Scholars in the courtyard

The car is walking on the mountain road. The mountain road is very narrow and can only accommodate one car.

If a car comes from the opposite direction, no one will be able to leave.

Fortunately, after walking for so long, there were only two trucks and no one on the other side.

Perhaps, there are only two cars on this mountain road.

The driver was wearing a military uniform, but after seeing a few people, he didn't say anything and just pointed to the car and got in.

Then, drive.

In the carriage, everyone closed their eyes and rested.

Although the mountain road winds around, it is running on the ground. Compared with the constant buzzing in the sky, it is much better to be on tenterhooks.

Yang Xiaotao sat leaning against Ran's father, thinking about the news Xiaowei had brought.

Who would have thought that these continuous mountains would be hollowed out, and hundreds of people would be on guard in the surrounding dense forest.

Although he didn't know what the people in the mountain were doing, he had a rough guess from Xiaowei's description, but he couldn't be sure.

These people are so mysterious!

"There's such a strong wind and there are mosquitoes, it's really crazy!"

On the side of the carriage, the self-destruct director stretched out his hand and scratched his arm, which looked very itchy.

"Hey, who's to say it's not? I'm itchy too."

"If you ask me, mosquitoes in the wild are really powerful. Look at this big bag."

Several people got together and began to denounce mosquitoes.

From time to time, laughter could be heard all around, soothing the tense nerves.

The car didn't drive very fast, which also had something to do with the road. It was a winding road. In some places, because of the narrow road, the wheels would get stuck on the edge, and the car would overturn if it failed.

After everyone talked for a while, they felt bored and fell asleep leaning against the car.

Yang Xiaotao closed his eyes and rested his mind. From time to time, he heard tickling sounds in his ears and sighed in his heart.

This time I came out, I really didn’t read the almanac!

Just when Yang Xiaotao complained that he didn't read the almanac during this trip, Mr. Qian finally got the news.

Although I know a little bit about the research in the valley, I know that it is a confidential restricted area.

But there is no other way to make an emergency landing of the plane.

Fortunately, the plane landed safely and no one was injured, which is a blessing among misfortunes.

And the next step is to see when the wind stops!

…

laugh…

The sound of braking sounded and the car shook, shaking a group of people awake.

Yang Xiaotao opened his eyes and looked outside the car. The sky was getting dark, and it was probably evening.

I just looked down at my watch and realized it was after nine o'clock.

Yang Xiaotao patted his watch vigorously and said it was still intact.

Then I remembered that this is the northwest.

"Reached?"

Father Ran stretched himself and asked the people around him.

"Not sure."

"The wind hasn't stopped, but it seems to have left the mountainous area!"

Someone was lying next to the car looking out.

"Get off the car!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and soon someone walked out of the car.

Yang Xiaotao picked up his things and got off the car.

Only then did he realize that there were still three trucks parked ahead.

"Let's go, let's change cars!"

Ran's father took a look and saw that the driver of the car had no intention of getting out. The section chief in charge of security just saluted and thanked him.

Put your luggage in the car and ride separately.

The three cars were more comfortable than the one we had just sat in. Yang Xiaotao even lay down in the car with his luggage as a pillow.

"Comrade, when will we arrive?"

Han Sanfeng asked the driver. This time the driver did not turn away the person.

"Boss, it's quick, maybe three or four hours. If it had been earlier and there hadn't been such a strong wind, I would have been back in two and a half hours!"

The driver's voice was rough and talkative.

After chatting for a while, they all knew where they were going this time.

From the No. 3 observation base, you can see the flight trajectory of the missile and the final explosion.

Knowing this, Yang Xiaotao finally breathed a sigh of relief, no need to worry about not seeing the big fireworks!

By the time the car arrived at the station, it was already half past three in the morning.

Yang Xiaotao took a nap in the car and regained some energy, but after such a long journey, it was too much for him not to be in good health.

At this time, Ran's father looked tired.

Not only him, but also the people in the same car were not good-looking.

"Young people are so good, they fall asleep with their heads wet. I'm envious!"

Han Sanfeng was holding a backpack and sighed to Ran's father.

Everyone around rubbed their eyes and nodded.

"Dad, you guys are not asleep!"

Ran's father took a look and said, "With your snoring, most people can't fall asleep!"

"Uh, this, I'm tired, maybe it's just because I'm tired."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and then helped to take down the luggage.

Everyone rubbed their eyes and walked towards the observation station.

In the station, I got the order early and prepared some meals.

The captain in charge of the resident work came over to meet everyone.

At the same time, explain the situation.

Due to the strong winds encountered near the impact point, it is not certain whether the launch will be carried out as scheduled tomorrow.

In addition, this is the closest observation point. Everyone must wear protective clothing and goggles...

After a series of instructions, he sat down at the table and started eating.

Simple potato slices with steamed buns, and a basin of egg soup outside, which is slightly more mixed than clear soup.

Even so, everyone who had not eaten for most of the day still stuffed everything they could eat into their stomachs.

Then enter the arranged tent and start to rest.

The wind was still blowing outside, and everyone just hoped that things would get better after dawn.

At this moment, Mr. Qian was sitting at the table in the launch base, listening carefully to Li Fenghua's report.

"Chief, according to our testing, the data collected from hundreds of testing points in the east, south, and north show that."

"Peripheral detection shows that the original strong winds of level 8 are weakening and are now only around level 7."

"At the current rate of decay, it will reach level five tomorrow afternoon."

"What about the impact point?"

The director on the side asked.

"Well, the wind force at the impact point is still increasing, and it is estimated that it will weaken the day after tomorrow."

Li Fenghua said carefully, and the director looked at Mr. Qian after hearing this.

"It's beyond human power!"

Qian Lao sighed, then walked aside and picked up the phone.

"Chief, you haven't slept yet!"

"Ah, I can't sleep either."

Mr. Qian said calmly, and then explained the current situation.

"My opinion is this. If we have to do it tomorrow, the people along the way will have to retreat a hundred miles. This work can be completed in one day, which will put a lot of pressure on us."

"In this case, why not wait one more day, just in time for the comrades to have a good rest."

After Mr. Qian finished speaking, the person on the other side was silent for a moment, and then hung up the phone.

But Mr. Qian did not leave.

About ten minutes later, the phone rang.

After Mr. Qian picked up the call, he listened for a while, kept saying yes, and then hung up the phone.

"Tell comrades that the launch time will be changed to the day after tomorrow!"

"At that time, no matter how strong the wind is, even if you use a knife, you have to launch it."

The director nodded after hearing this and immediately went out to prepare his comrades.

"Comrade Li Fenghua, you must pay attention to the air testing at all times."

"Don't worry, leaders, we will never relax."

"good!"

…

The next day, Yang Xiaotao woke up early and prepared to get up.

In the tent, Ran's father got up when he heard the sound, and the remaining two people also got up.

"How's it going? Are you too excited to sleep?"

Han Sanfeng was wearing clothes and teasing Yang Xiaotao.

They were the first people to see the mushroom eggs explode.

This time it’s more about the missiles!

"A little bit, but more of an excitement!"

Yang Xiaotao said unabashedly, "If the two are combined successfully, it means that we can also bully everyone from a distance?"

Ran's father looked at him angrily, "You're still bullying people. Is this casual?"

"How old are you? It's still important!"

Yang Xiaotao continued to laugh, and Han Sanfeng and others also laughed.

After cleaning up his personal hygiene, Yang Xiaotao followed Ran's father to prepare for dinner.

I came back late last night and didn't see many people.

Today, I saw many familiar people.

"Comrade Xiaotao, how did you sleep last night?"

While cooking, Mr. Wang came over with a big vat, accompanied by several acquaintances.

They are all from the Seventh Machinery Department.

Ran's father greeted him when he saw him, and Mr. Wang waved his hand, but looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"No, I almost fell down yesterday. I need to talk to Mr. Huang and the others when I get back."

"Hey, I have to go back and complain!"

Mr. Wang smiled, and the people around him also heard about what happened yesterday, and one by one they came forward to ask about the situation.

Mr. Wang came closer to Yang Xiaotao, "Don't worry, it will never be like this when you go back!"

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand quickly after hearing this, "You'd better stop talking. It's better to take the train when you go back."

"Not only is it safe, but you can still sleep and eat."

"I think it's pretty good!"

Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Okay, we'll make arrangements for you to go back however you want!"

"However, the time has to be postponed!"

While talking, others also looked over.

Ran's father asked, "Is it because of the weather?"

Mr. Wang nodded, "The wind at the impact point today was too strong, so the time will be changed to tomorrow."

After everyone heard this, even though they had already prepared for this, they were helpless.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much, he was just a spectator.

It doesn’t matter when you perform.

With that said, the two of them carried the jar to the window, had breakfast, and walked around the base.

Mr. Wang, Father Ran and others had to go to work. Yang Xiaotao was walking around the base alone for a while. If he had nothing else to do, he was going back to the tent to read a book.

Anyway, the day passed quickly.

"Eh? Lao Wang, what's wrong with you?"

As soon as I arrived at the tent, I saw the self-destruction director who came with me yesterday hunched over and vomiting.

Yang Xiaotao quickly stepped forward and slapped him, but the other person kept retching.

"No, it's okay!"

The director of self-destruction said with difficulty, "Maybe it happened yesterday, it will be fine after a while!"

vomit…

"No, it's been a whole night and you haven't recovered yet. Your body needs some exercise."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, and Director Self-Destruction shook his head, "I'm in good health, maybe it's because of the plane ride."

Maybe he had almost vomited, but now he stood up. Although his face was pale, he felt energetic.

"Yes, I was frightened and frightened along the way, but there were a lot of things."

The two talked for a while, and then Yang Xiaotao returned to the tent and read a book while leaning on the pillow.

After just looking at it for a while, Yang Xiaotao felt that he couldn't lift his eyelids and felt sleepy.

The next second, the book fell on his face and he snored.

Ahem...

He didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but Yang Xiaotao suddenly heard a cough coming from outside. Then he moved the book away and opened his eyes.

Ahem...

vomit…

Another coughing sound followed, and then a sound indicating retching.

When Yang Xiaotao heard that the voice was wrong, he quickly got up and left the tent.

I thought it was the self-destructive director, but what I saw was someone else.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and patted his back, and the man shook his head.

"I don't know, I just sat in the tent for a while, and suddenly I felt coughing and nauseous."

"Spit it out and it will feel better."

After the man finished speaking, he recovered a lot.

Yang Xiaotao felt relieved and then guessed, "It might be something related to the altitude, altitude sickness!"

The man nodded and left.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the direction the person was leaving and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Looking up at the sky, it was already noon, but the wind was still blowing. No wonder I postponed it until tomorrow.

During lunch, Ran's father came back.

It is said that they went to check the observation equipment again, but Yang Xiaotao did not ask for details.

But while eating, Yang Xiaotao found that a few people were not here.

Among them were the director of self-destruction and the people he met in the morning.

Yang Xiaotao felt uneasy, so after eating, he went to the director of self-destruction.

As soon as he entered the tent, Yang Xiaotao saw a person lying on the bed on one side.

Yang Xiaotao wanted to say something else, but saw that the other party was sleeping with his eyes closed, so he stepped forward.

"Old Wang, wake up, it's time to eat!"

"Old Wang?"

After calling twice, the other person still didn't respond. Yang Xiaotao saw that his face was a little red, so he stretched out his hand to explore.

"You have a fever, you are sick!"

Yang Xiaotao immediately turned around and ran out of the tent.

Not long after, Mr. Wang brought someone over to check the situation, "I have a cold!"

The military doctor who came with him took his temperature, checked again, and then said seriously, "Just prescribe some medicine and you'll be fine!"

Everyone was relieved to hear that it was a cold.

"It's just a cold. I thought there was something else."

"By the way, there's another person you can show me too."
