Chapter 632 An Unexpected Encounter
After inspecting the Namtso Nuclear Power Station, Huang Weichang took a train all the way south along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and arrived in Lhasa.
In the train station.
The node of the Laga Line is also here. A train heading north from Kathmandu slowly stopped at the platform. A few rare white people pulled suitcases off the train.
Huang Weichang, who had just gotten off the bus, also saw four white people. He could tell something about each other at a glance. These people were not Gurkhas in Kathmandu, Brahmins from Tianzhu, or white people on the other side of the minibus. White people from the west.
From the clothes and temperament, he can judge some of the other person's origins.
However, he did not stare at each other all the time, but pretended to look around, secretly raising his guard. The five secret guards responsible for the security also immediately raised their guard, and their bodies tensed up, as if they were about to explode at any time. leopard.
After a while, the two parties were far away from each other, and Huang Weichang got on the minibus arranged by the branch company.
Through the car window, he turned his head and ordered: "Check the identities of these four people and see how they entered the country."
Although as the Greater China region becomes increasingly powerful, not many people dare to cause trouble in the Snowy Region, and this area is also more open than before.
But Huang Weichang's whereabouts are very secret. Whether it is accidental or intentional, the identities of these people must be investigated clearly.
The deputy responsible for communicating with the Intelligence Department contacted the local Intelligence Department personnel, and soon the identity information of the four white men appeared in Huang Weichang's hands.
[Hunter Hammer, a Greek, is currently a professor at a Greek university, specializing in social development and international relations...]
After going through some basic information about the four people, there was nothing wrong on the surface. However, Huang Weichang, who often lived in the dark, was also infected with some occupational diseases, namely persecution paranoia and suspicion.
After all, identities can be forged. Even if these identities are true, it does not seem to have a direct relationship with whether the other party is a spy.
"Let the Intelligence Department keep an eye on these people."
The deputy nodded.
Huang Weichang then ordered: "Xiao Wang, rearrange the inspection route and use backup plan No. 6."
"Understood, I'll make arrangements right away." Xiao Wang, who was accompanying him, quickly got busy, as if he was already used to this kind of temporary route modification.
Huang Weichang is not a reckless man. Faced with this situation, the best response is to change the route immediately, regardless of whether the other party has problems or not, just in case.
On the benches on the train station platform, Professor Hunter, Augustus and others were a little out of breath. Compared to Kathmandu, which is more than a thousand meters above sea level, the little altitude sickness is worse in the average snowfall of more than 4,000 meters. Regionally, it's just a child's play.
Fortunately, Jizhe was prepared. He took out the anti-altitude sickness medicine he had purchased in Kathmandu and poured hot water for the teacher and two classmates.
After taking the pills, it took more than ten minutes for everyone's symptoms of high fever to ease a little.
"Phew! The altitude sickness here is so strong, I feel like my brain is about to stop working." Helen smiled bitterly.
Augustus also regretted a little. If he had known that the rebellion here was so serious, he should have waited a little longer.
Originally, the group of them continued to wait for the flight in Kathmandu, but after waiting for more than ten days, the only international airport in the area was unable to take off and land normally.
At this time, bad news came from Augustus's house.
His mother went to Paris to visit her sick grandmother. As a result, while out shopping, she was robbed by three silent men with knives. She was stabbed in the kidney and is now lying in the ICU in Paris.
Faced with this bad news, Augustus was so anxious that he could only choose to take a detour to the snowy area, then go to the international airport in Chengdu and take a plane to Paris.
The older Professor Hunter seemed to have some difficulty adapting to the altitude sickness and was feeling groggy.
Fortunately, Jizhe had already bought the ticket at this time, and the train to Rongcheng entered the station ten minutes later.
Knowing that the train was designed to simulate a plain, as soon as the train arrived at the station, Gizhe and Augustus supported Professor Hunter and stepped onto the train carriage.
After entering the carriage, everyone calmed down.
Professor Hunter, who felt alive, breathed a sigh of relief: "Thanks to technology, high altitude is too uncomfortable."
"The first time we came to the Roof of the World, we lay at the station for a long time without even taking a look outside. It was really a pity." Helen recovered even faster.
Jizhe said with a smile: "It's actually similar to Kathmandu outside. It's probably also ice and snow, and it's completely white."
Except for the worried Augustus, everyone else was talking about the snowy area and this super highway.
In their eyes, the existence of this super highway is simply incredible. Information obtained from TV or the Internet will never be as shocking as seeing it with their own eyes.
It’s not that Professor Hunter has never been to China. He went to Peking about eight or nine years ago for related academic exchanges, and then toured south along the Beijing-Kowloon Line.
His impression of China is still in his memory. Even through the Internet, there is always a sense of smoke and mirrors.
This trip to the north was unplanned.
But Professor Hunter did not object, because he also wanted to refresh his brain and see the real changes in this magical ancient Eastern country over the years.
However, just this super highway surprised Professor Hunter. You must know that this is the roof of the world. It is already very difficult to build a railway in such a place.
The super highway is a super transportation project that directly combines highways, high-speed railways, and cable pipelines. This super highway represents many things.
As a scholar who studies international relations and social development, Professor Hunter is not the kind of ordinary person who is blindly arrogant.
He understands the impact of the superhighway.
Sitting in the car, looking out the window, the trains speed by, stop, or start from time to time.
Coupled with the number of trains he saw along the way north from Kathmandu, Professor Hunter has roughly estimated the transportation volume of this special railway.
Together with the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, as well as the 109 National Highway and 317 National Highway that are being renovated, these super highways and high-speed rail lines, to a certain extent, are like a dragnet that firmly controls the snowy area.
At the same time, it can quickly affect the northern areas of South Asia. Professor Hunter, who came from Kathmandu, naturally knows that food has become the Achilles heel of these areas.
He lamented in his heart: Too powerful! Xizhou has not completely woken up. Does Xizhou still have a future?
This question has been lingering in Professor Hunter's mind, and it has even become a problem.
The train started slowly, and soon the speed soared to 350 kilometers per hour. It was speeding on the railway. There were not many passengers on the train, and about half of the seats in the carriage were empty.
Hunter knew that the population in the snowy area was not large, but China still chose to build many super highways here.
This kind of thing is basically impossible to happen in the world of capital.
Because investing in railways and highways in such areas is destined to be impossible to recover, private companies will certainly not make losses.
This is the gap between the two sides. Different routes have brought different developments.
