Chapter 392: The Land (Book Friends 570-325-85)

"With this large area occupied, the eastern part of our farm is basically less than 400 meters of sand dunes near Route 11!"

Lin Quan looked at the plan, then took a moment according to the scale, dropped the pencil and said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The farm was indeed expanding fast, a little faster than he had imagined.

Who would have thought that there was nothing here at the beginning, and it has grown in just two years, and now the area has reached this level, and the farm of nearly 10,000 acres is like an inflated balloon, rapidly expanding outward.

"They should stay near the side of Highway 11, and there may be other residents who will move in the future, so we should leave some space for them!"

Denise glanced at the map, the mobile phone navigation and the map of the world are slightly deviated, but this kind of accuracy is already remarkable, after all, this is a desert desert, and no one provides correction and reference at all, so how accurate can you expect it to be!

The original foundation of the farm was a waterhole, the existence of the waterhole, so that Lin Quan could have a certain water source to use when he first settled here, but now, that waterhole has disappeared, on the basis of the waterhole, a huge reservoir appeared, the largest reservoir of the farm, the area is almost 500 acres, the water demand is almost 3 million cubic meters, with the existence of this reservoir, even if it encounters a very serious drought, the farm's water supply will not have any problems.

And these changes were unimaginable when the two of them stood in this desert back then.

At that time, they never thought that the land was not enough, but now, they are in a dilemma of land shortage, which is really a bit surprising.

"The tribesmen also need to prepare a place, but the place near the highway is better left to ourselves, and I am going to draw a place for them to live on the south side of the farm, the location there is not very suitable for planting, the low-lying land is saline, and it is still good to use it as residential land!"

The development direction of the farm is gradually moving closer to Highway 11, which was about 1,000 meters away from the road, and after continuous eastward approaching, they are now going to build a new farm community less than 400 meters away from Highway 11, and after this community is repaired, the farm and kilometer 11 are basically connected.

For Lin Quan, before he had no way to build a new highway, Highway 11 was the only way to enter and exit the farm, so in order to make travel more convenient, it was inevitable to develop close to the highway, so in this area close to the highway, he was ready to stay for himself, and it might be a good choice to establish a shop or a farmer's market here.

Several of the surrounding tribes had sent him letters saying that they wanted to move to the farm.

People from these tribes are very welcome to come to Lin Quan, because it will be very convenient for the farm to recruit workers.

At present, the farms are all long-term workers, and there are almost no temporary workers, so it is not good to have a little bit of it, because there are not enough people when they are busy, and there are people everywhere when they are idle, and the flexibility of employment is not enough.

And when the people of these tribes move here, there will be a lot more available people around the farm, and with these people, it is very convenient to hire a little temporary worker, a little short-term work, or so on.

Even Lin Quan felt that he could incorporate these tribes into the farm system, as long as they were willing to work for the farm, Lin Quan could provide them with a job to support themselves, which was not difficult.

As for the other people who were attracted to it, they probably did the same, and let them settle around the farm, and they built and cultivated their own houses and land, of course, in the prescribed area, and if they exceeded this area, it would definitely not work.

"What land should we give to them? Our future expansion direction should be northeast!"

Lin Quan glanced to the north, the desert was actually not so flat, and he couldn't see far before he was blocked by the undulating sand dunes.

But behind the dunes is the River Tailu, which runs across the desert.

The Telu River is just a small river that is not very big, and it is also a broken river, which will stop flowing whenever the dry season comes, which is very troublesome, so he did not pay much attention to the north before, at the beginning, Steiger, with the help of the Nigerien government, invited machinery and equipment and manpower and material resources to help him dig a canal from the Telu River to the farm, and in the rainy season, the river water will be diverted, irrigating the desert of the farm, and let whoever can store it, and their first reservoir was built in this way.

But now with the Jade of Water, the role of this canal is completely gone, and it has even become a channel for the water from the farm reservoir to flow back into the Tailu River, which makes people laugh and cry, and the aqueduct has become a drainage canal, no, it is a stealing canal!

But now, the situation has changed, because of the plan for the hydropower station in Qinchuan, the water level of the Tailu River will change a lot.

Dams are built to build dams, and even dams are built to build hydropower stations (some are specifically used to store water), and after the dam is built, the water of the Tailu River will not be completely drained in the rainy season, but will be intercepted, although its riverbed is not very deep, the river is not very wide, and it cannot store much water, but these are not too big problems.

Just dredge the riverbed near the dam and dig it a little deeper, so that the water will be stored like a trapezoid, the closer to the dam, the deeper the water level, the farther away the water level will be, and near the dam, there is a dead water line.

In the dry season, as long as the water level is not lower than this dead water level, there is no danger of breaking the flow of water, and if it is a little lower than this dead water level, then the dam becomes a broken dam, and the downstream will not receive any water support.

Above the dead water line, there is a normal water storage level, this is the normal reservoir capacity, above which there are three warning water levels, namely the flood control limit water level, the flood control high water level and the design flood water level, generally speaking, if the water level exceeds the design flood water level, then it is troublesome, the dam will not work, the water level is raised, the pressure is too great, the dam will be dangerous if the gate is not opened, or more directly, the water is full from the dam.
