Chapter 932: Inspecting the Base

After staying in the command and control center of the launch site for a while, Wu Hao came out. As the launch approached, there was a lot of pressure on everyone, so he didn't want to affect everyone. It was already getting dark, and a white weather balloon was quickly flying into the air.

This is a mid-altitude meteorological observation balloon of the weather station in the base, and there are relevant observation and sensing equipment tied under the balloon, which is used to observe and record meteorological information at medium and high altitudes, such as temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind speed, etc.

The launch is approaching, so the release density of this kind of weather balloon is relatively high, basically one every hour. This observation density increases in the hours leading up to the reflection to ensure that the command center meteorological support team has real-time weather information in and around the launch site in real time.

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

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

In fact, although there were some classes, he did not rest immediately. Taking advantage of this little thing before going to bed, he also has to deal with some work matters, and then read some books, mainly manage the operation, and recharge himself.

At half past six in the morning, Wu Hao was woken up by the alarm clock, washed up, and then went to the staff restaurant in the base with his entourage who had been waiting for a long time.

Today is the launch day, and it is also an important day in the base, so today's food is very rich, and the standard is twice as much as usual.

Wu Hao picked up two large meat buns, a bowl of sweet potato polenta, a piece of egg cake cabbage, and a few butterfly side dishes.

The steaming big meat bun, which is bigger than an adult's fist, has a lot of skin filling, and the meat is juicy, and the juice bursts when you bite into it. That texture, that taste, people can't help but feel refreshed.

Sweet potatoes are the kind of small yellow-hearted sweet potatoes that are transported from the Loess Plateau in northern Qin, and the corn is dry corn that grows in the local sandy land.

Both of them are grown in areas with drier and longer sunlight periods, so they are relatively high in sugar. Even without sugar, it's already very sweet. And the graininess of corn, as well as the softness of sweet potatoes, make people feel shocked.

Meimei finished her breakfast and took a break. Seeing that it was still early, he, accompanied by the person in charge of the base, went to inspect the infrastructure and material logistics support of some bases.

The base is mainly heated by boilers, which are fueled by local coking coal. Although this method of coking coal heating has begun to be phased out in northern China and most cities in northern China, in the northwest it is still an important local heating fuel in 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 still very environmentally friendly.

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

As for natural gas, it's not that they don't want to use it, but it's far away from the city, so if you use natural gas, you need to transport it back and forth, and the storage conditions of natural gas are harsh, so using coking coal as fuel is the best choice.

Secondly, there is another reason, that is, the winter climate here is more frequent, and there may be heavy snowfall extreme weather. Snow accumulation is often very late, resulting in a complete disruption of ground traffic.

As a result, their land transportation was basically cut off, and supplies had to be transported by air. So they store a winter's worth of coking coal before winter arrives in case of such extreme weather conditions.

In addition to these, in fact, one of the most important and valuable resources next door to this desert is drinking water. To do this, they have built hundreds of kilometers of drinking water pipes.

These pipes bring water from hundreds of kilometres of river water here, and gradually form a lake. And around this lake, a lot of trees are planted.

But now it's winter, the plants are yellow, and the lake has frozen into a thick layer of ice.

This artificial lake is the source of the base's water, so it is very well protected and the water quality is very good. Therefore, according to the person in charge, it attracts a lot of birds in autumn, and there are more and more animals around.

There are already employees who have encountered wolves while working in the field, and it is a large wolf pack. There were more of them in the group, so the wolves avoided them after seeing them.

To this end, Al-Qaida personnel surveyed the surrounding area and organized patrols by the base's security personnel. To this end, they also applied to the local forestry police for a shotgun to deal with possible dangers.

In this vast Gobi, it is very difficult for wolves to survive. They generally follow the migration of animals. Sometimes it can be hundreds of kilometers to catch a single prey.

The appearance of wolves here shows that the ecological environment here is improving, especially the formation of the lake, which attracts many small animals in need of water, and naturally attracts wolves.

The local conservation station also often comes here to check the animals.

In the next step, with the continuous introduction of water sources, the area of artificial lakes will be further expanded. Around this artificial lake, an ecological oasis will be created here.

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

The whole warehouse is also designed with standardization, and the material storage is very rich. The warehouse is stocked with a month's worth of food for all the staff of the entire base, as well as eggs, poultry, meat and vegetables for about two weeks.

Winter vegetables like some shelf-stable vegetables, such as potatoes, onions, and cabbage, are stored more.

In addition, there are emergency food reserves. This kind of food is mainly military food rations, including all kinds of canned food, individual self-heating rations, compressed biscuits, vacuum foamed bread and so on.

This kind of emergency reserve food will only be distributed to everyone at the moment of extreme crisis, such as extreme weather, heavy snow blocking roads, and supplies cannot enter.

In fact, this is also what Wu Hao requested, and this is what he is most worried about. If that happens, it will have a big impact on them.

At that time, no matter who in the base says a few words on the Internet, it will attract a monstrous wave. After all, setting up a base in such an inaccessible and boundless place is incomprehensible to everyone.
