Chapter 298 A mountain has four seasons

"Wife, be obedient, you can stay in the county town for two days first. This rescue is not like the last time we went to Shuanghu No Man's Area to save people. This rescue operation was a landslide, and it was very dangerous there. I don't want you to encounter any danger." Taking advantage of the lack of supplies, Liu Mo'ang began to comfort Chu Qian.

"I want to follow you because of danger. You are afraid that I will encounter danger, and I am afraid that you will encounter danger!" Chu Qian looked at her boyfriend with her cheeks puffed and looked firmly.

Liu Mo'ang was quite moved, but he still said, "No! I am a man with thick skin and rough flesh. Why do you, a delicate girl, go to that kind of place? That place is not suitable for a lady like you, really!"

"If you say this, I will sue you for discrimination!" Chu Qian made a face, "Liu Mo'ang, I'll tell you that even if you tell the sky, I will go with you. I'm worried about the danger you encounter, so I'll take care of you by your side." As he said that, Chu Qian raised her head proudly.

"But you go with me, what should I do if the dumplings?"

"What else can I do? Just fly over. Isn't it a pass from here to Motuo? The pass is only 4,002 at an altitude, not as high as our inn, and dumplings can fly over."

Well, this reason is extremely powerful. Look up at the dumplings flying in the sky - the dumplings were released before entering the county town. When looking at their girlfriend's firm eyes, Liu Mo'ang could only sigh and said, "Okay! But you must be careful when you get there! I will definitely participate in the rescue after I get there. You either stay in the car or stay away from the scene. I don't want to see any problems with you again."

Chu Qian smiled happily, "Don't worry, husband, I will definitely be good and will never cause trouble for you."

The supplies were quickly loaded, mostly with medicines and medical equipment for first aid. They were not heavy, and they were all loaded into waterproof bags and fixed on the luggage rack on the roof. There was a big guy named Bai Lion in the back seat, so basically I couldn't think of putting anything else.

Fortunately, most firefighters from the fire rescue team have already taken other vehicles to Motuo, so Liu Mo'ang and Wan Lei's cars don't need to attract more people.

However, Liu Mo'ang still put some tools such as shovels, picks, crowbars and other tools in the trunk. Then he pulled a Tibetan man in his thirties into the car. The two cars returned to the Zhamu Bridge and crossed the Palong Zangbu River and drove along the Zhamo Highway to the south.

The Tibetan man who was following was named Solang Ciren, a policeman from the county public security bureau. His hometown is in Beibeng Township and he is very familiar with it there.

"Brother Solang, can you tell me about the mine where the disaster occurred this time?" The road from Bomi to Galongla Tunnel is about twenty kilometers, but it is all cement roads and is easy to walk on, so Liu Mo'ang started chatting with Solang Tsering, who was sitting in the passenger seat while driving.

Solang Tsering is 31 years old. He nodded and said, "I am not very familiar with that mine. That mine is a gold mine of xxx Mining Company. It is in the mountains southeast of the Beibeng Township Government, and it looks more than ten kilometers away from the Township Government's headquarters. It was only started three years ago. It is said that more than 100 people work in that mine. However, I have never been to that mine, and I only know that the scale of that mine is not very large."

Chu Qian, who was sitting in the back seat, asked curiously: "Brother Solang, isn't the entire Medog a huge landscape area? How can mining be allowed in such a place? Will this not pollute the scenic area environment? Moreover, the transportation conditions to Modog are so poor that mining there, it seems that this mineral product is not very lucky to come out, right?"

Solang Tsering shrugged and said, "Who can tell me this? After all, it is a gold mine, and it is said to be of high quality. In addition, it is in a mountain, almost isolated area, and it will open. As for mineral products, if they were really not transported in the past, it would be difficult to transport the equipment for mining in. But wasn't the Zamo Highway repaired? These conditions that were almost impossible to achieve before are now met."

Liu Mo'ang and Chu Qian were speechless.

In the face of economic development, anything can give way. After all, this is a high-grade gold mine. Compared with the high added value of the gold mine, pollution is nothing. Coupled with the improvement of transportation conditions, this allows mining to meet all the conditions.

Although the plateau is harsh in natural conditions, it is undeniable that the plateau is a huge treasure house. The Himalayan orogenic movement that occurred tens of millions of years ago made the mountains of the plateau contain huge amounts of minerals. Especially those precious metal mines that are cherished in other areas are numerous on the plateau.

In the past, it was impossible to mine because of insufficient mining conditions. However, with the rapid development of the economy and the rapid improvement of science and technology, mining on the plateau has become a norm. Many domestic mining companies have set their sights on this huge resource treasure house.

Group companies including China Gold, Shandong Gold, and Zijin Mining, which operate domestic precious metal mining Niu Er, have branches in the plateau. Even Liu Mo'ang's future father-in-law Dexin Group has also made a splash in the precious metal mining sector on the plateau, and the benefits are quite good.

In the precious metals industry, as long as you find a mine with a high enough grade and low mining difficulty, you can wait to collect the money.

Others can only obtain two or three grams of gold if they mine one ton of gold ore. If you mine one ton of gold ore, you can obtain ten or eight grams or even more gold if you don’t make money?

Although the traffic conditions in Motuo are extremely harsh, they cannot withstand the high-grade gold mine here! Compared to an ultra-high-grade gold mine that may be as high as 10g/T or even 20g/T, it is a big deal. As long as you can run a car, a mining company will dare to come in and start a mine!

"It was raining a few days ago, and it rained heavily in the early morning yesterday. In addition, gold ore mining in the mines caused the mountain vegetation layer to be completely destroyed, which led to this landslide. Fortunately, more than half of the workers did not go into the pit because of the rain, otherwise they would have to be buried in this moment." Solang Tseren's tone was very heavy.

"Brother Solang, how many of the buried workers do you think can be rescued this time?"

Soran Tsering shook his head with a heavy expression, "I don't know. We can only do our best to rescue the mining workers now. Alas... I hope the scale of the landslide will not be too large, otherwise..."

Solang Tsering didn't finish his words, but the four people in the car understood what he meant.

Wang Hongtao in the back seat also said: "When I was in Nanyun, I participated in several landslide rescue operations, but the result... was not very satisfactory. Once such a disaster occurs, it would be fine if no one is below. Once there is someone, the possibility of survival is very small."

Chu Qian remembered the huge landslide she saw in Yi Gong before, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.

The so-called mudslides, landslides, and landslides are just a few words in the literal sense. It is difficult for people who have never seen such a disaster with their own eyes to understand what this geological disaster represents.

Just like a landslide or a landslide, a mountain with a relative height of hundreds or even thousands of meters collapsed a whole hillside in a "whistle". Millions or even tens of millions of cubic meters of rocks collapsed. What else can survive?

You should know that only more than 16 million cubic meters of concrete were used to build the Three Gorges Dam, and the number of stones that collapsed on a slightly larger landslide can top the Three Gorges Dam!

Not to mention the earth-shaking impact brought by the extremely high speed during a landslide!

So, this kind of geological disaster is very terrifying!

The atmosphere inside the car was a bit dull. In this atmosphere, the car finally climbed all the way to the Galongla Tunnel. In addition to 9K, there are some bad roads near 14K due to winter avalanches. The road conditions on other sections are really good. 9K, 14K is the special name for the Zamo Highway section, which is about 9 kilometers, 14 kilometers or 9 trains, and 14 trains. This is explained by Solang Tsering.

This short journey of more than 20 kilometers allowed Liu Mo'ang and Chu Qian, who had never been here, to experience the changes from the subtropical climate to the warm and semi-humid climate of the plateau to the cold and humid climate of the plateau. The vegetation along the way also transitioned from coniferous forests to alpine meadows.

This is the real mountain with four seasons!

She was wearing single clothes and pants at the foot of the mountain, but when she arrived at the entrance of the tunnel, if she hadn't been sitting in the car, everyone would have to change into down jackets.

It is summer now, and the snow at the entrance of the tunnel has melted. It is only four months from June to September every year that there is no snow or ice.

Solang Tsering said: "The famous Galongla Tunnel ahead, after passing this tunnel, you will enter Motuo. Xiao Liu, pay attention to the point when entering the tunnel. The north entrance of this tunnel is 3,700, and the south entrance is 3,400. The altitude of the 3,310-meter-long tunnel has been reduced by nearly 300 meters, and the slope has reached 4%. Therefore, you must pay attention to the speed when driving. This tunnel is a big downhill from here!"

"I understand!" Liu Mo'ang responded and slightly lowered the vehicle speed. From 24K to the north entrance of the tunnel was not a highway, but a dirt road...

After entering the tunnel and carefully controlling the speed of the vehicle, I drove through this famous tunnel, and it was a vast green area, which was completely different from the north of the mountain. And the temperature seemed to have risen a lot.

"Welcome to the isolated island of the plateau, Modo! This is also my hometown." Solang Tsering said with a smile, "Does it feel very different? That's right, because this is Modo!"

Several people showed smiles on their faces.

Indeed, as Solang Tsering said, the feeling of mountains and mountains is really different. The fundamental reason for this situation is the terrain here.

The Motuo County is located on the banks of the Yajiang River. The humid and hot Indian Ocean warm and humid airflow can rush straight to this place along the Yajiang Valley without any obstacles. However, because the tall Himalayas are blocked to the west of the Yajiang River and the same tall Gangrigabu Mountains are blocked to the north, the warm and humid airflow can only go north along the narrow Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon.

The warm and humid air flow north of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon can bring a lot of precipitation to Bayi, Yalong and even the Yigong side where Liu Mo'ang and others had just been to before. It is conceivable how much warm and humid air flow will Motuo, who is located in the lower reaches of the Ya River?

The Galongla Mountain where the Galongla Tunnel is located is a peak belonging to the Gangrigabu Mountains. It is naturally not surprising that the climate difference between the south and north of the mountain is so huge!
