611 stands at the crossroads of the times
"Boss morning!"
"Good morning boss!"
Seeing Lin Quan come out so early, everyone greeted him one after another.
Lin Quan nodded his head one by one, walked on the embankment, looked at the rushing Yellow River and the golden desert around him, and felt a very strange feeling.
The Yellow River passes through the desert, and on both sides are the famous deserts in China, but the water of the Yellow River does not nourish this land, they still wither, gradually lose their vitality, and finally become like this.
And the Yellow River, just like it has been for thousands of years, is still flowing endlessly towards the distance, without the slightest intention of stopping to look at the dry land around her.
"How's it going? Is the water fetch going well?"
If you draw water directly from the Yellow River, you have to pump it up.
Lin Quan thought about opening the embankment, but the water supply downstream is actually very tight, this time is just the season when crops need to be irrigated, the water of the Yellow River is not much, the ice in the Hetao area has just thawed, the Yellow River has begun to recover, and the downstream is the time when water is most needed.
The annual interruption of the Yellow River is a more serious thing, because of the special geographical location of the Yellow River, when it passes through the high latitude place, the temperature there is relatively high, so the zigzag place will freeze the river, so the downstream water source is cut off, although there are many tributaries downstream into the Yellow River, but the water source that flows into the Yellow River is not very much, far less than the Yangtze River in the south, so in order to ensure the supply of water downstream, the state has built a lot of reservoirs in the downstream to store water, these reservoirs can play a role in flood control and drought control, which is equivalent to adding a buffer to the Yellow Riverso that it does not suffer from major floods as often as in ancient times.
Because the downstream needs to irrigate the crops at this time, the upstream water intake is affected a lot.
At this time, Wuhai Lake began to release water such as the Yellow River, and they stored water before the arrival of winter, so the water resources are still relatively abundant.
If this place is close to Wuhai Lake, Lin Quan is willing to take water directly from Wuhai Lake, because it is much simpler, but this location is far away from Wuhai Lake, and it is more difficult to get water from Wuhai Lake, not very cost-effective, so he has to take water from the Yellow River.
"As expected, at this rate, the first step will probably be completed by tomorrow night. ”
Wang Zhaowen nodded, thinking that it was not bad, and he was still quite satisfied with the current progress.
"Well, that's good. ”
Lin Quan smiled.
Wang Zhaowen took out his cigarette and poured it out, but he didn't pour anything out, Lin Quan glanced at him, took out the cigarette in his pocket, and handed it to him.
"One, one is fine, hehe, the old smoking gun, the addiction to smoking. ”
Lin Quan doesn't smoke much, he once studied for a while, and he was bored, but then he had a child at home, he completely quit, this thing is boring to smoke, it doesn't matter if he doesn't smoke, he just met an acquaintance to hand over cigarettes, and these acquaintances are basically employees of the farm, when talking about business outside, in fact, there are few cigarettes, and now everyone has begun to pay attention to a healthy life.
Lin Quan didn't say anything, Wang Zhaowen lit a cigarette smoothly, took a puff, and showed an intoxicated look on his face, "Hehe, boss, your 1916 looks really good, I'm afraid a cigarette will cost more than 20 yuan, it's really luxurious!"
The cigarette in his hand was given by someone else when Lin Quan was in Wuhan, and it was said to be a very luxurious thing, but he hadn't smoked it, and if he wasn't an old smoker, he couldn't tell the difference between good cigarettes and bad cigarettes.
Lin Quan said with a smile: "If our experiment is successful, maybe in a few decades, someone else will give you a commemorative statue here, and then you won't have to worry about running out of cigarettes, maybe even a special offering can be given to you!"
"No, maybe I'll be buried in the earth in a few decades, what's the use of giving me good cigarettes at that time? ”
Lin Quan smiled and shook his head, if the results are not made, of course others will not give you benefits, and even if the results are made, maybe it will drag on for decades, and then give you a posthumous award, anyway, when the posthumous award, the benefits given are naturally much less, people are dead, and it is useless to give it so good, right?
"Boss, do you think this can really be done?"
Wang Zhaowen suddenly stopped smoking, turned around, and looked at Lin Quan suspiciously.
Not many people know about the cost problem, so there are many people who look very much forward to it at this time, and they treat this technology as a very good technology, and most people think that this technology can be successful, and basically not many people have doubted it.
The more you know, the more insecure and suspicious you become.
And the less you know, the less troubles in your heart, the fewer things you worry about, people who stand tall can see far, and they can also see more hidden worries that others can't see.
At this time, Wang Zhaowen belongs to the kind of person who knows a lot of things, so he has doubts about the prospects of these things.
"I don't know, it's man-made, let's just do our best!"
If the rice here can eventually grow successfully, and the harvest can reach about 80% of the rice yield in other regions, then the prospects of this place are not bad.
Although the cost of Lin Quan here is relatively high, as high as more than 4,000 yuan per mu of land, this cost includes a large number of first-time costs.
To reclaim a certain wasteland, the people of the reckless era still knew about slash-and-burn farming, looked at the woods, dug up the stumps, loosened the soil, and cleared all the weeds before they could start planting.
These are all at a high price, and it's not just talking.
And Lin Quan and they are already standing on the shoulders of their predecessors at this time, because of the large number of applications of science and technology, so Lin Quan's cost can be controlled at about 4,000 yuan.
Once the farmland in this place is improved, the cost will drop a lot in the second year, although the cost here will still be very high compared to the mainland.
But the farmland here is not for farmers, but for businesses.
Farmers have too little capital, poor ability to resist risks, and the expectation period for expected returns is relatively short, and their endurance is not strong, but enterprises are different.
