The blizzard lasted for more than half an hour and then began to gradually become smaller.
This snowfall is so disturbing.
Because the environment is still very bad.
Li Min is full of uncertainty about the way forward.
Finally, the snow stopped and the whole world became white.
Every place was covered with white snow, and everything on the ground was shapeless.
White flowers are scattered in the wind. The breeze blows, and from time to time there are large flakes of snow flying in the air, twinkling.
The trees were covered with snow, with layers of thick snow covering them, and the small branches on the sides were completely weighed down by the snow.
Everything around was covered with a thick layer of white snow, which gradually drifted away on the earth.
The sky gradually brightened up, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds and penetrated into everyone's heart.
At this time, everyone's hearts were filled with warmth.
And the thick white snow flutters into people's cheeks from time to time, and the cold feeling makes it difficult to breathe. A thick layer of white snow on the hills in the distance seems to have whitened the paint and washed nature innocently.
There is a real problem now, that is, the current situation is not optimistic.
A large amount of snow accumulated on the road ahead of the convoy, making the entire road more and more difficult to walk.
But fortunately, the visibility has become extremely high, so some unnecessary dangers can be avoided.
This is good news for Li Min.
Apparently his luck wasn't too bad.
Then Li Min gave the order.
Get everyone ready to go.
In fact, we are still some distance away from our destination.
But when everyone set out with high expectations, they encountered a problem.
When the car travels a distance of about 1km.
Suddenly, we were blocked by a river. The river was completely covered with ice. It was so thick that we didn’t know how thick the ice was.
At this time, the team did not dare to act rashly.
Because no one knows whether the ice of this river can bear the weight of the chariot.
If it cannot bear the weight of the chariot, everyone may fall into the glacier.
In this environment, if you fall into the glacier, it will be a test for your life.
What's worse, lives will be lost.
This is a severe test for everyone. But how can we pass this ice surface?
The problem came to Li Min again.
He convened everyone for discussion. At this time, Di Renjie first said: "Sir, it's better for us to cross the river first. As for the chariots, we will cross the river later to reach our destination. You also know that the distance is not too far."
This is a very good plan.
Others agreed.
But Li Min said: "The disadvantage is that the road ahead is long and the dangers are unknown. If someone is in danger because of this, what should we do?"
Indeed, it is extremely cold weather at this time, and the temperature outside has reached below minus 50 degrees. If you can be exposed to this weather for too long, you may die here.
What's more, you will encounter some ferocious wild animals.
If that's the case, what should we do?
Can they fight them off?
What if there were more of them?
Obviously, this won't work.
Therefore, Li Min's worries are not unreasonable.
"Then what should we do? Should we forcefully cross the river?"
Di Renjie asked again.
At this time, Li Min thought for a while and then said: "You can't force it! I have this idea. But I need more support. Does anyone among you know how to test the thickness of the ice surface? Is anyone able to measure the thickness of this ice? The thickness of the surface?”
Li Min said this.
At this time someone stood up.
"I can! I grew up in the north. We often encounter severe cold in winter there. And when it gets severe, the ice will freeze. Sometimes the thickness of the ice can even reach more than a foot! "
"Okay, go and test the thickness of the ice near here. Give me a detailed report and bring a few more people with you."
"Yes! Sir!" The man took several people with him to measure the thickness of the ice surface.
The reason why Li Min did this is very simple.
Then let someone calculate how thick the ice is needed for the chariot to cross the ice.
If it's too thin, it won't go through.
Think of another way.
If it can pass when it reaches a certain thickness, then they will pass!
"Sir, the purpose of doing this is to confirm whether you can pass?" Di Renjie said.
"Yes, that's the case. If it can be passed, only one person is allowed on each chariot, and no more than two people are allowed on it."
Li Min said this to ensure everyone's safety, because if the chariot had an accident and fell into the river, more people would be sacrificed. If there is only one driver on it, then everyone will do nothing to him. Rescue is also relatively easy.
That's why Li Min said this, and everyone understood.
"Oh I see!"
"Okay, Di Renjie, you are responsible for coordinating it and asking them to measure quickly! Tell me the results after the measurement comes back!"
"Yes, sir!" Di Renjie then ran to coordinate.
As for those people just now carrying tools.
Went down to the ice to measure.
But Li Min has more important things to do.
That was to find out some principles, so he picked up the phone and dialed a number.
And gave him a question.
If a chariot weighs 10 tons and wants to pass through a river full of ice, what is the minimum thickness of the ice for the chariot to pass smoothly?
Li Min also told him the contact area between the wheels on the chariot and the ground.
Next, he was waiting there.
About five minutes later.
The call came.
"what's the result?"
"Sir, the results are out."
Soon Li Min got the result.
Fortunately, the width of this river is not very wide. The widest is only fifty meters, and the narrowest is only about five meters.
"Tell me, what's the result?"
"The result is that the thickness of the ice surface must be greater than one meter to safely pass through. If it is a crawler, as long as it does not damage the ice surface, 60 centimeters is fine! Because the contact area is larger, the pressure on the unit ice surface is smaller!
"
"Okay, I get it!"
At this time, Li Min was not feeling well.
Because the next measurement of the thickness of the ice surface will rarely be as thick as thirty or fifty centimeters.
If this was the case, the chariot might not be able to pass, but it was not impossible. He was thinking that there must be other ways to pass.
But we still have to wait for the person's measurement results to come back before we can finally make a decision. If it's larger than one meter, then he can go directly. If it's smaller than this number, he has to think about it carefully.
After waiting for about half an hour, Di Renjie informed Li Min of the test results.
"Sir, the thickness of this ice surface is only between 30 and 50cm, and the thickest part may exceed 60cm! But it's still very little."
When Li Min heard this, he knew that it was impossible to pass.
So, he said: "Okay, I get it!"
At this time Di Renjie asked: "Can we pass?"
"If you can't pass it, it must be at least one meter thick!" Li Min said.
"Can't pass? What should I do? Should I take a detour?"
Di Renjie asked again.
Li Min thought about this for a while and looked at the forest behind him.
An idea flashed in my mind.
"Go and cut down the wood and lay it across the ice. Make a flat surface and lay it across the ice. The surface area should be large, and then let the chariots pass through one by one."
Li Min's plan is brilliant. Because a large amount of wood can increase the contact area, even if the thickness of the ice surface is less than 1m.
But because the contact area is large enough, and the wood has a certain buoyancy.
Therefore, when the chariot enters the wood, even if the ice breaks, the wood will still provide a certain amount of buoyancy to support the chariot.
But this plane has to be huge.
Otherwise, it may sink at any time.
At this time, Di Renjie said: "Sir, I looked at this ice surface and checked that the narrowest one is only about 5 meters. If we want to pass, I suggest that we cut down some large trees with a length of more than ten meters and set them up on the ice.
On both sides of the river, we can add more on the ice, lay some more wood underneath, and fix it, and then our chariot can pass through! It must be foolproof there."
After Di Renjie finished speaking, Li Min showed a satisfied expression.
Because his plan is the best.
"Very good. Your plan is feasible, so just follow your plan!"
It is true that if you want to set up too much wood on a wide side, it will be very difficult and very dangerous for the chariot, but if you want to cross the entire river through trees, then the soil on both sides of the river
Will share some of the force.
This time makes the tank safer.
"Yes! Sir, then I will do it!"
Just as he was told, Di Renjie and his people cut down a large amount of forest wood.
And remove excess branches from the surface of the wood.
It was straddled on both sides of the river manually, and then a large amount of wood was laid under the wood on the ice as support. This also ensured that the wood across the sides would not be broken due to the passage of the chariot.
.
By the time I finished doing this, another two hours had passed.
This trip was truly ill-fated. Who would have known? There was supposed to be a bridge here, but the bad weather prevented the bridge from even being built.
It was also because of the weather that the road was not constructed.
Wang Xuance expressed great guilt for this.
But Li Min didn't accept his guilt.
Because this is an unexpected situation.
When everything was ready, the chariot slowly drove towards their temporary wooden bridge.
Everyone's heart was hanging, for fear that the chariot would not be able to pass.
If the chariot really couldn't pass, the consequences would be serious, but Li Min didn't care at all because he knew that this method was definitely feasible.
Sure enough, after the first chariot passed smoothly, the chariots behind it also passed.
This time it was really a near miss.
This time, relying on everyone's wisdom, we finally completed the crossing.
When everyone was crossing the river, Wang Xuance called.
Li Min picked up.
"What's wrong? Wang Xuance!"
Wang Xuance said very guiltily: "Sir, I forgot to tell you that there is a river on the road you passed. Now I have someone pick you up. You can wait by the river. This time it is my fault. It was originally
Those who want to build a bridge will never be able to build it. I feel guilty for putting you in danger this time. Sir, please wait, my people are coming soon."
"We have crossed the river." Li Min said.
In fact, Li Min originally wanted to take the helicopter this time, but he didn't take it later.
Because the weather had exceeded his imagination, he came by chariot.
I don't want to encounter something like this while riding in a chariot.
This made Li Min feel a little uncomfortable.
But this is already the case.
That's it.
All problems have been solved.
A smooth journey.
"Wang Xuance, we have crossed the river!"
Li Min said.
"Sir? How...how did you cross the river?"
"At that time, I will ask Di Renjie to sort out a plan, which can be used as training to teach everyone so that everyone can come up with ways to deal with such problems when they encounter such problems."
Li Min said again.
"Is that so? That's great! Our convoy is already moving, and we may meet!" Wang Xuance said again.
"Okay, let's meet up and talk about it later!"
"Yes, sir!"
Li Min hung up the phone.
Then he said to Di Renjie: "Go and sort out what happened today, write down the difficulties you encountered and how we should solve them. I hope it will give people in the future a reference and tell them not to panic when encountering such a thing."
.As long as you are calm enough, you will definitely be able to overcome difficulties!"
Li Min said so, Di Renjie said.
"If I didn't come with my husband this time, we wouldn't know how to deal with such a thing!"
He was telling the truth. If it weren't for Li Min, everyone might be confused.
Everyone admired Li Min's thinking very much.
And Li Min's way of thinking is also different from everyone else.
Like dealing with things.
When he encounters a problem, he first considers how to deal with it.
Then you will come up with one, two, three, and four.
Unlike some people, when something happens, no matter what, they first blame. After blaming, the best time to deal with the matter has passed.
This is of no help to the matter itself.
There is no way to solve the problem.
Therefore, Li Min's way of doing things is completely textbook-like.
Everyone admires the way he does things.
I am also willing to listen to his opinions.
Even his solution is the best, there is no other.
Just now Di Renjie also made suggestions on his plan.
Because he knew the narrowest width of the river, but Li Min didn't know. If Li Min knew, he would definitely do it his way.
"Okay, go ahead and deal with it. Write it down, sort it out, send it to the office, and then write it into a book for more people to read."
Li Min said again.
"Sir, understand! Where is Wang Xuance?"
"Wang Xuance has already come here with others. When the time comes, we will meet somewhere!"
"Okay, I get it! I'll have someone sort it out now and show it to my husband!"
"No, just come. It's not a big deal."
Li Min said again.
Now he only pays attention to big things and ignores small things. Small things should be taken care of by everyone, otherwise a hundred of them will not be enough.
