Chapter 293 Fly the grass and control the sand by the sea
No one could have imagined that the new round of expansion of Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry "10,000 head pastures" started from the Inner Mongolia desert. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Text.Net
The reason is that the leaders of Dalat Banner took the initiative to find Jiagu Dairy and asked Jiagu if they could make China's pasture lush in the place where foreign experts said no. Qi Zheng's reply was that nothing is impossible.
Therefore, the first grassland pasture of Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry landed in the Dalat Banner of Inner Mongolia.
Dalat Banner is located in the southwest of Inner Mongolia, north of Ordos City, and north of Baotou City across the Yellow River. The traffic in the flag is convenient, and it is known as the "north gate" of Ordos City.
In fact, Dalat Banner is located in the hinterland of the Kubuqi Desert, where arable land is desertification year by year, and many natural grasslands are degrading, which is really not a good place to build pastures.
When the local leaders wanted to develop the forage industry here and asked the experts about the feasibility, the American grass experts who came here pointed to the bare sand and said, "No, no, this land can't be planted with grass at all." ”
But in Qi Zheng's view, the Dalat Banner is not without merit.
First of all, the transportation is convenient, which is conducive to product transportation.
The second is the absolute vastness and sparse population.
In many natural villages in Dalat Banner, each family has more than 30 acres of land, but there may not be 15 laborers in a natural village. Because the strong laborers have gone out to work, the villagers who stayed behind are basically old and young, women and children.
In this context, the negotiations between Jiagu Dairy, Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and the Dalat Banner government went very smoothly, and the government immediately gave Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry 150,000 mu of land, and the follow-up can also coordinate the transfer of more land in Jiagu Ranch.
The biggest question is whether Jiagu farmers have the ability to restore the pastures, which were once rich in water and grass, but desertification has occurred due to human development and climate influences.
Qi Zheng, who has just experienced the free breeding of dairy cows on the grassland in New Zealand, intends to replicate this model in Dalat Banner.
Of course, barns and dairy processing plants still need to be built, but the top priority is the construction of pastures.
When Qi Zheng came to the location of the Jiagu Ranch in Dalatqi, he saw yellow sand flying all over the sky, and most of the land was bare, without any vegetation.
The weather forecast predicted that there would be a storm later, and it was in this environment that the flying team hired by Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry prepared to carry out the aerial broadcast.
Aerial seeding, as the name suggests, is the sowing of forests and grasses by aircraft.
In the vast wilderness and desert area in the west, aerial seeding is an important means for the earth to return to green.
According to the traditional practice of the Jiagu system, the construction of pastures in this environment requires the construction of irrigation facilities and then the planting of grass.
However, after looking at the local climate data, Qi Zheng stopped Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry from building a large-scale pivot irrigation system.
Qi Zheng suggested that the grass should be sown by fly, and then the irrigation system should be built according to the growth of the grass.
Under the coordination of the Dalat Banner government, Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry invited a certain regiment of the Western Theater Air Force Transport Search and Rescue Aviation, which is currently the only one responsible for aerial seeding and afforestation, to carry out aerial seeding operations for Jiagu Ranch.
Flying broadcast is the first experience of the Jiagu system, and Qi Zheng also boarded a Y-5B plane after obtaining consent, and randomly took off to carry out the aerial broadcast operation.
The "Green Eagle" stretches its iron wings, the seeds are fluttering and sprinkled, and the mountains and rivers are dyed green after the rain - this is a poetic flying picture in the imagination of many people.
But no.
As the plane took off, Qi Zheng, who boarded the plane, found that the cabin of the plane was steamer-like and stuffy, the "rumbling" noise was harsh, and the plane was extremely turbulent, without any imaginary poetic feeling......
Of course, the view from the plane is quite spectacular.
From the porthole, the desert on one side is barren, undulating sand dunes like solidified golden waves, forming a sharp separation line with the green vegetation area of the Yellow River on the other side.
On the way to the location of Jiagu Ranch, Qi Zheng asked suspiciously, "Why do you want to fly into the air at these dangerous moments before the wind and sand and storms?"
The pilot explained: "At this time, the grass seeds can be covered by the wind and sand to avoid sun exposure, and then the rain comes, which is conducive to the germination of grass seeds." ”
"We have all figured out what clouds will be windy, what clouds will rain, and what conditions are most conducive to improving the survival rate of seeds. ”
Qi Zheng gave a thumbs up when he heard this.
Flying seeds are not as simple as scattering seeds from airplanes and landing on the ground. The flight journey from the cabin to the earth is only a few tens of meters, but for this short flight journey, the pilot has to go through a careful preparation and implementation process.
"It is necessary to divide multiple sowing areas in advance, and then the aircraft will evenly sow the seeds along a certain route and height, and pay attention to how many seeds fall per square meter. If you don't fly straight, the green belt that grows on the ground will be curved, and if you miss a belt during flying, the biological chain may break and a large area of vegetation will not survive......" the pilot recounted.
During the introduction along the way, the plane arrived at its destination.
After the start of the flying operation, the pilots were engrossed. Qi Zheng watched him fly at a low altitude like a plow, flying very accurately and steadily, not only achieving precise positioning, but also fixed and quantitative - it was really a special experience.
The efficiency of the aerial seeding operation was indeed very high, and the planting was completed in time before the wind and rain came.
On the way back, the pilot sighed, "Every seed represents a green hope, and I hope to maximize the survival rate." In his eyes, these grass seeds are like children who have traveled far away, and his responsibility is to do every detail well, so that they can settle down and take root in the earth.
Qi Zheng smiled mysteriously when he heard this.
......
By the time Qi Zheng returned to the location of Jiagu Ranch, the rain was still falling.
The rain is actually not heavy, but the locals say that it is already a rare "heavy rain".
The location of Jiagu Ranch is located on the edge of the Kubuqi Desert, and the soil is desertified, and the cultivation of pasture grass is a process of sand control.
In later generations, the Kubuqi Desert Desert Control Project was called a "green miracle".
In fact, the reason why the Kubuqi Desert can become the only desert in the world that has been managed as a whole is because it has superior endowment conditions than other desert areas.
The average precipitation of 300 mm is a real and irreproducible condition, but in addition to this, the Kubuqisha area has another even more irreproducible advantage - the water of the Yellow River.
Because of its proximity to the Yellow River, there are seasonal rivers and wetlands during the flood season, resulting in a relatively abundant shallow groundwater.
Of course, Qi Zheng is confident that the pasture will be restored here, not only because of this natural endowment.
If pasture grass is planted by conventional means, large-scale irrigation is inevitable. The shallow groundwater and tributary water consumed by this process, even if it is not pumped directly from the Yellow River, is actually no different from using Yellow River water.
The water of the Yellow River is a strategic resource strictly controlled in northern China, and it is distributed among provinces strictly according to the quota, which is the foundation of the economy and even the people's livelihood for many areas in the middle and lower reaches.
Qi Zheng has no intention of "fighting" for the water of the Yellow River, after all, an open life can challenge the common sense of geography and engineering.
"The Five Dou Cloud Rain Array (Third Order) is triggered, the main water system, and the range is 250 kilometers. The effect gathers clouds and dissolves rain. It can make the water airflow and turn wind and clouds into rain. ”
If you have divine sense, you can see that there are two relays, one end is the Dalat flag, and the other end is the Bohai Sea.
The straight-line distance between the Dalat Banner and the Bohai Sea is about 500 kilometers, and the sea water of the Bohai Sea is turned into water vapor and arrives at the Dalat Banner through the double array.
Dalat Banner already has a certain amount of precipitation, and with the addition of the "Five Bucket Cloud and Rain Array" to divert seawater across the region, it is enough to form a climate condition suitable for the growth of pasture.
Moreover, the third-order "Five Bucket Cloud Rain Array", in addition to rainfall, also has the function of locking water vapor; just like building a greenhouse that can lock water vapor over the Dalat Banner, the strong transpiration of water vapor will eventually turn into rain and return to the earth.
The development of Jiagu Ranch not only does not consume the water of the Yellow River, but in fact replenishes the water resources.
Water is the source of life, and soon after the rain, grass seeds sprout and the earth is dyed green.
"The Green Bamboo Hundred Spirit Array (Third Order) is triggered, the main wood system, and the range is one hundred kilometers. The effect moisturizes and grows. The creature is in the array, as if it was newborn, raising purple flowers, and growing vigorously. ”
Even if there is a spirit shower of rain, the environment here is still not as good as that in the southeast. However, the third-order "green bamboo lark array" can stimulate the lush growth of forage grass in a harsh environment, take deep roots in the sandy ground, have a better nitrogen fixing effect, and improve the sandy soil.
In the end, it is often as long as the roots are and how tall the branches and leaves are.
As long as the right amount of organic fertilizer, coupled with the combination of grass and pasture, and the return of cow manure to the field, Qi Zheng estimates that even according to New Zealand's grazing model, an average of four acres of land is enough to raise one cow.
In other words, the 150,000 acres of land in the first phase of the Jiagu Grassland Ranch Project can carry 370,000 dairy cows to be free-range in a grass-fed manner.
Finally, "Tiangang Wuji Array (third order) is triggered, and the main gold and water systems are two, with a range of 250 kilometers. The effect is extremely pressurized and windy. It can control the air pressure, and the wind and water rise. ”
The wind and sand are all over the sky, and it won't happen in the future.
The "Tiangang Infinite Array" can not only "generate wind", but also "disperse the wind" - the sandstorm is directly strangled in the cradle.
The rainfall gradually increases, the wind and sand are not strong, and the plants are easy to survive. Even if it is not specifically managed, the Dalat Banner will eventually slowly regain its grassland appearance.
Well, this may make the Yili Group, which governs the Kubuqi Desert, more proud, but whatever, it's not bad to have a shield.
Just when Qi Zheng took root in the Dalat Banner and made the Jiagu Grassland Ranch "warbler flying and grass growing", he received a call from Wang Yuye, "Boss, you have been exposed!"
Qi Zheng, who was changing the world to plant grass, looked confused, "Watt?"
