The film Lop Nur is based on the search for a scarce resource-potassium salt. It tells the story of geologists' wave upon wave, selfless dedication and hard struggle. After eight years' struggle, they finally cracked the password of potash in Lop Nur, discovered the world's super-large potash deposit, turned the sea of death into a city of hope, and built the largest modern potash production base in Asia next to the ancient ruins of Loulan.
The film truly reproduces the life scene of China geologists seeking treasure and selfless dedication for the motherland by documentary methods, and creates a group of heroic images of geological scientists. In it, they profoundly explained the spirit of "three honors" (proud of geological cause, proud of hard work and proud of making contributions to prospecting) and "four specialties" (especially those who can bear hardships, fight and contribute), which vividly embodied the profound connotation of national unity and border construction. The film is ideological, artistic and enjoyable, which vividly reproduces the spirit of contemporary geologists who are indifferent to fame and fortune and patriotic dedication, and presents the touching stories of China geologists who are full of ideals of serving the country, overcoming many difficulties and ensuring the completion of national key projects.
In the film, in Luobei depression, everyone's last hope is that when a clear high-concentration potassium salt brine just gushed out of the exploration pit, everyone present was excited. When the whole geological survey team took three pots of precious potassium brine out of Lop Nur at the painful cost of four deaths and one disappearance, it made us feel extremely heavy. Those three precious brine samples are the life-and-death choices of geologists. They trudged with their own lives and sang their own life ideals and infinite loyalty to the motherland. ...
