As Zhang Fu expected, until the next day, the snow in Doka Village showed no signs of stopping. After packing up all the equipment, the survey team left the village as planned and embarked on the road of climbing.

This road was taken by villagers when they went up the mountain to pick snow lotus and cordyceps. Although the road conditions were still poor, the success was that the route had been reasonably planned and the overall altitude 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.

In the vast snow-capped mountains, the mood of the survey team members was unprecedentedly high. Even though the snow continued to fall in the sky, their pace was not slow.

The team members only took 6 hours to climb the zilianna. It was only 3:00 pm. After a brief rest, the group continued north for three hours. Taking advantage of the window when the fresh snow was not thick and the old snow was already hard, they crossed the middle ridge between zilianna and Chamuna and went back to an altitude of 3,600 meters to camp.

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

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

In this gap, Qinghao brought professional surveying team members to the edge of the ridge and began to survey and map the basin surrounded by three mountains below. Zhang Fu naturally followed him to learn, but he did not ask questions, but just listened quietly to the discussion of several people.

"........................ The drop in this area is very large. The pass is very narrow, with a length of less than one kilometer. If a gravity dam is used, the amount of soil consumed can also be controlled."

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

"Can we build a natural dam? You see, the mountain on the east side of Zhibalongba is tilted outward, and its structure is unstable. The entire mountain is blown off by directional blasting, allowing it to fall naturally into the canyon, just to fill the pass."

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

Hearing this, Qinghao shook his head slightly.

"You have a low understanding of explosions. To blow up such a large mountain, the amount of explosives required is huge and the choice of explosive points is also very strict. Of course, it doesn't mean it's not possible. It depends on the risk of construction and the reliability of forming the dam."

"I personally think it's very difficult. To achieve the amount of soil required for the natural dam body, it's basically necessary to blow up a mountain. It's not that easy."

"Can you use a nuclear bomb?"

Zhang Fu, who was standing beside him, all the others turned to him, his eyes a little surprised.

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

"The mountain bombing is already extraordinary enough. If you use a nuclear bomb again..."

"But using a nuclear bomb can indeed solve the problem--a small, thousand-ton nuclear bomb placed on the west side of the Zhibalongba Mountain, the shock wave generated by the explosion can directly cut off the entire mountain, allowing the mountain to slide eastward to the pass. This is much more reliable than what we mentioned in directional blasting?"

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

Qing Hao nodded without commenting, and then replied:

"First record it. We will camp at the Chidan-Camuna ridge tomorrow, then go to Zhibalongba to take a look, measure the mechanical structure, collect the data, and leave it to the rear to demonstrate the feasibility."

"clear!"

After the discussion, these professional surveyors entered the intense surveying and mapping work. Zhang Fu couldn't get involved, so he returned to the camp to help with cooking, but just as he turned around and looked at the camp, a strong sense of incongruity suddenly surged up.

Everything is normal. Everyone in the team is doing their own jobs, making fires, and camping camps. Even if there is nothing to do, they stay aside quietly and use a notebook to record the progress of the task that day.

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

Harmony was broken by this element. From Zhang Fu's perspective, all he saw was like a realistic oil painting, and there was a surreal object hidden in this oil painting, but he could not find it.

Zhang Fu walked to the camp step by step and observed everyone calmly, as if he was playing "Everyone is looking for trouble". Finally, five minutes later, he found the point that made him extremely uneasy.

It was a pair of slender palms with redness in white.

"Where are your gloves?!"

Everyone in the camp was stunned for a moment. Everyone subconsciously looked at their hands, and then they found that six people in the team had taken off their heating gloves for high-altitude areas.

Before they could answer, Zhang Fu angrily rebuked:

"I said I didn't say it before coming?! All the warm equipment cannot be taken off in outdoor situations! Do you know how much it is now? The skin is exposed to the air, and your hands will lose consciousness in no time. Do you want to reduce the number of employees before the task begins?"

The team members who were not wearing gloves lowered their heads in shame, and one of them retorted unwillingly:

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

"Get breathable? How long have you taken it?"

Zhang Fu took off his gloves and rushed forward to hold the other person's hand. As he thought, the purchase was cold.

Even, it has begun to become a little stiff.

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

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

"There are already a sign of frostbite... Put on the gloves quickly! Who told you to take off the gloves?"

"No one...we just saw someone taking off the first one, and then took off."

"Who was the first to take it off?"

Zhang Fu asked.

“………I really didn’t pay attention.”

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

"What happened? You are all old people with many years of outdoor experience. The things you pay attention to before going up the mountain have been emphasized many times. How can such a problem still occur?"

"Plateau Gaohan is not a joke, put on your gloves quickly!"

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

As Zhang Fu said, frostbite in high-altitude environments sometimes occurs in a moment, and the exposed skin cannot withstand the cold wind at an altitude of 4,000 meters. If he hadn't discovered it in time, in a few minutes, these people's palms would probably be severely frostbite.

And they would not have any sense of this.

A storm has temporarily subsided, but Zhang Fu is particularly alert.

This matter seemed a bit too abnormal in his opinion. As Qing Hao said, the team was full of old people with many years of outdoor experience, and many of them had worked in the plateau area. How could they not react to this?

Even a novice with no experience can do anything to remove gloves at the temperature below zero.

This is indeed like an accident caused by negligence, but the probability of such negligence... is too low.

On the contrary, it is like someone is deliberately guiding.

Who was the first person to take off his gloves?

Zhang Fu quietly found Li Fang, a defender of the team, and asked him to strengthen his vigilance. The latter Zheng Keyou and then conveyed the instructions to Liu Chu.

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