Chapter 398: Wind Singing Mountain

According to the coordinates of the line provided by the construction headquarters in the early stage, Shucheng can roughly know the position of the line. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before leaving, Shucheng first asked the technical department and the relevant person in charge to install the Aowei interactive map browser on the mobile phone, which can input all the coordinates into it, and then it can be on the map, roughly showing the direction of the route.

The more detailed the coordinates you enter, the more detailed and accurate the route map will be.

With this map, you can also navigate so that you don't end up straying or finding your general location.

After all, going to the boundary of Kunlun Mountain and Tanggula Mountain are vast uninhabited areas, and it is completely impossible for you to find someone to ask for directions.

Many of these places are swamps, Gobi and barren lands, and the general location can only be found by navigation.

In addition, every member of the departure team should bring warm clothes, after all, the further you go to Kunlun Mountain and Tanggula Mountain, the higher the altitude, the lower the weather temperature.

In particular, the Tanggula Mountains are covered with snow all year round, and the average annual temperature is below zero, even if it is summer, the temperature will not be high.

In addition to clothing, Shucheng specially arranged for Nyingchi, prepared some food and water, and set off from Golmud, to travel more than 150 kilometers to the beginning of the construction line in Shucheng, the middle was deserted and populated, not to mention accommodation, and there was no food.

Therefore, Shucheng must bring enough food in case of accidents, after all, in those places, whether the mobile phone has a signal is still a problem.

In case there is a problem with the car, and the rescue cannot be contacted at that time, the egg hurts to starve to death.

In addition to the preparation of food and clothing, it was also specially arranged for Nyingchi to purchase some medical equipment to carry with him, as well as a small oxygen tank to carry with him.

These oxygen tanks are also to prevent accidents, after all, with the trip to Tanggula Mountain, the altitude is constantly rising, altitude sickness and lack of oxygen, all threaten everyone, who knows what accidents will happen.

Judging from the feeling of Shucheng yesterday, this work is more difficult than imagined, and I feel uncomfortable without work, once the construction is carried out, but it will consume physical strength, breathing faster, and the requirements for oxygen are higher.

Shu Cheng asked everyone to think about what else they needed to bring, and in the end, even some common things such as flashlights were brought.

Originally, there were 14 people from the project department, and several people from the technical department were all going, including Xu Jin, Xu Min, Guo Lei and Cheng Jianling.

There were also Shu Cheng, Wu Batian, Li Jian, and finally even Shanghang and Linzhi Yang Jing followed.

This adds up to nine people, leaving five people in the hotel, and Lin Zhi stays to take care of logistics and pick up some new employees.

Zhan Yuntian and Yan Yuyang are in charge of logistics, and if there is any accident, they have to rely on Yan Yuyang's side.

After all these preparations were completed, Shu Cheng and the others set off in two cars to the Kunlun Mountain area.

The reason why I drove two cars was mainly because I was afraid that one car would break down, and if there was another car, it would be more convenient to rescue.

When everyone set off, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, in fact, Shucheng's purpose today was not to complete all the routes of his own construction, but to find the source of his own construction.

In this way, it is easier to find a railway in the future.

Shucheng, Li Jian, Shang Hang, and Yang Jing sat in Shucheng's Mitsubishi car, and the remaining five people took a business car and drove to Kunlun Mountain.

From Golmud all the way to the south, take the Qinghai-Tibet line and drive to Kunlun Mountain.

In fact, Shucheng is very clear that the route is divided into two sections, one of which is the section from Xining to Golmud, and the construction time of this period will be postponed to the sixties of the last century.

Later, in the second half of the project, that is, during the construction of the second phase of the Tianlu project, the line from Xining to Golmud was also electrified.

The main reason why the Heavenly Route was not built to Lhasa, Tibet, in the last century, is that between Golmud and Lhasa, in addition to the towering Kunlun and Tanggula mountain ranges, there are also plateau permafrost and other problems, which have not been solved.

In addition, the altitude of Tanggula Mountain is more than 5,000 meters, and whether the locomotive traction can pass through such a high altitude and climb such a steep slope is also a problem to be solved.

Therefore, not only the permafrost of the plateau restricts the construction of the sky route, but even the locomotives are also restricted.

Subsequently, after more than half a century of exploration and exploration, especially the study of permafrost, several solutions to the permafrost of the plateau were finally found, which met the requirements of reasonable budget and safe operation.

The second phase of the Sky Route Project, starting from Golmud, is almost parallel to the Qinghai-Tibet line, like a big snake, hovering on the roof of the world, crossing the towering Kunlun Mountains, circumnavigating the snow-capped Tanggula Mountains, and driving into Lhasa, Tibet.

All the way to the south, there are not many pedestrians on the road, and you can occasionally meet some backpackers and some vehicles entering Tibet.

Because the second phase of the Tianlu project was not completed, most people who enter Tibet take the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.

Maybe because they had never been to the plateau, Shang Hang and Yang Jing seemed very excited, and the two chattered non-stop, not taking Shucheng as a project manager in their eyes at all.

Shucheng looked out through the car window, with the Gobi on both sides, and occasionally some green vegetation appeared, but Shucheng knew very well that these vegetation were fragile and difficult to restore once damaged.

In the construction of the sky route, the ecology is fragile, which is one of the three major problems of the sky route, the other is high cold, low pressure, lack of oxygen and permafrost.

In the plateau area, even if you walk faster, you will feel tightness in your chest, poor breathing, and weak body, not to mention the construction on the plateau, which requires physical labor.

Continue to drive forward, the sides are still barren and populated, and some animals can be seen from time to time, appearing on the Gobi Desert, but the legendary Tibetan antelope, Shucheng is not seen.

"Look, Snow Mountain, it's so big and high!" I don't know how long it took, but Shang Airlines suddenly exclaimed and became excited.

Shu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and with the direction of Shang Hang's finger, he saw that several mountains appeared far ahead, including two on the top of the mountain, which was still covered with snow.

Due to the Golmud to Kunlun Mountain, the altitude suddenly rises from more than 2,000 meters to 5,000 meters, which is the most drastic change in the elevation of the Qinghai-Tibet line.

The mountain range you see in front of you is obviously Kunlun Mountain, and before you get close, you can feel the majesty of Kunlun Mountain and be shocked by it.

As the vehicle moved, these majestic mountains seemed more real, and at the same time, on both sides of the road, I finally saw some tents and some sheep.

Shucheng even saw a small supply site with a gas station and some shops.

At the same time, the number of vehicles entering Tibet has gradually increased, and it is obvious that many people have stopped here, and after reloading, they are ready to continue their departure.

Continuing on, according to the display on the map of Ovie, there are still about 90 kilometers to the nearest place, and the mileage is less than halfway away.

Continuing along the Qinghai-Tibet line, Kunlun Mountain is getting closer and closer, and the two main peaks, Yuzhu Peak and Yuxu Peak, are far away.

The snow and glaciers on the top of the mountain are even more realistic.

After driving for about half an hour, the map shows that you need to stay away from the Qinghai-Tibet line and drive into the Gobi Desert.

Two cars drove by, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the Gobi Desert was barren, with some tenacious vegetation occasionally appearing.

Shu Cheng and the others could only rely on navigation and drive forward step by step.

After more than two hours, Shang Hang and Yang Jing were obviously a little sleepy, and their interest was far from being as high as when they set off.

On the Gobi Desert, the performance of off-road vehicles is finally reflected, which is far from being comparable to business vans.

At about eleven o'clock, it was less than ten kilometers away from the starting point of the line of Shucheng construction, and there was a river here that flowed from Kunlun Mountain to this side.

"Let's take a break here!" Shu Cheng commanded.

After more than three hours of driving, everyone was a little sleepy, perhaps because of the air conditioning in the car, no one had strong altitude sickness.

When Shu Cheng got out of the car, a chill hit, and he felt that the temperature around him had dropped a lot, far less than the temperature in Golmud.

"Let's put on a thick coat first, have lunch here, and then set off after eating!" Shu Cheng commanded.

The rolling Kunlun Mountain is not far away, in front of the Kunlun Mountain, there are several small hills, although the height is not as high as the Kunlun Mountain, but it is not short.

In fact, the place where Shucheng stayed was at the foot of that hill, and the ground at this time was no longer wind-blown sand and the Gobi Desert, but brown-red soil and some brown stones.

If Shucheng remembers correctly, the high mountain in front of him is Fengming Mountain (Wind Volcano), and the top of Fengming Mountain at this time is still covered with snow.

The heavenly route starts from Fengming Mountain and officially enters the permafrost zone, which is also the site of Shucheng's construction.

In front of Mt. Fengming, there is also a small mountain range, which was originally a volcanic crater, and later after the eruption, it became this mountain range, and the heavenly route had to dig a tunnel from the side of this mountain range to pass.

The soil of this mountain range is not frozen soil, but a geothermal layer with extremely high temperatures.

Once the construction of this tunnel begins, the temperature inside the tunnel can rise to more than 50 degrees as the depth of excavation increases.

Due to the altitude of this place, which has reached 4,000 meters, the oxygen content in the air is only about half that of Golmud, and the oxygen content is extremely thin.

Once the temperature rises, it is more difficult for people to survive in such a place, not to mention manual labor.

In the plateau area, the anchoring machinery that could be operated by two people can only be operated by four or more people here.

Therefore, how to construct this tunnel in the future is also a problem that Shucheng needs to solve.

When they got out of the car, they took out the food and water they had prepared, laid out a cloth, and sat down in this barren place, surrounded by maroon mud, with a river flowing slowly in front of them.

At this time, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, the sky is cloudless, and the weather is good.

"Do you feel uncomfortable?" After sitting down, Shu Cheng asked.

In the plateau, it is normal for people who have never been to have altitude sickness.

"No, I just feel like it's harder to breathe than before." Xu Min said.

"You are vain, you are not as good as us at a young age, you have to be temperate." Deputy manager Wu Batian quipped.

"Manager Wu, my children have been born, and they are not young." Xu Min argued.

"Manager Shu, you said that this place is difficult to breathe, how can you work." Xu Jin asked.

After getting out of the car, everyone had some difficulty breathing, just like after climbing a mountain, they couldn't breathe, and they always wanted to breathe more air.

Shu Cheng took a few breaths of oxygen just now, and then he felt better, which made him have to sigh, this body is not good.

After thirty, my body is really not as good as before.

"Didn't you say that the heavenly route is all plateau permafrost? Why didn't I even find out? Guo Lei asked curiously.

"It's not there yet, starting from Fengming Mountain, it can be regarded as really entering the plateau permafrost, through Fengming Mountain, there is a vast uninhabited area, where swamps and permafrost gather. After passing through the vast no-man's land, we entered the Tanggula Mountain, and after circumambulating the Tanggula Mountain, we entered the territory of Tibet. Shu Cheng explained.

"Manager Shu, look, what's over there?" At this moment, Cheng Jianling pointed to the sky.

I saw in the distance, a dark cloud as black as ink, rolling in, like a great immortal in the tribulation, lightning and thunder.

The originally clear sky, in an instant, black clouds overwhelmed the city, and it changed when it was said, faster than a woman turning her face!

Immediately afterward, a strong wind howled. (To be continued.) )
