The sweetheart of a strong president

Chapter 201 Encountering Difficulties

Han: People say that men are rational and women are emotional. I think we are opposites and our existence goes against the laws of human nature.

Wan: Hehe, do you mean to say that you love me more than I love you, or do you mean to blame me for not being able to express my love for you?

Han: Just love me!

Wan: Always in love!

Han: It’s useful! Good night!

He just wanted to hear his wife say that she loved him, and this time he fell asleep satisfied.

Su Wan on the other end of the line shook her head helplessly. A man in his forties still needed to be coaxed like a child!

----------

Su Wan has been working very hard these days, but the results are coming out very quickly. The program mainly involves adjusting the instrument operation protocol, which has gone through several steps, namely demand analysis, code review, code modification and testing. At present, these steps have been completed, and the software updates that have been modified and tested correctly have been deployed to all related instruments to ensure that the software versions of all devices are consistent to avoid potential compatibility issues.

We are now continuously monitoring the system's operating status and instrument performance.

They also made more detailed and professional definitions of the physical environment in which the instrument is used and the environment in which the parts are used. Everything else is easy to deal with, but the battery is the most difficult component to deal with.

The instrument uses dedicated low-temperature operating batteries. These batteries are specially designed to provide power in cold conditions, but their performance is not stable enough in extremely cold weather.

Although from the perspective of global population coverage, there are not many people who can survive in such an extremely cold environment, and whether the equipment should cover these places is not of much significance to the company and can be almost ignored. However, from the perspective of human beings' ability to conquer nature, it has a very far-reaching significance and is worth exploring.

How could Su Wan, a science fan, give up so easily? However, the battery technology was not patented by their company, but was a collaboration with other companies, so although she was willing, she was powerless.

The monitoring system data was abnormal, and after several adjustments, it still could not reach the ideal state. After much consideration, Su Wan decided to go to the place where the instrument had problems to take a look.

This place is Genhe City in Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. Genhe City is known as the "Cold Pole of China". The lowest average temperature in January here has reached -1°C, and the lowest average temperature in winter (December to February of the following year) is -37.2°C, both of which are the lowest in the country. This place and Mohe City in Heilongjiang Province, also in China, are famous for their cold temperatures and have become important areas for studying and understanding extreme cold environments due to their unique geographical and climatic conditions.

In the heart of Hulunbuir Prairie, Genhe City is like a forgotten pearl, quietly embedded in the ice and snow. Su Wan, a brave female leader, leads her six-member team here and is about to face a severe test.

In addition to Su Wan and Zhang Gong, the team also includes Wang Gang, Li Na, Feng Shuzi and Zhao Feng. Su Wan, Zhang Gong and Wang Gang are technical experts, Li Na is a medical consultant, and Feng Shuzi and Zhao Feng are life consultants.

It was deep winter, and the temperature in Genhe City dropped to -40 degrees Celsius. The sky was a deep gray-blue, and the heavy clouds hung low, as if they were within reach. The cold wind was howling, like thousands of wild horses galloping, tearing the earth and the hearts of the team members.

Although the car was equipped with anti-skid chains and snow tires, it was driving very slowly due to unreliable driving skills, and it was obvious that the originally planned itinerary could not be completed.

It was still bearable for people to stay in the car, but every time they went out, it was like a life-and-death struggle. Their faces were frozen red, their hands and feet were numb, and every breath was like swallowing a cold blade.

The team members were wearing thick down jackets, as if each of them had turned into a clumsy penguin, moving slowly and laboriously.

The gloves became stiff in the cold wind, and the fingers gradually lost sensation. Every time they clenched or loosened their gloves, they had to make great efforts. Their boots took heavy steps in the snow. The softness and slipperiness of the snow made walking extremely difficult, and every step seemed to exhaust all their strength.

Although they had made sufficient preparations, they still underestimated the difficulties and were not fully prepared due to their lack of experience living here, so their situation was terrible.

The food became as hard as stone in the cold, and it took all their strength to bite it. The water source was frozen, so they had to hold it in their arms and let it melt before they could drink it. Their survival seemed to have become a battle against cold and hunger.

Worse is yet to come.

The two cars fell into the pit one after another while driving. They tried hard, but there was no way to move them out. Without the car, they could not move.

Su Wan thought of reporting the situation to the company and requesting quick support, but when she turned on her phone, she found that it was no longer working.

In extremely cold regions, the performance of mobile phone lithium batteries will be affected. Under low temperature conditions, the resistance of the electrolyte increases and the activity of lithium ions decreases, resulting in a weakened battery discharge capacity. When the temperature drops to minus 10°C, the smartphone screen will dim and enter a low-battery state; at minus 20°C, the phone can hardly be turned on; at minus 30°C, the screen and battery will fail.

Su Wan was familiar with these situations, but because he was not used to the new environment, he ignored the problem for a while. This was caused by the tension brought by the bad new environment. The same was true for other team members. All their mobile phones were unusable.

First, keep warm and warm up the phones. Feng Shuzi and Zhao Feng set up three simple tents, lit the fuel they brought with them in the tents, and placed the six phones next to them to roast.

After a while, the phone became usable.

Su Wan called the company, and after hearing the report, Mr. Li was very anxious and worried about their safety! But he didn't know what to do for a while, so he put his hope on them to ask for help from the local rescue department.

When Su Wan called, it was already evening. She would not be able to reach her destination that night. It was too dangerous to spend the night at the scene of the incident, as the temperature here could drop to more than 50 degrees below zero at night.

Su Wan called the police again. While waiting, they stayed in three tents respectively. Feng Shuzi and Zhao Feng were in one tent, Wang Gang and Zhang Gong were together, and Li Na and Su Wan were together.

For dinner, we had compressed food and high-energy chocolate. Although we were not hungry, we could not stand the cold. We did not have much fuel, so we had to use it sparingly, fearing that rescue would not be timely.

Li Na was a spoiled child. She was almost thirty years old and had never suffered such hardship. She was so cold that she was about to cry.

Mr. Zhang was worried that the two women couldn't take care of themselves, so he ran over to take a look. He found that Su Wan had given her warm coat to Li Na, but she herself was shivering with cold and her lips were blue and purple. He immediately felt distressed and his eyes were filled with tears.
