"Little fellow, you grow this vegetable well! This is a pumpkin, right? Why does it grow so fast? When you came last time, you didn't have anything here, but now the house is up and the vegetables are growing, it's really one word: cow!"

Zhao Cheng drove the army's Humvee and sent some consumables necessary for life, and it was inconvenient for Lin Quan to enter and exit, so many things were purchased by Zhao Cheng on his behalf, so during this period of time, Zhao Cheng was the most diligent person who came over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Our camp is also built next to a water source, the conditions of the camp are much better than yours, so I invited the local farmers to try to grow some vegetables, but all of them can't be planted, if you have more vegetables here, you can sell them to us, there are not many people in our camp, only more than 50 people, I think you can afford to expand the scale here a little, how can you be interested?"

Lin Quan understood that this was Zhao Cheng helping him find a way to sell, and he couldn't help but be a little grateful, Zhao Cheng was really enthusiastic, and he was not very optimistic about him running a farm here, but he was still supporting him with his own practical actions, his connections here were not strong, and the food supply for mercenaries might not be able to speak, but he was willing to try it for Lin Quan, a little fellow, Lin Quan didn't know, but he was tempted.

"Thank you, Brother Cheng! I'll give it a try, if I can do it, I will inevitably trouble you then!"

Lin Quan smiled innocently, but Zhao Cheng didn't care, and asked Lin Quan to continue to introduce the fruits of his labor these days.

"This is the tree they planted, most of it was buried by the sandstorm a few days ago, plus the impact of the lack of water, so the survival rate of these trees is very low, about one or two of the ten trees survived, but whether the surviving trees will survive the next few days, it's hard to say, the temperature continues to rise, the impact of the dry season is getting bigger and bigger, I guess these trees will die in the end." ”

The "they" in Lin Quan's mouth are those people from the Niger government, and their thoughts on sand prevention and control are quite eager, but in the desert, it is simple to plant trees, and it is difficult to maintain and take care of them.

"The trees next to your house have survived, so this must be the result of your care, right?"

These trees around Zhao Cheng survived, and it is indeed Lin Quan's credit, they can survive is actually very lucky, first, they received the effect of ancient jade, so the vitality is more tenacious than other trees, the most critical thing for the growth of plants is to take root, this desert north of Agadez is not without water, but most of the water is groundwater, and if plants want to survive, they must take root in the ground and absorb the water underground, the longer their roots grow, the faster, the greater the hope of survival。

Most of these trees are close to this pool of water, so the water level of the groundwater here will be higher than other places, and there is also some water in the shallow soil layer, so their roots can absorb water as long as they grow to a certain extent, which is much better than trees in other places, so under the superposition of the two effects, they will survive.

Lin Quan didn't just want to keep this part of the saplings, he also tried to take a picture of the other trees with ancient jade, but the effect was not ideal, these trees were too short of water, and although he was guarding a small pond, but the water in this pond was relatively limited, he couldn't take the water in it to water those saplings, after all, the cruel dry season had just begun, the dry season lasted only three months, in the next three months, the drought time will continue, and the situation will become more and more serious, there will not be a drop of rain in the entire north, and then this small pool of water may completely dry up, he doesn't dare to use it indiscriminately at this time。

But the drought won't end until May, and I'm still unsure whether they'll survive. ”

"That's right, this ghost place, the area is not small but it's too barren, I heard that the entire Sahara Desert covers an area of more than 9 million square kilometers, it's a pity that such a large area is a desert, it's a pity!"

Zhao Cheng sighed regretfully for a while, the area of the Sahara Desert is very large, almost comparable to the area of the whole of Europe, and because this is a desert, drought and little rain, the temperature is very high, so this large area of land is completely useless, for the limited land on the earth, this is a huge waste, if the desertification can be cured, such a large area of land can be turned into an oasis again, it is very useful, but unfortunately once the desert is formed, it will often only continue to expand, and the speed of expansion will be faster and faster, it has not been said that there is a desert that has been cured。

The Sahara Desert is the largest desert on the earth, and it is also the desert with the largest expansion rate and area on the earth, and it has reached the Mediterranean coast to the north, except for a small part of the Mediterranean coast that is not a desert, most of the area is a desert, and to the south, the expansion speed of the Sahara Desert is also very scary, according to this speed, Niger will not only completely become a desert country, but also the West African Plain in the south will become a desert, and a large number of people here will be greatly affected, Africa's population explosion needs more land, and desertification is also swallowing limited land, so the contradiction is very big。

Therefore, even a country like Niger, which is notoriously poor in the world, at this time, in order to avoid the situation of complete desertification, put desertification prevention and control in the first place, and desperately planted trees to stop the pace of the Sahara.

However, it backfired, they were eager to do a thing, but because of the unfavorable organization and scheduling, the plan was not perfect, and the logistics support was not comprehensive, they became a tiger and a snake, a lot of trees were planted, the power was also out, and the money was spent, but the things were messed up, and most of the trees planted died, not to mention, the water wasted when planting these trees could be done with some useful things.

"There are only so many people in the desert, there are too few things that one person can do, and I don't have the ambition to conquer the Sahara!"

Lin Quan doesn't like the desert, the scene of yellow sand in the sky looks not only monotonous and boring, but also lifeless, the deathly silence makes people feel a little broken, unlike those western blockbusters in American movies, the desert here is obviously more cruel.
