Chapter 22: The Backbone
"Senior brothers, senior sisters, and seniors......"
"I'm glad you guys came with me on this long journey to this place......"
"However, we are not blessed to come here this time......"
"We carry a heavy burden on our backs, and we will spend the next six months, a year, or even two years in this barren land......"
"The days ahead are going to be hard."
"I know that you all have a lot of labels, including myself, but from the moment we step into the West, these labels, those labels, should be torn off."
“……”
Cars drive on bumpy mountain roads.
The desert that can be seen everywhere makes many young people feel new at first, and some people take out their mobile phones to take pictures.
But as the road gets longer, many people inevitably develop some altitude sickness.
Dizziness, nausea, retching, difficulty wheezing......
Zhang Sheng also had some more reactions, at this moment, his face was a little ugly, but he was always sitting in his position.
The driver next to him carefully provided an oxygen inhaler to Zhang Sheng, but Zhang Sheng shook his head and refused.
"Mr. Zhang, let's go directly to the destination, or ......"
"Go to the destination ......"
“……”
The driver looked at Zhang Sheng's appearance that his body reacted very strongly, but he still insisted, and in addition to admiration, he was a little more puzzled.
At this moment......
Zhang Sheng has a net worth of more than 10 billion.
[Tengji Technology] and [Jiahu Technology] can't suppress the series of rising enterprises under Zhang Sheng......
It stands to reason that his life is almost complete, but he has to do something that seems a little stupid to ordinary people.
In the past few months, Zhang Sheng has been searching in various areas in the west almost every day, exploring with the workers and finding the corresponding bases together.
In the evening, Zhang Sheng would always follow the researchers to conduct various academic discussions and research, often busy until late at night, and then lie in bed to rest.
During this period, Zhang Sheng wrote many unpublished papers for review by Professor Yang in Yenching......
However, I heard that the papers I wrote were all returned.
This series of things made the driver really incomprehensible, and even felt that Zhang Sheng had a tendency to be masochistic......
Cars soon drove to a remote, inhospitable place.
Zhang Sheng dragged his somewhat tired body over.
After getting out of the car and breathing in the fresh air, the group of young people in the car took a breath.
When they came to the village in the distance from the guide, and there was no electricity until now, everyone was shocked!
See you soon!
That's ......
Ah, 2012!
"Guys, you're all people I chose from the crowd......"
"I also know your determination, don't be long-winded with me, I still want to say that we will all experience ...... situation like today for a long time to come."
"The next road, our car can't get on!"
"If you can follow me on the next road and come back and persevere, then we can finish the project together......"
"If I can't hold on, I won't force ......"
“……”
Shocked.
They saw Zhang Sheng, who was not very strong, and looked at the group of people below seriously.
He took a deep breath, his expression was extremely serious, and then, under the admiring gaze of the guide, he resolutely walked towards the winding mountain road in the distance.
Little by little, time passed.
It's been a difficult journey.
Many young people have blisters on their feet.
But......
The vast distance, as if there was no end in sight, was always blown by the wind and sand, becoming dry and hopeless.
From noon to around evening......
They finally saw a village.
And then......
They saw children and old people, looking at them with shock......
"In this village, there is a primary school ......"
"When children go to junior high school, they have to go through the road we just walked......"
"A lot of young teachers have been here, but they can't hold on for long and they're all gone......"
"In fact, it used to be through electricity here, but later, for some reason, the circuit was damaged, and then some leaders were changed, and the cost was too high, so it was impossible to ...... here."
"In addition to this, there are dozens of similar villages scattered around the surrounding forest, some of which are in even more difficult conditions......
"The roads we have walked are actually the ones that every child has walked......
“……”
When the guide explained the situation of the village, many young people's eyes widened.
It was as if something shook hard in their hearts.
"In fact, these areas without electricity, without exception, are all in high-altitude and cold mountainous areas, with a maximum altitude of 4,980 meters!"
"Most of the climate here is very variable, with extreme temperature differences of nearly 60 degrees Celsius; The geological conditions are complex, the mountains are high and the slopes are steep, 65% of them are high mountains and mountains, and some areas are in the Longmenshan fault zone. The road condition in some areas is extremely poor, and the transportation of engineering materials can only rely on "people carrying horses and horses, shoulders and hands", and the price of an ordinary electric pole is as high as 4-5 times the purchase price after many manual transfers......"
"Moreover, the more important reason is that the entire electric transportation system is extremely complex, and there are many scientific and technological difficulties that have not yet been overcome......"
“……”
Every sentence is like a thorn.
When some of the exhausted young people heard this, their pupils suddenly shrank.
After visiting the places where the locals live, some people even had red circles in their eyes on the spot, and they couldn't ...... themselves for a while
……
Zhang Sheng's expression was very calm.
When the sun set, he stood on the largest rock at the head of the village, looking at a pair of eyes.
"I didn't bring you here this time to make you suffer ...... mere?"
"On the Internet, many times, we will mention the mission and burden, but those cold words, it is difficult for people to have an intuitive feeling, only in the real sense of contact with the real place, see those living compatriots, we can realize that in 2012, in this era of such a developed Internet, there are still some people, some children, living in places we can't imagine......"
"This part of our journey is over."
"But ......"
"We've just started a new journey!"
"I want people to remember what we're doing, what we're going to do, what we can do......"
"I also want people to understand that we are doing something great......"
"But, on this road, you will not be alone, I will accompany you for a long time until ......"
"Win once!"
“……”
“……”
The light of the fire in the distance gradually lit up.
Zhang Sheng's figure looked particularly tall in the firelight.
He pushed his glasses and looked at the figures below.
Then a smile grew.
"That's it!"
"If you are willing to go with me, we will continue to walk, if you feel tired, unable to support, and feel hopeless for the future, you can leave early......"
"The next few days will not be easier than today!"
“……”
………………………………
October 14th.
The wind and sand are still blowing across Tara Beach.
Gong Chunhan watched [Jingsheng Logistics] send a batch of materials again.
This batch of materials made everyone in the [Research Institute] very excited, and many things were the equipment they had been looking forward to for a long time.
Gong Chunhan's face was complicated, and although he had not met, his impression of the [Mr. Zhang] in everyone's mouth had completely changed......
Morning......
He received a copy of the information of [Mr. Zhang].
When he saw that information, Gong Chunhan's eyes were still shocked in addition to shock!
This moment......
He really understood the meaning of the phrase "he doesn't need it" in the leader's mouth.
He never imagined in his life that there were such terrifying people in this world.
At such a young age......
is worth tens of billions, and it is unthinkable that under the great fame, he can give up everything he has at once and devote himself to a big cause.
……
All of this is like a dream.
He was in a trance for a while......
Around 10 o'clock in the morning......
He heard the sound of a car in the distance.
This time, it wasn't the big trucks that were carrying supplies, but the buses.
He followed all the members of the [Research Institute] and walked towards the buses as soon as possible.
He saw a lot of young people who looked tired, but had very determined eyes, and stepped out of the car.
These young people ......
It was nothing like the people he had seen before.
At least in terms of momentum, it doesn't seem to be a concept at all, it seems that everyone is polite and polite, and they seem to be pale from being tortured by Gao Ying, but everyone seems to have a resilience.
Gong Chunhan hurriedly greeted everyone and greeted everyone.
"Mr. Gong, hello ......"
"Hello!"
“……”
Out of this group of young people came an even younger one.
The young man wore glasses, and although his face was very pale, he had a very comfortable smile.
"Are you Mr. Zhang?"
"Just call me Zhang Sheng!"
Under the sun.
The young man shook hands with him, and then introduced the young people from the research institute behind him one by one......
In the introduction......
Gong Chunhan was so excited that he couldn't help himself!
Some of these young people are researchers of [national-level research institutes], some are graduate students of science and technology colleges and universities such as Qingbei, and some are tutors in various fields......
Each of them seems to have been matched, and they are all the talents they desire the most!
And at this moment, these talents are all looking at Zhang Sheng with hot eyes......
When Zhang Sheng introduced everyone's names, everyone straightened their chests, like soldiers about to go to battle.
"Mr. Gong, next, I hope we can cooperate well and complete this project ......"
"Of course, I know that you have a lot of concerns in your heart, and I also know that the next battle is a tough battle, not only to test people's hearts and perseverance, we are still racing against time, but I believe that as long as we all work together in one direction, this battle, we will win!"
“……”
A gust of wind blows......
The sound of wind and sand lingered with a determined sound......
Gong Chunhan looked at the young man and pushed his glasses, looking at himself with a smile.
He had a lot of things in his mind!
Ultimately.
Nodding.
