Volume 1 Chapter 12 A very magical story
Two days later, Li Sheng flew Anthony and the three of them to Santarém. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info then drove back by himself. It's not difficult to get a driver's license. And he asked Fernando to do him a favor, and the documents he needed didn't require much formalities.
The only three workers are gone, and Li Sheng is alone in the huge silent farm. Aside from the chirping of the animals, it really becomes a veritable place of silence.
But he wasn't scared. I started to sleep in broad daylight. At night, he woke up. In the evenings, it is his working time.
With the midpoint of the ranch as the center, all within a radius of 300 kilometers are within his control. Of course, he couldn't control that much at the same time, and he didn't have to.
He asked the three workers to leave because he didn't want them to notice anything unusual on the ranch. At night in the Amazon, there are hardly any people outdoors. Unless it's some scientific expedition team.
However, the paranormal happens in the rivers around the Silent Pastures, and the expedition team that prefers to visit animals is not interested in this wasteland that has been completely destroyed and vegetation destroyed. Night is also the best camouflage color. These anomalies are not found at all in a slightly farther distance.
In the middle of the night, the clearing of the Silent Pasture and the southern bank of the river, one of which seems to be alive, "climbs" along the bank to the land, and the thickness is only about 20 centimeters. They are not slow to climb upwards, two to three meters per second. A large amount of water climbed onto land, and the water level in the river slowly dropped. But none of this was discovered. If it's daytime, you can see that the water is clear and clear, but it's muddy and very muddy.
Li Sheng controlled the surrounding river flooding the wasteland of the pasture. The current climbs to the shore with the silt from the riverbed and heads inland. An area of nearly 10,000 square kilometers will require no less silt.
No amount of silt in the beds of several nearby rivers could meet the needs of his plan. The water from the ground of the nearby riverbed within a radius of three hundred kilometers was constantly rushing in the direction of the Silent Pasture. The two rivers in the east and west directions are not very large, and although they are not small in volume, the riverbeds are not very wide. Compared to the main stream of the Amazon, which is twenty or thirty kilometers wide, the amount of silt in these two riverbeds is very small.
But the current will carry the silt from the main stream upstream, upstream into these two rivers and then climb up to land.
It's certainly not something that can be done in a day or two. After controlling the current to carry the silt for a distance, of course, he could not support the previous spread of the silt on the riverbed, waiting for the next transport. The flow of the Amazon River is not very fast, and most rivers do not exceed 0.2 meters during the dry season, and the silt left on the riverbed is not worried about how much it will be washed away.
The river flows from south to north and takes nearly twenty hours. But after 20 hours, the water settles the silt, which is then allowed to seep into the ground or return to the river on its own.
However, there is a group of rivers that do not return to the river. There is not a lot of water in these rivers. But they were specially left on land by Li Sheng. They swirl around the depression and dig deeper into pools and small lakes, and carry the mud to the shore. As for the oxbow lake, the trees on the shore of the lake were not cut down. He found that it was the dry season, and the water was not deep, but the fish were dense. Li Sheng planned to keep such a lake forever, and even dug some deeper.
Twenty hours of continuous carrying of the sludge made Li Sheng even feel the shape of his brain clearly—hot, very clear—and Li Sheng would not dare to do that again no matter what. He was also so tired that after getting it once, he slept all day and didn't recover.
And on the night he slept, if anyone wore infrared glasses, he could see that when it was almost dawn, countless glowing things like fireflies appeared in the surrounding forest and flew in the direction of the Silent Pasture. These points of light understand the overflow of every vine on every tree, even from every plant. A single plant emits a point of light, and when no one notices it, it flies into the Silent Pasture, and then gathers in a luxurious wooden house in the pasture.
Li Sheng didn't know that countless points of light squeezed into his body. He felt refreshed before noon. Seeing the flooded ground with an extra layer of black soil three centimeters thick, I felt that the hard work of the whole day was very worthwhile.
But that's not all. Although the density of dust in the air is not great. But the volume of air is also very large. It's the dry season, and the low pressure is attracting some African dust, and there is no shortage of dust in the sky. He threw his mind on the dust. In fact, without this dust, I am afraid that it would not necessarily be as fertile as the Amazon plain.
Dust from a hemisphere within a radius of 300 kilometers was concentrated over the farm by his area, and when the charged dust bonded together, it fell downward. Soon, the entire silent clearing was gray. It's a little suspicious, but at best, some people think that the wind is blowing in this arid land, causing it to be dusty.
It took another half of the day before Li Sheng brought the first batch of dust to the ground. But at this time, the air he could control was dusty again. It's just that this amount is still relatively small. It will take time to build up the density to be as dense as anywhere else. Maybe tomorrow will do.
I slept until the next night. There is still a lot of humus in the river bed and the river, which he needs. All he had to do was bring these things to the Silent Pasture.
In order to complete the project as soon as possible, he spends all his time in this area except for eating and sleeping to replenish his energy and physical strength. After nearly two months of extreme operation, he dug the surrounding riverbed three or four meters deeper, and the amount of dust in the air throughout South America dropped to a low point. The ground of his ranch has risen by about 50 centimeters. And the soil is basically thick enough for him. And he also suffered nearly twenty pounds.
On the night of November 1, the river once again flooded the land. And in front of Li Sheng's wooden house, there are piles of things that look like sesame seeds. Those were the grass seeds he had collected from the space during this time. Judging from the growth of these grasses in the space, it is a very high-quality forage. If it can be bred here, it will of course be very valuable for this land.
The flooding river washed the mounds of grass seeds, carried them to other places, and then spread them evenly. At the same time, it is again covered with a layer of silt one or two centimeters thick. Before the river left, he helped him clean all the mud that had accumulated on the airport. In case the airport is unusable.
A few days later, grass seeds had been planted where he planned to plant pasture. In order for these grass seeds to grow as soon as possible before the rainy season arrives. He let out the water of the big lake in space. A thin layer of water from these lakes flows over the dry silt, above the ground, and into the ground. When he can't control enough water, he drives to another location to continue. He waited until the lake had overflowed the wasteland before he gave up.
It was all this last night, and he just started to return to his normal routine. Today's wooden house floor is two steps too high. There was only about half of the snake-proof space under the floor of the previous wooden house.
Normally, the silt will stick if it comes into contact with water, but after many times of dehydration and solidification, these soils have already become relatively solid, and a small amount of water can only wet them without turning them into mud. Of course, the main thing is that the silt he dug in the river has already dug up to the layer of sediment below. The hardness of sediment is much better than that of silt. So, even if it rains a lot, this place won't turn into mud if you step on it.
Now, he still has about half a month to make this land grow grass. Otherwise, Babur and they will come back, and he will not be able to do many things.
The biggest problem in the future is how to use the lake water in the space for pasture. And he dug up some ponds to solve this problem. The grass that has grown on the ground has a peculiar characteristic. Their root systems dock with their own species that can absorb water from space lakes. As long as there is enough grass to absorb the water of the space river, then the grass can use the water of the lake in its entirety.
There are 36 ponds he dug with hydraulic power, each of which is different in size but evenly distributed, and some of them are connected by waterways that are not too far away. In the future, both animals and plants can use the water from these lakes.
Why thirty-six. Because he can only do forty-eight docking in space and the real world, and release the water inside. He needed to keep some of the docks, and the rest would be housed in the ranch's pond. In fact, these water surfaces can no longer be called ponds, each of which is at least 20 square kilometers, and each of them is about 5 meters deep. They should be called lakes.
These lakes are connected only by a few stream-level channels that eventually flow into large rivers near the piers. Therefore, there is basically no possibility of direct exchange of water with the outside world. The edges of these small lakes are higher than the surrounding landmass. This also means that even if it is a downpour, their catchment area is only the surface of their lake, and the dilution effect of external water sources on the water in the lake is not too large.
In addition, these small lakes can be used for other purposes, such as for aquaculture farming. Of course, when it can be used depends on Li Sheng's mood.
