Chapter 263: Strange (Plus 1 Chapter)

"Here we are, it's our new vineyard!"

After the two walked through the farm, they walked for a few more minutes, and finally came to the area that Lincoln had chosen, his vineyard was not too far from the farm, but there was a part of the area in the middle that was desert and there were no plants, so for Perona, it felt very strange to her, as if she had walked through the desert.

"It's a big piece, are these all right?"

Perona was a little surprised, the large area in front of her was planted with grape seedlings, and these seedlings looked green, and they had already begun to sprout, and many workers were busy in it, not knowing what they were doing.

"Well, it's not been long since it was planted, and the water in the land hasn't dried up yet, so the seedlings are growing fast, but it's a little strange that this batch of seedlings seems to grow a little faster than other plants, and their leaves come out and turn dark green the next day, which makes me a little strange!"

The main reason for this is that there is not a lot of chlorophyll in the young leaves, so the color does not look dark, but after six to seven days of growth, these leaves will gradually turn dark green, and their leaves will be photosynthesized after the stored nutrients can support them to produce more chlorophyll, so the leaves will look greener.

However, Lincoln noticed that the situation on his side was a little different, the young leaves on their side were still yellow-green on the first day, but when they came together the next morning, they found that the color had changed, they had all changed to dark green, and the grape seedlings seemed to have grown a lot taller overnight, which made Lincoln a little puzzled, and he couldn't understand what was going on.

Of course, he couldn't figure it out, because Lin Quan didn't want him to understand.

"Is the ground watered, and why does it feel hard to walk up? ”

The sand is soft before it is soaked in water, and it sinks down when you step on it, but if the sand is soaked in water, then they will become relatively solid to a certain extent, and the feeling of stepping on it is different, this is because the tension of the water in it makes them close to each other's attraction and become a lot tighter, so it will feel very strong.

"The seedlings of the vines that have been watered with a pump before are relatively delicate, and if they are not watered, they probably won't survive!"

Lincoln stood in the middle of the vineyard, with his hands on his waist, looking at this large field of grape seedlings, and he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, these things were all made by him, and this will become the foundation for him to build his own winery, he will create his own winery in Africa, and then expand its fame to the world!

"How much water does it take to pump water? How much water do you need for such a large piece of land? Where do you pump water from?

Perona squatted down and reached out to buckle on the ground, the sand on the ground was relatively soft, and the outer layer of sand was slightly compacted, but the sand inside was even softer, and it was wet soil with moisture, so it seemed that Lincoln was not lying to her, this land was really watered, just like this, if you want to water it, how much water should you need?

"It's not pumping water from the reservoir, the reservoir is too far from here, we don't have that long pipes, so we take water from wells!"

Lincoln pointed to a nearby well, and Perona was stunned for a moment, very suspicious: What are you kidding, pumping water from a well to irrigate the desert?

She counted and found that there were not many wells nearby, probably less than twenty, which was too few, how could such a small number of wells be able to irrigate such a large area of land?

"Hehe, Miss Perona, you must be very strange, don't you think that the number of wells on our side is too small, and the water in the wells is not enough for irrigation, right?"

Lincoln had doubted this at the beginning, so at this time he had a deep understanding of Perona's feelings.

"Well, it's strange, Mr. Lincoln, don't you think that seems unreasonable?"

Lincoln smiled slightly, "The Sahara is a magical place, it is extremely dry on the surface, it is the most unsuitable environment for living things in the world, but under this earth, there are very rich water resources, Miss Perona, you have been to many places in Africa, such as Libya, you must have also been there, then you should know that there is an underground canal in Libya, which is used to take groundwater from the Sahara Desert, and the reason why they do this is because it is cheaper and more convenient than they directly desalinate seawater." ”

"And I was very skeptical before, if you take water from the ground, how can you rely on a well alone, but at that time, our boss, that is, Boss Lin, he told me with certainty that the groundwater is very rich, and I don't worry about not enough at all, so we only used a well, and pumped water in it to help this piece of land complete the watering, and after taking water in this way, the water level in this well has not dropped, but has increased a lot, you say this thing is not amazing!"

After Lincoln finished speaking, he looked at Perona with a smile on his face, and the latter had a strange expression on his face, if it weren't for Lincoln's very calm and calm expression, she would have thought that Lincoln was joking with her.

"A well?"

Perona asked, and Lincoln nodded, "Yes, it's a well!"

"Can you take me to see it?"

"No problem, it's the well over there!"

Lincoln pointed to a nearby well and said to Perona.

The two of them then walked to the well, and Perona looked inside, and found that the water level of the well seemed to be higher than the one she had seen on the farm before, but it was a little lower, so the water level was higher.

"This well is 35 meters deep, about 1.5 meters in diameter, about 28 meters in effective water depth, and the current water level is about 32 meters on the line, that is, the water surface is only about 3 meters from the ground, and the water storage is only about 40 tons!"

Lincoln explained on the side, Perona looked at it for a while, and then looked back at the vineyard behind them, this vineyard is not small, at least dozens of acres, such a large piece of land, how much water does it take to water it?
