Chapter 322: Are You Really Going to Enter the Desert?
June. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Text.Net
The junction of the Northwest Su Province and the Mongolian Province, as well as the junction of the Teng Geli Desert and the Badang Kirin Desert, is where Qi Zheng stands. Just when the sun was setting, looking at the desert under the setting sun, I never thought that the sand dunes could be so beautiful and diverse.
The quiet beauty and mystery of the desert are certainly attractive, but Qi Zheng prefers to turn it into a "land of abundance" with thousands of acres of fertile land, canals and trees.
The other end of the Baikal "underground channel" extends here.
Some people say that deserts, like lakes, glaciers, and oceans, are all children of nature, and they should not be "treated" entirely.
To some extent, Qi Zheng also agreed, but the Tenggeri Desert and the Badankilin Desert should not be among them.
Just because both have the potential for large-scale development.
With a total area of about 430,000 square kilometers, Tenggeli Desert is the fourth largest desert in China. The sand dunes, lake basins, mountains, and flatlands in the desert are staggered. Especially in the south, there are many lake basins, and the Yellow River flows through them. Therefore, shallow groundwater is relatively abundant, and the water quality is good, which is a high-quality water source for insisting on drainage and irrigation.
With a total area of 4.92 million square kilometers and less than 40 mm of annual precipitation, there are more than 100 lakes in the desert. It is considered to be the source of frequent sandstorms in China, and the overall ecological status is further deteriorating. However, many scientists insist that the desert oasis will not disappear if it is known and used wisely, and that the desert oasis will not disappear if it is rich in deep groundwater beneath the Badankielim and can be used wisely.
Qi Zheng also confirmed this: "Perspective" strata, even without the "underground channels" he built, there is a large amount of deep groundwater hidden under the vast desert - although in terms of concentration, it should be more saltwater.
But now that there is fresh water from Lake Baikal, there is an abundant water supply, and the local light and heat conditions are superior, once the sandy land is improved into fertile soil, the rich northwest will not be a dream. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Text.Net
If this desert area is well developed and managed on a large scale, Qi Zheng estimates that it can increase the cultivated land area of nearly 100 million mu for the country.
Thinking like this, Qi Zheng's eyes brightened, "Launch, Fourth-Order Blue Wave Qinghua Array!"
Thousands of miles away at the bottom of Lake Baikal, the rocky walls of the river are slowly squeezing outward, but the "underground estuary" has been washed away, and huge amounts of fresh water are surging along the slowly expanding thousand-mile river.
"The northwest becomes Tianfu, starting from today!"
......
After returning to the Jiagu headquarters after the "vacation", Qi Zheng pulled the management to discuss the latest ideas.
"You mean, we should march into the desert?" Wang Yuye looked at the big boss who suddenly wanted to enter the desert after walking around the desert, and looked helpless.
Qi Zheng nodded calmly.
Wang Yuye covered his forehead: "You know that water resources are the key factor restricting the development of deserts, right? The northwest is already dry and short of water, and the desert is even worse, why can't you think of going to the desert?"
Qi Zheng smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to object, let's talk about it after reading this information." ”
Wang Yuye and others took the information and opened it: "Deep Cycle Theory?"
The "deep circulation theory" should have been a research result officially put forward by Professor Chen Jiansheng of Hehai University in the middle of next year - there may be deep circulation water in the desert of northern China, thus putting forward the idea of deep circulation of groundwater for the first time in the world, breaking the traditional hydrogeological theory that groundwater is limited to circulation in the upper crust.
After Qi Zheng suddenly remembered this theory one day, he sent someone to contact Professor Chen, only to learn that he had already had the prototype of the "deep cycle theory", and now he has a preliminary theoretical basis.
According to Professor Chen's research on the water balance of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there are serious leaks in lakes and rivers in the plateau's inflow area, with an estimated annual leakage of 100 billion cubic meters. According to Professor Chen, these seepage water is discharged in the plains on the periphery of the plateau in the form of a deep circulation across river basins, with one water being discharged from west to northeast along the suture zone between the plates, passing through the Northwest Desert and the North China Plain, and the other water being discharged from west to southeast through Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangzhou, and other regions.
Therefore, Professor Chen suggested that there may be deep circulation of water in the desert in northern China, and the depth of the circulation is about 122 kilometers to 200 kilometers.
According to the "deep circulation theory", if you find a water-conducting structure such as a crater or a fault zone located on the "natural channel" of the deep water cycle, you will find an outlet for the water flow.
As far as Qi Zheng knows, this theory made a breakthrough a few years after it was proposed, and found a way in the Badangirin Desert that meets the national mineral water standard: "This is just a theory after all, and it has not even been verified......
Qi Zheng said: "But this is at least one direction, isn't it?"
In Qi Zheng's view, this theory is very suitable as a theoretical basis for Jiagu's search for desert water sources. What does it matter if it is not the seepage water from the plateau that is finally found, but the water of Lake Baikal? Anyway, scientists can always give a "scientific" explanation.
Wang Yuye rubbed his forehead: "Even if you find water resources, have you thought about it, developing the desert requires huge investment." Wind prevention and sand fixation, irrigation facilities, and sand improvement...... These require a lot of money and manpower investment, I dare not say that it must be a loss-making transaction in the end, but the huge investment will definitely slow down the development of Jiagu!"
The sandy land developed by Jiagu in Northwest Su Province can only be said to be a small fight, and it will not have much impact on the overall development of the group, but looking at Qi Zheng's current meaning, it is to enter the desert on a large scale, which requires huge resource investment, and the impact on the group is great.
Qi Zheng was solemn: "I know that the investment is huge. However, if we subvert the traditional concept and take the desert as wealth, we will find that the desert is an opportunity for the great development of Jiagu. With the decrease of cultivated land resources in the eastern part of the country, the pressure on the country's cultivated land resource reserve area is also increasing. If we want to buy large-scale contiguous arable land resources in China, there is no more choice than to ask for arable land in the desert!"
"It's not even a business development issue, it's a national issue. Everyone knows how scarce our country's resources are relative to the large number of people. In fact, the land is very far away from us, and as Jiagu, who aspires to become a leader in the agricultural field, he should choose to face the difficulties in the desert!"
Everyone looked at each other, and when it came to this, no one could not feel Qi Zheng's will.
But is it really going to enter the desert? This goal is undoubtedly more risky than Jiagu's previous strategic decisions.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Qi Zheng suddenly smiled: "Besides, it's not that there will be large-scale investment soon, at least you have to find water resources first." Without water, everything is nonsense. ”
Hearing this, everyone laughed. Oh, is it necessary to think so much? If you can't even find a water source, it doesn't make sense to go deeper.
Wang Yuye then smiled and said, "Then find water first?"
"Then find water first!" Qi Zheng also smiled and nodded in confirmation.
