New Year walking grassroots丨 Walking on the Linhai Snow Field "Teletubbies" 45 meters above sea level to protect the peace

Perhaps when riding the high-speed rail, you rarely notice the communication towers that stand on both sides of the railway. In fact, how does the speed of high-speed trains change? How do I stop when I enter the station? Instructions and signals are transmitted through these towers.

China's easternmost Mujia high-speed railway ushered in the first harsh winter after opening to traffic. Along the "most frost-resistant" high-speed railway, communication towers are distributed in remote dense forest mountains.

The duty of these post-90s boys is to ensure the safety and smoothness of the high-speed rail antenna communication signal, and they are affectionately known as "antenna babies".

The busy Spring Festival has begun, and the base station DK84 that several "Teletubbies" are overhauling today is located on the top of the mountain in front of them, because the car cannot drive up, they can only hike up the mountain along the kneeless snow.

Although leggings are strapped, knee-high snow in the col still seeps into shoes. Less than two kilometers of mountain road, the team members climbed for more than half an hour, the low temperature of minus thirty degrees, but everyone climbed out of a sweat.

The daily tower climbing operation is on average once every five days, but during the Spring Festival, it becomes every two days, just to ensure that the extremely cold high-speed rail runs foolproof.

The 45-meter-high signal tower tests not only physical strength, but also guts and perseverance. Although the foreman Pan Yulong is only 27 years old, he is already a "senior" in the work team, and there has never been a mistake in high-altitude work.

Although there have been countless times up and down before, in the weather of more than thirty degrees below zero, climbing the iron tower more than a dozen stories high with bare hands, everyone still pinched a handful of sweat for the foreman Pan Yulong.

After 15 minutes, Pan Yulong climbed to the top of the tower and began to adjust the pitch angle and azimuth angle of the antenna. Communication towers are greatly affected by wind, antennas are often loosened by high winds at high altitudes, and standing at the top of the tower, the biting cold wind makes the original simple movement extremely difficult.

Strengthen the interface, adjust the orientation, a full 20 minutes, the communication field strength finally fully met the requirements of the indicator. However, at this time, Pan Yulong's hands and feet had already been frozen and did not listen to the call, and he rested twice on the way down the ladder before returning to the ground safely. When he went up the tower, he was sweating, and when he worked on the top of the tower and when he went down the tower, he was penetrated by the cold wind, and Pan Yulong's hands and feet were constantly trembling.

Pan Yulong, foreman of the high-speed rail communication workshop of the Mudanjiang electric section: The leg is slightly numb. Today the wind is a little strong, and the top is straight and dangling, like a boat. At first, I was afraid, but then I always got used to climbing.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, Pan Yulong gave his wife a remote video call. Pan Yulong, who lives in Mudanjiang, and his wife were sent to participate in the construction of the Mujia high-speed railway shortly after they got married.

Pan Yulong, foreman of the high-speed rail communication workshop of the Mudanjiang Electric Section: I didn't go back last Year's New Year, and my daughter-in-law accompanied the elderly at home. This year (2021), the Mujia high-speed railway has just opened with heavy tasks, and it has not been home for the New Year for two years.

Like Pan Yulong, signal worker Wang Chaoliang originally planned to hold a wedding in 2020, but because the debugging of signal equipment before the opening of the Mujia high-speed railway was too busy, he could not go home for more than 10 consecutive months, and had to postpone the wedding plan, which has not been fulfilled until now.

Communication Worker Sai Qi: You don't know how good the scenery on the tower is, the high-speed rail passes from below, it is particularly beautiful, it is because we do these slow efforts, it can run so fast.

Brand new high-speed rail line, young railroad people. The conditions in the field are tough, but these big boys can always find joy. Guarding the towers of remote mountainous areas along the high-speed rail, they use the sweat of youth to ensure the safety and reunion of tens of millions of passengers.
