Chapter 500: Test Ground
Group prompt: "Reed Richards has sent you an exclusive red envelope, please click to receive it." ”
Lu Zixin received the red envelope and obtained the "earth" sand binder formula given to him by Mr. Magic.
Lu Zixin thanked her, and after Aite became popular, he wanted to ask her about the architectural design of the medical research center.
Red Queen: "(A dazed anthropomorphic little yellow duck expression: What are you duck?)"
Mr. L: "How about the design of the medical research center I talked about last time?"
Red Queen: "(Expression: I don't know duck.) )”
Mr. L: "Yes? I'm asking for Hongxiao. Then I'll tell her you don't know. ”
When the red queen heard this, she quickly changed her tone and said: "(Expression: omniscient duck!) Of course I know, it has been modified." ”
The medical research center she designed is somewhat similar to the hive base, with both above-ground and underground.
The underground part is not as exaggerated as the hive's deep underground, but it also has dozens of floors of buildings, which will house research centers for various diseases.
The above-ground part is the first modern building in the city of the future, Hongxin International Hospital.
In addition, the Red Queen also provided architectural drawings of the "Gene Research Institute" and the "Gene Bank".
Biomedicine is inevitably indispensable for genetic research. Many diseases, traced back to the source, are due to genetic changes. Hongxin's genetic research will be started after the completion of the medical research center.
......
In the materials laboratory of a certain place in Hongxin, the researchers who got the formula quickly formulated the "earth" sand binder.
The adhesive is colorless and odorless, and has no harm to the human body and other living organisms, and its function is to make the small particles of sand more tightly bound together, with the stickiness of earth.
In the laboratory, Lu Zixin picked up a handful of yellow sand, opened his palm, and the yellow sand slipped from his fingers and scattered all over the ground.
After pouring water, the yellow sand barely gathered into a ball under the action of water, but under the sunshine conditions, within two minutes, the water evaporated, and the yellow sand was still yellow sand, without any change.
"The natural conditions in the desert are even harsher, and it doesn't take two minutes, or even ten seconds, for the water to evaporate completely," the researcher next to him said. Yellow sand can't retain water, let alone planting trees to control sand. ”
"This was followed by a comparative test with the addition of sand binders. ”
The same yellow sand is mixed with a certain proportion of sand binder, and mixed with water. This time, the yellow sand turned into a mud-like existence, and it was still stuck together when it was caught.
Under sunlight conditions, the yellow sand mixed with the sand binder is also evaporating water, but at a much slower rate than before.
Half an hour passed, and the surface moisture was evaporated, but the yellow sand was still condensed together, which was dried loess.
"After our comparative analysis, the yellow sand mixed with the binder has similar properties to the yellow mud. It can store water, nutrients, and resist wind and sand erosion. And we have also made improvements to this, adding the nutrients required for plant growth directly into the sand binder, so that the transformed yellow sand can directly become the adapted soil for plant growth!"
"Good. How's the production efficiency?" Lu Zixin praised their improvement, adding the nutrients needed by the plants, the yellow sand can not only solidify and preserve water, but also promote the growth of vegetation, so that the desert can become fertile soil more quickly.
Pengyun Machinery is already producing the corresponding production equipment, and it can be mass-produced by slightly modifying the production line of the factory. The person in charge replied.
"All procedures were completed immediately and production was carried out as planned. Lu Zixin approved the project.
A month later, in the Taklamakan Desert, within the area applied by Hongxin Group, large trucks drove here, and on the trucks were barrels of "earth" sand binder transported from the factory.
Correspondingly, there are also mixing engineering trucks, pipelines pulled from water sources dozens of kilometers away, etc.
"This is where we are tested. "On a business bus, Lu Zixin and a group of government officials came here.
Today, Hongxin Group will carry out sand transformation tests on this test site with an area of 100 acres. Similarly, it is also used in this way to prove the scientific and technological strength of Hongxin Group, so as to obtain the rights and interests of 10 million acres of desert transformation.
"There is yellow sand everywhere, and I came here twenty years ago to investigate, and there were still trees and poplars and a small river. Now, there's nothing left. A leader of the State Environmental Protection Agency sighed.
"Desert erosion is too severe, mainly because of the lack of water. In the past, there was infiltration water from rivers in the Kunlun mountain system, but in recent years, the overuse of groundwater resources has led to a lack of water resources and dead vegetation in these areas, which has exacerbated desertification. The accompanying geologist explained.
"In the early years, our province invested a lot of money in desert control, but the effect was not ideal, and we could only build shelterbelts farther away, which required a large amount of money to maintain every year. The provincial leader said.
"If Hongxin Group can solve this problem and transform this desert, the province will definitely support you!"
"Haha, then the leaders will wait and see. This 100 acres of land, we only need three days to make it regain its brilliance 20 years ago!" Lu Zixin said with a smile.
"Three days, Mr. Lu, what you're saying is too exaggerated!" said the head of the Environmental Protection Bureau, "three years is about the same." ”
"Naturally, it used to take three years, but now with our sand binder, three days is enough. Lu Zixin pointed to the accompanying convoy and said, "This time, the sand and soil binders, saplings, water, machinery and equipment required for the transformation alone are worth nearly one billion!"
These costs are mainly due to the cost of machinery and equipment, which can be used repeatedly anyway, and Lu Zixin is not distressed.
"Then let's see how one billion dollars of investment can transform this 100-acre desert in three days!" said the provincial leader.
"Let's start!" Lu Zixin gave an order to the communication equipment, and the convoy behind him roared, tried the sand dunes one after another, and began to start construction.
At the front, it is a large-scale sand transformation vehicle designed and produced by Pengyun Machinery. It resembles an excavator in front of it, pouring yellow sand into the mixing device of the car body one by one.
In the mixing device, a sandy binder will be added in a quantitative amount, and the mixed soil will be spread on the ground, and the construction personnel behind will water it, and the ground will be like a layer of mud.
Many of the construction starts this time with fully automated mechanical control. Different from the traditional desert protection, this transformation is like the advancement of a mechanical army, everywhere it goes, the yellow sand turns into yellow mud, and the arrogant wind and sand in the desert retreats step by step under the advancement of the transformation vehicle.
