Chapter 104: Moving the Camp
readx;?“ What the? Are you afraid of heights? Lu Qi and Liu Yeqiang said in unison, "How is it possible?" ”
"What's so strange about that? It's just a fear of heights, everyone has a little bit, right? Yang Mu Qin was still stiff-mouthed, but Lu Qi laughed, "It's okay, there is no air force in this world, there is no high jump and low opening, and there is no airborne combat or anything, if you are afraid of heights, you are afraid of heights, and it is good not to go to places that are too high." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info That's right," said Lu Qi and looked at Yang Mu Qin, "How did you solve the problem of climbing the mountain?" The mountain is pretty high, too. ”
"The mountains aren't that scary, are they?" Yang Muqin wiped the tip of his sweaty nose and said, "Mountains are generally cone-shaped, and there are few cliffs, as long as you don't stand on the edge of the cliff, it's basically nothing." ”
Liu Yeqiang waved his hand comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, the airship is actually just a flying platform, and it is mainly a large beam frame, just like a submarine, generally speaking, it lives directly in the belly of the airship, and the pod below is mainly used to observe the flight situation and determine the direction, so if you are afraid of heights, just get on the airship and don't come out, and it's basically okay if you don't go down to the pod and look out of the window." He paused, "It's not so much the airship that I'm most worried about, it's the hydrogen." ”
"Hydrogen?" Lucci almost jumped up, but immediately involved the wound, grinning in pain, "Our airship still uses hydrogen?" ”
"Yes, at this stage, we don't have anything to separate helium, so we can only use hydrogen." Liu Yeqiang sighed, "Helium is a standard inert gas that will not react with any elements, so we can only separate helium from the air, the helium content is very low, the content in the air is only 0.0052%, and the gas characteristics of helium are also relatively special, so it is very difficult to extract helium by separating the air." ”
"According to you, where did the helium of the old world come from? And so much. Yang Muqin had already thrown the fear of heights out of the clouds, Liu Yeqiang shrugged, "Where else can it come from, through natural gas extraction." Natural gas contains a large amount of helium, and the concentration of helium in natural gas in some places can even reach 8%, so helium in the old world is mainly extracted from natural gas. ”
"Okay, then I'll take Bluegrass out and find a campsite, what's the request?" Yang Mu Qin said casually, "The wind is up, there is living water, you have to stay away from the woods, right?" ”
"There are many things to do when choosing a campsite, especially a long-term campsite," Lucci instructed on the side, "First of all, it is necessary to have the upper hand, so that even if you encounter a mountain fire or arson, you will not be burned all the way by the fire and there will be no place to escape; The second is living water, people always have to drink water, don't they? Stagnant water is not suitable for human drinking, the content of pathogenic microorganisms in it is relatively large, and it can also breed mosquitoes, if you are infected with any infectious diseases, it will be troublesome. Even if this does not happen, it is difficult for living water to be cut off at the source, and as long as you keep having water to drink, you will live longer than those who do not have water to drink. ”
"Hahaha, you're so funny," Yang Muqin laughed, "Is there anything else?" ”
"And, of course, the area next to the water should also be carefully inspected to see if there are any traces of flash floods." Lu Qi said as he waved his hand, "You have never seen the appearance of a flash flood, it is really terrifying, rushing down from above, like ten thousand horses galloping, all the way down to what you stand in front of you." When we arrived in a new place, we didn't know the local hydrological situation, especially the flash flood, so we could only take precautions as soon as possible; In addition to flash floods, be aware of landslides and try to avoid camping in places where landslides are likely to occur, and of course under cliffs. Seriously, if you've ever seen a landslide, you'll never forget it, it's really the mountains moving! ”
"Okay, then I'll look for it, Bluegrass should also be experienced." Yang Muqin was about to go out as he spoke, but Liu Yeqiang stopped him, "You have to pay attention, it's best to find a place to hide the grain, so as to avoid being used as a free food station by the small animals in the woods." The cave is the best, if not, find a place where you can shelter from the wind and rain, and it is best to have no more than two entrances, so that it is easy to guard. ”
"Well, okay, okay, I'll go out first." Yang Muqin said as he grabbed his gun and called out to the blue grass outside, "Let's go, let's go find a campsite." ”
"Camping? Isn't that what it is? Bluegrass asked in surprise, "Why are we going to find a place?" ”
Yang Muqin hurriedly waved his hand and pointed to his chest, and Lan Cao immediately understood that this was confidential information and could not be known to everyone, so he communicated through ideas.
After listening to Yang Muqin's explanation, Lan Cao's mouth opened widely, "There are still things that can fly in the sky?" So big? ”
"It doesn't matter if it's big or not, you just believe you can fly." Yang Muqin shrugged his shoulders and thought in his heart, Lan Cao looked up at the sky, "I can't fly and I can't get here." ”
At this time, Liu Yeqiang suddenly ran out of the tent and waved his hand at the blue grass, the blue grass nodded, and then turned to Yang Muqin, Yang Muqin immediately heard a voice in his head, "When Elder Liu told you to find a place, try to choose a relatively high place nearby, so that you can set up a radio station." ”
"I'll go! Isn't that a joke? He also said that he couldn't get too close to the mountain, and that he had to set up a radio station on the mountain, alas-" Yang Muqin sighed, "Let's go, my legs hurt a little when I walk every day recently." ”
========================================================
Five days later, at a camp at the foot of the mountain, Yangmu Qin Chong Liu Yeqiang proudly pouted and said, "How is it?" It's a nice place, isn't it? ”
The camp is located on the side of a gentle slope of the mountain, and there is a spring flowing down the mountain, which is still a good amount of water to meet the needs of daily life. They also built a bathing shed near the downstream of the spring to make it easier for naturalized people to bathe. When taking a bath, you can use a bucket to lift the water to the tank, and then unplug the cork under the tank, and you can bathe with live water. A large part of the cargo carried by the northbound detachment is soap, since this time it is no longer used in the way of the convoy, so it is useless to leave the goods, the carrying tonnage of the airship is about ten tons, so if you can use up some more, you will use up more goods, and you will not have to drop a lot of goods when you return home.
The faces of the naturalized people in the camp were relaxed, and it had been a long time since they had seen a smile on their faces since the last attack. Fleas began to appear on their bodies, and lice began to appear on their heads, a familiar feeling that they hadn't experienced for a long time since they had become naturalized people, and they hadn't experienced such a feeling for a long time since they came out of the purification camp, and now it was quite unpleasant to go back to the days of parasites. Fortunately, since I was able to resume bathing, the situation has changed a lot, at least I don't see people scratching their ears and cheeks like monkeys every day.
"This place is good, but it's a little far away from the communication point." Liu Yeqiang said and pointed to a mountain in the distance, there was a pine tree on the top of the mountain, and he could vaguely see a few people sitting under the tree busy there.
The height of the mountain is about 3670 meters, which is the highest mountain in the surrounding area, but the mountain is relatively steep, so he had to send a few naturalized people to disassemble the radio station and move it to the top of the mountain, and it took a lot of effort to set it up.
They first built a shack under the tree, placed the radio station in the shack, and then poked the antenna directly into the tree. However, Liu Yeqiang personally climbed up to see it once and asked them to relocate, this is the highest place in the surrounding area, and it stands to reason that it should also be the most vulnerable to lightning strikes. Once struck by lightning and killing people, the most terrible thing is that the radio station will also be damaged, and the contact with the Oriental Port will be completely lost, even if the airship flies over, it will not be able to find a place to receive people.
Therefore, Liu Yeqiang asked them to install a spare antenna on the treetops, and the other end was buried directly into the ground to be used as a lightning rod. The real antenna is set up 20 meters away from the tree, and the height is much lower than the height of the treetop, and in the event of a lightning strike, it will often hit the treetop first.
The location of the radio station was also adjusted, first digging a square pit six meters long and four meters wide and up to one meter deep, and then building a shed out of wood on top of it, covering the roof with leaves, etc., and the position of the pit was piled high with earth, if it rained, the rain would flow down the roof to both sides, and would not be splashed into the house.
Because according to the plan, the pick-up personnel came around October, when the temperature should be relatively low, so the house should do a good job of thermal insulation to prevent symptoms such as colds from affecting work and life due to the cold weather, so it is also essential to make a fire in the house. This kind of underground building can block the wind, but it can also ensure a certain amount of mobility in the house, so as not to cause gas poisoning due to fire in the house.
Due to the fire attack of the northbound detachment in the attack, a large number of vehicles and materials were damaged, but the several Stirling engines on board were not damaged, so the generators that supply power to the radio and mobile phones in the underground nest are now driven by the Stirling engine, and when needed, a fire can work continuously for several hours, and there is no longer several naturalized citizens waiting on the side to act as a human battery. This place is the highest area in the area, so when it comes to sending radio signals, there are a lot of obvious advantages, and there are many fewer disconnections, which can be regarded as quite smooth.
At this moment, in the camp at the foot of the mountain, the tents they set up were also set up according to this method of the nest, not only the naturalized people, but also the military households of the Wu Dynasty and the Jinyi guards who accompanied the team, and even the Dongchang fans who were prisoners were also living in such a nest at the moment. The only difference is that the Dongchang fans still wear night clothes, and the northbound detachment does not have extra prison clothes for them to wear.
As for those who died in the battle, they have all been temporarily buried in a small hill near the downstream spring in the south of the camp, where a militia stands guard every day, in the name of "Guardian Spirit", mainly to prevent the corpses from being dug out and eaten by wild animals. A few days ago, the Beishang detachment took the group of Dongchang Fanzi to cut wood from the woods for three or four days, and after returning, they roughened it into some wooden boards, made dozens of thin-skin coffins, and packed the corpses inside. Before the corpse was put into the coffin, it was specially wrapped in linen and wrapped with their blanket, so that when the coffin was turned, it could be transferred to the coffin brought by it as soon as possible, reducing the time that the corpse was directly exposed to the air.
Now the only headache is the wounded in the battle, the number of wounded can be described as quite large, most of them are minor injuries, some are hit by arrows, after pulling out the wound cleaning and disinfection, basically nothing is done; Some were scratched by swords, and there was no big trouble after cleaning the wound and disinfecting and suturing and bandaging. The most head-scratching among them were a few burned people, because the camp was far from the water source, so while the fire oil ignited the vehicles in the camp, it also set fire to several nearby naturalized people who were taking refuge, and as soon as they found themselves on fire, the frightened naturalized people screamed and ran around the camp, which also contributed to the increase in the fire to a certain extent. Fortunately, a firefighter who had served in the fire brigade shouted for them to roll down and put a blanket directly over them, which was extinguished, otherwise they would have burned to death.
Burns are a headache for doctors even in the old world, burns are often relatively large, the epidermis that protects from bacterial invasion is often preferentially burned, and the exposed parts are particularly susceptible to bacterial infection, causing various complications and even death. The naturalized doctors who went with the team received just ordinary medical training, and if they were really left in the old time and space, they would just be at the level of ordinary nurses, and they were helpless against burns, so Liu Yeqiang had to rush ducks to the shelves and personally guide how to deal with wounds.
In the past few days, a total of six burn patients have passed away due to sepsis caused by burns, and the remaining three or four burn patients have also begun to develop edema and other conditions at this time, and if they are not effectively treated, it is estimated that death will be within this week.
"Don't worry too much, chief," a medical worker said after reporting the wounded to Liu Yeqiang, "Originally, burns were incurable, and when the two armies were fighting, they would not help the burned. ”
Liu Yeqiang sighed and nodded, "Yes, it's still too underestimating the power of the natives, I didn't expect them to make such a fuss in the end, I was really caught off guard!" ”
