helpless, Bi Fang had no choice but to grab a middle-aged police officer who was about to refill his drink. This man was also one of the police officers who brought him here.
"How long will it take to confirm my identity?"
"Uh, what?"
"I told you how long it would take to confirm my identity and then let me go."
Bi Fang wondered if his Arabic was not up to standard, but then he thought about it and realized it was unlikely. After all, it was produced by the system.
The middle-aged police officer paused: "Well, tomorrow, just tomorrow."
【Damn it, I have a bad feeling】
[Did it actually take so long?]
[After all, you are a spy, so you should probably be more cautious, right? Maybe]
[I can’t feel their prudence at all?]
Bi Fang, who saw the barrage, was also worried. He frowned slightly, but it was hard to say anything.
"Tomorrow?"
One day is still within his acceptable range.
Just wait and see.
...
the next day.
"how much longer?"
"Well, we are contacting China, but we haven't found the phone number yet..."
"If it's just a phone call, I probably know."
Bi Fang sighed.
…
No one could have imagined it.
Bi Fang was found by the police at noon and came to the police station in the afternoon. The results were not available until the morning of the third day. When he was finally released, it was already the fourth day.
During this period, he faced repeated questioning by multiple groups of police officers, and his passport was also taken away for verification.
But no one knows what the efficiency is in the middle.
In the end, netizens in the live broadcast room were reliable and informed the Modu Contact Center. The staff of the contact center immediately contacted the Chinese Embassy in Algeria and asked them for help.
Bi Fang got out of trouble successfully with the help of the Chinese Embassy.
Looking back, all the processes can be described as exhausting and exhausting.
Bi Fang usually rarely talked about the problems of other countries, but this time it really tired him out, especially the procrastination and extremely low efficiency of the country, which almost drove him crazy.
The so-called "tomorrow" in our mouth is never the real tomorrow, but "someday in the future".
If it weren't for the help of the embassy, Bi Fang doubted that he might have been unable to come out for four or five days in a row. Fortunately, he had some food reserves, otherwise he might have starved to death at the police station.
"Finally it's out."
Bi Fang once again expressed his gratitude to the visitors from the embassy and walked out of the police station. He felt that the air was much fresher and full of the smell of freedom.
[Fang Shen never expected that the longest-delayed thing he would encounter after setting off would be to be suspected of being a spy hahahahaha and almost laugh to death]
[Brother, aren’t you tired of talking for so long in one breath?]
[I’ve been waiting for several days, let’s go quickly!]
"That's right. More than three days have been wasted. We have to continue on our way."
"And this is also a valuable experience, isn't it? When you travel in the future, especially to some special countries, you'd better be well prepared."
Being mistaken for a spy is just a small episode in the journey.
After settling the matter, Bi Fang took Alpha and left the town, continuing along the original route.
"The road ahead is still very long."
Twenty days later.
After leaving Algeria, Bifang passed through Niger, saw the majesty and beauty of the Niger River, crossed a semi-steppe and semi-desert area, and now arrived in Libya.
With such a large span, the audience finally understood what Bi Fang originally said about the scene in the rock desert.
The surroundings are no longer vast sand dunes, but towering rock walls everywhere, and there are huge rocks everywhere that have been eroded by the wind and become strange shapes, as if they are on some alien planet.
The wide canyon is on Bifang's right, and on his left is a bright red train speeding along the track.
The train leading to the canyon is painted with a layer of red. This color turns into a curve and twists and turns between the yellow Gobi and the white desert. Therefore, this train also has a beautiful name - Red Lizard Express.
After eating sand for nearly a month, I finally saw some modern technology, which gave the live broadcast room viewers a sense of long-lost popularity.
Watching the train leave, Bi Fang moved forward along the track.
After passing through several tunnels, the surrounding scene suddenly became strange. It was clearly a copy of the Colorado Grand Canyon with its thousands of walls standing in the African desert.
There is also a stream in the valley, and as the river flows, the mountains far and near become animated.
I originally thought that green life would be seen wherever there is water, but this rule obviously does not apply to streams with extremely high salt content.
It is its flow that aggravates the continuous deterioration of local sand quality and makes the already barren land even more desolate.
Bifang rode a camel to the top of the canyon. At this time, the canyon was like an open door, and the sunlight poured in from the cracks in the door, reflecting the creek in the canyon as if it were reflecting the light of mercury. People suddenly thought that there was something hidden there.
treasure.
[This canyon is so big]
【Do you want to go in? 】
[I have something to say, I want to go in and have a look]
Bi Fang nodded, even if the audience didn't tell him, he wouldn't miss the opportunity to enter the canyon.
Driving Alpha to slide down the rock step by step.
At first Alpha was a little scared and reluctant, but in the end Bi Fang had no choice but to come down and lead him down bit by bit.
Bi Fang found a clean pool along the stream, reached in and had a taste. He was surprised to find that the water in the pool was actually fresh water.
"It shouldn't be a water system. This pool is groundwater, and the stream just now should come from somewhere else."
After finding the water source, Bi Fang put the kettle deep into it and watched the clear fresh water pouring into it. Before he even drank it, he felt a bit of coolness in the heat.
It's mid-July now, and standing under the Saharan sun can drive you crazy. Even Alpha is rubbing his hooves, looking a little restless.
Bi Fang had no choice but to take it to a cool place to rest around ten o'clock.
After searching for nearly an hour, Bi Fang finally found an excellent shelter several kilometers away from the oasis.
It is a huge cave, and just standing at the entrance of the cave can feel a cool feeling that is very different from the outside world.
Near this cave, there are other caves, scattered in twos and threes, about a dozen in total.
Such a huge cave, combined with the quiet and unfamiliar environment, can't help but be a little scary.
[Hiss, what a big hole]
[Is this formed naturally? It doesn’t look like it]
[It was dug by someone, it seems to have been abandoned? 】
[I see that there are other caves nearby. This should be a human settlement, right? 】
【Are there any monsters inside? 】
[Lizard people, right?]
[My evaluation is, watch less horror movies]
After entering it, Bi Fang scanned the circle to see if there were any snake ants hiding, and then pulled Alpha into it. Facing the audience's doubts, he didn't feel surprised at all.
"I don't know if you have watched Star Wars. The Tatooine planet in the movie is desolate, indifferent, and barren of grass. Skywalker was born and grew up on that planet."
"The residence of Skywalker in the Star Wars movies is a prototype. In reality, it is actually the home of the indigenous Berber people of North Africa. They have lived here for thousands of years and developed a complete living system based on local conditions."
"There is also an underground village called Matamata near Tatooine. The ground in that area is lined with about 500 large holes like craters."
"There are guardrails around the entrance of the cave, which is the underground residence of the Berbers. It takes four people to dig for two years to form a large hole. The diameter of the hole is about 10 meters, and then dig deep into the cave wall to dig out bedrooms, kitchens and other living quarters. Usually
A large cave can accommodate five or six families, and this kind of architectural structure allows the desert to have a cool and comfortable experience."
"Although we don't know whether the one in front of us was also built by the Berbers or why it was abandoned, the principle is the same. It seems to be proof that humans lived here in ancient times."
Bifang touched the rock wall. Even the vertical rock wall was covered with a thin layer of dust.
The dust on the ground is almost several millimeters thick, and one step can leave a very deep footprint.
Obviously, no one had visited for a long time before Bi Fang's visit today.
The interior of the cave is extremely deep, and Bi Fang also saw some murals on the walls. The paintings were very simple, like children's simple drawings.
Due to the passage of time and a layer of dust, the picture is a little blurry, but the general content can still be seen.
There are herds of cattle and sheep on the murals, and you can also see some scenes of people hunting. The paints are basically red and white.
After seeing a few paintings, Bi Fang was a little surprised.
"This existed at least four thousand years ago."
【Holy shit, it took so long?】
【real or fake】
【What's the basis?】
[Textual research experts are online]
Bi Fang shook his head: "I don't know much about archeology. I just made some judgments based on the contents of the murals, which may not be accurate."
"Look at the content of the mural above. There are no cattle, sheep, elephants, or camels. According to the climate change in the Sahara that I mentioned before, it can be matched."
【Ah, what a change】
[Did I miss class again?]
[I didn’t miss class, but I’ve forgotten everything (dog head)]
Bi Fang laughed and didn't care. Instead, he once again explained the climate change process of the Sahara, and then explained the possible stages of the murals.
"Based on the petroglyphs found in the Sahara Desert and the climate changes in the Sahara, we can actually divide these different petroglyphs into several stages."
"The first one is the Buffalo Period, which lasted from about 35,000 years ago to about 8,000 BC."
"The rock paintings of this period were painted on the rocks using pigments mixed with the milk of some animals that are now extinct in the area."
"Including buffalo, elephant, hippopotamus and rhino, the characters in the painting will use sticks, axes, bows and arrows and sticks to hit their prey, but usually without javelins, and they often wear round helmets."
"These petroglyphs are mainly distributed in the southeastern part of Algeria, as well as in Chad and Libya, which is where we are now."
"The second is the Ox Period, which lasted from about 7500 BC to about 4000 BC.
"During this period, local residents began to engage in nomadic life, herding cattle and sheep. Pottery and polished stone axes, stone mills and arrowheads from the Neolithic Age were discovered, as well as some bows and arrows used for hunting."
"The grazing animals were introduced from Asia. Later, some ruins of villages where more people and livestock could gather were also discovered."
"The third one is the Horse Period, which lasted from about 3000 BC to 700 BC."
"There are already signs during this period that horses, camels and cows were introduced locally and large-scale agriculture was engaged in."
"The Phoenicians learned to use and forge iron tools, probably around 1220 BC. The Phoenicians established a large imperial alliance there that spanned the entire Sahara to Egypt."
"If you want to use murals to record it, it is impossible not to have this scene, but this time point is quite recent, and generally it will not be expressed in murals."
Hearing this, the audience in front of the screen basically understood.
The contents of the murals are neither as prosperous as before climate change nor as prosperous as after climate change, but are in an intermediate state.
Then the time point described is most likely in the middle period.
[So the people who originally lived here have left? 】
[Maybe he was killed by people from other tribes (dog head)]
"Maybe."
Bi Fang did not give a definite answer.
Since 2500 BC, the Sahara has become the same large desert as it is today, becoming an insurmountable obstacle for humans at that time. There were only some residents in oases.
The Nile Valley is an exception. Due to its abundant water resources, it has become an area where plants grow luxuriantly and has become one of the birthplaces of human civilization.
And before all this happens, naturally many people will make their own choices.
Faced with the deterioration of the environment, human beings will never sit still and wait for death.
[By the way, did Fang Shen discover something incredible again?]
"That's not the case, there are actually a lot of murals in the Sahara Desert."
"During the last ice age, the Sahara was not a desert, and the climate was similar to that of East Africa. The number of murals left at that time was extremely large."
"Archaeologists have discovered about 30,000 ancient rock paintings in desert areas, about half of which are in the En'Ajer Plateau in southern Algeria. They depict river animals, such as crocodiles."
"There are still many of them that have not been discovered, and what we see in front of us may be just one of them."
"Maybe not even one of them."
