在沙漠腹地考察，首先需要去除几个容易萌生的念头：征服、战胜、挑战、充楞、出风头……
Fear, Technology, Courage At the hinterland of a desert, one needs to first remove a few thoughts that may easilyconquer, overcome, challenge, or show off….
在这里任何一个念头都可以让你轻则伤筋动骨，泪洒大漠。重则魂飞西天，车毁人亡（非人为机械故障除外）。有人说，只要有胆量和好车，就能在沙漠里为所欲为，那你有空看看以往在沙漠里发生的各种悲剧事故，大部分都是有勇无谋，有胆量无技术，有雄心无敬畏造成的。沙漠有风险，进入需谨慎！
Any impulsive thought can easily lead to physical injury, pain, or even death with accidents. Some people may say,“as long as you have the guts and good cars, you can do whatever you want in the desert.” The evidence of various tragic accidents that have occurred in deserts prove them wrong. Most accident victims are brave, courageous, and ambitious, which is why they ignore the fact that the desert is risky. Everyone needs to be cautious when entering the desert!
要想完成沙漠腹地考察任务，还要完好无损的出来，的确需要胆量和操控技术，以及良好的心里素质，但，这一切都是建立在对沙漠充满敬畏和尊重的前提下，沙漠里，地形复杂多变，空间尺度宏大，高低落差幅度变幻莫测，无法预估和及时反应，有的沙坡接近40度，且百米以上高度，两边都很陡峭，被形象的誉为”A”坡刀锋，大部分翻车事故都在这种地形状况下发生的，翻越此坡要倍加谨慎和高度集中注意力，技术上，操控适度，人车合一，速度不能过快，也不能无力，拿捏准确，宁可担在沙坡刀锋，倒车回来，从头再来，也不能莽撞强冲，造成飞车翻滚。最完美的翻坡动作是，保持四个轮胎紧贴沙面，在车速即将失去前，顺势惯性翻越刀锋……。
If one wants to complete the inspection mission in the desert hinterlands and come back home safe, one must have courage, qualified driving skills, and good mental qualities. All of these qualities have to be based on the premise of respect for deserts. Deserts are complex and changeable, and their spatial scale is grand. The unpredictable height difference of sand slopes does not give most people time to react while driving. Some sand slopes are close to 40 degrees and their height is more than 100 meters; both of their sides are steep, which are called the“A” slopes. Therefore, most rollover accidents occur under such terrains and conditions. Drivers should be highly cautious and focused over such slopes. Technically, one has to drive with balance and consider themselves as the car. The car’s speed and power cannot be too fast or too weak. Taking steps back at the sand slope and start over are preferable, rather than forcing to go, which leads to accidents. The best way to drive over the slopes is to have the four tires close to the sand surface and then turn to the other side of the slope before the speed power fades.
翻越沙漠刀锋后，车子惯性还在，沉重的车头猛然下坠，马上看到的是巨大的、长长的下行长陡坡（初次遇到这种情况，往往会吓得魂飞魄散）人们大多会本能下意识的刹车减速压惊，但，如果车速过快，冲劲太大，紧急刹车，就会导致车辆前滚翻，正确的操控方式，应该适度加油，增加车的前拖拽力量，来抵消车子前翻惯性的冲动，使车子保持平稳后，再视情况加油、点刹、加油、点刹，保持稳定可控的速度，不急不慢的缓缓下坡，切不可失控，俯冲下去，造成事故！除此之外，沙漠里空空如也，地域广大，横竖几万平方公里，要带足汽油、吃喝、户外厨具、帐篷、救援设备、急救包、无线电设备（最好有卫星电话，里面无移动信号）等，就可以进行体验和考察任务了！
After crossing the desert slope, the speed of a car is still constant because of inertia, but the heavy front of the car suddenly falls. This situation can prevent people from stepping on the car break, which can cause a vehicle rollover, especially when fast and impulse speed meets the emergency brake. The right way to control the vehicle is as follows: First, moderately refuel and then increase the front force of the car to offset the impulse from inertia. When the car maintains stability again, one can refuel or brake depending on the situation. Swiftness between braking and refueling can maintain a stable speed to drive through downhill. If one loses control, then one can be involved in an accident! Moreover, deserts are empty and wide, encompassing tens of thousands of square kilometers, so one must prepare enough gasoline, foods and drinks, outdoor kitchenware, tents, rescue equipment, first aid kits, and radio equipment (preferably satellite phones because of the absence of mobile signal), among others. Only then can you can experience and investigate the mission!
沙漠是地球生命体的一部分，敬重沙漠就是敬重地球！
If the Earth is alive, then deserts are part of the life of the Earth. Respect deserts if you respect the Earth.
活着进入、活着出来是最基本要求。
The basic requirement is to enter andtoleave alive.
很幸运，我的同行伙伴，都属于对沙漠有无比的敬畏和高超的操控能力之人，相同的理念，使我们相伴多年，彼此托付、照顾和救援，生死与共。他们教会了我很多操控技术，才使得我能有基本技术能力，去深入沙漠腹地，有惊无险的完成常人无法想象的考察、体验、采风和创作任务！没有他们的不离不弃，我也很难持续完成我的创作活动。我们就像沙粒，来自不同的行业和经历，无问东西，共同的沙漠情节使得我们聚合在每年的特定时间，彼此协助进入沙漠腹地无人区，开展各自的体验活动。
Fortunately, my peers all have respect for deserts and have superb driving skills. With the same philosophy, we have accompanied one another for many years: to entrust, care, and rescue one another and to live and die together. They taught me a driving technique, which gives me the basic ability to visit desert hinterlands and complete the investigation, experience, and collection. Without them, I can hardly complete my creative activities. We are like sand, from different industries and background, without doubt about one another. We assist one another to invest in desert hinterlands. We share the same passion, which allows us to gather every year and celebrate.
感谢好朋友们！
Thank you my friends!
