Chapter 323: The Way
Similarly, as the hinterland of a continent, Americans are not very enthusiastic about transforming deserts, because the United States has more land than China, less mountains, more plains, and less population, so the demand for land is not very large, although their desert has an area of more than 1.3 million square kilometers, but this area is nothing to them.

The Americans are not going to invest a lot of money in renovating the desert.
Sometimes, I really have to envy the Americans, the role of the two oceans, the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic, and the surrounding neighbors are pitiful, one is only their own horse, and the other is a broken house that is scared by themselves, so their lives are not too comfortable, no one comes to the door to be honest, this has to feel sorry for my rabbit, it is really hard.
In fact, almost all of their big cities are coastal cities, and their population is not much, so most of the population is concentrated on the east and west coasts, just look at the map of the United States.
For them, it doesn't matter if the desert improves or not, maybe it can make Hollywood have one more shooting location...
The situation is similar for the Celestial Empire, the Taklamakan Desert in the west is very large, and it is not very urgent to transform this side, because there is no one here, but because of ethnic and religious problems, the population in the west can not be too much, especially with the turmoil in the frontier in recent years, so that a large number of Han people began to move back, this is a very bad thing, since the Han Dynasty, the imperial court has been moving people to the Western Regions to protect the palace, and the purpose of moving people in the past is also very clear.
But now the frontier is too backward, and the Han people have moved back, so the Taklamakan Desert is well managed, which is equivalent to vacating a large area of land waiting to be developed, and you can think with your toes who this will eventually become.
However, the western sand prevention and control is not urgent, the east, especially the area around the capital, is still very urgent, in the early years, because of the release of satellites, coupled with excessive grazing, the playground in the Inner Mongolia region north of the capital is very seriously degraded, the playground here is very fragile, after the degradation will form a large desert, and the cold air from Siberia does not want money to blow to North China every year, so that the dust weather in North China has not been broken, unless the desert on this side is completely controlled, otherwise, This situation is not going to get any better!
The Celestial Empire government has put a lot of effort into this, and if Lin Quan comes forward to take on some projects, it is not impossible.
But he has a better choice, that is, to work for a Middle Eastern tycoon!
The Middle East tyrant is a country sitting on the oil barrel, the price of oil at this time is also the most expensive, although it has dropped a little compared to the beginning of the year, but the oil price is still above 100 US dollars, such a high price, so that the Saudi tyrant has directly become the world's largest arms purchaser, the United States has been very scary in arms sales to Saudi Arabia over the years, no, in 2010, the two countries partnered to make a big news, the friends of the global village are scared!
In 2010, in order to deal with Iran and at the same time in order to upgrade its arsenal, Saudi Arabia announced that it had signed a military contract of 60 billion US dollars with the United States, and bought 85 F-15SA heavy fighters in one go.
I have to say that Saudi Arabia is really capricious with money, and it bought such a little thing for 60 billion, and the bald eagle really dared to speak!
I think that when I sold the "rocket" with a range of more than 3,000 kilometers to Saudi Arabia, it was only a few billion, which is still something that cannot be bought internationally...
The Saudis are not stupid, they are so shrewd in selling oil, they will not lose a penny, and they will unite with the United States to make a game, and they want to die of old hair, how can they be stupid?
This money is used to buy weapons, but in fact, it is also to pay protection money, without the care of the Americans, let alone Iran, a big country with a self-help defense industry, even Israel is about to explode Saudi chrysanthemums every minute, this is not a joke.
Saudi Arabia is really rich, and when it is rich to its king, he usually goes out with a huge team of thousands of people, and all the equipment is brought by himself, and even the car is directly consigned by a military transport plane, which is really a tyrant!
However, the domestic environment of such local tyrants is not very optimistic, Saudi Arabia's desert coverage rate is more than 50%, more than half of the country's land is desert, and most of the remaining places are also water-scarce places, the forest coverage rate is the world's lowest, only 0.5%, arable wheat base is 32 million hectares, most of which are areas that need wells and canals for irrigation and drainage, and the cultivated land area accounts for about 14% of the total area of the country.
Looking at Saudi Arabia from Google Satellite Maps, here is an earthy yellow area, almost no green, there are many plateaus in the country, there are also many deserts, only a few areas near the sea are a little green, which is still visible in the case of magnification.
In addition to Saudi Arabia, many other countries near the Persian Gulf are black gold countries with huge oil reserves, such as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and other countries, they are also desert type countries, the domestic climate conditions are very harsh, but they are very rich, if someone can help them turn their own harsh desert climate into a mild oasis, then they will definitely be very grateful, as for money or something, they will definitely not be stingy, for how deep their worship of the oasis, Just look at the colors of their flags.
Denise is right, he can't stay here for the rest of his life, Niger is a small country, Lin Quan may not feel anything now, but when his things become bigger, he will know that many things will be restricted, so he must take a long-term view now.
Qin Chuan asked him to repair the hydropower station, let him share part of the financial pressure, but also want to use his relationship, Lin Quan's relationship network in Niger is relatively developed, take his boat, Qin Chuan can do a lot of things much better, and he thinks of not only the construction of the hydropower station, he thinks more, including his things in Niger's logistics and transportation and customs approval, etc., taking advantage of this time to take Lin Quan's ride, he is ready to contact more people from the Nigerien government, Only then can there be a way forward in these areas.
