162 Desert Agriculture

Day 16.

It grows luxuriantly. More than 30 centimeters high. A peculiar thing was observed. The soil around the grass is solidified. The soil is somewhat moist, which is very different from the loose, arid soil that surrounds it.

Everyone found Zhou Yun's consent again. The barbed wire fence was cut and a man was sent in. Take a hoe and dig along the roots of a sagebrush. The root system of the grass is very developed, the soil is solid, in addition, the soil is somewhat moist, with a humidity measuring instrument, measured, the humidity coefficient reached the semi-arid level.

According to the "Agroclimatic Zone Classification Method", China's wetness coefficient can be divided into 7 levels, which are arid, semi-arid, dry and semi-humid, humid, humid, and overhumid. In contrast, outside the barbed wire, the wetness coefficient of the soil is completely arid and waterless.

“”

It has a surplus of water to moisten the land, and it grows luxuriantly, providing shade and shade the soil. Prevents evaporation from the ground.

It's a desert artifact.

Of course, the Cangwu Xingren genetically improved the Herb, and all the functions of the Herb are to control the desert. The root system of the grass is well developed, it can fix the soil, it has deep roots, and it can find water in the ground and draw water.

If there is a surplus of water, it will seep out and moisten the land.

The leaves have a reticulated fibrous layer that prevents the water inside the leaves from evaporating. The leaves of the grass are broad and shade-shading. Prevents evaporation from the ground. In addition, the seeds of the grass are ground into flour, which is flour.

Ouyang Keke's live broadcast room.

"It is naturally adapted to grow in the desert. ”

"In drought and waterless conditions, it can still grow and grow luxuriantly, and there is still excess water seeping out to moisten the land. ”

"I understand, what Zhou Yun is doing this experiment. ”

Saudi. Riyadh.

A room. The floor is covered with wool carpets. Four men dressed in white Arabic robes and white turbans, or jacquard turbans, sit on stools. Discussing national affairs.

This time.

A close servant approached gently. He said to one of them, "Prince Rahe has something important to ask to see. ”

"Let him in. Said the man in the jacquard turban.

The servant walked out of the room. After a while. A middle-aged man walked in.

The jacquard turban man asked Prince Rahe, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"There's an important thing. It is about the end of the kingdom. I think this thing is second only to oil. AFTER SAYING THAT, PRINCE RAHE WAS STILL HOLDING AN IPAD. The person who handed the jacquard headscarf, the person with the jacquard headscarf took the iPad, looked at it, and on the screen, it was Ouyang Keke's live broadcast room, and the person with the jacquard headscarf said, "This is a live broadcast." The other three came over to take a look.

"Yes. "The live broadcast took place in China, on the shore of Lake Lop Nur. Zhou Yun is doing an experiment. Look at the barbed wire fence of the plants. ”

The jacquard turban man said, "See, grow luxuriantly." Thriving. ”

"This plant is called the Herb. The grass I am talking about is second only to oil in the kingdom. ”

A few people listened very carefully.

Prince Rahe continued, "Zhou Yun has been doing this experiment for 16 days. Before the experiment, he asked people to dig six pits more than 2 meters deep in this arid land, and then asked the test witnesses to check the pits, there was no water in the pits, and the soil was dry.

Then, he sprinkled the soaked seeds of the surging grass on the land, and then, with a barbed wire fence more than 2 meters high, 6 people in three shifts, 2 people in a shift of 8 hours, 24 hours a day, and installed 8 cameras on the barbed wire fence, 24 hours a day to monitor.

Foolproof that no one is watering.

On the 16th day of the experiment, now, is what you see, the lush and thriving Lycopodium. In addition, the surplus water seeps out and moistens the land. The difference between this land and the land outside the barbed wire fence is that the soil moisture coefficient is semi-arid. ”

The jacquard turban's eyes burst into a huge surprise, "There really is this amazing plant." ”

If that's the case. Indeed, the importance of the grass to the kingdom is second only to oil. You know, Saudi Arabia covers an area of 2.25 million square kilometers. The population is only 32.28 million.

Compared with India, India has a land area of 2.98 million square kilometers and a population of more than 1.3 billion, and can support more than 1.3 billion people with a land area of 2.98 million square kilometers.

Saudi Arabia's 2.25 million square kilometers cannot support 32.28 million people. Saudi Arabia is the world's largest importer of barley, with an average annual import of about 6 million tons, and Saudi Arabia's grain self-sufficiency rate is very low, only more than 20%, relying on large imports to meet demand. Because the land of Saudi Arabia is a desert.

Saudi Arabia has a lot of oil. Yes. However, can oil be eaten. From ancient times to the present, agriculture is the foundation of any country. The Saudi royal family, which is prepared for danger in times of peace, has long been aware of the urgency of this issue. He was determined to use the abundant financial revenues brought by oil to establish an agricultural system.

This is really a bloody investment, desalination, the world's largest desalination company is the Saudi desalination company. How expensive. Saudi Arabia spends oil revenues on desalination every year.

Groundwater is extracted, and the drop in the water table causes seawater intrusion and land subsidence.

Saudi Arabia is very expensive to do in desert agriculture. Saudi Arabia currently has desert agriculture, the world's largest barley importer, and a grain self-sufficiency rate of more than 20%.

Saudi Arabia has the money, the determination to develop agriculture, and the perseverance. If you get the seeds of the sagebrush. Saudi Arabia is eager to plant the whole country with sagebrush.

Knowing the herb, the same huge surprise as Saudi Arabia is Israel, Dubai. Israel has a strong sense of crisis. This land of Israel,

For more than 100 years, Mark Twain came to this land on the edge of the Mediterranean, leaving behind the comment that it was "desolate, barren and hopeless". From the point of view of natural conditions, Israel is extremely unsuitable for the development of agriculture,

Israel has little arable land, deserts occupy two-thirds of the country's land area, and Israel has even less water, with less than 400 cubic meters of water per capita, compared to 8,800 cubic meters per capita in the world.

Not to mention Dubai, where they are willing to plant a tree for $5,000 a year. This may be a joke though. However, it also shows that the people of Dubai in the trenches are willing to pay a huge price in order to get green.

"Yes. Prince Rahe said.

"You gave me the video of the live experiment, from beginning to end. The jacquard turban man said.

"Good. Prince Rahe said.

The next day.

The man with the jacquard turban called Prince Rahe and said to him, "The kingdom needs the grass. You go talk to Zhou Yun and sell us some Grass Seeds. ”

Codeword that has always been quiet. Didn't speak.

February is over. Welcoming March. There are a few days back to Shen \\1, and the state has not been adjusted, and the others are relatively stable and smooth.

That's what I want. The update is stable, the rhythm is stable, and the plot is stable.

After eating every evening, I walked the greenway alone and pondered the plot.

Didn't have time to go to the cinema to watch a movie. There is a Youku member. At noon, I swiped it on Youku, and the ghost blew the lamp Yunnan Worm Valley, except for a few complaints, this movie is okay. How is Douban only 3.4. The Internet was sprayed. Isn't it being brought to the rhythm?

March. Ask for support. Book lovers vote for a monthly pass. Vote for your recommendation.
