Chapter 178 Dumplings that took off
The guide assigned to Lao Liu was called Tashi Tsering, the Tibetan compatriot who had just answered Lao Liu.
When Tashi Tsering got into the car, he saw the white lion in the trunk, and was naturally shocked again.
As soon as the car left the county, Lao Liu saw a large piece of solar panels on the edge of the county.
"Hey, this photovoltaic power station here is not small, right?" Lao Liu turned his head and asked Tashi Tsering.
Tashi Tsering, who was sitting in the co-pilot, nodded and said: "This photovoltaic power station was built in 15 years, it seems that it has invested more than 300 million yuan, covers an area of more than 400 acres, and it has been completed and put into use in 17 years, and it is specially designed to supply power to the county." With this photovoltaic power station, the county has finally used electricity in recent years. Boss Liu, do you see those towers over there? That's the newly built power tower, and it is said that by the end of the year, we will be able to connect to the national power grid. β
Tashi Tsering's tone was very excited, and Lao Liu also saw the silver power towers in the distance. Needless to say, it was the power supply line built by the state for the two lakes. In the other corner of the county, Lao Liu also saw a brand-new substation, which should be the supporting facilities of this transmission line.
When the convoy left the county seat, it split into two, with two cars heading north and six cars heading due east.
Whether it's north or east, it's all dirt roads, but this dirt road is much easier to walk than the unpaved provincial road you took yesterday.
At the very least, the dirt road doesn't have as many washboard sections and no shell craters. Although it is a dirt road, it is no problem for the car to run to sixty.
In fact, the terrain on this side of the Qiangtang Plateau is very flat, and because the altitude is too high on the Shuanghu side, most of them are semi-desert alpine meadows.
Except for the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the road passes through a flat river.
Lao Liu's car was going east, and after walking out for about ten minutes, a big lake appeared in front of him.
"That's Caiduo Chaka, the holy lake on our side. Tashi Tsering folded his hands and bowed to the big lake, "I and some people in our village just finished walking around the lake a few days ago, but I didn't expect to come here again today. β
When you get here, you start to see snow on the ground. It may have been snowing a few days ago, but it can't melt at this time.
After Caiduochaka, the convoy headed all the way to the northeast, and as they walked, they saw a herd of black wild yaks grazing leisurely on the side of the road. However, as soon as the convoy approached, the yaks ran away.
Not far ahead, I saw a lone wild yak in the distance, and the speed of the car in front of it suddenly slowed down a lot.
Tashi Tsering said in Mandarin with an awkward accent: "That's the most terrifying creature on the Qiangtang Plateau, the lone cow." This kind of lone cow can weigh more than a ton, and the big one can even reach one and a half tons, manic and irritable, once provoked, can easily overturn a car. Even the brown bears and wolves on the grasslands did not dare to attack such lone cows. The yak herd we saw before also has a large number of yaks, but the cow herd is very timid, and it will run away if it is a little windy. But this kind of lone cow is completely different from the yak herd, even if we meet this kind of lone cow on the grassland, it is far away. β
The lone cow watched the convoy from afar for two or three minutes before turning around and walking slowly in the other direction.
The convoy continued on its way, and after about twenty minutes of walking, it saw a dusty, overturned black Land Rover on the side of the road.
The car had obviously been parked here for a long time, and if it weren't for the English lettering on the front of the car, no one would have believed that such a Range Rover worth 2 million was abandoned on the side of the road.
The convoy stopped, and a group of people got out of the car and watched the Range Rover aggressively.
Second Lieutenant Zhang pointed to the shocking dents on the side of the car and said, "This car probably encountered a lone cow and was overturned by a lone cow." β
Li Junyi nodded and said, "This must be the case." Looking at the appearance of this car, this car has been thrown here for at least more than a year, but I don't know how people are. β
Second Lieutenant Zhang shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I was only transferred from Pana in May this year, and I haven't heard of it." β
Chu Qian asked curiously, "Did this car just throw it here, why didn't the owner tow the car back?"
Li Junyi shrugged his shoulders and said, "First, no trailer will come to this kind of place to tow you a trailer." Second, there are no mechanics who come back here to fix your car. Therefore, once this happens, the best thing to do is to go home safely and not the car. β
Chu Qian stuck out her tongue, "This is really a waste." β
Lao Liu also deeply agrees. In the past, I heard the second uncle say that in the uninhabited area of northern Tibet and the Qinghai-Tibet line, you can often see cars thrown on the side of the road, but now I finally saw this scene with my own eyes, and it would be false to say that it was not shocking.
This is a Range Rover worth 2 million minus......
More than an hour later, the convoy came to a mountain pass.
Second Lieutenant Zhang gave orders over the walkie-talkie, and the two vehicles headed due north, with the destination being the area east of the Puruogangri Glacier, the two vehicles heading northeast, and the destination being the area to the west of the United States and Japan, and finally the two vehicles continued to move eastward, searching for the area west of Dorsodongcuo.
Judging from the map, the area to be searched today is not large, but in fact the area of this area is more than 2,700 square kilometers, and even if you search in three teams, you may not be able to search it within a few days.
Lao Liu took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the northernmost area.
That area was the highest of the three search areas, with an average elevation of over 5,002.
The reason why I chose that area is because it is the closest to the Prugangge Glacier.
Even if you can't go deep into the glacier to see the glacier, it's nice to see it from a close distance. After all, this Prugangeri Glacier is the third largest glacier in the world after the Antarctic and the North Pole, and it is truly the third pole of the world!
Another car that followed Lao Liu was Shi Qiang and Liu Ruoying's Mitsubishi Pajero. There was also a little soldier in their car.
The main task of the little soldier following the car is to protect Lao Liu and their safety. The search and rescue operation was in a no-man's land, where not only wild wolves, wild yaks, but even brown bears were infested. If they really encounter an irresistible danger, then it is the duty of these two little soldiers to shoot and protect Lao Liu.
Don't say that you can't kill a national first-class protected animal, that is a law and regulation that must be followed under ordinary circumstances.
But if you really encounter an irresistible danger, for example, a brown bear is going to eat people, and a tiger is going to eat people, then you still have to shoot it.
There's nothing wrong with this!
Lao Liu, the little soldier in Shi Qiang's car, didn't see it, but he saw that Liu Hongguang, the little soldier in his car, was holding a gun in his arms......
After the three convoys separated, Lao Liu drove a few kilometers to the north and stopped, both Tashi Tsering and Liu Hongguang were puzzled.
Lao Liu whistled at the sky after getting out of the car, and the next moment, a black dot flew from behind, and slowly, this black dot became bigger and bigger, and a golden eagle landed on Lao Liu's left arm with a holster under the stunned gaze of Tashi Tsering and Liu Hongguang.
"Liu, Brother Liu, don't tell me that you raised a golden eagle...... Liu Hongguang swallowed dryly, and looked at the golden eagle standing firmly on Lao Liu's left arm with straight eyes.
"Hehe, it can't be considered that I raised it. This guy was kicked out by his brother or sister when he was a child, and almost fell to his death, but he happened to meet me, so I saved him. Then it grew up, and I released it. But I didn't expect this guy to be reluctant to leave me and wander around me every day, so I had to do this. Oh yes, this guy has a name, it's called Dumpling......"
Liu Hongguang gouged out his ears and eyes with a bitter face, such a golden eagle has such a name, spicy ears......
Tashi Tsering is a Tibetan compatriot, and although the sacred bird he worships is a mountain vulture, the dumpling is a golden eagle, and it looks much more handsome than the mountain vulture. Therefore, Tashi Tsering couldn't help but fold his hands and chant the sutras.
When he left the hotel in the morning, Lao Liu fed the dumplings and let them fly in the sky, and then the dumplings flew all the way here. Lao Liu estimated that the dumplings might be hungry when they were tired, after all, they had flown for sixty or seventy kilometers in a row.
So Lao Liu fed the dumplings some spring water and some fresh meat strips, and then released the dumplings again.
Of course, before the release, Lao Liu gave an order to the dumplings to search for vehicles or people!
This area is no man's land, and there is no one to see within dozens of miles, as long as you see people or cars, it must be the seven missing guys.
The dumplings spread their wings and soared into the air, flying towards the sky.
Ordinary golden eagles can fly up to a height of six thousand meters, and the dumpling has grown up drinking the magical spring water on the plateau since he was a child, even if it is not yet an adult, but Lao Liu has seen the dumpling soaring near the Nianqing Tanggula Peak more than once, and the height is almost the same even if it is not more than seven thousand meters.
Like the DJI drones used by search and rescue teams, the height limit is 500 meters. Although it is possible to fly two or three thousand meters after the restriction is lifted, it still needs to apply to the relevant departments and the Civil Aviation Administration.
If it is according to the national regulations, it will be even lower. The state stipulates that the maximum ceiling of civil UAVs cannot exceed 120 meters at a relative altitude.
Dumplings are different, they can easily fly to an altitude of six or seven thousand meters. Even though the altitude here is more than 5,000 meters, the relative altitude of the dumplings still exceeds 1,000 meters.
And the eyesight of dumplings is excellent, which is not comparable to those so-called high-definition cameras on civilian drones.
Seeing the dumplings soaring in the sky, the two cars continued to walk north.
There are no roads here, even meadows are rare, and at a glance most of them are barren semi-deserts, somewhat similar to the Gobi Desert.
Because there was no road, the speed of the car inevitably slowed down, and after walking forward for about an hour, they ran out for about 30 kilometers before Lao Liu and the others entered the established search area.
It is a valley about 40 kilometers long and about 10 kilometers wide. To the west of the valley is the continuous PrugangΕΓ glacier, which is about 6,000 meters above sea level. To the east is a north-south mountain range, and the altitude given on the map is more than 5,007.
Between the Prugangge glacier and this mountain range is this flat valley.
Looking up at the dumplings soaring in the sky, Lao Liu continued to slow down the car and slowly drove forward behind the dumplings......
