Section Six: Sincerity

  The Gobi Plateau has no shortage of snow, but it can never retain the snow. The frozen land that has been exposed to sunlight for a long time presents a cracked state, which often gives people a shocking feeling.

  The temperature under the sun was still close to 10 degrees, but in the blink of an eye, the sky began to snow and the temperature plummeted to near 0 degrees. The huge temperature difference is a unique feature of the Gobi Desert, where dryness and coldness invade each other, and few organisms and green plants can survive for long in this environment.

  "Zhao Zhong, catch!"

  Throwing the snow tent down from the car, Xu De turned around and picked up the supporting steel frame of the tent. Although Xu De was already over 40 years old, it cannot be denied that his physical strength was above Zhao Zhong's. Living in the Gobi Desert for a long time and struggling with the cruel natural world, the blood of the plateau men was undoubtedly revealed on Xu De's body.

  Perhaps the same thing was easy for Xu De to do, but when Zhao Zhong caught the snow-covered tent under the car, his body sank. It wasn't because of the weight, but because the cold had pulled out the aching muscles and bones.

  "Haha, Zhao Zhong, you still need a lot of practice!"

  "Monitor, how can I compare with you? Who else in the troops is more familiar with the snowy and cold climate than you?"

  Whether it's been half a year since entering the troops or as a racing driver, Zhao Zhong will never lack exercise for his body, but there is still a difference in physical adaptability and training methods. Unlike ordinary people who exercise to enhance their physical fitness, high-altitude people exercise to enhance their body's endurance, that is, to increase their body's dullness and reduce the possibility of injury.

  "Never mind about this, let's go set up our tent behind that pile of rocks over there."

  He jumped down from the car with ease, and the steel frame on his shoulder didn't hinder his movements at all.

  Looking in the direction that Xu De was walking towards, Zhao Zhong was quite surprised. There wasn't any stone pile there, only a heap of scattered stones about 100 meters away.

  "Rock piles, where are rock piles?"

  Shouldering the bundled snow tent, Zhao Zhong caught up with Xu De, but he was somewhat perplexed.

  "What? You don't think that looks like a stone pile? Although there's no scientific basis for it, the fact that such a pile of rubble can survive in the wind and snow means that it naturally has its own hidden perfect mechanics. Of course, to us plateau men, that's just God's gift."

  "Principle of Mechanics?"

  Looking at the stone pile pointed by Xu De and his own guess, Zhao Zhong was somewhat at a loss for words. Mechanics principle? This may just be Xu De's comforting words to himself, how would he know anything about mechanics principles? But such a stone pile can actually survive on the vast and flat Gobi Desert, it is indeed unbelievable.

  "Hey, Monitor, don't you think that pile of rocks is a bit far from the car?"

  Unable to immediately accept He De's opinion, Zhao Zhong discovered a new problem. The two stayed behind to watch the car, which was the fate of being a warrior, how could they leave the car that was more important than their own life on the road so far away.

  As a long-term fighting auto corps on the Gobi Plateau, cars are both their weapons and comrades. No one would abandon their comrade in war; perhaps they can wait for rescue, but they absolutely cannot escape alone.

  "If we get too close to the car, once the blizzard blows it away, we'll be in trouble too. Now all we can do is hope it can make it through the storm on its own, and we'll refuel it well over there!"

  Xu De's words left Zhao Zhong speechless. Fortunately, he didn't turn his head back, and Zhao Zhong believed that Xu De must have had a silly expression on his face at this time.

  Nature is the highest god in front of humanity, this is a phrase that Xu De often says. Although the development of technology has brought many conveniences to humanity, in places where the natural environment is harsh and technological conditions are insufficient, humans still cannot avoid relying on nature.

  As he approached the pile of rubble, Zhao Zhongcai realized that it was actually quite large, covering an area of about ten square meters and a height of around eighty centimeters.

  "Oh! What a stroke of luck! Zhao Zhong, let's hurry up and set up camp!"

  Following the direction of the wind to the leeward side of the rubble heap, Xu De began to hammer steel pillars into the ground. Perhaps ordinary camping tents only use elastic steel wires as supports, but in order to survive on snowy ground, the steel pillars that provide mid-support absolutely cannot be lacking.

  A pile of rubble eighty centimeters high should be enough to block most of the updrafts coming from the ground, as long as the steel pillars are firmly in place, there is no danger of the tent collapsing. Small tents are essential emergency supplies for each vehicle in the transportation team, just like repair tools, they are valued by everyone.

  As Xu De was preparing to set up the tent, Zhao Zhong also began to open the tightly tied tent package. This wasn't his first time setting up this kind of snowfield tent, perhaps a bit crude, but enough for two people to use.

  "Ah, okay!"

  Watching Zhao Zhong skillfully open the tent bag, Xu De nodded in satisfaction.

  He was very clear that Zhao Zhong was sincere in his desire to temper himself in the army, although the army was a pure dye vat. No matter what kind of person came in with what attitude, they would all leave the army filled with pride from the bottom of their hearts. But whether they could continue to adhere to the nature of soldiers after leaving the army depended not only on the effect of their training in the army but also on the attitude with which they accepted the training when they entered the army.

  Troops are not a mythical soil, troops are also composed of living people, and they are also affected by social development and social needs.

  Without Xu De's reminder, Zhao Zhong began to set up the tent after opening the tent bag. Because Xu De had driven the steel column very deep, he also pulled the tent open as much as possible, trying to minimize the drop of the tent and reduce the windward area.

  Not only must the four corners of the tent be nailed to the ground, but also the edges of the tent must be carefully folded and fixed, not a bit sloppy.

  While Zhao Zhong was setting up the tent, a cold sky had already begun to drift with scattered snowflakes, which made Xu De look worriedly towards the direction of x392 sentry post. From the point where the nearby mountain color had disappeared from his eyes, perhaps the advancing speed of the blizzard had accelerated a lot.

  "I hope I didn't make a mistake, I hope Songba can get through this difficult time."

  Kneeling down on the ground, facing the direction of x392 sentry post, Xu De began to silently worship Kawagbo in his heart, hoping that the snow mountain god could bless the Tibetans to overcome their difficulties. Regardless of whether they were soldiers or not, this was the most sincere side of a highland man.
