Chapter 442: On the right track
"Master, how do you know that there is water underground?" Bai Heyang asked.
"Actually, there is water underground. The main reason why deserts are difficult to govern is because sand dunes are mobile, but now we have solved the problem of sand dune movement. Will the rest of the problem be a problem? Watson asked.
"That's right. Even if you dig up the water, you will soon be buried by the dunes. The dunes are so thick that even if it rains, the rain will leak down quickly. No wonder I watch documentaries about dark rivers under the desert. Bai Heyang said.
"Actually, there are many places in the desert that were not deserts before, but oases, and even cities. But for unknown reasons, those cities later became completely dead. Some say that the lack of water meant that the residents had to move to other places. Zhou Zheng said.
Watson nodded, "At that time, the scientific and technological capabilities were limited, and it was hard to imagine that people today could take groundwater from a depth of several hundred meters underground. But we don't need to take groundwater, we just need to condense the water vapor in the air to supply the water supply to our Chinese medicine plantation. ”
"How do you gather water?" Bai Heyang and Zhou Zheng asked.
Watson smiled, "You're busy again." ”
Watson took out a bunch of talismans as if he were juggling: "This time you act separately. Place these runes in a specific place. I'll activate them all when the time comes. We have formed a huge water gathering array here. The water vapor around it will automatically gather up. ”
"I now understand why Master dared to come to this desert to grow Chinese medicine. There is the master's hand. The desert suddenly became a treasure. Bai Heyang said.
"Then needless to say, when did our master ever do a loss-making business?" Zhou Zheng said.
"Let's do it. Stop talking nonsense. Although this formation is simpler than the previous defensive array, it is not much simpler. Don't stop until you're done. Watson said.
Zhou Zheng smiled: "Master, don't worry." Although we are lazy, we are still unambiguous in doing the right thing. ”
It took Zhou Zheng and Bai Heyang a long time to place all the spirit runes. Although the Great Array of Gathering Water is simple, Watson's Great Array is not simple at all. This large array is actually a composite large array, so the level is lower than the defensive array outside, but the complexity is not low.
Watson was not idle, and took advantage of this time to remove the seeds of Chinese medicinal herbs he had brought from the space. There are a lot of them. There is a wide variety. Priority is given to the cultivation of medicinal herbs that are in high demand by Fahrenheit Pharmaceutical. In the future, I will slowly consider planting some rare medicinal herbs. Even ordinary medicinal herbs. It will also be planted here. After all, such a big place, if all of it is taken down, it will be enough to supply the whole of China.
When Bai Heyang and Zhou Zheng rushed back with people sweating profusely, they looked at the mountains of Chinese herbal medicine seedlings in front of Watson one by one. All stunned.
"Master. The military came over with supplies by plane? Bai Heyang asked.
"Hmm." Watson said.
"Why didn't we see planes flying through the sky?" Zhou Zheng scratched his head.
"Are you clairvoyant?" Watson said angrily. He wasn't trying to deceive these apprentices. He didn't bother to explain it to them. With the current conditions, it is impossible to equip each of them with a space magic weapon. Told them, in addition to making them envious. There is no benefit.
"Master, let's just do such a seedling?" Bai Heyang thought of a most serious problem.
"What? Don't want to do it? If you don't want to do it, go back to the East China Sea as soon as possible. But don't think about coming here in the future. Watson said.
"No, no, no, I don't, it's just that we have too few people, and with so many seedlings, we won't be able to plant them all at once. If they all die, it's going to be a problem. Bai Heyang said.
"That's right. Master, you have to think of a way. In a few days, the engineering troops will come to build a house, where will these seedlings be put then? Zhou Zheng said.
"Don't worry, it's impossible to rely on a few of you to grow so many seedlings. Then get the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month? Besides, let you plant, can you plant well? Manager Zhao has recruited a group of farmers from the countryside. He specializes in the cultivation of medicinal herbs, and will be responsible for the management of these medicinal herbs in the future. Watson said.
"Why did they get here?" Zhou Zheng asked.
"Come by plane. Our supplies also have to be delivered, and now we can only rely on planes in this situation. Watson said.
"That's an amazing cost!" Bai Heyang shook his head.
"What is this money? In the future, those foreigners will be healed, and it will all be counted on them. Zhou Zheng said.
"I'm not as bad as you think." Watson said.
"Master, we didn't say you were bad. We're saying you're good at making money. Earn money from foreigners, and no one will say that you are bad. Doesn't the price of foreigners' cars be sold in our country at a certain price? When they come to us for treatment, we will also increase the price several times. Zhou Zheng said.
"Yes, that's how it should be. They love to come or not. Our medicinal herbs are grown on the land of our country. People in our country naturally want to enjoy the preferential treatment. Why do people from other countries enjoy preferential treatment? Don't they like to engage in technological blockades? Let's also do a technical blockade. If they are not convinced, we will not treat them. Bai Heyang said.
"Whatever comes to the mouths of both of you, it's a bad word." Watson said.
"Master, we're not wrong. By the way, why hasn't your water gathering array been opened yet? Let's get started. Let's open our eyes and see how this water gathering array gathers water. Zhou Zheng said.
"Okay, then turn it on." Watson chanted the incantation, and a spiritual power flew out of his hand, shooting directly into the eye of the Gathering Water Array. At the eye of the array, a spiritual power suddenly vibrated in all directions. The inside of the large array shook, and then the moisture around it began to gradually gather, and a jet-black cloud gathered in the sky above the large shield. Water vapour slowly gathers in the clouds into raindrops.
"Boom!" Thunder rumbled from the dark clouds.
"It can't really be thunder, right? We don't even have a place to hide here, if the lightning strikes. You can't hide. Bai Heyang said.
"I don't hide, I don't have to hide. If the thunder wants to chop you, it will also chop you. Zhou Zheng said.
"Why just split me and don't split you?" Bai Heyang asked.
"You have bad water in your belly, who will you chop if you don't split it?" Zhou Zheng said.
"You're just a bad girl. Oops, it's raining. It's raining heavily! Bai Heyang looked around, and it was raining everywhere in the entire medicinal herb cultivation base, but there was not a drop of rain in the place where Watson was standing.
"Master, why isn't it raining here?" When Bai Heyang walked to Watson's side, he was already drenched.
Zhou Zheng also rushed over, "It's strange, it's raining everywhere." Why doesn't it rain here? ”
"Master. It's not something you control, is it? Bai Heyang asked.
"What do you say?" Watson laughed.
"Master, are you an immortal? How can you call the wind and rain? Bai Heyang asked.
"If you reach the Baodan period, you can do that." Watson said.
"Can you do it in the innate stage?" Bai Heyang asked.
"Unless you raise your cultivation to the innate peak, maybe you can barely do it." Watson said.
"That's the Year of the Monkey." Bai Heyang was immediately deflated.
Watson is still very fast here. Directly a large shield is attached to a large shield. All the large guards are connected in a line. It extends directly to places where there are roads. Then it's about building roads. Watson directly used a spell to harden the ground and directly make a road, which was much faster than the engineering team to repair the road. A few days of effort. A wide road connects all the shields all the way. One by one, the vehicles transporting supplies drove in.
"Master, your machine is completely a perpetual motion machine. went all the way straight through like this, and it was directly built into a road. If you go to contract to repair the height, our country's road and bridge companies will have to drink the northwest wind. The most important thing is that you have completely solved the problem of recycling building materials. Bai Heyang said.
"It's better for you to let Bai Heyang go to prepare for the establishment of a road and bridge construction company. I can guarantee that Bai Heyang will earn back a lot of money in the future. Zhou Zheng said.
"That's not going to work. I'm not going to do this, I have to learn Taoism, and this trick is very important. Bai Heyang said.
"Don't talk nonsense, the people who came to plant the medicinal herbs have been gathered. A few of you are going to keep an eye on me from today onwards. Watson said.
Those who came to grow medicinal herbs were farmers from the south who came to work, and Fahrenheit Pharmaceutical gave a lot of money, so it didn't matter where they went to farm. When they came to this desert, they were quite worried at first, but when they arrived here, they realized that this desert was not terrible at all. It doesn't even feel like it's in the desert. If I hadn't come and saw the desert on both sides of the road, I would have thought I had arrived at that large farm.
Ma Xiaoming is a farmer in Xiangnan Province, and after going to the East China Sea, he found a job, but he didn't have much money a month, and the place to live was very expensive. After a month, it is able to fill the stomach. When I saw that Fahrenheit Pharmaceutical was recruiting planting workers, I immediately signed up. As for where it was planted, he didn't even look at it. Just seeing that month, 5,000 bags were eaten. I didn't pay attention to the fact that it was clearly stated that I was going to the desert to plant.
"How do you grow in the desert? Isn't that nonsense? Ma Xiaoming said.
He Yunyun is Ma Xiaoming's fellow countryman, and he is named together with Ma Xiaoming.
"You don't care if he can grow it or not, the medicine will pay us a monthly salary. I don't care if they're ginseng or turnips. He Yunyun said.
"Wages shouldn't be a problem, this Fahrenheit is a big company, and I heard that the drugs are sold abroad. The kind of twenty pill you bought for a cold last time was produced by them. The medicine is expensive, but the effect is really good. Ma Xiaoming said.
"It's strange how there is no wind and sand in this desert. It's desert on both sides of the road! He Yunyun said.
"yes. It looks like a painting. Ma Xiaoming said.
There are hundreds of people like Ma Xiaoming who come to plant. These people are far from enough for Watson. Growing herbs is not like a medium crop. This thing needs to be cultivated intensively. Otherwise, there will be no harvest at all.
With more manpower, planting activities have been carried out, and progress has naturally been very rapid. Plus a lot of mechanical use. The degree is even faster. But the future of management is a big question. The area that a planter can take care of is very limited. Fortunately, medicinal herbs are not really delicate. Pharmaceuticals have figured out their habits. It's still very easy to plant.
"Master, I always feel that this place is more comfortable than the base on the other side of the East China Sea, what's going on?" Bai Heyang asked.
"It's actually quite simple. Although it is a desert, it is a pure land that has not been polluted. So the air is naturally much better than in normal places. Watson said.
After a month, the plantation finally looked like something. Instead of sleeping in makeshift tents, the planters slept in houses, which were not brick houses, but tin houses, but still quite comfortable inside. The temperature here is very pleasant, not to mention the air conditioning. Even fans and the like are saved. This surprised many people. In the desert. The temperature is high during the day, but at night, the temperature drops significantly, but here. It doesn't matter if it's day or night. The temperature difference is not particularly large.
The herbs are very well grown. Almost all the herbs survived. Those who sow seeds also have a very high seed germination rate. The most surprising thing is that whenever there is a shortage of water in the field. There's always a rain here in good time. The pools in the workers' quarters were always full of water. The water tower for domestic use has never been cut off. No one knows where the water comes from. There is also domestic electricity, and the base does not have motors, nor does it have wind power equipment. But there is always electricity at the planting base.
"We don't feel like we're growing herbs here." Ma Xiaoming said.
"It's not planting medicinal herbs, what are you doing?" He Yunyun asked.
"I feel like I'm in good hands! The old people in the village don't enjoy it as much as we do. We don't spend a penny a month on food and housing, and we have a salary of 5,000 yuan. What is this not about enjoying happiness? If only I could bring my wife here. Ma Xiaoming said.
"Yes. If your lover is willing to come, we are still short of manpower, you can all bring your wife over, and your relatives can also call over. As long as you don't break our rules, you can do things. It's all callable. "Watson came in and heard two workers talking about things.
"Mr. Hua, is it really possible?" Ma Xiaoming asked.
"Of course. When have I ever told a lie? Watson said.
"In that case, then I'll call my wife over. It's just that she can't find it. Ma Xiaoming said.
"You let them go to the East China Sea. I'll give you a phone call, and you can call that number when you get to the East China Sea. Watson said.
"When the time comes, can I manage a place with my wife?" Ma Xiaoming asked.
"Absolutely. As long as you get through the daily workload. Watson said.
"That's great." Ma Xiaoming was very excited.
"You're used to living here, aren't you?" Watson asked.
"It's ok. It's a little secluded, everyone lives far away, and it's not very convenient to have fun or something. But it's pretty good. The air here is very good, and it is more comfortable than my hometown. When my wife comes, life will not be so monotonous. Ma Xiaoming said.
"What you're talking about is really a problem. It's still all men here, so it's definitely not going to be like this. You can rest assured. Things are going to get better and better here. You also have to do your best to grow the herbs well. In the future, there will be more and more varieties of Fahrenheit Pharmaceutical, and more and more people will be treated. You've also made a contribution. Watson said.
"We've heard about Fahrenheit before. If you have a cold, we all use cold medicine, just take one pill. Ma Xiaoming said.
"Mr. Hua, rest assured. It's not a good job to cherish it, it's not a thing. He Yunyun said.
"By the way, if you have children who have difficulty going to school, you can also come to us. We have our own school in Fahrenheit. The school is free of tuition. It's not that easy to get in, though. But our own employees, naturally, want to enjoy this preferential treatment. Watson said.
After getting on the right track, Watson returned to the East China Sea.
"Xiaosheng, it's best not to go to the street recently, it's not safe." Zheng Jingying said.
"What's going on?" Watson had just returned, and he didn't know what had happened.
"Lately. There was a group of people who deliberately mingled in crowded places and pricked people with needles. They say they are living with HIV. To do this is to make HIV available to all. Then they will be mentally balanced. Zheng Jingying said.
"Wife, you have to be more careful. The security has not been good lately. It's very unsafe for girls to go out. Watson said.
"I know. Try not to go out, too. Zheng Jingying said.
"Are there any AIDS patients who come to our Fahrenheit Chinese Medicine Center for treatment?" Watson asked.
"It seems to be. But Wang Jia and they didn't dare to take over. Because there have been no trials, you have to figure out what the consequences of the new drug will be borne after the injection. Zheng Jingying put her son down.
"Why don't we work together to overcome this problem?" Watson asked.
"Of course that's good. But I don't want to always take your light. Zheng Jingying said.
"Forget it, in fact, I used to do projects with you, and I have a number in my heart. All of them are still you doing the work. Zheng Jingying said.
"But you're still on the right track." Watson said.
"My task now is to take care of our son." Zheng Jingying said.
Watson went to the infirmary, where someone had been pleading.
"Please, doctor. You guys give me some treatment. I was also an innocent victim, and when I saw a college student being chased by a gangster with a syringe, I went over and caught the gangster, but by accident, the gangster injected something with the syringe. It was taken for a test and it turned out to be HIV. I didn't have any hope of living. But I still want to give it a try. Said the patient who was rejected by Fahrenheit. (To be continued!)
