Chapter 549: A Heavy Rain
After Zheng Xudong arrived in Qingdao, he immediately checked into the Hanbi Lou Hotel, and then flew directly on the plane to the BROKEN O Farm in Montana, USA.
On the plane, Zheng Xudong asked Xiao Ai in his mind, "Xiao Ai, if I were to have a heavy rain with a thickness of ten centimeters on BROKEN O Farm, how much water would I need?"
"Fifty million cubic meters!" Xiao Ai immediately replied in his mind.
"500 square kilometers of BROKEN O Farm needs 50 million cubic meters of water, so the national security zone in Nevada needs 3,000 cubic meters to bring 300 square kilometers of heavy rain. Zheng Xudong said to himself.
"Isn't that area of Nevada 3,500 square kilometers, and why is it only raining 300 square kilometers?" Xiao Ai asked in his mind.
"Alas, I have 6,500 tons of grass seeds, including 6,000 tons for Nevada and 500 tons for Abu Dhabi, which was planned before, and now 6,000 tons of grass seeds can be planted 20 tons per square kilometer, isn't it only enough to plant 300 square kilometers of land! So some of them are busy tonight!" Zheng Xudong sighed with emotion.
"Master, did you just say that you were going to sow grass seeds on Nevada's land tonight?" Xiao Ai asked suddenly.
"Yes, since I went to the United States once, I can directly plant the grass, so as not to have to run again specifically for sowing seeds in the future, Xiao Ai, is there any problem?"
"Of course, your grass seeds haven't been bagged and unsealed yet! you can't throw the whole bag of grass seeds on the ground when you sow seeds!"
"I'm the next Olympics!" Zheng Xudong said in a foul mouth, "I've been thinking about how to get enough water and grass seeds, and I forgot to pack them." I have to take a look!" Thinking of this, Zheng Xudong immersed his mind in the space, and when he came to the place where the grass seeds were stacked, he directly said again, "I am the second Ao!" Six thousand tons of grass seeds are neatly stacked in the space, according to the standard of ten bags long, ten bags wide, and ten bags high, each pile is exactly a thousand bags, and each bag of grass seeds is exactly fifty kilograms. 6,500 tons of grass seeds are stacked in exactly one hundred and thirty piles. That is to say, if 6,000 tons are to be sown tonight, 120 piles of grass seeds will be packed, a total of 120,000 bags of grass seeds. As soon as he thought of the number 120,000, Zheng Xudong said again: "I'm the next Olympics!"
"Xiao Ai, I have to unpack these grass seeds myself, right?" Zheng Xudong hoped that the technology of the Gamma Galaxy could help him unpack the packaging of these grass seeds, but Xiao Ai still told him truthfully, "Yes, you have to open these bags yourself." ”
Since you can't count on Xiaoai, you can only do it yourself, as the saying goes, "the eye is a lazy man, the hand is a good man!" All the work is done by the hands, and the eyes can't see it all.
Since it is unpacking, there is no need to work too finely, you can be rougher, Zheng Xudong found a German mountain knife in the arsenal of the space, just the length, width, and height of the grass seed stacked ten bags each, Zheng Xudong used the mountain knife to put the ten bags stacked vertically, and the grass seed was immediately sprinkled out, and then continued to be stacked vertically on the second column of grass seeds, the third column, the fourth column...
Fifty kilograms of grass seeds was too easy for him, and every time he cut a column, he grabbed the bottom of the bag with one hand and lifted it up, and the whole bag of grass seeds was scattered on the ground. And then the second bag, the third bag... The work is not difficult, but it is too repetitive.
When the five thousand bags of grass seeds were emptied, with Zheng Xudong's physical strength, he also saw sweat on his head. "No, you've got to let me rest for a while! As he spoke, he came out of the space and sat in the cockpit of the plane, took out five enhanced burgers again, and took out a gallon of yogurt, and drank yogurt while eating the hamburger to replenish his strength.
"Xiao Ai, how long will it take to get to BROKEN O Farm?" asked Zheng Xudong as he ate something in his mouth.
"Half an hour to arrive. ”
"So how long will it take me to give the farm a 10-centimeter rain?"
"Theoretically, the maximum amount of water discharged from the space per hour is 20 million cubic meters. ”
"THAT MEANS IT TAKES TWO AND A HALF HOURS TO BRING A HEAVY RAIN TO BROKEN O FARM, DOESN'T IT?"
"Yes. ”
"Okay, so I still have three hours to unpack the seeds. Damn, don't say anything and keep working!" After speaking, Zheng Xudong stuffed the last hamburger into his mouth in two bites, then drank the yogurt in the bottle, and went into the space to work again.
When Zheng Xudong unpacked another 5,000 bales of grass seeds, Xiao Ai told him that he had reached the sky above the BROKEN O farm and was ready for rain.
"Xiao Ai, what do you need me to do? This is my first rainfall, I don't know how to operate, you come and teach me!" Zheng Xudong asked Xiao Ai very modestly.
"Master, you don't need to do any extra work, it's the same as when you usually take out things in the space, except this time you take out the water stored in the space, you just think about using your maximum ability to carry this water outside the space, and I will do the rest. I would spread this water evenly on the land of the farm. Xiao Ai said to him.
"Okay!" Zheng Xudong first put down the work of dismantling the grass seed bag in his hand, and then sat quietly in the space, meditating in his mind to carry the water in the space to the outside of the space with his best ability.
At this time, the sky over the BROKEN O farm is as dark as ink, the night sky is dotted with countless stars, a bright moon hangs quietly in the night sky, and the cowboys who are usually busy with work on the farm have already fallen asleep, and from time to time the sound of cowboys snoring can be heard from the cottage of the farm.
Because of the hot and sweltering weather and the lack of rain, the cows in the cowshed were listless, bowing their heads, and kept drinking the pitiful water in the trough in front of them.
The grass of alfalfa growing on the vast farm land has turned yellow, and it is lying on the ground one by one, almost the same color as the earth, and it is impossible to tell from a distance that this is the largest farm in the United States, the color of a scorched earth.
There was no wind on the whole farm, and the more than ten watchdog dogs lying in the kennel were so hot that they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so they could only keep sticking out their wide tongues "Hachi, Hachi" to cool themselves down. Usually they will fight with each other before going to bed, but these days even they are not in the mood to play anymore.
Suddenly a drop of rain fell on the farm's yellowed alfalfa, and soon another drop, and then the droplet crackled on the yellowed blade of grass, as it was written in the book, like beads with broken threads.
The rain rained without warning, before it rained there was neither wind, nor thunder, nor lightning, and it rained so plainly that even the cowboys on the farm did not wake up, the only thing that changed was that the air was no longer hot and dry, but cool and moist, so that those who were hot in their sleep could finally get a good night's sleep.
The rain has been falling, this is a song by Taiwanese singer Zhang Yu, and it is the right time to use it here at this time. This heavy rain has caused the Sun River water, which has been cut off for more than ten days, to flow again, although the water flow is not large, but it has been non-stop. "The flow flows through every inch of the farm.
Charlie Carson, the general manager of BROKEN O Farm, who had been worried about drought for the past three or four days, had just been lying in bed and falling asleep, when suddenly he felt the sound of water outside, or the sound of rain hitting the ground to be precise. But the sound of the rain was so real, every raindrop seemed to hit his heart, "No, the air has become moist, and there is a cool breeze, this is not a dream." ”
Charlie sat up from the bed suddenly, didn't bother to put on his slippers, ran to the window in a few steps, opened the curtain and looked out, and the rain curtain was stacked in front of his eyes. The raindrops the size of soybeans continued to hit the ground and smashed into a small mud puddle, and after a while, these small mud puddles were connected into a large area, forming a small puddle.
Manager Charlie couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing, he couldn't believe the sound of the raindrops hitting the ground that reached his ears, he reached out the window, and when the raindrops hit his palm, he finally believed "It's raining!"
"Boom... He ran out from the second floor of the villa barefoot, and stood in the rain with his upper body up, two lines of hot tears welled up in his eyes, mixed with the thick rain and flowed down, he raised his head and looked at the starry night sky, although he didn't understand why it was raining, but still "Ah... He roared loudly, as if he had roared out the sultry heat that had been suppressed at the end of his body for so many days.
When the dogs who watched the house saw their owners coming out, they all ran out excitedly and surrounded Charlie, barking and playing with each other.
With Charlie's roar and the sound of seven or eight dogs fighting, cowboys kept coming out of the villa and dancing around Manager Charlie...
Zheng Xudong, who was spraying rainwater downward at an altitude of 3,000 meters, didn't know that after he was used to carrying water outward from the maximum capacity of the space, he returned to his workplace and poured grass seeds outside.
The more he dried, the more skilled he became, and as the sharp German knife slashed through the bags containing the grass seeds, he went from pouring the grass seeds outward with one hand, and now poured outward with two hands. The efficiency of the work has more than doubled.
He didn't need to worry about the rain outside the plane, he just needed to get the grass seeds ready, otherwise there would be no seeds to spray in the air when he got to the Nevada National Security Zone.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Ai suddenly said in his mind: "Master, the rainfall work of BROKEN O Farm has been completed, according to your requirements, 50 million cubic meters of water have been sprayed for the entire area, with an average of 10 centimeters of rain per inch of land, reaching the level of a heavy rain, which can alleviate the drought for at least ten to fifteen days." Do you want to go to Nevada now?"
"What time is it?" asked Zheng Xudong.
"Two o'clock in the morning, half an hour earlier than expected. ”
"How much water is left in the space?"
"170 million cubic meters. ”
"Another 10 million cubic meters, then to Allah's Ranch, 40,000 cubic meters there, and finally to Nevada, anyway, I haven't finished unpacking these seed bags yet. Keep it raining!"
"Yes, master!"
