Soon, the plane landed inside a military base on the outskirts of Urumqi.

Some of the city's leaders, as well as officials from the base, lined up there to greet the crowd.

After a hearty lunch in the canteen of the military region, after a short rest, the group, accompanied by several generals of the military region and quite a number of officers and men, flew to the Junggar Basin in the north in a formation composed of a biplane helicopter that had been named the Hummingbird model.

"Chief, please see, this is a topographical map of Dzungaria that was just uploaded from the satellite this morning, and this one was from August last year.

We have kept a map of the landscape, and we heard that you are coming to inspect it, and we prepared it two hours ago. ”

During the flight, an officer in a neat military uniform adjusted the laptop in his hand a few times, and then sent it to the Grand Elder and the others.

After a few words, he consciously stepped aside, leaving only the leaders in front of him to check on themselves.

"In August last year, except for a few oases, the entire northwest was full of yellow sand and the Gobi Desert. ”

The Great Elder looked at the pictures on the computer, and after skillfully fiddling with them a few times, he had already taken a look at Dzungaria and Xinjiang in the middle of summer last year.

At that time, the northwest was a yellowish yellow, and there was serious desertification everywhere, or it was a desert, and I heard that it was even drier than the Middle East!"

The three elders on the side also tilted their heads at this time, looked at the pictures on the screen, and subconsciously looked back at the land outside the window that had been covered by a vast green shoot, and their faces couldn't help but show a little sigh.

Hearing this, the Great Elder nodded silently, and after a short operation, the screen in front of him suddenly appeared on the screen next to him, and the satellite pictures that had just been collected this morning appeared on the screen next to him.

It's a panorama from above.

At this time, Dzungaria, as well as the whole of Xinjiang, except for a few mountain plots that were still covered with snow, had been shrouded in a thin layer of tender green.

The sight, although I dare not say that it is full of greenery, some desert plots are still widely spread, but the vigorous green has begun to surround them.

And even within that large desert area, due to the continuous irrigation and infusion of large amounts of snow melt water.

At this time, although no dams or reservoirs were built in the desert, in some scattered low-lying areas, there were already reflections unique to desert waters.

Green ring-shaped oases began to appear there.

Although the Great Elder was watching with a satellite photo at this time, if you think about it a little, you can know that the scenery above the oasis and desert must be particularly beautiful and spectacular!

"Alas~!, we must protect these gifts of nature, otherwise, we don't know when we will encounter this kind of favorable time, place and people again.

These desert oases should also be paid attention to, and see if they can think of a way to create an artificial forest or grass beach in the surrounding area, and strive to completely lock in the water inside, and block the surrounding wind and sand. ”

Looking at the satellite pictures on the screen, the Great Elder couldn't help but say to a secretary next to him with some emotion at this time.

After finishing, the Great Elder continued to look at the pictures, and the focus of observation was naturally placed on the destination of their trip, the New Three-North Shelterbelt area on the edge of the Junggar Basin.

From time to time, I would have a few chats with several elders, dignitaries, and environmental management experts on the side.

Although Zhao Hao was also staying on this hummingbird helicopter at this time because of his special status, he did not join in the discussion of everyone.

From beginning to end, this guy has focused on the seemingly thin, but continuous greenery outside the window.

At this time, they were flying across the sky and it was the famous Junggar Basin.

In the vast basin, the green that used to be found only in a few places where rivers and water sources gather is now full of mountains and fields.

At least, from the distance the plane flies, it's green everywhere!

Occasionally, in a hilly valley area, you can also see sporadically distributed clear reservoirs~

In fact, the country's entire central and western greening project can be divided into two parts.

One is a state-sponsored reforestation project for millions of people, and the other is a grass planting program.

After all, China is a vast territory, and the areas in the central and western regions that need to be transformed and greened are too large.

Even with the participation and construction of millions of people, it is impossible to plant trees on the entire Loess Plateau, the Inner Mongolia Plateau, and the Great Northwest in a short period of time.

Even if the state has plans to do so, it will take a long time, and it will be a long process.

At present, the tree-planting and greening campaign carried out by the state is actually the most scientific and reasonable greening model discussed after the calculation and discussion of many domestic experts.

The minimum level of requirement is to make the Central Plains and even North China free from sandstorms when the northwest wind blows sand every year.

The second stage is to gradually green and fix the surrounding plots of the water source area to ensure the water and soil safety of the area.

On top of that, the drought and vegetation cover in the land were slowly improved by taking advantage of the abundant water that now exists in the area.

However, what those experts did not expect was that the previous large-scale reservoir construction projects did not only achieve the purpose of keeping a large amount of water resources in the Midwest.

The fixation of this part of the water resources has even affected the climate of the central and western regions to a certain extent!

The emergence of this situation is really important~

Now, just a month after the project, the constitution of the reforestation campaign has changed a lot.

The first and second phases have been preliminarily completed, and the rest is the continuous management and conservation management of forest land.

Now, the third project of this afforestation project has been carried out, that is, to completely fix the moving sand and desert plots within a certain area.

Millions of greeners, and now more than a million people, have been sent to the surrounding areas of the desert to carry out various planned planting activities.

In contrast, the fourth phase of the greening project is relatively easy, and it has now been carried out in parallel with the third phase of the project.

That is, with the convenience of large airplanes and other means of transportation, as well as this almost endless spring rainy season, a special grass seed was sown on a large scale on the land in the central and western regions.

After Zhao Hao's observation along the way, it seems that the fourth phase of the plan is also going very smoothly!

After being moistened by the rain, countless tender green grasses have taken root, sprouted and grown in the mountains and fields.

The continuous greenery can be clearly seen even from space~

……

Eventually, the helicopter formation landed in a larger forestry management building.

It is understood that this was originally supposed to be a prosperous town, but with the increasing severity of the sand invasion in the past few years, it was gradually abandoned.

Today, because of the injection of a large amount of water resources, it has become the forefront of the Northwest afforestation and greening project.

Although the town looks a little desolate at this time, due to the abundant rain in recent months and the sowing of a large number of grass seeds, the ground has also taken on a whole green surface.

However, judging from the nature and structure of the soil, the land around this town should have been somewhat desertified, and the soil was very fine.

If it weren't for the fact that there is a large hill next to the town, and a lot of reservoirs have been built before, I am afraid that the town at this time would not have become a green base.

After getting off the plane, the Great Elder and the others did not immediately rush up the mountain to collect wind, but came to a low hill outside the town.

As far as the eye can see, there is already a piece of tender green, and there is no end in sight!

A layer of rain clouds had appeared in the sky at some point, and the rumbling sound of spring thunder resounded in my ears.

Suddenly, drops of rain began to fall from the top of everyone's heads, watering the grass shoots on the ground.

After a while, the fine rain curtain has connected the world together, and the scene at this moment is very suitable to describe it as hazy and misty.

The Great Elder and the others did not choose to leave because of the rain, but at this time, they were somewhat enjoying the weather, wearing raincoats and slowly wandering around the town.
