Lin Yi heard Xue Peng's words and hesitated, "Now is not the time to worry about how to discover the snowstorm. Let's wait until this period of time passes."
Then he looked at the few people hiding in the cat's ear hole and said, "You guys, please stay close together and cling to each other to keep the heat. Make sure to turn off the power of the electric heating clothes. When you come out to protect yourself from the snow, turn on the electric heating clothes."
Lin Yi could feel that the weather was full of malice and ferocious, which made Lin Yi guess that the snowstorm might not stop in a short time.
I looked at the time and saw that it was now about one o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still seven hours until dusk.
As long as you can survive these seven hours, take advantage of the fact that the wind level will weaken at dusk, and rush to the next temporary resting point in one go, there will be no major problems.
It turned out that Lin Yi had not told everyone about the temporary rest point because this point was not a formal rest point and the regiment headquarters did not know about it.
The regiment headquarters only knew the location of the glacier near the end of the patrol route of Class 8.
This is a point that has been reported to the regiment headquarters. If something goes wrong, just tell this point and the regiment headquarters will instantly know the specific location coordinates of Class 8.
In other places, even reporting to the regiment headquarters is useless. They are areas where rescue is impossible and there are no special signs. In heavy snow, it is impossible to distinguish.
Moreover, these points are extremely irregular. To put it bluntly, they are just a place to hide from the wind. The space is very small and can only be used to prepare for emergencies.
Moreover, in most cases, rest is not allowed in these places.
This is not because of non-compliance, but because patrolling in the mountains relies on willpower. Once you stop and go, a person's willpower will be exhausted. The more you rest, the lazier you will become. This is what it means.
Unless there are special circumstances, such as a person being injured, or the body is uncomfortable and suddenly has high fever, and needs oxygen, they will make temporary repairs at these rest points. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they will not stop at this place.
Down.
At this time, Xue Peng had already begun to shovel the snow outside. The current snowstorm was so heavy that if the snow was not cleared for half an hour, the entrance of the cave would be completely buried. Once the entrance of the cave was buried, oxygen would become the biggest problem, so no matter what
, it is also necessary to ensure that the oxygen channel is unobstructed.
At this time, Lin Yi suddenly thought of something. Since I only need to ensure the smoothness of the oxygen channel, why can't I invent a temporary vent, so that even after a snowstorm, as long as the digging is completed, I don't have to guard the entrance.
No matter how heavy the snow is to bury him, he just needs to stretch out the tube to ensure that oxygen can come in. Isn't that enough?
Besides, leaving only one oxygen channel can also greatly reduce heat dissipation, so wouldn’t everyone be able to persist longer?
Anyway, it was okay now. Lin Yi began to think about the oxygen channel.
First of all, the diameter of the vent cannot be small. To ensure the oxygen supply for a group of seven people, the diameter must not be less than ten centimeters.
But it won't work if it's too wide. If it's too wide, wind and snow will pour in. If too much is poured in, it will be quite inconvenient to clean up the pit.
Secondly, it must be telescopic. It is impossible for everyone to carry a two-meter-high pipe all the time when patrolling. This is unrealistic.
It is best if it can be packed into a common item at any time and can be carried around without getting in the way.
Suddenly Lin Yi saw the map tube on the corporal's body. Isn't this an excellent item for loading ventilation channels? Lin Yi looked at the corporal: "Bring the map tube."
The corporal thought that Lin Yi wanted to study the terrain, so he immediately handed the map tube to Lin Yi, "Platoon leader, I am very familiar with the terrain nearby. If you don't understand something, you can ask me directly."
Lin Yi didn't just need to read the map. He had reconnaissance skills and eagle eye skills. As soon as he raised his eyes, the topography within two kilometers was directly presented in his mind, without any need to ask.
You may be wondering, what age is this? Electronic maps have been widely used for a long time, why do patrol teams still carry paper maps? This is too backward.
In fact, it’s not lagging behind at all. In the average temperature of minus 30 degrees in winter, any electronic device is unreliable. Even a walkie-talkie is not practical here. If you don’t believe me, hang the walkie-talkie on your clothes and see if it turns off after an hour.
Shut down.
Even if you don't shut down the phone, there is still a risk of it crashing, let alone a more advanced electronic map. If it freezes for a while, even if you don't shut down the phone, the touch screen may not be sensitive.
It's impossible to look at a map. I have to put the device in my arms to warm it for half an hour. This is too much of a delay.
Paper maps can be viewed directly after opening them. If you want to see a floor plan, you can use a plan view. If you want to see a three-dimensional map, you can use a three-dimensional map. It is simply not too convenient.
In fact, even in modern warfare, electronic maps have become quite popular, but paper maps are still available.
The reason is very simple. It is precisely because electronic technology is now very developed that there are many means to target electronic equipment, such as electronic jamming bombs and electronic radiation bombs.
Or the graphite bomb known as the electricity killer.
Just throw one, and your electronic equipment is at risk of being paralyzed. If there is no backup of the paper map, once the electronic equipment is paralyzed, how will the battle be fought? It is impossible to command the troops based on feelings.
Let’s digress and get back to the topic…
Lin Yi opened the map tube at this time, took out the map and handed it back to the corporal. Then he measured the diameter of the map tube, and then measured the length.
After simple measurements and calculations, it was found that the map tube could fit a thin stainless steel pipe that telescoped into four sections. This fit made Lin Yi mistakenly believe that the map tube was made to hold ventilation holes.
The corporal looked at Lin Yiliang for a long time and asked curiously: "Platoon leader, what are you doing?"
Lin Yi told everyone about the idea of a temporary ventilation duct. Everyone was stunned. What they were thinking about now was how to spend this dangerous time, but Lin Yi was thinking about how to spend this dangerous time comfortably.
time.
If they hadn't been able to feel the violent cold wind outside, they would have thought that Lin Yi was on vacation, and his thoughts were too exaggerated.
Xue Peng's hands shoveling the snow were almost frozen. He looked at Lin Yi and said, "Platoon Leader Lin, I really hope you can build a temporary ventilation duct now. I can't bear it anymore. Come and replace me."
Okay, I'll wait a minute."
Lin Jing saw that Xue Peng's arms were almost stiff from the cold, and he also knew how cruel the snowstorm outside was. If everyone hadn't had snow pits to take shelter from the wind, it might not have been Xue Peng's arms that were frozen stiff, but
They are the bodies of seven people.
So he quickly took the shovel and said, "Quick, make some room for Xue Peng and ask him to slow down."
