Chapter 144 Mountaineering
"Of course it's useful. I know approximately how many meters the dividing line is!"
This was such a pleasant surprise that everyone couldn't help but feel happy.
"Do you usually do so much preparation for your classes?" Tracy admired Zhang Wei's meticulousness.
As if exposed, Zhang Wei could only humbly say: "No, I'm just a little curious about the knowledge I haven't been exposed to, so I will look it up in advance."
"Well, I thought I was working very hard by trying to complete my homework every day." Queenie seemed to have discovered a new world.
“Well, maybe I can try to finish all my homework on time next time” Hayat’s words were even more infuriating.
For domestic students, learning in advance seems to be a common way of active learning and there is nothing strange about it.
Zhang Wei could only sigh again. From this perspective, everyone was quite talented in studying, but she seemed to rely entirely on brute force. If everyone spent as much time as she did, getting all A's should be a piece of cake.
However, she did not feel discouraged. Hard work is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. It is this brute force that seems to flow in the blood of the Chinese people. This is also Zhang Wei's unique advantage.
With Tracy's help, they quickly found the boundary area of the rock strata, and only rocks and soil were allowed to be collected in the field.
At this time, Zhang Wei and the other three were staring at the yellow-green moss and the grass with lilac flowers. They didn't know them!
"Don't you know him either?" Hayat looked at Zhang Wei disappointedly.
"How can I know everything? This is my first time here," Zhang Wei said with a wry smile.
"Who is good at drawing? Can you draw it?" Zhang Wei thought regretfully of the image recognition tools in his previous life and could only resort to this last resort.
"Why do you want to paint? Although Tracy's paintings are good, but..."
Hayat put down his backpack and began to rummage through it, then picked up a black lump. "Wouldn't a camera be more useful?"
Zhang Wei: ... "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I didn't think of it just now. I only remembered it when you said you wanted to draw it, haha!"
Zhang Wei feels that although teammates occasionally hold him back, it’s still a very happy feeling to be suddenly carried away by them.
Their climbing speed was not really fast. Zhang Wei felt that at least half of the people had surpassed them. She and Queenie could only accommodate Tracy and Hayat's speed.
However, there was no need to compete for first place this time. Zhang Wei looked at the time and realized that they would not be able to record the weather conditions in the morning. They could only try to record the weather conditions at noon or even in the afternoon.
After their unremitting efforts, they finally reached the top of the mountain at around two o'clock in the afternoon.
The top section was the most difficult because the wind was so strong. Even though Zhang Wei tied his hat tightly, he still felt the wind blowing into his body.
Fortunately, there was no snow on the mountain today. Although there was a little sunshine, I couldn’t feel the temperature at all. There was several centimeters of snow on the ground, which looked very cold.
There are still people wearing shorts! Even though they are wearing jackets, they look cold.
It must be said that foreigners are brave enough.
In fact, Zhang Wei didn’t know whether they were really not cold. Logically speaking, she was in good physical condition now and had been exercising for so many years, but she was still afraid of the cold.
"Is he really not cold?" Zhang Wei couldn't help but ask. Perhaps her roommates could give her an answer.
"What's the big deal? My brother was bathing in the snow last year!"
Hayat looked at the boy in shorts with some disdain.
"Actually, I was planning to wear shorts because they are less restrictive and more convenient for climbing mountains," Queenie said as a matter of course.
They still hadn't answered Zhang Wei's most curious question, so she asked again:
"You really don't feel cold?"
"What's so strange about being cold? It's just cold," Queenie said, feeling a little puzzled.
Tracy finally understood what Zhang Wei meant:
"Vera means that if it's cold, you can wear more clothes, right?"
Zhang Wei nodded repeatedly.
"Being cold is just a very common feeling. It doesn't hurt or itch. It will go away after a while. What's there to worry about?"
Queenie's words left Zhang Wei completely speechless. Even when she was frozen numb, she said she didn't feel anything. It seems that foreigners are really not afraid of cold legs.
Putting aside the issue of girls having cold bodies, Zhang Wei gave them a scientific explanation of the causes of arthritis and rheumatism, and then told them that the reason so many people are in wheelchairs when they are old is because their legs are cold.
"It's incredible, Vera, that you even know about medicine. But I've never heard of this before. Where did you see it?"
"This is a medical skill passed down from ancient China, a summary of thousands of years of experience of Chinese doctors."
What she didn't say is that this is common knowledge known to almost everyone in China, young and old, male or female. It does not require any learning at all and is passed down through word of mouth from the elders.
"Is that true? But aren't the internal organs the most important part of our bodies? Oh, and the brain, but the head isn't sensitive to cold at all because it has hair."
"The limbs are just flesh and bones. It is the brain that controls the limbs, and it is the heart that supplies blood."
"Is that why everyone wears cotton coats on the upper body and shorts on the lower body?!"
Zhang Wei thinks that Queenie’s statement should represent the thoughts of most foreigners. Then it makes sense for down vests, which have a big market abroad. It seems that they only want to protect their internal organs!
"I heard that painkillers are never sold on the shelves of Chinese supermarkets. They can only be bought in pharmacies. This shows that paying attention to this aspect of protection is effective."
It was Zhang Wei's first time to go to the supermarket here, and he was shocked to see those large bottles of painkillers with hundreds of tablets on the shelves. No matter where they felt pain, there was nothing a few painkillers couldn't solve.
"Well, once we learn more, maybe we can make a project to discuss it?"
Zhang Wei felt that he couldn't convince them at once, so he made a temporary suggestion.
"I think it's interesting and we can give it a try." Tracy agreed.
They walked and talked, and soon arrived at this famous weather station. Although it was famous, it looked very small.
There were only three small houses with some instruments surrounded in front. Many students were already observing and recording around the instruments.
The highest shelf is the wind speed sensor, which is spinning happily at this moment. There is also a rain sensor that is only about one meter high, a sunshine meter, a lightning locator, and of course the most common thermometer and hygrometer.
What they had to do was actually much simpler than Zhang Wei had imagined. All the instruments were controlled by computers, and they only needed to go to the control room and copy down the data.
However, the researchers in the control room would not give them the data easily. They needed to get the correct data from an instrument first.
This was not difficult. Zhang Wei and her team identified three or four species in one go. The researcher even provided them with data for the early morning and early morning, which meant that they had completed their task and did not need to wait until five in the afternoon to go down the mountain.
