Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

"Yes, Captain Wu told me that, so he couldn't make the decision, so he asked me to come to you..."

Li Jianguo was just a technician, he wasn't good at persuading others. After he said this truth, Ling Fengxi actually laughed. This Wu Yongjie...

"What if you insist on using the Thirteenth Landmark as the exit?"

"The economic losses would be incalculable, and the soft soil wouldn't be able to support the tunnel's dome. Even if it could hold out for a year or two, it would still likely collapse. This would completely ruin the project, and all the manpower, material, and financial resources invested would be wasted."

Ling Fengxi certainly understood what Li Jianguo said. He rubbed his aching head and listened to Li Jianguo say, "Captain Wu also said that if they have to dig a hole here, it's fine. As long as the project can last two to three years, we won't have to worry about it, and we won't be responsible."

"Who says we don't have to take responsibility? Whoever built it is responsible for it until the end." Ling Fengxi added, "We are responsible for our entire lives. Not only do I have responsibilities, but you do too."

Li Jianguo did not comment and stood there like a fool.

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and the rest depended on Ling Fengxi.

Ling Fengxi waved his hand, "I understand, you go back and rest."

As soon as Li Jianguo left, Ling Fengxi got angry and kicked the simple table, making a loud noise. Li Jianguo limped, but did not dare to stay and ran away at a faster speed.

Restarting the survey means that all previous field surveys have been negated. To put it bluntly, it not only negates the results, but also negates a lot of previous survey work and survey teams. They used the country's money and got things done like this. How did the survey results go wrong?

Could it be that after arriving, due to the harsh living conditions, no real survey was conducted? They just casually wrote a report and that was it?

This is pure formalism...

But there is no place to complain about this matter, because the current construction unit, Wu Lao Hu and his team, only conducted a superficial investigation and left early. After that, all decisions regarding this project were mainly based on the surveys of the previous units. Now that there is a problem, we have to look for our own reasons.

The first thing Ling Fengxi had to do was to submit a report, requesting a re-survey and explaining the reasons.

This was an extremely offensive matter, and even Ling Fengxi himself could not escape punishment.

But for the sake of project progress, Ling Fengxi did not dare to delay. He wrote a report and honestly confessed the fact that Wu Laohu and himself had ended the investigation early. Then he reported Li Jianguo's conclusion, denying that the thirteenth site was the exit, and at the same time applied for new survey funds.

Wu Lao Hu was also very frustrated about this matter. He knew Ling Fengxi's personality, which was to "report truthfully". Since it was to report truthfully, and this matter was their own fault, it meant that this report was actually an expose report. If he was not careful, he would be punished, and even the entire plan would be disrupted.

But we have to report it. Tunnel construction is a very dangerous construction project. If the situation of the 13th lot is as Li Jianguo said, the tunnel will not last for a few years after it is barely built.

There is also the possibility of great and unpredictable dangers arising during construction.

Ling Fengxi and Wu Yongjie both knew the seriousness of the matter. They didn't talk much for the next few days and stayed in their respective tents.

When they met while eating and getting food, they just looked at each other briefly and then looked away.

Because both of them are waiting for a result.

If their superiors completely reject both of them because of this incident, they may have to leave the project and be replaced by others in the near future.

It will then become a big joke of the entire project.

Fortunately, they were in the same boat and had someone to keep them company, so they didn't feel particularly bad. However, the West Tianshan Tunnel Project hadn't even started yet, but they had already encountered so many problems, and even their careers might have taken a turn, which made them very emotional.

Having nothing to do that afternoon, the two of them climbed up to Site 12. Looking into the distance, they saw that the camp was very busy, with everyone running around like ants.

Wu Yongjie's face was stung by the wind, and he said, "I need to prepare more snake oil ointment. The wind is too strong. My face is bleeding. Will I be disfigured after this project?"

Ling Fengxi's face was actually cracked by the wind, but fortunately Fang Ya urged him to use skin care oil every day and forced him to apply medicine on his hands, so his situation was better than Wu Yongjie's.

"Whether there is disfigurement or not, it is still a car accident scene," said Ling Fengxi.

"You say I'm ugly, Old Ling? Tell me honestly, I'm tall and mighty, with this look and this figure, am I considered ugly? I'm not afraid to tell you, there are at least a dozen women who like to flirt with me for no reason, and these women are all highly educated, successful, and exceptional."

Ling Fengxi let Wu Yongjie brag without thinking and did not take his words to heart. He just stomped his feet hard. It seemed that the lands 12 and 13 were no different from other hills. Why couldn't it be possible?

"The higher-ups said that the thirteenth site is not acceptable and can be reset. However, this is a serious matter. If there is a problem with the reset location, we will need to bear greater responsibility. Also, the reset location needs to be posted within ten days."

"Ten days? Li Jianguo's leg isn't healed yet."

Wu Yongjie then asked, "What about us? Were we not replaced?"

"The contractor is still unaware of this situation. If you don't pursue this further, you should be fine. Although I don't have to leave, I have issued a military order. That is, this project must not go wrong again under my supervision."

Wu Yongjie was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath. "You've issued a huge military order. This is just a shabby place. Whether anything goes wrong depends entirely on fate. You're gambling with the heavens."

"I'll bet you that if we can think three steps ahead, nothing will go wrong."

"How do you see it? We're standing on this hilltop now. Do you know what's inside? Are there rat holes? Or a water-soluble layer? Or a loose soil layer? Even if we survey it again, we can't completely guarantee the accuracy of the results. Of course, Li Jianguo is more reliable, but he's not a god."

Both of them felt a heavier burden on their shoulders at this moment, but there was no way. Since they had taken over this matter, they had to bear its weight. This was a man's responsibility.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly in the next ten days.

The most gratifying thing is that Lu Haoyang did what he said. Even though the road was not yet fully built, he found a way to deliver many of the machinery and equipment needed for the West Tianshan Tunnel Project to the platform. This also means that the tunnel excavation procedure for the project is about to begin.
