Chapter 424: The Observatory
There is a direct road from Snow Creek Castle to the Observatory, and there is a winding road from the Observatory to the foot of the mountain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the stars in the sky are getting brighter and brighter. "Today's moon is also very bright." Carambola held Daming's arm, and he was a little tired from running just now.
"So when we get to the observatory, can we borrow their telescope and look at the night sky?" Cheng Manxiu asked weakly.
"I guess so, after all, it's not good to leave it idle." Da Ming shrugged, to be honest, he also wanted to use that huge instrument to ask the sky.
Not long after the inauguration of the observatory in Tuva, it was also part of the infrastructure of the entire federal subject. When a large number of workers were stationed in the oil field town, with the construction of Snow Creek Castle, the road was built first, and the construction of the observatory along the way was much faster than estimated by the Kizil University.
The group walked through the ridges of the mountain pack and observed the surrounding scenery, with some shrubs growing on the top of the mountain in summer and lush red pines on the slopes. Workers paved a concrete road at the top of the hill, but the road surface looked a little sloppy because of the construction site.
In the observatory's office, a bunch of couples are ready to welcome guests.
Andro and Lilia are in a classroom at Kyzyl University, and they are also a husband and wife. For the construction of the observatory, the university has been sending people to stick to it. Although Kizil University is small, it is a comprehensive university after all. There are not many students studying astronomy in the whole school, and it just so happens that Andro is the teacher of the astronomy department.
He and his wife knew very well that the number of their students was too small, and their post-graduation jobs were probably related to geographical surveying. For a long time, astronomical observation teaching has been through civilian small telescopes, and now the school actually uses quite professional large astronomical telescopes, which greatly stimulated his enthusiasm for research, and even delusionally wondered what if a new planet was discovered?
In July, when school was closed, he also had time to stop teaching, and his wife was also a like-minded person in astronomy. The two of them have a high level of literacy, and it is very good for them to come to this mountain and stick to the observatory.
Of course, they will not forget the person who provided this huge equipment, and the next thing to greet is the investor.
As night fell, the group walked into the walls of the observatory, a huge hemispherical building right in front of the little girl's tiny body.
This is the first time I have seen the observatory, but unfortunately it is still closed. Star fruit stared at it for a while, and the moonlight sprinkled silver frost on it, maybe it would be interesting to look at the moon later, and look at the still sea.
Mr. and Mrs. Andro greeted everyone with a smile, and Lilia prepared dinner.
"Peach Blossom is gone, you can sit under the telescope and watch it later." Da Ming pulled his sister into the house.
In the dining room, Sonia unloaded her backpack and her rifle, and in her opinion, if she added a steel helmet, she would be a soldier. She is a familiar person and a very enthusiastic person. She was sitting at the dinner table screaming hungry.
However, the Chinese pay more attention to the order of host and object, and they must also remain humble at the observatory. Everyone sat down, and the star fruit was a little tired and drooping on the table.
"She's our Besica." Andro asked cheerfully.
Da Ming nodded, "I'm Vladimir, except for Sonya, they are all friends in my country." Today we are here to see our home under construction, and we will stay here for the night. ”
"I know all this, and I welcome you on behalf of my family and Kizil University." Andro Dao.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lilia walked out with a stainless steel vat. The food in this bucket has a charming aroma, a variety of vegetables and beef and mutton are stewed, and cinnamon cloves are added to get a strange aroma. The smell aroused everyone's cravings, and the star fruit sat up violently as if it had been stimulated, and the hara couldn't help but flow out.
Lilia was chubby, and she was even more interested when she saw the bright-eyed Sika. "There are not many ingredients on the mountain, and it is not a tribute to stew a pot of meat to entertain you." She first filled a bowl of star fruit, the food was very hot, and the little girl could only blow it desperately.
"It's better for me to get you and get it." Da Ming picked up the spoon and stirred wildly in his sister's bowl of thick soup, which was the fastest way to cool down.
Lilia shook her head, "If your sweet sister is too hungry, I still have a chocolate cake in the refrigerator here, and if you don't want to eat it for a while, I'll take that out first." She added that the cake was left over from the end of the pre-summer semester and the astronomy students lined up, and only the girls were allowed to eat it.
Da Ming and Shi Jun were very knowledgeable, and they and the two retinues brought by Sonia drank the ups and downs by themselves.
At the dinner table, people casually communicated, and the Andros were very curious about the brother and sister. Pugachev Besika Heavy Industry is the largest industrial enterprise in Tuva, and other peers are also cooperating with it. I won't say much about the war, but I'm afraid that the few of you here are all direct witnesses of the war.
As a peace-loving astronomer, the joy of scientific research is above all else. Now, because the authorities have money, the level of treatment at the state-owned Kyzyl University has skyrocketed.
Tuva is experiencing unprecedented upheaval, with economic development far exceeding that of the rest of Russia, giving both of them the feeling of being better off than life in the Soviet era.
"I'm happy with my life now. Over the years, I have forgotten a lot of things in the Soviet Union, those traitors of the CPSU and the map head who buried their own country, sacrificed the interests of the people to fulfill them, and became oligarchs one by two. ”
Andro drank a little wine, and he regarded the visitor as a friend, so he told him some of the opinions that had been buried in his heart for a long time. For the ordinary people of the former Soviet Union, one by one they seemed to be very angry about the collapse of the country, after all, seventy percent of the people at that time did not listen to the nonsense of the United States.
"The destruction of the Soviet Union was indeed a tragedy, and it is said to be one of the great ******** disasters of this century." Da Ming said instantly.
Carambola didn't want to hear this, but it's a pity that boys seem to be very interested in war and politics, and even Shi Jun interjected a few words.
Andro filled himself with another glass and took a sip, "I thought that the kind of life before was **ism, but it's a pity that "those people" were just wolves exploiting comrades, and the country created by Lenin and Stalin was torn apart by Yeltsin and **********. I've been to Moscow, and I've seen decadent people there, a bunch of shaved kids saluting the Nazis. They forgot who defended the country and who they were. ”
"Don't talk about it!" Lilia kicked her husband. Andro, who was rigid like a dream, came back to his senses, and the guests in front of him listened one by one with wide eyes.
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper."
"No, no, you're actually quite right." Star fruit said
"You said **ism." Da Ming said, "I have seen Das Kapital, and it is the one who said that **ism will first appear in highly capitalist countries, just like those countries in Northern Europe. Although they are still capitalist, they are extremely rich in resources, and every citizen can live a prosperous life. So I have an idea, maybe our Tuva can do the same, after all, we only have 300,000 people here. ”
Andro shook his head as if self-deprecatingly: "Unless Tuva can break away from the Russian Federation, as long as this side is really rich, a large number of outsiders will come back to beg for a living, just like the workers at the foot of this mountain, I am afraid that many of them will come from other places to find work." ”
The topic became farther and farther away, and Daming also fantasized about what it would be like if Tuva really broke away from Russia and simply returned to China. He asked about star fruit, and the answer was one word - no.
Tuva will be part of the Russian Federation for the next decade or so, and with the iron-fisted policies of President Putin and the era of high oil prices, Russia has slowly come out of the quagmire. It is a pity that Andro does not dare to hope for the future, and like many Russians, he is generally pessimistic about the future of the country.
My brother was talking about politics with them, and Carambola didn't want to get involved. The Cheng sisters are very curious about the observatory, and Sonia is also very interested in her new Chinese friends.
If there is a bathhouse here, everyone will soak together and get together with three slippery friends. This is Sonya's fantasy, and her lust is manifested on her face, and star fruit has already guessed that it is definitely not a good thing.
After eating, Lilia went to clean the dishes, and the Cheng sisters wanted to make a move but were kindly refused. "You can go to the observatory with my husband, and after dinner, our routine will begin again."
Cheng Manli nodded and pulled her sister out of the kitchen, the dining room was empty, and through the window, I saw that the lights outside the observatory were turned on, and the dome of the hemisphere under the moonlight was also opened, and a circle stretched out from the inside, it was facing the moon.
