Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

……

Wu Yongjie and his team did bring very good news and results when they returned this time.

But this result was hard-won.

The underground glacier area ahead was indeed very large, exceeding their imagination. When they first surveyed the approximate range, everyone's heart sank to the bottom.

Because no matter how the tunnel route is changed or adjusted, it is almost impossible to bypass the glacier belt. In other words, the tunnel construction will be stuck in the glacier belt and can no longer move forward.

In fact, before entering the mountain to survey, Li Jianguo and Yan Zhuoyu had already roughly predicted the coverage area of ​​the glacier belt. They consulted senior experts from foreign construction teams via email, and even consulted their teachers and classmates, and also checked a lot of information.

But the response was unanimous: "Impossible! Based on the current standards for tunnel construction, it's absolutely impossible to cross this glacial zone."

After receiving such an answer, Li Jianguo, in particular, wanted to die.

Li Jianguo has always been in poor health and looks like a scholar. This time, Wu Yongjie almost excluded him from the survey team, but he was unwilling to do so and insisted on going. He had made up his mind that if the problem really could not be solved, he would rather die in the glacier belt because he would be too ashamed to see the people of Jiangdong.

Because it was he who determined the tunnel entrance and baseline route.

If the project had to be stopped halfway, such a huge project that consumed huge manpower, material resources and time, and suddenly stopped, someone had to be responsible, and he felt that he was the one who needed to be responsible.

So after arriving at the glacier zone, he was the one who was least afraid of death.

Once he even slipped directly into the ice crack. Fortunately, he was equipped with very professional equipment and locks, and he climbed out by himself amid everyone's exclamations.

But Wu Yongjie still scolded him harshly.

"Li Jianguo, do you want to die? Do you want to die?" Wu Yongjie became more and more angry as he spoke. He smashed the ice pick in his hand hard on the ground, stirring up the snow crust under his feet.

"If you want to die, go die now. Take off your equipment and jump now. I will count it as a work-related death and give your family a pension."

Li Jianguo was stunned by the scolding and it took him a while to recover.

Finally, Yan Zhuoyu said, "Captain Wu, you're going too far. Jianguo is just anxious. He wants to find a solution, just like we all do. He didn't do it on purpose."

"Is it true that he moved forward in violation of the regulations?" Wu Jianguo asked.

Yan Zhuoyu adjusted his glasses and didn't dare to say anything more.

Li Jianguo calmed down at this point and said, "I'm dead anyway, so any death is fine. But I'm not dead yet, so I have to work hard. If I really die from a work-related injury, my family will naturally receive a pension, and they will get it without Captain Wu having to apply for it."

This was also the first time that Li Jianguo and Wu Yongjie had a falling out. Both of them said some hurtful words and were angry about it for most of the day.

How did they finally reconcile?

The discovery was made because of a granite section that could potentially pass through the glacial belt. That is, although the glacial belt covers a large area, not all of it is glaciated; it also contains solid rock layers.

This is great news.

Li Jianguo and Wu Yongjie forgot about their quarrel in the morning and excitedly looked at the map and data together, discussing the next survey plan head to head.

Because such an area was discovered, the survey team finally split into two groups. One group continued to walk along the perimeter of the glacier belt. In other words, they needed to measure the actual coverage area, and also know the activity, direction and volume of water in the glacier belt.

In short, the more detailed the data and measurements, the better.

In this kind of work, they forgot their resentment and everything. When it was finally confirmed that there was indeed a buildable road not too far from the original benchmark, everyone cheered. Then Li Jianguo and Wu Yongjie found that they had hugged each other without knowing when.

Both of them were very embarrassed, especially Li Jianguo, who seemed to want to find a hole to crawl into. Wu Yongjie was smart and tapped Li Jianguo on the shoulder. "You are lucky, kid. God didn't want to take you away. Live well. Now you have an explanation."

Li Jianguo's eyes suddenly felt sore and he wanted to cry again.

Since the construction began and the entrance control was determined, Li Jianguo has been under tremendous pressure and internal friction. He finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Because he knew that as long as they crossed the glacier belt, nothing could stop the construction of the West Tianshan super-long tunnel, and there would never be more difficult geological conditions than the glacier belt.

Although this tunnel has only been built halfway, it is already completed for people like Wu Yongjie and Li Jianguo who have rich construction experience.

They seemed to have seen modern vehicles speeding through the successfully built tunnel.

It was as if he could already see the people of the Western Tianshan Mountains cheering, the trade between the two sides in full swing, bustling with activity. He even seemed to see quite a few girls from the north and south, dancing and singing for them with their graceful figures...

When Ling Fengxi saw their report and the new school's benchmark route, his eyes turned red with excitement, but he has always been introverted and did not want to lose his composure on the spot, so he lowered his head and looked at the route, pictures and information they provided over and over again, flipping through them again and again, until Wu Yongjie and Li Jianguo could no longer bear it and could not wait any longer, he finally calmed down, and when he raised his head, his eyes were clear and his face was strange.

He smiled and said, "Very good, you have worked hard, then everyone should prepare to work at full capacity."

Wu Yongjie looked depressed, "That's it?"

Ling Fengxi also felt that it was not a good idea to downplay it so lightly. After all, Wu Yongjie and his team had risked such a great risk to obtain this report and this route.

After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this? I'll go to the herders and buy a hundred or so sheep. We'll eat sheep every day for the next ten days."

Wu Yongjie rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, we are not wolves. We don't have the hobby of eating sheep every day!"

But looking at Ling Fengxi's expression, this was already the biggest reward he could give to everyone. For a moment, they lost interest. Li Jianguo and Yan Zhuoyu laughed. In fact, their geophysical survey this time was mainly for the smooth progress of the project. Now that it was going smoothly, it was the biggest reward for them, the technical staff.

As for the others, how can we reward them?

In fact, Ling Fengxi's idea was good, but Wu Yongjie, like a child, stretched out his hand to ask for rewards, which looked a bit childish.

But in the hearts of Li Jianguo and Yan Zhuoyu, these two people are very cute, and the more they look at them, the cuter they become.
