- Chapter 33 March 3rd, go to the mountains!
Every time Zhou Chunlei goes home on vacation, he always has to explain to others that his place of work is in Alibaba, not Alibaba.
Alibaba does not have internet celebrities carrying goods, nor does it conduct Double Eleven promotions. It is just a barren plateau of 300,000 square kilometers.
Ali is a restricted area of life. Not to mention the delicate and expensive Internet celebrity, even a strong soldier like himself has to struggle with all his strength to survive in that no man’s land.
As time passed and the explanations were given too many times, Zhou Chunlei gradually began to feel bored.
Based on his simple thoughts, he began to wonder whether the Internet was consuming too many social resources.
In Zhou Chunlei’s hometown village, those old men who are too old to walk would sit in the corner and bask in the sun, chatting about Jack Ma and Ma Huateng, and laughing about the former richest man’s small goal of earning 100 million.
But Zhang Chunlei has to explain the difference between Alibaba and Alibaba over and over again, even though the difference is as big as 300,000 square kilometers, and requires war after war to defend.
In 2018, the situation took a turn for the worse.
When the enlightened people of the world finally realized that a huge danger is approaching, what we can really rely on is manufacturing after all, and what needs to be developed at all costs must be science and education. The Internet is still attracting everyone’s attention.
The wise people in the world finally understand that once the army comes to the border, the only people we can rely on are the cutest people. We need to take good care of those who have retired in the past, and don’t chill their hearts with internet celebrities with snake faces. and celebrities still attract everyone’s attention.
Zhang Chunlei actually loves online shopping and likes to use Douyin, but deep down in his heart, he always feels that there are some problems with the allocation of social resources.
Isn’t everyone’s focus on the Internet and celebrity influencers too much?
“It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s that the world is changing so fast…”
Zhang Chunlei said as he received the goods from the airport and drove the military green truck to the camp of the military equipment testing facility.
As a soldier who drives, Zhang Chunlei actually does not want to stay at the equipment testing facility. He has lofty ideals. He wants to go to Pangong Lake and the front line. He feels that that is where real men should stay.
People who have never been to the plateau will never understand that the oxygen content is only 40% in the mainland. Their face and hands are exposed to the sun. Every time they breathe, their lungs hurt like tearing. Every morning when they open their eyes, they feel… What does it feel like to celebrate that you are still alive?
The word “hardship” is simply not enough to describe the cruelty of the plateau.
Every spring and summer, it takes about three days for trucks to deliver supplies to Pangong Lake.
Once winter comes and the mountains are closed by heavy snow, trucks have to travel along National Highway 219, climb over three mountains with an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, and pass through icy roads and snow-covered mountain cols before reaching the front line of Pangong Lake.
As for the time spent on the road, it can range from a week to a lifetime.
Let’s put it this way, if you transport supplies to Pangong Lake once in winter, as long as you come back alive, you can be credited with second-class merit!
This is the plateau frontier, where the hardship and cruelty are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Zhang Chunlei is lucky that he has never been to Pangong Lake in winter, but he is still afraid of winter.
Because the winter on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is different from that in the mainland, the cold wind seems to pierce all the equipment and penetrate directly into people’s bones.
The lack of oxygen in the plateau and the decrease in red blood cells make even the strongest man lack the energy to fight against nature. Even a small cold has a 19% to 40% chance of causing fatal cerebral edema. .
This is the restricted area of life, and its existence is by no means just talk.
Soon after, the truck drove into a flat yard with a five-star red flag hanging in the center and surrounded by rows of bungalows.
Walking to the back of the yard, you can see the shooting range as far as the eye can see. It is often used to test new ammunition and weapons. It is also Zhang Chunlei’s favorite place.
Zhang Chunlei did not have a high degree of education and could not understand the complicated instruments in the laboratory. He felt that weapons testing was more enjoyable. Many of them were out-of-print and unique. After testing, due to various reasons, they were not equipped with troops and disappeared.
Even those military experts had never seen those weapons, but Zhang Chunlei had not only seen them, but also touched them with his own hands. This experience made him feel very proud.
After moving the goods into the warehouse, the chef happily made tomato and egg soup, stir-fried green beans, and braised eggplant.
Everyone ate happily. In this place, fresh vegetables are much more valuable than meat. When there are no fresh vegetables, everyone can only eat canned vegetables or make soup with freeze-dried vegetables.
“Come on, come on, one set for each person, put them on. This is a new product, high-tech, invented by us ourselves, and foreigners can’t buy it with money!”
Song Xiangyang said exaggeratedly, and gave each person a new set of clothes. The sports style came from the big boxes that Zhang Chunlei had just shipped back from the airport.
“Sports clothes? Isn’t this inappropriate?”
“If there is anything inappropriate, the superiors have instructed us to test the plateau cold resistance of the new clothing as soon as possible, so this is our task, do you understand?”
“I understand, I promise to complete the mission!”
Everyone is messing around. As a logistics organization, the equipment testing institute is far less serious than the frontline troops.
When they first got it, no one took these clothes seriously: a quilted shirt, a sports-style cotton jacket that was not much thicker than a jacket, a thin knitted hat, and slim-fitting sweatpants for small feet.
We are all people who have been on the plateau. How can we still withstand the strong wind with these things?
What a joke!
But the underwear is really good, snug and dry, and much more comfortable than the big underpants issued by the army.
However, it didn’t take long for everyone’s faces to turn rosy. In addition to the lack of oxygen, the main reason was the heat.
“What’s going on? Did the kitchen add ingredients to the cooking? Why do I feel a little hot?”
“I also feel a little hot. I feel like I’m wearing the thickest winter coat. Not to mention, this thin one is quite resistant to freezing.”
“Is it true that these clothes are high-tech, as that boy Song Xiangyang said?”
“I went out just now wearing only a shirt. My neck and chin were extremely cold, but I didn’t feel anything where the shirt was covering me. Do you think it’s cool or not?”
“It’s amazing! This is high-tech clothing, isn’t it black technology?”
At night, the cold wind suddenly picked up and howled, like the roar of a herd of animals, and the atmosphere in the equipment testing office reached a climax.
Even though it’s not yet the coldest season of the year, you can withstand the cold wind at night on the plateau with just one shirt. How is this possible? ?
You don’t even need to wear velvet pants on your lower body, just wear a pair of windproof sweatpants, and there will be no problem at all. How is this possible! ?
“With this black technology, we won’t have to wrap it up in rice dumplings in the future, right? You can weigh it yourself, this fabric is so light, it doesn’t even feel like it on your body!”
“We are actually fine here. If we send this set of things to the Pangong Lake front line…”
“Hehe, with such awesome lightweight preparations, we no longer have to wear a sheepskin coat weighing more than forty pounds. Those guys on the front line might dare to attack the enemy camp at night!”
Everyone is talking about it. They have realized the huge value of X2 thermal fiber in the military. After all, modern war often involves logistics.
In this regard, everyone’s evaluation is unprecedentedly unanimous.
Awesome!
So fucking awesome!
Many years ago, I once visited the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. After returning, I decided to live a good life.
