Reading this in the diary, Gao Chao realized that Xia Qiu was a member of the 101 Institute, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of unit the 101 Institute was, so Gao Chao had to continue reading, hoping that there would be more clues in this diary.

In the 1504 military station, they briefly learned about each other's situation, in Zhao Gang's opinion, Xia Qiu is a person who is not good at talking, has a very strange personality, rarely speaks, but he speaks directly, so he is somewhat worried that it may be difficult to get along between Company Commander Zhang Bin and this Professor Xia.

Things are exactly as he imagined, after their first contact, there were some small frictions, mainly Xia Qiu wanted to immediately set off from the military station and walk to the place they were going to enter, but Zhang Bin felt sorry for his soldiers, thinking that the rapid march for three consecutive days had already made this army suffer, and now they needed to rest at least one night before making arrangements, both of them had their own opinions, and finally Zhao Gang adjusted and adopted a compromise method, the troops rested on the spot for four hours, and then set off.

In this way, four hours later, the troops set off from the 1504 military station after sharing some strange instruments carried by the 1504.

They traveled all the way west into Nujiang Prefecture in Yunnan Province, and it took about two weeks to reach what the locals call Gaoligong.

Gaoligong, that is, Gaoli Mountain, in fact, Gong is the meaning of mountain, but the Han people habitually call it Gaoligong Mountain, which is actually a repetitive name.

However, everyone in the 8th Company and the 101st Institute are very unfamiliar with this mountain, in fact, they are all here for the first time.

So if they wanted to enter the mountain, they also needed a guide who knew the situation in the mountain very well, so they took the letter of introduction that had already been opened, went to the local government, and after local coordination, they finally found the best Kang-Tibetan hunter in the Gaoligong area at that time, and the hunter's name was Jiangji.

- When I read the diary, everyone was surprised again, and everyone looked at Jiang Ji, who was sitting in the corner, but Jiang Ji behaved calmly, he did not show a trace of surprise, but lightly told everyone that Jiang Ji was his father.

Only then did everyone understand in a trance, why Jiang Ji was the only one who was willing to take people into this mountain, could it be that he came in this time, what purpose did he have for this?

No one wanted to ask him, and he wouldn't say anything if he did, so Gao Chao could only secretly guess, and then read the diary on.

-- At first, Jiang Ji was reluctant to give them a guide, but Zhao Gang, who had been doing political work, was very experienced in how to carry out ideological work, and after his unremitting efforts, Jiang Ji finally agreed; of course, Jiang Ji also put forward his own requirements, he wanted to join the party, wanted to join the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Zhao Gang readily agreed, promised that after the completion of this task, he submitted his application for joining the party to the party organization, and made an exception to issue Jiang Ji a new military uniform.

Jiang Ji was very happy, he knew that the People's Liberation Army was a soldier of the people, and knew that this was the people's army, so he put that military uniform in the best cabinet at home, and even his wife was not allowed to touch it, so it became his most precious treasure.

In this way, under the leadership of Jiang Ji, they began to advance towards Gaoligong.

At first, the road into the mountains was relatively easy to walk, and they followed the remains of the Ancient Tea Horse Road until they advanced to the central and western part of the mountain, and after four days of advancing, Xia Qiu relied on their own judgment and asked them to change their route and move north.

Jiang Ji told them at this time that he would not have much experience if he went north, because the north was the palace of the Great Black Heaven, where there were only devils and wild beasts.

But how could the soldiers and scientific researchers believe such a legend, they finally persuaded Jiang Ji to continue north into the no-man's land.

However, in the next march, they did encounter a lot of unimaginable difficulties, mosquito bites in the rainforest are still small things, the key is the sudden attack of poisonous snakes, and the harassment of earth bears, which made them miserable, and the troops were reduced, before reaching the woodland, they had already lost 10 warriors, these 10 warriors were all buried in Gaoligong, and there were no tombstones.

And what scared them the most was the Yunnan-Burmese monitor lizard in the swamp, and the red-headed bee colony that infested at that time, they all experienced it, but because of Jiang Ji's presence, they were lucky to avoid the attack of the red-headed bee, and the method they used was to jump into the swamp and stain their bodies with mud.

- The diary records their encounter in the Everglades in detail, which is almost exactly the same as what Gao Chao and they have encountered before, Gao Chao then understands why Xia Qing would be so confident to let everyone jump into the swamp, it seems that she must know a lot about the situation at that time, and the source of her information should be the half of the notes left by Xia Qiu.

However, although Xia Qing understood, he didn't want to share it with everyone, and Gao Chao was also helpless, so he had to continue reading, hoping that there would be a very detailed record in this diary.

-- After they entered the woodland, because they would soon reach the snow line, the troops decided to find a place to be used as a temporary base, so they found a clearing in the woodland on the mountainside, tidied up a little, and placed the tents and supplies that the troops had brought in, and found a small natural cave in the stone wall, which could be used to store some ammunition and supplies.

After the camp was reorganized, they simply set up a radio base station in the camp, a few days of running around, the group rested for a day, Xia Qiucai couldn't wait to lead some people, continue to go to the Gawa Gapu Snow Mountain.

After crossing the snow line, their way ahead was blocked, and there was snow above the snow line all year round, and avalanches were constantly occurring, which added a lot of trouble to them, and according to Xia Qiu's positioning on the map, they found that in order to reach their destination, they had to pass through the highest snow-capped mountain, but this seemed completely impossible at the time.

But fortunately, the hunter Jiang Ji, during a chance trip, found Tunnel 1, which went straight to the other side of the snow-capped mountain, thus solving the biggest problem for them.

However, although the diary mentions Tunnel 1, there is no detailed record of this tunnel, no location, no details, and even the name of Tunnel 1 is temporarily named, which makes Gao Chao and everyone feel a little regretful.

-- Later, the troops and the people of the 101st Institute passed through the No. 1 tunnel together, and as soon as they went out, they were on the north side of the Gawa Gapu Snow Mountain, and they went all the way down, and the road ahead was much better, and when they reached the bottom of the valley, they found that at an altitude of about 3,000 meters, there was an ancient city of unknown historical period.

Xia Qiu seemed very excited at this time, Zhao Gang described, Xia Qiu saw this ancient city, he has been cold on his face, the first time he showed a smile, after they returned to the base that day, the group for the first time with tea instead of wine, in the base singing and dancing, everyone as if they had completed the task.

But the task is far from complete, and this is only the beginning.
