Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Weather Stations

Gu Changtian's younger brother is Gu Changkong. Gu Changkong felt unwell when he arrived at Wangwu Mountain, and left early.Now that Gu Changtian heard his younger brother's voice again in the mountains, he couldn't help being shocked.Even though Huang Qianshan had never met Gu Changkong, he would feel a little hairy when he suddenly heard a voice from a low-quality speaker in an inaccessible mountain forest.Gu Changkong kept yelling: Get out of the way, get out of the way, the sound of the broadcast is like a player that is about to run out of battery, it sounds very awkward.Gu Changtian yelled a few times into the woods, but no one answered, only the rustling of leaves.

Cai Minmin usually has a tricky mouth, but at this moment she became afraid. She forced herself to hold her breath, and then asked, "Why is the voice in the sky... Could it be a ghost?" As soon as Liang Xiaoyu heard that there was a ghost, she immediately asked nervously: "Is there really a ghost?" Huang Qianshan doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, let alone God. He said: "We haven't had the blessing to bump into ghosts. I'll go to the forest and see who is playing ghosts here." Gu Changtian then said, "I'll go with you." Lao Yue dug out a bright flashlight from her backpack, and took out a Swiss Army knife. She ordered, "Dali, you stay by the campfire. Don't let the fire go out. Minmin and Xiaoyu also stay to help fuel the fire."

Hao Dali patted his chest and promised: "I will definitely burn the fire to its fullest. Even if it rains, it will not go out. You can rest assured." After hearing this, Huang Qianshan thought to himself whether he should go there without worry, it sounded like he was cursing someone, Hao Dali's EQ was really low enough.Lao Yue and Gu Changtian each prepared a Swiss Army knife, Huang Qianshan only took a wooden stick, and the three of them walked slowly towards the forest ahead.The forest is airtight, with vines growing between the trees, and the bluish-gray monster mist is erratic, and it is impossible to see what is hidden inside when the flashlight shines in.Before setting up camp, Hao Dali used a stick to fiddle with the edge of the forest for a while, in order to drive away the birds and animals hiding inside, but he didn't expect that there would be something inside that could broadcast the radio.

Huang Qianshan was eager to know what was hidden in the forest, so he walked ahead and cleared away the obstacles. He uprooted all the vines and wild thorns, and a trail was soon opened.The radio sound lasted for a while, but after Huang Qianshan and the others walked into the forest, the radio sound disappeared.Seeing Huang Qianshan walking in front, Lao Yue handed over the Swiss Army Knife in her hand, wanting Huang Qianshan to hold it for self-defense.Huang Qianshan didn't need this thing, so she pushed the Swiss Army Knife back. Lao Yue had already figured out Huang Qianshan's temper, and she saw that Huang Qianshan refused to accept the knife, so she didn't force her anymore.

Huang Qianshan knew that Lao Yue had good intentions, so he said softly, "Thank you, I'm not used to this thing. But...you and Brother Changtian are behind me, don't point the knife at me, in case you fall down and get back If you pounce forward, you won't stab me." After hearing this, Gu Changtian smiled wryly and said, "You still have the mind to joke around." Lao Yue put away the knife, and then made a quiet gesture: "Hush!" At this time, Lao Yue went around Huang Qianshan and walked to the front. The flashlight in her hand shone on a dilapidated concrete room, and the sound of the radio came from the room.The cement house was wrapped in rattan, and the surface was covered with black mud from leftover leaves. If it wasn't for the strong flashlight, they would have thought it was a big rock.To be on the safe side, Lao Yue touched a few stones on the ground, and then threw them towards the concrete house.Huang Qianshan and Gu Changtian felt that this method was feasible, so they followed suit one after another. The three of them smashed many stones at once, and they didn't stop until there were no more stones on the ground.

After being bombarded by stones, if there were beasts hidden in the cement house, they would have been stimulated and ran out, so the three of them stopped worrying and walked over with strides.They didn't take two steps before they saw a rough log that was higher than the concrete house. The lower end of the rough log was covered with wild fungi, and there was a simple weathervane at the top of it, and a shutter box full of blue and black mold spots in the middle.The shutter was not closed, and there were a few thermometers inside, but the pure glass had become dirty due to the long-term erosion by the moisture of the mountains and rivers.

Gu Changtian asked incomprehensibly, "What is this room for?" After seeing these things clearly, Huang Qianshan said doubtfully, "This should be a weather station." Lao Yue said with certainty: "Yes, only the weather station can get these things." Thinking that the cement house was a weather station, the three of them felt more at ease. Gu Changtian didn't forget to call back a few times to tell Hao Dali their situation in the forest.In fact, decades ago, there were weather stations in many mountains and forests, but weather stations were usually attached to a farm or forest farm and would not exist alone.Today's weather forecasts use modern technologies such as satellite cloud images and weather radars, but decades ago, to make weather forecasts in this area, they relied on the recorded data observed by local weather stations, and relied on the superior provincial and municipal meteorological stations to issue radio reports According to the news, refer to the large-scale weather situation, and make your own forecast based on experience.

Lao Yue and the others did not find out that there was a weather station in the mountains of the West Mountain, so they guessed that the weather station belonged to a military research institute.Under normal circumstances, if there is a military research institute hidden in the mountains, the military will keep it strictly confidential. Even if you have lived nearby for a lifetime, you may not know that there is such a thing in the mountains.The weather station in front of me was already empty, and I don't know why they evacuated.Huang Qianshan looked at the cement house and felt that something must have happened when the people from the weather station left, otherwise the thermometer in the shutter box would not have been forgotten.

The broadcast sound came from the concrete house of the weather station, but unfortunately, when people approached, there was no movement, even the sound of insects stopped.The three breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly walked around half a circle, and found a half-closed door.The three of them filed in one after the other, and they were greeted with a strong stench, so they covered their mouths and noses for fear of inhaling the poisonous gas.There were only a few chairs and tables in the room, but they were decayed and all were lying on the ground.Thick green mud poured into the room, and the plants sprouted and grown in it, but because they didn't get enough light, they all hung feebly, and the color was mainly yellow.

Huang Qianshan felt that the smell in the air was not right, so he reminded in a low voice: "Be careful, the room smells of blood." Lao Yue and Gu Changtian nodded, indicating that they understood. They searched carefully in the house and found some workbooks that recorded data, but the paper was rotten and it was impossible to recognize what was written on the paper.There was a calculator half hidden in the green soil on the floor of the house, Huang Qianshan picked it up, feeling more and more ominous in his heart. You know, decades ago the abacus was the most commonly used calculation tool, and engineers used slide rules, and then there were four-digit math tables. In the late 1970s, when students bought calculators when they were in college, they had to apply to the Public Security Bureau for import, otherwise they would not be able to buy them at all.Therefore, the calculators at that time were very precious. If the personnel of the weather station were evacuated safely, they would never leave such precious calculators behind.

Gu Changtian was still digging around in the room, trying to find out the source of the broadcast, but he suddenly yelled: "There is a snake!" Lao Yue and Huang Qianshan were startled by Gu Changtian's voice, Huang Qianshan muttered, didn't he have celandine stuffed on his body, if there was a snake, he should have run away, maybe it is a thousand-year-old snake spirit, so he is not afraid of celandine.Huang Qianshan didn't believe that there were snakes hidden in the house. He looked up suspiciously, and there were more than a dozen small snakes with green scales piled up in the corner of the house, but they all had big wounds on their bodies, and they were all dead. The bloody smell came from This pile of dead snakes came out. Huang Qianshan pointed at the dead snake, and cursed angrily: "What pervert, he killed the snakes and piled them here, at least as a mountain delicacy to sacrifice to the Wu Zang Temple, now they are all stinky, how can we eat them?" Lao Yue said cautiously: "The wounds of these snakes seem to be tooth wounds. I'm afraid this is a den of animals." Gu Changtian clicked his tongue and said, "The beasts still hoard food, they have all learned how to do it these days." Seeing this, Huang Qianshan thought to himself, this beast has learned to hoard food, and it might really become a spirit. A spirited beast is not easy to deal with. Maybe it is not afraid of the smell of herbs, so he asked Lao Yue and the others to find the source of the sound quickly. When you're done looking, leave as soon as possible, lest you run into the beast head-on.Huang Qianshan looked at the pile of dead snakes, and wanted to know the origin of this beast, but no matter how fierce it was, it was impossible to drive away all the people at the weather station—or kill them all.Beasts are afraid of fire, and the people at the weather station are not unaware of this. There may be other reasons for the people at the weather station to leave in a hurry, or the people at the weather station didn’t leave at all, but died in the mountains. Although the cement house is not big, it is full of weeds, and it takes a lot of time to check it carefully.Lao Yue raised her flashlight and searched step by step. Finally, she found a speaker from which the broadcast was broadcast.There is a wire attached to the speaker, the plastic sheath of the wire has come off, but it is not a wire.There is no one living in the mountains for hundreds of miles, so it is natural that electricity will not be brought to the mountains, not to mention that no one lives here, who will pull the wires here. Lao Yue said in amazement: "There is no wire in the mountain, why does the horn sound?" Gu Changtian didn't understand either, he said in confusion, "Could it be that you really encountered a ghost?" Huang Qianshan glanced at the trumpet in Lao Yue's hand, he smiled, and said: "Miss Lao and Brother Gu have a lot of money, and they collect all antiques and rare treasures. This kind of reed horn can't get into your eyes, so naturally you don't know what it is. Universe." Gu Changtian asked modestly, "Brother Huang, tell me, what's so magical about this speaker." Huang Qianshan said that the reed horn is probably extinct today, so it's not surprising that you don't know it.The reed horn consists of a magnet with two magnetic poles, a hollow coil in the middle, and a piece of iron is installed in the center of the coil. This piece of iron is the reed. One end of the reed is fixed, and the other end is connected to the horn paper cone.When the coil passes an alternating current, the reed is magnetized and vibrates under the action of an external magnetic field. The impedance of the current speaker is 8 ohms, and the impedance of the reed speaker is as high as 10,000 ohms. The impedance is high, so it can still transmit effectively in several kilometers of iron wire. People in the 1960s played mineral radios. They set up an antenna on the roof, and the water pipe was used as the ground wire.The radio is a tuner composed of coils and visible capacitors. It uses phosphate iron ore as rectifier and detector, and directly drags the reed horn to play the sound. It uses electricity from heaven and earth, without batteries and power amplification. The equipment is more environmentally friendly. Huang Qianshan also said that the reed speakers were used for broadcasting in the previous production brigade. When he was a child, under the guidance of an educated youth, he playfully modified the broadcasting circuit of the production brigade.At that time, Huang Qianshan stole more than a dozen batteries and connected them in series, touched the broadcasting line, and used a reed speaker as both a microphone and an earphone, with both input and output devices. Shout, really got them a phone without a phone. After hearing this, Gu Changtian asked suspiciously: "So, it's not someone playing the radio, but someone talking on the other end of the reed speaker?" Lao Yue also asked wonderingly: "Didn't Changkong go back? How could his voice appear in the reed horn?" Huang Qianshan came to his senses, and said, "The reed horn makes a sound, and a few batteries can handle it. There is no battery here, and maybe there is a weather station nearby. How about we go find it?" Gu Changtian immediately agreed. He was anxious to know his brother's safety. He also called Gu Changkong's cell phone just now, but it was always turned off, so he was restless.Huang Qianshan felt that Gu Changkong might not have gone back, but found an excuse to enter the mountain alone. Perhaps the threatening letter and the loss of medicines were related to Gu Changkong.Although Gu Changtian was worried about his younger brother, he did not forget to take the reed horn away. Huang Qianshan immediately said that he had five or six of these things, and if Gu Changtian wanted them, he would give them all to him.As for the current trumpet, I'm afraid it will become unlucky if it is stained with yin, so I'd better throw it away. Lawyer wasn't interested in the reed horn, so she agreed to throw it away, too.Gu Changtian casually threw the reed horn into the corner, unexpectedly throwing the Swiss Army Knife in his hand too.Huang Qianshan stood at the innermost part of the room, without further ado, he was going to help Gu Changtian retrieve the Swiss Army Knife.Huang Qianshan walked to the corner, and before he could push the weeds away, he stepped on something with his right foot.Because I stepped down too fast, I didn't notice that there was something in the haystack, so I didn't have time to retract my right foot, and the things on the ground shattered with a click. Huang Qianshan hurriedly called Lao Yue and Gu Changtian, Lao Yue held up the flashlight and pointed it at the things on the ground, Huang Qianshan immediately felt sick, he shook his right foot, and said disgustedly: "What is this? "
