After staying in the hot spring camp for a full two hours, until Gorman and Anna had soaked enough in the hot springs, Alili ordered the reindeer sled and took the four of them and one dog back to the abandoned track.
Under the supervision of the two teachers, Weiran and Jima each controlled the plane to taxi, take off, and climb. Soon after, they crossed the Ural Mountains and landed smoothly near the abandoned military base.
The changes here are also not small. In addition to the hunters who have arrived here in advance to wait for tourists, this abandoned military base has been surrounded by a three-meter-high barbed wire fence like a hot spring camp to avoid being attacked by wild animals.
All kinds of scrapped military equipment that were originally scattered and discarded were all cleaned up and sent to unknown places.
Secondly, the steps leading to the mountaintop observatory actually have a corridor that is strong enough to withstand wind and snow. Thanks to the local wood, which is almost free, the materials used in this corridor are extremely solid. From a distance, you can even see this
Glass windows appear every now and then in the corridor.
But what is even more exaggerated is that not far from the abandoned military base, at a pass with strong winds, two obviously DIY wind turbines were installed.
"Jima, those two generators are..."
"That's right!"
Ji Ma, who was leading the way to the observatory on the top of the mountain, replied proudly in the affirmative before Wei Ran could finish, "We made it ourselves. The fan blades were removed from several abandoned helicopters. How about it? It looks like it."
Isn’t it very exciting?”
“It’s so exciting.”
This time, not only Weiran, but also teachers Gorman and Anna looked like they had seen a ghost. The two generators built on wooden frames were four or five meters above the ground, and the huge helicopter fan blades were outside.
, and even wrapped in a wooden frame.
"Jima, which genius made this for you?" Gorman, who was holding the husky, couldn't help but ask.
"It's a gentleman named Galkin"
Jima pointed to the radar station at the end of the corridor and said, "That kind old guy helped us repair the telescope in the observatory. By the way, he also used these things to help us build two wind turbines. Although they are indeed a little noisier.
, but the generated power is enough to provide basic lighting for this camp.”
"Galkin?"
Gorman and Teacher Anna looked at each other and spread their hands with a dull expression, "I haven't heard of it, but if the other person is not a genius, he must be a madman. What idiot would think of using helicopter blades?"
"Mr. Gorman"
Jima emphasized calmly, "This is not Kazan, and we don't have that much money, so as long as it can provide us with free electricity, let alone helicopter blades, it doesn't matter even if it's a tank turret rotating on it."
.”
Gorman smiled, but did not continue the topic. He just urged Jima to move forward and take them to the observatory on the top of the mountain.
Everyone climbed up the steps paved with wooden planks and walked directly into the clean observatory along this airtight corridor.
In the large circular space, the most conspicuous thing is the huge optical telescope, but in the inner corner, there are several curtains and several old-fashioned projectors with period characteristics. After Jima turned on the power,
It began to spin, playing the pictures taken from Venus that were discovered here, or the structural explanation of a certain type of artificial satellite in the Soviet era. At the same time, the old-fashioned speakers hanging on the wall also began to play the corresponding pictures.
sound.
The four people and one dog patiently watched the not-so-long video. Ji Ma stepped on the power switch on the floor with his toes, raised his finger and pointed at several fuel generators outside the window and said, "If you just play videos, watch them before."
The power provided by the wind turbine is enough, but if you want to move the telescope, you need to start an additional fuel generator outside."
"Just those few generators are enough?"
Wei Ran asked in surprise. He remembered clearly that the five-story building on the left hand side at the bottom of the mountain was specially used to generate electricity. In other words, the power consumption here back then was absolutely terrifying.
"I also had this question at the time"
Jima smiled and explained, "But Mr. Galkin explained that it does not require much electricity to drive the astronomical telescope. At that time, the main power consumption was basically used to supply the computing unit and the living needs of the people stationed here."
Electricity. Of course, even the generators we prepared will burn oil after all, so this telescope will become a paid item in the future. Victor, how about we plan to charge according to the standard of one thousand rubles for 10 minutes?
"
“Inexpensive”
Wei Ran simply said that you can experience a Soviet-era astronomical telescope for less than 100 yuan. For tourists who are willing to come here, this price is almost equivalent to free money.
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Jima breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to several large oil heaters placed against the wall and said, "In addition, this observatory can also be used as a banquet hall for parties. Even if someone holds a Soviet-style wedding here, it will not matter."
question."
"What idiot would come to a place like this for a wedding?"
Teacher Anna looked at the surrounding furnishings, sighed and said, "If the Soviet Union was still there, why would you let you bastards ruin this observatory like this? It should be used..."
“So it’s a good thing the Soviet Union is gone, isn’t it?”
Gorman didn't wait for the former to finish speaking, and before Wei Ran and Jima could speak, he faced Anna and said meaningfully, "Rather than continue to be abandoned here, it would be good for these young people to use it to create value again."
Result, isn’t it? Comrade Anna?”
Teacher Anna, who usually doesn't like to talk much, was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes... luckily he's gone... Okay! Little guys, take us down there to have a look."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ji Ma and Wei Ran looked at each other, and left honestly with the two teachers and the dog who seemed to have become a lot smarter.
The observatory.
"The power building on the left is basically used as a warehouse now."
Jima led everyone to the five-story building on the right and said, "All the weapons, ammunition, fuel, food, drink and supplies are all placed in that building. In addition, we also use the summer time to
Two Ural trucks were restored and used as means of transportation, and they are now in that building."
Before they finished speaking, an Inta female hunter who had been waiting at the door had already helped them open the door with the animal skin curtain, and then everyone felt the heat wave coming towards their faces.
“The heating system here has also been repaired by us.”
Jima said proudly, "Before the Ob River froze, we rented a cargo ship to transport a lot of coal here. Even if we burn it continuously every day, it is enough for us to last the whole winter without any problems. From now on, this building will
It will be used to receive tourists, and food and accommodation will be provided here.”
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to recoup the cost?" Teacher Anna couldn't help but ask. Along the way, she saw too many familiar things and too many unfamiliar things.
"We really didn't make much money."
Jima led everyone to the second floor and continued, "In other words, all the money I earned from here was invested here."
Before the three people following him could speak, Jima pointed at Aunt Inta who looked to be in her fifties and said, "But at least they made a lot of money, right?"
"Jima, I'm starting to admire you as a bastard."
As Gorman spoke, he handed Dima a cigarette and joked, half seriously and half jokingly, "You are like the best Soviet guy."
"Thank you, but smoking is prohibited here."
Jima solemnly put the other person's cigarette in his ear, and then explained with some shyness and embarrassment, "I just want to be a person like Principal Nicholas. It was with his help that my parents left the school."
I am not as powerful as Mr. Nicholas, but I can at least make the lives of Inta’s friends more comfortable.”
"You'll definitely make money"
Wei Ran said with certainty, although this guy and his Inta friends used a lot of patchwork methods, they managed to give the two camps a different flavor. Based on the experience he had in his aunt's travel agency
Judging from the experience of working part-time for several years, this exactly caters to the appetite of tourists for novelty.
"Speaking of this, Victor, I want to talk to you alone." After Jima finished speaking, he looked at Gorman and Teacher Anna apologetically.
The two teachers were happy and happily took the silly dog to look around the building, leaving enough space for Jima and Wei Ran.
"Is there any trouble?" Wei Ran looked at Jima and asked.
"Let's talk somewhere else?"
Jima was not in a hurry to speak, and walked into a conference room with Wei Ran. He personally brewed a pot of Chinese jasmine tea that he didn't know where he got it from, and then said after careful consideration, "Victor, I plan to
I’m going to concentrate on being an actor.”
"What do you mean by this?" Wei Ran looked at Jima in confusion.
"Mr. Gorman said I have a talent for acting."
Ji Mahua pulled the back of his head and explained with a look of longing, "And I talked with Principal Nicholas, and he also agreed that I try to be a professional actor, or a professional actor in your Time Film Studio, saying
Maybe I will really become a star in the future!"
"So?" Wei Ran put down his tea cup and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
"I want to give up these two camps," Jima suddenly said his decision.
"Abandon these two camps?"
Wei Ran looked at the other party in surprise, "You have made such a big investment here, and you are planning to give up before you even start? Jima, did your head get kissed by the mouth on the butt of a brown bear?"
