I Plant A Field In The Last Days

Chapter 439: Tunnel in the Snow

The wind and snow seemed to increase again, and everyone's work began to become more arduous.

Almost every hour, the surrounding environment changes. There seemed to be a small house not far away, but after a day of heavy snow, the house was no longer traced, only a small snow hill was left.

Almost all of Lu Yuan's body was buried in the snowdrift. Behind him was his grandparents Xiaoshan and his parents dragging him. Now everyone is divided into groups, starting to clean the snowy road continuously from several directions.

However, the speed of snow accumulation is too fast. If you stop the movement in your hand, it will basically not take long before the road that has just been cleaned will be directly covered.

"No way, Lu Yuan, at this speed, we won't be able to dig a path any time!"

Zhou Tong shook the snow on his body.

Lu Yuan put down the shovel in his hand, looking at the two-story snow layer, suddenly lost in thought.

"Did we have the wrong plan from the beginning?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Tong looked at Lu Yuan in surprise.

"If we don't clear all the snow out, but drill a tunnel directly from below, will the speed be reduced a lot?"

Zhou Tong was taken aback and frowned at random: "We have considered this before, but this snow layer is like pork belly, layer by layer. If we dig out the lower part, the snow above may bury the lower part. Live! Can't be so adventurous!"

Lu Yuan nodded, but then shook his head again: "No, didn't it happen in tunnels before! But why others can overcome the collapse of the mountains, we can also learn from it!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan suddenly became excited, and then shouted at the people working nearby: "Stop all! Stop all!"

Hearing what Lu Yuan said, everyone looked at each other. Some didn't understand why Lu Yuan wanted them to stop, but everyone was very tired. Hearing him call to stop, they all put down their tools and surrounded them. .

"Have we ever worked in the engineering team here? It's better to have worked in the railway department!"

Everyone looked at each other and started looking for people they were familiar with.

After a while, someone finally raised his hand.

"I worked in the railway department before!"

"I have also been a railroad worker!"

"I'm in the measurement department, can it work?"

"..."

Several people raised their hands to explain their past work department.

Lu Yuan nodded: "Okay, all of you come here! The other people go back and rest first, Xiaoshan, you and my mother go and prepare the food! Simmer some hot soup later, eat first!"

Xiaoshan glanced at Lu Yuan in a slightly surprised way: "I have dinner so early?"

"Yeah! I thought of an idea. Let's discuss it for a meeting! Let's end today's work! Let's continue tomorrow!"

After explaining the matter, Lu Yuan brought a few main deputy management team leaders and the team members who had worked in the railway department to the tent.

Taking out his few remaining filter cigarettes, Lu Yuan really hated why he didn’t buy more reusable cigarette holders. He was basically not addicted to cigarettes at that time, but since he arrived in the No. 5 area, his Smoking cravings began to slowly increase, but there were not many cigarettes left in his hand, and Lu Yuan could only take out a little when it was critical.Taking a cigarette and scattered around, Lu Yuan sat down and looked at the crowd.

"How do you feel about the progress of this work recently?" Lu Yuan asked nonsense first.

Everyone answered in unison "not very good".

Lu Yuan nodded, and then continued: "Now the main resistance to our work is this damn snow! I observed it when I came just now, and basically no group can advance fifty meters in one go, even if it is. After advancing fifty meters, the road that was just cleared was also covered with snow!"

After taking a deep cigarette, Lu Yuan continued: "So, we have to change our working mindset. Since the blizzard is not level, let's dig a tunnel below, just like laying a railway to pass through a mountain! "

Zhou Tong didn't speak, because Lu Yuan only told him about this once, and the others had been working, so after hearing what Lu Yuan said, they were a little surprised.

After smoking a few cigarettes, Du Heng silently put down the cigarette and said, "Didn't we experiment before? Although the thickness of the snow is quite thick, it is too light and thin. If you dig a tunnel underneath, it may collapse!"

The rest of the people also nodded one after another.

"Yes, it's too dangerous. There are layers of ice and snow inside. The weight is different. It doesn't take much effort to excavate, but the safety is not guaranteed!"

"Yes, the snow layer is mixed with the ice layer, but the weight is not light. If you rush to excavate, it may cause the entire tunnel to collapse!"

"There is not much time left for us. In case it collapses, we will have to do it again at that time, it's too much trouble!"

"..."

Everyone expressed their opinions, and basically they did not agree with the construction of the tunnel, but there was no way to solve the key problem.

In the end, the whole conference room fell into silence, and everyone was not very optimistic about digging a tunnel. After all, someone had just died, and now they are taking risks, so everyone resisted this matter.

Seeing that the work was not going very smoothly, Lu Yuan was a little wondering how to proceed.

Thick smoke billowed in the tent and cigarette butts on the ground. Everyone bowed their heads and dared not look directly at Lu Yuan.

After a while, the sound of "hiccup creak" stepping on snow came from outside the tent.

"Cough cough cough... what are you doing? There is such a big smell of smoke in the house!"

A Korean voice came in, and the door curtain was opened for an instant, and suddenly smoke began to continue to blow out.

At this time, everyone was blown by the cold wind and began to regain their consciousness, one by one, huddled up in their seats.

"How is it with sister Han Wen? How is the measurement?"

Lu Yuan quickly asked when he saw Han Wen.

Hangeul covered his nose and mouth with his hands and coughed twice and said, "Thanks to Xiao Han, otherwise, we can't measure it at all!"

As he said, Hangul pointed to Kong Hanting behind him.

The other party's face was flushed red from the cold, and he gently took off his gloves, and then took out a kraft paper notebook from the pocket of his clothes after breathing twice in his hands.

"It has been measured. The thickness of the snow is basically maintained at about three meters. In some places, there are subsidence areas, so the thickness of the snow may be deeper! This is the result of our measurement just now, Brother Lu, look! "

Lu Yuan nodded, took the notebook and looked at it for a while, then nodded.

"Well, thank you! Has the location of the collapsed area been ascertained? Can I find other paths to pass it?"

"Yes! But it takes a long detour!"

"Then it's okay! By the way, how far to go around, so I can calculate it accurately?"

Kong Hanting was just about to agree, but felt that she was not a professional person, so she turned her head and looked at Korean.

The opponent nodded at him.

"Forget it, the distance around is not very far, I have been here once before, and I know a little bit about the buildings in it!"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

"Okay! If that's the case, then start construction according to this plan, Sister Han Wen, let's talk about your plan!"

Everyone immediately turned their eyes to Hang Wen, and she was not stage fright, and then started talking.

While talking, she put forward her plan on the table.

"This is my initial idea, but a lot of water is needed. The surrounding tunnel can be reinforced with water to prevent landslides. Moreover, as long as there is no heavy object on it, there will be basically no problem, and for To ensure our safety, I also plan to build a shelter every 100 meters away. The structure is basically similar to the structure of an Eskimo igloo!"

Lu Yuan didn't speak until Han Wen told all the plans.

"How do you think about this plan?"

Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that there was a lot more confidence than before.

However, there were still not a few people who expressed their opinions. Lu Yuan added again after seeing it: "Don't forget, this task is about our lives. If it can't be completed, we won't be able to go back by then!"

Zhou Tong also persuaded him: "Yes! Don't forget, everyone, we have issued a military order, but we really can't go back if we don't finish it! If we still follow the previous method, when do you think we can go back?"

"Okay! I agree to dig a tunnel!"

"I agree!"

"Then dig a tunnel!"

"..."

Finally, everyone nodded in agreement.

Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, in that case, we must start construction as soon as possible! Take a good rest tonight, and officially start construction tomorrow morning!"

When everyone dispersed, Lu Yuan looked at Kong Hanting and found that she was still nervous.

"Okay, I have sister Han Wen to help you, surely no problem! Just do it with confidence and boldness!"

"But... just in case I mess up..."

Lu Yuan smiled: "No one can succeed at once! Don't worry about it! Everyone believes in you!"

Kong Hanting finally nodded: "Okay, I must live up to your expectations!"

"not me!"

Lu Yuan stretched out his finger and shook his head: "This is the expectation of everyone in the third and seventh groups!"A trace of loneliness flashed through Kong Hanting's eyes, and finally left the tent.

Seeing Kong Hanting's back, Han Wen couldn't help but stepped forward and patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder: "Lu Yuan, it seems that you have a good relationship with a woman!"

"Sister Han Wen, don't talk nonsense! What a good relationship with a woman!"

"Hehe, just pretend to be confused, so you don't know that Xiaokong is interesting to you!"

Lu Yuan scratched his head: "Don't talk nonsense about this, I already have Xiaoshan, and our relationship is very good! We are planning to have children!"

After speaking, Lu Yuan saw a trace of worry flashing in Han Wen's eyes, and immediately realized that he had just said the wrong thing.

"Ahem, so what, don't let Xiaoshan know about this, otherwise she will definitely not spare me!"

Han Wen just nodded slightly, didn't say anything, turned and left the tent.

"Oh! This mouth!"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but want to slap his own mouth twice. He was always good, but he would make such a low-level mistake. Now even if he wants to find Hangeul's son, there is no way, they don't even have the ability to protect themselves. Not to mention going to a place with millions of people to find someone, it is definitely a very difficult thing.

In the evening, Lu Yuan once again confirmed the construction plan with Han Wen, and also specially inspected the site with Kong Hanting.

Early the next morning, the first thing everyone woke up was to gather and prepare for the day's work.

Lu Yuan explained the construction plan in detail, and everyone nodded one after another.

Fortunately, it’s all ice and snow here, not cement and rocks, so the construction progress is very fast. It took only one morning to excavate a tunnel about two hundred meters long. Lu Yuan took some people. The buckets pour water around to prevent ice and snow from collapsing the tunnel,

The benefits of the large number of people are immediately reflected, and the speed of everyone’s work has also become quite fast. It was originally expected that it would take three days to dig through, but as everyone became more and more skilled, the speed of tunnel excavation It became even faster, and it took less than three days to complete all the projects, and even the safe room with a section of one hundred meters was ready.

The ice and snow come with some light and basically don't need fire lighting, which also keeps the temperature in the tunnel at a relatively comfortable point without melting.

Everyone brought their belongings into the tunnel, because the temperature inside the tunnel was even much higher than the temperature of the tent outside, so everyone was more willing to stay in the tunnel.

Finally, as the project progressed, the last block of ice was cut open.

With a loud noise, a piece of ice weighing tens of tons fell directly outside.

A large number of snowflakes splashed up and the cave made a "rumbling" sound, making everyone panic, for fear that the tunnel would be collapsed by the collapse of this ice block.

Fortunately, the structure of the final tunnel was strong enough, but there was no more movement after a sound on the ground nearby.

"Huh! It's finally here!"

Lu Yuan sighed for a long time, then turned on his own headlight to shine outside.

"Here we are! Sister Han Wen, come and check if we need to maintain it?"

Hangeul squeezed in from behind and looked outside.

I saw a huge fan with a diameter of more than two hundred meters in the open valley was completely covered by ice and snow. Because of its huge size, the snow was falling continuously, and it did not directly submerge the fan. The outline of the fan can be seen vaguely above.

After Han Wen took a bright flashlight and irradiated it all around, he stepped on his skis and cautiously rowed forward, with a rope tied behind him. Lu Yuan and the others were holding on tightly, with their eyes like torches.

After a short while, a Korean voice came from a distance.

"Sure it is the vent we need to maintain!"
