When Link heard the results of the experiment in California, he quickly asked, "What about the other crops?"

"I haven't found it yet, but now there are a batch of experimental groups over there that are mature, and there may be results soon. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "Shall we go and see?"

"I don't think it's necessary for the time being. We can wait for the results to be sure that it is a stable state before we go!"

Link was right when he thought about it. He nodded and said, "Then I'll go to Oregon in two days." The alpacas on the Peruvian side are not close to sending the first alpacas back according to plan. ”

"By the way, Martha, you haven't been to see their training in Nevada?"

"I was in a hurry to come back, I didn't go to see it!"

Jessica bent her eyes and pecked at the corner of his mouth several times, only to be gagged by pressing the back of her head until she felt the burning heat in her lungs before regaining her freedom.

Link ran his fingers over her slightly swollen lips, and waited for her breathing to be a little easier before chuckling and saying, "It's spring, the best time to plant pasture." I'm going to go over there and see how it goes. ”

"I guess it looks good. It's not going to rain twice in Oregon this spring, and the millions of dollars of grass you planted there should be growing. ”

"I'm worried that there will be very little precipitation next. It is said that this year will still be dry. There are plans for artificial rain over there, but I don't know how it will work. ”

"I don't think you need to worry that much, there's still some groundwater in that piece of land in Oregon. When it comes to Oregon land, she remembers something that Huaxin inadvertently talked about before. "By the way, I heard from the engineers who came to test the wind resources of Ozette that Oregon that land is rich in wind resources. Do you have any plans to install a wind farm there?"

Now Link's problem is not that he doesn't have money, but how he spends it. Although the yield of wind power is not high, investment and speculation are two different things. While speculation can be highly rewarding, it is also extremely risky. And an investment like a wind farm, although the yield is not high, is very safe.

"I didn't have that intention. At least not yet. He paused and said. "The noise from the wind turbines is quite loud, and there is a concern that it will affect the breeding of alpacas. ”

Link had known that there was an abundance of wind power there, but he had never planned to build a wind farm there.

Because Oregon doesn't have a shortage of electricity. He couldn't make sure that the wind power there would be connected to the grid and sold after it was sold. If you can't sell it, you will lose money no matter how much power you generate.

If he did want to install wind turbines, he would consider building a few at most to provide electricity to that land.

And he plans to build it into a development center for alpacas, and the slightest irritation of pregnant alpacas can cause miscarriages, and the noise of the wind turbine's blades when they rotate may have a great impact on them.

Hearing Link say that, Jessica stopped trying to persuade him, and just said, "That's really a problem." By the way, Huaxin's engineers have completed the measurement of wind resources on the Ozette coast. They will send in the results of the analysis by next Friday. ”

"I see. Last year, he asked people to apply for the installation of wind turbines along the coast of the Ozette farm, but it was not until this year that the permit was obtained that Huaxin contacted the company.

He kissed her on the mouth again and said apologetically, "I'll be busy during this time! ”

"I understand!" Jessica leaned into his arms. "You can rest assured, Hannah and I'll take care of it. I'll also keep an eye on the progress of the experiments on Benihans' side. ”

She knew that Ozette Investment Bank was an entry point for Link to enter the capital markets. Link was busy working on his plans, and she couldn't hold him back.

Link's recent actions are not only crucial to whether Ozette Investment Bank can actually operate. At the same time, it has a lot to do with many of his other future plans.

If he doesn't get off to a good start this time, the actual financial damage won't be too big, but the blow to his reputation will be very serious.

She added: "If there is a practical breakthrough in the laboratory, I will also contact you in time." You can rest assured that you can go about your business. ”

Link didn't stay home for two days either. After visiting Fox to see the new pasta factory, he flew around the Oregon land. Seeing that there was still a large black ground below, I could already see that there was already a yellow-green color on top of the black. It should be a newly grown plant. I just don't know if the saplings are pasture, or some shrubs that have grown up after being burned by the fire.

He also saw planes flying low above the hill in the sky, seemingly planting seeds.

When his plane landed at a nearby airport, someone came to pick him up in a pitched helicopter.

"Hello, Mr. Hans. I'm Clive. Clive is the person in charge of the transformation of his land.

Link smiled and shook his hand and said, "Hello, Clive." Thank you for picking me up!"

"That's as it should be. Let's go now?"

Link came here today to see the transformation of this land on the spot, so he wanted to see it on the spot.

Because there was no airport on that land, his plane landed at Bolugins Airport in Oregon, and the helicopter would have to fly for a while before it could reach the team's camp.

The renovation team's camp is located in a small plain of the Chetco River. The place is surrounded by mountains and is only eighteen miles from Bolugins. However, it is already within the scope of Link's land.

The Chesco River is bounded two miles downstream, and on the west bank there is land belonging to Link, which is about three to eight miles wide. On the west bank of the river, the border is divided along the ridge and is mostly a former fire site, although there are also some remnants of forest. The east coast is the main body of this land. Almost all of them were burned by fire.

Link could see from the helicopter that the ground near him had been completely emptied, leaving nothing but black. However, saplings may be seen growing in the black. When the helicopter arrived over the camp, he saw an airstrip with two old-looking biplanes parked on it.

In addition to this, there is a large number of logging machinery.

Clive led him to the improvised board house and showed him some pictures on the computer: "According to your request, Mr. Hans, we will first sow grass seeds in this area where there is no forest. That's the range. Now, we are working on a second catch-up. ”

Link looked at it for a moment and said, "The need for replanting is the second time it hasn't been sown evenly." There are still places where there is a leak of sowing. ”

"Both. Clive explained. "Although the seeds are planted at a low altitude, the wind here is relatively strong, and the grass seeds may be blown to the ground and concentrated in one place. This makes our work more difficult. ”

Link nodded and said, "How long will it take to complete the replanting?"

"This area is nearing completion. In addition, the first sowing in the original forest area was partially completed. You look at these pictures. The burned forests have been cut down. Grass seed sowing has been completed in these places. Clive clicked on some aerial images. "At your request, we need to cut down all the trees that have been burned. The timber that can still be used is stacked in a centralized manner. ”

As he spoke, he opened up some more pictures of neatly stacked wood. In a recent photo, he could see that the wood was pitch black even though the surface was black. But it was evident that the bark had only been burned off by the fire, and the wood inside had not been damaged too much.

"How much wood do you have?"

"It's still a big proportion. However, there are fewer pine trees with more oil. There are more other woods. We found that about 65% of the wood that can be used is wood. We didn't discard the rest either. Small trees, we also stored. Some of them can't be used for materials, and we have them stacked in other places. Clive said with a smile. "If the unused wood is used as firewood, it can last at least 10,000 families for several years. ”

"How many burned forests are there that haven't been cut down?"

"That's about 45 percent. Those are areas with rough terrain and are more difficult to work with. Progress will be slower than elsewhere. There are places where we may not be able to cut down. But those places can be planned to sow forests. ”

"How's the forest planting progressing now?"

"25% of them are done. However, because it is sown by plane, it may be necessary to determine whether it needs to be replanted after it has grown. You know, sowing tree seeds, you need to fly higher and less accurate than sowing grass seeds. ”

After taking a look at the general situation, Link said to Clive, "I'd like to go and see what the newly sown pastures are doing. ”

"OK, we can go by helicopter. ”

They got back on the helicopter and flew east.

The helicopter flew to the planned pasture area. Clive lowered the plane to a distance of more than ten meters and flew slowly. The ground was hung by the wind of the propeller and raised countless black dust.

Clive exclaimed, "Because there is a lot of plant ash on the ground, we have done a lot of artificial rainfall, and now the plant ash can be mixed with the soil. However, last year and this year were drier. It can also hang some black dust on a windy day. ”

Link's brows furrowed when he saw this. That's not a good sign. Alpaca hair is very precious, and if it is contaminated with a foreign object, it can easily change color or stick.

Clive said loudly into the headphones, "You see, the black earth down there, seven or eight inches of green grass has grown. However, it is still relatively sparse for the time being. But maybe in just a year, it will turn into a lush meadow. ”

But Link can't wait a year longer. The first alpacas are coming soon. He thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a grass sowing that is more dense?" I mean is there an area that has grown enough to cover the ground?"

"There are a few areas with a gentler slope where the grass grows better, but you know it's all airplane-seeded, and it may not be able to completely block the ground for a while. ”

As he spoke, he raised the altitude of the helicopter and flew northeast.
