Yan Jiecheng and others were really tired. In this environment, they fell asleep after a while.

When Yan Jiecheng woke up in the morning, he didn't feel anything. He went out and poured some water. When he came back to the room, he felt like he was about to be poisoned.

Holding back the nausea in my heart, I quickly packed up my bedding, packed it and carried it out of the room.

Everyone simply packed up, boiled hot water, ate something, and set off on their way.

In the next few days of the trip, Yan Jiecheng and the others will not even have such accommodation.

Sometimes I stay in local people's homes or abandoned houses, and sometimes I even find a leeward slope to pitch my tent.

No matter what kind of accommodation you choose, there is one painful thing: it is cold, so cold that you feel hopeless.

In the ice and snow at more than ten degrees below zero, he slept in a tent with air leakage from all sides at night. Yan Jiecheng was wearing a cotton coat, a wolfskin mattress, and a quilt outside, but he was still shivering from the cold. At this time, he really realized what it meant to be difficult.

Fortunately, there are still 24 hours a day, and six days have passed before you know it.

Yan Jie formed a line, getting closer and closer to the wind zone.

The wind blowing on his face became more and more powerful. Even if Yan Jiecheng wrapped himself tightly and only exposed his eyes, he could still feel the power of the wind.

On the seventh day of departure, the snow on the road became less and less.

Yan Jiecheng knew that this was not because the snow had melted, but because the wind was so strong that it blew away the snow on the ground.

At noon, we arrived at the wind zone construction site.

This construction site is unlike other places. There are no tents. In the leeward area, rows of nests are covered with snow. From a distance, they look like graveyards.

The building materials were put together and fixed to form windshields, and the snow blown by the strong wind piled up to seven or eight meters high, forming artificial snow mountains.

Under the leadership of Shi Dunzi, several people came to a nest to rest for a while.

After eating some hot food, Yan Jiecheng felt that his body was getting warmer.

In the afternoon, Yan Jiecheng and the others did not take a break. They rode horses to look at the entire wind area.

At night, Yan Jiecheng and three others worked with the technical staff on the construction site to check all the preliminary information.

There are not only survey data, but also some data supported by the meteorological department.

These all require reference to calculate the engineering design plan.

Yan Jiecheng already has the plan. What is needed now is to conduct a large number of calculations with reference to these materials.

For example, the thickness, height, and strength of the windshield wall must be determined based on calculations.

There are also lateral wind direction routing and lateral wind angles that require a little bit of calculation by people like them.

Wind speed and wind strength will all affect the calculation.

Train speed is also an important factor.

After the on-site survey, Yan Jiecheng did not think about returning to Dihua City first, but stayed here directly.

In his words, he wants to break this hard bone first.

After hearing this, Shi Dunzi arranged a relatively large earthen nest for several people.

Yan Jiecheng and his technical staff finally completed the design of the thirty-mile wind zone after half a month of repeated calculations and deductions.

After Shen Youliang knew that the design was finalized, he immediately started organizing the construction.

The thirty-mile line was finally completed years ago with the efforts of thousands of people.

It’s not completely finished, and in the end only the windshield wall is left unfinished.

After all, it’s already the twelfth lunar month, and it’s already minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius here, so cement can’t be used at all.

Now that there is no windshield, Yan Jiecheng prevents the lines from being covered by sand and dust.

So they dug a 30-mile-long sand well in the direction of the wind, which was ten meters wide and five meters deep.

After completing all this, it was already the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Yan Jiecheng and the others did not want to celebrate the New Year on the road, so they simply stayed at the construction site to celebrate the New Year with the workers.

On New Year's Eve, there was also some festive atmosphere on the construction site.

All the workers have a holiday today.

Many people are helping the chefs. Today we eat beef dumplings, and a few cooks cooking big pots of food are still exhausted.

At night, I don’t know where Shen Youliang got a fat sheep.

It was roasting on the bonfire outside, and the suet dripping in the fire made a sizzling sound from time to time.

Yan Jiecheng and the others were all gathered around the bonfire, drinking wine and enjoying themselves.

"Come on, Director Yan. I respect you." Shen Youliang said, holding up the teapot.

Yan Jiecheng was also unambiguous. He lifted the teapot and took a big sip.

Shen Youliang smiled and said, "How about Director Yan? This wine is pretty good."

Yan Jiecheng smacked his lips and said: "It's not bad, the wine has a rich aroma and a long aftertaste."

"That's right, this is our famous wine in the Western Region. A regiment of Ichino was pioneering wasteland in Shoalbulak Town. Later I heard that they were learning from their old regiment leader's spirit of self-reliance, so they started making wine.

Unexpectedly, this wine has gained a reputation. A few years ago, the leader of the Monkey Kingdom visited the army and drank this wine and said it was Moutai from the Western Regions.

If Director Yan doesn’t mind, take two boxes with you when you leave.”

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng thought to himself: Do the group leaders these days like to make their own wine so much?

I heard that Captain Ding was making wine in the Northeast back then.

Why is there such a person in the northwest? They can’t be from the same line.

After the problem in the Sanli Wind Zone was solved, Shen Youliang seemed very relaxed and the conversation became more heart-to-heart.

I told Yan Jiecheng a lot about my experiences over the years.

Those who have some status these days have all beaten little devils.

I can talk about the past for three days and three nights.

Especially knowing that Lao Xie used to be an engineer, the two of them felt even closer.

After drinking until midnight, the two talked about the war in Korea and even hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Then Shen Youyou drunkenly said to Yan Jiecheng: "Director Yan, I, Old Shen, really want to thank you this time.

To be honest, we, Old Shen, have always scolded you scholars in the past.

Did you know? We started building this railway in 1952, and we didn’t know anything at that time.

There are some big guys gesticulating on this construction site, and even those prisoners of war who were young dared to chirp. We have suffered a lot.

As a result, there was nothing they could do in this windy area, and now it is still solved by our own people.

I feel so happy."

Yan Jiecheng listened and knew in his heart. At that time, the country was very poor. From the beginning of the design to the construction of this line, the technical personnel were mainly young prisoners of war transferred from Da Maozi and the Northeast.

Shen Youliang and the others all hold a gun in one hand and a pickaxe in the other, and have no skills in railway construction at all.

After decades of fighting, I thought I had strengthened my back, but found out that I still had to bear the wrath of those small-time prisoners of war, which was hard for me to accept.

Therefore, Yan Jiecheng understands Shen Youliang's mood at this time.

Yan Jiecheng looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Commander Shen, you have to believe in ourselves and the country, and we will definitely get better and better.

One day our infrastructure capabilities will attract the attention of the world.

One day our railway will become unique in the world."

After hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Shen Youliang was greatly inspired and laughed: "Well said, cheers to Director Yan's words and to the early take-off of our country's railway industry."

The entire dinner ended in a scene of howling ghosts and wolves, leaving only a lone sheep bone on the shelf and a pile of empty wine bottles.

Three days later, Yan Jiecheng and the others boarded the road home.
Chapter completed!
