During more than a week in Kirov, Weiran took some photos with almost all models of film cameras in Leva's camera shop. The content of the photos was also at Leva's request, covering various light intensities and
Angle conditions, while also taking into account composition and other aspects as much as possible.
Although in the end there were less than ten photos that Leva thought were pretty good, Wei Ran was particularly satisfied.
After all, his original intention was just to learn how to operate and use various film cameras. This goal has been successfully achieved in this week. As for the remaining composition skills and so on, they were completely unplanned gains, so there are still
What can't be satisfied?
On the other hand, although Leva finally accepted the expensive camera Weiran gave him as a gift, he also refused Weiran's payment for consumables in the name of a friend.
Even before parting, I gave him a set of original close-up lenses that can be used with Rolleiflex dual reflex cameras, several filters of various colors, and a lens hood as gifts.
Of course, also given to him as gifts were the two group photos in the darkroom on the second floor of the camera store, and the electronic versions of the two group photo negatives - even though Wei Ran did not win the original hunting competition.
As a thank you, before leaving, Wei Ran used a pressure cooker to make a large pot full of pork knuckles for the old guy.
After bidding farewell to this old friend who was obsessed with photography, Wei Ran took the flight and rushed back to Kazan alone.
When he drove the off-road vehicle that already belonged to Jima back to the shore of Kaban Lake, far away, he saw that the yard attached to the workshop he bought had been re-enclosed with a new wall, and it was connected with Dali next door.
Ya is completely connected with the yard where she lives, just adding an extra door on the side of the workshop near the lake shore.
Not in a hurry to go home, Wei Ran parked the car on the side of the road and looked at the construction site full of Chinese faces with interest.
Now, the roof of the workshop and most of the three-layer peeled-off windows have been removed. Even the gantry crane in the workshop has been transported outside the workshop and covered with a transparent plastic sheet.
Nowadays, all that is left of this large workshop is a four-meter-high concrete wall around it, and a steel structure poured into the concrete wall that extends upward to a height of seven or eight meters. Of course, there are
In the workshop, a sunken space on the first floor is also cast entirely with concrete.
At this time, the workers were busy removing rust and strengthening the steel structure, and applying layers of protective paint.
“It moves pretty fast”
Wei Ran muttered to himself, but did not get out of the car, but drove directly into the yard next door.
When he opened the door and walked into the room, he found that both Suisui and Katenka were busy working on a laptop.
Even the two little foxes and the much larger Belial puppy were lying on the floor with their buttocks sticking out, each biting a teething stick.
"What are you busy with?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
"The first group of tourists will arrive in less than half a month."
Suisui said while flipping through the computer, "During the National Day holiday, there were a total of three groups of guests. Although the total number of guests was less than a hundred, it was enough to keep us busy."
"Do you need my help?" Wei Ran sat down on the sofa and picked up the Belial puppy that came over.
"If you really want to help, you can be my tour guide then." Suisui said jokingly.
"Boss, car, we need a car." One of the Katenka sisters reminded in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Suisui patted her forehead, hugged her notebook and approached Wei Ran with a flattering look on her face, "How about you help us get a car? A car with more space would be best."
"Can't my pickup truck work?"
"Your old car is quite big, but how many people can it seat?"
Suisui typed on the keyboard a few times and sent out a PPT before saying, "We need a car with a larger interior space, preferably one that can seat five or six people."
"That's easy to say, is there anything else?"
“Buying a car is enough”
Suisui looked at the two sisters who were busy at another table next to her, rubbed her hair again and said, "Anfiya said we'd better get a server. Although I don't know what the use is, the last time I bought the next door
During the workshop, the various information she found was of great help."
"Speaking of this"
Among the Katenka sisters, the one wearing a floral dress and long hair sat up straight and said, "Boss, the workshop next door found a few on the north and south walls of the part that had sunk one floor a few days ago.
The sealed room."
"It's right under our yard and the yard next door," another short-haired girl wearing denim overalls took over.
"If we get a set of servers, we can choose one from those rooms." The long-haired man paused, "But it needs to be dust-free, which will cost a lot of money."
"Wait a minute." Wei Ran had to call a timeout and asked helplessly, "Who is who among you two?"
"Amphiya" the girl in a long skirt and long hair responded simply.
"Anfisa" the girl with short hair and denim overalls spread her hands, "I am my sister."
"I'm the younger sister," Anfiya added, as if she was at a disadvantage if she said less than the other one.
"Are there any good things in those rooms?" Wei Ran brought the topic back.
"At present, only some casting molds, some mechanical equipment and a set of power generation equipment have been cleared out. The rest is nothing."
After Anfisa finished speaking, Anfiya also responded, "Several gangs sent by Mr. Jima...gym members are watching those rooms 24 hours a day, and not a single screw is missing."
“You can go there and have a look”
Suisui, who had been silent just now, picked up the tablet on the sofa and operated it for a while before handing it to Wei Ran, "Also, here are several renderings sent by the construction leader. You can choose between them and see which one to use.
.”
Hearing this, Wei Ran took the tablet and flipped through it, stood up and walked out while asking, "Do you have any other requirements for the car?"
"No requirements," Suisui said nonchalantly, "Just a decent color. Also, no Watts bread."
"understood"
Wei Ran made an OK gesture, and with the dog at his feet, he walked through the iron gate between the two yards and walked towards the workshop where the Tianling cover was lifted.
His arrival naturally attracted the attention of Ji Ma's younger brothers and the contractor. This contractor, who spoke with the same local accent as himself, was about forty years old at most. After seeing the foreign guard coming over, he left his old man.
Yuan blew the whistle hanging around his neck.
When the whistle stopped, everyone who was working on the steel frame overhead also stopped. And the contractor had already handed a safety helmet to Wei Ran.
"Uncle Li, I didn't bother you, did I?" Wei Ran asked somewhat flattered.
"No problem, just call me Lao Li, it will look younger!"
The contractor waved his hand and said with a smile, "I didn't ask everyone to stop to greet you. I was worried that the guy in their hands might accidentally fall down and hit you. Brother Wei must have come to see what we dug out.
Those are the rooms?"
"really"
Wei Ran nodded, said hello to the gangsters sent by Jima, and then asked, "Can I go in now?"
"Wait a moment"
The foreman surnamed Li signaled Wei Ran to wait at the door of the workshop for a moment, until the workers above him all descended to the ground quickly along the ropes, and then he said, "Come in now."
"Your process is really strict," Wei Ran couldn't help but sigh.
"As soon as the customer enters the construction site, all construction workers must stop and return to the ground." The contractor surnamed Li smiled and added, "This is good for everyone."
"makes sense"
Wei Ran did not delve deeper into this topic. Under the guidance of the other party, he walked to the center of the workshop.
Although the interior of this workshop is said to have sunk one level down, in fact this level is almost four meters deep.
However, the width of this floor is a little smaller, so between the ground on both sides of the sunken floor and the concrete wall, not only were the rails of the gantry crane laid, but there was also a corridor almost three meters wide on each side.
.
But the last time he came here, the walls on the north and south sides of the sunken floor were not only painted with green dado and white wall paint, but also had many posters with the characteristics of the times.
But now, the wall paint on both walls has been removed, and there are four more two-meter-square entrances and exits on the north and south walls.
"How did you discover this?" Wei Ran asked curiously.
"We originally planned to test the structural strength of the wall to see how much weight the steel frame above could bear."
Lao Li, the contractor, pointed to the entrances and exits on both sides and said, "But when the workers hit it with a hammer, they found that the sound was wrong. We originally thought that the inside was empty because of the foundation settlement, but when we tried to punch it in, we found that it was completely empty.
It's empty."
Old Li paused, then motioned to the workers next to him to turn on the power and let a high-power lighting light illuminate the nearest room. Then he continued, "After we opened it, we found these entrances and exits.
It was covered by a layer of bricks, and later the rest were discovered one after another."
After passing through this two-meter-square entrance and going up a few more steps, except for the smell of sludge that lingers in the 100-square-meter space, as far as the eye can see, there are just a lot of things neatly placed.
Large and small casting molds, as well as a machine that seemed to be a lathe.
Continuing to look from room to room, Wei Ran had a look of surprise on his face.
There is no difference in the size of these eight rooms. Except for two adjacent rooms that contain an oil storage tank and a set of fuel-fired power generation equipment produced in the 1980s, the remaining six rooms all contain various items.
Molds, and equipment such as lathes, milling machines, and boring machines.
Although Wei Ran couldn't see the significance of the machining equipment wrapped in thick sludge, he recognized the two sets of molds in one of the rooms, which were used to cast T-34 tank turrets and T-
64 tank turret. I can’t help it, it’s clearly written in red paint.
After walking around, the contractor Lao Li said on the side, "Although these equipment have long been outdated, I think they are in good condition. How about Brother Wei give them to me as project funds?"
"Are you interested in these things?" Wei Ran asked in surprise.
Old Li smiled honestly, "I have an auto repair shop in Volgograd, maybe I can use it."
Hearing this, Wei Ran hesitated for a moment but then shook his head, "Uncle Li, I plan to keep these things for myself. If you are willing to help, help me repair them together with the gantry crane outside and clean them at the same time. I plan to clean them in the future."
They are used as ornaments. Of course, you will definitely receive the money you deserve."
"Using this thing as a decoration?" Lao Li looked at Wei Ran with a strange look on his face. Four big words were clearly written on his face - are you sick?
"I bought this workshop just for displaying things." Wei Ran responded naturally, making the other party not sure how to continue the conversation.
