Dagu Glacier, garrison base military compound.
The soldiers were sitting in the warm meeting room, watching the final program of the Spring Festival Gala.
Happy New Year!
Seeing the comrades around them shine on the Spring Festival Gala one by one, the 'main characters' of the show smiled happily.
"D * mn, why am I smiling so foolishly! I feel too stupid!"
"Hahaha, fortunately, fortunately, you're not as silly as me. When you came back from the patrol that day, you were so bragged that you went numb!”
" Oh my god, the photos are too ugly. I haven't even found a wife yet. If I knew, I would have asked Teacher Bing Bing to give me a makeover."
When his comrades saw their smiles appear on the Spring Festival Gala, they felt their faces turn red and mocked themselves.
"That makes sense. Young hunks are the ones that girls like these days. We're all thick-skinned and old."
"Wow, you really hurt my heart!”
Another warrior took the initiative to roll up his sleeves, bend his arm, and interjected.
"Hey! I can't compete with you in terms of face, but do you see my biceps? How safe they are!”
"It's a pity that I'm not as good-looking as Captain Tang. If I'm half as handsome as him, I don't have anything to worry about.”
Qiu Yun teased.
"Yang Tao, don't even mention that he's half as good-looking as Captain."
"If you have half of Captain's hair, I guarantee that you will go to at least twenty families for blind dates!”
Everyone laughed.
At this moment.
Many of them saw a strange comment.
The content was that a mother said that the second soldier in the video was her child.
After thinking about it for a while, the second one to appear was…
"Yang Tao!"
"Your mother was looking for you at the Spring Festival Gala!”
Many pointed at the scrolling bar at the bottom of the screen.
Yang Tao, who was joking with his comrades and laughing happily, was also stunned by many shouts.
The group of soldiers quickly moved closer to the screen.
Qiu Yun stared at the rolling notes and read out word by word.
"I'm the mother of the second soldier in the New Year video just now."
"Thank you for letting me see him on New Year's Eve."
"Can you send me a copy of this video? Thank you!”
Hearing Qiu Yun finish reading the scrolling subtitles, Yang Tao suddenly froze on the spot.
The originally cheerful and peaceful atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Yang Tao didn't expect his mother, who was far away in his hometown, to ask the production team for help. She wanted to save this video with his blessings.
At this moment, endless longing and concern instantly surged into his heart.
No matter how steely a warrior was, he was still his mother's child.
Tears unknowingly welled up in her eyes.
He stared at the screen in a daze and said with a sob,
"Mom, it's been four years. How are you doing back home?"
"Taotao really misses you!"
After saying that, she burst into tears.
This was a hot-blooded warrior who had been braving the snow for four years and was not afraid of the cold and hurricanes.
At this moment, she could no longer suppress the sorrow in her heart and cried.
He clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with guilt and apology.
"Mom!"
"It's Taotao who isn't filial and can't be by your side to take care of you!”
"You have to be well in your hometown."
"I will definitely bring glory to the country and not disappoint you!”
Yang Tao recalled the scenes when he joined the army!
It was his mother who sent him onto the bus. It was his mother who ran after the car that was about to travel far away, unwilling to stop for a long time.
Tao Tao, who saw all of this through the car window, felt the pain of parting for the first time.
But he had no regrets!
And this feeling was shared by all the brothers and warriors.
Many of them also thought of the pickled cabbage dumplings that their mother had made, and of their mother who had traveled thousands of miles to visit them despite the discomfort of the plateau.
She was so touched that she couldn't help but tear up.
The soldiers hugged Yang Tao tightly.
They placed their arms on each other's shoulders.
Let's cheer for each other silently!
They roared and sang!
"Thousands of lights shine!"
"A soldier should be a guard with a sword!”
"Tonight!"
"Every night!"
"Don't worry, I'm at the border defense!"
"Don't worry, I'm at the border defense!"
"Don't worry, I'm at the border defense!"
The sound of the horn brought out the spirit of the company!
This pride and ambition turned the feeling of homesickness into endless motivation!
For the family behind him, for the land of ice beneath his feet!
They firmly believed that it was all worth it!
This order was Tang Chen's patrol oath for the Dagu Glacier Company!
When the soldiers chanted this command, they thought of their captain, Tang Chen.
It was not only the warriors who were proud of it.
Even their captain, Tang Chen, had been silently and firmly following this principle for ten years.
In the past ten years, no matter the wind, rain, or snow, he never flinched.
They were in charge of the boundary stele.
It would never be covered by snow.
It would never be dirtied by the rain.
They would forever stand on the snowy plains and silently guard it.
From the first ray of sunlight in the morning to the arrival of night.
Tang Chen was not only the benchmark for all the soldiers to chase after, but also the role model in the hearts of all the soldiers.
As the soldiers shed tears, the New Year video gradually came to an end.
At this moment, some of his comrades realized that the video wasn't perfect.
Because eleven warriors were missing.
There was even less of a captain who had always led them forward in unity.
This also meant that they had lost the opportunity to send their blessings to their families through the Spring Festival Gala.
he asked hesitantly.
" Qiu Yun, and Duoduo, you guys, on the show, it seems…"
Qiu Yun knew what he wanted to say.
On the day Ning Fan and Teacher Bing Bing came to shoot the video, Tang Chen and the other eleven soldiers went to Mount Qomolangma to carry out an emergency rescue mission.
They had missed the opportunity to shoot the New Year's video, so they did not appear on the Spring Festival Gala's New Year's program.
Qiu Yun comforted the other party and said.
" Hey, it's okay, bro. I video call my parents every year."
"It doesn't matter if it's on the Spring Festival Gala or not!"
His comrades looked at Qiu Yun, who was pretending to be cool, and felt very uncomfortable.
It was such a rare opportunity to be able to go on the Spring Festival Gala and tell his family that he was safe!
And everyone knew that Qiu Yun was the only child.
The two elders were all alone at home, hoping that Qiu Yun could make a name for herself in the army.
It was definitely impossible for her not to miss her son during the New Year!
Qiu Yun, who had always liked to play around, talked to her parents most about her comrades on the phone.
Everyone could see that Qiu Yun really treated the military compound as a writer.
What the soldiers did not know was that the military vehicle carrying the satellite communication device was slowly approaching them.
......
The video ended.
The audience's dissatisfaction grew more and more agitated.
Their request was very simple and clear. They just wanted to see the reunion of the company.
A New Year's greeting without Tang Chen was incomplete and regretful!
When Director Zhang saw this, he suddenly felt glad that he had done his homework.
Otherwise, the viewership ratings that they had managed to pull back with great difficulty might be ruined because of this failure.
Director Zhang said into his earpiece.
"Let's begin the next segment, Qu Dazhou!”
At this moment, the lights lit up the stage again.
Ning Fan and Bing Bing, who were sitting at the back of the stage, once again appeared in front of the audience of the whole country and said affectionately.
"You stand tall in the lofty mountains and snowy plains ~"
"You wrote your ambition at Ran Ran's border ~"
"You held on until dawn in the long night ~"
"You are the ones who interpret the military spirit of the era!”
Bing Bing held the microphone and continued softly.
" I believe you. Many attentive viewers have discovered a regret in this video of the soldiers guarding the border."
" Why are there 11 warriors missing from this New Year video?"
Ning Fan continued.
"Then please follow our special guest!”
" Research expert of the Academy of Sciences on Mount Qomolangma, commander of the fifth comprehensive scientific expedition team."
"Professor Qu Dazhou!"
"Let's walk into these eleven warriors together and tell the story behind their absence!”
The vast audience in the live broadcast room of the Spring Festival Gala saw Ning Fan and Bing Bing reappearing on the stage.
When they heard that there were special guests, everyone was excited!
No one had expected the Spring Festival Gala to have such a backup plan.
The story was not over yet!
Countless exclamations sounded!
"This surprise caught me off guard! I love you guys so much!"
"Qu Dazhou? An expert on Mount Qomolangma. Could it be that what happened that day was related to Mount Qomolangma?”
"Didn't the latest elevation of Mount Qomolangma just be announced two days ago? Could it be that Tang Chen's mission was related to this matter?”
"D * mn, brothers, I just searched the map. Mount Everest is really on the Dagu Glacier!”
"Previous poster, have you graduated from primary school? You don't even know where Mount Everest is!"
"I really want to hear the story behind it. Please don't be stingy!”
"This move is really too amazing. You hid it so well, program team!”
"The program team is a classic P-U-A! One moment it made me laugh, the next moment it made me cry, the next moment it made me angry, and now it made me surprised. Must watching the Spring Festival Gala be so exciting?”
Director Zhang saw that the direction of the comments had changed drastically, from the angry audience to the expectant audience.
He had only used a single move to reverse the situation, but everyone had experienced what it meant to be truly surprised.
However, the audience gave him a pleasant surprise.
The viewership ratings were about to rise by another 1%!
Moreover, the number of online viewers did not collapse after the New Year video ended. Instead, it steadily increased.
As the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast live worldwide, everyone around the world could watch it simultaneously.
Not only were there people from overseas, but there might also be some international friends who were interested in the Spring Festival Gala and were watching it with great interest.
Seeing this scene, Director Zhang knew that the situation of the Spring Festival Gala's live broadcast had completely stabilized.
The history created that night would be recorded in the Spring Festival Gala's annals.
At this moment, in the Spring Festival Gala's broadcasting studio.
Under Ning Fan and Bing Bing's warm invitation, Qu Dazhou, who was wearing a simple coat, slowly walked up to the stage from behind the curtain.
This fifty-year-old middle-aged man had white hair at his temples and red and swollen eyes.
Although she had put on some light makeup, it could no longer hide the vicissitudes in her eyes.
Ning Fan led Qu Dazhou to the center of the stage. He and Bing Bing stood on both sides of the stage.
The two of them bowed slightly.
"Teacher Qu!"
Qu Dazhou held the microphone and bowed slightly to the two hosts. At the same time, he bowed to the audience below the stage and the audience connected to the camera.
Bing Bing picked up the microphone and said.
"Teacher Qu is an expert in the comprehensive research of Mount Qomolangma in our Academy of Sciences."
" At the same time, he is also the general manager of the fifth comprehensive expedition team on Mount Qomolangma."
"The newly announced elevation of Mount Qomolangma was measured by the scientific research team led by Teacher Qu."
"8848.96 meters!"
Ning Fan added.
"Not bad! Mount Qomolangma is the highest glacial mountain in the world."
"Not only did its 'height' attract the attention of the world, but our scientific research team also used satellite signal positioning measurements, aerial gravity measurements, snow depth measurements on the peak, and so on."
"These measurements are the first in the country and even the world!”
"It can be said that this comprehensive expedition to Mount Everest has a very important scientific research role!”
Bing Bing continued and changed the topic.
"But the comprehensive scientific examination of Mount Everest is also very, very difficult!”
"Not only is the mountain extremely steep,
"During the scientific examination, we also faced a low temperature of minus tens of degrees Celsius and a hurricane as high as magnitude 10."
"All kinds of dangers and difficulties are placed in front of the scientific research team."
"Then what exactly happened during our comprehensive expedition to Mount Qomolangma?"
"And how did he form a life-and-death friendship with the Dagu Border Guard Company?"
"Teacher Qu Dazhou, please explain to us!”
Then, Ning Fan and Bing Bing handed the stage to Qu Dazhou and stood quietly at the side.
Qu Dazhou's expression was a little wooden. He looked at the empty camera in front of him and slowly raised the microphone.
" I'm not the one who really measured the latest elevation of Mount Qomolangma."
As soon as he said this.
The entire studio's audience was stunned.
Even the online audience was stunned.
Some of the audience even went to the Academy of Sciences 'official website to take a look.
"Two days ago, the latest elevation of Mount Everest was officially announced by the Academy of Sciences.”
"Yeah, it also says the latest elevation of Mount Qomolangma. It was measured during the fifth comprehensive expedition to Mount Qomolangma, which was also not long ago."
"If it wasn't measured by Specialist Qu, then who was it?”
Everyone was puzzled.
Director Zhang, who was backstage in the director's studio, had long guessed that the audience would have such a reaction.
When the latest height of Mount Qomolangma was trending, most netizens only saw 8848.96 meters as an ordinary hot topic.
In addition to the announcement published by the Academy of Sciences at that time, the content was long and professional.
The entire article was an explanation of the data of Mount Qomolangma, and there was almost no mention of the story behind the expedition.
Most of the netizens didn't have the patience to finish watching it, and they basically learned about it through third-party platforms.
They were all reading edited texts and videos to get news.
For example, a short article push from a certain browser.
#Shocked! Mount Qomolangma actually grew taller!#
Everyone clicked in and took a glance before exiting.
Therefore, no one paid attention to the announcement on the official website of the Academy of Sciences and the related obituary push at the end of the announcement.
Even if they paid attention to it, they might not be able to link the encounter of the six victims to the border garrison.
Director Zhang had also contacted Qu Dazhou through his connections.
Only then did he truly understand the cause and effect.
Therefore, he felt that Qu Dazhou was right when he said that he was not the one who measured the latest elevation of Mount Qomolangma.
That was because the person who really reached the summit of Mount Qomolangma was Tang Chen.
The person who set up the new target was Tang Chen.
Without Tang Chen, there wouldn't be 8848.96 points on Mount Everest today.
Director Zhang continued to observe the situation on the stage. Through his earpiece, he signaled Ning Fan and Bing Bing not to interrupt Qu Dazhou's train of thought.
Qu Dazhou, who was in the middle of the stage, spoke into the microphone.
"After seeing this photo, I believe everyone will understand."
As soon as he finished speaking.
On the big screen behind Qu Dazhou, a very clear color photo appeared. On the surface, there were transparent lines that marked the angle and distance.
In the photo.
Above the clouds.
The mountain peak broke through the air.
On the peak of the pyramid, a bright flag was fluttering in the wind.
And in front of this flag.
One of the soldiers was paying full attention to the flag and saluted!
All the spectators recognized the familiar bright flag at once.
The online viewers started guessing.
"Why does the top of this mountain look like a pyramid? Could it be the top of Mount Everest?”
"Previous poster, let me tell you, this is the top of Mount Qomolangma!”
"D * mn, there's a bright flag on the top of Mount Everest. It should have been taken during the comprehensive scientific examination!”
"What's that flashing green light on the flag pole?”
At this time, a netizen named 'Alien Explorer' explained.
" Passing by the geography surveying profession."
"This is a photo taken when the intersection point was measured."
"The angle and distance measurement on the surface of the photo came with the instrument when it was taken."
" So it's obviously the top of Mount everest."
"And the pole of that flag is a target, used for positioning!”
Seeing the professional's explanation, the netizens were enlightened.
" D * mn, I'm impressed by you. You explained it so clearly."
"So the warrior in the photo is the one who reached the top?"
"That figure looks quite familiar!”
As the netizens analyzed and guessed one after another.
Qu Dazhou, who was in the middle of the stage, spoke.
It was like a clap of thunder.
It shocked everyone.
"Actually, the person who measured the latest elevation of Mount Qomolangma."
" It's the soldier saluting in the photo."
"Tang Chen!"
