Into Unscientific Chapter 617

Chapter 617 From today on, there will be no more sacrifices (Part 1)

 At this moment.

 Looking at the mountains of bags of wheat in front of him, Xu Yun was not the only one who felt shocked and fascinated.

 Lao Guo, Qiao Caihong, Mou Fangdong

 Except for Xia Min, the director of the 17th branch factory who had been in contact with wheat for the past ten hours, everyone else's eyes burst out with an inexplicable brilliance.

This gleam of light reflects the Chinese people's closeness to food or farming and harvesting since ancient times, but more emotions are due to

 They saw hope.

 After a while.

Lao Guo couldn't help but take a few steps forward and quickly came to a bag of wheat on the left side of the crowd.

This bag of wheat has been torn open with a fist-sized hole. Judging from the fact that it has not been sealed again, it should be specially reserved for inspection by the leaders of the base factory - after all, if everyone has to open it, Damn, that would be too troublesome.

 Lao Guo put his hand into the bag and fiddled with it a few times, and quickly picked out a handful of golden seeds with shells.

Lao Guo carefully placed the handful of seeds in his hands, held it in both hands, put it in front of him reverently and smelled it carefully.

A dry but rich wheat aroma instantly filled his nostrils, making Lao Guo's heart tremble again.

at the same time.

Xia Min, the director of the 17th branch factory, also brought Xu Yun and others to Lao Guo. Seeing this, he took the initiative to explain:

“Director Guo, as you can see, these are the winter wheat shipped by Mao Xiong.”

“The first batch of winter wheat they delivered to the capital this time totaled just over 20,000 tons. The quota given to our base by the capital was 5% of the total, which is a full 1,000 tons.”

“The standard weight of a bag of wheat in our country is 50 kilograms, but the specifications at Mao Xiong are somewhat different from our standards. One bag is a little over 39 kilograms—which can be understood as 40 kilograms in calculation.”

“So the wheat shipped this time totals more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000 bags. Even though the weight will decrease after shelling, it will be enough for us to eat until spring.”

Hearing this, Lao Guo raised his brows with joy:

 “One thousand tons? That much?”

Yesterday, although Lao Guo did not have any injections to take like Xu Yun did, he did not go to bed in a hurry until three o'clock in the morning because of a certain topic, so Li Jue and others did not deliberately disturb Lao Guo.

 In addition, this batch of Dongmai was kept highly confidential before it arrived at the base, so Lao Guo did not know much about the grains—such as their transportation routes and their total weight.

 So after learning from Xia Min that this batch of grain amounted to 1,000 tons, Lao Guo's joy was not fake.

  Mentioned it a long time ago.

 Due to the different nature of the work they undertake, different base personnel have different residences, allocated wages, and food shares.

 Among these three groups of people, scientific researchers have the highest rations.

Whether they are experts, team leaders or college students who have just arrived at the base, the monthly ration quota for each person is 26 kilograms—not 26 kilograms of staple food, but 26 kilograms of all food.

 The monthly ration for workers is 22 kilograms.

 The guard force is 21 pounds.

 All the food here includes Huangyu fish caught in Qinghai Lake and soup made from elm leaves.

That's right, soup is also counted as a quota, so this shows how inflated this number is.

 Generally speaking.

 The pure staple food quota for a scientific researcher is about 400 grams, which means that the base consumes about 4 to 5 tons of staple food a day.

Now a large number of new employees and experts have arrived at the base, and the daily consumption has increased to about six tons.

 That is about 180 tons per month and about 550 tons per season.

 At the same time, the human body consumes a lot of energy in winter, so this number should be increased.

 After all, the base has a lot of things to do, so you can't just huddle in bed, you have to work every day.

 At present, the base has an extra 1,000 tons of grain.

 It may not be enough to survive two winters. After all, the weight of wheat husks cannot be ignored, but it is really not stressful at all to survive one winter - even the coldest winter.

At the same time, wheat bran can be used to feed black soldier flies. The larvae of black soldier flies can provide protein, and the adult corpses can be used to feed donkeys.

 In other words, theoretically speaking, there can be one more donkey in the base!

This is no longer a matter of ecological recycling, this is an engine.

“By the way, Director Guo.”

 Then Xia Min remembered something again and said to Lao Guo:

"According to the resolution of the leaders at the base's executive meeting, starting tomorrow, there will no longer be a step difference in the ration quotas for the base guards, ordinary workers and scientific researchers. In other words, the three will be in the same bracket."

“In addition, the monthly ration line for each person at the base has been increased to 30 kilograms, which can be increased by about half a lava of steamed buns every day.”

 “What? Increase it to 30 pounds?”

Hearing Xia Min's words, Lao Guo was shocked again. He turned his head and stared at Xia Min:

“Director Xia, are you telling the truth?”

Xia Min nodded slightly, and even though she was inside the building, she still pointed to the location of the factory office. People these days are very sensitive to directions:

"Of course it's true. The on-site factory office should be drafting a notice. Maybe you can hear the notice during lunch."

 After receiving Xia Min's confirmation, Lao Guo's heart was suddenly filled with a huge sense of happiness:

 “That's great, that's great.”

Beside Lao Guo, Xu Yun's face was also very excited.

Those who have eaten in fast food restaurants should all know this.

The weight of a bowl of rice in later fast food restaurants is about 150 grams. A person's daily intake of rice alone is about 600 grams, not to mention other meats and vegetables, which adds up to two or three kilograms for a whole day. Very normal.

 But it's different now.

Nowadays, the diet structure of the scientific researchers at the base is basically 300 grams of staple food (rice or steamed buns) + 300 grams of elm leaf soup + 100 grams of wild vegetables + 50 grams of meat (usually ham or mutton) + one egg. In another week, they can probably Eat a fish.

 The quota for front-line workers is even smaller, let alone the comrades stationed in the army.

 So now the base has increased the ration line to 30 kilograms a month, and this increased ration is basically staple food.

 For many employees, once the news spreads about how many kilograms of staple food can be eaten in a month, the base will probably sing a red song all day long.

　After half a minute, Lao Guo gradually calmed down.

 Then he glanced at Xia Min and said to her:

“Director Xia, how much winter wheat is there that has not been moved to the warehouse?”

Xia Min turned her head and looked outside, thought for a moment, and said:

"There are probably three to four thousand bags. We have more than a hundred workers. Counting the time for transporting, unloading and resting, we should be able to finish it in two hours."

Lao Guo then nodded with relief:

“Director Xia, thank you for your hard work.”

 According to the information Lao Guo learned.

Xia Min and others have been unloading the goods since the train arrived at the station, and they have been working for at least eight or nine hours continuously.

To know.

 Xihai Province, where the base is located, is famous for its high altitude. Working at high altitudes consumes much more physical energy and energy than in plain areas.

However, Xia Min seemed very calm about this. She saw this dark-skinned **** who looked a bit like the later teacher Zhang Guimei and waved her hand indifferently:

“It's not hard work, Director Guo, you are researching nuclear weapons at the front, and we can only help you with the logistics.”

“After all the goods are unloaded, the garrison comrades will post a few more sentries here and prohibit all open fires. Safety should still be guaranteed.”

 Lao Guo nodded slightly.

"correct."

After the official affairs were almost settled, Lao Guo suddenly thought of something:

“Director Xia, how is Engineer Wang doing lately?”

The Engineer Wang that Lao Guo mentioned is Xia Min's lover, Wang Liming, who is now living in another special care ward.

Although Lao Guo was previously responsible for theoretical research, some parameter settings of fluid mechanics definitely required regular contact with the experimental department, so he also had several interactions with Wang Liming.

Maybe we are not friends, but we still have the friendship of saying hello to each other when we meet.

 “Old Wang.”

Hearing Lao Guo's words, Xia Min's expression did not change, but a trace of solemnity still flashed in her eyes:

“He is still unconscious recently. Although Dr. Lin and others have been giving Lao Wang medicine, the wound infection is still a bit serious.”

“After all, the technology and conditions for amputation surgery are still too immature, and I don't know if Lao Wang can survive this.”

 Say it.

Xia Min couldn't help but sigh quietly, and there was a slight tiredness on her whole body.

  Her husband was seriously injured and had his leg amputated and was in a coma. As the person in charge of material storage or the housekeeper of the base, Xia Min had to take care of many tasks. No one could understand how much psychological pressure this thin woman was carrying.

But what Xia Min didn't notice was.

 Xu Yun, who had always been silent on the side, had a thoughtful expression on his face.

 Wound infection after amputation?

This disease seems a bit familiar.

Of course.

 No matter how backward this era is, tetracycline hydrochloride has been developed, so the allicin that Xu Yun used in the Northern Song Dynasty obviously has no use.

Although allicin is relatively easy to prepare, it mainly blocks alcohol dehydrogenase, acetyl-CoA synthase and acetate kinase, and its effect is still less than that of standard tetracycline hydrochloride.

but

Although allicin is useless, another natural extract seems to be worth a try.

It's just that the extraction technology of that thing is obviously much higher than that of allicin, and it is almost the same as the paclitaxel currently being produced by the base, so Xu Yun did not take it out immediately after much hesitation.

 After all, making this thing public now will only make everyone anxious, and it will not help Wang Liming's condition at all.

 Only when Tu Luming and others can successfully extract paclitaxel will Xu Yun's next idea become feasible.

Xia Min is obviously an extraordinary woman. When Xu Yun hesitated, she quickly calmed down and began to talk about business to Lao Guo:

“By the way, Director Guo, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you.”

“This time, in addition to the winter wheat from Mao Xiong, there are also some non-staple food supplies.”

“For example, the organization also sent some canned beef from Mao Xiong, but the quantity was not large, about 20 boxes.”

“There is also a batch of parts from Germany, but I don't know what they are for.”

 “Parts from Germany?”

As soon as Xia Min finished speaking, Xu Yun couldn't help but interrupt her:

“Director Xia, where are those parts?”

Hearing this, Xia Min pointed in another direction and explained:

“I was taken away by the comrades from the Sixth Branch Factory as soon as I got off the bus, but Director Li asked me to inform you about this.”

 Within half a second.

 Xu Yun and Lao Guo turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other with great understanding.

 Sixth branch factory?

Within the 221 Base, the three words Branch Six can only represent one location, and that is the detonation test site.

Coupled with the known information about parts and components from Germany, the origin of this batch of materials taken away by the Sixth Branch Factory can be easily revealed.

They are exactly the linear oscillation detection components produced by Hochtief that Xu Yun has longed for!

Just for the sake of confidentiality, the base did not tell Xia Min their specific identities. This is not because they don't trust Xia Min, but because the direction Xia Min is responsible for has no intersection with these components.

 For this important equipment, one less person knows about it, which reduces the risk.

  In other words.

These linear oscillation detection components produced by Hochtief Company have reached the boundary of the Sixth Branch Factory at this time.

 After realizing this.

 Xu Yun and Lao Guo's breathing suddenly became rapid.

 “Director Xia.”

 Then Lao Guo looked up at Xia Min, considered it and said:

"Director Xia, I have seen the winter wheat. Now Xiao Xu and I have some matters to deal with, you see."

Xia Min nodded with understanding. She was indeed a strong person, but that didn't mean she was incapable of understanding the world:

"Director Guo, if you have anything to do, just go ahead and go. I just have to hand over some procedures here."

“If you have a chance next time, you are welcome to visit our warehouse again—if nothing else, the winter wheat will be shelled after a while and then handed over to the donkeys for grinding.”

Upon seeing this, Lao Guo took the initiative to shake hands with Xia Min, said a simple courtesy, and left in a hurry with Xu Yun and others.

The distance to the detonation test site is a little farther than that of the 17th Branch Plant, but leaders of Lao Guo's level usually have vehicles in the base, so the distance is not too far.

What?

You asked Xu Yun how to get into that little jeep?

Ahem Lao Guo learned new knowledge after his trip to Qinghai Lake. He took a stretcher with him when he went out. Whenever he had to take a car, he just put Xu Yun's stretcher in the back seat.

If it weren't for Xu Yun's strong protest, Lao Guo would have thought of covering him with a white cloth and fixing it to the roof of the car.

 Half an hour later.

With the sound of brakes, the jeep Lao Guo was riding in stopped steadily at the entrance of the Sixth Branch Factory.

Lao Guo and Mou Fangdong then worked together to move Xu Yun back to the wheelchair, and they walked straight forward.

 At present, the base's detonation test site has five workstations, which are five small buildings with one floor height and an area of ​​several tens of square meters.

The underground of these small buildings have been hollowed out into test sites of different sizes, which can carry experiments of different magnitudes.

However, it is different from the day when the test site was completed.

 Today's test sites, like other important areas of the base, must undergo complex inspections before entry.

 It's a coincidence.

The person in charge of the safety inspection of the detonation test site today is surprisingly Lao Zhou, whom Xu Yun had met in the theory department.

So.

 Xu Yun once again enjoyed the treatment of having his hair pulled, his face teased and his pants pulled off.

 After all checks are correct.

 Lao Zhou just waved his hand and put Xu Yun and others into No. 2, the largest test site station.

The main body of Workstation No. 2 is located more than ten meters underground. As soon as Xu Yun and Lao Guo walked out of the lifting platform, a strong and reluctant voice came to their ears:

“Isn't it too wasteful to use such good components like Lao Liu in our test site? Why don't you let me and my second boy be responsible for the observation?”

　　This person's voice has just finished speaking.

 Xu Yun and Lao Guo were stunned at the same time. After recovering, they shouted in unison:

"no!"

Note:

Let me explain, it's not that I haven't written 8,000 words today, I've written half of it, and now I suddenly have the inspiration to code an extra chapter. The extra chapter is initially set to be 10,000 words, and it will be released in the middle of the month. If the monthly ticket can exceed 3,500 before 12 o'clock tomorrow night, I will add 5,000 more words

 In addition, the fan title event is open this month. There are 30 places available. Just leave a message in the comment area.
