The heart of the Tengger Desert.

The unkempt Wei Ming supported his waist with his hands, and he almost wanted to explode on the spot.

He, a master's degree student at Peking University, wants to eat sand in this barren land for Mao?

Since joining Jiagu, after being transferred to the edge of the Kubuqi Desert to build a grassland pasture, he was transferred to the poor mountainous area of Sichuan Province to assist in the construction of a yew planting base.

He thought that his previous experience in the grassland pasture was hard, but compared with his current experience, it was simply not worth mentioning. The desert water search team faced a hundred times worse conditions – no people, no water, no electricity, no roads, no communications, no housing...... Everything started from scratch, opening roads, digging wells, and setting up tents......

The water search team had just experienced a strong sand storm last night, and the sand was leaking from the ground to the tent, and when they woke up in the morning, they found that there was yellow sand everywhere, whether it was a pillow or a body!

But no matter how hard it was, he endured it.

Because he has learned that in Jiagu, especially at the grassroots level, it is extremely rare for him to move as frequently. According to well-informed insiders, generally only those who are vigorously cultivated by the company have such opportunities. He also felt that he had indeed made great progress under this kind of high-intensity exercise.

Moreover, the salary that Jiagu gave him was really attractive. The only regret is that in the wilderness, he has no chance to spend money, so he can only invest in buying a house - the first point of Jiagu's internal investment and financial management advice, it is strongly recommended that employees invest in buying a house and the first choice for wealth appreciation.

If before he was more familiar with Jiagu's affairs and integrated into Jiagu, now he is in charge. In the desert water search team, he couldn't speak technically, but in team management and logistics management, he was entrusted with important responsibilities.

The future is promising, what is the point of eating some sand?

"Xiao Wei, hurry up and come over for dinner, otherwise the wind will rise again!" a voice came, interrupting Wei Ming's thoughts. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net

"Okay, Professor Chen!"

It was Professor Chen Jiansheng who called him. Professor Chen was commissioned by Qi Zheng as the technical guidance expert of the desert water search team, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to prove his "deep cycle theory", so the two sides hit it off.

In the windy sand season, you must wear a mask when you sleep at night, and you must speed up your meal, otherwise it will be sand bibimbap, which is the truest portrayal of life in the desert in search of water.

"When I eat, I often have to add water to the rice to mix it and sink the sand to the bottom of the bowl and eat the rice grains on it, and if I encounter a very big sandstorm, it is even difficult to make a fire to cook......," Wei Ming complained.

As for drinking water, it is even more necessary to save on drinking, and the water is transported from hundreds of kilometers away to the hinterland of the desert. It can be said that after staying in the desert for a long time, the water search team is like a camel.

Professor Chen can see it: "Such conditions are already very good, and I thought that going to the desert would be a difficult one. In my opinion, the logistics of Kagaya could not have been better. ”

Wei Ming actually knew this in his heart.

It's not that he is boasting, although the environment is difficult, Kaya has tried his best to do his best.

Today, Jiagu's grassroots policies are becoming more and more mature.

With the development of the times and the diversification of society, it is becoming more and more difficult for the grassroots agricultural production with a harsh environment and monotonous life to attract the attention of young people. In order to retain and use good people, after the new employees join the company, Jiagu is not busy with training, but first let them follow, feel and experience the grassroots life, and strengthen psychological counseling.

On the other hand, Jiagu has improved the treatment of grassroots employees and strengthened job promotion training, so as to provide more channels and opportunities for grassroots employees to move from low positions to high positions.

After this training, Jiagu employees have rich work experience and high overall quality, and can adapt to the field construction environment and collective life more quickly.

The desert water search team is composed of the best of them, and there will never be a situation where they go home because they are digging wells in the desert and leaving a sentence of "I didn't expect to be so far away from home" - there have been such moths in the team's external well-drilling team.

Of course, in addition to Jiagu's staff, the team also includes Professor Chen, his students, desert guides, and external personnel such as the well drilling team. If the team is unstable, it is difficult to ensure the search for water.

To this end, Jiagu started by improving the living conditions of the team, and even specially modified the cooking vehicle to follow the team, and the logistics vehicles reached one-third of the size of the team.

Especially in terms of diet, we should mix the diet reasonably and do our best to ensure that the team members are well fed. For example, the well-drilling construction team from Suzhou Province and other northwestern provinces like to eat noodles and beef and mutton, so the logistics department arranged for the service team to adjust the menu and try to take care of their eating habits......

Therefore, even though the wind and sand in the desert from time to time, the heat of the day, and the cold of the night once made many people retreat, they were finally moved by the logistics support of Jiagu and persevered.

Lao Zhao, the guide of the water search team, also spoke highly of Jiagu's logistics, but this made him even more incomprehensible: it can be seen that Jiagu has invested a lot of money, but isn't this equivalent to throwing money into the wind and sand?

Lao Zhao took a big gulp of hot rice and said bitterly to Wei Ming and Professor Chen: "It is not so easy to open up the desert, why should Jiagu do not spend this money? You must know that even in Mingqin, where the conditions are relatively good, there are not a few people who have paid a heavy price for this. ”

Lao Zhao is a native of Mingqin, and Mingqin, who is surrounded by the Tengger Desert, is destined to form an indissoluble bond with sand control.

According to him, in the nineties of the last century, Mingqin set off a fever for land reclamation. Because the requirements for soil quality are not very high, and the income is considerable. Driven by profits, farmers planted seed melons on a large scale, but the amount of arable land was limited, so people turned their attention to the desert.

However, the initial investment in the reclamation of the desert is large, and it is necessary to drill wells, hire bulldozers, erect high-voltage electricity, and plant trees to block the wind and sand, so it is often several companies that join forces to open up the wasteland. In the early days, a large part of the population gained a lot of money by digging wells, planting trees, and cultivating in the desert, but now it is becoming more and more difficult.

Lao Zhao told the two: "Farming in the desert is quite water-intensive, and sometimes it takes hours to bring water from the wellhead to the field. In order to facilitate irrigation, many land-clearers use the method of digging more wells to shorten the irrigation distance. Due to the large amount of groundwater pumping, the groundwater level in the desert around Mingqin has dropped from 10 meters to more than 30 meters. ”

"If you go to Mingqin now, you will find that the sand dunes around the cultivated land are very close at hand, so to speak, and those lands are completely surrounded by the sand dunes. ”

"Therefore, the cultivated land is often buried by sand dunes, and when it is buried, we dig it with shovels, press the sand with wheat straw on the edge of the ground, and then plant trees. ”

In the end, he said helplessly: "But in the past two or three years, the wind and sand have become bigger and bigger, and there is a possibility that the ground will be buried by sand." But many people can't help it, they have invested tens of thousands of dollars in these lands, what can they do if they don't plant?"

According to Lao Zhao, the villagers unanimously believe that the wind and sand have become more and more fierce year by year in the past three years, especially this spring, when the wind is more than in previous years. As a result, people who farm in the desert have an ambivalence between farming and abandoning the land - abandoning farming means throwing a large amount of money into the desert in vain, and continuing to cultivate is afraid that the harm of wind and sand will bring greater losses.

"This is still in Mingqin, where the groundwater is relatively abundant, and like you, you still have to find water resources to develop, and the input is simply like water 'injected' into the desert, which is more risky!"

Wei Ming and Professor Chen looked solemn, but neither of them was a high-level member of Jiagu, so I don't know what they thought about, and for the two of them, finding water resources as soon as possible was the focus of their current considerations.

As if to verify Lao Zhao's words, before they could start today's water search operation, a strong gust of wind and sand swept in again, and the team members could only hide in the carriage or tent to temporarily avoid the wind and sand.

The windows could not be opened, and the air in the cabin was hot and dry, and it was so stuffy that people could not breathe. The team members were all disgraced, and Lao Zhao even sighed: "This god simply doesn't let people live!"
