As soon as Tao Tao hung up his mother's phone, Captain Chen's phone called.

Tao Tao saw that it was Captain Chen's call, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

Sure enough, Captain Chen told Tao Tao on the phone that the road in the Sulige Desert was open, and the whole team was ready to enter the desert in the afternoon.

As soon as he thought of entering the desert, Taotao's heart was cold.

When I was in the provincial capital, the temperature was already minus five degrees.

However, when he arrived in Yinchuan by train, the temperature dropped directly to 10 degrees, becoming minus 5 degrees.

He heard that when they arrived at Wushenqi, the temperature would drop by another ten degrees, directly to minus 15 degrees.

And when they actually arrived in the hinterland of the Sulig Desert, the temperature would drop by another fifteen, directly to minus 25 degrees.

Tao Tao shuddered when he thought of the night shift and when he was working on the drill floor, the kind of drilling heart was frozen.

Although Tao Tao brought enough warm clothes, sheepskin jackets, bullshit pants, and cotton socks when he came up this time, he was still afraid of the cold in the Sulige Desert.

Tao Tao came out of the Internet café.

He touched his heel and said in his heart, the wound that had finally healed was estimated to be about to crack open again when Uejing froze.

In the afternoon, the whole team of more than 40 people took a bus and headed for the Sulige Desert.

As soon as the bus left Yinchuan, the surrounding green vegetation began to decrease rapidly.

Two hours later, when the bus entered the desert of Inner Mongolia, the green color disappeared.

At the same time as the green disappeared, the originally calm weather also began to blow violently, and the flying sand and rocks on the ground were blown by the wind, hitting the car window and making a crackling sound.

Tao Tao looked at the desolate scenery outside the window, and his heart was empty.

As the bus approached the destination little by little, Taotao's mood became heavier and more desolate as the parabolic descended.

On the way, the bus stopped to make it easier for the people on the bus to get down.

As soon as Tao Tao got out of the car, he was caught off guard by the cold of minus twenty-five.

He hurriedly put on a hat and a mask to feel better.

When Tao Tao unbuttoned his clothes in the open space, it was convenient, and the yellow sand blown by the wind was flying all over the world, directly hitting his face and body, like a knife cut.

Tao Tao looked at the derrick not far away, and his heart was cold.

He knew that the moment the bus arrived at the derrick, the painful life was about to come.

In the evening, the bus arrived at the 40656A drilling team.

In the past, when everyone left, all the power was cut off, so now, as soon as you get out of the car, you have to start working.

The first step is to start the generator and then connect all the wires to ensure that the entire well site is powered in the cold wilderness.

Once the generator is started, it is necessary to start lifting all the locked switch cabinets into the house and moving them out, making sure that all the wires in all the rooms are connected in parallel.

The whole team worked for four hours in the cold weather, and finally got the camping house with electricity.

As the electric heater got hotter a little bit, the whole camping house slowly warmed up.

Tao Tao and Lao Qu, Zhao Bo, and Cheng Zhengjie also took off their padded jackets and began to celebrate in the room, and the generator finally supplied power to all the camping houses.

But at night, when everyone just lay down, the entire well site suddenly lost power.

Opinions differ about the outage.

However, everyone was told that due to the mistakes of the caretakers during the winter break, all the diesel fuel in the entire well site was stolen by the local villagers, and there was not enough diesel power generation, so the power could only be temporarily cut off.

You have to wait a few days for the diesel to come in before you can get electricity.

When Taotao heard the news, he couldn't believe it.

He stared at the big eyes and said, "There is a power outage in the weather of minus 35 degrees, and in this wilderness, the camping house we live in has not become a freezer in the refrigerator?"

Lao Qu looked at Taotao in shock, he said calmly: "Taotao, you are a new employee, the captain sold the diesel, this is also normal, don't think about it, sleep quietly." ”

Hearing this, Tao Tao was even more stunned.

He couldn't believe it and said, "Master, didn't everyone say that the diesel fuel was stolen by the villagers, how could it be that the captain sold it?"

Lao Qu sneered and said: "A fool believes in diesel, but it was stolen by the fellow countrymen." ”

Zhao Bo, who was in the lower bunk, also sneered, he said: "Taotao, do you think that in the depths of the Sulige Desert, there is no road, no car, no people, even if the thief steals the diesel fuel in the elevated oil tank, will he transport it out?"

Cheng Zhengjie added: "What's more, the surrounding villagers are all Mongolians, and the Mongolians in the Sulige Desert never steal anything, how can it be that they stole diesel?"

After Tao Tao came to the Sulige Desert, he had also heard that the Mongolian herdsmen here did not lock their doors when they went out.

Because the Mongolian people believe that the immortal heaven will punish the thief, there are no thieves in the desert.

Tao Tao felt incredible and said: "In such a cold weather, Captain Chen sold the diesel, didn't anyone stand up and say it?"

Are we going to freeze all of us to death in the camp?"

Lao Qu snorted coldly and said: "The captain of the drilling team, for all the drillers, is the emperor of the soil here, who dares to say it, do you dare to say it, unless you don't want to stay in this team anymore." ”

Zhao Bo even said: "It's too normal for the captain to sell diesel, otherwise how can he make money." ”

Cheng Zhengjie said: "Taotao, just pretend that you don't know anything, don't talk too much, and be careful to take away your one-year bonus." ”

Tao Tao felt that it was getting colder and colder in the house, and he shivered and said, "Master, big brother, how can we sleep at night on such a cold day?"

Lao Qu put on a thick cotton jacket, thick cotton pants, three pairs of thick socks, and then put on a locomotive hat.

He said: "How can you sleep, put on all the clothes you can wear, cover all the things that you can cover, and make do with sleep." ”

Tao Tao looked at Zhao Bo again, in addition to wearing thick socks, he even put on cotton shoes.

Tao Tao was simply stunned.

He looked at Cheng Zhengjie again and found that he was even more outrageous, not only wearing cotton clothes and hats, but also getting a hood worn by a terrorist from somewhere, completely covering his face, leaving only two nostrils to breathe.

Tao Tao looked at everyone in full gear, he took a breath into the air, and found that the hot breath coming out of his mouth was not only clearly visible, but also frozen.

Tao Tao said worriedly: "Master, Zhao Bo, Cheng Zhengjie, let's sleep in this ice cellar for one night, won't we be frozen to death the next day?"

Taotao knows that if the ambient temperature is too low, it will cause the heat dissipation of the human body to be accelerated.

If heat dissipation is greater than heat production, then people will be slowly frozen to death.

And the process of freezing to death is carried out in unconsciously sleep.

Eventually, he dies of paralysis of the vascular motor center or respiratory center.
