Chapter 21: The Notebook

"Teacher Wan......?"

Su Yichen didn't know who Lin Jia was, and he hadn't heard of this name, so he was a little puzzled when Wan Changchun made this move. Wan Changchun waited for the bow, and Su Yichen, who couldn't hold back, couldn't help but ask about Lin Jia's identity, and then Wan Changchun told him about Lin Jia's situation.

Lin Jia is a very well-known scholar in China, he is China's leading expert in agricultural chemistry, has served as an assistant professor in the Department of Soil Science of the College of Agriculture of BJ University, an assistant researcher of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a researcher of the SH Institute of Chemistry, etc., in 1978, Lin Jia was transferred to the Northwest Academy of Sciences as a vice president and professor, presiding over the scientific research and investigation work in the northwest region, during his tenure he has gone deep into the hinterland of the northwest more than ten times to conduct scientific investigations, and even led a team through the desert for first-hand scientific research.

In June 1980, that is, three years ago, Lin Jia once again led a team into the desert for a scientific investigation, due to the investigation work in the middle of the process, there were some problems in logistics, the team had a strict water shortage, at that time Lin Jia took the initiative to go out to find a water source, but who thought he would go and never come back, so he disappeared.

Lin Jia's disappearance was a major event at that time, when it was discovered that Lin Jia was missing, the scientific expedition team organized a search on the spot, but could not find Lin Jia's whereabouts, and then, when the news of the disappearance reached the Northwest Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the leaders of the two academies, including the head of the central government, attached great importance to it, and even mobilized nearby garrison troops to conduct a dragnet search within a radius of dozens of kilometers. However, although the final search lasted for a long time, Lin Jia's whereabouts were still not found, and the result was that no one was found, and no body was found.

When Lin Jia had an accident, Su Yichen was at the most critical moment in participating in the Galaxy giant computer integrated circuit project, and he didn't pay any attention to the news reports from the outside world when he soaked in the real room every day, not to mention that although Lin Jia was a well-known scholar and scientist in China, the direction of his research was completely different from what Su Yichen was concerned about, so it was normal for Su Yichen not to know Lin Jia's name.

But Wan Changchun is different, on the one hand, he and Lin Jia are not far apart in age, and the two are scientific research workers of the same era. On the other hand, although Wan Changchun, who is also a well-known scientist in China, has never met Lin Jia, let alone dealt with him directly, he has long heard of Lin Jia, and even when the news of Lin Jia's disappearance came, Wan Changchun lamented the loss of such an excellent scientist in China at that time.

But who would have thought that Lin Jia, who disappeared as early as three years ago, would actually find his body in this place, this situation is a bit unbelievable, could it be that Lin Jia's disappearance was the same accident as them, so he mysteriously fell to this place? But even so, Lin Jia shouldn't have died here! Could it be that something incredible happened after him?

After a short and solemn silence, Wan Changchun slowly squatted down and flipped through the bag that Lin Jia was carrying, except for a kettle, an enamel tea jar, a flashlight with a depleted battery, a damaged military compass and some other gadgets used in field operations, there was nothing else in the bag, and then Wan Changchun looked at the chest of the corpse, reached out and gently pulled out the pinned pen, when he saw that the pen barrel was engraved with Lin Jia's name, he could be sure at this moment, The other party is Lin Jia, who mysteriously disappeared in the desert.

The discovery of the remains of a scientist who has been a concern to countless people to this day, a respected and respected scholar, made the three people present feel a lot of emotion. Although they don't know what happened to Lin Jia, and they don't know how Lin Jia came to this place, but in any case, the Chinese pay attention to the dead and enter the soil for safety, and it is very inappropriate to let Lin Jia's body lie in the passage like this, so Wan Changchun built a little placement of Lin Jia's body, and this Jian yì was quickly recognized by everyone.

Su Yichen took the initiative to take off his coat, wrapped Lin Jia's body a little with the help of Hu Zhijun, and prepared to move it to a suitable place for placement together, and then find a way to take his body out if he had the opportunity later. But when they just lifted Lin Jia's body, they only heard a soft sound, and when they looked down, a notebook was lying quietly on the ground.

This is a very ordinary notebook, and the cover is also printed with the four gilded words "Work Manual", but these four words are a little dull due to time. The notebook should have belonged to Lin Jia, and it was stuffed in his arms, so Wan Changchun didn't find it before, and when they lifted the body, it accidentally fell out of his arms.

"Wait!" Wan Changchun hurriedly shouted, leaned over to pick up the notebook, and subconsciously opened it to look at it. After reading a few pages, he found that the contents of this notebook were used by Lin Jia to record work and diary, and he immediately raised his eyebrows.

For the time being, it is still necessary to place Lin Jia's body first, Wan Changchun pressed the curiosity in his heart, put away the notebook first, and waited for the three of them to carry the body to the fork in the road where they came in, and found a relatively empty place to put the body, at this time Wan Changchun took out the notebook and continued to read.

Lin Jia is a rigorous scholar with a major in agricultural chemistry and a deep study of geological exploration. Due to his long-term outdoor scientific investigations, he has developed the habit of recording at any time, so this notebook records many details of his expeditions in detail, including the topography, landform, soil, geological structure and other aspects of the area he investigated.

Judging from the original date of the notebook, it should have been recorded when Lin Jia was transferred to the Northwest Academy of Sciences, Wan Changchun only read the previous content roughly, and then quickly flipped to the back, when he flipped through and found June 11, 1980, Wan Changchun's eyes suddenly tightened, because he knew that this day was the day before Lin Jia's disappearance.

"On June 11, the weather was sunny with temperatures ranging from 7 to 38 degrees. Today is the fifth day of the expedition team entering the desert, I took Xiao Wang and Xiao Tang to investigate the resources and conditions of this desert, and the results are not optimistic...... According to the information before departure, there should be a dark river in this vicinity, but we did not find this dark river after searching, and even found no signs of plants left in the desert, maybe this dark river has dried up, or because of the change in the terrain of the sand dune guide zhì has been deflected, considering this, I decided to continue to move east tomorrow, if the dark river is deflected, the most likely is to ...... in the east. ”

"On June 12, the weather was fine with temperatures ranging from 10 to 39.5 degrees. Today is the sixth day of the expedition into the desert, according to yesterday's decision, I led the team to the east to continue to search for the dark river, after the team advanced 20 kilometers, we finally found signs of plants in the desert, although this is only a few Populus euphratica trees that have long since died, after sampling and analysis, the Populus euphratica has not died for a long time, at most four or five years, from this point can completely confirm that the dark presence described in the data is real. Even more surprisingly, I also found a few live cacti 1.2 kilometers east of the poplar, which is good news, and the discovery of cacti indicates that the dark river has not completely dried up, and perhaps a further search east will reveal an oasis in the desert.

According to my assumption, the expedition team should continue to search eastward again, but at this time, Lao Ma told me that the water and gasoline carried by the team were almost exhausted, and the old Ma Jian yì expedition team temporarily stopped advancing and camped on the spot, and at the same time contacted the troops by telegram for help. After collective discussion, I reluctantly agreed to Lao Ma and his comrades' proposals, personally drafted a telegram, and sent a telegram by Xiao Xiao, the dispatcher, and half an hour later, the troops quickly called back and agreed to our request for help.

After the camp was completed, I lay in the tent and could not sleep, the situation of the lack of water in the team was quite severe, but I thought it was possible to persevere, because it was a very imprudent decision to ask the troops for help in the face of the impassing discovery of the oasis. Although as the captain of the team, I personally respect the collective opinion, but I must know that it costs a lot of money to send a car to bring water to the army, and with the current shortage of funds, this money is enough for the expedition team to do more scientific research.

After thinking about it, I believed that my judgment would not be wrong, that there would be an oasis not far to the east, and that as long as we found a water source, we would be able to alleviate the water shortage and save this expensive expense, so I decided to go out and find a water source ...... while the troops had not yet set off. ”

Seeing this, Wan Changchun's eyes gradually moistened, because he knew that it was this time to find water that led to Lin Jia's disappearance, but he never thought that Lin Jia would leave the camp alone to find water for this reason. When he learned the news of Lin Jia's disappearance, he regretted and sighed and also had doubts, he couldn't understand why as an excellent scholar and a rigorous scientist, he would run out alone in the desert to find water. And after reading Lin Jia's records, Wan Changchun suddenly realized that he deeply understood Lin Jia's idea of making this decision at that time.
