"Can this kind of old antique still be used?" Suisui asked suspiciously, "And there should have been video tapes in the 1970s, right? Why are such old antiques still used?"
"Maybe it is Because film can be stored for a longer period of time."
As Wei Ran spoke, he emptied his backpack and stuffed the heavy film into it until he was sure that the one Ji Ma moved out had a projector pattern on it. After the machine was indeed installed in the wooden box, he said, "Don't move it out yet. There is no electricity in this place, and you can't play it when you move it out. Let's look around to see if there are matching curtains to take with us."
"Victor, there is a fuel generator in my plane that can provide power." Alili said proactively.
"Then let's go to the bottom of the mountain and take a look. It's too troublesome to carry the generator up." As Wei Ran spoke, he stuffed another reel of film into his bag.
With him taking the lead, Suisui and Alili immediately emptied their backpacks and stuffed as much film as possible into them. Jima, on the other hand, found a rolled-up curtain on top of the cabinet in the corner not far away.
They took as many things as possible, and after Alili locked all the lockable doors inside and outside, everyone stepped on the slippery steps and carefully returned to the foot of the mountain. On the side, there is a building that stores a large amount of weapons and ammunition.
When Jima and Alili moved the generator from the plane, Weiran and Suisui also used the leather blower found in the wooden box containing the projector to carefully clean the projector and Not a lot of dust. But they were not sure whether the projector would still work after being left there for so long.
While waiting anxiously, Alili started the generator, and Weiran also followed the instructions on the inside of the wooden box and fixed the film film that was first stuffed into the backpack on the projector. . Jima also hung the worn curtain on the wall on one side of the conference room.
"Let's start!"
As Wei Ran spoke, Alili immediately turned on the power. As the beam of light accurately landed on the curtain, Suisui, who was in charge of lighting, immediately turned off the clustered flashlights tied together with tape.
As the film reel rotates, exciting music comes from the small speaker attached to the projector box, and a cutscene consisting of the logos of the CCCP and the Soviet Academy of Sciences also pops up on the slightly curled curtain. .
Immediately afterwards, the picture on the curtain was replaced by a demonstration animation. At the same time, a male voice narration with a thick Soviet accent also began to introduce in detail the mission, flight trajectory, and their mission of the Venus 8 space probe. The four people simply did not understand the work and stayed away.
Finally, when the demonstration animation ended, a huge yellow planet appeared in the slightly pulsating screen.
At the same time, everyone sitting in the conference room also knew through the narrator’s introduction that what was captured in this slightly blurry picture was actually the distant Venus!
They didn’t have to wait long, the voice of the narratorAt one hour, the sound coming from the speakers turned into a strange noise, like a heavy rain. The ever-shaking picture was replaced by diffuse yellow and frequent lightning.
For the next 50 minutes, the picture being played on the four-person curtain in the conference room attracted all the attention. Everyone watched the strange scene on another planet attentively. Waiting patiently for the black surface to get closer and closer.
Finally, after the video being played shook violently, the camera was completely flush with the surface of Venus. However, before the smoke and dust could calm down, the video fell into darkness. Immediately afterwards, the narration sounded again, introducing in an excited tone the various precious data collected during this exploration activity. But unfortunately, these are still professional knowledge that none of the four of them understands.
After the entire roll of film was played, Jima said with unfinished content, "Is this the end? Victor, hurry up and change the roll, maybe you can capture aliens or something!"
p>"Are you dreaming?" Wei Ran shook his head in confusion. After Suisui turned on the flashlight for lighting, he randomly picked up a reel of film and replaced it.
However, this time is different from just now. Apart from the continuous demonstration animation, there are no real shots at all, and apart from various mysterious noises that are strange and irregular, Besides, there’s even no narration.
Jima, who wanted to see if there were any aliens, changed the film again, but Wei Ran was pulled out of the conference room by Suisui, who wanted to go to the bathroom and was afraid of the dark. However, less than five minutes later, an exclamation came from the bathroom!
Wei Ran, who was holding a flashlight outside, immediately shouted, "Suisui, what's wrong?"
"It's snowing outside!"
Suisui He rushed out of the bathroom, pulled Wei Ran in without saying a word, pointed at the light leaking gap in the cement-sealed glass window and said, "Look outside!"
Wei Ran put his eyes closer Looking closer, I looked out through the gap that was only the size of a brick. In less than two hours, there was already heavy snow falling outside, enough to block my view!
"Go back to the conference room first!" Before Wei Ran finished speaking, he pulled Suisui and ran out of the bathroom and rushed into the conference room not far away.
“Don’t look for aliens yet!” Wei Ran said, holding up a flashlight, “It’s snowing outside, very heavy snow!”
“Is it snowing?” Ali Li and Jima immediately realized something was wrong and rushed out of the dark conference room in no particular order.
When they returned to the first floor and pushed open the heavy iron door, huge snowflakes were immediately blown in by the strong wind.
"Can the plane take off now?" Wei Ran squinted his eyes, raised his arms and asked in a high voice while blocking the snowflakes from blowing on his face.
"It's too dangerous!" Alili responded in the same voice, "We need to move the supplies on the plane in immediately, because there will be a snowstorm soon!"
"Suisui, stay here!" Wei Ran shouted over his shoulder. Without waiting for the latter to reply, he bent down and rushed out following Alili and Jima.
Facing the strong wind mixed with a large amount of snowflakes, the three people struggled to move to the side of the plane that seemed to be floating up at any time. After Alili opened the door, they immediately got in and began to carry supplies down.
Fortunately, they had taken precautions against possible snowstorms before coming, so they were extremely well prepared for food, drink and supplies, and even brought an extra foldable sled. .
Thanks to this small sleigh, the three of them only made two trips to get everything into the building.
When Alili and Jima closed the iron door and the wooden door inside properly, the manic wind outside immediately became inaudible, but after a while, the snow that was blown into the lobby on the first floor It's enough to cover the feet.
"Ji Ma, didn't you say you read the weather forecast and said the snowstorm won't come for two or three days?" Wei Ran asked while letting Suisui help him shake the snow off his body.
"Um..." Jima said awkwardly, "I was looking at the weather in Inta..."
Alili was stunned when he heard this. He was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, because Ta was on the west side of the Ural Mountains, and they were now on the east side of the Ural Mountains. In other words, the weather in Inta hundreds of kilometers away has no reference for them at all!
Knowing that he had done something stupid, Ji Ma took the initiative to carry the two heaviest barrels of kerosene, and said awkwardly as he walked up, "How about we go see those films? Maybe wait and see The snow stopped after that."
"I would rather find an alien and capture you idiot."
Ali cursed angrily. Then he apologized and said to Wei Ran and Suisui, "Sorry, it seems you have to stay here for a while."
Wei Ran didn't care, he had nothing to worry about in the first place, he just didn't know. Suisui, is there anything urgent?
Seeing Wei Ran and Alili looking at her, Suisui immediately waved her hands happily and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry to go back."
In this case, everyone was relieved. After making up their minds, they each picked up some supplies and headed upstairs. The four of them went back and forth five or six times. By the time they moved everything to the conference room where the film had just been shown, Jima had already opened a window blocked by bricks and cement, and could barely see outside. situation.
In addition to being surprised by the violent snowstorm outside, everyone was also surprised by the construction quality of this building. Although it has been abandoned for so many years, the doors and windows are surprisingly well sealed, so even if they get there, There was no sound of wind in front of the only window that could see the outside.
The more this happens, the more obvious it is that this observatory was originally stationed by the Soviet military. Together with this, Wei Ran couldn't help but think about what would happen if Ji MaAnd the troubles that may come after Alili made this place a tourist attraction.
But there is little point in thinking about these things right now. How to survive the blizzard outside the window is the most important thing.
After taking a short break, the four people placed the brought supplies on the conference table one by one. Suisui took her mobile phone and said, "There are 80 liters of kerosene used for heating and power generation, various vegetables and meat. There are two large boxes of cans, one large box each of vodka, condensed milk and Leba, and two kerosene heaters. Alili, why do you bring so many things on the plane?"
"All of them? The patrol team usually prepares it."
Alili explained honestly, "We often encounter this kind of horrible weather in winter. Sometimes we have to find a place to land outside and wait for several days before we can find a chance to fly. Go back. In addition to these, there is still a lot of spare fuel on the plane, which is enough for us to last for half a month."
Wei Ran looked at the supplies on the table and felt relieved, " In that case, what should we have for dinner?"
"Let's make do with canned food first."
While talking, Alili picked up a small stainless steel pot and said, "I'll go downstairs to get it. Light the snow. Go to other rooms now to look for anything you can use to burn. I don’t know when the snow will stop. It’s better to save the kerosene.”
“ While the snow is not too heavy, I will go to another building to take a look!"
Jima, who had been looking out of the window, picked up the rifle on the table while speaking, "I just seemed to have it! I saw some animals running into that building. Maybe we don’t have to just eat canned food at night.”
“Do you want me to go with you?” Ben and Suisui had already walked out of the conference room. Wei Ran asked.
"No, I can handle it by myself."
Ji Ma was eager to make up for his mistake, and without saying a word, he grabbed a gun and caught up with Ali who was walking downstairs. Inside, only Wei Ran and Suisui were left looking at each other in the dark corridor.
