With money, technology and materials, Wang Yuye was full of confidence and took the initiative to plan to increase the development of the desert.

On the other hand, even though the Olympic Games are in full swing, the country's leadership has attracted attention by the proposal submitted by Jiagu and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, "Ideas for Building Reservoirs and Comprehensively Transforming the Ecological Environment of the Al-Shanxi League".

If what the motion says is true, it will be a turning point in the strategy for the large-scale development of the western region, and it will even have a bearing on the national economy and the people's livelihood.

However, the crux of all the scenarios lies in the so-called huge aquifer connected to Lake Baikal.

For such a grand plan, the judgment of Academician Yuan, Chen Jianzhang and others is not enough to be credible. Therefore, the state sent a luxurious expert team composed of geologists, ecologists and geophysicists to the Arakan League for on-the-spot exploration and demonstration.

The expert group was led by a key leader of the Land and Resources Bureau, and Qi Zheng also rushed to the desert water point after receiving the news.

As the team approached the desert water point in a helicopter, someone in the team exclaimed.

The sky in the desert is unusually blue, and when the pure sky is reflected in the purer water, it is so blue that it is breathtaking. From afar, countless sand dunes are connected and layered on top of each other, dotted with a large patch of green, as if forming a large interlining with an intricate pattern, and this golden yellow lining is supported by an oval blue gemstone.

Qi Zhenghe and Academician Yuan, who had been studying here, greeted the arrival of the expert group.

"Old Yuan, I think there is a gap between this lake and the information, it seems to be even bigger?" Academician Yuan's acquaintance in the expert group asked straight to the point.

Academician Yuan and Qi Zheng looked at each other and smiled: "Two more wells were drilled in the back, and the water output was even greater." ”

"What is the daily output of a single well?" someone asked again.

Academician Yuan smiled: "You may not believe it, but so far, the daily output of a single well of the largest well has reached nearly 50,000 cubic meters!"

"How much, Lao Yuan, did you say one more digit?"

Academician Yuan shook his head helplessly and said: "Actually, the well is just a name, I think it is more appropriate to describe it as a spring." The bottom is like a pressurized water pump, as long as the water layer is opened, the groundwater gushes out directly, and it is all directly drinkable groundwater...... We'll find out when you do the field. ”

“......”

The news was so shocking that no one spoke up for a while.

In particular, some old academicians and experts who have been engaged in groundwater research for a long time have been completely aroused, and they have even carried out exploration work with advanced instruments and equipment without waiting for them to be settled.

The country's shot is naturally extraordinary.

The expert group not only used remote sensing technology, but also brought the introduction of the "EH-4 conductivity imaging system" and the only direct water finding method in the world, "nuclear magnetic resonance method" and other geophysical prospecting technology methods, as for isotope technology and computer technology, it is not worth mentioning.

Qi Zheng was calm and composed.

Isn't it the water that comes from Lake Baikal? It's not like nothing like that.

Why does the sand of Badain Jaran contain water, and why are there so many seas in the desert with scarce precipitation?

Experts have found that after the snow melts in the Qilian Mountains, it continues to enter the desert through faults deep underground. In other words, the glacial snowmelt of the Qilian Mountains, 500 kilometers away, is the source of the water of the Badain Jaran Desert, and at a depth of 10,000 meters, the two are connected by a hidden underground river.

In the same way, the underground river leading to Lake Baikal is only deeper and more hidden.

Northwest China has a vast territory, and the hydrogeological conditions are very complex, and the degree of groundwater resources exploration and research is generally low. I don't know how many new types of water and water-rich areas still need to be studied and explored, isn't it a deep water system? Anyway, there is Professor Chen's deep circulation theory to explain, and no one will doubt himself at all.

......

Having state-of-the-art equipment means you can do whatever you want.

The Panel was the first to confirm the existence of a separate deep groundwater system.

However, this is only the most basic exploration, and if you want to build a large reservoir, you need to determine at least the total amount of water resources in the deep water system and the annual water output, and there are more complex impacts on the upper crustal aquifer and ecological impact assessments.

But the experts were already encouraged by the initial results.

The leaders of the Ministry of Land and Resources who led the team all sighed: "The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the key is the water. There is water and an oasis, and there is no water and it is yellow. Regardless of whether the reservoir is repaired or not, the discovery of Jiagu has changed some traditional hydrogeological concepts and provided valuable information for re-understanding the status of groundwater resources in Northwest China. ”

Qi Zheng can only "hehe", I really want to say that this is really an example, don't take it seriously!

The panel was bogged down in more intense exploration arguments. Although the conclusion has not yet been reached, Qi Zheng also knows that there are two fierce debates in the expert group about the proposal to build a reservoir in this area, "repair" and "non-repair", and there is even more disagreement about the transformation of the desert.

Qi Zheng asked Academician Yuan, who was most familiar with him, to inquire about the news.

"The controversy is quite intense!" Academician Yuan said bluntly.

"Some people say that we should learn the lessons of the Hongya Reservoir and build a reservoir in a desert area, which is easy to raise the groundwater in the reservoir area, so that the surface water will be salinized due to strong evaporation. Moreover, the reservoir itself is heavily silted, has a large area, and has a large evaporation capacity, which violates the harmony between people and water in arid areas. ”

Hongya Reservoir is built in the desert, which is rare in the country and even the world, and is the largest artificial desert reservoir in Asia, known as the "Pearl of the Hanhai Sea".

However, its construction caused devastating damage to the water supply of Qingtu Lake, leading to the desertification of the area, and finally the two deserts of Tengger and Badain Jaran converged and approached the oasis at a rate of 8-10 meters per year.

"Of course, there are more people who agree with building a reservoir to change the ecological environment in the northwest. In the hearts of the people of the Northwest, there is nothing more important than water. It has been proven that water resources have a close impact on the development of regional economies. ”

Thanks to the benefits of the Yellow River, Ningxia has diverted the Yellow River irrigation area with fragrant rice and fish fat, melons and fruits are fragrant, drought and flood are safe, and the township is rich and the people are safe, becoming the famous "plugging the south of the Yangtze River"; Yaer Village in Xinjiang Province, a qanats that have flowed for more than 200 years have made this village full of vitality. The grape trellis is full of grapes, and the village is full of merchants and merchants, and business is prosperous; the crescent moon spring in Suzhou Province has become a unique scenery outside the Seychelles with its unique natural landscape of sand mountains and springs reflecting sand mountains......

"The most important thing is that the water is going to the sand, and the first ecological defense line in the north of our country is facing a grim form. Water shortages in the northwest have not only affected the local area, but also spread to the wider region. For example, sandstorms in the north. It is urgent to improve the ecology of Northwest China. ”

Academician Yuan paused and continued: "As for transforming the desert...... There are also some people who think that sand is different from deserts, that sand is mainly created by people and can be managed; that deserts are formed in geological epochs and cannot be governed in theory, and that there is sand hundreds of meters underground, so how can you make it disappear? No matter how you plant trees and grass, they are only temporarily covered, the climate is dry and cold, the grass and trees are dead, and the sand dunes start to move again with strong winds. That's why they say that deserts can only be managed and controlled, and they can't disappear through transformation......

Qi Zheng: "......"

Academician Yuan finally said calmly: "Actually, I think that no matter how you argue, in the end, it depends on the results of water resources exploration, and there is practice, and practice brings true knowledge." ”

...... Well, what you keep saying makes the most sense.

The Panel should be of the same view. It just so happened that Jiagu drilled another well a little further away from the "lake". It is also on another "tributary" that happens to branch off from the "underground river", which allows them to have more adequate exploration data.

The wellhead was opened, and an amazing scene occurred, and the clear groundwater rose into the sky, like a high-pressure water cannon.

The eyes of the experts are straight!

Academician Yuan squinted at the water column and muttered to himself: "This True Hanhai Pearl can't run away!"
