"Brian, look here, this is a qanats. Zeng Gong pointed to a hole and said.

You can faintly hear the sound of the spring water at the entrance of the cave, and if you stretch your face to the entrance of the cave, you can feel the crispness from the ground, which soaks the whole body and mind.

"Qanats?" Brian felt faintly hear the name.

Qanats are a magical irrigation method produced in the Gobi desert in Xinjiang, China, comparable to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Great Wall.

Even under the Qinglian Ranch, there are hundreds of large lakes, with the ingenious connection of qanats, and the lakes, rivers and underground lakes have become natural water storage reservoirs, which seem to have no use other than to soak the surrounding land and cultivate aquatic products.

"That's right, that's the name, it's the core channel of our Qinglian Ranch for irrigation, most of them are irrigating the entire Qinglian Ranch through the network of underground rivers extending in all directions, and the remaining water can also replenish the amount of water on the ground, so you should have no doubt. Zeng Gong pointed to the entrance of the cave and explained further.

"Can an underground river be solved? "Brian had never heard of such an amazing irrigation system.

"Aren't the facts right in front of you? Zeng Gong spread his hands and said undeniably that being able to build qanats so quickly was entirely due to the underground rivers and underground karst caves all over Qinglian Ranch, and they simply carried out the design on the ground.

"Zeng, do you think this qanats can be promoted in Montana?" Brian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but suggest.

By building qanats and allowing water to flow underground, evaporation is greatly reduced, and Montana's drought can be alleviated.

"Brian, do you know what this qanats are designed for, it is to collect alpine snowmelt for irrigation, it makes full use of the terrain height differences, you must know that you have no control over the flow of underground water flow, and the construction of the project is no less than the excavation of underground tunnels, not everywhere there are natural underground rivers. Zeng Gong knew that he was whimsical when he heard this, and naturally he didn't mind being poured cold water.

"This..."

Brian's old face flushed, and he laughed dryly, and he realized that he was a little inconsiderate.

Alas, damn drought.

······

Zeng Gong accompanied Brian down and returned to the living room.

"Well, Brian, we don't have an irrigation facility. Zeng Gong said with a smile.

"Alas, Zeng, what do you think I should do now?" Brian couldn't help but shake his head, Zeng Gong's openness and honesty made him feel a lot of pressure.

"I don't have any good solutions, artificial rainfall, collecting snowmelt and rainwater from the mountains, changing the farming pattern, you should have thought of it, there is no way, you can only wait for the rain. ”

Boom...

Crossing the snow-capped peak, the black clouds overwhelmed the city, the northwest wind was startled, the white rain jumped beads, and the bright sunshine suddenly lost its due heat, and the sky was dim.

"It's raining?" Zeng Gong's words didn't fall, and a thunderstorm came as promised, which scared Brian.

He had a good memory, and even if he didn't remember the secretary, he could swear to God, and he learned from the Meteorological Service that the vast majority of Montana was in the sky and clouds in most places, except for a few parts of the country, and there was no trace of clouds.

"yes, it's raining, what's wrong, Brian?" Zeng Gong shrugged his shoulders as a matter of course, but looked at Brian a little strangely.

"I remember it didn't rain today. "The black clouds are overwhelming, indicating that a storm is about to invade the entire Qinglian Ranch, Brian said with little confidence.

"Haha..." Zeng Gong couldn't help laughing.

Surrounded by mountains, the Ranch is surrounded by tall and majestic snow-capped mountains that block the cold air currents from the north and Yellowstone, and although there are intermittent mountains such as the Absaroka Ridge, which are higher than the Great Plains, it is a basin of its own, and the climate and environment are even more self-contained.

Even though it's a mountain away from Joe's ranch, it's a world of difference.

The geothermal resources here are extremely abundant, so that temperate and tropical rainforests extend here, and there is even a small hell gate in the small desert with a radius of thousands of acres inside the Qinglian Ranch, and a magma lake that swells with magma all year round. Although it is much smaller than Yellowstone, the number of hot springs and geysers is still high, and small volcanoes between the mountains often erupt on a small scale.

"Brian, don't tell me you don't know, my Blue Lotus Ranch is very different from other places. Zeng Gong looked at Brian with a playful expression.

He never believed that Brian would not know about Qinglian Ranch.

"Hehe, this rain came a little suddenly, and my thoughts didn't change all of a sudden. Brian couldn't help but smile awryly.

He finally saw the microclimate environment of Qinglian Ranch, no wonder all kinds of experts and scholars in the world hope to come to Qinglian Ranch to do research work.

Even he felt that Qinglian Ranch seemed to have a self-contained cycle of the water world, and it was completely isolated from the outside world.

Hide in a small building and become a unity, taking care of him in winter, summer and spring and autumn.

Of course, this is all an illusion, the system of Qinglian Ranch just makes full use of the water resources of the entire ranch, or normal communication with the outside world, mutual influence, such as the nearby pastures have more rainfall than the pastures in other areas, and now Qiao and others do not have the troubles caused by drought, and they even sell a batch of pasture.

"Then slowly change, I know you also bought a ranch in Paradise Valley. Zeng Gong said with a smile.

"I have nothing to do in retirement, so naturally I am looking for something to do. Brian wasn't embarrassed either.

Anyway, many rich people have already done this, and he is just following the trend, not to mention that Paradise Valley is a natural leisure venue, where many rich people's industries are gathered, and there are not many of his families.

"Wouldn't it be better to get a few more cows from my pasture?" Zeng Gong teased with a smile.

"Zeng, if you can sponsor it in friendship, I can reluctantly accept it. Brian said, with a look of embarrassment.

Raising a few cows is just for the sake of appetite, his ranch has long been planned, mainly growing vegetables and wheat, and of course, the main thing is to vacation, he has properties in Helena, Los Angeles, Miami, and he goes to different places every year for vacation.

"Do you dare to ask for it?" Zeng Gong asked lightly.
