Chapter 472, the Great Northern Wilderness
"Leader, why do you take so many clothes, don't we just go for a few days and come back, it's summer soon."
In the trunk of the jeep, Xiao Wei and Xiao Gong each have a suitcase, and the others are basically Jiang Yan's things, not counting the backpack made of Eagle Sauce on their bodies, there are three large suitcases.
Sitting in the parking lot, the secretary Xiao Gong asked Jiang Yan a little puzzled.
Since Xiao Wei also went to Shengjing with Jiang Yan this time, the driver who was driving today was temporarily seconded from the research institute, Xiao Wei was sitting in the co-pilot today, and when he heard the secretary Xiao Gong asking, he also angrily pricked up his ears to listen to Jiang Yan's explanation.
"We estimate that the time to go is not short, you should not have been to the Northeast, this Northeast day, in winter, people can freeze to death. You are not allowed to prepare some cotton clothes. ”
After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he looked at these two people without reacting, and then said.
"The climate of the Northeast is different from other places, it is across the middle temperate climate and the cold temperate climate, belongs to the temperate monsoon climate, therefore, the winter in the Northeast is dry and cold, is the coldest place in the country in winter, the so-called nest winter is also in the Northeast, because the winter in the Northeast is too cold, so many Northeast people do not like to go out, like to nest at home. Northeast people will make a lot of cotton jackets and cotton pants in order to keep out the cold, and these clothes are not used in other places for winter. ”
"Then how do they compare to the weather in our four or nine cities?"
After hearing Jiang Yan finish speaking, Xiao Gong then asked Jiang Yan.
Compared with what, there is no comparison between the two at all, and besides, there is no greenhouse effect in these years, and it is really cold this winter.
It is said that in the Tohoku region, people freeze to death every year because the weather is too cold.
Jiang Yan thought for a while, and then said: "The minimum temperature in the winter in the Northeast can reach more than minus 40 degrees, the eyelashes will be frosty when you go out, and your hands and face will feel very cold without gloves and hats, and it can be seen from many aspects that the winter in the Northeast is very cold, for example, in the Northeast winter, there will be ice on the roof of the building, there will be rime on the riverside or on the top of the high mountain, the road surface will be frozen, the river surface will be very thick ice, you can even play ice climbing plows, draw ice monkeys, people can walk on the glacier, some people work outside all year round, In winter, frostbite can occur on the hands and feet in the Northeast.
"In the winter of the Northeast, people will ask you whether you drink soda at room temperature or chilled, and how to choose."
"Of course, I chose room temperature, and the leader said that the temperature in the Northeast is so low, so a fool chooses the cold one." Xiao Wei, above the co-pilot, spoke quite confidently.
Jiang Yan also saw that Xiao Gong also had such an expression.
Seeing these two people like this, Jiang Yan smiled.
"If it were me, I would have chosen room temperature."
"Leader, why is that?" The two of them asked in unison.
"Because cold beer is stored in a cold storage at minus 23 degrees, while room temperature beer is kept outdoors at minus 20 degrees. This chilled soda is cooler than the room temperature. ”
Although there is no household refrigerator in this era, there is cold storage in most cities, and some things are also put in the cold storage.
Some state-run stalls selling cold drinks will go to the cold storage to get a little ice, and put it in a large basin, and then the soda can also have a chilling effect in it.
However, speaking of this refrigerator, Jiang Yan vaguely remembered that the first refrigerator in China was in 1956, which was successfully developed by Sijiucheng Snowflake Refrigerator Factory "Snowflake" brand refrigerator. Wait until I go back this time and ask Wang Honghai to see if I can get myself a refrigerator ticket.
After coming back to his senses, he wiped his saliva and heard the secretary Xiao Gong ask: "Leader, you said that the Northeast is so cold, why do we still want to develop the Great Northern Wilderness!" ”
Hearing the secretary's question, Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly recalled in his mind.
In fact, the country's development of the Northeast can be traced back to 1947, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was won and the country was recovered, and the war shifted from strategic defense to strategic counteroffensive.
The leaders of the Northeast who had just moved from the mouth of the Meihe River to the Ice City had already set their sights on the desert wilderness of North Manchuria.
You must know that at that time, the team in the Northeast at that time could be called luxurious, after they had a hard work style at the beginning, and there were handsome people who were good at managing the economy, and at that time the two of them had already begun to scan every piece of wasteland, swamps, and hills that were worth paying attention to in the black land of North Manchuria......
In the spring of that year, after analyzing the situation at that time, they emphasized: "Try out the office farms and carry out mechanized agricultural experiments in order to meet the rural construction after liberation." ”
As soon as the War of Liberation turned into a strategic counteroffensive, the far-sighted leaders had already begun to play the card of "resettlement and colonization."
As a result, groups of soldiers were mobilized in accordance with the order issued by the chief in "Establishing a Consolidated Northeast Base Area" -- "Except for field corps that concentrate on operations and have major combat missions, all units and organs must engage in production in their spare time from fighting and work...... The whole of Tohoku must immediately plan for this," and they went to the countryside, to the wasteland, to the farmland and ruins that had been abandoned and destroyed by the Japanese pioneer group when they retreated......
From 1947 to 1949, a number of public machinery farms were born in the smoke of war. Their names are: Tongbei, Zhaoguang, Ning'an, Xingkai, 815, 93 .......
Indeed, the cold was the foremost enemy of the pioneers.
The Great Northern Wilderness has complex natural landforms.
To the north of it is the small Khing'an Mountains, which is extraordinary. There are reckless mountains, gentle hills, and wide valleys. It is on the verge of the wind and is subject to frost for two-thirds of the year, with permafrost up to 2.5 meters thick. In the west of it, the Nenjiang River in the Songnen Plain area flows thousands of miles south from the Yilhuli Mountains, and the Songhua River is eroded by confluence, making the terrain here flat and more dreamy and vast grasslands. To the east of it is the Sanjiang Plain region. The average altitude is only 54 meters, and the slope of 1/10,000 constitutes a rare flat terrain, forming a large area of low and humid marshland, and the floating mounds are unpredictable, so there is a magical legend of "Oni Swamp".
The Great Northern Wilderness is located in the border area.
It is bounded by the Ussuri River and the Heilongjiang River on the east and north sides, and faces Russia across the river. There are large rivers in the area, and there are countless rivers and streams cut by springs; There are ice and snow broken roads, and Jingchai blocks the road; Poisonous insects form formations, and fierce beasts swarm; There are also creepy endemic epidemics, such as "hemorrhagic fever" and "Keshan disease", which are rampant, making the historical Great Northern Wilderness extremely dangerous in legends. Back then, the famous writer Nie Xuanwu was sent here, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but sing:
The beauty is contained at the top of the dangerous peak.
Treasures must be hidden in difficult places.
The Great Northern Wilderness is a treasure land of the motherland.
It is one of the three major black soil belts in the world. The soil is fertile, and the organic matter content is mostly between 5% and 8%, and in some areas it is as high as more than 10%. There are abundant water conservancy resources, vertical and horizontal surface rivers, considerable underground reserves, and abundant atmospheric precipitation, which is extremely suitable for agricultural development; There are precious mineral resources, coal, iron, copper, gold, and oil are readily available; There are also extremely abundant wildlife resources, there are tigers, bears, roe deer, deer in the mountains and forests, red-crowned cranes and swans in the swamp area, and the eels in the rivers and lakes, sturgeon, salmon, and white fish, all of which are aquatic treasures, and ginseng, monkey's head, fungus, and mushrooms are also precious mountain treasures...... It is no wonder that the people of all dynasties are not afraid of danger and difficulty, and they are racing to embark on the pioneering road with almost no way back, leaving a mark for future generations to rely on.
Especially in our time, there are too many people who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and they hold up the backbone of this country.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and smoked it, and told his secretary in a slightly low voice about the rich mineral resources in the Northeast and his own black soil. ”
