Tianya Reef, this is the reef that Ge Zhen guarded alone. As for whether it is this name, it is really impossible to verify. Anyway, everyone calls it that way.

There is a house in the middle, a national flag in the front, a lighthouse behind, a dog kennel on the right, and a dog grave on the left.

When he was on the reef, Lao Yang gave him a dog to accompany him. Three months later, the dog died.

Why die? I was so crazy.

In the first month, the dog was very keen and followed Ge Zhen back and forth every day; in the second month, the dog lay on the ground and stared at the vast sea every day, and stopped barking; in the third month, the dog went crazy and chased Ge Zhen and bit it all over the reef.

If you bite Ge Zhen, isn’t this asking for death? So Ge Zhen beat the dog to death and buried it on the left side of the house.

This is indeed a place that can make people go crazy and even dogs can't stand it, let alone people? If the first and second classes can endure loneliness and be ordinary and brilliant, then Tianya Jiao can hold on, and it is worth pride in saying a complete sentence.

After all, they can still see the snowy plateau in the first row and second squads, and climb up the mountain to see the north and south of the Yangtze River. What can they see here?

"Water! So much water...all it is water!" Ge Zhen sat in front of the house and shouted: "The tender cabbage, tender peaches; the tender tofu, tender peaches; the tender watermelon, tender grapes, tender mangoes..."

Does it look like a psychopath?

Not like it, because it is!

It has been more than three months, and Ge Zhen doesn't know how he endured it. Anyway, he also feels a little crazy and shouts at the sea here that is purely useless.

The water and sky are connected from all directions, and the sea water on the shallows of reefs is as clear as jade, and then it goes far away bit by bit: azure, deep blue, dark...

"Plop!"

After shouting, Ge Zhen jumped into the sea, swam eastward hard, shaking the wind and waves, swam out five or six nautical miles in one breath, climbed onto another smaller reef, and then let the wind take a while here before swimming back.

After making the same report through the computer, if you can't sleep, swim back and forth.

I am idle and idle, so I have to find something to do.

"Leader, I don't care which leader you are, I must find something for me." Ge Zhen, who came back, called out when he reported: "I have observed the terrain here. The Philippines occupies our islands and reefs in the southeast, and Vietnam occupies our islands and reefs in the southwest. My buddy doesn't move a bullet, take back a few islands and reefs to play. Don't worry, I won't fire a single shot, I swim over!"

After staying here for more than three months, he was so idle that he had already figured out the surrounding situation. He swam out more than 20 nautical miles several times, quietly entered the Feizhan Islands and reefs, figured out everything there, and stole some fresh fruits while swimming back and eating.

This is a guy who can't stay idle. He will investigate the enemy situation from time to time and bring some supplies to others.

"If you have nothing to do, go diving and relieve stress." A voice came from the radio.

"Stop making trouble. I can dive with bare hands now for more than fifty meters, and I have lost the challenge." Ge Zhen shouted.

"The record of human diving with bare hands is 113 meters, you can challenge it."

"I'm going to challenge you!" Ge Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "What's the use of breaking the world record? I dived for combat. The 113-meter world record is amazing, but how long can I stay if I dived? My heart is pressed to the size of a plum, and I will die for one more second... Hey! Hey? Hey?!"

There was already hung up there, so I was too lazy to continue talking to him.

"Damn!" Ge Zhen cursed: "You can't say a few more words with me? I almost forgot how to speak!"

Yes, he kept talking to himself every day. When reporting, he caught someone and said violently because he was afraid of losing his language ability.

This is a relatively sealed space. If there is no radio station or a supply ship that costs once every half a month, then this is an absolutely sealed space.

If you stay alone in this sealed space, you will lose your language ability and become irritable and irritable, just like that dog, and eventually hold it crazy.

"Click!"

Sitting on the threshold, Ge Zhen lit a cigarette and smoked it. The cheeks, which were blown by the sea breeze, were more angular, and the light in his eyes became more restrained and more concentrated, as if it was substantial.

"How long do I have to stay here? How long do I have to throw me here and temper me? Alas..."

Throwing him here to guard the reef is the ultimate tempering of his character, making him lonely, allowing him to sublimate his entire spirit in extreme loneliness, and condensing the calmness that is thundering but hidden deep in his heart.

No one told him how long he would stay, but Ge Zhen knew he would leave when he was time to leave. What he was doing now was still precipitation, precipitation, precipitation.

...

The sun jumped out of the sea level and another day came.

"Step in one step—go!"

Ge Zhen carried the national flag and issued a command to himself, and walked around Tianya Reef with every step of 75 cm. When the circle was finished, he immediately made the next command to himself.

"Step in line - go!"

In the bright and slogan, they changed to straight steps and kicked along a straight line to the flagpole.

"Rise the national flag, play the national anthem, salute!"

Ge Zhen inserted the flagpole into the groove, saluted the five-star red flag fluttering in the sea breeze, and began to sing the national anthem in his mouth.

"Get up, the people who do not want to be slaves will cast our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall..."

Raise the flag in the morning and lower the flag at night. Whether it raises the flag or lowers the flag, they all walk around the reef in one step, and then kick over it step by step.

This is to measure the sacred territory of the motherland with steps.

Four months passed, Ge Zhen became darker and thinner, but stronger; five months passed, his skin from top to bottom was dark and radiant, emitting light; six months passed, his eyes went from sharp to extremely peaceful.

Seven months, eight months, nine months, ten months...

Ge Zhen was no longer anxious, no longer bored, no longer panic. His spirit and temperament changed drastically, and all his sharpness disappeared without a trace, and replaced by the simplicity of Chinese soldiers.

Every move, every word, a smile, even gives people a feeling of shyness.

That’s right, it’s just this feeling. All the island guards here in the motherland are always so shy when they smile.

They may not be able to explain any great reasons, but they know that the territory under their feet needs to be measured and the territorial waters of their motherland need to be defended.

Ge Zhen was transforming. He stayed here for a whole year, guarding the isolated island alone for a whole year, from showing his sharpness to being simple and unpretentious.

One layer of degeneration and another layer of strength is a waste of time for others to stay here for a year, but for him, this is the core of the tempering of the warrior - the limit mode.

The first step in extreme mode: extreme loneliness.
