Chapter Eighty-Six: The Water of the Desert
The desert sky is not bright, and because there are few clouds, there are no lights of thousands of households in the mainland, so you can clearly see the vast stars, and with Qiu Hao's eyesight, you can see the surrounding environment within dozens of meters through the starlight.
Not far away is the Gobi pit of the farm, where Qiu Hao set up a teleportation node, he glanced at the pit and found that the river water had not been transmitted in the past few days, and the pit had dried up, and he was not the slightest surprised.
Gobi! After all, it is not a dense stone structure, and it has not passed through the water of the river for a long time, so the water seepage capacity is too strong, and the evaporation of the desert is too large, and it is in vain to transmit more water!
"The impoundment lake must be built!"
Qiu Hao confirmed the location, and then walked up the sandy area of the farm.
The temperature difference between day and night in the Taklamakan Desert is very large, as far as the sand layer is concerned, the maximum temperature can reach more than 50 or 60 degrees during the day, and it will drop to more than 10 degrees at night, and in winter, the night temperature will drop below zero. It's seven o'clock in the morning in mid-October, and Qiu Hao feels that the temperature is just over ten degrees, and the short sleeves he wore when he came were enough.
Qiu Hao walked in the green belt of sand control surrounded by pits, his steps sank slightly and squeezed away the fine sand, leaving a long series of footprints.
Walking and walking, Qiu Hao found that the rows of sand control seedlings on the sand around him were always missing one or two from time to time, and then the blank tree pits were exposed, and many of the seedlings were slightly inclined to the south, and the leaves and bud tips were covered with a thin layer of dust, and many of them were also knocked down by the wind and sand, this situation reminded him of what Nan Chengxian said on his mobile phone five days ago, the farm encountered an eighth-level gale!
Now Qiu Hao already knows that there is no grade for wind speed, only for wind power, which can generally be divided into seventeen grades, like the case of blowing off tree branches, the wind is usually above eight levels.
The climate of the Taklamakan Desert is special and changeable, the eight-level gale is nothing, and the ten-level wind and the eleventh level storm with a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour are not nothing.
Qiu Hao sighed slightly, he knew that in addition to the problem of funds, there are six major problems in sand control, not counting simple wind and sand, it should be said that it is a wind disaster, sandstorm, high temperature, large temperature difference between day and night, high salinity, lack of water and so on, but among the six problems, he feels that the most difficult is the wind disaster above level 8 and the high temperature of the desert.
Because the wind disaster can blow away and blow away all the fruits of sand control, and the high temperature can denature the protein, it is a forbidden area for life, and even the sand control plants optimized by Qiu Hao are difficult to adapt.
As for water shortages, sandstorms, large temperature differences between day and night, and high salinity, the threat is much smaller.
"If there is a problem, there is a fighting spirit!"
Qiu Hao said to himself, he will not lose confidence because of a typhoon, let alone destroy fifty acres, even if he destroys five hundred acres, it is nothing, as long as the remaining sand control plants can grow, the root system goes deep into the ground dozens of hundreds of meters, and grows into an existence that is not afraid of wind disasters, then he can expand his territory step by step, and finally create a strong oasis in the hinterland of the desert!
After walking around for half an hour, Qiu Hao probably understood the situation of the seedlings in the farm, and without staying too long, he began to walk towards the Lunmin Desert Highway not far away.
Ten minutes later, he took a ride on the side of the road, and twenty minutes later arrived at the hostel where Qin Wu and the others lived.
Qiu Hao didn't ask someone to open the door, because he had the key himself, and for convenience, he directly covered all the three rows of more than ten small bungalows in this area, and paid a rent of 70,000 yuan a year, and now it has only been a month.
At ten o'clock in the morning in the new province, which is equivalent to eight o'clock in the morning in the mainland, Qin Wu, Nan Chengxian, Luo Suwei, and Zhou Jianshe got up one after another, and after eating the breakfast cooked by Qiu Hao, several people began to have a meeting and talk.
After talking about how the past few days have been, and after saying a few words that are not nutritious, Qiu Hao asked with a smile: "What is the origin of those two neighbors, you should know it now!"
"I already know!"
Nan Chengxian was the first to reply: "It was they who confessed it themselves, one is a senior sister who graduated from Qin Agricultural University, she is a beautiful woman, her name is Gu Yu, and the other is the president of Aitian Society in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, whose name is Kenji Tanaka......"
Luo Suwei also spoke: "That Gu Yu is the sixth 'Gu Yu' in the twenty-four solar terms, ho, she has a good figure and a beautiful face, it is rare that she is still single!" Whether it is a family background, my parents are both authoritative experts in agriculture! His eyebrows fluttered as he spoke, but in the end he frowned and said, "The only bad thing is that there is a man next to her who is pestering her, and that man is not from a small background!"
Qin Wu glanced at him and snorted, "What's the matter, you have Xu Jingjuan, guarding the bowl and looking at the pot?"
When Luo Suwei heard this, he immediately vetoed: "What's there, I'm worried about you, let's go to college together, but the three of you are still beating singles, brothers are in a hurry, it's necessary to help you pay attention to it!"
Qiu Hao touched his chin, it turned out that the person in China was a second-generation student, but he ignored Luo Suwei's "concern" and continued to ask, "What are they doing here?"
At this time, Zhou Jianshe said: "That Gu Yu said by herself that she wants to build an experimental base to cultivate pioneer plants for sand control, as for that Kenji Tanaka......" He smiled and sighed speechlessly.
"What's wrong with him......" Qiu Hao asked curiously.
"He wanted to build a resort, and he came to us the other day and said that he wanted us to transfer all the sand land on the farm to him, and he was willing to raise the price by 10 percent of the amount we put into the farm.
Later, we made it clear that the sand land of the farm would not be subcontracted, and he began to think about getting the shares of the farm company, hoping that Chengxian and I would transfer the shares to him, alas, in the end, we ignored him and refused directly! ”
Qiu Hao smiled and shook his head, when he signed a sand contract with Minfeng before, there was a clause that "no subcontracting", but even if there was no such one, he would still refuse.
All because the farm has already planted 3,000 acres of sand control plants, not to mention the consumption of funds for the time being, just optimizing 100,000 poplars and 100,000 sand dates consumes 7,000 spiritual energy, how to calculate this account? So don't talk about raising the price by 10 percent, even if the price is raised by 10 times, he will not be tempted.
"The farm will not be subcontracted, and your shares should not be transferred out, but now I am curious, where do they get water and dig wells? Or did it cost a lot of money to pull it from Minfeng and the county? ”
The groundwater level of the Taklamakan Desert is very shallow, as long as you find a low-lying area, dig a depth of three or five meters to get out of the water, bad luck, dig more than ten meters should also produce water, however, the amount of water in the desert well is very small, large-scale irrigation can not be counted on at all, just like the passers-by of the Lunmin Desert Highway, take a little well water to water the two green belts on the side of the road, has been regularly quantified, never wide......
Qin Wu grabbed an apple on the table and took a bite, this time has been hard and boring, making him feel that the ordinary apples in the past have now become rare and delicious, and he said in a vague tone: "They... Where to get water, it's... I heard that we have water here... Just here! ”
"Huh?" Qiu Hao was stunned, and then his eyebrows sank, it was hard to imagine how the other party got the news, and hesitated: "Isn't it?"
Nan Chengxian said with a smile: "It's true, they have been talking to us about buying water for the past few days, and Kenji Tanaka's guy even offered a ton of twenty yuan, which made me feel tempted!"
Qiu Hao knows that the agricultural water in Minfeng and the county is a few cents a ton, and now someone gives a price of 20 yuan per ton, which is comparable to the income of mineral water, and it is simply a profit!
However, if you think about it differently, a water truck can transport 30 cubic meters of water in one trip, Qinghuan Farm is 100 kilometers away from Minfeng and County, this freight is not cheap, and considering that the country has some toll stations on the way to protect the Lunmin Desert Highway, then if you calculate it carefully, 20 yuan per ton of water is not expensive, it should be said that it is too cheap!
Qiu Hao wanted to understand this situation, glared at Nan Chengxian, and said: "Water, it is the secret of our farm, it can't be sold, besides, is it tempting to have twenty yuan for a ton of water?" Hmph, I'll give you a hundred dollars now, and you can get five tons to try! ”
"Ahem......" Nan Chengxian was speechless, in fact, he knew that there was water in the farm, it was purely Qiu Hao's credit, if Qiu Hao was not happy, it would be that there was not a drop of water, so the price of water was not to say twenty yuan a ton, it was a hundred yuan a ton, and it was also priceless!
Luo Suwei's eyes glanced left and right, and found that Qin Wu and Zhou Jianshe were silent, and even faintly agreed with Qiu Hao's statement, and sighed: "Mouse, what about Gu Yumei's eyebrows, won't the water be given to her?" He didn't mention Kenji Tanaka because he had never been waiting to see the people of that island country.
Qiu Hao looked up at the ceiling, took a deep breath and fell into thought.
If it was an ordinary person who came to build a desert oasis and then build a resort or something, he would definitely veto it without thinking about it, but after listening to a few people, he learned that Gu Yu was to establish an experimental base and cultivate pioneer plants for sand control, and it was not for the purpose of making profits, so he hesitated inexplicably.
Although he can optimize a lot of sand control plants through the system, he also knows very well that his own ability is not so strong, so he always admires those who have the spirit of "pioneer", so he has not been able to block the way ruthlessly, and even has the idea of hiding and helping and promoting their progress......
After a while, Qiu Hao frowned and said, "I'll talk about this topic later, after all, no one has seen it!"
