Recently got acquainted with a fellow who retired early from there, from his mouth to know the hard work of geologists.
First of all, food, geological exploration workers, basically field survival, before the departure of a good plan for each meal only two steamed bread, when living conditions are difficult, we can not afford to take nutritious meat dishes, most of them with some pickled radish and so on. Always eat this is not good, so we look for sand onions in the desert, fresh green and beautiful sand onions do bring everyone a surprise, but sand onions also have a not good is, eat easy to produce night blindness, the vast desert, identify the direction has not easy, plus night blindness this is not to kill people?
Besides, live, field exploration, not in front of the village, not after the store. Coupled with the wild beasts, men and women can only squeeze together, outside the wind and sand crazy, although the inside of the fire, still freezing difficult to sleep.
As for the line is not easy. Although there are liberation trucks, but often out of condition, this time, hit the distance clearly see a yurt, but look at the mountains run dead horse, at least go four or five hours to get there, although the geological exploration workers many people meniscus wear and tear, more than forty years of age got a disease, had to retire early.
More exaggerated is that there is a time, we work before the beginning of spring, the snow closed the mountain when returning, so that a surprisingly more than four years did not see the green leaves. The last return, when I saw the green leaves, can not help but insist from the car down, while crying while walking, has been walking for three hours, before returning home.
As for drilling wells and carrying samples for transit, that kind of suffering is even more rare.
