There is an old case in the history of science in my country. It has been a hot topic since the 1980s, and various speculations have emerged. In the Internet era where "time travel" and "different dimensions" are popular, it has been given a lot of "magic" colors.
This old case is the disappearance of famous scientist Peng Jiamu.
Peng Jiamu is a famous biochemist and explorer in my country. In 1980, he led a scientific expedition team to go deep into the unmanned area of Xinjiang Lop Nur , but it disappeared mysteriously. The country spent a lot of manpower to search and rescue but could not be found. So many speculations emerged, such as "kidnapping of foreign spies", "Peng Jiamu defected to the United States", and even being "hijacked by aliens", etc.
After entering the 21st century, the more mysterious " Pisces Jade Pendant " speculation appeared, saying that Peng Jiamu might have been sent to the "parallel world" by the Pisces Jade Pendant.
Of course, these are just speculations with great imagination. Let’s restore this mysterious event that has not yet been cracked from the perspective of science and human nature.
Peng Jiamu was born in Panyu City, Guangdong Province in 1925. In 1943, he was admitted to the Department of Agricultural Chemistry of the National Central University School of Agricultural Sciences (now Nanjing University ). After graduation, he was sent to the Soil Department of the Agricultural Sciences of Peking University School of Agricultural Sciences as an assistant teacher, specializing in agricultural chemistry.
After the founding of New China, Peng Jiamu worked as a researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and had the opportunity to study nuclear magnetic resonance, a cutting-edge technology at that time, in the Soviet Union.
At this moment, the Chinese Academy of Sciences organized a comprehensive scientific investigation committee to prepare to select young members to inspect various parts of the border. Therefore, Peng Jiamu resolutely gave up the opportunity to study abroad and joined this difficult and great scientific investigation.

1956, Peng Jiamu stepped into the deserted Gobi in Lop Nur, Xinjiang for the first time, and since then he has formed an indissoluble bond with Lop Nur. By 1980, Peng Jiamu had led 15 scientific investigations of Lop Nur. Even during that special period, he was criticized and conquered while continuing to study and organize scientific research materials.
In 1980, Peng Jiamu was inspired by a documentary and believed that Lop Nurzang had a resource shortage of the country and some unknown plant resources. So despite his terminal illness, he resolutely applied for another scientific investigation and obtained approval from his superiors.
This scientific expedition was equipped with a very complete team and facilities. In addition to Peng Jiamu, the leader, there were two chemists, as well as one physicist, geologist, zoologist, and botanist. In addition, two security officers and transmitters, three trucks, and three drivers. Each car was loaded with precision scientific instruments. It can be said that it was the most luxurious one of the expedition teams that Peng Jiamu had participated.
However, there was still an unhappiness when the scientific expedition team set off. Due to the excessive load of instruments in the vehicle, the driver and Peng Jiamu had objections. The two quarreled and refused to give in. Finally, they set off after the persuasion of the team members.
After the convoy set off, Peng Jiamu had another fight with the driver because a car had not caught up in the back for a long time. The driver in front had to wait. Peng Jiamu thought that the vehicle behind would catch up, so he just kept moving forward.
Just like that, under the bumpy running-in, the scientific expedition team crossed Lop Nur (more edge, not hinterland) in one month and arrived at the terminal Milan Farm on June 5. Everyone was very happy and even killed a sheep to celebrate.
However, there is one person who is unhappy, that is Peng Jiamu.
Peng Jiamu is an experienced veteran scientific expedition worker. He is not satisfied with the performance of these newcomers and feels that it has not achieved his expected goal. He knows that it is very difficult for the state to approve a field scientific expedition. If the best results are not achieved, I am very sorry to the country.
So Peng Jiamu had an idea: turn around and cross the hinterland of Lop Nur again, which would mean two scientific tests!
However, Peng Jiamu's idea was opposed by most of the team members.
For the past month, everyone has been sleeping in the open, unable to eat well, sleep well, and is very tired physically and mentally. Moreover, the scientific expedition team has not much funding and supplies. If they go back for a second inspection, they may not be able to hold on. Therefore, everyone is very opposed.
Peng Jiamu did not give up, and put forward his ideas to his superiors. The superior was moved by Peng Jiamu's desperate spirit for the cause of the country, so he agreed to his request.
So, the scientific expedition team set off again and headed towards the southeast line with the worst conditions.
This time, the scientific expedition team was very lucky. They expected to arrive in relay station Kumukuduke, which they had been away for 7 days!
It was already mid-June, and the hinterland of Xinjiang had a typical inland desert climate. The summer was extremely hot and dry, with the ground temperature reaching more than 50 degrees, which was like walking on Flame Mountain .
Soon, the scientific expedition team's drinking water and gasoline were almost exhausted. What should I do? Peng Jiamu discussed with everyone.
Everyone has two opinions. One is the opinions of most members, who send a message on the spot for assistance, asking the army to send planes to support drinking water and gasoline; the second is the opinions of Peng Jiamu, who feels that it is too much to trouble the troops to send support, so it is better for everyone to overcome difficulties and find water sources by themselves.
As a result, the team members who had long been dissatisfied with Peng Jiamu rejected Peng Jiamu's opinion and asked nearby troops for help. The troops also agreed to send helicopter to transport drinking water, asking them to wait on the spot.
On the afternoon of June 17, when the team members went to find Peng Jiamu, they found that his tent was empty, only a note left by Peng Jiamu, which read: "I'll go east to find the well, Peng."
When everyone saw it, they panicked and immediately went out to find Peng Jiamu, but after spending several miles, they didn't see Peng Jiamu. After dark, everyone concluded that Peng Jiamu had lost his way, so they fired a signal flare into the sky and turned on the car's headlights, hoping to guide Peng Jiamu back to find the road.
But a night passed, and I didn't wait for Peng Jiamu's return.
The scientific expedition team realized the seriousness of the problem and reported it to their superiors immediately. The superiors also attached great importance to it and sent thousands of troops and more than a dozen aircraft to conduct a dragnet search, but no trace of Peng Jiamu was found.
In the following year, the country organized a total of 4 large-scale searches, but failed to find Peng Jiamu, the first person in Xinjiang's scientific research, disappeared forever on the land where he had been struggling for more than 20 years!
The news of Peng Jiamu's disappearance soon spread across the country. Everyone proposed various speculations and hypotheses. Putting aside the absurd "alien theory" and "time travel theory", there are several speculations worth mentioning.
The most popular thing that everyone agrees is the "murder theory".
Peng Jiamu had antagonistic emotions with the team members from the beginning, which caused some conflicts. As the leader, Peng Jiamu disrespects everyone's opinions and forced himself to conduct a more dangerous second scientific test. As a result, everyone fell into trouble and would definitely arouse dissatisfaction and even hatred from many people. With the accumulation of this hatred, it is also possible to eventually develop into "murdering" Peng Jiamu.
However, after detailed investigation by the public security organs, the possibility of "murder" was ruled out. In addition, everyone also found Peng Jiamu's footprints, sitting prints, food residues, and Peng Jiamu's handwriting. All of them showed that Peng Jiamu's disappearance was caused by his own behavior.
followed by "defector theory".
There was once a rumor that someone had seen Peng Jiamu in a restaurant in Washington, USA, so Peng Jiamu did not disappear, but defected to the United States. The statement
cannot stand scrutiny. At that time, reform and opening up were already in progress. As a well-known scholar at home and abroad, Peng Jiamu could do it in a legitimate way if he wanted to go abroad or even immigrate. There was no need to take advantage of this Xinjiang scientific expedition to "defect".
And, how far is it to go from Lop Nur to the United States? How could Peng Jiamu escape to the United States without being discovered?
Finally, there is another possibility, which is the "suicide theory".
Peng Jiamu is a scientific worker with a strong sense of self-discipline and sacrifice. He is patriotic and dedicated. He always considers national interests and scientific undertakings in everything, and does not care about personal gains and losses.
In fact, Peng Jiamu suffered from cancer very early and was supported by taking medicine and tenacious will. However, before the last scientific examination, Peng Jiamu was diagnosed with another fatal cancer. He knew that he had not had enough time, so he was not hospitalized for treatment, but decided to do his last sprint for the rest of his life.
He had such great hope for this scientific expedition, so when he felt that he could not meet his requirements, he clashed with the team members several times.
However, he later discovered that his impulse had caused the team members to fall into trouble. He could save his life, but he could not let everyone work hard with him. Therefore, Peng Jiamu decided to leave and give everyone a chance to survive.
Peng Jiamu is very familiar with Lop Nur and has even developed feelings for him. If he wants to choose a cemetery for himself, it is undoubtedly the best place. Moreover, he wants to sleep here forever without being disturbed. With his familiarity with Lop Nur, it is completely possible.
More than 40 years have passed since Peng Jiamu disappeared. Although we cannot know what happened back then, we can be sure that it is Peng Jiamu's best destination.
