The night passed, and the roosters of the foot of the mountain team continued to sound, and Qiu Hao stretched his waist to get up.

Exiting the dream last night, the time was only three o'clock in the morning, Qiu Hao released Du Zhen to return to the relics, curious to see the appearance of the real Yuan Shen, but found that the naked eye could not see the Yuan Shen at all, but there were some unconditioned reflexes on the body surface, only to feel a wisp of yin swishing in front of him, and then he saw the relics slightly fluorescent, and then he knew that Du Zhen had "gone home".

At that time, for safety reasons, he searched the relics into the storage space, believing that with the systematic space isolation, Wataru really couldn't play any tricks, and then went back to sleep.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sky was already bright, and the mosquitoes under the old peach tree had dispersed a lot, Qiu Hao sat back on the recliner and watched the greyhounds play, occasionally looking up, there were birds and birds playing, there was a breeze and falling leaves, and there were clouds rolling up, he breathed in the fresh air, and felt that life was calm and good.

Now even the youngest Xue has grown to more than forty pounds, half a meter high at the shoulders, and his motor reaction has become more vigorous and sensitive, Qiu Hao sighed slightly when he saw this, and actually remembered their clumsiness when they were young, as if everything was still in the past.

In the four corners of the courtyard, four North American redwoods more than 20 meters high are lush, and four or five sparrows are circling and frolicking among the sequoias, if you ignore the few ropes that hold the sequoias, then the sequoias seem to have fully adapted to the environment of the Qiu family, and it can be expected that in a few years, they will be able to weave a green sky over the Qiu family compound!

"Maybe we just have to wait until the beginning of spring next year to get rid of those obstructive ropes!"

Qiu Hao couldn't help but start to fantasize, but at this time, the phone suddenly rang, he frowned and opened the phone, wondering who was disturbing people early in the morning, and then saw the word "Chengxian", so he pressed the answer and asked: "Chengxian, what's the matter?"

"Mouse, there's an accident on the farm!"

At Qinghuan Farm in the distant new province, Nan Chengxian held a mobile phone in one hand and lifted an upside-down poplar seedling in the other, while the leaves and branches of the surrounding poplar and sea buckthorn were still sticking to some fine sand. And Qin Wu, Luo Suwei and Zhou Jianshe are organizing people to collect the scattered seedlings.

Qiu Hao twitched in his heart, and wondered for a while: "Something happened... What's the matter, is it the sandstorm that buried you? ”

Qinghuan Farm is located near the fork of the Lunmin Desert Highway, in the Tazhong area of the Taklamakan Desert, and Qiu Hao and Qin Wu and others have done an investigation, and learned that the sandstorms in the Tazhong area mainly occur between March and September, accounting for more than 90% of the year, if you are more specific, it is concentrated between April and July, and the number of occurrences accounts for more than 65%, but now it is October, and sandstorms have rarely occurred.

When Qiu Hao and the others learned about this situation, they were still a little happy in their hearts, after all, Qinghuan Farm had just been established, and the sand control plants had just been planted, and they were all very fragile, so it was the best to avoid sandstorms!

"Sandstorms? Sort of, but it's mainly a level 8 gale, and when we went to see it this morning, the 3,000 acres of poplar and sand dates planted had been destroyed in an area of 100 acres! ”

Category 8 gale... Ruined a hundred acres of area!

Qiu Hao's pupils dilated and he was stunned, took a deep breath to calm his thoughts, and thought to himself that it was just a strong wind, and it actually destroyed one-thirtieth of the current green area of the farm.

If this is the case, then the so-called Qinghuan Farm is the flower in the mirror, how much money is spent, and how much spiritual energy is consumed, Qiu Hao was shocked and asked: "No, the poplar and sand dates we planted are buried very deeply, why is the wind so strong?"

Nan Chengxian looked at the devastation, his heart was wow, his boots shook off the yellow sand, and sighed: "Hey, saplings, how deep can it be buried no matter how deep, not to mention that it is in the sandy land with a lot of sand, and the wind I am talking about is not the gale that I usually say, but the eight-level wind measured by the anemometer, the name is gale, the wind speed is about 20 meters, many seedlings are broken, and some have been blown away, and now the fifth master and the old watch are looking for the blown away seedlings back!"

Qiu Hao didn't care about those seedlings, if he didn't optimize the replanting again, he could ignore the money aspect, he hesitated: "Are there any casualties?"

"No, it was late at night, and everyone was at the hostel at Minfeng fork."

When Qiu Hao was still in the farm, for the convenience of his movements, everyone chartered several hostels at the fork of Minfeng, so that the sand control team had a place to live, but the environment in the sand of the farm was bad, but no one was arranged to stay overnight.

Qiu Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay if you don't have it, you tell them, you must pay attention to safety!"

There are dangers in the desert, heat and lack of water are just one of them, and there are also sandstorms, strong winds, poisonous insects, and even sand whirlpools that change locations at any time, so always be careful when moving in the desert.

"I've always had an explanation for them!"

"That's good, what's the matter, I'll go to you in a few days!"

Nan Chengxian was originally worried about Qiu Hao's reaction after learning about the disaster in the farm, but he didn't expect Qiu Hao to care, so his tone turned briskly and said: "Yes, it's still a strange thing!"

Qiu Hao was surprised, the hinterland of the desert is the same, what can be strange, and he wondered: "What is the strange?"

Nan Chengxian sighed: "You must not guess, just now, there were two waves of people near our farm, and the old watch walked over curiously to take a look, and when he came back, he said that our farm had neighbors, and there were two of them, you said it was not unusual!"

"What? Neighbor? ”

Qiu Hao was quite surprised, he went to the hinterland of the desert to control the desert, and his confidence was the system, but what was the confidence of the two waves of people who came? Because he couldn't figure this out, he wondered: "How can someone come to be neighbors with us, is it really fake?"

Nan Chengxian grinned and said: "It's true, the old watch has inquired, one is domestic, the other is Japanese, and he has rented 10,000 acres of sandy land near us, the domestic one has rented 2,000 acres, and the Japanese one has rented 8,000 acres, and I don't know the number of years, rent, etc.!"

In September, Qiu Hao and his entourage, led by a Uyghur couple guarding the desert road, selected a shallow sandy land with a total area of 20 square kilometers, that is, 30,000 acres, but Qiu Hao only contracted the best 20,000 acres due to financial problems.

He expected that it was the hinterland of the desert with the worst conditions, and there should be no one to fight for the remaining 10,000 acres of sandy land, but he didn't expect that Qinghuan Farm had only been carried out for a month, and two neighbors came, and they were all thieves, and they wrapped up the 10,000 acres of sandy land together.

It's just that Qiu Hao was even more puzzled, and muttered: "Forget about the domestic ones, but why did the Japanese also come?"

In fact, he knew that it was not uncommon for the Japanese to come to China to control desertification, for example, in Inner Mongolia, there was a group of "volunteers" who were working on the Kubuqi Desert for free, and if they could go to Inner Mongolia, they would naturally come to New Province.

It's just that there are a lot of deserts in the new province, so why don't they choose the Gurbantunggut Desert in the north, or the Kumtag Desert in the east, but choose the Taklamakan Desert, choose the desert hinterland, and choose next to Qinghuan Farm?

All this shows that they came prepared, but what was their motive? Do you continue to volunteer, and then people like to get together and live in groups, and want to be friendly neighbors with Qinghuan Farm, or do you think that Qinghuan Farm will have a lot of money in the future and want to get a piece of the pie?

"Where do they come from, what technology do they have?"

"The origin is not clear, it seems that there should be no shortage of money, and I heard that the technology is super water-saving drip irrigation, heh, in fact, in addition to this technology, they have no better choice." When Nan Chengxian said this, thinking of the current situation of the farm, he hesitated: "Mouse, I think we should also get that drip irrigation equipment, so as not to waste too much water!"

Qiu Hao was stunned when he heard this, at present, Qinghuan Farm does not have any irrigation equipment, but because he continues to send water to the pit next door, a large amount of water has accumulated in the sand layer of the farm, which also eliminates the need for irrigation operations.

However, now that there is Yanshi Henge, the pit next door is about to be transformed into a reservoir lake, and when there is no water infiltration, it is imperative to buy irrigation equipment, so he agreed: "I will buy it, and I will buy it after the reservoir lake is built, but I don't want drip irrigation, I want sprinkler irrigation equipment with a large lift!"

Nan Chengxian smiled when he heard this: "It's okay to sprinkle irrigation, it's not that troublesome!"

The two continued to chat, and the topic turned back to the two future neighbors, Nan Chengxian said: "I also think they should have come prepared, I even suspect that they should have been to the farm, and knew about the water bubbling up from time to time in the pit next door, so I guessed that this area is rich in water resources, and then I also want to create a desert oasis!"

Qiu Hao quite agreed with his guess, although water is not everything, such as wind and sand, high temperature, etc., but if there is no water, everything must be closed.

He smiled and sighed, "Those two neighbors, they should have done some research beforehand, but... Alas, they will be tragic! ”
