Chapter 5 The First Accident
"Old Su! Old Sue! Wake up, something happened! "I was woken up by Chen Zaihai in a daze, and suddenly realized that the rumbling thunder outside was not a dream, but a real thunderstorm!
Thinking of those cloud maps I saw not long ago, my back was a little cold, and sure enough, this place was weird, so I had no choice but to hurriedly put on my clothes and pants and ran out of the tent with Chen Zaihai.
"Hell yes! Why is it raining so hard! I shouted loudly at Mr. Chen, but the sound was quickly drowned out by the deafening thunder
The wind around us swept the rain, like countless whips, and whipped them in the faces, and the lightning flashed brightly, like a giant python leaping over the clouds, and a thunderstorm exploded over our heads, which was a real thunderstorm.
The engineers on the side were scrambling to put on tarps for the equipment in the camp, and from time to time someone slipped and fell, but immediately got up and continued to work, and the whole base was in shambles.
"What the hell is going on?" The thunder was so loud that I had to shout against the wind and in Chen's ear.
"There was an engineer who was struck by lightning, and he was struck while he was erecting some military equipment, and he died at that time. I was outside**, and I looked at it from a distance, anyway, it was miserable enough, it was all blackened, and no one looked like it at all. Chen Zaihai shouted back.
I was stupid when I heard it? Lightning accidents? This is all too familiar to those of us who are engaged in meteorology, simply put, as long as you are not a fool, carrying a lightning rod more than ten meters high on a rainy day, posing in such weather. The probability of you being struck by lightning is infinitely close to zero.
There will always be some reports that people were killed by lightning and where. It cannot be said that such things are non-existent, but most of them are exaggerated. There are a few true incidents, also because the location of the parties is too special.
Therefore, people in ancient times would regard lightning as a catastrophe. You were selected by Lei Gong like buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot, and it is inevitable that you will be mythologized by others if you are not dead in the end.
Of course, this is not impossible, for example, there are some objects with good conductivity nearby. The flow of electric current tends to be on the side with less resistance, which is known even to junior high school students today. In this case, the amount of electricity flowing through the body is greatly reduced, and the likelihood of survival increases.
After that, under the leadership of an engineer, through the pouring rain, we finally arrived at the camp headquarters five minutes later, and the officer who had assigned us the tent was walking around with an anxious face, and I later learned that he was the commander of the engineering unit stationed here.
When he saw us coming in, he just waved his hand and asked us to find a place to sit down. It didn't take long for Wang Weiguo and others to hurry over, everyone was soaked, and I suddenly realized that it seemed that only people from the Meteorological Bureau had come.
"Tell me how he died," said the commander of the regiment, calling a small soldier, and asked him weakly.
"Report to me that we just set up the gas lamp as usual, nothing unusual at first, it was originally me alone, but the lamp was too heavy for me to lift alone, and then the little nail came, and we moved the gas lamp to the fixed table together, and then the little nail said that there was nothing wrong with me on it, and told me to go down and connect the cable. I didn't think much about it, so I jumped down to connect the cable, but it didn't take long for it to start raining, and I immediately wanted to shout to him that it was raining, and the gas lamp was easy to leak, but before I could say it, there was a sudden boom in the sky, and my eyes immediately became white, and when I came back to my senses, the little nail was already like that," the little soldier replied tremblingly.
The little nail seemed to be the nickname of the dead engineer, and I couldn't help but feel a little gloomy at the thought of such a fresh life disappearing so inexplicably.
"I called you here urgently just to ask you what's going on? You are all experts in this field, is it possible that this thunder will hack people for no reason? It's not a curse! The head of the regiment said with a sad and indignant face.
"Thunder is one of the natural phenomena, a large-scale electrical discharge phenomenon produced when clouds with different charges in the sky are close to each other. The thunder generated inside and between the cloud is high-altitude mine; The thunder generated in the cloud-ground lightning is called "Landing Mine", and it is obvious that the warrior named Little Nail was struck by the Landing Mine. I have observed that the cable installation in this area is messy, the wiring position is very low, and the small nails standing on the easily conductive gas lamp when it is raining and damp at that time have created the conditions for the formation of lightning accidents. Wang Weiguo pushed his glasses and said slowly.
I really have to admire this guy's theoretical knowledge, in many ways, even Chen Zaihai, who stayed in the Soviet Union, is not as good as him, his explanation is reasonable and well-founded, and others can't help but nod their heads when they hear it.
"I'm a rough man, I don't understand all the jargon you say at once, and these soldiers under my command are like my children. It's not a time of war, they shouldn't just die like that, so what do I have to do with their parents? Is there any way to prevent this from happening again? As soon as the head of the regiment saw that things had become more visible, he immediately asked hopefully.
"Of course there is, I still know the simple lightning protection measures, and as long as the chief does what I say, there will be no lightning strike time." Wang Weiguo replied confidently.
The accident was resolved, and the meeting was dispersed immediately, and after such a toss, I couldn't sleep, and the thunderstorm outside gradually became quieter, and I looked down at my watch It was already 4 o'clock in the middle of the night, so I simply turned around with Chen Zaihai in the camp.
Tomorrow the camp will be renovated according to Wang Weiguo's plan, and we will be informed of the purpose of this operation. I encountered so many things before anything even started, and to be honest, my heart was a little heavy, as if I had pressed a big stone, and I was very aggrieved.
Chen Zaihai, who was walking in front of me, was obviously in the same mood. But I always felt that there was something else in his expression, after all, I had known each other for a long time. There are some questions that the other party doesn't need to say, and we will be more or less aware of something.
Chen Zaihai's current appearance is obviously hiding something from me, and I am a little angry in an instant, I really can't imagine that this person will also show the face of the little daughter-in-law who is about to get married.
So I kicked Chen Zaihai in front of me hard, telling him to fart quickly, don't grind here.
He was completely defenseless at this kick, and he fell directly and ate and was muddy all over, and then he stood up like no one else. A strange feeling rose in my heart, if this kid had been beaten back a long time ago, what was wrong? Transsexualized?
"It's not as simple as Wang Weiguo said." Chen Zaihai turned around and said to me with a solemn face.
"What?" I looked at Chen Zaihai in confusion.
"It's not a simple landing mine, a landing mine is attracted to conductive objects, you know. Although I was standing a little far away at the time, the thunder was definitely not slashing at that bullshit gas lamp! It's going for the little nails! I can't be mistaken! Something is wrong! It's very wrong," Chen Zaikaido.
