Chapter 303: Into the Mountain
Changbai Mountain Forest Ecosystem Positioning Station, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
In layman's terms, it is the Changbai Mountain National Field Research Institute, and on this day, the institute welcomed a new guest, uh, a researcher.
"Comrade Xiao Xu, hello, welcome to your arrival!"
After checking the documents, the old director in his sixties wearing thick glasses gently shook Xu Guangling's hand, "I hope you can have a good time working and studying here!"
"Director, the purpose of my coming here is to investigate the medicinal plant resources of Changbai Mountain on the spot, hoping to consult some of the relevant research materials in the institute, and in addition, I also hope that the institute can provide me with supplies to enter the mountain. ”
Xu Guangling said straight to the point.
"This, no problem, of course no problem!" Hearing Xu Guangling's request, the director only groaned slightly, and then responded briskly, and continued: "Xiao Xu, you are right to ask for supplies, as far as the clothes on your body are not qualified, hurry up and change, or you will not be able to get out of bed tomorrow if you are so cold!"
In this way, Xu Guangling temporarily became a temporary investigative researcher at the institute.
And the origin of his identity is not complicated.
How to get into the mountain?
This is the question that Xu Guangling considered before.
It's definitely not okay to be a tourist, it's too restrictive.
Simply going into the mountains as a "wild man", not to mention anything else, just eating and drinking, you can't solve it.
With the amount of food he eats now, no amount of dry food he brings is enough for a few meals. And now it is winter, the food that can be found in the mountains is quite limited, occasionally, even every once in a while, as a supplement or supplement, if it is used as the only source of food, then Xu Guangling is waiting to starve himself to dry.
So after thinking about it for a while, Xu Guangling tentatively dialed the "customer service number".
This is purely a three-pole fight with dates without dates.
But unexpectedly, there was an unexpected joy. Xu Guangling called around 10 a.m., and at 4 p.m., a brand-new document was delivered to him.
In the face of such a force, what else can Xu Guangling say?
"The vegetation of Changbai Mountain can be divided into five areas according to the altitude, the foot of the mountain is the broad-leaved forest area, which is also the area with the most abundant plant resources, and the altitude of 1,000 meters is the broad-leaved and coniferous mixed forest area, these two areas are also the main growth areas of Baoye ginseng in Changbai Mountain. ”
"Above 1,000 meters above sea level, there are no broad-leaved trees, only coniferous trees. ”
"At an altitude of 1,800 meters, even hardy coniferous trees can hardly survive, and there are only birch trees and a very small number of spruce trees in this area, so we also call it the Mt. Birch Forest Area. ”
"Further up, two thousand meters above sea level, under the influence of high cold, strong winds, heavy snow, clouds and fog, there are basically no trees to survive, only dwarf shrubs, lichens, mosses and the like. ”
A young researcher named Liu Zishan pointed to the miniature model of Changbai Mountain on the table and gave a brief introduction to Xu Guangling.
After finishing the business, he said to Xu Guangling: "Brother Xu, thanks to you, there may be a welcome in the evening, and we can be full of happiness again!"
It is said that it is a welcome to the new year, but in fact, the meal is slightly richer than usual.
In fact, it is stewed pork with dried daylily (not wild boar), stewed dried tofu with dried dandelion, and stewed small yellow croaker with dried horse vegetables (horse snake cabbage, purslane), etc., well, this is a special dish, and there is no difference between it and the home-cooked food in the city.
As for the taste of the food, it is measured by the standards of Chef Xu and Chef Xu, hehe.
But he did feel the enthusiasm.
Also, how can a person who lives in the bitter cold region all the year round and is accompanied by the mountains not have enthusiasm. Only enthusiasm can dilute the bitterness here, and without enthusiasm, you can't stay in such a place.
Just like the ginseng flavor "Changbai Mountain Treasure", it grows in the bitter cold, but its nature is warm and hot, and the other flavor is also the famous snow lotus, the same.
To put it in a humanistic or sensational way, this is exactly what the world has pained and it has sung to the world.
Xu Guangling settled down.
There are many books in the institute that are not available in the outside library, let alone those professional research materials.
Reading these more professional and boring materials, Xu Guangling's feelings are quite good. Professionalism means conciseness, but also means precision, and conciseness and precision, in Xu Guangling's eyes, is beauty.
However, these materials were only enough for Xu Guangling to read for four days.
More precisely, three and a half days. Three and a half days later, all the relevant information had been absorbed by Xu Guangling.
When human beings possess writing, when writing is used for writing, when narrative breaks through the scope of families and ethnic groups and begins to circulate on a larger scale, the progress of human civilization is showing a trend of acceleration, and the acceleration is getting faster and faster.
I really don't know how much knowledge an ordinary human can have in another thousand years.
However, there is another problem here, that is, for ordinary people, no matter how many resources they have, the number and speed of their absorption and absorption are extremely limited.
But these two problems are not problems in front of Xu Guangling now.
From the time he came to Changbai, plus the four days he entered the institute, in just over half a month, Xu Guangling sat on a sea of books, and what he absorbed was the research results that I don't know how many people spent and how much effort!
But that's just the first step.
Not even a first step, but just a premise.
On the fifth day of coming to the institute, Xu Guangling began to enter the mountain, refused to send someone to accompany him, and agreed to call if he had any questions, Xu Guangling stepped into the vast mountain alone.
Changbai Mountain.
The word Changbai can summarize this mountain, the mountain range has a snow line all year round, and the snow in the high mountains is almost all year round.
At this time, at the foot of Changbai Mountain, the temperature is about minus 5 degrees, and if you climb up, the temperature will get lower and lower. Or, as long as a heavy snowstorm comes, even at the foot of the mountain, the temperature will drop to minus twenty or thirty degrees in an instant.
Xu Guangling is not a single shirt now.
Lest it be so shocking that the people in the house would look at him as a monster, he put on thick pants and a thick shirt almost bloated, but in fact, this was still too thin in the eyes of the people in the house.
"Just came. He'll soon know how to wear it. This is almost the unanimous opinion of the people in the institute.
But it's actually quite normal, and almost everyone who has just come here is like that.
However, the fact is that after going up the mountain, Xu Guangling quickly removed the thick lining and reverted to a single dress.
What is the feeling that the heavy clothes bring to Xu Guangling? It is not down-to-earth and warm, but suffocating. It's not so much associated with suffocation, but there's always a feeling of not breathing well. - Breathing in the pores of the body.
After leaving the research institute, he had only walked less than five or six miles, and what appeared in front of Xu Guangling was a dense and reckless jungle.
