Simulation: Great Power Technology

As Zhang Fu had expected, the snow in Duoka Village showed no sign of stopping until the next day. After packing up all the equipment, the survey team left the village as planned and embarked on the road to climb Zirongna.

This road was taken by the villagers when they went up the mountain to pick snow lotus and cordyceps. Although the road conditions were still poor, it was better than the reasonable planning of the route, and the overall elevation did not rise quickly.

The physical fitness of the members of the survey team is generally better than that of ordinary people. At an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, the altitude sickness is not strong. Except for a slight sense of hypoxia, everyone in the team is in good condition.

And in the scenery of the vast snow-capped mountains, the mood of the survey team members is even higher than ever. Even though the snow is constantly falling in the sky, their pace is not slow.

It took only 6 hours for the team members to board the jellyfish, and it was only three o'clock in the afternoon. After a short break, the group continued to walk north for three hours, taking advantage of the fact that the new snow was not thick and the old snow was already frozen. During the hard window period, they crossed the middle ridge between Zijongna and Qiamuna, and went down to camp again at an altitude of 3,600 meters.

At this time, they were only less than 4 kilometers away from Qiamuna, and the progress was even faster than Zhang Fu planned.

There was no fuel on the mountain, but in addition to the fuel blocks that had just been delivered, the survey team also carried some compressed fuel blocks. At this time, the fire started to prepare for the first hot meal of the day.

In this gap, Qing Hao brought a professional survey team to the edge of the ridge and began to survey and map the basin surrounded by the three mountains below. Zhang Fu naturally followed him to study, but he did not ask any questions, just listened to the discussion quietly.

"...The area surrounded by the three mountains of Zhiba Lomba, Chidan and Xana is the best place to build a dam. The drop in this area is very large, and the mountain pass is very narrow, only less than one kilometer in length. Gravity dam, the amount of earthwork that needs to be consumed can also be controlled.”

"The problem now is that the temperature in this area will drop to below zero in winter, and the upper layer of ice is likely to impact the dam body, which requires high strength of the dam body."

"Can we build a natural dam? Look, the mountain on the east side of Zhiba Lomba slopes outward, and its structure is unstable. We use directional blasting to blow up this whole mountain and let it fall into the canyon naturally. , just enough to fill the mountain pass."

"Then we will build a dam and strengthen the structure based on this dammed lake, which will save a lot in terms of engineering difficulty and cost."

Hearing this, Qing Hao shook his head slightly.

"Your understanding of explosions is too low. To blow up such a big mountain, the amount of explosives required is huge, and the selection of explosives is also very strict. Of course, it does not mean that it is impossible, it depends on the construction. risk and the reliability of the formation of the dam.”

"I personally think it is very difficult. To achieve the amount of earthwork required for the natural dam body, it is basically to blow up a mountain. How can it be that easy."

"Can you use a nuclear bomb?"

Zhang Fu on the side interjected, and all the others turned to him, their eyes a little surprised.

"...To be honest, it's also an idea, but the above may not agree."

"Blowing up mountains and building dams is outrageous enough, if nuclear bombs are used again..."

"But the problem can be solved with a nuclear bomb. A small thousand-ton nuclear bomb is placed on the west side of Zhiba Lomba Mountain. The shock wave generated by the explosion can directly cut off the entire mountain, allowing the mountain to naturally slide eastward to the mountain pass. , Is this more reliable than the directional blasting we said?"

"Although it seems a bit reckless, you have to admit that this is the safest solution we have seen so far."

Qing Hao nodded noncommittally, then replied:

"Record it first. Tomorrow we will camp at the Chidan-Chamuna ridge, and then go to Chiba Lomba Peak to have a look, measure the mechanical structure, collect the data, and send it to the rear to demonstrate the feasibility."

"clear!"

After the discussion, these professional surveyors entered the intense surveying and mapping work. Zhang Fu could not get involved, so he returned to the camp to help with cooking, but the moment he turned to look at the camp, a strong violation of The feeling came up suddenly.

Everything is normal. Everyone in the team is performing their duties. The fire is made, the camp is set up, and even if there is nothing to do, they stay quietly on the side and use a notebook to record the progress of the day's tasks.

There is no problem with this division of labor, and everyone's actions are extremely capable and professional, but Zhang Fu clearly feels that there is definitely an element in the picture that should not belong to this scene.

Harmony is broken by this element. From Zhang Fu's perspective, everything he sees is like a realistic oil painting, and there is a surreal object hidden in this oil painting, but he can't find it. arrive.

Zhang Fu walked to the front of the camp step by step, watching everyone calmly, as if he was playing "find the fault," watching the entire survey team. Finally, five minutes later, he found the one that made him extremely uneasy. the point.

It was a pair of slender palms that were red in white.

"Where are your gloves?!"

Everyone in the camp was stunned for a moment, and everyone looked at their hands subconsciously, only to discover that 6 people in the team had taken off the heat-generating gloves specially used for high-cold areas.

Before they could answer, Zhang Fu angrily rebuked:

"I didn't say that before I came here?! You can't take off all your thermal gear when you're outdoors! Do you know what the temperature is now? Your skin will be exposed to the air, and it won't take long for your hands to lose consciousness, what do you think? Are you downsizing before the mission starts?"

The players without gloves bowed their heads in shame, and one of them retorted somewhat unwillingly:

"Xiao Zhang, these gloves are too stuffy, I just want to take them off to get some air..."

"Breathe? How long have you been taking it off?"

Zhang Fu took off his gloves and rushed up to grab the opponent's hand. Just as he thought, it was cold.

Even, it has already begun to be a little stiff.

"Come on, Li Rui, tell him how cold his hands are now!"

Li Rui stepped forward with a solemn expression and shook the man's hand, then nodded and said:

"It's a sign of frostbite.... Put on your gloves! Who told you to take off your gloves?"

"No one... We just watched someone take it off first, and then we took it off."

"Who was the first to take it off?"

Zhang Fu asked.

"...I really didn't notice that."

At the same time, Qing Hao and the others who had completed the surveying and mapping also returned to the camp. Seeing Zhang Fu's performance, he also frowned.

"How did you do it? You are all old people with many years of field experience, and the precautions have been emphasized many times before going up the mountain. How can such a problem still occur?"

"Highland Alpine is not a joke, put your gloves back on!"

Hearing Qing Hao's order, the surveyors in the team put on gloves one after another, and within a few minutes, they all felt a tingling sensation from their palms.

As Zhang Fu said, frostbite in the alpine environment sometimes happens in an instant, and the bare skin can't stand the cold wind at an altitude of 4,000 meters. The palms are likely to be severely frostbitten.

And they won't be aware of it.

A storm subsided temporarily, but Zhang Fu was extra vigilant.

In his opinion, this is a bit too abnormal. As Qing Hao said, the team is full of old people with many years of field experience, and many of them have worked in the plateau area. How could they not respond to this? ?

Even an inexperienced Xiaobai can't take off his gloves in sub-zero temperature.

It does seem like an accident due to negligence, but the probability of such a negligence happening... is too low.

Instead, it was as if someone was deliberately guiding.

Who was the first person to take off the gloves?

Zhang Fu quietly found Li Fang, who was with the team, and asked him to strengthen his vigilance. The latter nodded solemnly, and then conveyed the order to Liu Chu.

At this time, the three of them had vaguely felt that something was wrong in this seemingly normal survey team.
