Great Power Technology.

Chapter 236 Canglong and Phoenix

While Ye Zhou was excited about getting on the H-20, there was another person in Sichuan and Shu who also couldn't sleep, but the reason for his insomnia was different from Ye Zhou's.

This person is Wang Chao, and he is a photography enthusiast, or to be more precise, he is a wild bird photographer, commonly known as a bird shooter.

Wang Chao doesn't like this title very much, because every time he attends the gathering of the Provincial Photographers Association, he introduces others by saying "Who is this, a humanistic photographer", "Who is this, a documentary photographer", " This one is even better, this one is a war photographer", but when talking about him, people always say lightly: "Oh, this one, this is Wang Chao, he is very famous for shooting birds."

More than once, after the host introduced him, the people next to him would ask, "Is he a body photographer?" Every time, he would explain that he was photographing a real bird, a bird with feathers that can fly kind.

However, no matter how he explained, his works and words always seemed a little pale.

He has photographed red-crowned cranes, a national first-class protected animal, which is the kind learned in elementary school texts; he has also photographed goshawks hunting on the grassland, and his ferocious sense of power has moved his heart; he has also photographed snowy peaks vultures, and found in them a beauty that transcends life and death.

However, he always felt that these were not enough.

He always feels that the things he photographed have been photographed and expressed by others.

Beauty is beautiful, but it is still a little bit less interesting.

What is the point of this?
He thought for a long time but didn't figure it out, but fortunately, a recent piece of news gave him inspiration.

In a certain mountainous area in Sichuan and Sichuan, a flock of Chinese pheasants has been very active recently.

In the descriptions of some other enthusiasts, this group of golden pheasants are like elves in the mountains, often strolling on the treetops, against the colorful vegetation, just like the legendary phoenix.

Phoenix?

Isn't this the "slightly less interesting" I was looking for?

Wang Chao immediately decided to go into the mountains to look for traces of the Chinese Pheasant Pheasant. He even made preparations to stay in the mountains for half a month in advance. I can't hold it any longer.

For this reason, he specially took his wife with him, and the two of them carried 40 kilograms of supplies and equipment on their backs. After arriving near the mountain by car, they trekked in the mountains for two days and rested several times before finally arriving. The scheduled shooting location.

If it weren't for both of them maintaining the habit of exercising for a long time, such high-intensity off-roading would really be unbearable.

And now it is the 10th day of their squatting. They have already set up a temporary camp at the shooting location. Their daily life is to stare at the camera with a telephoto lens alone, and rest and cook by the side.

They dare not start a fire, but they have prepared a simple solar cooker, which can store energy for a day and have a hot meal of noodles at night.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun had gradually set to the west. Wang Chao was still staring at the camera, waiting for the appearance of the Chinese golden pheasant.

In the past few days, he has caught a total of 3 golden pheasants. However, the time they appeared each time was too short, and there were many unsatisfactory aspects of the photos taken, so it has survived until now.

The wife at the side had already cooked the noodles, she carried the lunch box with chopsticks and walked to Wang Chao, patted his shoulder and said:

"Come on, eat first, I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Wang Chao shook his head and replied:

"Eat first, you have a bad appetite these two days, you need to eat more hot food. If you can't take pictures tomorrow, let's go down the mountain. No matter how important this photo is, it is not as important as your body."

The wife put the lunch box beside him with some amusement, then sat down cross-legged and said:

"I'm just tired of eating dehydrated food. How can it be so serious! It's hard to come here, and I can take pictures. If you don't take satisfactory photos, you won't be reconciled."

"Don't worry, I know my body well. When I accompanied you to the Gobi to look for eagles, it was not as difficult as it is now? I'm not in good shape."

Hearing this, Wang Chao felt a little guilty.

His wife was picked up on the road by himself. Back then, he went to Northern Xinjiang to collect scenery by himself, and happened to meet his wife and his party from the archaeological team who also went to Northern Xinjiang for investigation. The stalker stayed in the archaeological team as a team photographer, pestering and chatting with each other every day, and after a field trip, the two finally got together.

Mo Feng, this girl who is less than 30 years old is indeed like a strong wind blowing in the desert, wandering, but fascinating.

But now she has a home.

Not only do I have a home, but even when there are no projects in the archaeological team to take a long vacation every year, I have to run around with me to realize my pursuits that others seem to be a bit illusory.

Wang Chao's eyes were a little astringent, he gently squeezed his wife's shoulder and said:

"You have worked hard with me in the past few years. Don't worry, after I take a satisfactory photo, I will stop doing this. I will honestly switch to commercial photography and make good money. We should have a child too."

Mo Feng shook his head and replied with a smile:
"Aren't you making a lot of money now? You can earn tens of thousands of dollars by photographing birds, which is much more than what I can make in the field next time."

"That's not enough! I, I wish I could give you all the best things in the world. When I earn enough money in the future, I will arrange everything for you, such as villas, swimming pools, and massage rooms."

Mo Feng was scanning the opposite mountain with a telescope in his hand, and she felt a little amused when she heard Wang Chao's words.

Are all men like this?
They always think that what women want is a stable and comfortable life, but in fact, if they really want those things, they would not join the archaeological team from the very beginning, and it is impossible to know the man in front of them.

She was about to explain, but a touch of red was suddenly reflected in the field of view of the telescope.

Mo Feng's expression lifted, and he subconsciously lowered his voice and said:
"coming!"

Wang Chao on the side quickly dropped his lunch box and went to the camera. After constantly adjusting the magnification of the telephoto lens, he finally caught that touch of red.
-
No, not just red.

It's a mountain elf with a crown on his head, emerald jade around his neck, a body as red as a flame, and a long golden-brown tail!
He excitedly continued to adjust the focus, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was far more than one golden pheasant in the lens this time.

"This time, let me count. 7, no, 8. No, hey! There are more and more! Wife, are they having a party here today? There are so many!"

"I saw it too. There are at least twenty of them. There are males and females. This is courtship?"

"It's possible. Now it's almost the courtship season of the Chinese Pheasant Pheasant. Help me keep an eye on the viewfinder. I'll look for an angle."

"Okay, concentrate on looking, I'll show you the viewfinder."

After getting his wife's response, Wang Chao began to concentrate on adjusting the focus, and the camera kept wandering among the mountain elves, taking one beautiful photo after another.

If we keep shooting like this, we can call it a day, right?
Wang Chao thought to himself.

However, just as he was adjusting the lens, he suddenly discovered a strange thing appeared in his field of vision.

That's a black spot.

A black spot suspended in the air with an irregular shape and faint blue light.

"Honey, take a look with a high-powered lens. Is there a UFO in the sky over there? It's just a little bit next to the tallest pine tree on the top of the mountain."

Hearing this, Mo Feng immediately set up the high-power mirror, and after looking at it, she opened her mouth and replied:

"It seems to be a UFO. I can't see it clearly with this lens. It's too far away, but it doesn't look like an airplane. How can an airplane hang in the air without moving? I can see it breathing fire from below."

"Could it be some newly developed aircraft? Is there a military base near here?"

Mo Feng shook his head.

"I've never heard of it! If there were a military base, we wouldn't be able to get in. Could it be that they flew over from somewhere else? But it's flying in the mountains, and it's suspended in the air. I really don't know what it is. thing."

Just when they began to try to point the camera at the aircraft, the two suddenly discovered that the flames at the bottom of the unidentified aircraft disappeared.

Then, in what seemed like an instant, the outline of the aircraft began to enlarge at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"I'm going! It's an airplane! Wife, what kind of airplane is this?"

"You ask me, who do I ask? Wait, you put the camera down first, you can't take pictures of this thing!"

Wang Chao nodded, and began to operate the camera lens to return to the area where the Golden Pheasant Pheasant was located, and then replied:

"I'm not going to shoot it, I'd better shoot my bird."

"No, it's flying over!"

Following Mo Feng's exclamation, Wang Chao subconsciously looked at the viewfinder frame, and then, in the viewfinder frame of the small aperture lens, he saw the most unforgettable scene in his life.

That strange aircraft came across thousands of mountains with a thundering sonic boom, its flight trajectory was almost close to the treetops above the mountain peaks, a dazzling blue light lit up its tail, its silhouette became more and more Bigger and clearer.

Then, just a few seconds before it was about to fly over the mountain opposite them, the plane suddenly pulled up at an incredible angle, and a noun learned from a movie flashed in Wang Chao's mind.

Cobra maneuvers.

But it's not just a simple Cobra maneuver.

After climbing to a certain height, the plane began to fall like fallen leaves. At a certain moment, Wang Chao almost thought that it was about to crash due to an operation error.

However, just one second after this thought was born, majestic flames spewed out from the tail of the plane again. In those blue flames, as many as 10 or more dazzling halos shone with thrilling light.

The falling speed of the plane stopped suddenly, and it began to hover in the air strangely.

Afterwards, the nose of the aircraft fell slowly, and the fuselage, which was originally perpendicular to the ground, gradually became parallel with the turn of the wake.

It's like a helicopter.

This was the strange flying thing he saw first, floating in the air.

The plane was still flying forward slowly, and the soul-stirring roar not only made Wang Chao and his wife tremble, but also frightened those Chinese Pheasant Pheasants who were originally at ease.

At this moment, the golden pheasants who were not good at flying took off desperately to escape. They spread their radiant and colorful wings and flew towards the orange sky.

Wang Chao's fingers moved towards the shutter almost uncontrollably.

At this moment, he felt a certain calling.

Dark gray aircraft exuding a sense of metal and mechanical power, dazzling blue wake, golden pheasants fleeing in all directions, and the dim but gentle vast sky
The shutter is pressed.

Mo Feng looked at Wang Chao in surprise, and then her eyes turned to the camera screen.

There, a preview of a photo is being generated.

Moments later, both of them saw this photo that was enough to go down in history.

In the photo, in the sky above the mountains, the black dragon and the phoenix fly together!
