Now, Qiu Hao feels that his understanding of the Taklamakan Desert is still very shallow, the desert is not short of water, and he feels that there is a feeling of "riding a horse to find a horse" in the past, but unfortunately those waters are highly mineralized water that is difficult to use.

However, although Qiu Hao had no intention of pumping deep groundwater, he couldn't help but wonder: "How did such a huge amount of water come from?"

Yuan Ze said indifferently: "The Taklamakan Desert is located in the Tarim Basin, because it is surrounded by mountains and has a low altitude, is it difficult to understand the stagnant water?" As for the source of water, it is mainly the condensation and sinking of moisture in the air, but also rainwater, as well as river water such as the Tarim River, snow water. ”

Qiu Hao was stunned and found that it seemed to be true as Yuan Ze said, the altitude of the Tarim Basin is about 1,000 meters, and the surrounding mountains are 4,000 to 6,000 meters above sea level, just like a bowl, no wonder it can accumulate a large amount of groundwater.

Seeing Qiu Hao's realization, Yuan Ze shook his head and sighed to himself: "Actually, in my opinion, you people are simply seeking fish from trees, and it can't be said that there is no effect, but even if you plant more trees, you can't solve the fundamental problem!"

As soon as the words stopped, Yuan Ze stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky, and said: "If you want to control the Taklamakan Desert, you should prescribe the right medicine, first of all, you must know how this desert was formed, the human factor cannot be ignored, but the essence of the problem is not people, but the climate!"

"The reality is that the Taklamakan Desert is located in the hinterland of the new province, south of the Tien Shan Mountains and north of the Kunlun Mountains. The Tibetan Plateau prevents water vapor from the Indian Ocean from entering the new province, the Pamir Plateau in the west blocks water vapor from the Atlantic Ocean, and the Tien Shan Mountains in the north and mountains further north, making it impossible for water vapor from the Arctic Ocean to pass.

Another point is that the existence of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will also force the hot and dry westerly wind belt that affects Central Asia to the north, which in turn affects the new province.

Taken together, it is the Taklamakan Desert, where water vapor cannot enter from all directions, and it is not within the influence of the monsoon, and it is controlled by the climate of the hot and dry westerly wind belt......"

In the end, Yuan Ze sighed: "So, in the desert where vegetation is scarce, you plant trees and grass or something, just like Western medicine, where the disease is treated, only the symptoms but not the root cause, there will be problems after all, and when you can't hold on one day, the vegetation will die in batches after all, and the desert is still a desert!"

After saying this, Qiu Hao was silent, in fact, he did not ignore the climate problem as Yuan Ze said, after all, the Taklamakan Desert is so big, and individuals will think about how it was formed, and when contracting to manage the sandy land, they will weigh it.

But the level of that problem is too high, and it is not for him to worry about, and all he thinks about is to do his own part.

However, Gu Yu's reaction was different, and he directly slapped the table and fought back angrily: "Who said that planting trees and grass is to seek fish from trees, do you understand the local artificial climate?" A tree is a small pumping machine, if a large number of trees and grasses are planted, the evaporation will increase greatly, the air humidity will increase, and the precipitation will naturally increase, then it is no longer a dream to turn a desert into an oasis! ”

"Local climate ......"

Yuan Ze sat beside Gu Yu, and when he heard this word, he immediately smiled and said: "I believe in the existence of local climate, but it is not easy to establish a local climate, and it is even more difficult to change the Tarim Basin through local climate, because it requires the establishment of a huge amount of green belt, not to mention the 2,000 acres of sandy land you contracted, that is, the 20,000 acres of Qiuhao, that is far from enough!"

Gu Yu said toughly: "Then it is not enough to contract an additional 2,000 mu of sandy land, then 200,000 mu, 2 million mu!"

Yuan Ze looked at Gu Yu with a stubborn face, and said helplessly: "It's useless! The green belt next to the Lunmin Desert Highway is more than 430 kilometers long, more than 70 meters wide, and the overall area is 47,000 mu, but do you know the irrigation cost of the 47,000 mu green belt? Twenty or thirty million a year, if the area is increased by tens or hundreds of times, who can afford the cost of irrigation? ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly glared at Qiu Hao, according to calculations, the annual irrigation cost of one mu in the green belt of the Lunmin Desert Highway is four or five hundred yuan, and buying water from Qiu Hao is more than nine hundred yuan, as for the better water quality of Qiu Hao Farm, he ignored it.

"I can't afford it, but it's not my business to control desertification, isn't there Qiu Hao next to me, there are also many people who control desertification now and in the future, and it will always succeed!"

"Hey, you're too idealistic, those people come to control the sand, their ideas are not pure, many of them are for profit, such as Kenji Tanaka, and Qiu Hao sells water to you, also to make money."

"Desertification control is not large-scale and systematic, where can it be successful."

"Yuan Ze, you don't control the sand yourself, don't talk about cool words......"

Qiu Hao listened on the sidelines, he had now discovered that Yuan Ze, who came with Gu Yu, was not optimistic about Gu Yu's sand control action at all, and he was not even optimistic about him, but he didn't argue about anything like Gu Yu, because he was not familiar with the two of them, and sand control relied on the system, so there was no point in arguing.

……

At half past twelve, Gu Yu and Yuan Ze left, and Qin Wu and the others also came back from the sand of the farm, and then Nan Chengxian and Luo Suwei began to pack their luggage, and they decided to take a car north today to complete the task of collecting forage and old grass from Qiu Hao.

Qiu Hao looked at the two of them with brisk hands and feet, knowing that they regarded this trip as tourism, he thought about it and said, "Chengxian, I have made a temporary decision to go to Northern Xinjiang with you!"

"Ahem, you're going too?" Nan Chengxian's face was bitter for a moment, and his expression seemed to be unwilling to Qiu Hao.

"Yes, I don't have anything to do in the farm anyway, so I'll just go with you!" Qiu Hao said with a smile.

Qinghuan Farm is now an empty shelf again, Zhou Jianshe wants to recruit veterans, although one hundred and fifty people are not much, but there are not many, it takes a few days to recruit full, and this time is just right to walk.

Nan Chengxian blinked, he planned to take the opportunity to go to the Tianshan Ranch in Northern Xinjiang for a walk, if Qiu Hao, the "top boss", also went, he couldn't be so comfortable, and said with a wry smile: "Mouse, who said you have nothing to do, doesn't that Japanese Kenji Tanaka want to see you?"

"Yes, yes!" Luo Suwei immediately agreed.

Qiu Hao said disdainfully: "If he wants to see me, will I let him see him, and you all know that the water in the farm is not his share at all, since this is the case, then what else can I see?"

Nan Chengxian hesitated: "This is not good, I think that although Kenji Tanaka is Japanese, he is quite honest, you think that twenty yuan for a ton of water is cheaper, then sell it for one hundred yuan......"

Qiu Hao waved his hand and interrupted: "It's all said, water is the secret of the farm, don't keep thinking about selling it for money!"

Nan Chengxian was a little unconvinced, and asked rhetorically: "Then why are you selling water to Gu Yu, don't be soft-hearted just because she is a woman, or you are playing with other ideas, heavy color and light or something!"

"Fart, people already have boyfriends!" Qiu Hao scolded with a smile, thinking that the water was teleported by himself, and he would give it to whoever he wanted.

Luo Suwei's eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "Maybe you sell water to her, which is the first step to win love, because in this way, she has to stay next to the farm, and that Yuan Ze must not be able to stay by her side all the time, and then you will have a chance, is it the right thing I said?"

Qiu Hao took a deep breath and said speechlessly, "Where are so many conspiracy theories?"

In the end, Qiu Hao still joined the team to collect old grass, but thinking that it was October, he worried: "Cheng Xian, can you get old grass now?"

Nan Chengxian replied: "Yes, alfalfa and red bean grass are usually sown in spring and autumn, and now some artificial grasslands may be planning to rotate and sow new pastures, and those old pastures that have been cleared out will be used to fertilize the fields, it is not too late to go, but if we delay some time, we will have nothing to do!"

Qiu Hao was relieved when he heard this, and turned to Qin Wu and said, "Fifth Master, you immediately contact the agricultural technology company you said and ask them to send the sprinkler irrigation equipment over, money is not a problem!"

Qin Wu responded: "Okay, I'll call that company, and they will also help us install it, but ......"

"But what?"

Qin Wu was embarrassed and said: "It takes time to transport the equipment, and it also takes time to install those equipment on the sandy land of the farm, and the farm does not have any power facilities, it also needs to be built, and during the period, I have to consult the Minfeng government, I estimate that it will take half a month to solve everything."

"Half a month ......"

Qiu Hao felt that the time was too long, but he had no choice, so he had to say: "Give priority to building power facilities, sprinkler irrigation equipment is not in a hurry, after all, it will take a while for me and Cheng Xian and Lao Biao to find suitable forage for transplanting!"

"What about building a house in the sand?" Zhou Jianshe suddenly said that a few days ago he was going to contact the construction team, and then Qiu Hao said that he would stop for the time being, and he didn't know the reason until now.

"It takes more than 10 days to build a house." Qiu Hao replied that it was good to build a house with the foundation of the petrified stone formation, but the silicon carbide rod used to arrange the formation was not done well.

Everyone discussed for a while, and then the time reached one o'clock at noon, and Qiu Hao, Nan Chengxian, and Luo Suwei took a ride to Luntai. County hitchhiking.
