Qiemo River

The Qiemo River (Chinese: 且末河; pinyin: Qiěmò Hé), also called the Cherchen (Chinese: 车尔臣河; pinyin: Chē'ěrchén Hé; Wade–Giles: Ch'e-erh-ch'en Ho) or Qarqan River[1][2], runs across the Tarim Basin in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It feeds into the Lop Nor salty marshes.

Notes
  1. From map: "The representation of international boundaries is not necessarily authoritative."
gollark: Quantum computers can apparently cause problems for all widely deployed asymmetric cryptography via Shor's algorithm.
gollark: It apparently makes brute force take O(sqrt n) time somehow.
gollark: Yes, something something grover's algorithm.
gollark: This is... interesting. I would run it through some sort of automatic formatter tool.
gollark: These are designed to work best on general purpose CPUs - to prevent using dedicated hardware to accelerate bruteforce - and to have a tunable time requirement.
