Baishan Forest Ecosystem Positioning Station of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In layman's terms, it is the Changbai Mountain National Field Research Institute. On this day, the institute welcomed a new guest, er, a researcher.
"Hello, Comrade Xiao Xu, welcome to your arrival!"
After checking his ID, the director, who was in his sixties and wearing thick glasses, gently shook Xu Guangling's hand and said, "I hope you will have a pleasant time working and studying here!"
"Director, the purpose of my coming here is to conduct an on-site investigation of the medicinal plant resources in Changbai Mountain. I hope to be able to access some of the relevant research materials in the institute. In addition, I also hope that the institute can provide me with supplies to go into the mountain."
Xu Guangling said straight to the point.
"This, no problem, of course no problem!" After hearing Xu Guangling's request, the director only pondered for a moment, then responded readily, and continued: "Xiao Xu, you are right to ask for supplies, it's just about you.
The clothes you wear are not up to par. Change them quickly, otherwise you won’t be able to get out of bed due to the cold tomorrow!”
In this way, Xu Guangling temporarily became a temporary investigation researcher at the institute.
And the origin of his identity is not complicated.
How to get into the mountains?
This is a question Xu Guangling had considered before.
It's definitely not possible as a tourist, as there are too many restrictions.
Simply going into the mountains as a "savage", not to mention anything else, will not solve the problem only in terms of diet.
With his current appetite, no matter how much dry food he brings, it won't be enough for a few meals. Moreover, it is winter now, and the food that can be found in the mountains is quite limited. Occasionally, or even every now and then, it can be used as an adjustment or supplement. If it is used as
The only source of food, then Xu Guangling would just wait to starve himself to death.
So after thinking about it for a while, Xu Guangling tentatively dialed the "customer service number".
This is purely a matter of hitting three poles if there are dates but no dates.
But unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise. Xu Guangling made the call at around ten o'clock in the morning, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, a brand new certificate was delivered to him.
Faced with such awesome power, what else could Xu Guangling say?
"The vegetation in Changbai Mountain can be divided into five areas based on altitude. The foot of the mountain is a broad-leaved forest area, which is also the area with the richest plant resources. An altitude of 1,000 meters is a broad-leaved and coniferous mixed forest area. These two areas are also
The main growing area of Baoye ginseng in Changbai Mountain."
"At an altitude of 1,000 meters, there are no broad-leaved trees and only coniferous trees grow."
"At an altitude of 1,800 meters, even cold-resistant coniferous trees cannot survive. In this area, there are only birch trees and a very small amount of spruce, so we also call it the birch forest area."
"Further up, at an altitude of 2,000 meters, there are high temperatures, strong winds, blizzards, clouds and fog. Under the influence of these factors, basically no trees can survive, but only short shrubs, lichens, moss and the like."
A young researcher named Liu Zishan in the institute pointed to the miniature model of Changbai Mountain on the table and gave a brief introduction to Xu Guangling.
After he finished talking about the business, he said to Xu Guangling: "Brother Xu, thanks to you, there may be a welcome party in the evening, and we hard-working people can have a good time again!"
To say it's a welcome to the new year, it actually means that the food is slightly richer than usual.
In fact, they are stewed domestic pork (not wild boar) with dried day lily, stewed dried tofu with dried dandelion, stewed small yellow croaker with dried horse vegetables (horse snake vegetable, purslane), etc. Well, these are considered special dishes, what else?
It's no different from the home-cooked food in the city.
As for the taste of the food, it is measured by the standards of Chef Xu, um, Chef Xu, haha.
But he did feel the passion.
Also, how can a person who lives in a bitter cold zone with mountains all year round have no enthusiasm? Only enthusiasm can dilute the poverty here, and without enthusiasm, you cannot stay in such a place.
Just like ginseng, the "treasure of Changbai Mountain", it grows in the bitter cold, but its properties are warming and tonic, and the same goes for the equally famous snow lotus.
In humanistic or sensational terms, this is exactly what the world gives pain to, and it gives the world songs.
Xu Guangling settled down.
Many of the books in the institute are not available in libraries outside, let alone professional research materials.
Reading these more professional and boring materials, Xu Guangling felt quite good. Professionalism means simplicity and precision, and simplicity and precision, in Xu Guangling's eyes, is beauty.
However, this information was only enough for Xu Guangling to read for four days.
To be more precise, it was three and a half days. After three and a half days, all relevant information had been absorbed by Xu Guangling.
When human beings have words, when words are used for descriptions, when descriptions break through the family and the range of ethnic groups begins to circulate on a wider scale, the progress of human civilization shows an accelerating trend, and the acceleration is getting faster and faster.
I really don’t know how much knowledge an ordinary human being will have in a thousand years.
However, there is another problem here, that is, for ordinary people, no matter how many resources they have, the amount and speed of absorbing them are extremely limited.
But these two problems are not problems in front of Xu Guangling now.
From the time he came to Changbai, plus the four days he entered the institute, in just over half a month, Xu Guangling was sitting on a sea of books, and what he absorbed were the research results of countless people who had spent so much effort!
But this is only the first step.
Not even the first step, but just the prerequisite.
On the fifth day after arriving at the institute, Xu Guangling began to walk into the mountains. After declining the company from the institute and agreeing to call if he had any questions, Xu Guangling stepped into the vast mountains alone.
Changbai Mountain.
The word Changbai can sum up this mountain. The mountains have snow lines all year round, and the snow in the mountains almost never melts all year round.
At this time, the temperature at the foot of Changbai Mountain is about minus five degrees, and if you climb up, the temperature will get lower and lower. Or, as long as a heavy snowstorm comes, even at the foot of the mountain, the temperature will drop to minus two or three degrees Celsius.
Ten degrees.
Xu Guangling is no longer in a single shirt.
In order to avoid being too shocking and causing the people in the institute to regard him as a monster, he put on thick underpants and a thick shirt, which was almost bulky. But in fact, in the eyes of the people in the institute, he was still too thin.
.
"He has just arrived. He will soon know how to dress." This is almost the unanimous view of the staff in the institute.
But this is actually normal, almost everyone who just comes here does this.
But the fact is that after going up the mountain, Xu Guangling quickly removed his thick lining and returned to a single suit.
What feeling did the heavy clothes bring to Xu Guangling? It was not solidity or warmth, but suffocation. It was not associated with suffocation, but there was always a feeling of unsmooth breathing - the breathing of the pores all over the body.
After leaving the research institute and walking less than five or six miles, what appeared in front of Xu Guangling was a dense and vast jungle.
