Chapter 821: Giving Grain and Planting Grass

Jiang Chen, accompanied by Guo Chengye, first went to the cafeteria to have some food. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info sauerkraut gnocchi with deep-fried crispy steamed buns. Jiang Chen had a great appetite, and he drank several bowls in a row, but he couldn't hold it anymore. This is specially prepared by Guo Chengye for Jiang Chen or for the person who was drunk last night, because this sour and easy-to-swallow sauerkraut gnocchi can alleviate the sequelae caused by drunkenness. Of course, it's an exaggeration to say that it was deliberately prepared, and this is what this kind of factory usually eats. It's not that Jiang Chen is stingy, but this kind of customs and eating habits. It must be a bowl of thin in the morning, either gnocchi or coarse grain porridge. Of course, sometimes it is a bowl of clear soup ramen, but this is a lot of work, so I don't often make it. And when the chef here greeted Jiang Chen, he said that he would make it tomorrow, and he would definitely let Jiang Chen taste the most authentic Northwest ramen.

After the meal, Jiang Chen, who was rejuvenated, pulled Guo Chengye and other cadres here and decided to go to this base for a good look. He'd never been here before, and all he knew was from the drawings. Although the drawings are detailed enough, they are still not as intuitive as they actually look. And Jiang Chen was already dark when they came yesterday, so they couldn't see anything. When Jiang Chen walked out of the living area to a clearing and saw the lively scene of the construction site in the distance, he realized how big the base they saw on the drawings at that time was. Although this is only the first phase of the project, and it is only 20,000 acres, when you step into it, you will know how big it is, and it is beyond your imagination.

Guo Chengye pointed to Jiang Chen, the ground they were stepping on, and said with a smile at Jiang Chen: "The location where we are is just right, so the main road connecting the extremely functional area in our planning. However, the various functional areas are still under construction, so this main road has not yet been built. After the main construction of these buildings is completed, people who have been idle from the construction team will be able to build here. The terrain here is flat, and the foundation is relatively hard, so the construction is very fast, and it will definitely be completed in less than half a month. ”

"Yes. Jiang Chen nodded, then looked at the construction site in the distance and asked, "What stage of construction is it now, and how is the progress?" ”

Guo Chengye asked the staff next to him to unfold a floor plan of the entire base and pointed at Jiang Chen: "At present, we have completed two projects. The first is this water supply project, before the Chinese New Year last year, we have completed the burial of more than 100 kilometers of cement culverts. As soon as the year passed, we carried out dredging and embankment work to clean up some of the silt, weeds, garbage and adobe houses where the herders lived. At present, the entire lake has reached thirty or forty acres, and we expect that the entire lake will reach fifty or sixty acres of water storage, which will fully meet our design requirements and water needs. Even under the nourishment of this lake, we have the ability to reclaim all the desert within a radius of hundreds of kilometers into arable land. ”

Listening to Guo Chengye's words, Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Cultivating land, what do I want to cultivate the land for? I have worked so hard and spent so much money, is it just to care about this cultivated land?"

"Isn't this incidental, if this development is successful, then the food here can be completely self-sufficient, and it can also supply our company. Besides, if we want to farm, we must adopt full automation like those state farms, and we don't need a few people. I looked at the soil quality, it has not been completely desertified, and under a thin layer of sand and gravel, the grass and trees of the grassland have withered and left rotten roots, which is still quite fertile. Guo Chengye hurriedly said. As a child from the countryside, he really has a deep affection for farming. So when he heard that the land here could be cultivated completely, he was ecstatic. So I hurriedly investigated in person, and even found experts to do research. When he learned from the experts that this place was indeed suitable for arable land and for growing drought-resistant crops such as corn and wheat, he was ecstatic. When he was a child, he suffered from hunger, but he knew the value of these hundreds of square kilometers of arable land and how many hungry families it could feed. Now Jiang Chen said that he didn't do farming, he didn't care, how could he not be anxious.

Hehe. Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder, then looked at the desert in the distance and said, "Be a man, do things, and take a long-term view." Arable land will certainly give us more food, but there is something more important than that, and that is what we are building now. This will be an important production base for our country's aviation industry in the future, and its development is far more important than this bit of food. If we cultivate this area into farmland, it will be ripe every year according to the temperature here. And what about the rest of the time, just let it be left unreined here, and then let the most authentic northwest wind lift up the fine soil in these cultivated fields, and add a blockage to the people who work and live here, and to add a blockage to the sophisticated products produced here?"

"Well, what do you say. Just let it be so wasted?" Guo Chengye was blushing when Jiang Chen said it, but he was still a little unwilling.

Jiang Chen shook his head and said, "Of course we can't be so barren, since we are here, we must conquer this barren land to change its appearance." ”

"If you don't grow food, how can you change it, what do you plant?" Guo Chengye wondered.

Jiang Chen turned his head to look at Guo Chengye and smiled: "Plant grass and trees." When the runway is completed, I will have people fly over the planes we bought from abroad in Anxi for research. Then I had people buy me some drought-tolerant grass seeds from abroad, sow them by plane, and sprinkle grass seeds on all the deserts within a radius of 100 kilometers. By the way, this is also within the scope of infrastructure, and it should also be the responsibility of your office. Back you use the trucks produced by our company, renovate a few sprinkler trucks, and you run back and forth on this wasteland. I'm going to see it green next year when spring comes. ”

"Planting grass?" Guo Chengye's brain is a little broken, this is not growing food and grass, is this his brain wrong, or Jiang Chen's brain is wrong. Can grass be eaten, and is grass expensive as grain? Guo Chengye couldn't figure it out.

Looking at Guo Chengye's depressed expression, Jiang Chen smiled and did not explain in detail. In fact, this is the result of Jiang Chen's discussion with Lu Lao and the others. The Northwest Desert has its benefits as well as its drawbacks. And for Jiang Chen, the biggest enemy of their manufacturing industry is the ubiquitous wind and sand. Although it is said that the important equipment has long been produced in various places, it only needs to be assembled when it is transported here. Even the parts produced here are produced in a fully enclosed environment, and when the entire production base Jiang Chen designed, each production workshop was fully enclosed, and all ventilation systems were used. The incoming air also needs to be filtered. But considering the production of the entire base and the lives of the workers, Jiang Chen and they must make relevant changes to the bad environment here, and planting grass and trees is undoubtedly the best choice. This is why Jiang Chen and the others put so much effort into building such a large lake, which is why Jiang Chen gave up grain and grass. (To be continued.) )
