According to the forecast of the meteorological department, there will be no obvious large-scale precipitation process in the southwest region until mid-May, and the drought will continue to worsen.

Qi someone "hehe".

By the time the southwest monsoon arrives, the daylilies are cold.

There is a saying: "If the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain." ”

Since the water does not come to me, I will go to the water!

And as the driving force behind the scenes, "borrowing rain from the sea", someone is already familiar with the road.

"Five Bucket Cloud Rain Array (Fourth Order) trigger, main water system, range: 1,000 kilometers in radius. Effect: Gather clouds and dissolve rain. It can make the water airflow and turn wind and clouds into rain. ”

In the southwestern Gulf of Beibu, drought has not affected its prosperity, and the mariculture farms are densely distributed along the coast of Gui Province, looking down from a high vantage point like farmland as far as the eye can see.

But those fishermen who were cultivating the sea and animal husbandry did not find that countless water vapor was "pumped out" from the sea by a mysterious force and poured into the "thirsty" southwest.

......

In the Liangshan region of southern Sichuan Province, Lin Guishan's fears are becoming a reality.

It still hasn't rained, and what's even more terrifying is that there is a fire on a nearby mountain.

Smoke could be seen rising from afar, and the fire was fierce. The firefighters who had been mobilized quickly carried tools up the mountain on foot to extinguish the fire by means of fire extinguishers, throwing soil to reduce the fire, and digging ditches for isolation.

The smoke choked everyone, the flames danced in front of them like a soldering iron, roasting their faces painfully, their feet seemed to be stepping on a fire pit, and their combat boots seemed to be scorched at any time......

In a trance, it seemed that a little drop of coolness fell on his face...... Well?

The officers and soldiers who were scorched by the flames wiped their faces, looked up at the sky, and realized that it was raining!

It's not an illusion, it's really raining!

The raindrops fell, and the rain became heavier and heavier, bringing a long-lost coolness.

And the mountain fire with teeth and claws was quickly extinguished by the rain.

Cheers erupted in all directions! Although the clothes of the officers and men were all soaked, their faces were overjoyed!

"It's raining! It's raining! God has finally opened his eyes!" In the Jiagu yew base, Lin Guishan rushed into the rain and shouted. This rain is really timely rain, if it doesn't rain again, the yew will die!

Like Lin Guishan, the local villagers smiled.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, it is finally raining! The rain is not small, but this is a good sign!

They also took out water containers and filled the ground for water in the rain, regardless of the rain – people who have experienced drought are reluctant to waste water at all.

The whitened soil due to the continuous drought has become soft under the watering of this rain, and the listless yew has begun to regain its vitality, standing tall to replenish its moisture......

Taking the rainfall in Liangshan as a starting point, Guizhou Province, Yunnan Province, Guizhou Province and other areas seriously affected by drought have successively received different degrees of rainfall, and the rain is full of bright smiles.

Heavy rains have fallen in the southwest region, and the drought has been greatly alleviated.

Moreover, Qi Zheng is not fighting alone.

Although the meteorological department was puzzled by the sudden rainfall, they keenly noticed that this was a systematic transit that was very suitable for "artificial rainfall".

In many areas, there has not been a drop of rain since September last year, and the wells have dried up. The first rains can only be said to alleviate the drought in the land, and the problem of drinking water has not been solved.

The meteorological department seized the favorable opportunity of precipitation and made targeted arrangements for the largest artificial rainfall enhancement operation this year, which is multi-time, multi-point, region-wide, air-ground and joint in these severely drought areas this year.

The rockets ejected, and so did the planes...... With the "assist" of someone's continuous delivery of abundant water vapor, the rain enhancement operation lasts for a long time and the effect is very obvious.

Wells that had previously dried up due to continuous drought have been replenished by rainfall, and the problem of drinking water for the masses has been basically solved.

Under the combined effect of "natural" precipitation and artificial "borrowing rain from the sky", most of the arid areas in southwest China have "quenched their thirst" and provided breathing space for agricultural production to resume.

......

Farming time waits for no one, and no one knows how long the rain will last. After the disaster was slightly alleviated, the southwest region took advantage of the favorable opportunity when the soil was relatively moist to seize the agricultural season and sow seeds in time for rain.

Jiagu is also taking action, taking advantage of the drought in the southwest, the joint government has promoted drought-resistant varieties - potatoes and sweet potatoes in many places.

This is not only to overcome the immediate drought, but also to take a long-term view of the root cause – in the southwest, especially in Guizhou Province, there is a lot of arable land that is low- to medium-yielding and has little potential for growing rice, wheat, corn, etc.

Potatoes are drought tolerant and barren, especially in the current drought years, and the value of potatoes is even more reflected.

Many areas that could not grow rice or corn due to disasters switched to potatoes and other potato crops, which could not only make up for the losses caused by the drought to the greatest extent, but also form advantageous industries -- the "Dianhua" potato varieties and "vermilion potato" sweet potato varieties cultivated by Jiagu were selected for promotion and planting because they were drought tolerant and high-yielding.

For example, Yunnan Province, which is in the center of the drought, is a large potato growing province in China, with a planting area of millions of mu, but 80% of the planting area has been in a state of low yield for a long time, and the potential production capacity has been seriously wasted.

In the absence of a complete drought overcome, these areas are also actively guiding farmers to switch to potatoes or sweet potatoes.

Jiagu had already prepared the seedlings of "Dianshu" and "Vermilion Potato" and quickly distributed them to the corresponding peasant households; it also mobilized and organized technical personnel to go deep into the fields to strengthen drought-fighting technology extension services and guide peasant households to expand the planting area of "Dianshu" and "Vermilion Potato."

- "Vermilion potato" is a very drought-tolerant, short-cycle, fast-acting sweet potato variety, which can survive well without watering when it has just been planted in a rainy season. In the later period, if it is not for the continuous dry weather, it can grow well by relying on rainfall alone.

As always, both sweet potatoes and potato vines are bought back by Kaya.

This sweet potato is difficult to eat, but it is a good feed for pigs – Jiagu Farming and Animal Husbandry is expanding its pig breeding in the southwest, and it is just in need of more sources of feed.

- As the name suggests, "Dian potato" is suitable for processing into whole flour. This is a processed potato variety that is seriously in short supply in China, and it has great promotion value after Jiagu's trial planting in the desert.

There are more than 2,000 varieties of potatoes in the world, but only a few with a high dry matter content can be processed into whole flour – and the "Yodo potato" is proud to be among them.

Jiagu plans to build a potato intensive processing base in Yunnan Province, build Yunnan Province into a strong potato production and processing province, and explore the way for the strategy of "potato staple food".

......

Agricultural production can be described as "active in one season and active throughout the year".

Thanks to the help of mysterious "unknown" forces, although the drought in the southwest region seemed to be more serious in the early stage, the vast majority of places then rained rain, agricultural production was not significantly affected, and the work of fighting drought and reducing disasters was carried out in an orderly manner.

This has made some Southeast Asian countries, which are also experiencing severe drought, sour.

Affected by the El Niño phenomenon, Southeast Asia and the Malay Peninsula have experienced drought, water scarcity and hot climate, and the agricultural production situation is worrying.

Seeing that the southwest region of China, which should have been more affected, has slowly eliminated the drought with the help of rainfall, this vote of the country really wants to say, big brother, please bring it!
