The four seasons in Africa are not as distinct as those in temperate zones, with only the rainy season and the dry season being a little shorter, about five months, and the dry season, which is about seven months. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

And North Africa, especially those close to desert areas, the rainy season is very important for them.

This is the case in the country of Niger.

The country's population of 20 million is almost all agricultural, but the country is still a typical desert country, most of the country is not suitable for farming, the main arable land is concentrated in the south, with the red soil on both sides of the Niger River as the main grain production area.

The further north you go, the more sparsely populated it becomes, with the country's second-largest city, Agadez, home to less than 7% of the population of the capital, Niamey.

But in the desert more than 100 kilometers north of Agadez, a farm is quietly emerging.

"Hurry up, everyone, we must plant these saplings before it gets dark!"

A large truck swayed from Route 11, and more than a dozen workers were already waiting here, and when the truck stopped, everyone immediately rushed up to unload all the bundles of saplings transported on the truck.

These seedlings are fresh and specially cultivated, used to be planted in desert areas, the time of transportation is more than five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun at this time is not difficult to be strong, the seedlings will not be dehydrated by the sun, the survival rate will be higher, but in this way, the time left for the farm is not very much, these seedlings must be planted at night, and it will not be suitable to plant the next day, because with the arrival of a new day, the temperature will be higher and higher, the sun will be stronger and stronger, the speed of evaporation of water is faster than the speed of absorbing water, the plant will be very seriously dehydrated, and the roots of the seedlings in the heart have not yet taken root, and their own water is limitedThe more evaporation, the lower the survival rate.

And by planting water at night and then replenishing it again, the plants will be able to breathe a sigh of relief and wait until the next day to replenish the water again, and their survival rate will be greatly improved.

Water resources are crucial for planting trees in desert areas, and the groundwater here is relatively abundant, but it cannot be wasted infinitely, and it is obviously ideal to do the most with the least effort.

"Separate a little, each sapling under the bread of some pond mud, dig a deeper pit, yes, pour some water underneath!"

Lin Quan was busy sweating profusely, using the French of the two knives he had learned during this period of time to guide these workers.

In Africa, there is no such thing as overtime, and the time after 5 p.m. is considered overtime, so in order to let these workers work at night, Lin Quan not only revised the working hours, but also took out a sum of money to subsidize them, otherwise they would not be willing to work at all.

Since it was his own money, and it was calculated by the hour, Lin Quan could command vigorously, pumping every worker like a spinning top, giving full play to the ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness of the capitalists, and disregarding the labor rights and interests of the workers, so that these black workers could deeply experience the plantation life of slavery.

The first batch of more than 5,000 trees, each of whom had to plant 100 trees, was actually a very heavy task, but the farm had already done a good job, not only dug more than 5,000 pits in advance, but also put several buckets of water at intervals, many of which had a small plastic bag of pond mud next to each dug pit.

These things should be wrapped around the roots of the tree when planting trees, which can play a good role in water absorption and water fixation.

The soil in the desert is relatively scarce, and the permeability of the sand is too good, so that the loss of water is very fast, the water that is watered, part of it evaporates, and part of it directly penetrates into the ground, and wraps it with pond mud, the water in the pond mud is not easy to penetrate, the sapling can absorb water from the pond mud when it is roasted by the sun the next day, and when it is watered, the pond mud can also play a role in absorbing water, which can greatly improve the survival rate of the sapling.

The area of the pond is relatively small, and it may dry up in the dry season, so Lin Quan simply cleaned it up, expanded its area, and dug it deeper, so that the water storage will be increased, and the effect will be greater in the future, and this part of the pond mud cleaned up by dredging is quite large.

However, after these two batches of saplings are planted, these pond mud are afraid that they will run out, so he plans to transport a batch of pond mud from Niamey, but he must ask Steiger to help with this matter, otherwise Lin Quan himself is afraid that it will not be easy to do.

Lin Quan is not worried that Steiger's skills have been learned and then kicked himself, although the techniques he uses are effective and can improve the survival rate of trees to a certain extent, but these are relatively superficial knowledge, and some experienced people can learn it a little, but Africa is relatively backward, and there is no desertified land in Europe, so they have no technology accumulation.

The country with the largest accumulation of technology is China, China's northern desertification situation is becoming more and more intense, so in order to prevent desertification, the country has carried out a difficult sand prevention and control campaign in the north and northwest, after decades of efforts, some areas have been improved, especially the Inner Mongolia region in the northwest of BJ, and the experience accumulated in this process has become a valuable asset.

However, the Sahara Desert is a big desert, the conditions are even worse, even if the Africans learn their own technology, it will not be of great use, the biggest secret of Lin's body is the mysterious ancient jade and the system on his body, the system does not improve the vitality of the plant at present, it can only increase the yield and growth rate, but the ancient jade has a very obvious effect of improving the vitality, if it were not for this artifact, Lin Quan really did not dare to take on this arduous task.

The workers work together, some plant trees, some water, some transport saplings, some transport fertilizer, everything seems to be in order, everyone looks very nervous and busy, but busy but not chaotic, orderly, it seems that their previous training and transformation have had an effect, these workers can be of great use!

Seeing all this, Lin Quan felt a burst of heroism in his heart, as if the desert in front of him was not so terrifying, but a virgin land waiting for him to conquer, and Lin Quan was also confident that he could transform this place into an oasis in the desert kingdom, and this farm, this oasis would become famous all over the world along with his fame!
