Chapter 176: Search and Rescue Team
At nearly eleven o'clock in the evening, the three cars finally arrived at Shuanghu after nearly eleven hours of arduous trekking.
At night, Lao Liu couldn't see how big this county was, but he heard the second uncle say that Shuanghu was a very small county seat.
Even on the main road in the county seat, there are few street lights.
"Why don't you turn on the street lights here at night? It's so scary. Chu Qian thought in pieces.
Li Junyi smiled: "It's okay now, if you put aside a few years ago, you can hardly see the lights here at night." Even now, Shuanghu has not yet been connected to the national power grid, and the electricity used here is photovoltaic power generation. The altitude is high, and the winters are long every year. And once it is winter, the sunshine time will be insufficient, and photovoltaic power generation will be greatly limited, so the county will often have power outages and power rationing. It's nice to be able to turn on a few street lights now. β
"Oh my God, there is no electricity here?" Chu Qian was surprised.
"Well, it's not powered yet, but it's getting soon. I heard that the State Grid has erected transmission lines, and the county will be able to be connected to electricity by New Year's Day at the latest, and by that time, the county will not be short of electricity. β
Although Lao Liu knew that Shuanghu had not yet been connected to electricity, it was the first time he had encountered such difficult conditions in a serious county.
However, along the way, Lao Liu has a deep understanding of the harsh natural conditions of Shuanghu. Half a century ago, it was a no-man's land, and now it is a miracle that a county town can be established in such a high-altitude area, right?
The highest county in the world is not just a casual statement, with an average altitude of more than 5,000 meters, which is already a real "forbidden area for life". But in such an environment, a county town is built so hard, how high can you expect from it?
Li Junyi made a phone call, drove around a few corners in the county, and came to a hotel called "Jiangnan Hotel".
This hotel is on the second floor of a row of two-story buildings, the first floor is all stores, and the hotel has only one faΓ§ade on the first floor, which is the entrance and the place of registration.
Lao Liu: When they arrived, there was a person wrapped in bread clothes who was standing at the door waiting.
"Old rice, I've kept you waiting. Li Junyi got out of the car and warmly shook hands with this man in his thirties and almost forty years old, "I will introduce you to a few friends, all of whom are colleagues of the Blue Sky Rescue Team of Sunshine City." Uh, Lao Cai doesn't need to be introduced, right?"
The man smiled and nodded, and shook hands with Lao Cai? Obviously, the two knew each other before, and the relationship seemed to be good.
Li Junyi said: "This is Shi Qiang and Liu Ruoying, the executive committee member of our Sunshine City Blue Sky Rescue Team, and also a senior team member." This is Liu Moang, a new member of the team? This is Tian Peng, who is already a reserve player. This is Chu Qian, Xiao Liu's girlfriend, and this time she also came to search and rescue her. This one is Mi Feng, our Blackwater people. Isn't it now planned to set up a blue sky rescue team in Heishui? Lao Mi is one of the organizers. β
With Li Junyi's introduction, everyone shook hands with Lao Mi, which can be regarded as acquaintance.
"Let's go, let's go inside, it's too cold outside. Mi Feng stomped his feet and said.
After parking the car, everyone followed Mi Feng into the Jiangnan Hotel with toiletries or something.
The hotel is very simple, at least from Lao Liu's eyes. Mi Feng explained: "The conditions here are limited, so it's good to have a place to live. There are only four or five hotels in the entire county? β
Lao Liu nodded in understanding.
Really as Lao Mi said, there is no separate bathroom in the room, and the bathroom is shared. And there is no running water, the hot water provided is in the kettle in the hallway, and the rest of the water is in a bucket. There is no air conditioning, no heating, only electric blankets, and even electric blankets if there is a power outage......
But even so, the conditions here are pretty good.
Twin Lakes is not only short of electricity, but also of water!
There was also a young man named Xue Gang in Lao Mi's room, who came with Lao Mi. When Lao Mi went down to greet Li Junyi and his group just now, this young man had already prepared hot water to drink.
"Xiao Xue and I followed the search and rescue team from Heishui at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and after arriving here, we conducted a search and rescue, but there was no result. The search and rescue team in Heishui used drones, but they didn't find ...... "Lao Mi briefly introduced today's situation.
Mifeng is from Heishui, although it is closer from Heishui to Shuanghu than from the inn to Shuanghu, but because National Highway 317 has been repaired, it is faster from Heishui to Shuanghu. If there were no traffic jams, they would have been here in eight hours.
"Are the search and rescue teams on the other side of Heishui firefighters?" asked Li Junyi.
"Well, here are eight firefighters, two cars. The search and rescue team on this side of Shuanghu has been dispatched this morning, and it is also the garrison here. β
Lao Cai cursed in a low voice: "These guys, for their own selfishness, have caused a lot of trouble to others and wasted how many national public resources!"
Li Junyi frowned and said, "Lao Cai, don't talk about these useless things, remember our duties." β
Lao Cai didn't squeak at this time.
Lao Mi continued: "The origin of these people has been found out this morning. The men had checked into a hotel in Bangor the night before, but there was no information at the Doma checkpoint about their passage through the checkpoint, and it is assumed that the men had bypassed the checkpoint from the grassland to enter the twin lakes. And they don't seem to be staying at Shuanghu either, none of the five hotels in Shuanghu have any information about their check-in, the Shuanghu Forestry Bureau has not received an application to go to the Purugangri Glacier, and there is no information about these people at the checkpoint on the Purugangri Glacier Road. β
Liu Ruoying said: "It seems that this group of people has been prepared for a long time, knowing that now the Puruogangri glacier is closed, not allowing tourists to enter, and there are checkpoints on the road, so these people have already planned the route before going around." β
Shi Qiang said with certainty: "There must be acquaintances leading the way, otherwise they would not have bypassed the checkpoint so accurately." β
Several people nodded together, and Lao Mi said: "This is how the local and Heishui search and rescue teams judge. But it's precisely because these people didn't leave any information that we don't know which direction they went. What if they didn't go to the Pruogangri Glacier but to Hoh Xil further north?"
Li Junyi shook his head and said, "Probably not." The first is that time does not allow. They had checked in in Bangor the night before and arrived at Twin Lakes at noon yesterday at the earliest. Counting the time to eat and sleep, they couldn't get to Hoh Xili, north of Tanggula Mountain. By the way, didn't their distress call this morning say where they were?"
"No, because they don't know where they are. Just to say that there are snow-capped mountains all around......"
Everyone fell silent, this is a fart message......
......
On the blue planet, there is currently only one county with an average elevation of more than 5,000 meters, and that is Twin Lakes.
At 8:40 a.m., the sun had just risen over the mountains in the east, but at this time, the entire county was still silent.
But Lao Liu, they had already gotten up early.
Didn't sleep well last night. The main thing is that it is too cold, even if you don't take off your clothes and cover your own duvet, you are still choked by the cold.
Moreover, Lao Liu and Chu Qian's wish to sleep in the same room was disappointed again, and it was Liu Ruoying who disturbed the situation this time.
This girl not only took Chu Qian away, but also kicked her husband to Lao Liu......
However, because he was worried that Chu Qian would be cold, Lao Liu asked Chu Qian to lead the white lion over, and with the white lion there, it was equivalent to a small stove lying next to him.
The dumplings slept with Lao Liu, Shi Qiang, Li Junyi and Tian Peng. The four of them slept in the four-person room last night, and Lao Cai slept in the same room with Lao Mi and Xue Gang.
Although the members of the Blue Sky Rescue Team are all not bad at money, every time they come out to rescue, they pay out of their own pockets, and they still try to save as much as possible.
After washing up with the hot water provided by the hotel, the group hurried to the county people's armed forces department. The rescue team from Heishui was staying in the barracks behind the county people's armed forces department yesterday.
I found a breakfast restaurant that was open on the road, and after a few people enjoyed a breakfast that was not delicious but expensive, they came to the door of the People's Armed Forces Department.
Before waiting for the other two search and rescue teams to come out, several smokers were smoking outside and complaining, and the target of the complaint was naturally today's breakfast.
Li Junyi said with a smile: "You guys should be content, don't talk about ten years ago, even if you come here four or five years ago, it is estimated that you will all have to cry!"
"Brother Yi, it was even more difficult at that time than now?"
"That's for sure. When I came here a year or four, there was only one gas station, one hotel and two restaurants in the entire county. I remember when I came here, my friends and I went to a restaurant for dinner, and one slapped cucumber was sixty-eight, and one cold peanut was also sixty-eight. If you want a scrambled egg with tomatoes, eighty ......."
"So expensive?"
"Of course, don't you look at where this is?" Li Junyi pouted, "It's not too expensive, my friends and I came here all the way, why don't we have to eat a hot meal and drink a little wine to relieve fatigue, so my buddy said to the boss, let's shoot cucumbers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and stir-fried beef with peppers, but guess what?"
Several people craned their necks to look at Li Junyi.
"The boss said very arrogantly, no! Now there is only wine and spiced peanuts......
"Ah, is this a restaurant?" Chu Qian was surprised.
"Hehe, I really don't blame the restaurant owner for this. At that time, almost all the supplies here were brought in from outside, such as vegetables and so on, only once a week. When we came here, it had been five days since the last supply, so there were still any ingredients for you to stir-fry. β
Lao Cai patted Li Junyi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Lao Li, when you and Photon came here that time, you could only think about fart?"
Several people laughed together, and Li Junyi pointed at Lao Cai and laughed along.
"So, the situation is much better now than it was a few years ago, at least there will be a hot meal for you to eat, and it won't make you want to fart!"
Several people laughed again.
Talking and laughing, four Changfeng cheetahs with military plates drove out of the gate of the county people's armed forces, and a second lieutenant officer got out of the car and shook hands with Mi Feng, and Mi Feng introduced Li Junyi to the officer, which immediately made the second lieutenant officer surnamed Zhang smile on his face.
"Thank you for participating in this search and rescue operation, and with your help, we hope to find the seven missing people as soon as possible. Let's go, let's go now. Captain Mi and Captain Li, I hope you can get into my car, and we will discuss how to carry out the search and rescue on the way. β
Mi Feng and Li Junyi got into the car of Second Lieutenant Zhang, and two little soldiers got out of Second Lieutenant Zhang's car, one got into Mi Feng's car and the other got into Lao Liu's car.
As soon as the little soldier got into the car, he was startled by the white lion standing in the back seat, "Oh, what kind of dog is this, so big?" As soon as he heard his accent, he knew that he was from Bashu.
"Hehe, don't worry, this is my white lion, a snow mastiff, very sensible. Chu Qian spoke out to comfort the little warrior.
When the little soldier saw that there was a big beautiful woman sitting in the back seat of the car, his face immediately turned red.
Lao Liu stretched out his hand, and the little soldier was stunned for a moment, but he still shook hands with Lao Liu, but he didn't dare to look at Chu Qian, probably worried that Chu Qian would also shake hands with him.
Lao Liu smiled: "Brother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law won't eat people." Well, my name is Liu Moang, it's a pleasure to meet you, this is my girlfriend Chu Qian. β
The little warrior nodded, "My name is Liu Hongguang, and it's a pleasure to meet you." β
"Yo, our brothers were still a family five hundred years ago. Lao Liu said with a smile as he started the car.
The little warrior was no longer nervous and nodded with a smile.
Lao Liu controlled the car to keep up with Lao Cai's Ford Raptor in front, and asked the little soldier while driving: "Brother, when did you come up to be a soldier?"
"I'm a new recruit this year, and I only came to Twin Lakes at the beginning of last month. β
"Look at your age, that's eighteen or nineteen, right?"
"Well, I'm eighteen years old, I have no hope for the college entrance examination, and I signed up for the army after graduating from high school. Slowly getting acquainted, the little warrior became cheerful.
"Then are you still comfortable here?" Chu Qian asked softly.
"It's okay! I was uncomfortable for more than ten days when I first came up, but now I'm completely fine. β
As he spoke, the convoy came to the north of the county seat. The county itself is not large, and the longest from north to south is only about one kilometer.
The convoy stopped on the side of the road, where four Tibetans were standing.
The second lieutenant Zhang got out of the car, and the others also got out of the car. "We now have a total of eight vehicles, so today I am going to divide into four teams to search, each team of two vehicles," said Second Lieutenant Zhang. In addition, these four Tibetans were specially looking for guides, and each convoy followed a guide.
In addition, today we are searching in the direction of the area due north of the county seat to the Puruogangri Glacier. Yesterday afternoon we searched a part of the area, but found nothing, and today our plan is to expand the search. Come, let's get together, and I'll tell you about the scope of today's search. β
Seeing that Ensign Zhang took out a map and spread it on the front cover of the car, several people surrounded him.
However, Lao Liu listened to the search range pointed out by Ensign Zhang, and looked at the map, and always faintly felt that something was wrong.
Before going to bed last night, he deliberately used the satellite map combined with the local map to look at the surrounding situation, and intuitively, he always felt that the seven people who had lost contact did not seem to be lost near the Twin Lakes.
Now that he saw the more detailed map that Ensign Zhang took out and his search plan, the feeling in Lao Liu's heart was even more obvious......
