Chapter 371: Desert Becomes Soil
In the three nuclear fusion bases in the South China Sea, the sea water is continuously evaporated, turned into clouds, and then driven to the desert by transport planes equipped with anti-gravity units.
The clouds are constantly driven over the desert and turn into rain to fall on the desert, and the whole process will not stop, no matter day or night, there will always be tens of millions of tons of rain falling over the desert.
The power of the nuclear fusion unit is only 20%, and if some seawater evaporators are added, the power of all three nuclear fusion units will be fully realized, and the amount of precipitation in the desert will increase by 10 times, which is shocking news.
The desert of China has now become the focus of the world, and satellites of various countries are aimed at the desert of China to take high-resolution photographs.
Now that the world's attention is focused on the desert transformation plan of the Uta company, Ross is under a lot of pressure, once the transformation of the desert is not successful, it will cause a huge waste of money, and the Uta company will become a laughing stock.
Ross wouldn't allow that to happen, the rain that fell from the desert during the day was perfect, and the genetically modified plant seeds had been scattered on the desert, but the task was not yet complete.
The seawater that accumulates on the desert will all become groundwater after a day, and the seeds that are sown must sprout and take root in the desert in a day before they can grow.
Plants are the most important part of the desert transformation project in addition to precipitation, without the continuous transformation of the soil by plants, the desert is still a desert, at most from the dry desert. It became a wet desert.
At this juncture, Rose did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and the sky was already dark. It's late afternoon, and the sun has set.
In order to get the seeds in the desert to sprout quickly, Rose ordered another wave of flight teams to start the mission.
Another batch of planes took to the sky, there are two kinds of these planes, one is spraying chemical fertilizers and various catalysts, these fertilizers and catalysts, can make plant seeds germinate quickly. Other transport aircraft have a number of light source converters on board.
These light converters are completely different from civilian ones, they are as big as a basketball and are hung from the cabin of the aircraft. The power emitted is very powerful, it can rotate 360 degrees, the plane does not stop flying over the waterlogged desert, and the imitation sunlight converted by the light source converter is converted. Provides light to the seeds of various plants floating on the water. The desert night is cold, but with the help of this light, the temperature of the water surface is still the favorite temperature of the plants.
The water kept seeping into the bottom of the desert, the water kept falling, and the seeds that floated on the surface of the water were stimulated by fertilizer and light, and they were supposed to be dormant at night. Rapid germination begins.
These plants are fused with the genes of moso bamboo, and the growth rate is already terrifying. With the help of chemical fertilizers and light source converters, they grow very quickly.
The whole night passed, and when the dawn light illuminated the desert, satellites around the world were surprised to find that some green plants had appeared on the 200 square kilometers of desert that Yuta had sown yesterday.
Patches of green water hyacinth, the size of a fingernail, float on the desert water, and even though the water has dropped to a depth of just over a meter, the plants are still growing tenaciously. They absorb nutrients from water and grow at a rate that reaches the limits of plants.
These plants are growing at a rate that is almost visible to the naked eye, from the size of a fingernail to the size of an egg in one morning. This kind of growth rate promoted by pulling seedlings is actually very bad for the growth of plants, and their leaves and stems grow faster than the roots, and the result will be that the plants grow rapidly and die quickly.
Crazy growth would consume the lifespan of these plants, but this was expected for Rose, who had only expected them to live for three days.
In the nuclear fusion base by the sea, the sea water is evaporated, and the clouds are still continuously driven to the desert, and after they descend to another area of the desert, they are sucked up by the air force and bombarded the clouds with missiles, forming a large area of rain, and groups of planes are throwing seeds into another desert again.
Evaporation of seawater, transfer of clouds, rainfall, sowing seeds, fertilizing, germination...... Everything has formed a set of processes, and with the help of Pangu One, as long as things succeed once, the whole process can be analyzed, recorded, and transformed into mature experience for others.
The silent desert has become very lively, countless planes, huge rain continuous airborne desert, the whole process, can be described as earth-shattering crying ghosts and gods.
Ross kept a close eye on the desert where the first day of precipitation had been sown.
A day later, the first precipitation of the desert, the ocean formed on the water surface no longer exists, the accumulation of about 5 meters deep on the sand surface of the seawater, has been sucked dry by the desert, the desert has become a wetland, rich groundwater, stored under the sand, this desert is no longer dry, just like the beach by the sea, just step on a few feet, dig a few pits, you can flow out of the water.
On the surface of the desert, the water hyacinth planted has grown to a foot tall against the sky, and after these plants are connected, the rhizomes are connected, and the green leaves the size of a fist are eye-catching on the desert.
These patches of vegetation cover 200 square kilometers of the desert, blocking the sun from the sky and making it difficult for the sun to evaporate the groundwater beneath the sand.
The roots of these plants have been rooted in the desert, growing towards a place where there is water, countless roots enter the sand, and the sand is fixed, even if there is a strong wind blowing on the desert now, it still will not blow a grain of sand, those plants are the most perfect ecological experts, they grow at the same time, in addition to retaining the water in the sand, but also in the role of sand prevention and sand fixation.
Ross was overjoyed to see that the water on the desert had dried up and the plants were growing at a pleasing rate, and ordered the transport plane to load the robot and the light converter and fly down to the desert.
An hour later, thousands of intelligent robots jumped out of the transport plane, and they flexibly plugged in various light sources to the desert. These light converters provide the perfect light for plants to grow at night, prompting them to grow quickly.
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye. It was already the third day after the rain was planted, and there were already 200 square kilometers of green vegetation on the desert, and the water hyacinth had grown to the limit, and they were all more than a meter tall.
These plants grow too fast to keep up with the nutrients, and they have begun to wilt from vigor, and the nutrients contained in the desert water can no longer support their continued growth. The plants have begun to wilt.
Patches of plants begin to die, and the plants slowly dry out under the intense rays of the sun. But their roots remain in the sand, and the dead leaves and stems of the plants wilt over the desert.
Ross then ordered some jets to descend on the desert and spray the dead plants with decomposition catalysts.
Three minutes after Ross's order. An airbase stationed on the edge of the desert. Begin to take off fighters.
After a stream of yellow biological bacteria sprayed out, the dead plants on the surface of the desert began to be biologically analyzed by bacteria, and the whole desert suddenly appeared a stream of green quagmire, after the plants were rapidly decomposed, various nutrients turned into decay and remained on the surface of the desert. When mixed with water, it forms a muddy mud that looks like a swamp.
Another day passed. Under the sun's rays, the rotten plant decomposit, which is as muddy as a swamp, is dried by the sun's high temperature and turned into a mud-like substance that remains on the surface of the desert, no more than 5 centimeters thick.
Ross then gave instructions to the air force that drove the clouds to the area, and asked them to drive some of the clouds to this area, so that a second rain would fall, and this time the rain would not need to fall more than 10,000 tons per square kilometer like the first rain, because there was a lot of water under the sandy bottom, and the groundwater was very rich, as long as some water fell on the surface of the desert.
Under the command of Ross, the air force drove the clouds and rained the desert again, and the amount of precipitation per square kilometer fell by ninety percent, to only one thousand tons.
When the rain falls, the sediment formed by the mixing of plant decay and mud on the surface of the desert flows like mud, and these mud materials contain rich organic fertilizers, which are the nutrients needed for the growth of all plants.
Ross once again ordered the Air Force to sow seeds in this area, this time the seeds were still water hyacinths, and their life cycle was still three days and one death, leaving behind the leaves, stems and roots, after biological decomposition, the decay would mix with mud to form sandy soil.
After three births and deaths, the mud under the surface of the desert reaches a depth of 15 centimeters, and after being exposed to the sun, it solidifies and becomes a solid soil, but this soil is not nutritious, and all kinds of earthworms and insects must be thrown in to feed on decaying plants, loosen the soil, and fertilize the soil with manure.
Thanks to the week-long efforts of the microorganisms, the soil has been transformed into inferior soil, and a variety of weeds and trees can be planted on a large scale, and after the rapid growth and death of those weeds, the plant decay accumulated on the surface of the desert will become thicker and thicker.
Finally, the microorganisms continue to multiply, constantly transform the soil, will transform the soil into perfect fertile soil, then, you can use the biological chain, release a variety of herbivores, when the number of herbivores increases, and then release a variety of carnivores.
After a complete biological chain is formed, the area will self-regulate, self-improve, and finally reach the ecological environment that human beings need.
Regardless of the rainfall and renovation plans in other places, Ross is trying to transform this 200-square-kilometer desert into a good land, he is serving as a role model for other scientists, as a model, and the experience he accumulates every minute will be perfectly recorded by Pangu 1, and these experiences will be perfectly applied to the transformation of other deserts in the future.
Ross now has a heavy task on his shoulders, he is a pioneer, and the responsibility for whether these deserts can be perfectly transformed is now on Rose's shoulders.
Time passed day by day, a week later, on the 200 square kilometers of desert, the plants were born and died, the decaying plants were decomposed, the accumulated mud reached 15 centimeters, and after three days of sun exposure, the desert finally had a layer of half-green and half-black soil.
Wearing Yuta One, Rose flew to the desert himself, stepped on the sun-dried dirt, dug a few pits with his hands, and could see that under the soil was sand, and under the sand, there was an abundance of groundwater.
Ross tested the soil on the spot, and it contains a lot of plant organic fertilizer, which is a favorite food for earthworms and insects.
Ross was delighted, referring to a team of plant experts, to airdrop earthworms and various microorganisms on this 200 square kilometer area.
Dozens of large transport planes flew into the sky again, and the transport planes and the surface of the desert maintained an altitude of tens of meters, and a lump of earthworms was thrown from the sky, because these earthworms were only the size of a needle tip, and they were too light to fall from the sky without injury.
When they hit the ground, they were stimulated by the sun's rays, and these creatures, who liked the shade and dampness, quickly burrowed into the dirt.
On the surface of the desert, there are many dense small caves, under the observation of various red heat detectors, you can see the earthworms in the soil, working happily, these creatures are constantly eating plant decay, the manure they discharge is the best ecological fertilizer, with all the nutrients needed for plant growth.
Rose returned to Uta, keeping a close eye on the earthworm's every move.
After two weeks, those earthworms that were originally only the size of needles, because they have no natural predators, enough nutrition, and grow super fast, many earthworms have grown from small to the size of chopsticks.
Earthworms are hermaphroditic creatures that are able to reproduce, these earthworms have produced many offspring, and the number of earthworms has increased tenfold.
The frenzied increase in the number of earthworms, working day and night, and the excrement they excrete, have turned the color of this soil from the previous half-green and half-black color, all black, and after geologists have tested, these ecologically improved soils are suitable for growing all kinds of plants.
Rose was so excited that his plan to transform the desert finally came to fruition.
At the command of Ross, the Air Wing again entered the desert, this time sowing not water hyacinth seeds, but various grass seeds.
These grass seeds have not undergone any genetic modification, they are normal grass seeds, but they still grow seven or eight times faster with the help of the light converter.
The growth rate of wild grass is already terrible, after three days of grass seeding, countless wild grasses have grown densely, and an oasis has appeared on the desert, this time they will not grow quickly, die quickly, they will be evergreen all year round, and take root in the desert.
After two weeks, hundreds of species of weeds in the area have grown to the height of a man, and a variety of weeds, shrubs, and flower species have brought the area to life.
Flowers and green leaves form a beautiful landscape on the desert, and hundreds of different species of wild grasses are the best food for herbivores. Ross ordered the Air Force to begin transporting various herbivores and dropping them into the area.
Countless insects, cows, sheep, pigs, and rabbits were dropped. In order to control the earthworm population, Ross had many chickens, ducks, geese, and many other birds in the middle of the world put in them to control the earthworm population.
Herbivores without natural predators happily spread joy on the desert, and weeds become their best food.
The 200 square kilometers of desert, in less than 3 months, was transformed into a prairie by Rus, the quality of the soil is improving, the quantity is increasing, the roots of plants are constantly growing towards the desert, helping to fix the sand, the decaying plants are transformed by microorganisms, and the soil of the desert is thickened after the transformation of the manure of herbivorous plants.
In just over a year, the 200 square kilometers of desert will be turned into soil up to half a meter deep, and after planting various large trees and investing in various predators, these 200 square kilometers will become a new habitat for human beings.
