Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Chapter 136: Change of Working Group's Work Direction

The working group understood, but they immediately discovered a flaw. "Didn't you discover this active fault zone when you were determining the route and conducting geological surveys in the early stages?"

Wu Yongjie also answered this question seriously, "The geological structure of the Tianshan region is complex, and the distribution and characteristics of active fault zones are difficult to accurately grasp. Fault zones are hidden deep underground, and the surrounding rocks are broken and the geological structure is unstable, which increases the difficulty of exploration. The conventional geological survey methods currently available in our country are still unable to fully and accurately detect their specific location and scope."

"While modern exploration technology continues to advance, it still has certain limitations in the unique environment of the Western Tianshan Mountains. For example, it's difficult to obtain clear and accurate images of underground structures in complex mountainous areas. The current drilling method, while capable of directly obtaining underground rock samples, is costly and inefficient, and its biggest drawback is its inability to cover the entire tunnel route."

"Furthermore, the harsh environment here, covered in ice and snow year-round, with high altitude and lack of oxygen, presents many challenges to geological surveys. It's difficult for surveyors to carry out long-term, large-scale work. It's easy to get lost in the mountains, and it's also easy to be restricted to local activities due to survival concerns.

The area where the West Tianshan Extra-Long Tunnel is located is very large, and the scope of investigation required is wide. Under limited time and resource conditions, it is difficult to complete such a large-scale geological survey work in a comprehensive and detailed manner, which may also lead to the omission of some active fault zones.

However, the most important thing is that the total length of the West Tianshan Tunnel is currently estimated to be 22 kilometers, and it may be shortened or lengthened after successful construction. However, given its length, it is almost impossible to find a truly perfect and easy route through the West Tianshan Mountains.

In fact, Wu Yongjie has carefully organized and reported these materials, and even Ling Fengxi has a copy. However, a report is a report, and saying it in person is a face-to-face statement, and the effects are different.

Wu Yongjie also praised his own technical department and engineering department. "In such an environment, they persisted and did not give up. They did not retreat when faced with difficulties. They actively solved problems when they encountered them. This is the best we can do."

He spoke highly of himself and his engineering team, but the team did not find fault with the project or object to it as usual.

Because they have seen with their own eyes the difficulties that the Western Tianshan Mountains have brought them, and have also felt the harsh weather in the Western Tianshan Mountains. They don’t even need to feel the complex geological problems, they can see them with their own eyes. The most important thing is that both Wu Yongjie and Ling Fengxi have "blood red" eyes.

Their exhaustion could not be concealed at all, and the workers could be seen dragging themselves through the tunnel, gritting their teeth and persevering.

Although the tunnel has not been completed yet and is currently less than six kilometers long, it is actually very spectacular when you walk in. The various steel frames inside and the construction workers from various departments are working in an orderly manner.

In this case, there is actually no basic reason for the working group to "make trouble".

On the contrary, if something goes wrong during the construction, it is the people who remain in Xitianshan who need to be appeased, rather than those above finding fault.

The working group immediately realized this and held a half-hour meeting in the tunnel. Ling Fengxi and Wu Yongjie certainly could not hear the content of the meeting, but after the meeting, the nature of the working group had changed. It changed from investigating the cause of the accident to investigating the challenges faced by the West Tianshan Super Tunnel and the help it needed after the accident, as well as the extent of the shortage of equipment, machinery, and personnel, and whether substitutes were needed.

They plan to summarize these and other issues that urgently need to be solved.

This surprised Ling Fengxi and Wu Yongjie, and they also felt the organization's attention, care and support for the West Tianshan project. For a moment, they held the hands of everyone in the working group, not knowing what else to say.

This situation made Ling Fengxi feel even more heavy-hearted. At this time, he would rather someone punished him or scolded him, but no one did.

The working group wants to help him...

This made him feel the limitations of his own abilities and the pressure brought by Xitian Mountain, but he was not someone who would be defeated by negative thoughts. All he was thinking about was how to make the Xitian Mountain Tunnel Project go smoothly. As long as it went smoothly, anything would be fine.

The next day, there was another heavy snowfall without warning. The working group was forced to stay in the camp and live in a temporary dormitory that had been cleaned up. They felt further the difficulty of life in the Western Tianshan camp.

Fortunately, there were enough supplies in the camp. Ling Fengxi asked someone to give each person on duty a teacup of milk tea. In the evening, when Ayala and Gulinar were making milk tea, the people in the working group also took a teacup and ran to line up to get milk.

It is not a rare thing at the foot of the mountain. Even some people who don’t like salty milk tea will find this milk tea unusually fragrant when they come to Xitian Mountain.

Ayala's face also glowed with a vibrant glow. Being needed suddenly gave her a lot of strength. Gulinar was still as passionate and beautiful as ever, as if Su Bing and the darkness he brought to her had never existed, or had been completely erased by time.

That day, Fang Ya stayed in the cafeteria for quite a while. When the workers dispersed and Ayala was about to leave on horseback, she walked up to him and said, "Ayala, can we talk?"

Ayala recognized Fang Ya and immediately smiled sincerely, "Doctor Fang, I know you. You are a god-like existence in our Western Tianshan area. We are in great need of doctors here."

Fang Ya's heart moved slightly. Yes, there was a shortage of doctors.

She suddenly remembered Ling Fengxi's plan and idea... After the construction of the West Tianshan Tunnel is completed, the medical room should remain here and continue to be guarded.

Fang Ya smiled, stretched out her hand, and took Ayala's hand. "Ayala, there is a patient who is very disobedient. I think he might listen to you, so I want to talk to you about him."

Ayala almost immediately remembered who the patient was. Her expression grew serious, and she felt a little shy. "Well, well... she might not listen to me."

Fang Ya took Ayala to the medical room, and then placed some of Ling Fengxi's films, medical diagnosis books, and some medicines and injections in front of her, explaining them to Ayala one by one. Ayala nodded continuously. Fang Ya was surprised at her ability to understand, because most of the herdsmen in Western Tianshan did not speak Chinese well.

Medical terms are very difficult to understand and most people cannot understand them, but Ayala has no problem understanding them.
