Chapter 117 Altitude 5190 (3/4)(1/2)

The newly built road does not climb up the ravine like the old road. The newly built road starts to turn from the fork.

However, the new road is easy to run. The asphalt has been paved for only seven or eight days, and the road surface is flatter than that of the expressway.

After several major turns, the road rose to an altitude of two or three hundred meters, and went straight to the hillside. Looking from the co-pilot to the right, the old road was in the ravine at the foot.

There are also workers who are working on slope protection on the roadside and workers who are sorting out the shoulders of the road. It can be seen that the road has not been completely completed.

However, this road has obviously replaced the old road below. After getting on the highway, Lao Liu saw a lot of vehicles coming and going.

After driving forward for about ten kilometers, the old road that had been at the foot of the right side gradually rose to a level with the new road, and finally the two roads were once again combined into one.

At this time, the altitude had exceeded 5,000 meters!

"Dad, be careful not to step on the accelerator when driving, and don't stop and get up in a hurry."

“Why?”

"The altitude here is over 5,000, and the boiling point is less than 83 degrees Celsius. The displacement of our car is close to 4.0, so be sure to pay attention to the water temperature of the water tank and don't turn on the pot!"

As soon as his son reminded him, the veteran driver Liu Dahe immediately understood what it meant.

If you don't understand it, a BMW X5 that has already been boiled on the road ahead is the best example...

Molan: "Xiao Ang, do we want to help?"

Liu Dahe: "What are you helping? How to help? There is no other way to open the water tank, you can only wait until it cools down. There is no other way, so we can't help even if we go."

Even though that was the case, when the car approached the X5, Liu Dad slowed down. Liu Mo'ang fell down the window and asked loudly, "Brother, do you need help?"

There were four young men, two men and two women driving. It was probably two young couples who came to Namchou to drive themselves.

The four people looked up at the domineering Foxconn Off-road Vehicle, and their faces showed envious expressions.

One of the young men waved his hand and said, "Thank you, you don't need to help. Just wait until the water temperature drops."

Seeing that there was no need for help, Old Liu got out of the car without showing any shame. After rolling up the window, Liu's father slowly increased the accelerator and the car continued to run forward steadily.

Chu Qian asked, "Can X5 be able to make a fuss?"

Old Liu smiled and said, "Why can't X5 be able to drive a pot? Don't forget the altitude here. After more than 5,000 meters, no matter what kind of car you have, as long as you have to mess around with low speed and high torque for a long time, it would be strange if you don't drive a pot. I heard from Dawa brothers that he has seen luxury cars such as Big G and GLE at such altitude."

Liu Dahe explained: "Actually, this car is? The larger the displacement, the faster the water temperature rises. In such a high-altitude place? Although a car with a large displacement is very powerful, it is easy to drive. Compared with this, cars with a displacement of less than 2.0 are safer."

While talking, the car finally rushed to the top of the mountain.

In fact, it is not considered a mountain top, it is a relatively flat area sandwiched between two peaks? It looks about 100 meters in radius and is surrounded by railings.

To the north of the open space, there is a huge stone tablet standing there, with vague words on it.

At this time, there were about seven or eight cars, and about twenty tightly wrapped tourists taking photos and videos there.

"This place should be the famous Lashan Pass. Let's go down to take a look and take photos and videos to commemorate them." Dad Liu seemed quite excited.

"You can go out, be fully armed? Wear what you should wear? Wear what you should wear. The wind is strong outside and the temperature is very low. Don't catch a cold. Just look at the tourists outside. Also, try not to move vigorously after getting off the bus. This is the mountain pass at an altitude of 5,190, which is a traditional life forbidden area? Let's all pay attention." Lao Liu said while starting to wear a down jacket.

Although the temperature outside is more than ten degrees, and the sun is very good? But it can't stand the wind today, and it's another pass? The wind is even stronger, so it's best to wear it neatly before getting off the bus? Avoid being caught by the wind.

A few people were dressed and got out of the car? They were immediately blown by the strong wind. The wind and horse flags hanging on the wooden railings and the pile of Mani were also whistled by the strong wind.

This flat area is on the east side of the road? There are still several wooden steps to climb from the parking lot to the huge stone tablet.

After climbing the wooden steps, the four people's eyes were immediately attracted by the huge lake in the northwest.

"That's Namcuo? It's so beautiful!"

No matter who said this sentence, there is no doubt that almost everyone who came here would express such emotion after seeing the azure blue water in the distance.

Lao Liu was also shocked by the scenery in front of him.

Compared to the Lake Kona that I have seen before, Namko is undoubtedly more magnificent. Especially when standing at Naganla Pass at an altitude of 5,190, looking down at Namko at an altitude of 4,700, the feeling is even more unparalleled.

The scenery in front of you can even make you feel the state of "harmony between man and nature".

This is really not a blowjob. When you stand here, you can really feel that mysterious feeling...

Anyway, our Liu Daguanren stood here and felt like he was about to fly in the wind...

The four of them were all excited, and then after being filled with wind, their attention was attracted by the huge stone tablet in front of them.

Compared with the memorial stone tablet of Qingqing Tanggula Mountain on the east side of the inn, this stone tablet directly piercing on the ground is undoubtedly larger.

The stone tablet is generally an irregular pentagonal, with height and width exceeding three meters.

Once you get closer, you can see the words on the stone tablet clearly.

Facing the stone tablet, from left to right, is Tibetan, with the three words "Nagenla" in Chinese, and a poem with a much smaller font is engraved in the middle, and the poem is in English below. On the far right of the stone tablet, there is a conspicuous word "Altitude 5190".

The tangy yellow stone tablet, red font, combined with the altitude here and the surrounding scenery make this stone tablet look extremely imposing.

"Who did this? Why did you burn this stone tablet? Also, why is there a small piece missing here?" Mo Lan was a little panting, but her tone seemed a little unhappy.

It is true. Originally, this stone tablet should have been perfect, but unfortunately, there was a very obvious piece missing on the left side of the stone tablet. Above the middle of the stone tablet, that is, above the poem, a large piece burned black.

These two huge and particularly conspicuous flaws make this stone tablet that should have been perfect and a little distressing and indignant...

However, after these two shortcomings, the scenery here is really not covered.

Lao Liu took a lot of photos of his father and mother and recorded a lot of videos. The two of them tried to light a cigarette here to take a sip, but the ordinary lighter he brought from below was indeed unable to use at this height.

As for Chu Qian, she stood in front of the stone tablet and stared at the poem.

After taking photos and videos for his parents, Old Liu came to Chu Qian's side, and then he heard Chu Qian's muttering.

“That year

Kneel on the mountain road

Not for the meeting

Just to keep your warmth

That life

Turn the mountain, water and pagoda

Not to cultivate the next life

Just to meet you on the way”

Lao Liu looked up at the stone tablet and realized that Chu Qian was talking about the poem on the stone tablet.

The author's name is under the poem - Tsangyang Gyatso.

Old Liu scratched his scalp and whispered to himself: "Why does this name sound so familiar?"

Chu Qian turned her head and looked at Lao Liu beside her and smiled, "Tangyang Gyatso is the Sixth Rinpoche, and he is also the most famous poet on the plateau."

"Ah? He is a Rinpoche?"

"Well, the real Rinpoche." Chu Qian nodded with certainty, "The poem engraved on this stone tablet is two lines of poetry excerpted from his famous "That Life". It's so beautiful!"

Old Liu scratched his scalp awkwardly again. Such poetry is too profound for him, a poor student.

"It is best not to meet each other, so that we can not fall in love. It is best not to know each other, so that we can not fall in love." Chu Qian said softly, "Have you heard these two lines of poetry? This is also his work."

Lao Liu continued to scratch his scalp.

"There is also this sentence, laughing at the glitz and the moonlight is like washing. I smile at the passing of my heart and the flying flowers."

...

Chu Qian read several poems in a row, but Lao Liu didn't understand a single sentence, but he could see that Chu Qian was entering a very strange state.

Well, it seems to be the legendary "literary youth state".

Chu Qian looked at the dazed Lao Liu and was very happy. Then she raised her pink fist and smashed Lao Liu's chest twice, "What a good poem, why don't you understand? You are such a ignorant guy!"

But as soon as he said this, the girl realized that something was wrong, so her cheeks turned red, she stopped standing in front of the monument, and hurriedly got into the car.

Old Liu scratched his scalp with one hand and touched the chest that had just been smashed, looking constipated.

When he turned around, he saw his parents standing not far away and laughing at him. This made Lao Liu feel a little embarrassed.

The four of them stayed at Naganla Pass for about ten minutes and were about to drive and continue moving forward.

Just as Lao Liu closed the car door, he saw two uniformed police officers rushed out of the blue and white public security checkpoint across the road.

Lao Liu looked in the direction of the police running and found several people gathering in front of the communication base station on the other side of the highway, and something seemed to be happening there.

"Dad, don't start the car first." Almost subconsciously, Lao Liu stopped his father, "I'll go over and take a look, something might be wrong there."

"Xiao Ang..." Molan looked at her son with some concern.

"Mom, it's okay. You, my dad and Chu Qian are sitting in the car. I see that you three are a little panting, so don't move around. I'll go over and see if there are anyone who needs help."

Even though Chu Qian has adapted to the plateau, Liu's father and mother have drunk spring water and eliminated the altitude reversal. However, this place is a life-forbidden area with an altitude of nearly 5,002. The oxygen content here is less than two-thirds of that of Tianqu. Even if there is no altitude reversal, the oxygen is still not enough.

Old Liu is fine. He takes the white lion out for a run every morning. He has already adapted to this hypoxic environment.

After passing two trucks, he trotted across the road and came to the communication base station opposite.

Two policemen and four or five people who knew they were communication workers at a glance stood together. One of them was still shouting: "Don't touch him first, cover him with thick clothes to keep warm. I'll go back to get an oxygen bottle. He needs oxygen now."

As the policeman said, he turned around and ran to the checkpoint, while the other policeman said unhappily: "What are you doing? You dare to bring him here to work after knowing that he has come to the plateau for less than two weeks. How can you be dead!"
