Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Analysis

There are heaven and earth in the weather data, and Huang Qianshan can't be sure all at once, so he plans to drag the iron box back to the camp, and then study it slowly.However, Gu Changtian wanted to find Gu Changkong, and refused to return to the camp right now.They called Gu Changkong's cell phone, but it was always turned off, and they couldn't reach anyone at all.Lao Yue looked distressed, she thought they had gone too far and could no longer see the flames of the camp, if they searched further in the mountains, they might not find them, but they would lose themselves first.

Gu Changtian found that no one responded to the decision to continue looking for someone, so he said, "Then you go back first, and I will look for it myself." Lao Yue naturally refused, she said: "Changtian, Changkong will be fine, let's go back to the camp first and then discuss the long-term plan." Gu Changtian couldn't listen at all, he said irritably: "What else can we come up with, Changkong must not have returned to Beijing, he doesn't know what he's up to?" Lao Yue patiently persuaded: "Changtian, listen to me first, the sound of the reed horn is unreal, not necessarily from the sky, let's call back tomorrow and ask, it's midnight now, everyone's mobile phone will be turned off."

Gu Changtian was silent for a while, but he didn't give up. He insisted, "No, I have to look for it. If you want to go back, go back first." Huang Qianshan has been silent by the side. It is not easy for outsiders to interfere with the couple's affairs, so he has been standing by the broken window, staring at the dark mountains outside the house.At this time, the sky and clouds outside the mountain changed suddenly, and the moonlight was completely collected.In an instant, a strong mountain wind blew up, and the raindrops were as big as stones, falling from the sky in bursts.Seeing the menacing mountain rain, Huang Qianshan couldn't help worrying about Hao Dali and his group, because if it rained heavily, the bonfire would definitely be extinguished, and the wild beasts wouldn't be afraid without the fire.Although the beasts will find places to shelter from the rain when it rains, it is not ruled out that some beasts will come out for a walk in the rain.

Lao Yue and Gu Changtian were still arguing, Huang Qianshan pointed out the window and said, "Brother Gu, let's talk about finding someone tomorrow, it's going to rain." Gu Changtian was stunned for a moment. He walked out of the house and found that the wind was already raging outside. He was immediately dejected and stopped talking.Lao Yue thoughtfully said that when the heavy rain stopped, she would definitely go to Gu Changkong with him, and the most important thing now was to call Hao Dali and others over.Because the location of the camp is at the foot of Shiwu Mountain, who knows if the rain at night will cause mudslides on Shiwu Mountain, for the sake of safety, it is better to move the camp.Although this dilapidated house is a bit dirty, it is barely enough to shelter from the rain, and it is surrounded by open spaces and far from the mountain, so this house is currently the best camp.

So Gu Changtian called Hao Dali, Cai Minmin and Liang Xiaoyu, while Huang Qianshan and Lao Yue cleaned the house and lit a fire in the house.Cai Minmin complained all the way, she had already entered a dream, but was woken up, disturbing her dream, how could the anger in her heart be extinguished.After tossing all night, everyone was tired, but Huang Qianshan wanted to understand the secret of this million data, so he took the initiative to undertake the task of night duty.Lao Yue and Gu Changtian were not in the mood to sleep, so they stayed on night watch with Huang Qianshan.Cai Minmin didn't show courtesy to Huang Qianshan, and fell asleep right away. When Hao Dali heard that he was no longer on duty, he also snored and fell asleep.Liang Xiaoyu was tired all day, she was going to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep because of Hao Dali's snoring, so she could only sigh over and over again.

Lao Yue sat by the fire, and she saw that Huang Qianshan was worried, so she asked: "Mr. Huang, is there any problem with these weather data?" Huang Qianshan was browsing the weather data one by one. Hearing Lao Yue's question, he looked up at Lao Yue and Gu Changtian, and said, "These data seem normal, but looking at them together, it seems that something happened here. something that has an impact on the environment.” Gu Changtian had been worrying about Gu Changkong's loss of contact. After hearing Huang Qianshan's words, he immediately recovered his spirits: "Brother Huang, what do you mean... there is a problem with these data?"

Huang Qianshan looked down at the data again, and said, "Why don't people in the mountain village know that there is a weather station in the mountain? That's the problem." It should be known that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the meteorological agency has always been organized according to the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the military establishment. It is an active soldier and is under the leadership of the Meteorological Bureau of the General Staff of the Military Commission.However, after several reforms, the meteorological agency was once under the administration of the Agricultural Bureau and the Water Conservancy Bureau. Until now, the independent Meteorological Bureau is no longer a military institution, and there is no need to keep it secret, let alone keep it secret from the people.Huang Qianshan looked at the weather data and found that the earliest record time of the weather data was March 17, 1958, and the latest time was November 28, 1972.The data records during this period are not coherent, some parts are broken for several years, some parts are broken for days or weeks, but these data are in the same handwriting.

Huang Qianshan believes that the one million data cannot be recorded by the same person from 1958 to 1972. These data were obtained from previous records and then copied into his own, just like Lao Yue's Maldivian manuscript.Because the search was incomplete, faults appeared in some parts, and the data was incomplete.Huang Qianshan noticed that in the earliest meteorological data, the concentration of atmospheric dust is very high, the soil and plant roots contain a lot of sulfur, and the phosphorus content in the water is also high. The temperature rises, the rainfall drops sharply, and even acid rain occurs.In the later period, these data gradually returned to normal.

After Gu Changtian heard what Huang Qianshan said, he immediately asked: "The air, soil and plants contain a lot of sulfur. Could it be that there was an explosion in the mountains?" Lao Yue also took a few pieces of meteorological data in her hand. She said: "It cannot be an explosion. The explosion will not affect the environment for so long. These effects have lasted for at least ten years, unless it is the detonation of radioactive weapons." Huang Qianshan has participated in many conferences as a translator, including five UN Climate Conferences. His meteorological knowledge is comparable to that of experts.It's a pity that Huang Qianshan gradually got tired of these pressures and all kinds of things happened in his life, which finally made him return to Guangxi, willing to be a small translator.Even so, these qualifications did not bring Huang Qianshan any benefits. His bad temper caused him to be fired many times, and eating almost became a problem.

Closer to home, there is a secret hidden behind these meteorological data. After reading it, Huang Qianshan confirmed that there used to be a thermal power plant in the mountain.Many thermal power plants did not pay attention to environmental protection in the early stage, so the exhaust gas was not desulfurized and dust removed, and the circulating water was not dephosphorized, which caused the environment in the mountains to be severely affected.Now, there are many news reports that the number of people suffering from cancer in some villagers near thermal power plants has increased significantly, and a large part of the reason is related to the strong radiation from thermal power plants.Huang Qianshan told them that these data may not be comprehensive, and that this place must have been irradiated at that time, and perhaps the animals and plants in the mountains were affected at that time.

After hearing this, Lao Yue asked, "You mean, there used to be a thermal power plant in the mountains?" Huang Qianshan nodded, and he said: "The people in Yugong Village said that there used to be a village in the Ximai Mountains, but later people went to Loukong. If I guessed right, the people in that village are probably related to the thermal power plant. For some reason the thermal power plant was shut down, and the people in that village were evacuated." Gu Changtian was confused, and he asked suspiciously: "Then why is there a thermal power plant in the mountain, and why don't the people in Yugong Village know that there is such a thing in the mountain?" Huang Qianshan frowned, and said: "It may be that the mountain once wanted to build a military base. The thermal power plant was used to generate electricity, but it was stranded. There are many reasons for the stranded. It may be a change in military policy, or... ..." Lao Yue answered and said, "Or something special happened in the mountains, so I had to change my original intention." At this time, Gu Changtian looked outside the house, the night rain in the mountains was making a loud noise, and the rainwater drifted into the dilapidated house, but he felt as if he heard a strange sound.Gu Changtian listened carefully, but couldn't hear any sound, except the sound of rain and wind.Gu Changtian laughed at himself in his heart, he must be too tired, that's why he was nervous and his hearing was disturbed.Gu Changtian pulled his thoughts back, and continued to analyze the weather data with Lao Yue and Huang Qianshan, instead of listening to the strange sounds outside the house. Lao Yue saw Gu Changtian glanced outside the house just now, so she asked: "Changtian, what are you looking at?" Gu Changtian quickly replied: "It's nothing, I just want to know when the rain will stop, otherwise tomorrow will be difficult." Lao Yue turned the fire up, and then said: "This rain is coming fast, and it won't last long. Don't worry, I will definitely find Changkong tomorrow." Gu Changtian pretended to be indifferent and said, "He's such a big man, it's fine if he doesn't look for him, he can still get lost. But... since you say that the weather data is to record the pollution changes produced by thermal power plants, where do the people from the weather station go?" Why didn’t you even take the data with you?” Huang Qianshan didn't understand either. He said: "The people at the weather station may be the ones who wiped the ass of the thermal power plant. They disappeared and no one worked hard to find them. They didn't even take away the hard-earned data." Lao Yue said intently: "The person who recorded the data may have died, otherwise they will definitely come back to get the data. The one million data cannot be recorded just by recording." Huang Qianshan sighed, he said: "I don't know what trouble they have encountered, I'm afraid the mountain is not peaceful, we have to be careful in everything." While talking, Gu Changtian was distracted to listen to the voices outside the house again. Gu Changtian's ears were very sharp, and he always felt that there were other voices in the night rain, but he couldn't hear them every time he listened carefully.Lao Yue thought that Gu Changtian missed his younger brother, so she said that she would follow Gu Changtian to find Gu Changkong.Huang Qianshan saw that Gu Changtian had been looking outside the house, so he also took a look outside the house. It was pitch black outside, and there was nothing to see, but the sound outside the house was a bit strange. Lao Yue said to Gu Changtian: "The rain is about to stop, and it is gradually getting smaller. It will definitely be sunny tomorrow." As the sound of the rain gradually died down, Gu Changtian heard a clearer voice, and he said with certainty, "Xiaoyue, Brother Huang, listen, are there any sounds in the mountains?" Lao Yue pricked up her ears and listened carefully, then said hesitantly, "Is it the wind?" Gu Changtian frowned and shook his head, he said, "It's not the wind, listen carefully, it's a bit weird. Brother Huang, did you hear it?" Huang Qianshan also heard it just now, but there was a wind blowing in the mountains, and he always thought it was the sound of wind. Now that the wind and rain have calmed down, he realized that there are other sounds in the mountains besides the sound of wind and rain.The torrential rain retreated violently, and the sound of rain and wind disappeared, but the sound of running water nearby was still there, and the erratic sound outside the house was indistinct, and the three of them couldn't tell what it was. After a while, Gu Changtian couldn't hear any sound, so he let Huang Qianshan and Lao Yue rest, and replaced him on night duty.Although Huang Qianshan felt sleepy, he often stayed up late, and it was common for him to stay up for several days and nights. Now his mind was full of thoughts about the weather station, so he couldn't sleep.Lao Yue was already sleepy, so she didn't politely let her go. Before going to bed, she told Gu Changtian and Huang Qianshan to have a good rest, and they could take turns on night duty. Although Gu Changtian insisted not to sleep, after sitting for a while, Huang Qianshan didn't talk much, so Gu Changtian dozed off, and then fell asleep on the haystack.Huang Qianshan smiled. He picked up the data and looked at it again. The flames flickered on the paper, making him feel as if he had returned to the time when the weather station had not yet become a ruin.Huang Qianshan thought melancholy, what happened to the weather station, where did everyone go, did they really die? At this time, a strong wind blew up in the mountains, and a gust of cold wind poured into the dilapidated house. The small fire was overwhelmed, and it was blown to pieces and extinguished in an instant.The room was plunged into darkness in an instant, Huang Qianshan fumbled for the flashlight irritably, but couldn't find it.Just as Huang Qianshan was cursing the night wind in his heart, a voice popped out from the darkness outside the house, a very strange voice.Gu Changtian woke up suddenly, Lao Yue and Cai Minmin also woke up, Huang Qianshan felt someone woke up, he immediately hissed. It didn't take long for the voice outside the house to gradually take shape, and the people in the room finally heard it clearly. It was a man's laughter.
