2001年的“八一”建军节刚过,我们从乌鲁木齐出发,沿天山山脉取道向东,途径新疆吉木萨尔、哈蜜,甘肃柳园、敦煌,青海冷湖、花土沟,风驰电掣般的“牛头”越野车经过三天的颠簸,车窗外的风景就成了一望无垠的荒漠。海拔越来越高,空气中的含氧量越来越低,我们忍着剧烈的高山反应闯进了480公里长的无人区。 此行的目的是采访在阿尔金山寻找黄金的武警黄金十五支队的官兵们。为了安全,支队安排了最好的两辆越野车和经验丰富的贺驶员。尽管这样,对于初上高原的我们来讲心里还是空落落的没个底。离开敦煌一路向西,迎面扑来的是浑黄的 Since the “August 1” Army Day in 2001 was just over, we set off from Urumqi and headed east along the Tianshan Mountains, passing through Jimusul in Xinjiang, Haami in the honey, Liuyuan in Gansu, Dunhuang, Cold Lake in Qinghai, and Huatugou in the Qinghai Province. After three days of bumpy rides on the “Bull Head” buggy, the scenery outside the car window became a desert without any hope. As the altitude increased, the oxygen content in the air became lower and lower, and we endured the 480 kilometers of no man’s land with extreme alpine reactions. The purpose of this trip was to interview the officers and men of the Armed Forces Gold Fifteenth Army who sought gold in the Altun Hills. For safety, the detachment arranged the best two off-road vehicles and experienced convoys. In spite of this, for the first time we were in the plateau, we were still empty. After leaving Dunhuang all the way to the west, it’s Huang’s attack.
