Embers Ad Infinitum

Rarely is anyone willing to listen to the experience of that year. Lao Zhao stood at the door of the warehouse, reminiscing and talking happily.

But in the experiment he participated in, he went back and forth in a certain place on the icefield, wearing single clothes, thicker clothes, and padded jackets, staying for different lengths of time, and then entering the simple house for inspection, no other tricks, boring and boring.

Jiang Baimian judged based on the ice field data provided by the company and collected by himself, that the temperature experienced by Lao Zhao and the others ranged from minus thirty or forty to plus five or six degrees Celsius.

It's all over zero, what kind of human cold tolerance experiment? As a former researcher, Jiang Baimian felt that there was a mismatch between the experimental purpose and the experimental plan.

She suspects that the data the company is really looking for isn't about hardiness.

"What items do you have when you check your body?" Jiang Baimian asked with consideration.

Lao Zhao seriously recalled for a while:

"I checked everything, head, neck, chest, stomach, hands and feet..."

I can't tell what kind of data I want to collect... Long Yuehong mumbled inwardly. .

"What impresses you the most?" Shang Jianyao's focus is always wrong.

"Aren't all inspections the same?" Lao Zhao didn't quite understand this question, "I remember that it was still cold in the simple house."

Papapa, Shang Jianyao applauded with satisfaction.

He seems to want to get the answer of "the deepest impression is cold".

Lao Zhao was obviously stunned by his applause, and the village chief beside him was also stunned.

Jiang Baimian secretly sighed and helped explain:

"My colleague likes to be playful, saying things that others can't understand, and doing strange things."

"Oh..." Lao Zhao suddenly realized, "There were such people among the volunteers at the time."

"Could it be my half-brother? What happened to him later?" Shang Jianyao asked eagerly.

Lao Zhao shook his head:

"I don't know, he is from another settlement.

"He was quite calm at first, and then he showed his joking side. Later, when the experiment was over, I went back to the village, and I don't know where he went."

"Some people show their true self only when they are familiar with each other." Shang Jianyao said in a tone of "I understand very well".

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and took this matter to heart.

She turned to ask:

"How many people came back alive from your experiment?"

Lao Zhao's wrench index counts:

"Sixty or seventy percent, the manager said that the experiment itself has few deaths. If it weren't for the fact that many volunteers were recruited from various settlements, their health seemed to be okay, but in fact, they were very weak, and they would not have died 30 to 40 percent.

"Hey, most of the living people also have all kinds of frostbite, and some have brain freezing problems, crazy."

Have a problem with your brain freezing? Jiang Baimian has not done similar experiments or read the corresponding reports, so he is not sure if this is normal.

She looked sideways at Genova.

Genava, who was wearing a burqa, shook his head, indicating that he had no corresponding knowledge in his database.

Jiang Baimian didn't ask any more questions. First, he was too curious, and it was easy to get suspicious. Second, Lao Zhao obviously didn't know much, and he should have said almost everything he could remember.

"Being a volunteer is hard work, thinking back then, I..." Shang Jianyao's actions of sharing the past were forcibly stopped.

Jiang Baimian interrupted his words:

"Okay, let's go in and pick up supplies."

The village chief winked, and immediately said to Lao Zhao:

"Open the door, and I will lead the distinguished guests in."

When Lao Zhao opened the warehouse door, Jiang Baimian casually asked the village chief on the topic just now:

"Was the company's scientific research team that went to the icefield last week large?"

"It's not big." The village chief replied indifferently, "There are only five or six cars and twenty people. It seems that half of them are volunteers."

After finishing speaking, the village chief smirked and said:

"Compared to you, the scale is still quite large."

"How many days did they stay in the village?" Jiang Baimian smiled and changed the subject.

"Three or four days, um, less than one point in four days." The more the village chief recalled, the more certain he became.

At this time, the door of the warehouse had been opened, and he led the "Old Tune Team" to go inside.

Jiang Baimian said "um":

"I'm going to the icefield, they must have replenished a lot of supplies, right?"

"Fortunately, half of their cars are equipped with various machines, er, instruments." The village chief shook his head.

Jiang Baimian suddenly showed a curious expression:

"What kind of cars do they drive? Can they hold so many instruments?"

"Just an ordinary off-road, the trunk has been modified." The village chief replied casually.

Jiang Baimian asked a few questions that did not seem to involve secrets around the scientific research team, and they all got satisfactory answers.

Then, the "Old Tune Team" began to select materials according to their needs.

When the corresponding materials were moved out of the warehouse and onto their jeeps, Jiang Baimian browsed the bill given by the village chief and paid the contribution points with his own electronic card.

At this time, there was still some time before noon, Jiang Baimian led Shang Jianyao and others to take a walk in the cliff village.

Most of the villagers went to work in the fields, and a few stayed at home, doing needlework while watching their children, or dealing with different affairs in the public office.

They saw that the "old tune group" were very enthusiastic, and from time to time, villagers wanted to invite Shang Jianyao and others to be guests at home.

"Young man, little girl, come to my house for dinner at noon!" An old lady older than the village chief was basking in the sun by the window. Seeing the "Old Tune Group" passing by, she quickly got up, walked out the door, and shouted loudly.

Before Jiang Baimian could respond, Shang Jianyao said on his own initiative:

"We can't help you join the company!"

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then smiled:

"I'm already old, how can I dare to think about joining the company?

"I'm happy to see the company's people. If it wasn't for the company that took us in and gave us a way out, how could I have lived at this age and gave birth to several children? Now I don't have to work in the fields!"

Jiang Baimian took a step to the side, stood in front of Shang Jianyao, and said with a smile:

"We appreciate your kindness, but we have other business at noon."

She saw that this family was obviously not as wealthy as the village chief's family, so she was embarrassed to eat their meals.

The old lady waved her hand regretfully:

"If you have a chance, you must come to my house for dinner!"

Jiang Baimian and others waved their hands in response.

After walking a little further, Long Yuehong said sincerely:

"The company is really respected and welcome here..."

In the past, he would definitely be proud and proud of his identity as an employee of "Pangu Biology", but now, just thinking about it makes him anxious and melancholy.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"No matter what the purpose is, the company has done a lot of good things for settlements like Cliff Village, bringing tangible benefits and clear hope."

"Yes." Bai Chen agreed.

The "Old Tune Group" went to Shuiwei Town this time, and found that there have been many good changes there, and it is a little prosperous.

The honest Genava analyzed:

"It's probably because the chaotic years and early New Years were a nightmare for most settlements, like living in hell."

There is a comparison to be grateful.

Lao Ge, you don't need to be so profound at this time... Jiang Baimian couldn't help but slandered.

Going around, the "Old Tune Group" returned to the office, planning to rest for a while and then have lunch by ordering.

Long Yuehong stood by the window, looking at the mountains and bridges in the distance, and asked with concern:

"Leader, what are we going to do next?

"Go to the icefield to track the research team? But they have been gone for more than two weeks~www.readwn.com~ If there are any traces left, most of them will be engulfed by ice and snow."

Jiang Baimian was sitting beside his bed, stretching his legs and muscles.

Hearing Long Yuehong's question, she smiled and said:

"The rest of the week here."

"One week?" Both Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were obviously a little surprised.

It must have been a long break, right?

Shang Jian Yao suddenly realized:

"You want me to empty out the secrets of the guy in room '506' as soon as possible?"

"This is one reason." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "The other reason is that I calculated it just now. Based on the number of people in the previous scientific research team and the materials they carried, they couldn't stay on the ice sheet for a full month. Although the death of the volunteers will reduce the consumption of food, the oil that should be used will still be used. Similar scientific research teams will inevitably reserve enough materials for the return journey to prevent possible accidents. That is to say, they have another week. It’s almost time to return to Cliff Village to replenish supplies.

"It's really hard to track them down the ice sheet, but we can wait for them here."

Slap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded.

Only then did Long Yuehong understand the meaning of the questions the team leader asked before.

Some seemingly insignificant details can play such a big role!

He was about to say something when he suddenly saw a motorcade approaching from a distance on the other side of the road bridge across from Cliff Village.

Dragon

Yue Hong frowned and said to her companions:

"A group of people came to Cliff Village, but it didn't look like the company's. The cars were all tattered."
