Walking at the grassroots level in the Spring Festival | The "Teletubby" at an altitude of 45 meters guarantees the peace and reunion of millions of passengers.
CCTV News:Maybe when you take the high-speed train, you seldom notice the communication towers standing on both sides of the railway. In fact, how the speed of the high-speed train changes and how to stop when entering the station, it is necessary to transmit instructions and signals through these towers. Meet these "post-90s" high-speed rail communication workers guarding Spring Festival travel rush on the 45-meter-high tower.

The easternmost Mujia high-speed railway in China ushered in the first severe winter after its opening to traffic. Along this "most frost-resistant" high-speed railway, communication towers are distributed in remote dense forest and mountainous areas. The duty of these "post-90 s" boys is to ensure the safe and smooth communication signals of high-speed rail antennas. They are affectionately called "antenna babies".
Busy Spring Festival travel rush has already started. The DK84 base station that several Teletubbies are going to overhaul today is located on the top of the mountain ahead. Because the car can’t drive, they can only walk up the mountain along knee-deep snow.
Although leggings are tied, knee-high snow still seeps into the shoes in the ravine. On the mountain road less than two kilometers, the team members climbed for more than half an hour, and everyone climbed out of a sweat at a low temperature of MINUS 30 degrees.

The daily work of climbing the tower is once every five days on average, but it was changed to once every two days during Spring Festival travel rush, just to make every effort to ensure the operation of the extremely cold high-speed railway.
The 45-meter-high signal tower tests not only physical strength, but also courage and perseverance. Although Pan Yulong, the foreman, is only 27 years old, he is already a "senior" in the work team, and he has never made any mistakes in aerial work.

Although it has been up and down countless times before, but in the weather of minus 30 degrees, we climbed the tower of more than ten stories with our bare hands, and everyone still felt a sweat for the foreman Pan Yulong.
Fifteen minutes later, Pan Yulong reached the top of the tower and began to adjust the pitch angle and azimuth angle of the antenna. The communication tower is greatly influenced by the wind, and the antenna is often blown loose by the high-altitude wind. Standing at the top of the tower, the biting cold wind makes the original simple action extremely difficult.

After strengthening the interface and adjusting the orientation for 20 minutes, the communication field strength finally reached the index requirements. But at this time, Pan Yulong’s hands and feet had already been frozen, and he rested twice on the way down the ladder before returning to the ground safely. I was sweating all over when I went to the tower, and I was beaten by the cold wind when I was working at the top of the tower and getting off the tower. Pan Yulong’s hands and feet kept shaking.
During the lunch break, Pan Yulong made a remote video call to his wife. Pan Yulong, who lives in Mudanjiang, was sent to participate in the construction of Mujia high-speed railway shortly after his wife got married. In recent years, the young couple have been separated from each other.
Like Pan Yulong, Wang Chaoliang, a signalman, originally planned to hold a wedding in 2020. However, due to the busy debugging of signal equipment before the opening of Mujia high-speed railway, he was unable to go home for more than 10 months in a row, so he had to postpone the wedding plan, which has not been fulfilled until now.

Brand-new high-speed rail line, young railway people. Although the working conditions in the field are hard, these big boys can always find happiness. Guarding the towers in remote mountainous areas along the high-speed railway, they use the sweat of youth to ensure the peace and reunion of millions of passengers.
