Altitude: about 5300m Warm! Take a hot bath on the plateau The internal scene of the washing center of an army unit stationed in the training ground. Photo by Han Qiang "It's really comfortable to take a hot bath on the snowy plateau." on November 26, stepping on the thick snow, the author came to the field training ground of an army unit at an altitude of about 5300 meters. The officers and soldiers were taking a bath and having their hair cut in the washing center, and bursts of laughter came from time to time. The washing center of the Department is made of composite thermal insulation materials. It is equipped with a washing table, a barber's room and a shower. A total of 32 pressurized shower heads are installed. The author notes that the heating system and water supply pipeline in the shower are specially designed to raise the water temperature to the preset temperature within a few minutes. When the officers and soldiers are washing, the warm air opportunity runs continuously. Ye Zhenyu, the person in charge of the cleaning center, said that even if the outdoor temperature drops to about minus 10 degrees Celsius, the indoor temperature can be maintained above 30 degrees Celsius. The cleaning center has also printed a manual on use specifications and published a support hotline to facilitate the timely feedback of opinions and needs of officers and soldiers. Chen Xiaoyun, a sergeant who controls the water temperature at the front desk, told the author that people could not wash hot water on the plateau, and could only wipe them with hot towels. Chen Xiaoyun is the support personnel of the power generation system of the Ministry. When overhauling the machine, he often gets oil and diesel oil on his body. Now, with the cleaning center, Chen Xiaoyun's "diesel flavor" is gone, and the whole person feels fresh. "The conditions are difficult, and the guarantee work should be combined with reality and adjusted to local conditions." the leaders of the Ministry introduced that the construction of the cleaning center was inspired by the sunshine plank house. They solved the problem that the pipeline is easy to be frozen and cracked by improving the house structure and heating system. Today, the shower square warehouse has been seamlessly connected with the accommodation board room. Even in bad weather, it will not affect the normal washing of officers and soldiers. As night fell, the plateau training ground blew snow. The light in the washing center lights up on time. Staff sergeant Wang Xiaohui, who returned from duty, said: "seeing this light, my heart is very warm." (Yu Kangfei, Han Qiang) Temperature: minus 47 degrees Celsius fabulous! Don't worry about eating vegetables in extremely cold days Internal scene of constant temperature vegetable cellar of a brigade of Xinjiang Military Region. Photo by Zhao Xinyu "The 'gold medal roast whole sheep', 'spicy boiled fish'... These 'hard dishes' greatly increase people's appetite." on November 23, a brigade of the Xinjiang Military Region stationed in training on the snow covered plateau at an altitude of 5000 meters organized a dinner, and delicious dishes were placed in front of the officers and soldiers. "In order to make everyone eat well, the logistics support personnel really spent a lot of thought." the Chief Secretary Wei Kai told the author that the local minimum temperature in winter can reach minus 47 degrees Celsius. Since the brigade was stationed in training, they were worried about adjusting their food when the snow closed the mountain. "We can fight whatever war we have. We should not only rely on the rear supply, but also make self reserves." Wei Kai said that through practice and exploration, they found that the pit storage method is better. Later, according to the suggestions of logistics support personnel, the brigade overcame many inconveniences in the plateau area and built thermostatic vegetable cellars for each training point. It is understood that this kind of vegetable cellar adopts the thermal insulation method of "thermal insulation board + electric heater", which can maintain the temperature at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius. The surrounding walls are also equipped with moisture-proof partitions and moisture-proof pads, which can effectively control the humidity. In order to enrich the dishes, they also added many earth pots in the vegetable cellar to store frozen dishes. Now, there are nearly twice as many varieties of winter vegetables as in previous years. In addition, the officers and men also actively explored the cooking methods of meals in plateau areas, and found out the cooking time and the proportion of water added according to the boiling point of water at different altitudes. They also carried out the activity of "one table of specialty in each battalion", let officers and soldiers be judges, and promote the practice of listing new dishes every month. "Even if the mountain is closed by heavy snow, everyone can eat delicious food." Sang Rongrong, a battalion instructor, introduced. (Zhang Zicheng, Zhao Xinyu) (outlook new era)
