Vol 2 Chapter 932: Inspection base

After staying in the launch site command and control center for a while, Wu Hao bid farewell to everyone and came out. As the launch approached, everyone was under a lot of pressure, so he didn't want to affect everyone anywhere.

The sky was getting dark, and a white weather balloon quickly flew into the sky.

This is the mid-to-high air phenomenon observation balloon of the weather station in the base. Related observation and sensing devices are tied under the balloon to observe and record mid-to-high altitude meteorological information, such as temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, and other meteorological data.

The launch is near, so the flying density of this kind of weather balloon is relatively high, basically one every hour. In the hours before launch, the density of this observation will increase to ensure that the command center weather support team can grasp real-time weather information in the launch site and surrounding areas in real time.

The people who went to the base held a working meeting with the leaders of a project and briefly listened to their recent work and project progress.

Then, I went to the restaurant for a meal with some employees. Wu Hao then returned to the hotel in the base, which is the guest house, to rest.

In fact, although he was a little tired, he did not immediately rest. Taking advantage of this matter before going to bed, he has to deal with some work matters, and then read some books, mainly manage operations, and charge himself.

At 6:30 in the morning, Wu Hao was woken up by the alarm clock and washed a bit. He then went to the staff restaurant on the base with his entourage who had been waiting for a long time.

Today is the launch day and an important day in the base, so today’s food is very rich, and the standard is twice the usual.

Wu Hao picked up two big meat buns, a bowl of sweet potato polenta, an omelet and a few small vegetables.

Steaming big meat buns that are bigger than an adult's fist have a lot of stuffing and thick gravy. When you bite them, the juice bursts. That kind of taste, that kind of taste, makes people feel refreshing.

Sweet potatoes are small yellow-hearted sweet potatoes shipped from the Qinbei Loess Plateau, and corn is dry corn grown in the local sandy land.

Both of them grow in areas with aridity and long hours of light, so the sugar content is relatively high. Even without sugar, it is very sweet. And the graininess of corn and the softness of sweet potatoes shocked people.

After eating breakfast Meimei, take a short break. Seeing that it was still early, he was accompanied by the person in charge of the base to inspect the infrastructure and material logistics of some bases.

The base is mainly heated by boilers, and the fuel used by the boilers is local coking coal. Although in northern China and most cities in the north, this coking coal heating method has begun to be phased out. But in the northwest, this is still an important heating fuel in the local winter.

Of course, in order to reduce emissions as much as possible, they use the latest coking coal boiler technology, which can emit less exhaust gas to the outside world, which is very environmentally friendly.

Although there are solar power plants around the base, after the winter, the intensity of sunlight is weak, so the power generation is not enough to maintain the normal electricity use of the base, but it is not enough if it is used for heating.

As for natural gas, it’s not that they don’t want to use it, but that it is far away from the city. If natural gas is used, it needs to be transported back and forth, and the storage conditions of natural gas are relatively harsh, so using coking coal as a fuel is the best choice.

Secondly, there is another reason, that is, the winter climate here is relatively changeable, and extreme weather such as heavy snowfall may occur. Snow tends to be very late, leading to a complete interruption of ground transportation.

As a result, their land transportation was basically cut off, and the materials could only be transported by air. Therefore, they will store the coking coal for the entire winter before the arrival of winter to cope with the emergence of such extreme weather conditions.

In addition to these, the most important and precious resource next to this desert is drinking water. To this end, they built hundreds of kilometers of drinking water pipelines.

These pipelines will bring river water hundreds of kilometers away and gradually form a lake. And around this lake, many trees are planted.

However, it is now in the cold winter, the plants are withered, and the lake has frozen into thick ice.

This artificial lake is the water source of the base, so it is very well protected and the water quality is very good. Therefore, I heard from the person in charge that a lot of birds are attracted here in autumn, and there are more and more animals around.

Some employees have encountered wolves while working in the field, and they are still a large wolf pack. Fortunately, there were a lot of them in a group, so the wolves fled away after seeing them.

To this end, Al-Qaida manually inspected the surrounding area and organized base security personnel to conduct inspections. Later, the security department of the base also applied to the local forestry police for shotguns to deal with possible dangers.

According to local experts, it is difficult for wolves to survive in this vast Gobi. They usually follow the migration of animals~www.readwn.com~Sometimes they may run for hundreds of kilometers just to catch a prey.

The presence of wolves here shows that the ecological environment here is improving, especially the formation of the lake, attracting many small animals that need water, and naturally attracting wolves.

Local protection stations often come here to squat to check the relevant animal conditions.

In the next step, with the continuous introduction of water sources, the area of ​​the artificial lake will be further expanded. And around this artificial lake, an ecological oasis will be built here, which will further improve the environment here

Then, they came to the base material storage logistics support warehouse. This is responsible for the operation of the entire base and is the foundation of the entire base here, so it is very important.

The entire warehouse also adopts standardized design, and the material storage is very abundant. The warehouse stores the food needs of the entire base for one month and eggs, poultry, meat and vegetables for about a week.

Some storage-stable vegetables, such as potatoes, onions, cabbage and other winter vegetables, can be stored more.

In addition, there are emergency food reserves. This type of food is mainly military food rations, including various cans, self-heating rations for individual soldiers, compressed biscuits, vacuum foamed bread and so on.

This kind of emergency food reserve will only be distributed to everyone at the moment of extreme crisis, such as extreme weather, heavy snow and road closures, and materials cannot be imported.

In fact, this is what Wu Hao requested, and what he worries most is this aspect. If this happens, it will have a great impact on their reputation.

At that time, no matter who in the base posted a few pictures on the Internet and said a few words, it would attract huge waves. After all, setting up a base in such an inaccessible place is difficult for everyone to understand.
