Book of Investigation of Poziger Mining in Xinjiang

In August 2022, under funded by the "National Key R & D Plan for R & D Plan", researcher Fan Hongrui, researcher Han Chunming, post -doctoral Li Xinghui, doctoral student Li Haidong, Xie Mingcai and Liang Gaizhong from Beijing to Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Bayin Guo Leng Mongolia Autonomous Prefecture and Aksu region have launched the potential for medium and heavy rare earth resources to evaluate wild geological investigations. This article is a documentary for the investigation team to go to Poser-钽-锆-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷-铷 铷 铷 铷 本 本.

It is more like a good -looking, and the back of the triumphant is full of face.

In the southern Xinjiang in August, it was extremely hot, but at this time, the Aksu area was a desert oasis, and the temperature was comfortable and pleasant. On August 3, after driving more than seven hours from Korla City, after experiencing multiple epidemic prevention examinations, I just woke up from my sleep (the geological inspection the day before yesterday was returned to the accommodation hotel at 1 am), and I heard the same car when I heard the car. Bai Yanglin, who was upright in the distance in the distance, said that Baicheng County arrived! After arranging accommodation, we traveled around the hotel and prepared for subsequent purchasing materials. During the exploration of Boziger 前 and 钽 mining more than 10 years ago, the local survey units had a lot of money. They had repaired a simple lane and arrived near the mining. Due to the years of disrepair and the rivers, the simple road has long been unable to pass, and he has to find another sheep intestine trail to Boziger.

The next day, we went to the villages closest to Poziger to find the guide and horses in the mountains. Next to the public security coal mine near the village, he happened to meet the engineering team of the Xinjiang Oil and Gas Survey Research Institute. Fortunately, a big brother in the team would speak Chinese but also happened to go to Boziger. After detailed negotiations, we return to the food, drinking water, tents, sleeping bags and other supplies required to purchase in Baicheng County. Although there were various accidents during the period (the wild accommodation equipment could not be purchased in full amount/once inaccurate the guide, etc.), in the end, we had eight people, plus 4 horses and 1 mule, or at 2 pm on August 5th at 2 pm on August 5th. Stepping on the winding mountain road to Boziger rock body, it began the four -day "tour" (5th to 8th) of the Geological Investigation of Tianshan in the southwest.

Day 1

Although the journey on the first day (August 5) is the easiest day of the entire inspection period, it is also bitter to walk on the steep and thorns on the mountain road. Crossing major mountains is a must -have for this wild inspection. Because I lack a lot of and efficient exercise for a long time, I feel extremely difficult to walk on steep and twisted mountain roads. In order to save energy, we take a roundabout to circulate forward. Although the distance increases, it also makes the body in a relatively comfortable state.

After nearly 6 hours of hiking through the mountains, we reached the camping location (3200 meters above sea level). Camping is located at the intersection of the two valleys, with a towering peak, facing the open valley, and has a good vision. After a simple rest, we started to remove the materials on the horse's back to support tents and burned water. After everything is ready, everyone is around the fire, eating bags and instant noodles, recalling and laughing about the itinerary and experience of this day. At that moment, they had an inexplicable sense of happiness. The night of the mountains is humid and cold. Although I fell asleep for the first time, I was tired, and I fell asleep. Throughout the night, there was only the chewing sound and insects of the horses in the valley rippling my ears. On August 5th, the camping site took a photo (left: Liang Gaizhong; the second left: Li Xinghui; the second from the right: Xie Mingcai; the fourth from the right: Xun Haidong, the remaining four were the local Uyghur guide).

Day 2

In the early morning of the next day (August 6), with the barking of the shepherd dog in the distance, we also woke up from our sleep, walked out of the tent, deeply breathed the fresh air in the mountains, and enjoyed the ease and beautiful morning of Tianshan. The guide burned the water, and the brothers went to the creek in the mountain valley to wash. Subsequently, we ate compressed biscuits and heated eight treasure porridge around the fire, and this day's difficult and thrilling itinerary opened the curtain. After breakfast, four of our brothers set off (the guides packed their luggage, and then chased the horse).

First of all, we must overcome the mountains (more than 100 meters high), the hillside is steep, gravel is all over, and it is extremely difficult to climb. I chose a winding sheep intestine trail and moved back and forth, so that it was not so laborious. In order to reduce the distance, the brothers chose to go up the mountain directly from the slope. After nearly an hour of climbing and stopping, we finally reached the top of the mountain (about 3600 meters above sea level). At that moment, the heart was full of excitement and joy. It is quite surprising that there is a mobile signal on the top of the mountain. We also use this moment of rest time to contact the teacher and family to tell the experience of this day and the beauty of the mountains at this moment.

After the merger with the four guide club to continue climbing for an hour, we reached a mountain top (about 3600 meters above sea level). It is out of reach, and I am half -mixed. What is excited is that Popzig, who is thinking about (about 5 kilometers), is worried that we also need to turn over more mountains to reach Boziger. The weather in the mountains is always unpredictable. With the drizzle of the wind, the temperature also decreased rapidly, making the journey moved forward extremely difficult.

During the inspection, we all walked along the group of the flock or the fine grooves washed by heavy rain. In the next two hours, we moved forward along the hillside (about 40 °), with crushing rocks on the left, valleys with a depth of 300 or four hundred meters, and a steep cliff on the right. Occasionally, gravel falls. Suddenly the drizzle made the road muddy, it was extremely difficult to walk above, and some sections were likely to slide the valley at any time. I am extremely difficult to go on this journey. Needless to say the difficulties of the reality, but the inner fear is the biggest obstacle, because I don't know when this journey can end. The thoughts of exiting in my mind many times, but each time I couldn't help and support each time. During the undergraduate and graduate students, I have participated in many field geological surveys, but this journey I call it "extremely dangerous" was what I had never experienced and imagined before.

At about 2 pm, we finally walked out of the mountain area and began to enter the mountain. Although the long downhill road made the knee feel sore, at least the heart no longer panicked. It is worth mentioning that walking on a dangerous mountain road is more practical for me who has never rode a horse. Therefore, in the nearly one day, whenever I am not supporting my energy, I always refuse when I invite me to horses. But the first experience on the downhill road made me taste the sweetness of riding. So that in the next two days, I was actively riding on horseback when I encountered physical strength, and what I needed to do was to grab the quilts tied up on the horse's back, so as not to fall.

The mountain peak next to the snow mountain in the distance is the location of the Boziger rock body, about 5 kilometers from the photo shooting.

In the rain, it is difficult to walk in the sheep intestine trail, and the other side is "the abyss"

At about 4 pm, we saw the hills camping at night from the high mountains at an altitude of more than 3,600 meters to a valley of about 2800 meters. When resting in the valley, the flocks of the sheep that returned to the pasture appeared on the cliffs on both sides (hundreds of meters high). A lamb accidentally fell down the cliff more than 100 meters from a high place. Ten minutes later, it stood up miraculously. At this time, his peer guide said: "When we went down the mountain, we walked on a similar road." It was suddenly shuddering.

At five o'clock, we finally reached the campus of the day. Similar to the camping site the day before, here is located at the highlands at the intersection of the two valleys, and there is a summer nomadic family shed next to it. The mountains we are backing are the peaks of the Bozigan rock body. The clouds are lingering and unpredictable. After a simple dinner time, we started to take tents and organize equipment, and prepared for the next day to go to Boziger rock body. At nine o'clock in the evening, although it was too early, we had entered the tent early to rest. At night, the heavenly mountains are quiet and full of vitality.

Our tent was surrounded by shepherd dogs and their friends (from left to right: Xiaohong, Xiaobai and Xiao Hei)

On the 6th, the camping place was shot around the camping place.

Day 3

The early morning in the mountains was humid and cold (7 days). After escaping from the bed, I ran straight to the nomadic house with one of the wizards. This is a simple building covered with stones on all sides and covered with canvas on the roof. The stove in the room is connected to the soil to ensure that the house is relatively warm while cooking. In the discovery of the stones of the barrier wall in the conversation with nomads, there are even alkaline rocks and Tianhe stone samples we are looking for. Its characteristics are completely similar to existing literature records. We went to search in a river approaching dozens of meters, and found many samples of heart longing, which strengthened our confidence to go to the top of the mountain to collect samples.

When we returned to the temporary shed of the Uighur nomads again, accompanying the guide told us that the enthusiastic nomadic breakfast made a large pot of lamb stewed slices and invited us to enjoy it. A bowl of stew represents the hearts of us welcoming us, although we have never met before. Suddenly grateful, extremely moved. Later, I heard that their food was also very scarce. Therefore, when they left here, except for the food and water necessary for the mountains, all the remaining materials were given to enthusiastic nomads. After breakfast, the sun gradually rose, the sun shines on the ground, and the golden light is shining, which is very suitable for us to go to the top of the mountain to work in the wild.

After preparing the necessary equipment, we set off to Boziger. Although the straight line distance is short, the height difference between our camping is about 1,000 meters, which makes our sampling work more challenging. At the bottom of the ditch, more than ten years ago, the geological team built a simple Panshan road built during the exploration work. During the upward movement, the road gradually narrowed, and it was disrepairing years. After three hours of climbing and rest, we came to the edge of the rock body. It was also the temporary station of the geological team that year. The steel structure and equipment that could not be moved down the mountain could be seen everywhere. Here is a variety of rock phase of Boziger rock body, but there is a lack of contact between rock body and surrounding rocks. After a brief stay here, we continued to climb and go to the top of the mountain to search for the original characteristics of the rock body and the contact relationship with the surrounding rock.

We walk on the road of gravel and soil coverage, and the end of the road is the destination

The top of the mountains in the distance is covered by glaciers. The small waterfalls formed by the melting of glaciers under the mountains can be seen near the mountain.

The subsequent journey is like climbing, and the entire hillside has been accumulated by rolling stones. Because the horses cannot walk, they stay in place. The accompanying mule is led to the top of the mountain to transport the sample. At this moment, it is also difficult. On the way forward, I always surrounded a question: How should I go down the mountain after work?

When it arrived on the top of the mountain, the road became more and more difficult, and the clouds were cloudy. The deterioration of the weather has prompted us to speed up the pace to the last point (about 3800 meters above sea level). Here we see the original characteristics of the rock body and its contact relationship with the surrounding rocks. In addition, we can see the abandoned drilling platform. After a series of observations, photos and sampling work, we quickly packed out and started to return. The violent storm prompted us to go down the mountain fast and powerful, and the whole process of going down the mountain was only more than an hour.

When it arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the sky was clear, but the mountains where the rock body was located was still dense and rainy. We and his group sat on the grass, took turns to take a group photo with Ma'er, watching the wild yellow sheep on the cliff wall in the distance, talking and laughing, and at that moment, we enjoyed the beauty of Tianshan. After returning to the camping site simple washing and dinner, I entered the tent to rest early, lying in the tent and looking forward to the joy and expectations of the return road, the brothers and brothers set up various equipment to capture the bright starry sky in the mountains and quiet nights of the mountains. Enjoy the quiet and slow pace of late night.

After taking the same photo, we took a group photo. After changing, we need to hurry up and go down the mountain. Behind it is the exploration manhole that cannot be moved down the mountain.

The dark clouds gathered on the top of the mountain, accompanied by thunder ... Looking around the mountains in the distance, there was a heavy rain under the rain.

Hold the sample with the sample and go down the mountain ...

On the way down the mountain, the weather improved, and I saw the wild yellow sheep on the mountain came out for food, and took a group photo with the horse.

The afterglow of the sunset is sprinkled on the ground, and the end of the night is a stars, very good and good day 4

In the early morning (8th), we started to clean up after waking up in our sleep and preparing for returning to Baicheng County. After breakfast, after the simple greeting with nomads, we set foot on the journey to return to Baicheng. The first plan of the guide was to go out of the river valley near the camping place, but because the horse was unable to walk in the river valley and the weather was unpredictable. For safety reasons, we chose the mountains on the side of the river valley to walk. The pouring rain in the afternoon made the mountain road muddy, and the steps slowly moved down, slowly moving towards the top of the mountain. It is really difficult to sit on the horse's back when I walk, and at this moment of close contact made me feel the difficulties of the horse. At the next moment we experienced a heavy blow on the return journey.

Near noon, the wind, the lightning thunder, and the hail all greeted us at us. The temperature dropped sharply, and the thick raincoat could not stop the baptism of this heavy rain and hail. At that moment, the heart was undoubtedly desperate, but the end was so out of reach. On the way down the mountain, it was expected to reach the end of many times, but it ushered in the mountains and valleys, but in the later memories, there was only a hurry. When we are about to reach the place of departure, the floods caused by heavy rain blocked our way. The guide decided to cross the river after a simple test. The rivers are turbulent and endless, and the horse's belly can be touched in the depths. When the horse walked to the center of the river, I felt a strong impact on the horse's back. At this moment, the only thing I could do was to grab the quilts and ropes on the horse's back tightly to prevent falling into the water. I still think of my heart. In order to bypass the river and avoid the floods that come at any time, we choose to continue to turn over a high mountain to bypass the valley.

After more than an hour of hard walk, we arrived at the Public Security Coal Mine at 8 pm on the 8th to win the teacher with the teachers. When I saw the teachers and drivers beckoning and shouting in the heavy rain, the moment was extremely excited, and joy was nothing to say. Because this indicates that after experiencing heavy ordeal, we successfully arrived in Poser to complete the field inspection and return safely. On the way back to Baicheng County, a rainbow appeared in the sky after the rain. It seemed to celebrate us to successfully complete the wild work. All personnel took a group photo here.

The rainbow behind us welcomes our triumph

The four -day long mountain journey is fleeting, but the experiences and feelings of this will always stay, becoming a strong stroke in life. On the day after leaving Baicheng County, we received a short video in the field of peer guidance, and wished us in good health, work smoothly, and contributing to the development of the mining resources of the motherland. So far, the guidance of the Uighur has been deeply impressed by the sincerity, simplicity, friendliness and enthusiasm of others. Thank you very much for the help and care of the Uighur's compatriots in the wild. I also wish them good health and the day! At the same time, thank you for the precious suggestions and hard work for the driver master! In the end, I would like to thank Teacher Fan Hongrui and Teacher Han Chunming for their careful guidance and Zhou Quanquan.
