Chapter 980: Town Planning

As a model project, Zhang Fan cares very much about the management plan of the library.

In addition to the development of agriculture and animal husbandry, a desert park is set aside here. This desert park is not large, only a few hundred square kilometers are planned, but this area is enough for tourists to enjoy here.

Compared to other deserts in China, the Kubuqi Desert is the easiest to manage. Because the transportation to the library is more convenient, there are railways, there are highways, so it is more convenient to transport materials.

But even then, the amount of money that needs to be invested is a very large investment. The main cost is the cost of infrastructure.

If it is an ordinary treatment, only planting trees, then the cost is very small. However, after that kind of governance, the benefits generated are relatively small.

Now that it has been governed, Zhang Fan wants to solve the problem at one time. After all, the contract life of these places is 100 years, and when the governance is completed, it will be a huge money printing machine, which will generate a steady stream of profits every year.

After the meeting, the Green Shade Group also took action. The funds are from Zhang Fan's personal account, and the group's funds are not borrowed.

Zhang Fan's personal account is not short of money. Every year, 20% of Longteng Group's profits go into Zhang Fan's personal account.

In addition, there is also the big killer of Bailong Pharmaceutical. Money is easy to solve, but the most important thing is needed to develop these places.

This thing is nothing else, but people. People are the foundation of society, and if you want to develop here, the most important thing is to gather people.

If you don't gather people, you can only be regarded as a big farm after it is well governed. But if you can gather people, it will become a town.

The model of the future city has given Zhang Fan a lot of inspiration. With people, towns were formed. Only then will the funds be transferred.

These people made money in the Green Shade Group, and in the end they spent that money on the Green Shade Group. This creates a virtuous circle.

For the planning of Kubuqi Town, the planning team also gave a specific plan. The population of the whole town is about 150,000, and the town is built in the middle of the Kubuqi Desert, which is a small town with a beautiful environment.

The buildings of the townspeople are mainly villas. The land here is vast and sparsely populated, and it is natural to live in villas.

The town is also very well equipped with schools, hospitals, shopping malls, recreation centers and so on. Next to the town is the industrial park, which includes various factories and so on.

At the same time, the town also has its own airport, and after the town is built. Zhang Fan's plan is to get some electric planes developed by Longteng Group, this kind of small electric aircraft is suitable here, and the cruising range of electric aircraft can fly directly from Kubuqi to Yan Kyoto without any problems.

As for how to attract people, Zhang Fan has his own plan. It's very simple to attract people in Huaxia, as long as the benefits are better, there will be countless people who want to enter those places.

Especially the surrounding farmers and herdsmen, they will not hesitate to come to this town. Because compared with the surrounding area, the various facilities in this town are much more complete, and the welfare benefits are much better.

But this is all something to be considered in the future, and the first part is to plant trees. Trees must be planted in order to control the desert.

It is very difficult to build infrastructure without fixing the wind and sand.

The R&D center of Luyin Group, this R&D center is still within the R&D center of Longteng Group. It's just listed separately, and now it belongs to the Green Shade Group.

Zhang Fan came to the R&D center and was inside the seedling cultivation base. The cultivated golden poplar saplings are growing strongly.

These small saplings of golden poplar are currently just over a foot tall and are still very small. But it looks very strong.

"When will these saplings be transported?"

Zhang Fan asked with a smile.

"Chairman, the cultivation base over there can be built in a few days. Once the construction is complete, the saplings will be able to be transported. When these saplings arrive there, they can be planted after three months of growth at the cultivation base. ”

The researcher said with a smile, but he admired Zhang Fan very much in his heart. They started to develop the golden poplar after they got the information given by Zhang Fan.

They also experimented with the seeds that were developed, and it was really amazing. These golden poplar seeds only need to be soaked in water overnight before they can take root and germinate in the dry sand.

The growth rate is still very fast, especially when there is enough water, the growth rate is too frightening.

At this rate of growth, it only takes three months to grow to the thickness of the bowl mouth. At that time, the root system is also fixed, and it is completely ready for planting.

They also carefully observed the root system of the golden poplar, just a small sapling more than a foot high, the root system is very developed, and the more developed the root system, the stronger the viability.

Not only that, but the way golden poplar seeds are cultivated has also given them a lot of inspiration. In fact, the golden poplar is genetically modified Populus euphratica.

It's just that the way of genetically modified is more special. This way gave them a lot of inspiration. Other species are currently being studied at the institute.

If other plants could be genetically modified in this way, it would be a huge benefit for humans.

Genetic engineering is an indispensable industry for the future of mankind. Genetically modified crops are also an inevitable direction for future development.

Although now everyone is very opposed to genetically modified crops. But it is undeniable that genetically modified crops are very important.

Now the genetically modified method of golden poplar has given them new inspiration. The other seeds they are experimenting with now are not crops, but various trees.

Although the golden poplar is strong, it is not omnipotent. In terms of windbreak and sand fixation, Populus euphratica is more powerful.

However, in terms of salt and alkali tolerance, Populus euphratica is not very good. In China, there are also large areas of saline-alkali land.

Many of the places here are also barren to the human eye, and it would be of great significance to mankind if plants could be cultivated to improve these saline lands.

These R&D teams have fully inherited the spirit of Longteng's R&D team. One by one, they dare to think and do, and in their project, there is even a daring project.

The project is to breed a plant that can be irrigated with seawater. If this plant can be developed, it will undoubtedly be a huge bomb for some desert countries near the sea.

By that time, these plants will no longer need to be irrigated with fresh water at all. Pumping seawater directly can be used for irrigation, and at that point, the cost will obviously be much lower.

But it's just the beginning, and it's about developing these things. The difficulty is conceivable, without continuous capital investment, without a strong R&D team, without perseverance and patience, it is impossible to complete this kind of R&D.
