The road ahead is broken. To be more precise, it is being repaired.
This road is blocked!
Although the news brought by Captain Liu was not a bolt from the blue, it was still a slap in the face, making Tong Guanfeng's already upset mood even worse.
This provincial road originally leads to an urban outer ring road. If you continue along that outer ring road, you can reach another national highway, and there is also a highway nearby. But looking at the weather, it must be
It is closed, but the condition of the national highway is definitely better, and generally there will be no problems.
Now that the provincial road is broken, we can only take a detour from other roads. The most important thing is that we don't know whether other roads can lead to the originally planned national highway.
Tong Guanfeng glanced at the already dark night sky. The falling snowflakes continued to fall, and the snow on the ground was also increasing little by little. Judging from the current situation, the snow will not stop for a while. If he waits until dawn before leaving,
, I'm afraid the road will be more difficult.
"Is there any other way?" Tong Guanfeng asked anxiously.
Captain Liu nodded: "I looked at the construction signs and asked nearby residents. They said there is a county road that can bypass the construction section, but this county road is basically a rural road and is in disrepair.
The road conditions may be slightly worse, but there are no height-limiting poles, so our transport vehicles can pass!"
Tong Guanfeng thought about it for a while and found that there was actually no other way. Not to mention that there was not enough place nearby for them to rest. Even if there were, the weather would not be as snowy as sunny as he thought.
"Then take the county road!" Tong Guanfeng frowned and said, "I'll inform Xiao Zhou and let him eat first and then go ahead to check the road conditions!"
Then Tong Guanfeng dialed Xiao Zhou's phone: "Xiao Zhou, you eat immediately, and then go to the county road ahead to check the road conditions. The convoy will be divided into two groups and move forward!"
"Okay, Vice President Tong!" Xiao Zhou said a few words to the driver on the other end of the phone and then hung up.
"Captain Liu, the team will eat in batches. After eating, they will be ready to hit the road. All vehicles must be warned to pay attention to safety and must not be careless!"
Although the five-kilometer journey is not far, the team is also cautious when driving on a snow-covered road, not daring to relax at all.
When Tong Guanfeng arrived at the roadside restaurant with the first convoy, Xiao Zhou had already set off in an off-road vehicle. In the heavy snow, only two ruts could be seen disappearing into the distance on the road.
Walking into this restaurant, which is the only one within two or three kilometers, the conditions here are indeed not as good as the previous ones. The open space in front of the door can only accommodate seven or eight cars. There are only four or five tables in the restaurant.
The two waiters were so busy that they could even hear the boss yelling in the backyard.
"Bosses, please wait a moment, the food will be here soon!" The waiter hurriedly came to say hello with several pots of hot water.
Tong Guanfeng did not sit down, other workers and drivers were standing there.
"Each of you find a place to sit down and wait a while to eat quickly. The group behind is still waiting to make room!" Tong Guanfeng pointed to the tables and chairs around him and said.
After hearing what Tong Guanfeng said, the workers sat down in groups.
"Vice President Tong, please sit down too!" A worker boldly greeted Tong Guanfeng.
Tong Guanfeng smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay!"
Although he said this, Tong Guanfeng still stood in front of the hotel window and looked at the heavy snow outside. The snow in the hotel yard should have been cleared before, but after such a little effort, there was still a depth of nearly ten centimeters. It is conceivable that
I know the snow on the road will be deeper in the future.
"Thankfully we got off the highway, otherwise it would be difficult to get out in such heavy snow!" The drivers whispered. Being stuck on the highway in heavy snow would be really frustrating.
.
Captain Liu is still very experienced. Although the restaurant he chose is smaller, he is still very agile. In a short time, the food was served, four vegetarian dishes, four meat dishes and a large bucket of rice. This is Fuhai Group
Work meals for outings.
The drivers all devoured their food. They knew that tonight was going to be a difficult night. When they arrived just now, Captain Liu told them that they would be traveling at night tonight.
Walking at night in snowy conditions not only tests the drivers’ skills, but also tests their physical strength and energy.
Tong Guanfeng had no choice but to make this decision. After all, the equipment had been delayed on the road for a long time. It was originally planned to arrive at Longbin in three days at most, but now it seems that it cannot be reached in four or five days. The shipyard is still waiting for the right
The equipment is debugged and then installed, all of which takes time.
Now time is the greatest luxury when building the Blue Whale.
According to the news reported by Zhang Dadong again, the National Geological Survey has begun to prepare a feasibility report on organizing a survey of combustible ice in the South China Sea. This time, many domestic scientific research institutes are participating, and the Blue Whale is an indispensable and important one.
First, once the Blue Whale construction period is delayed, all scientific research work will come to a standstill, and the huge losses will be immeasurable.
Half an hour later, the first group of drivers had finished their meal. After a short rest, they all got on the bus and waited for news of the truck ahead. The remaining vehicles and drivers, led by Captain Liu, also arrived at the hotel at this time.
The second round of dining began.
Soon, Xiao Zhou, who was responsible for exploring the road conditions, received the news that the road ahead was passable, but there were many side roads, and you would go wrong if you were not careful. They would be back to pick up the convoy soon.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Tong Guanfeng saw the off-road vehicle approaching slowly in the snow. Even though it had superior performance, it did not dare to make any reckless moves.
"Vice President Tong, we are back!" Xiao Zhou's head was covered with water drops from falling snow.
"You've had a hard time on the road, how's it going?" Tong Guanfeng asked quickly.
"There are not many people on the road, and the width is okay. There are some street trees that affect it a little, but it's not a big problem. It's just that the road has too many forks. We almost went wrong several times, and there are no signboards along the way!"
Xiao Zhou took a sip of hot water and preached.
"How's the snow level?" Captain Liu finished his meal and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"The snow is probably this thick, and the road is very slippery, but there shouldn't be much problem with the transport truck!" Xiao Zhoubi drew a picture.
Since there are no problems, let's go.
By the time the latter group of drivers finished their meal, the transport truck waiting on the road was already covered with a thick layer of falling snow, and the melted water droplets on the windshield dripped into icicles.
"Let's go!" With a shout, the convoy moved forward slowly again. This time there was no rest time stated. Everyone was ready for a long-term battle.
