He pulled out the equipment and found an iron clothes drying rack. He cut the iron wire with a pair of vise jaws and made the simplest dragon-seeking ruler on the spot to determine the direction and continue moving forward.
With the Xunlong Ruler in hand, even if the geomagnetic field here is good and bad, there will be no obstacles for the rest of the journey.
At three o'clock in the afternoon on July 21st, I turned across the valley to the plateau of the vast plains, and finally saw the unique reflected light of metal in my telescope.
The unique plateau meteorological observation station is already vivid in my mind.
Following the ruts that appeared and disappeared, we staggered towards the final destination.
In the distance, a shrill wolf howl resounded throughout the valley.
One flew from the end of the field of vision.
I'm not afraid of wolves, but with the windshield completely destroyed, I still pulled out one just in case something unexpected happened.
When the wild wolf broke into view, my heart tightened and I immediately pulled the bolt of the gun.
"Tibetan Mastiff!"
Even through the telescope, the size of the Tibetan Mastiff exceeded my expectations.
Rather than saying Tibetan mastiff, it would be more appropriate to call him a lion.
This is the most ferocious tiger-headed Tibetan Mastiff on the snowy plateau.
The mouth is wide and the nose is short, shaped like a crouching tiger. The body is completely black and the melon seeds are golden.
It was more than one meter long and almost the same size as Heifei, especially his thick hair, which made one's heart palpitate just looking at it.
It has two very eye-catching hair spots on its head. One black and one red.
The black one is iron, and the yellow one is golden red.
Among plateau Tibetan mastiffs, this is an extremely rare iron-coated gold.
Ordinary herdsmen cannot afford to raise this most precious Tibetan mastiff. Even if they obtain one, they will deliver it to the temple and hand it over to Rinpoche as soon as possible.
I don’t know since which year, Tibetan Mastiffs came out of the snowy land together with Dzi Beads and Thangkas. This species, dubbed the miraculous dog, has become popular all over the country in just half a year, and its price has risen from the initial few thousand to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions.
"boom!"
The huge gunshot of a rifle pierced the sky and suppressed the terrifying roar of the tiger-headed Tibetan mastiff.
After pushing the door open and getting out of the car, I fired three more shots into the sky until I forced the tiger-headed Tibetan Mastiff back.
Although the iron-clad gold roar is ferocious, the soft ears hanging on its head give people a sense of humor.
As if he had seen the power of a rifle, the iron-clad man couldn't help but retreat, his fluorescent eyes staring at me, as if he were a life-or-death enemy.
Tibetan Mastiffs have a strong sense of territory and are capable of fighting off packs of wolves. They are quite hostile to outsiders like me.
"Cough cough cough..."
A violent and low coughing sound came from the short weather station building, and a black figure hunched over and slowly opened the door: "No. 10, come back..."
The voice was deep and hoarse, like a dying man moaning out of breath.
The iron-clad gold No. 10 kept giving off warnings, staring at me as I got into the car and drove to the weather station, following me the whole way.
"Fangzhou. Child teacher. Change of classes."
As soon as I parked the car, I smelled a foul odor.
After getting out of the car, I turned to the man in front of me.
This guy is almost as dark as me. Plateau red is more than ten times worse than mine.
The entire face, except for the areas covered by sunglasses, had plateau red spots in the form of meshes and strips all over the body.
The other party didn't take a shower for who knows how long, and it was very smelly. The knotted hair was covered with dirt and dust, making him look like a savage.
He looked quite bad.
The death line between the eyebrows has appeared, and there are signs of cracking.
Judging from his coughing and rough breathing, this man's cardiopulmonary function was severely damaged.
This is a chronic disease caused by long-term living in plateau areas.
"good……"
As soon as the word "good" came out only half of the time, the guard started coughing.
He nodded at me. The guard gasped feebly, licked his lips and refused to follow me.
Instead of talking to him, he pointed feebly at the room.
In the dusk, the watchman shouted at me: "Dead dog!"
"Don't come in!"
"roll!"
The No. 10 Tibetan Mastiff behind me bared its teeth and growled at me. After being scolded by the guard, he reluctantly took two steps back and turned around again to growl.
I knew the guard wasn't scolding me, but I was still a little embarrassed.
After being depressed for about ten seconds, I pushed open the door with a heavy package on my back.
The room is only about twenty square meters, divided into three small rooms with different functions.
Kitchen plus dining room, office plus warehouse, bedroom plus warehouse.
There was barely an inch of free space in the three small rooms, and they were all filled with supplies, equipment and food.
Aside from the smell in the room that is worse than the station guard, the hardware facilities here are not bad.
It is not easy to build such a steel-structured bungalow weather station on this plateau with an altitude of more than 6,000 meters.
A single shipment can kill someone.
What's more, there are those meteorological equipment and facilities outside. I don't know how they were transported here, let alone how much they cost.
To be honest, building a weather station here is much more difficult than an Antarctic scientific research station.
Amidst the hard breathing of the station guard, he and I successfully completed the handover.
There was almost no communication throughout the whole process, no courtesy, hugs and the most basic handshake and salute.
It seems that everything is so natural!
The Station Keeper had symptoms of aphasia, but it was not severe. There is No. 10 outside to accompany me, and I can just talk to it on weekdays, so I don’t feel lonely.
After seeing the office, the station keeper Zeng Jian took me through the bedroom to the most important gas station warehouse of the weather station.
The gas station warehouse area is several times larger than the office building, and it is also divided into three areas. Read the book
Nearly a hundred bottles of helium are neatly placed in the largest area. The small warehouse next to it contains latex balloons. Dozens of wooden boxes on the far right are all filled with radiosondes.
These things also constitute the most valuable existence and reason of the Hoh Xil Weather Station.
Sounding balloon!
At this stage, there are more than 7,000 sounding stations around the world, and their distribution covers almost all corners of Blue Mercury.
Although there are more than 2,000 satellites flying in space at all times, the weather forecast analysis and research on Blue Mercury still mainly relies on the sounding balloon invented in the 19th century.
One is high quality and low price, and the other is accurate data.
