Since the nomadic helpers joined the search team, it took two full days for the search area, which was about 15 kilometers wide, to reach the arc drawn on the map under the guidance and leadership of Wei Ran.
In the past two days, except for the fact that they did not discover the transport plane that Edward was obsessed with, the rest of their harvest was an eye-opener for Wei Ran.
These casual discoveries included an off-road motorcycle that was in almost intact condition, except that the battery was dead and the fuel tank was out of fuel. There was also a motorcycle produced in the 1990s with a French license plate. There were even two corpses with bullet holes in their temples in the cab of the Renault truck. In addition, they even picked up two wild camels that were shopping together in the desert.
"Stop"
On the afternoon of the third day, Soliman once again gave a signal on the radio channel.
"What did we find this time?"
Wei Ran, who was sitting in the passenger seat, signaled the little guy next to him to step on the brakes and asked boredly. Over the past two days, Wei Ran Having thoroughly seen the "richness" of this desert, he would not be surprised at all even if Soliman told him that he had picked up two aliens who were having a love affair in the hot desert.
"From their description, it sounds like it's the wing of a plane." Soliman said uncertainly, "Wait a minute, I'm heading over there."
"The plane "Yi"
Wei Ran was stunned, and quickly opened the satellite map to take a look. At this time, the closest of the two coordinate points between them and the metal book was almost ten kilometers away. The farthest one is more than 20 kilometers.
"Abba, Abba, give up your seat." Wei Ran said in Chinese to the little guy sitting in the driver's seat.
Aba Aba was naturally the name Wei Ran randomly gave to the little guy who stayed in his car.
In the past two days, the Berber kid who had been pestering Wei Ran not only readily accepted the name that was so different from his real name, but even kept repeating it over and over again. , learned the three crucial Chinese words "stop", "turn left" and "turn right", and learned the corresponding driving skills. Similarly, he also learned the "give up position" that he didn't like to hear, and his favorite word "Give it a go"
Aba Aba pouted and crawled to the back row. After fastening his seat belt skillfully, he hugged a baby who was taking a nap. little fox.
Weiran also opened the door quickly, changed from the co-pilot to the driving seat, controlled the armored pickup truck, and followed the truck in the direction where the wing was found.
A moment later, the off-road vehicle driven by Saleh also followed, carrying Mr. Edward and the Berber chief.
It was already half an hour after the truck at the front stopped after struggling over or around the sandy ridges one after another.
Before the smoke and dust raised by the wheels of the three cars had cleared, Edward was the firstHe pushed open the car door and ran over.
On the contrary, Wei Ran in the armored pickup truck wrapped a turban on himself patiently and waited patiently for the dust outside the car window to calm down before he opened the heavy door and walked slowly I sprayed a thick layer of sunscreen on my exposed skin.
It wasn't until Edward impatiently urged him in the distance that he put an extra fisherman's hat on his head, took the cold Coke from the emperor's grandson Aba Aba, and took a The "royal little follower" who could shout "Aba Aba" strolled over.
"Victor, why are you more troublesome than a woman?" Edward complained dissatisfiedly.
"Because I don't want to be tanned like a zebra"
Wei Ran clinked the Coke in Aba's hand with seriousness, and then took a slow sip. Only then did he look at the discovery buried deep in the shadow of the sand beam, with only half of the outline of the engine exposed.
Just looking at the remaining maroon paint, he had already determined that the wing most likely came from the Junkers 52 transport aircraft
Could it be the wing that broke during the emergency landing?
Wei Ran muttered to himself and nodded towards Soliman who was standing next to him, completely ignoring what happened after the Berber prince borrowed Coke from his son Aba Aba. wailed loudly.
After receiving Wei Ran’s signal, Soliman immediately greeted him, and several men in robes who rushed to help skillfully untied several adult big-eared foxes from the small baskets on the camel’s back and placed them on the camel’s back. near the sand where there was suspected wing debris.
As soon as these little foxes, who had been hungry all morning, landed on the ground, they each propped up two oversized ears and leaned against the sand, listening left and right. Soon after, one of them began to dig wildly. Move the sand.
Without a few moves, a large sand-colored scorpion was pulled aside by the little guy's claws.
Under the crowd's attention, the big-eared fox jumped around the poisonous scorpion, and from time to time it would touch its paw. Within five minutes, the scorpion suddenly The broken tail loses its threat and turns into a crunchy snack.
Looking at the other big-eared foxes, they have already begun to move to other locations to look for food. Until this time, the robe brothers each took out some meat pellets from their pockets and fed them to their pets, and then put them back into the bamboo baskets hanging on the camels' backs.
After eliminating the potential threat, these men in robes immediately took off their homemade slippers made of tires and began to dig up sand along the remains of the wing.
As the dry yellow sand slid away little by little, Mr. Edward's expression changed from excitement to disappointment. He thought that what was buried here was a complete aircraft, but the fact was that as Weiran expected, it was just a wing connected to the engine.
The nomadic helpers used their hands and feet to push the dug-out wings into the shadows under the dunes, and then took two big-eared foxes to inspect them carefully to make sure there was nothing that could kill anyone. small animals. Only then did Wei Ran throw away the finished can, slowly walked up and squatted beside the engine.
"Congratulations, Mr. Edward." Weiyan said in a positive tone, "According to my judgment, this wing comes from a Junkers 52 transport aircraft."
"Are you sure? "Edward asked, "Where's the plane? Could it be in this pile of sand?"
"Of course I'm sure."
Wei Yan gently scratched the wing with his fingernail. The remaining maroon paint, "My business ability in the field of history is much more professional than my knowledge of geography."
And you can also confirm by looking at the color of the paint, this maroon is almost pink. Although the paint color is not the standard painting color of the German Air Force aircraft in North Africa, this color is more camouflaged in the desert."
At this point, Wei Yan simply took off his fisherman hat and buckled it on the little follower. Baaba's head, and then took off his turban as a rag, carefully wiped the remaining sand on the wing, and continued, "One more thing, Mr. Edward, I think you must have noticed it. , There is no German iconic iron cross on the wing, which just proves that it must be performing some secret mission."
"Indeed, I have indeed noticed it." He looked confused just now. Edward immediately followed, "But what does this mean?"
"Remember the telescope your grandfather left behind?" The relevant clues came together, "You must know better than me. There is no German eagle emblem on that telescope. Since there is no German emblem on the telescope, it is natural that the aircraft they were traveling on at that time could not be painted. Wear an iron cross to mark your identity.”
At this point, Wei Ran cleared his throat, until Edward, who was obviously fooled by him, moved his eyes from the wing to his face. Only then did he say with great certainty, "Based on these small clues, I'm sure that at least 80% of this wing comes from the plane that your grandfather, Mr. Losberger, flew on. In other words, the main body of the plane's remains is , probably nearby."
Without thinking at all, Edward said in English to Saleh who came over to watch the fun, "Mr. Saleh, please speak to our patriarch friend. "If their people can find the plane before the sun sets tomorrow, I will send them an extra truck of flour and vegetables, and ten more camels."
You are really good. "Generous"
Wei Ran, who pretended not to understand, muttered to himself and watched coldly as Saleh translated Edward's conditions to the old patriarch who was still sitting in the off-road vehicle blowing the air conditioner.
Compared with the overt and covert dislike of Weiran and Soliman, the old patriarch was particularly happy. By the way, he also added two additional sets of fuel pumps and ten sets of fuel pumps based on the original conditions. A canvas tent and an air-conditioned truck for hauling flour and vegetables were the conditions negotiated.
"Shall we continue searching in the southeast direction?" Soliman asked Wei Ran.
The latter did not answer in a hurry, but slowly shook off the sand on his scarf and put it around his face. Then he took the fisherman's hat handed by the little attendant and put it on his head. Then he pushed the polarizer and replied, "Since the wings have been found, I estimate that the plane should not be too far away. Soliman, let your people use our current position as the center of the circle to search An area within a radius of 15 to 20 kilometers."
At this point, Weiran paused, thought for a while and continued, "In addition, focus on looking for Gobi or stone mountains nearby. Yes, it’s easy to accumulate all kinds of debris blown by the wind.”
“Is there anything else I should pay attention to?” After Liman finished translating Wei Ran's proposal, he continued to ask.
"Let the old patriarch find a place to rest at night as soon as possible."
Wei Ran took the dirty paws of the little follower and said while walking in the direction of the armored pickup truck, "By the way, ask them if they can have that tagine for dinner today, and get some flatbread, roast lamb, and their dipping sauce. I'll freeze a few more bottles of beer later, and we'll have a good drink tonight. Let’s celebrate.”
“Just prepare the beer.” Soliman agreed happily, and greeted the “Crown Prince” standing beside him to get into the cab of the truck.
