Thousands of miles of mountains are just quantifiers.

Its peaks and ridges are stacked on top of each other, stretching to the left and right for more than 10,000 miles.

Relying on human power, even in a lifetime, it is difficult to measure how many mountains there are.

Not to mention that after winter, its area will double again.

From the direction of the depression, go all the way southeast.

After traveling for 400 kilometers, you will reach the entrance to the mountain, a peak that is approximately 2,000 meters high.

This peak is marked on the map as: Shishan.

It means that when walking from the depression to the mountains, the first mountain you encounter is also the nearest mountain!

Without the terrifying infrastructure power of modern civilization, there would be no need to think too much about the winding highway on the mountain.

There are not many options left for humans to climb over these mountains.

One: Build a plank road in the Ming Dynasty.

Send a suicide squad who have committed serious crimes, carrying expansion nails, planks and other supplies, to find a smoother road, and beat the planks into the mountain along the way to form a path forward.

This method was not widely used in ancient times.

Most of them were built after the mountains were included in the territory of the power and in order to better dispatch troops.

For example, Prime Minister Zhuge used this method when he left Qishan on the sixth day.

Second: Crossing mountains and ridges.

The key point of this method is a "turn". If you want to cross the mountain, you must explore the route step by step and climb to the top of the mountain first.

Then, after finding a good direction, we followed the mountain peak all the way down to the valley bottom.

Only in this way can we successfully cross a mountain.

Of course, this method also has many disadvantages.

As the saying goes, it's easier to go up a mountain than it is to go down.

Not to mention the steepness of the mountain road, just talking about the large amount of physical energy consumed when going up the mountain and the fact that the movements when going down the mountain are very different from normal walking are enough to be fatal.

Third: Retreat when faced with difficulties.

This retreat does not mean turning around when encountering a mountain, but walking around when encountering a mountain.

The shape of each mountain peak is not uniform, but one thing in common is that most mountains are conical in shape.

As long as you are willing to walk and are not afraid of the long distance, you can go around the outside of the mountain until you make a complete rotation and reach the other side of the mountain.

In addition to these three methods, there are many side tricks, but these are all methods of personal advancement and are completely useless for multi-person troops.

Therefore, there are only three types left for Sumo and others to travel.

Considering the time factor, the third type is naturally excluded.

After all, there are a total of nineteen mountains lying in between from the Shishan Mountain to the Origin Camp. If you want to take a detour, you have to go around to the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon.

And because there are only a few people in the lowlands, the idea of ​​building a plank road would be no less than killing people directly, so the first option was also ruled out.

Leave it to Somo and his party.

Only the second one remains.

When you encounter a mountain, climb over it, and when you encounter a ridge, climb over it. Walk in a straight line the whole way and head to the origin camp as quickly as possible!

“It’s really difficult to walk on this snowy road!”

After half a day of time travel, we successfully arrived at Shishanhou at early 4 p.m.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Sumo couldn't help but curse in his heart!

At present, before the climb over the mountain has completely begun, the 100-man convoy has already slightly injured three people.

These were all on the 400-mile journey because the obstacles on the ground were covered with snow, and because we were traveling too fast, we were tripped and fell.

If it weren't for the fact that the snow on top is quite soft, it can buffer and dissipate most of the kinetic energy.

Otherwise, these three people will not be slightly injured, but will directly reduce the number of members of the team!

"Let's set up camp and start cooking. After we finish eating, we will start climbing over Shishan Mountain."

"In addition, when the three injured people are waiting to go up the mountain, they should be arranged in the middle of the team. Even if our speed is slower, we must ensure that no more accidents happen!"

He ordered camp to be set up and cooked, and hinted to Feng Tianmin to go down and appease the mood of the team.

After everything was done, Somo took his skis alone and headed around.

Near the mountain is a deserted open space, and no humans or aliens have chosen to build their own camps here.

Coupled with the fact that it is covered with snow, no matter how you walk, it feels like you are standing still, making it impossible to touch the horizon.

The sky is blue, the snow is vast, and I am all alone.

Soma walks alone.

As the saying goes, "Looking up the mountain and running to death," Somo is in such a situation now.

Fortunately, the journey to the northeast is not too far.

moment.

After sliding out for about ten kilometers, he heard the sensor in his arms begin to buzz. A joyful expression appeared on Somo's face, and he began to search around him.

Digging here, shoveling there.

Soon, I was in a sunken snow cave.

Sumo took off his skis, lowered his body, and saw the Adventure Mechanic No. 1 who was "struggling" inside.

"Hey, you little thing, you fell here!"

Machinists No. 2 and 3 have successfully entered the mountain and are still moving forward according to the set procedures.

During this period, according to Soma's request.

Whenever the three adventurous mechanics climbed over a mountain, the data would be transmitted to one of them, who would then return in the direction Soma came from.

The other two adventurous mechanics continued to move forward to the next mountain.

Repeatedly, when three mountains are discovered, the adventurous mechanic will stop, and will not move forward until Soma extracts the data.

Of course, if the progress is perfect.

When No. 1 returns and Sumo extracts data and instructs it to continue moving forward, No. 2 and No. 3 will just stop and No. 1 will pick up and continue moving forward.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances.

The Adventure Mechanic's small size is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

When crossing mountains and ridges, they can easily climb to the peak and slide down along the snow surface.

But if you encounter some deep pits and fall into them, as is the case now, you have to wait until Somo comes to rescue you.

"Just wait until we get into the mountains. The geomagnetic shielding is too strong now. Let alone remote link control, even this locator can only provide an approximate location!"

Wiping the snowflakes off Mechanic No. 1's body, he dug out some stones stuck in the gaps.

Open the back cover, take out the data memory card stuck inside, and replace it with a new one.

Somo put it down happily, and watched it happily turn on its power and whir away into the mountain.

The geomagnetic reversal has turned the mountains thousands of miles into a pressure cooker.

Because of the shielding and isolation, there is no communication between the inside and the outside of the pot. Even if the 'hot air' in the pot occasionally bursts out, the outside world will be affected.

But once inside the pot, this effect will slowly begin to weaken.

The closer to the center of geomagnetic activity, the smaller the intensity of the interference.

Taking Shishan as an example, after arriving here, the sensing range of Soma's detector will be increased to about ten kilometers, and the Adventure Mechanic can also send out weak pulse signals to become coordinates.

In the future, when arriving at the origin camp, follow the directions.

The detection range will directly increase tenfold, directly reaching 100 kilometers, and even the remote link can be maintained at about three to five kilometers, which is extremely powerful!

"With the detection topographic map of Shishan Mountain, I don't believe that I can't get over it today!"

After passing Shishan Mountain, there is Donglong Mountain behind it, which represents the direction that covers the entire mountain heading east.

It is also here that a small number of humans and aliens have been active, leaving many traces. According to Marshal Wang, it is even suspected that there is a small human gathering place.

Use the second half of the day to familiarize yourself with the dangers in the mountain and adapt to the climbing rhythm, which is plenty of time.

After taking his time and walking around for a while, Somo followed the marks he left and returned to the place where the escort camped.

Under the sky full of snowflakes.

The three simple tents that were set up were already covered with snowy white.

Every now and then, the smoke from the tent blows out from the tent with the wind, carrying the aroma of rice far away to the surroundings, and goes straight to the nose.

The all-terrain climbing vehicle that had been parked before was also changing shape quickly while the team members were busy.
