Chapter 519: An acquaintance meets an acquaintance
As the senior leader of the current base.
Whether it is Lao Guo or Li Jue, they have to deal with so many things every day.
Although Xu Yun's identity is special.
But at the moment, he is in the category of 'talent' at best, and the risks have not been eliminated yet, far from the level where he needs to be worried about all the time.
So after making a conclusion.
Lao Guo and Li Jue put their work focus on other things.
Li Jue took out a pack of cigarettes from his body, patted his hand, and carefully took out two cigarettes.
He held one in his mouth and handed the other to Lao Guo:
"Here, take it, the cigarettes from northern Shaanxi have a strong smell."
Lao Guo took the opportunity to take the cigarette and picked up a box of matches from the table.
After a while.
Two streaks of white mist suddenly rose from the room.
"By the way, Lao Guo, I have something to tell you."
Li Jue first took two deep puffs from the cigarette holder, exhaled a breath of turbid air after passing through his lungs, and then said to Lao Guo:
"The sideline construction team won't be able to go to the second living area to build dormitories the day after tomorrow. When you go back, do the work of the comrades. I'm afraid everyone will have to live in tents for a while longer."
"Looking at the current situation... I'm afraid I'll have to stay there for at least another month and a half."
"?"
Lao Guo was smoking happily. Hearing this, he was stunned and asked subconsciously:
"The construction team is not going? Lao Li, what do you mean?"
"Isn't this something that the Standing Committee discussed a month ago? Why did it suddenly change at the end of the day?"
My classmates who were enemy agents in their previous lives should all know this.
Due to the remote geographical conditions and confidentiality reasons of Factory 221, the raw materials required for many facilities in the factory are basically obtained locally...or dug.
The soil in plateau areas like Xihai Province is loose, has weak soil cohesion, and is doped with many minerals.
Therefore, houses built with this kind of soil are prone to various problems, and their lifespan is much shorter than that of normal buildings.
This is the situation in the second living area where Lao Guo and the others live.
Probably started last year.
Some dormitory buildings in Living Area 2 began to have serious cracks.
Some of the cracks are in better locations, they look scary but actually do little damage to the structure.
But some cracks are very dangerous.
They appear on load-bearing columns or ceilings, directly forming dangerous buildings that cannot be inhabited at all.
in this case.
Many comrades in District 2 had no choice but to move out of their dormitories and temporarily live in large tents used for disaster relief.
With seven or eight people or even more than ten people crammed into one room, the conditions are very difficult.
Fortunately, the base leadership has been paying attention to the relevant situation and has been trying to solve it.
a month ago.
After complex negotiations, approvals and coordination.
The base finally received a batch of materials for repairing dilapidated buildings.
At that time, relevant discussions were held by the base standing committee.
In the end, it was decided to set the day after tomorrow as the day to repair dilapidated houses, and let the construction team under the sideline team go to the second district to repair dilapidated houses, solving this housing problem in one fell swoop.
Lao Guo remembers it very clearly.
The leaders at the meeting at that time unanimously approved the proposal. Why is it that something unexpected happened now that things are getting close?
Looking at Lao Guo with a surprised look on his face.
Li Jueyouyou blew out a puff of white smoke, shook the cigarette butt on the ashtray, and said:
"Lao Guo, not only the construction brigade, but also the fishery brigade where we went to Qinghai Lake to fish, will also be suspended for the next two days."
"The fishery brigade also needs to stop work?"
This time.
The surprise on Lao Guo's face became more intense. He looked at Li Jue with confusion and asked:
"Lao Li, what are the sideline teams going to do?"
Li Jue looked at him and then looked out the window, his tone calm with a hint of determination:
"According to the instructions from the 'Hometown', starting from tomorrow, except for the sideline teams of animal husbandry and construction, all other sideline team members at the base will go out to collect weather information, in order to...
"Control the weather conditions and changing trends around the base to the greatest extent possible."
"The construction team will make every effort to build a detonation test site in the base based on the dynamic results fed back. The three workstations must be completed within two months."
Lao Guo was stunned for a moment.
Although he had guessed that something unexpected had happened, he never imagined that it was because of this.
Let most of the sideline teams terminate their missions and go out to collect weather data, with the intention of using human means to predict the weather to ensure the construction of the detonation test site?
be honest.
This thing is theoretically feasible, but the actual probability of success is very low.
When Lao Guo was studying across the sea, he had come into contact with some meteorological information, not to mention that he himself was an expert in fluid mechanics.
He knows it very well.
The effect that manpower can play in weather forecasting is quite limited.
Today's weather forecasts across the sea are basically calculated by computers.
Manual surveying and mapping is a very cost-effective method. You may send a bunch of people out, but you will still get wrong information in the end.
without any exaggeration.
As long as people like the base sideline team take action, 99% of them will not succeed.
But on the other hand.
Lao Guo also knows one thing.
That is......
There are countless think tanks in the "family" and their strategic vision spans thousands of miles, so the person who talks about things in the family must understand this better than he does.
In other words....
There must be a reason at home for the detonation test site to be built as soon as possible, otherwise it would be impossible to do such a wasteful move.
Think of this.
The surprise on Lao Guo's face immediately disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented solemn look:
"Lao Li, what happened 'at home'...or internationally?"
Lao Li glanced at him, returned to the table, took out a telegram, and handed it to Lao Guo:
"Look at this."
Lao Guo didn't say anything, but took the telegram and read it.
at the same time.
Li Jue also introduced aloud:
"Lao Guo, according to the news from 'home'."
"If nothing else happens, Berlin will soon be divided into two parts by a wall, and the international situation will most likely become further tense."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "At the same time, Suizong of Mao Xiong just met Sakharov not long ago. They plan to develop a weapon called 'Tsar King' with a yield exceeding all known weapons."
of nuclear bombs.”
"We are very passive under all kinds of pressures, so even though we know that the success rate of manual meteorological mapping is very low, our 'family' still can't wait."
Lao Guo Muran.
After a while.
He then handed the telegram back to Li Jue:
"I see....."
He just wondered why "home" was in such a hurry. It turned out that these things happened outside.
Everything Li Jue said was a major event that may affect the global structure, and judging from Lao Guo's perspective, these things may not be over yet...
Therefore, it is normal for the family to react.
The biggest non-theoretical problem currently facing the base is the construction of the detonation test site.
Mentioned before.
The detonation test site is a cold explosion site and needs to withstand huge shock waves.
It is not necessarily the most delicate area in the base, but it must be the area with the most complete requirements.
The entire detonation test site cannot encounter any weather disturbance during the pouring process, but this is obviously an impossible expectation.
So the idea of ‘home’ is this:
Use wind-shielding facilities to shield the impact of wind and sand as much as possible, and climate warnings mainly warn of large-scale sandstorms and showers. (Note: This is something mentioned in the memoirs of Mr. Wang Kaixiong, director of the base meteorological center at the time)
Although this weakened requirement is still difficult, it is at least within a category that manpower has a chance to solve.
Think of this.
Lao Guo no longer questioned, but raised his head and said to Li Jue:
"Lao Li, how should climate observations be carried out?"
Li Jue had just finished smoking a cigarette and was trying to get another one.
But after thinking about it, he still couldn’t bear it, so he put the original cigarette butt in his mouth and savored it:
"A group of ten people, each group has three soldiers plus a comrade from the meteorological center as standard, and the other six people assist in surveying and mapping."
"The number of groups is probably in their early 40s, and the farthest group has spread to 150 kilometers away. The public statement is that the mining area is exploring for mineral veins, and the peripheral warning system along the way will fully cooperate."
"At least try to ensure... the accuracy of the 24-hour weather forecast around the base."
"Forty groups..."
Lao Guo frowned slightly.
Although Li Jue’s request is very ‘humble’.
But let alone forty groups for this kind of thing, the success rate of four hundred is not high - four thousand is about the same.
But soon.
Lao Guo sighed again.
Even if the success rate is not high, there is nothing we can do about it. In the current situation, we must do it this way, even if there is a 99.99% chance that it will result in nothing.
It's so hard...
........
The news told by Li Jue was a direct instruction from 'home', and it would automatically take effect without the need for a base meeting to vote.
Therefore, after the notification was completed with Lao Guo.
Li Jue directly contacted various other departments.
Lao Guo quickly said goodbye to Li Jue and went to the second living area to make relevant announcements with the employees.
The next morning.
The major sideline teams that were ready left the factory and started running towards their respective targets.
A total of 44 sideline teams were dispatched this time, with 447 approved personnel.
20 of them are responsible for statistics of periodic...that is, relevant data for the whole day, so that the meteorological center can make calculations.
The remaining 24 teams set off in transport trucks carrying telegraph machines:
Their 'mission' is to observe more distant areas and send the data back via telegraph.
Of course.
The content of the telegram was encrypted in advance and was mainly related to ores.
If we follow the normal historical trajectory.
These 44 teams will continue to observe weather data for 62 days, and ultimately end this temporary mission with a less than ideal result.
As for the detonation test site, it will not be completed until three months overdue.
If it weren't for an explosive casting engineer named Liu Zhendong who invented the Mikhailov pot like a cheat, the progress of explosive refining and detonation test site would miraculously be kept at the same level.
The rabbits' plan to accelerate the construction of the detonation test site this time will be a regrettable failure.
But just as they cannot know the original direction of history, what Li Jue and Lao Guo will never know is...
This time, a person who does not belong to this ancient history appeared in Factory 221.
.........
Inside the staff hospital.
After Lao Guo left, Xu Yun fell into a deep sleep again.
At the same time in the next few days.
He basically repeated the process of applying medicine (mainly donkey hair), sleeping, and being in a daze, which was extremely boring.
But I don’t know if it’s the donkey hair that really has the miraculous effect, or if it’s the halo that’s behind it.
In short, after the first day, Xu Yun's condition began to gradually recover, and the situation was getting better every day.
Of course.
The improvement and recovery here refer only to a trend.
Overall, Xu Yun was still very weak - except for his eyes, mouth, and neck, the only things he could move were a few fingers on his left hand.
What?
Why can't I move my right hand, you ask?
Of course, the left hand is normal...Ahem, the mysteries of the body are too complicated, there is no need to delve too deeply into it.
Other than that.
I don’t know if it’s because the base is busy with business.
Lao Guo, who had a very pleasant conversation with Xu Yun when they first met, has been missing these days, so much so that Xu Yun was wondering if something went wrong in some aspect of his 'interview'.
that's all.
In this delicate psychology, seven days passed by in a flash.
Morning of the eighth day.
"Comrade Han Li, it's time for a check-up."
Hearing the voice ringing in his ears, Xu Yun couldn't help but slowly opened his eyes.
as expected.
Same as a week ago.
Lin Yu, wearing a white coat, and a little nurse named Rainbow stood beside his bed on time.
Although Xu Yun is still semi-paralyzed at the moment, he has regained some control over his face. When he saw this, he couldn't help but smile at Lin Yu:
"Director Lin, Comrade Caihong, good morning."
"Well, Comrade Han Li, good morning."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin Yu still had an expression that showed no fluctuation, and did not respond too enthusiastically to Xu Yun's greeting - of course, it is possible that
It's because in a disfigured state, Xu Yun's smile was uglier than crying...
Then Lin Yu lifted the quilt as usual and examined the injuries on Xu Yun's chest and lower limbs.
I saw him taking a cotton swab soaked in alcohol and tapping a certain part of Xu Yun's body a few times:
"Comrade Han Li, do you feel anything here?"
Xu Yun shook his head:
"No."
"What about here?"
"Hiss...it hurts a bit."
"What about here?"
"It hurts too."
"Any other feelings?"
"...it's a little itchy."
A few minutes later.
Lin Yu covered the quilt back.
Just when Xu Yun thought that the elder was going to ask the nurse to stuff him with donkey hair as usual, another instruction from Lin Yu suddenly came to his ears:
"Comrade Caihong, it seems that the patient is recovering well so far, and there are no wounds infected by bacteria."
"Let's do this. I'll arrange for a few people to move him to a wheelchair, and you go out with him to bask in the sun - ultraviolet rays will synthesize cholesterol in the human body into vitamin D and promote the body's absorption of calcium ions. For Comrade Han Li
Such patients are beneficial."
"Of course, it can't take too long. Let's stay in a half-sun and half-shade place for half an hour and take a look."
Xu Yun, who was on the bed, was stunned when he heard this.
Eh?
No need to eat donkey hair?
Ah bah... can we go out now?
But if I remember correctly...
Isn’t it easy to get pigmentation after going out after a serious burn?
But soon.
Xu Yun figured out some reasons - it was still a matter of timing.
If in 2023, when modern medicine is more mature, burn patients may not be allowed to be released so soon.
But at this time, domestic... or international medical development is far behind that of later generations, and many operations will not be as rigorous as later generations - for example, the specific concept of human pigments will not form a relatively complete subject until 1970.
Woolen cloth.
Therefore, even a doctor like Lin Yu, a doctor of Western medicine, only knew that sun exposure could promote the synthesis of vitamin D, but did not know that it would accelerate the deposition of pigment.
But this is obviously a good thing for Xu Yun, so naturally he will not correct Lin Yu's mistakes.
Immediately afterwards.
Lin Yu found several soldiers on duty at the hospital, carefully transferred Xu Yun to a wheelchair, and handed it to the young nurse Qiao Caihong to push him out of the ward.
At the same time, it is from a protection point of view.
Lin Yu also arranged for a soldier to accompany them to avoid accidents on the road.
Mentioned before.
As a factory-affiliated hospital in a secret base, the structure of the 221 Staff Hospital is actually very simple:
A main building with a wall outside the building.
Therefore, the "sunbathing" and "walking" mentioned by Lin Yu actually refer to outside the hospital - there is a small forest in the south of Factory 18, which is the "recuperation area" of the Workers' Hospital.
After all, there are more than 10,000 people in the entire factory, and seriously ill patients will always be admitted to the hospital every once in a while.
These patients need to recover after illness, so the configuration of the sanatorium is essential.
Then under the guidance of Qiao Caihong.
Xu Yun's wheelchair slowly drove out of the hospital gate.
This is also the first time that Xu Yun has traveled back to the present to see the scene outside the ward and feel the atmosphere of this era in person.
In fact, in later generations, Xu Yun once visited the Atomic City in Jinyintan.
After all, this is a well-known scientific research site in China.
However, the Atomic City at that time had already become a memorial and scientific and educational attraction. The atmosphere was not lively, and many of the equipment had been dismantled, leaving only a huge museum.
True.
Although the attraction in 2023 will be equally exciting.
But compared with this real era, there is still an insurmountable gap.
Walk all the way there.
In front of Xu Yun appeared one after another workers or cadres with obvious atmosphere of the times:
Most of the workers were wearing blue overalls, protective gloves, and a towel hanging around their necks.
Their bronzed skin is exposed, and their muscles may not be well developed but they look very powerful. Some people can still see impressions or scratches from various instruments on their hands.
Most of the cadres have slicked-back hair, gold-rimmed or black-framed glasses, Chinese tunic suits, and striding strides.
When meeting an acquaintance, they often turn around while continuing to walk forward and say, "Hey, Comrade So-and-so, I'm going to do some errands at such-and-such place, see you later!".
The big loudspeakers on the roadside were playing songs with the characteristics of the times. The sound of the loudspeakers was a bit sharp, but it was inexplicably shocking.
Just looking at these scenes, Xu Yun felt the urge to get involved.
To know.
This is still the scene in the main factory area of Branch 18.
Compared with other branches, Branch 18 is more politically centered, and the working atmosphere is much worse.
And just when Qiao Caihong was pushing Xu Yun to the sanatorium.
Suddenly, three workers passed by them in a hurry.
These three workers are all young, probably in their early twenties. Each has a flat shave and they are talking about something as they walk.
Perhaps because he had not yet recovered from his injury, Xu Yun only heard one sentence: "The wind and sand are too strong."
At the same time, the pace of this group of people was much faster than Xu Yun's wheelchair, and they surpassed Xu Yun in a short while.
I don’t know if the painting style of Xu Yun’s wheelchair is a bit special.
When one of the workers passed by Xu Yun, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at their group.
Results are quick.
His eyes passed over Xu Yun and fell on the little nurse Qiao Caihong, and he let out a light sigh:
"Hey, Comrade Rainbow?"
Qiao Caihong was quietly pushing his wheelchair, but when he saw this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at him.
After seeing the other party clearly, he blinked:
"Brother Zheng?"
It was obvious that the two men knew each other.
"It's really you, Comrade Rainbow."
When he met an acquaintance, a young man named Zheng Tao stopped and greeted Qiao Caihong with a smile.
Then he thought of something again, turned around, pointed at the two short-skinned young men beside him and said:
"By the way, let me introduce you. These are my co-workers in the sideline team. This is Zhang Gongding and this is Zhou Shaoping."
"???"
Xu Yun reacted when he heard the first name.
But the moment I heard Zhou Shaoping.
He suddenly raised his head.
He looked at the two inch boards standing next to Zheng Tao.
Damn it?
This can be considered as an "acquaintance" of mine meeting an old acquaintance???

Good news, grandma is fine. Bad news, after a day of hard work, my biological clock has reset to the underworld, and I have begun reincarnation.
