The director said: "Mr. Li, our construction is that you choose a piece of land from Ruoqiang and try to interweave it with the Sanbei shelterbelt line, or you can directly contract a section of the project, I think this is also possible." ”

Li Feiteng shook his head again and again and said: "Let the country come to the Three North Shelter Forest, I want to choose this piece of land, a little above the Ruoqiang forest, we will expand this 3 hectares of natural forest land to the southwest within ten years, the goal is 10 hectares!"

"10 hectares!" the National Geographic Office exclaimed.

They couldn't believe it.

In the first phase of the Three-North Shelterbelt project, 700 million yuan was invested, about 2 hectares of plantation was made, but in fact only 1.7 hectares, and in the second phase, 1.56 billion yuan was invested, and the goal is to make 4 hectares of forest land in 2020.

Now Li Feiteng actually said that if he wants to expand to 10 hectares, wouldn't he want to make 7 hectares of plantations.

These 7 hectares are equivalent to 70 million mu, which is not a small number, but an astronomical number!

The director of the Geography Bureau hurriedly asked, "I don't know how much Mr. Li is going to invest?"

"The first phase is $1 billion, that's the budget, it could be more. ”

After hearing this, everyone was convinced, compared to the state's investment, Li Feiteng's investment was simply the total amount of the entire Three-North Shelterbelt Project, no wonder the state went through all kinds of procedures so quickly, and let him casually circle a piece of land, and he didn't even say the area of the land.

"Ahem......"

The director of the Geography Bureau coughed, because what Li Feiteng wanted to enclose was a desert, how to say it!

Taklamakan has an area of 330,000 hectares of desert. The rate of desertification is more than 400 hectares of wasteland every year. The speed of treatment is far from keeping up with the speed of desertification.

But what's the matter. Once it is governed, it will have a great impact, it will slow down the rate of desertification, and a forest will have a great impact on a desert.

With a wave of his hand at the Geography Bureau, Li Feiteng circled a large area of desert, covering an area of 2,000 hectares, and the rental price was free.

That's right, it's free.

When he wants to set up a desert greening public welfare base. In the Taklamakan to carry out a desert transformation program, the establishment of a desert film base, a tourism base, but all of them are free, as long as he can build 70,000 hectares of forest.

If it is built, it will be given free for 100 years to be used for commercial profit.

But if it can't be built, it will have to pay at least $100 million in liquidated damages.

In any case, the country thinks it is a very cost-effective thing, because the value of forests cannot be described by price.

If Li Feiteng can really transform the desert. Even if he earns tens of billions of dollars from the desert base he built, the country will not be blushing and regretting it. Because the upfront investment is huge, no one does this thankless thing, but only he has to do it.

Of course, after Li Feiteng fenced the land, he first flew around the world and bought all the companies and factories that could be useful for desert transformation.

Including those scientific research institutes, such as those that can hybridize very tenacious green plants that can quickly propagate and take root in the desert, including animals and insects that can form a natural biological chain in the desert.

In short, he ran in a month and spent $180 million.

This is some of the technical domination that is needed in terms of scientific research.

Secondly, it is to start on the manual side.

On March 12, 2006, Arbor Day, Li Feiteng flew to India to personally negotiate the first phase of the 20,000 labor force export plan.

On the first day of the talks, India demanded a commission of $2 million a year, for a total of $20 million.

On the same day, Li Feiteng directly called a parliamentarian from the magnesium country, asking the magnesium country to exert political pressure on India, and at the same time create a voice in public opinion.

What are you kidding, Lao Tzu is a public welfare project, for which the United Nations has awarded Li Feiteng various humanities awards, including the Nobel Prize Association, which also contacted Li Feiteng and decided to give him the next Nobel Peace Prize.

This Indian lion's big mouth really let Li Feiteng know what SB is.

In the end, under pressure from all sides, India asked for a total of $2 million in commissions, which is $200,000 per year, equivalent to a commission of $10 per person for the first phase of 20,000 workers.

That's very, very cheap.

As for how much wages does Li Feiteng pay Indian workers?

250 yuan per month, food, housing, marriage and childbirth!

That's right, it's 250 pieces!

If you don't have enough to eat, let you plant trees, take care of your food, housing, and medical care, the cost of this qiē alone is at least 800 yuan a month, and many people in India starve to death every day! If you don't do it, go back!

For 20,000 workers, the annual labor cost is about 23 million, and ten years is 230 million yuan.

Therefore, Li Feiteng thinks that this matter is very cost-effective, 20,000 people each plant a dozen trees a day, which is hundreds of thousands, 70 million trees a year, and more than 700 million trees in ten years.

Of course, it can't be all trees, including flowers and plants, so it is about the greening target of 700 million square meters.

At least 7 billion green area!

This is something that Li Feiteng must do.

How many hectares is 700 million square meters?

One hectare is 10,000 acres, and one acre is 666 square meters, which is a total of 7,000 hectares.

"7,000 hectares?" Li Feiteng was dumbfounded when he saw the results of his calculations.

Oh, he thought about it for a while, the survival rate of greening is very low, the further you go into the desert, the lower the survival rate of planting trees, so 7,000 hectares is just an ideal result, in fact, after getting to the desert, the survival rate may only be about 5%.

Normally, even if it is to plant trees in the forest. That's about 40% survival rate.

So. Li Feiteng calculated again. That's about 36 hectares of ideal state.

If the 36 hectares really want to play a full role, it will take 20 years to stabilize, so the target of the first phase of 10 hectares of green area is still very reliable.

Of course, these are budgets, and the real desert transformation has not yet begun, just the food and housing of 20,000 people, as well as the transplantation and planting of green plants, including the establishment of bases, and so on. All of these required Li Feiteng to go to the desert with them to investigate, but they observed it in person.

Li Feiteng looked at the map, he picked up a green ink pen and scribbled on it, if this plan could be successful, it would mean that he would build a kingdom in the middle of the desert.

A kingdom that has existed for at least a hundred years, because every qiē here is his master.

The Architect released its second edition, renamed Desert Kingdom.

Produced by hundreds of engineers, the engine developed by Yunteng Games uses film-level simulation 3D. It is a record simulation game, which is to allow all players who like sand table to enjoy the game of God of creation and change like Li Feiteng.

It's just that Li Feiteng himself is really changing the desert. Players can only be keyboard warriors and treat the desert in the game as their own world.

The first problem that needs to be solved to change the desert is water resources.

The country of Iselel is a country in the desert founded by the Jews, and it can be said that it is the same as Li Feiteng, who bought the land with money, and then they took salt water thousands of kilometers underground, and then used the salt water to raise shrimp.

Of course, from the geology of the Tarigan Desert, even if you dig thousands of meters, you may not have abundant water resources, so this method cannot be used as a major water source.

However, this can be used as a source of living water.

Li Feiteng did not think of such a distant thing now, the workers from India would soon arrive, and he was now going to Tarim to find a suitable place to build a living base.

Desert management is not directly in the middle of the desert and start planting trees, the first range is wasteland, that is, some of the gradual desertification of the excessive zone, there are a certain number of desert plants, but in a few years it will not be necessarily.

On this day, Li Feiteng and all of them wore camouflage uniforms and came to Ruoqiang by helicopter.

Ruoqiang is located on the southeastern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, where there are the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, which in ancient history was a necessary place for the Silk Road.

When he and the women traveled 440 kilometers from Korla to Ruoqiang on the desert terrain, his mood was indescribable.

Gao Yuanyuan asked, "Can you really change?"

Li Feiteng shook his head, he didn't know, but he would do his best, anyway, he was not short of money.

1 billion funds are just a start-up capital, and to really complete this thing, this dream of a desert kingdom, I am afraid it will take hundreds of billions of dollars of investment.

Now Li Feiteng is just an attempt, China's desertification area has reached 2.62 million square kilometers, accounting for 27% of the country's land area, and Li Feiteng may only need to transform some of it, it is enough.

As for the issue of the interests involved, in ten years, decades later, the desert city he established will inevitably be filled by people from the reading club, and Li Feiteng has enough energy to do these things anyway.

These are still far away, and if you just think about it and don't do it, you will never be able to do it well.

And when you start doing it, you can't look forward and backward, so it's still not good.

Unlike other people who manage the desert, after Li Feiteng arrived here, he went to the periphery of the desert to survey the terrain with desert experts and desert water conservancy experts invited from home and abroad.

"Mr. Li, I think it would be better for the Desert City to be built within 10 kilometers of Ruoqiang Tai Tema Lake as a desert greening base. ”

"Yes, we can study the climate and environment, including the diversion of the river, and if the phenomenon of the Tarim River being cut off can be solved, the surrounding desert has a very good chance of being full of life. ”

"The Tarim River has never been cut off since ancient times, and the downstream once flowed to Luobu Lake, and now the river has been diverted to Taitema Lake, which has changed the environment a lot, and along this generation of fresh water resources are abundant, we extend the greening from this side to the northwest to the Turugan and Kurle areas, and can also block the Yanjing storm and dust weather in the terrain.
